Concluding, the statement SAYS:

Conscious of the great responsibility

proposal to arbitrate all questions in
dispute, and. if our premises are
wrong, if our position is untenable, If

SOME INTERESTING FACTS

A Possible Combine of Fruit Handlers

A Possible Combine Of Fruit Handlers
A Chicago payer, devoted to the
commission trade, is urging the mer-
chants on South Water street to form
solid and complete organization II
says that at the present time there
are four distiIct organizations there.
the Butter and Egg board, National
League Of Commission Merchants, the
Wholesale Produce Merchants asso-
citation and the Fruit and Vegetable
Shippers association. 1t is now de-
sired to combine all of these and also
all other interests on the street. This
would give most powerful organiza-
ton. The question with the common
producer end consumers is very
lively one. No matter how small
sum the producer gets for his fruit
and vegetables the consumer pays
a handsome price for them. Pro
dnction is thus not encouraged. To
day. as IT is organized, the South
Water street IS getting big part
OF the profits made on fruit. II the
organization be made more perfect,
without doubt still larger profit will
be made by the South Water street
merchant. This is very desirable
thing from the standpoint of the South
Water street merchant, but is 1t 30
desirable from the standpoint OF the
fruit grower and the fruit consumer?
It. simply looks as If the fruit business
would have to pay still greater per-
centage Of toll to the South Water
street dealers If this thing keeps
on, the fruit growers and the fruit
consumers will be compelled to Or
ganize in their own protection.

Germ. of Potato sesh.

Bulletin So of the Vermont Station
says: The scab fungus like most
other fungi appears capable of very
rapid development and reproduction
under favoring conditions; but, on
the other hand, 1t is very sensitive in
regard to its environment. The germs
may occur in abundance in the soil
or on the seed potatoes, and yet lead
to little scab on the crop il soil con-
ditions do not favor; whereas. under
favoring conditions. comparatively
few germs on the seed or in the soil
may cause great damage.
Presence Of germs. In the absence
of the germs there can be no scab.
This is settled beyond question. Boil
ley Of the North Dakota experiment
station states positively as result
OF his experiments that neither clay,
the blackest muck, nor any other
germ-free soil that he tried led to
scab. On the other hand the develop
ment Of scab spots was visible within
from three to ten days after the germs
were applied to the surface of young
tubers. These germs do not originate
spontaneously. The evidence indicates
that the fungus Is not native to
our soil. 1t probably was brought
here along with the potatoes in the
early days of their culture. Whatever
the original source of the scab fungus.
there is no doubt that Its introduction
and further spread in our fields at the
present time is largely BY means of
contaminated seed potatoes. It may be
carried occasionally on beets or other
roots, or with manure, or on tools;
but these agencies are probably of
minor importance. Our experience In
growing potatoes experimentally
during four seasons on a recently
cleared wood lot where no other crop
has ever been grown has shown that
in such virgin soil the scab on the
crop comes from scabby seed. Trials
at the New Jersey station proved that
when scabby potatoes were spaded
into the soil in the autumn there was
a large increase in the amount of
scab In the crop the following year.

A Retainer of Swamps.

The remarkable man who has spent
ten years in turning fifty square miles
of black morass into the most produc-
tive farm in the middle west is now
building a railroad for his own use.

the crops marketed from this farm
annually are worth more than $780,

ford, and his big farm is the old Kan
kakee swamp in the center Of Jasper
county. Indiana.
Clifford began active life as law
yer. BY completing the construction
OF an abandoned railroad he got a
hnancial start, and at once went to
work to develop his black-soil hobby.
He bought. at ridiculously low fig
ures. 10000 acres of swamp lands in
Ford and Champaign counties, ILL
nois. He dredged and drained them,
sold them for 800 an acre, and, In
1880. bought the first 5000 acres Of
the kankakee swamp. He expects be-
fore long to own 5000 acres.
When Clifford offered S. for every
acre OF the water and black ooze. the
owners lost no time in selling, and
congratulated themselves that they
had found sucker" at last. Since
then the value Of every one of those
5000 acres has been raised from IS
to a point where the owner has re-
fused offers of 800. and some of $l25,
because it is worth more to him in
working out his extensive scheme. He
now has the very heart of Jasper
county, Indiana, extending from the
hankakee river itself, nineteen miles
south-an aggregate of $4,000 acres
all in one tract. He has 200 miles OF
great canal ways. From the scrub oak
islands in the morass Clifford has cut
timber enough for the framework of
100 two-story farm houses and out
buildings, 100 barns for isese tene-
ment homesteads, eight district school
buildings, half-dozen great store
barns and granaries, and a good per-
centage of the ties used in his rail-
road construction. besides unlimited
fuel. Gradually the cultivated area
has increased. Last year it was 49,
600 acres. This year it will probably
run to 20,0oU acres.

Oats for Fowls.

We notice that contemporary says
that wheat is undoubtedly the best
grain for poultry. We must diner
grain most adapted to the develop
ment Of chicks is oats 1t is indeed
true that birds have to be accustomed
to eat oats before they will eat them
constantly and in large quantities. out
once accustomed to them they eat
them with great avidity. Naturally
fowls prefer corn to oats. But habit
reverses this preference The writer
remembers one case where he had
kept oats from his hens for some
days. They had been accustomed to
that grain for months. When oats
were again given it was in the form
of a mixture of corn and oats TO
his surprise the hens picked out the
oats in preference to the corn, eating
the latter only after the oats had dis
appeared. One objection raised against
oats is that they sometimes puncture
with their sharp points the tender
membrane in the crops of young eirds
and even pass through the skin. Inc
writer fed oats for years and never ex-
perienced any such mishap with his
poultry. 1t might be possible in case
half-starved birds were fed oats and
then watered. But oats should be
kept before the fowls all the time, and
they should be permitted to pick at
them at their leisure. They never
then eat too many. In addition to the
nutriment in the oats there seems to
be q stimulant which the scientists
call avoine. This is thought to be .
valuable part of the oat as feed.
