Results have been obtained through the
enterprise and business acumen of the men
who make up the Omaha Grain exchange
The market has been from the start active
and open. There has been a buying interest
from the very start that has taken every
bushel of grain offered no matter how
large the quantity, and has paid for It
such prices as attracted further business

Omaha has been gradually improved until

This growth and development has been
based upon Nebraska and Iowa grain only
A large field in these two states still re-
mains unopened and 1t remains for Omaha
dealers to reap the benefit of this new
business II only transportation rates can
be adjusted upon a proper basis. Even
under present conditions the Omaha market
last year outstripped every other market
in the country except Chicago in receipts
of corn, was fourth in receipts of oats and
fifth in receipts of wheat, and all this
accomplished in less than seven years.
Milling Interests.
1t was not supposed by the people who
organized the Omaha exchange that the
receipts of wheat at Omaha would increase
as rapidly as those of other kinds Of grain,
but in 1908 Omaha received 100000 bushels
of that cereal, and the increase year after
year of these receipts Iecessarily came to
the attention of the flour millers, and, as
a result, two splendid mills are now in
operation in Omaha, the Updike mill and
the Nancy mill. The success of these two
enterprises has been marked from the start
and there is no question that the flour mill
ing capacity of Omaha will grow as rapidly.
relatively as its elevator capacity has
grown and as its receipts of wheat have
grown. And the presence Of manufactur-
ing Industries to convert the grain into
finished product means that the grain
market may now be regarded as settled
upon a solid foundation and that the
dreams Of the founders of the Omaha
Grain exchange have been fully realized

The ROOF is covered with asbestos
roofing felt, making the entire barn
practically fire proof. The cost to
build this barn was slightly more than
# built of wood, but as it requires no
paint and few repairs it would seem
that in the long run cement was the
most economical building material for
the farm.
Kindness and cleanliness are the
watchWOrd in this barn, and every
thing in reason is done to this end.
The arrangement is such that the
work Of caring for and feeding the
stock has been reduced to the mini-
mum. and one man can feed the entire
barn in a very short time.

THE COST or LIVING.
The Farmers Of the South Should
Raise More Hog and Hominy and
Then Keep the Money They Receive
for Cotton at Home.

According to Colonel L. F. Living
ston the increase in the cost Of liv-
ing is attributable to three or four well
defined and easily explained causes:
First, the trend away from the
farm.
Second, the increase OF population
in the cities and the congestion in the
big centers of ignorant and untraln-
ed foreign immigrants.
Third. the all-cotton cropping sys-
tenn on Southern farms.
The last reason he shows is one
which should be taken particularly to
heart by Southerners, IN eleven OF
the Southern States, he says. there IS
an production Of cotton and an
Under-prod uction of crops to feed the
family. Even those wise farmers who
raise enough coed crops for their own
consumption, do not always raise q
surplus to sell to their workers in the
mills and shops of the cities.
If the farmers of the South would
raise more grain, more meat and less
cotton, they would be better off. and
the dweller in the city would be bet
ter fed.

What Every Fearmer Can Do.
(CharlOtte Chronicle. }

(Charlotte ChrOnicle.)
The Durham Herald says, with
pointed truth. that "all farmers in
North Carolina cannot raise 200 or 500
bushels of corn to the acre, but if
Cne can do this, the average farmer
should be able to raise more than IL
or Is bushels to the acre" And along
the same line, the Greenville Reflect
or says: eff every farmer in Pitt
county will endeavor to make two
bushels of corn this year where he
made one last year, there will be
plenty of full bins when next harvest
time comes" If that man is a bene
factor to humanity who makes two
blades OF grass grow where before
only one grew, how much greater ben
efactor is he who makes two ears OF
corn grow where only one was pro-
duced before. To do this should be
the aim Of every farmer in the South.
and until such does become his aim
this section will be dependent on the
farmers Of other States.

Art of Papernakina.

Tn the matter of making and using paper we are not in line with the Chi nese and other Asiatics, who not only make the finest paper in the world, but apply it to all sorts of uses, making window panes, fans, umbrellas, san dals and even cIoaks and other gar ments of it. The art of making paper from mulberry bast is said to have been invented in China in the sec oIld century B. c. Afterward bamboo shoots. straw, grass and other materf- aIs were also used. The manufacture spread to the adjacent countries. The Arabs learned it in Samerkand, and their learned men carefully kept se- cret the process by which they made paper for their own use. The crusades made Europe acquainted with the art, and the first paper mill in Germany dates from the twelfth century.
