PRICE OF ZINC Is CLIMBING.
Now Selling. at $5.12 and Demand Is
Increasing Rapidly.

lola, Kan, June lone of Iola's
chief products, which has been sorely
depressed since the panic struck the
country nearly two years ago, is again
started upward and an increasing de-
mand is being shown. This is due
largely to the opening of the steel
works throughout the country and the
reopening of business.
In the past ten days spelter has risen
in the st. Louis market from $4.95 to
5.12 " and there is every reason for be-
lieving that it will go still higher. The
average price of spelter for the past
ten years has been $3.50 in St. Louis.
When it reaches that point it is likely
that every block in the country will be
in operation.

A new bank is just being organized
In Chanute to take the place of the
Citizens State.
The capital STOCK of 1886, 900 was all
taken in day and $l75s surplus,
There was no trouble TO raise the
money. The only trouble was to
limit the Investors.
Mr.. Pleas Hurt, the organizer states
that 500 900 capital could have been
raised almost without an effort,
1t was thought best, however, to
organize with smaller capital and
then increase as occasion demands.
We predict that this bank will be a
success from the start.
The we'll known character and
financial standing of the organizers
is a guarantee 10 the people that
any business intrusted to them Will
be carefully and colservatiYely Loo ed
after.
The name will be The Neosho Valley
State Bank and the business will be
condusted in the Bailey bank build
ing at the corner of Main and High
land.

Market Report.
Kansas City. Mo-,

The run or cattle last week was
"a, 600 head, practically the same as
in recent weeks. but prices were much
more satisfactory than heretofore,
steers closing % to IS cents higher,
COWS and heifers 10 to 25 cents higher,
aad stockers and feeders up 10 to ID
cents. The advance was due TO the
continued light supply, and to some
lmprovementi In the outlet for beef.
The run today is $4,000 cattle here,
and fairly liberal elsewhere, but not
excessive at any point. The good ad-
vance over a week ago, higher priced
cora in he country, and the iofuenee
that assessment date, March 1st, al
ways has toward getting rid of hold
iHgs, all pointed to heavy run today.
On the other hand, commission men
have been advising light shipments.
saying that the market has a weak
undertone, and will not stand any

vance In last week. Bulk of steers

The hog run last week was only

roads In the country, as the market
was satisfactory most of the week.
The close was lower on Saturday, aud
only 10 cents above close OF previous

and indications favor good "un this

same as wheat shorts, the only diff
erence being that the linseed meal
comes from fax while shorts come
from wheat. II we understand the
measure correctly, shorts is not in-
spected and there Is no inspection
tax to pay, bat If anyone discovers
what he believes to be adulterated
shorts he may send 1t to the
state chemist, whose findings are
evidence in any court. The same
plan should apply to linseed oil meal.
10 other words, there is no need OF
inspection unless there ia reason to
believe there is adulteration.
The consumer is the man who pays
for every additional charge for man
ufactnrlng any product. Ia the case
OF liuseed meal, iG is the feeder of 1t
who pays the 20 cents ton inspec-
ten tax. That isn't much per sack,
of course, but In the aggregate, f9ur-
ing on the basis of the output OF a
mill, 1t is considerable. All this Is
set down az cost of manufacture and
it represents what the people pay,
in excess OF what should be necessary,
to secure that output.
The farmer, both as a consumer and
a producer, is between two fires. Ii
anything is added to the cost OF that
which he consumes, he must pay 1t
With out a kick that gives him any
relief, except In the satisfaction OBJ
tained In kicking, while, when he
sells that which he produces, the
other fellow tells him what hs'llgive.
1t may have cost the farmer 26 cents
a bushel extra this year to produce
wheat ever last years cost, but the
farmer cannot add that to the product
as does the manufacturer. Here Is
where we claim the farmer gets
scorched. Hes between two fires.

place and a lot of heaters are sent
around to drive the half tanned game

JayhaWker Farm DOin'S.

Were IT not for the high price Of
seed, still greater acreage of oats
would be probable. Seed oats are
costing 65 cents bushel, 1t may be-
mentioned in passing too, that they
call all oats "seed oats" at this season
Of the year.
Last fall our neighbors sold their
fax crop for from 95 cents to 81 O5 a
bushel. Local dealers are charging
SLIGO for the seed this apring. The
man who raises fax should always
save his own seed, as that the dealers
sell is only home grown quality; IN
fact, the very seed they bought # the
farmers last threshing time.
One of our folks wants to know
what size of grain drill to buy for
ordinary eastern Kansas farm use.
We would prefer the 1O-disc size, each
disc inches apart. This SIZE takes
exactly two rows when drilling In
land that was In corn the year before,
and Is size easily handled by four
horses. 1t is quite an advantage,
sometimes, to be able to cover the
width of rows exactly.
Again let us repeat, why do not
those who use walking plows put on
chain to drag the trash under the
furrow? It's easily done, requires no
attention and makes no extra draft,
while everything is buried nearly as
well as behind a sulkey that has both
rolling coulter aud weed hook.
One of the newest things OF this
season Is harrow TO follow the sulky
pillow, completing the operation of
one narrowing along with the JOB oil
blowing. An extra horse furnishes
the motive power, There are times
when this would be of advantage, as
when one is blowing late and drying
wind ticks up all surface moisture i
the harrow does not follow the pillow
at once. Frequently, when plowiDg
Just before planting, we stop every
noon in time to harrow all that was
plowed that forenoon, and the same
at night.
We do not believe in narrowing
early blowing as soon as it Is done, at
least here In eastern Kansas. If the
soil is heavy clay, the rains that are
sure to come before planting run the
soil solidly together, and If the soil is
of lighter nature the wind shifts it
about more for being narrowed
