THE plan for a clearing house for
farmers has been proposed 10 the
legislators OF oklahoma BY Seth 7.
Farusworth Of Chicago as q plan
which he SAYS will make paving farm
property out Of every idle acre in the
state. A bill has been prepared out
lining the clearing house plan and
NAV be introduced in the Oklahoma
legislature. The fundamental prin-
ciple of the farmers clearing house
consists in organizing the farmers IN
a county; selecting a bank il this
county; which will receive assign
ments of all crops from these far
mers; it being agreed that no mem
ber of the organization will pur-
chase anything in the way OF snp-
plies except through this bank; the
bank as the fountain head of the en-
tire organization being custodian of
the associations funds, 50 that
should a lean year put in it appear
ance the farmer may borrow from
the funds of the association. The
bill 10 be introduced before the Okla
homa Legislature is to be called,
AN act for the promotion of agri-
culture, successful crops and the rap
id settlement OF the state 1t pro-
vides for four travelling supervisors
who are to advise the farmers and
direct them in the cultivation Of
their crops; also providing for $780,
900 TO be appropriated for in ra-
tions and supplies to be advanced
monthly to new farmers who from
failure Of crops or other reasons de-
sire to cooperate with the state in
the making Of crops. These supplies
are to be bought at wholesale and
sold at cost and the farmers charged
four per cent interest until the sup
plies are paid for. Where such sup
plies have been advanced, the advice
of the travelling Supervisors as to
crops shall be mandatory" The
federal authorities are to be request
ed to furnish experts TO get the plan
under practical way.

AS the springtime approaches the
peddler and the cheap auction man
will be around in all his glory. He
will tell YOU the smooth story about
bankrupt stock that must be sold.
But be not deceived. Remember
that your home dealer is here to
make every promise good, and that
he can always give you a better
stock to select from. 1t is charac-
teristic of the American people to
try to get something for nothing,
but the time when they can do this
has not come as yet Nor is it liable
to come this Summer. Our mer-
chants do not promise to give you
something for nothing, but can give
you as much for your money as any
where else, and are showing an i'm
mense lot of reliable goods.

THE meat packers, of the two in
dustries which made Chicago ta-
nous, are now far surpassed by the
mail order houses in the matter of
profits. The recent report of Sears,
Roebuck & Company showed net
profits for 1910 of SO 759.S76 on
gross sales Of SCI ,579,S3S, a margin
of profit amounting to nearly II
percent as compared with less than
3 percent made on sales by the
packers. The annual sales of the
Armour g. Swift concerns, however,
total four times as much as the mail
order houses, and it is not likely
that in that regard the packers will
lose their prestige.
The international Harvester Com
pany, western concern Morgan
ized," reported in 1910 practically
the same sales as Sears, Roebuck &
Company, but outclassed the mail
order house in the matter of mar
gins four to one-the same ratio IN
which the mail order house exceeded
the packers. The harvester trust
made net over $24 100000 on sales
of about $60,000,000 net in 1910,
or approximately 40 percent, This
is twice as great a margin as made
in the United States Steel Corpor-
alton. The comparisons as COM
piled from corporation tax reports
is as follows;
approximate sales, U, S. Steel,
$3.50, 900, 900, margin 20 percent.
Harvester, $60,000,000,40 percent
margin. Armour & Company, $3.50
100000, 2,33 percent. Swift &
Company, $3.50 600, 600, 8 percent
Sears, Roebuck & Co, SCI, ,579,-
S3S, Il percent margin.
The mail order concerns report,
however, compels attention, for not
withstanding the opposition from
the retail merchants, the sales have
continued to grow at a menacing
rate For 1910 the gain was
20.5 percent over 1909. The COM
mon stock, which is the water in the
reorganization a few years ago,
now is quoted at $lSS and earned
20.47 percent in 1910,

And you, as memories, voice a past
That's tense in call of pain and

This Is Locust Year.

This IS the year of the 17-year and
of the 13-year locusts. those ex-
pecttd in this territory being the 49,
wear race, which will cover the Miss
issippi valley, particularly its lower
hall. The famous 17-year brood
largely will play their shrill drums
in the eastern states. In 1898 a
very careful study of the 13-vear To-
Gust was made by l.. O. Howard,
chief of the L S. Bureau of Entomol-
ogy and also by entomologists Of
several states including Illinois,
Kentucky and Missouri.
In a report just issued by the Bu-
reau of Entomology, Mr.. Howard
says:
The periodical when it appears in
great numbers, naturally causes
considerable alarm and fear for the
safety of shade trees and orchards
The actual damage, however is usu-
ally Slight, except in the case of
newly planted orchards, and even
here, by vigorous pruning back after
the cicada has disappeared, much of
the injury caused by the punctures
can be obviated "
For anyone who has intended to
plant young trees this year, the fol-
lowing advice is given for protective
measures:
Ordinary sepellant substances,
such as kerosene emulsion or carbol-
ic acid solutions, seem to have very
little effect in preventing the ovi-po-
sition of these insects Some more
recent experience, however, indicates
that trees thoroughly sprayed with
Bordeaux mixture or lime wash are
apt to be avoided by the cicada, es-
pecially if there are other trees or
woods in the neighborhood on
which they can oviposit. The most
reliable means Of protecting nurser-
les and young orchards is by collect
ing the insects in bags or umbrellas
from early in the morning or late
evening, when they are somewhat
torpid. Such collections should be
undertaken at the first appearance
of the cicada and repeated each
dav."

By the almost unanimous support
of the Democrats, the Canadian re-
ciprocitv agreement was ratified in
the House of Representatives, A
majority OF the Republicans voted
against the measure while all but
i've democrats supported it. The
minority in congress thus gave to
the country a splendid exhibition of
patriotism and high minded states
manship and the republicans showed
a division of sentiment in which a
majority of the party members were
revealed as welded to their idols Of
special privilege.
