Breaking over onion tops to increase their size belongs in about the same category as planting taters in the full Of the moon. Giving an onion patch this dose might cause the tops to dry up q little sooner. but would reduce the size of the onion in just the same way smashing potato vines would mean smaller tubers.

The worst phase of this levying an excessive duty on agricultural prod ucts, cereals especially, is the fact that three-fourths of the crop is out of the hands of the farmer before seri. ous attempts are made by spectators to boost prices to an excessive point The result of this program is that the spectators are the chief beneficiaries the consuming public having to go down into their jeans to dig up the price.

The Pan-American and Autumn are two varieties of ever bearing straw berries that are raised by a number of plant fanciers. These varieties come into bearing at about the usual berry season and from then until freezeup produce blossoms and berries. While this bearing habit is an interesting one, it is questionable if it is of par ticular advantage from the commercial point of view.

In going into a new country it is well for the home seeker to learn from reliable sources-the government re- ports-the rainfall of the new section covering a period of twenty-five or thirty years. Having done this, he should then plan so as to be able to carry on his operations on the basis of the shortest rainfall recorded. This will be playing safe, and should more rain fall he will be just so much to the good and uniformly pleased rath- CT than counting on an average or q more than average rainfall to be half the time bitterly disappointed and pos sibly left in financial straits.

Considering the fact that the long look ahead seems to indicate that a conservation of the countrys agricul- tural resources is the most important material consideration which confronts the present and future generations, 1t would seem a farsighted policy to put all commercial fertilizers on the free list. This will not only tend to dis courage the shipment of nitrates and phosphates to other countries, but to increase the importation of these prod ucts into this country. and if this trade assumed large proportions 1t would hardly more than offset the exporta- tion of fertilizing elements in the shape of cereals, cereal products and live stock. The same rule holds with the country as 1t does with any indi- vidual farm in this matter of maintain ing fertility resources.

Among sheep raisers there is inclin- ed to be some debating of the question whether it is better to market early lambs wool off or wool on. To settle this polnt to his own satisfaction one feeder near Chicago who was fitting a bunch of western lambs for market sheared one-half the number and at the end of a week sold them all. Sheared and unsheared averaged sey- enty-fiye pounds, the sheared gaining within the week enough to make up for the loss of six pounds of wool. The shorn bunch brought $6.90 and the wooded S7.50. AS the wool sold for % cents, the feeder figured out a profit of about So cents a head more on the sheared than on the unsheared lambs.

slightly damaged, and the propeller was
smashed. Farman expects to make re-

contests tomorrow.

field operations in Africa to which the
government is now committed by the de-
patch of achievements to General Ma

complicated by the possibility Of regu-

While the cortes is closed it becomes the

the influence of which is growing, now
insists that the military efforts and sac
