HOP PROSPECT IS ENCOURAGING.
European Crop Outlook Not So Good Now

European Crop Outlook Not So Good Now.
Isaac Pincus & Sons, Puyallup hop
dealers, received a cable from their
German representative at Muren-
berg, Germany, this week, which
says:
Prospects for hop receipts are
not as good as when last reported.
The crop seems to have been over
estimated. Market is better" )"
This is regarded by the growers
and dealers as highly encouraging.
The large crop of Oregon promises
to be decreased by mold, which may
ruin the hop before it can be picked,
and may bring the price back to its
normal standing. Speaking OF the
hop situation Harry Pincus said
that every outlook for higher price
was improved.
1t had been feared that the hop in
dustry has been gradually dying out
in Washington during the past few
years. Where formerly ten acres
were cultivated, now only one is
found. An exceptionally good year
with high prices promises to bring
back the old number of growers.
Local dealers state they have all they
can handle at the present price.

SHRINKAGE IN CORN.
About Twenty Per Cent. Loss If Kept a
Year

Although we do not live in Il
corn" country. the Investigations
lately made by the Iowa Experiment
Station will be of general interest.
They show that the usual differ
cnce to two pounds between Il
blShel of corn in autumn and mid
winter does not represent its ac-
tual shrinkage. An experiment was
conducted to determine the amount
of shrinkage in corn under ordinary
conditions. a small crib holding
about 100 bushels was built on truck
wagon. This was filled with corn
during the husking season and care
full weights were then taken at fire.
quent intervals.
October oath it weighed 6,016
pounds, and by hauling this crib on
the scales every few days some in
teresting results were obtained. The
greatest shrinkage was during the
first two days after husking, when
the decline in weight amounted to 81
pounds, or approximately one pound
per bushel. Thereafter for the next
week the shrinkage was from six to
"a pounds per day on the entire crib
during November, while it declined
132 pounds in December. The total
shrinkage from October oath to Janu-
AIRY 1st was practically II per cent.
Four different varieties of corn
were huSkcd and weighed on October
25th, and weighed again each month
for nine successive months. All the
varieties tested shrunk about seven
pounds to the hundred during the
first month. From that time forward
the shrinkage averaged trifle less
than two pounds per month to the
hundred weight of corn, and at the
end of nine months from the time the
corn was husked the total loss in
weight averaged from % to 22.7 per
cent.
From this one can calculate that
for every hundred weight of corn put
into the crib in autumn there will be
about 80 pounds to come out if it is
left there until the following July.

RURAL TELEPHONES.
They Arc Rapidly Becoming an Indispens-
able Boon to the Farmer.

They Are Rapidly Becomine an lndispens-
able Boon to the Farmer.
Verify, we live in an age of prog
ress, on the farm as we'll as in the
city. After trial the farmer would
as soon try to do without the rural
free mail delivery as to try to get
along without telephones. There has
been a wonderful expansion in rural
telephone service in the past decade
by individual and company lines. In
fact, the farming districts have been
revolutionized by the general adop-
ton of telephone service. They pos
sess great utility as time and money
savers.
The decreased cost of construction
and the very small charge for service
have brought the telephone into gen
eral use in rural communities. Town
and county companies are organized
for the construction of telephone
lines which rent telephones to sub
scribers of stock at $l2 to $15 per an
mum. At these prices the lines not
only pay all operating expenses, but
also good dividend on the stock.
The farmer with a telephone can
in few seconds place himself in
touch with the market and know
what to ask dealer for his stock.
The wide fluctuations of the market
are known and the farmer is prepared
to make an intelligent..sale. The ad'
vantage of immediate communication
with the markets often saves the
farmer many times the yearly cost OF
service. The telephone saves loss o1
time and many needless trips to town
as nearly all business can be dont
over the telephone. The farmer who
breaks his machinery can order his
repairs from a dealer Immediately.
If an accident occurs on the farm
the farmer can summon the doctor
before he would have time to walk t.
the stable. 1t improves the socia
functions of a community and places
the farmer in quick communication
with all the business firms in thu
country. In case of fire or burglary
the community can be notified lin
mediately. 1t helps to keep young
people on the farm and brightens th'
home. The telephone is not an ex
pensive but a paying investment il
any rural community when all its al
vantages are considered.

Sayinfs from the Talmud.

The act of 4 foolish man can never

1t is easy to lead a man on the way
which he desires to 60.
He who destroys the reputation of
his fellow is a murderer.
The soldiers do the fighting and the
kings are gloritied Us heroes.
God looks first into the heart of
man and then into his mind.

Devotion with little prayer is better
than much prayer without devotion.

White in Hot Weather.

There is nothing SO cool as white
dress. In the old days when our
grand-mothers favored white gowns
they had white stockings, as also
with their lowered delaine gowns,
but these we ignore. We have come
back to their white duck skirts, but
even with these we wisely prefer the
champagne tinted shoes and stock
ings to the pure white, for there is
nothing so unbccoming to the foot rs
4 white shoe. Black and white is
cool of aspect and SO are the light
fashionable blues. Wise people in
the hot months of summer invariably
adopt white gowns. realizing they
are as cool as anything else. Look
ing cool makes one feel cooler.
