Prices Insure Farmers Profits
FROM NORTHWEST FARMsTEADs

Business is good and industry hum
ming throughout the world with the
single exception of the United States.
Yet natural conditions are much
the same in Europe as in America.
The midsummer drouth in Eng
land and throughout that portion OF
Europe north of Italy, has been rels
lively more severe than in the United
States.
Germany France and England are
parched, brown and withered far
more generally than is the case in
this country
Crop shortage in Other Lands
The early harvested grains in Eu-
rope and England made a fair yield,
but there is an awful shortage in all
minor crops, fruits and vegetables
There will be a consequent decline
in the supply Of beef, pork and NUT
ton raised in Europe and Great
Britain.
Russia will probably have less
wheat than was expected.
The monsoon, or rain laden winds,
are coming too late to save grain
and other crops over large areas in
india.
Thus far the planting and growing
season in the Argentine has been bet
ter than during the drouthy season
OF last year and previously.
Hot Weather Around the World
" Meanwhile the great heat that did
80 much damage in the United States
during early July, spread around the
ksobe.. Temperatures of 100 degrees
Fahrenheit have caused relatively
more suffering and loss In the Brit
ish Isles and on the Continent thar
n America.
Many sections over there are as
badly burnt up as the worst stricken
spots here,
Fine rains late in July and early
August have helped crop prospects
over much of the United States
Higher Prices for Farm Products
The foregoing conditions, together
with increasing population at home
and abroad, and continued gold pro-
duction, insure good prices fol
everything our American farmers
have to sell
But other commodity prices are
slightly lower, and evidently are not
to advance. The farmer won't have
to pay so much for farm and farm
Ing supplies.
Therefore, i, looks as though
American farmers, taking the coun-
try as whole, would receive fully
as great a total value for their abors
and crops of 1911 as was the case
during the recent years of large pros
perity.
The Canadian grain crop is not
over-large, and can hardly prevent
tlne full range of prices which world
wide conditions warrant.
Care in Marketing
With reasonable care upon the
part Of producers not to glut the
live stock market with cattle, sheer
and hogs during the autumn months
their values will be well maintained
{ There is no valid ground what
ever for expecting materially lower
prices for live or dead meats. Those
who predict the same are deceivins
thense and the public Such
predictions may foster awful injury
to our vast agricultural interests, un-
less stockmen and farmers and deal
ers fully realize the real truth of the
situation

The Real Awkward Ace.


Who nowadays has a kind word for
the middle-aged man? In Chicago they
have just organized a league to war
against the cruel practice which makes
it difficult for the man of forty-five to
secure employment. Such q standard.
If generally applied, would be enough to
condemn any economic system which
made 1t necessary. And Yet there is
here negative recognition at least of tho
fact that the man of middle age does
exist No such hint meets us in tho
general run of daily news. in science.
in literature, or on the stage. In the
famous controversy precipitated by Prof.
Osler 1t was the armies of the young
and the old that engaged in fierce COM
bat. DR.. Osler having said that the
world would be just where ii is TO-DAY If

Fighting Locusts With Bacteria.
From Hsrper's Weekly.


In South Africa the locusts or frasshop-
pers have been destroying crops and grass
to a greater extent than usual ring the
last few years. The International bureau,
maintained by the French, the English
and the Portuguese, that has been collect
ing informal .on concerning the cXtermina-
ton Of insect pests, has been unable TO
offer the farmer anything better than the
standard arsenic and sugar spray. This
method is very dangerous well as very
expensive. Still, it has been used in spite
of many drawbao ks, and il has been call
culated that for every dollar spent last
year in applying this spray there was
saving of $1O0 in crops.
One method OF fighting insects that has
developed in recent years has been that
of finding some enemy OF the insect and
encouraging il TO destroy the pest 1t was
on this principle that the lady bug was
encouraged for the protection of trees

for discriminating the pest are increase
Such a parasite for the 10 ust has been

certain bacteria of the coccus group,
which produce a fatal disease among the

You gain an impression of weight and

he attracted big bunch of children to

was raised on a derrick to the top of the
chimney so that he might slide through it.
The alderman got his two legs into the
chimney, but he was unable thereafter
TO proceed unaided either up or down.
The theory is that his embonpoint
stopped further progress. Be that as
IT may. 1t was not until five men with
block and tackle got busy that Dotzler
was able TO deprive the chimney OF it's
human contents.
Then the alderman was loaded into a
pushcart He sat upon a chair. ON
his back We're two great sacks, heaped
with presents for the children in the
district. Philip Fecher pushed the push
cart. Behind them sagged the following
members OF the Fat Mems Club: Martin
Mack. 2eu pounds: Jack Probst 2o
pounds and Jack Gossman, a sylph OF
20 pounds.
They paraded through the neigh borhood,
trailed by 1000 children who became
legatees of Kris Kringie Dotzlers for
tune IN gifts. The little boys and girls
cheered the alderman at every step
Dotzler's tour of the district took him
until 10 O'Clock last night, by which hour
he had distributed several hundred dol
lars worth of toys.

What Colors Mean on Maps.
From Harper's.


The use Of color on maps has now
been reduced by the best mapmakers to
a logical system Not very long ago
We saw on our own maps of the United
States each state differentiated from
those around it by a covering of color
A tint along the boundary would have
answered every purpose and left oppor-
tunity to use colorS throughout the sheet
as part of the scheme of symbols Many
map colorS are now copied directly from
nature, and often those selected are par
ticularly appropriate, as, for example
the common use of blues for rainfall
maps, the deepening blues of the sea as
depths increase, the deepening Bluffs and
browns as the heights Of the land aug
ment, the yellow tints for arid and
sandy regions, and greens largely used
on maps dealing with plant geography.
The mapmakers OF the leading nations
are approaching one another more and
more nearly in their use OF map colors:
and for public convenience IL is hoped
that some day We shall see uniform
system Of colors in all map symbolism.
Such questions as these are sometimes
settled by scientific bodies, as was the
case when the geological congress at
Bologna, in 1881, selected the colors to
be applied to the international geological
map Of Europe.
