Short Crops In Grain Section.

The August report of the Statisti-
elan of the Department of Agricul-
ture at Washington shows that the
condition of corn has declined little
over six points during the past
month from the average. This de-
cline is due to the drought which
has proved both extensive and per
sistent, while in some parts of the
country continued dry weather has
injured the crop beyond recovery,
1t is, nevertheless, true as to a
larger portion of area devoted
thereto, that improvement is not
only possible, but with sufficient
rainfall through August will be as
sured. The averages in the princi-
pal States are: Illinois 81, Iowa 102,
Kansas 50, Nebraska 94.
There has been a considerable fall
ing off in the condition of spring
wheat since last month, amounting
to something over 10 points, the
average condition of the present
month being 67, as against IA for
the month of July.
The drought is prevalent over ex-
tensive areas and has done much
damage. Much injury also has been
done to this crop by the chinch bug
and rust in several States.
The hay crop on the whole is large
and has generally been secured in
good condition. The general aver
age of tobacco fell from SO on July
1st to 1922 on August 1st A still
further decline in the condition of
apples is made evident by the re-
turns of August. In many States a
complete failure is reported. The
drought has done damage to peaches
in the Atlantic peach belt. A fur
ther decline is noted in Michigan,
where the fruit has dropped severely.
California has good crop of excel
lent quality. An abundant crop OF
grapes is predicted at this date.
The percentages of July have been
generally we'll maintained. Dry
weather has tended 20 check the
spread of rot and mildew.

Slovenly Women.

A writer in the Ohio Farmer
wisely concludes that it does not pay
to go about home looking like a
fright. She says see so many SLOW
enly women, who excuse themselves
on the plea that they live on by
road and no one sees them. They
seem to overlook the fact that the
one person for whom in by-gone
days they donned their most charm
ing apparel and wreathed their faces
in sweet smiles sees them all the
time, at least at every meal, and
just so surely as they allow them
selves to deteriorate in their per-
sonal appearance, just so surely are
they losing his respect, and in part,
his love.

Sugar Beets.

The forthcoming report of the
Commissioner of Internal Revenue
will show large increase in the out
put of sugar made in the United
States from beets and sorghum.
The total acreage for the past year
was 24,793, or 81, 10000 pounds OF
sugar, exclusive of that manufac-
tured from cane in Louisiana and
vicinity. California raised more sugar
from beets than any other State,
and her increase of output for the
year was the greatest. There were
Is, 993 acres planted in California
and 43, 500, 900 pounds of sugar were
made. This is said to be an increase
of about 35 per cent. Nebraska
raised 1000, 900 pounds of beet
sugar on 1900 acres; Kansas raised
about 1900, 900 pounds of sorghum
on 1858 acres; Utah raised 5000, ,00C
pounds of beet-sugar on $500 acres
Virginia raised 70O,0 pounds ol
beet-sugar on 400 acres.

Wide Tires for Good Roads.

A recent enactment of the New
York legislature provides that to
every person using two-horse or
larger wagon with wheels the tire OF
which is not less than three inches
in width on the public highways a
rebate of half his highway taxes
shall be granted. This law was
made in the interest of good roads
Dealers in wagons who have been in
terviewed in Albany say that since
the law went into effect on June l
last the demand for wagons with
wide tires has shown marked in
crease. One dealer says: when
farmers have occasion to buy new
wagons, they will certainly choose
those with wide tires. There is no
doubt that the law will eventually
lead to the general adoption of wide
tires"

The Unemployed.

Arrangements are being made for
a parade of the unemployed of New
York. 1t will probably take place
next week, and will form melan-
choly sequel to the magnificent dis
plays illustrating progress and
wealth which gayly marched the
streets of the metropolis on recent
occasions of national remembrance,
and as a melancholy prelude to
labor's yearly celebration on Septem-
ber 4. The Secretary of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor estimates
that 100, 900 men are out of work in
that city. The promoters of the
parade argues that it will be peace
able army of supporters of families,
who "humbly ask their brother man
to give them leave to toll" but for
which there is no opportunity. 1t
will be worth pages of statistics in
bringing home to New Workers the
terrible conditions existing. There
are 1000 cloakmakers out of work; oil
5000 bakers 1000 are idle, showing a
greatly reduced consumption of 25,
900 makers 10000 are out o1
work on account of the greatly de-
creased demand. 1t is estimated sc
per cent of the Central Labor Fed.

Furniture Worship.

There exists large company of
women who, with the best intentions
for the care of their houses and their
children, still commit one heinous,
hygienic sin by what may not be in
aptly called furniture worship"
and so careful are they of carpets,
sofa-coverings and curtains that
ome rooms in their houses are main
tained in a cellar-like darkness ex-
cept for short intervals when they are
thrown open for company" If one
thing is more certain than another,
says the New York Independent, it is
the fact that all sorts of microscopic
growths love the darkless. One
has only to search dark spot in the
forest to find myriads of them, and
dark, sunless closets and corners
come close second with molds, and
if we examine carefully, a dust filled
with spores.
The army of scientists who are
studying the nature and habits of
the microbes inimical to health and
life have lately been making exten-
sive experiments on the effect of ex-
posing them to the action of light,
and with one accord they tell us that
the creatures were principally killed
outright, but the residue had their
vitality so interfered with that they
could not and did not develop nor

cheap article, has no offensive odor
like sulphur, and can be easily ap-

pet does fade a few shades, if the
room can be wholly sweet and whole

pecially in country houses, haunted
by an abiding musty odor; they
never had thorough bathing in
sunlight.

Farm Notes.
POULTRY FARMING.
Winter Eggs are Necessary for Success rs
Energy, Skill and CAPITAL.

are Energy, skill and Capital.
The Ohio Farmer received letter
from young man who wants to go
into poultry farming, and he asked
the usual questions, winding up with
the all-embracing one" Will it
pay?" The paper says in reply:
The evidence that it will pay, that ID
has paid, and that it is paying now,
is overwhelming. 1t pays the man
who knows how, and who has the
requisite energy and business abil-
ity. A prominent grocery firm has,
within few years, worked up a
family trade in fresh eggs, of nearly
half a million dozens annually. 1t
was done by looking up the men who
know how to get eggs in the winter
season, when fresh eggs are lux
ury, A representative of the firm
said; 1--WE care nothing for the
man who can furnish eggs only when
any fool can furnish them. We are
looking for the man who can send us
eggs when all his neighbours hens are
frozen up.
Oh yes, poultry keeping pays the
man who puts brains, energy, skill
and the necessary capital into it,
But it must be made an all-the-year
round business. If you give the
hens a vacation let it be in the sum-
mer, when eggs are low and poultry
not wanted. The dairyman who
feeds the heads off lot of dry cows
during the winter never makes it up
during the summer, and the poultry
man who lets his hens manage the
business as they please will soon re-
quire an assignee.
The man who quietly submits to
circumstances, in any branch of busi-
ness, is the man who gets left. The
man who makes circumstances is the
man who succeeds.
