On the Indictment of George
B. Cox-King Can do no /,
Wrong.
BY United Preas Wire.

Ned York, Feb. Accommodating
upon the indictment OF George b.
Cox, Lincoln Steffens said;
why, this is inconceivable. this is
monstrous. The king can not be in
dicted, that would be lese majestic.
Cox is a king, he is a sovereign OF
power and sway. How Is 1t possible
that he would fall under the domina-
tion of mere courts and grand Juries.
I am sure this ridiculous procedure
can not go much further"
did you knaw, Mr.. Steffens, that
Cox has made remarks since his in
dictment which promises to get him
into trouble for contempt of court ?"
again you amaze me. Contempt
of court. Why. Mr.. Cox is entitled to
have contempt for courts. He has
been making courts and unmaking
courts for years. I can conceive a
court being brought to book for be-
ing in contempt OF Mr.. Cox, but that
Mr.. Cox's proper contempt for the
courts should cause him any annoy
ance or inconvenience, Is preposter-
Gus. Indeed. I simply can not be-
lieve any of this news from Cincin.
natl 1t Is beyoun credence."

Egg shows in Iowa have been about
as scarce as flying machines. The
possibilities of their coming have not
been talked of in glazing headlines by
the daily press. When they do ar
rive the excitement they will create
will be so small fraction of that al
ready aroused by the few fancy fights
we have read of, that 1t will be hardly
noticed. In the easy money they will
bring the farmers they will be as far
ahead as the flying machine will be
in excitement
Egg Shows Would Help Producers.
In 1905 there were 100000 dozen
eggs produced in Iowa. These were
sold for $11,O00,000. The average
price per dozen was approximately
1884 cents.
1t has been definitely determined
that IL per cent. of the eggs marketed
are lost because OF detrimental
changes. For Iowa this would mean
loss of over 13,5o0,o00 dozen eggs.
worth s1,S7O,OO0
The causes of the II per cent. loss
are as follows:
Audubon County journal. (Exira, Iowa) 1884-1993, 1911-07-06

There is not an item in the list
that may not be largely controlled by
the producer. Dirties are the result
of slack methods and dirty yards and
nests. Breakage comes from careless
packing Chick development and rots
come from failing to remove the male
bird after the breeding season,
coupled with the failure to keep the
eggs in temperature Of less than
SIS degrees F. Shrunken eggs result
from failure to market the eggs often
and the temptation to hold for a rise
in price. Moldy eggs are caused by
keeping the eggs in moist place.
Eggs. like milk, will absorb odors and
bad flavor results.
What is needed is education. 1t
takes familiarity with proper methods
of production, handling and market
ing to place perfect egg on the table
of the consumer Where can the gen
eral farmer get that information now?
Where could he get it better than at
properly conducted egg show?
Poor Eggs Bring Poor Prices and In

a well prepared egg of the best quail

than poor egg. 1t spoils the whole

and evaporation aimed? If it is in
hotel, the management is more or
less silently cussed If it is at home
the cook comes in for her share. and
possibly there are few mutterings
about cold storage. But that is not all
The person who gets taste of poor
egg does not care to have eggs for
breakfast again until he has had time
to forget his disappointment. In the
meantime the egg trade suffers. There
Is less demand for eggs and there is a
corresponding tendency to low prices
The orange growers of California
recognized this fact when they In
vited 40 representative growers from
Florida to come to California and
study proper marketing methods
They paid the travelling expenses of
these 40 growers because they said

Consumers Need Education.
People of wealth, east and west, are
in the habit of buying whatever suits
their fancy regardless of cost. In the
east premiums above the highest mar
ket price are paid for eggs that be-

Maryland Crops Ahead

The average condition of all crops
in Maryland October 1, according to
announcement made by the Depart
ment of Agriculture, was exactly 2 per
cent. better than the general everage
of all crops for the entire country.
The average for Maryland October 1st,
is given as S8.7; that for the whole

This shows considerable improvement
in Maryland crops as compared with
those of the country since july 1st,
when the average for Maryland was
SS.9, as compared with 1878 for the en-
tire country.
The condition of Maryland's corn
crop October 1st was IS per cent,
compared with S3 per cent. September
1st and 7S per cent. October 1st, 1910.
The 10-year average in Maryland was
Sc per cent, so that this year Mary
lands corn crop is only 1 per cent. be-
hind the decennial average. The
average condition of the corn crop of
the country October 1st was 70.4 per
cent. Hence Maryland was ahead of
the country's average by nearly 13 per
cent. The 10 year average for the
whole country was 1876, so that October
1st the country's corn crop was 80 per
cent. behind the general average.
The yield of Maryland oats in 1911 is
given as 27 bushels an acre, or 8 per
cent. less than last, but the quality is
given as SO per cent, compared with
90 per cent. in 1910 and sc per cent. as
the 1O-year average.
The Maryland sweet-potato crop was
more fortunate, its condition being 80 |
per cent. October 1st, which was per
cent. better than on the same date last |
September 1st, and only per cent. be-
low the 10-year average.
Maryland tobacco on October l show
ed up well. Its condition then 81 per
cent, which is per cent. better than
the 10-year everage, per cent. better
than last years crop the same date and
16 per cent. better than a month ago.
Maryland apples are also picking up
in condition. They are represented as
having been IS per cent on October 1st,
which is 8 per cent. better than
the 1O-year average. They are not,
however, as good as in 1910, when their
condition was 70 per cent, on October 1.
The grape crop of Maryland is also
reported in good shape. Its condition
October 1st was 7s per cent, compared
with 70 on the same date last year,
and was per cent. above the general
average and the same above September
1st.
