A Bio Shortage in Seeds.

From almost all sections comes the re-
port of frightful shortages in seed corns;
also in some varieties of seed barley,
oats, rye, wheat, flax, Clovers and the
early varieties of potatoes.
This is particularly noticeable in the
great corn and oat and potato growing
states.
Thus: The great states of Nebraska and
Iowa are suffering from a dearth of seed
corn as never before.
The wide-awakc farmers in these and
other states are placing their orders early
for above seeds in order to be on the safe
side. and we can but urge farmers to
write at once to the John a. SalZcr Seed
Co, Box lS2, La Crosse, Wis, for their
farm seed and corn catalogue.
The magnitude of the business of this
long established firm can be somewhat
estimated when one knows that in ordi-
harry years they sell:
5O.OOO bushels of elegant seed corn.
100000 bushels of seed potatoes.
100000 bushels of seed oats.
10000 bushels Of seed wheat
100000 bushels of pure clover and timo-
thy seeds together with an endless
amount of other farm seeds and vege-
table seeds such as onions, Cabbagcs, ear
rots, peas, beans, lettuce, radishes, toma-
toes. etc.
There is one thing about the Salzer firm
they never disappoint. They always fill
your order on account of the enormous
stocks they carry.

Will Strike If Soft Coal
Pits Close.

Cincinnati, O.-Owners of coal
mines in Ohio and Pennsylvania
admitted here that prospects for a
settlement of differences with the
soft coal miners were less encourag-
ing than for some time. For the first
time since the wage dispute arose
hope of friendly settlement seemed
remote.
Operators also asserted that they
had received word that, if strike of
the miners of bituminous coal was
called, a walk out by anthracite min
eps would follow. On this subject,
labor leaders were silent, but the
news was openly discussed by the
mine owners. Three hundred thou
sand soft coal miners would be af-
fected by a general strike. About
100000 anthracite miners would re-
spond, it is said, should sympa-
thetic strike be determined upon.

ADVICE GIVEN THE FARMERS
Agricultural Experts Show Import

Change In Schools Urged.

Cleveland, O.-Tillers Of the soil

county and surrounding districts
mingled with the so-Called "gentl[ men
farmers" who conduct big estates Cor
the pleasure it affords them in paying
homage to Mother Earth and the
sciences used in extracting her boun-
ties at a mass meeting in the Cham
Der of Commerce Assembly hall here
under the auspices of the Ohio state
board of agriculture.
They listened with equal interest
as men skilled in farming told of the
improved methods which are coming
into vogue and to Willet NJ. Hayes,
assistant secretary of agriculture, as
he told of a mighty revolution which
is going on in the rural schools Of
the country and of greater one
which is to follow.
The principal address of the even
ing was delivered by Mr. Hayes,
whose chief theme was the develop
ment of rural schools and the general
improvement of farm life.
Secretary Hayes outlined a scheme
for reyolutionizing the country
schools, which, while he admitted it
to be somewhat idealistiC, was more
or less sure of success. He recon-
mended, instead of the single little
district school, the traditional little
red school house-that they be com
bined so that one school might fur.

which would be devoted to gardens

and trees, while the remainder woult
be devoted to little fields in which ex
periments might be tried with grains
Continuing, Mr.. Hayes would have ter
high schools throughout Ohio which
pupils could attend when graduated
from the smaller institutions. More
elaborate instruction along the same
practical lines would be given, bu
the principle would not be forgotten
that the great bulk of the students
should be trained to remain in thu
country and continue to be farmers.

rights of non-members or of other es-

The chief problem that the Utah
stock grower has had to meet is that
of providing summer range for his
stock. OF winter range Utah has an
abundance, the large deserts alone be-
ing enough to support the sheep of the
state in a normal winter. In addition,
Utah is thickly dotted with pros
porous farming communities where
the quantities of forage produced are
oftener in excess of the demand than
otherwise, and where in many cases
the feeding of live stock affords the
only means of disposal. This condi-
ton created keen demand for spring
and summer ranges, demand compli-
Gated by the strong competition be-
tween the stockowner who winter
grazed his stock at points remote from
the summer range, and the owner who
winter fed his stock upon the
products of his ranch adjacent to the
! summer grazing lands. The result was
not hard to forecast. Ranges became
poorer and less productive each year,
stock deteriorated in weight and quail
| ity, and losses were heavier. This
was the condition that existed when
the national forests were placed under
the present system of grazing control.
The forests occupying, as they do, the
higher and more mountainous por-
tions of the state, exert a considerable
influence upon the summer range prob
lem, for within their borders a con-
siderable percentage of the summer
range is located.
Few outside of the interested stock
growers are aware of what has been
accomplished by reasonable regulation
and control within very few years.
The dwellers in certain towns. and
the ranchers in certain communities
know that the watersheds upon which
they are dependent have been protect.
ed by the proper regulation of gra
zing. The stockmen know that the
numbers of stock allowed have been
reduced to the actual carrying ca
pacity of the range but not below 1t;
that the ranges have been equitably
divided between the different classes
of stock, and the owners; that the
small rancher remote frorl market
centers who must dispose OF his crop
and gain his livelihood by raising and
feeding cattle is provided with range
adequate to his needs; while at the
same time full consideration is given
to prior use of the range Ey the stock
growers who winter their stock on the
deserts.
