ket have a distinct advantage over the
farmers with regard to the amount
of information they possess. Mar
ket forecasts are more important to
the farmers of the United States than
weather forecasts. The government
should station price specialists in all
the large markets. 1t should have
specialists gathering information re-
garding the forthcoming supply of the
various classes of farm products
throughout the territory with which
American farmers compete. and II
should get the information to the far
mers with the same dispatch that the
weather reports are sent. This would
give information to the farmer at the
same time 1t Is secured by the buy
ers on the central market.
Value Of the Daily Paper.
Each morning the daily paper
should bring the farmer statement
of market prices OF the previous day.
on all the important markets. This
information. in the mind Of the farmer
who can readily learn the cost OF
transporting the product from his 10
cal station to the central market, puts
him in strong position when he has
occasion to deal with local buyer.
The farm paper should be looked
to for carefully prepared articles on
market conditions. crop supplies and
conditions. The agricultural paper
should give information which will
enable the farmer to know the signi.
ficance of the daily quotation. Those
papers giving special attention to crop
reporting are most valuable as an aid
In foretelling changes in prices.
Farmers operating on large scale
sometimes find 1t profitable to keep
In telegraphic or telephone connec

their products are sent For the ma
jority of farmers this Is too expensive
for general use. The cost to each far
mer can be reduced to very small
item, however, by cooperating to Sc
cure dispatches from the central mar
kets. This has proved practical In
the marketing of all kinds Of perish
able fruits and vegetables. The more
uncertain the market the more i'm

The marketing OF farm products has

this line. The farmer should make

ANER|CUS TO HELP
RUSSIAN LION TRAIN
FOR GOTCH MATCH
HackenSchmidt's Manager
Has Just Closed Deal
BY Telegraph.

BALTIMORE, Md, Aug. T.-Ameri-
Gus is to help prepare George Hacken-
schmidt for his match with Frank
GOtch on Labor Day in Chicago. Jack
Curley, manager for Hack, has been in
negotiation with Americus for several
weeks, and the deal was closed by
wire.
Hack counts on Amer1cus to help
give him the speed and cleverneS5
ncedful for success with Gotch. Kid
Cutler and Dr.. Roller will be in Hacks
camp for the weight and strength ends
of the proposition
In his letters to Americas Manager
Curley says that Hack is in splendid
condition, and II he is Americus be-
lieves he will throw Gotch. When they
met the last time Hack was in poor
physical condition. Hack and Curley
wanted Americus to spend this sum-
mer in Europe, where they guaranteed
him at least two important matches.
Americus could not accept this propo-
sition, as his parents spent the sum-
mer abroad and he was Compelled to
remain at home and look after his
fathers business as contractor and
builder.
During the summer lay-off Americus'
weight went up to over go pounds with
clothes on. He has been working over
at the gymnasium of the Baltimore
Athletic Club and is now down to 20S
stripDed. He believes he will get down
to 1876 as his best wrestling weight.

Defeat Of Postoffice Yester-
day Gives Clubmen Best
Of the Outlook.
PETWORTH TO CLASH
WITH ANDREWS TEAM
Tailenders In Section AA Will
Meet At Thirteenth And D
Streets Northeast.

Aloysius, District League champions
the team which has proved the surprise
SO far in the post-season series, will
meet sherwood this afternoon at Dis
trict League Park. The Clubmen de-
feated Postoffice yesterday in easy
fashion, and tied Cornell on Tuesday,
after having led all the way to the last
inning. Aloysius is the surprise of the
post-season series to date, and the
Blues are looked upon to be real con-
tenders for the title.
Sherwood, after a disastrous game
with Cornell yesterday. is expected to
come back strong. and with Noone on
the slab, the Sunday Schoolers believe
they will win. 1t is probable that Por-
ter, who twirled yesterday, will be seen
behind the bat today. Hummer and
Darlington will be in the points for the
Clubmen.
Petworth and Andrews, the tailenders
in section AA, will be seen in action at
Thirteenth and D streets northeast.
Each team has fallen before the Bank
ers, whom many claim will be contend
ers for the District League title, and
Andrews has also lost to Manhattan.
Petworth is coming back into its
stride, the players having gone almost
three weeks without a game previous to
this week, and the Soldiers Home boys
can be depended upon to put up
sterling exhibition. The batteries will
be Birch or lie Due and Jones for Pet
worth, and Chism and Rogers for An
