NO BANK DRAIN
Probability Of Heavy Drawals From
Eastern Bank Remote.

Washington, Aug 1s.-Reports from
the west and the middle west now
seem to indicate that the probabilities
of heavy drain on the eastern banks
to pay for the crop movement, which
will begin within the next few weeks
are reasonably remote.
Some time ago it was predicted that
the western banks, because Of heavy
loans. would have to draw more heav-
lily than usual on the eastern connec-
ttOns. Fears were expressed that be-
cause Of the large amounts of money
which had been diverted to the de-
velopment projects and investments in
unimproved lands in the west, the
movement of money from the east to
the west would be greater than usual
Those who have been watching the
situation and comparing their own OBJ
servations with reports from the
financial centers of the middle west
now think the crop movement situa-
tion is entirely normal. The prepara-
tions which have been made to meet
the movement supplemented by the
events of the last few weeks are said
to preclude any unusual situation.

the views of the administration,eit is
generally believed RepreseI "a
Nicholas Longworth of Ohio st
gave out statement i'll which he ga,
he will never support Speaker Cannon
again and that he does not believe
Mr.. Cannon ever can be reelected.
This is believed to be the actual be-
ginning of the real flight on Cannon.
1t had been regarded as a signifl-
cant fact that Longworth had been
called into all recent conferences of
a political character held by Presi-
dent Taft. Longworth was present
yesterday afternoon when the presi-
dent and vice president talked to-
gether.
It was reported then that a state
ment adverse to Cannon was being
prepared in quarters close to the ad-
ministration, and it was also intimat-
ed that Sherman, who. like Long
worth, had always been supporter Of
Cannon, has become reconciled to the
fact that Cannon must go.
There may be further significance
in the fact that Representative Long
worth is going to Oyster Bay on Sat-
urday to spend several days with his
father-in-law, Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt. The fact that he is going
to Oyster Bay is taken here to mean
that an understanding between Bever-
ly and Oyster Bay as to the recent
events in New York is to be reached.
Cannon Makes Statement.
Danville. Ills. Aug. 1s.-speaker
Cannon, when shown the dispatch
from Beverly regarding the statement
given out by Representative Nicholas
Longworth, said:
"Mr. Cannon declines to answer any
statement which Mr. Nicholas Long
worth may or may not have made un-
til he sees 1t. I do not answer any
statements which l believe to be
fakes that mischievous parties make.
1t is time enough for me to answer

HIGH or Low HEADED TREES?

= x Is
At the present time many orchard
lists believe that the nearer to the
ground they can head their trees the
better and thousands Of trees have
grown up like bushes without any
training at all, each shoot from near
the ground striving to become the
body of the tree.
The trees grown in this way will
come sooner into bearing and have
a greater bearing surface, but are
short lived and unsightly, are easily
broken down by the wind and weight
Of the fruit. In certain parts Of the
country where the trees are exposed
to droughts and hot winds would
advise Tow headed trees but as rule
I am in favor Of medium high train
ing. The branches after the tree
comes into bearing should protect the
trunk of the tree from the sun during
the summer.
The heading should be high enough
to secure a growth of branches at
nearly right angles with the trunk,
otherwise they will form what is term
ed NAL formed crotches, owing to the
natural tendency Of the branches to
an upright growth. Every tree should
have a central shaft and the BRAN
ches should be evenly distributed.
Care must be exercised in pruning
not to allow a side branch to get
ahead Of the center.

There is one particular point in
which the average farmer is contempt
tibly mean with his boy. He sets him
self up as a standard. II he didn't
want 80 and so why should his boy?
II he had to turn out of bed at
4 o'clock A. M. and work until dark
why should his boy be spared? He
did not have decent suit or fine
boots or any spending money, why
should his offspring go into such ex-
travagance?
The farmer who reasons that way
has a selfish motive Under 1t. He
knows as we'll as other people that
the boys Of today cannot be and are
not treated like the boys Of fifty years
ago.
He will admit that his father wore
d hickory shirt without collar to meet
ing. while he must have white one
we'll starched and adorned with collar
and neck tie, but he won't admit his
son has any right to improve on him.

somewhat finer in features and bone.
The sow that is quiet and docile IN
temperament proves gecd mother
and is careful with her litter. These
characteristics can to some extent be
judged before the SOW has been used.
The ideal SOW has 10 to 10 we'll de-
veloped, sound teats. Sows occasion
ally have blind" teats that are rarely
detected before narrowing. The num-
Der Of sound teats sometimes Is con-
sidered an indication OF proliticacy
in the sow
ProIifcacy is family character
istic and it is wise to select d pros
pective brood SOW from large litter
Of robust pigs The strongest pigs
Of a litter, most suitable for prospec-
tive sows, usually nurse fro-l the teats
nearest to the front of the udder.
The prospective SOW may therefore
be chosen before she is taken from
her dam. In selecting brood sows
tie highest possible standard Of ex-
cellence should be retained and all
others should be marketed for pork.
