FARMS PROFITS !
SMASH RECORDS
Lower Production, but Prices
Paid Far Higher.
TOTAL IS S5,OOO,OOO, 900.

Corn Shortage Really blessing In Dis
guise" Owing to OversuppIy Of Last
Year, Says Orange Judd Bulletin.
Wheat and Cotton Crops Reach Un-
precedented Total In Value.
With total quantity of agricultural
products % per cent less than in 1912,
the years gross revenue for the farm
ers will be 6 per cent more than last
year, according to a bulletin Just is
sued by the Orange Judd company
Total value will be $1,000, 100000. or
$269, 100000 more than a year ago.
The reason for this extraordinary
condition is, of course, the high price
per unit for several Of the large cereal
crops Corn, for example, will show
total volume of 20 per cent under
that of 1912, but with q value AZ per
cent better will produce for the farm
ers $10O,000,000 more than year ago.
"The wealth the farmers will receive
for their decreased tonnage" says the
report, "also has these two decided ad-
vantages: Less labor and expense will
be required for harvesting and market
Ing the crops this year at time when
farm help is scarce and high.
Resumption of Good Times.
"Only the decrease of about 50,OOO,-
600 tons in the weight of these staples
will enable American railways to move
the crops of 1913 without q veritable
breakdown of the transportation sys-
TEN, In view of the heavy tonnage Of
other freight and of passenger traffic
caused by the resumption of good
times.
"The outcome of the agricultural
season, therefore, is profoundly bene-
ficial to industry, commerce and
finance, taking the country as whole,
although certain individuals and limit
ed sections have been hard hit by the
drouth.
'The shortage in new corn is not a
disaster. 1t is a blessing in disguise,
for with over 400,O00,0O0 of old corn
on hand Oct l the aggregate supply
Of maize this autumn will be some
2,750,000,000 bushels. This just about
equals the corn supply following the
harvest Of 1911, only two years ago,
when the yield was $3.50, 100000, and
the supply of old corn was then only
about one-fourth as large as now"
Wheat Breaks All Records.
The wheat output will be the great
est in quantity and value in the coun-
try's history, and the value for pota-
toes, 1924, 100000, $40,0O0,O0O more than
last year, breaks all records.
"Even more remarkable than the
foregoing is the present promise of the
cotton crop" continues the bulletin.
although nearly a million bales less
than last year, a decrease Of per cent,
its price of around IA cents per pound
to the planter will make the cotton
crop worth the unprecedented aggre-
gate Of nearly $950,00OOOO.
''In other words, cotton growers will
receive a total of around $125OOO,O0O
more than last year. or total increase
of % per cent. This will be the great
est amount ever paid to planters in the
history of the cotton industry"

One Way to Catch Fox.

If you are particularly anxious to do
little surreptitious fox catching try
the following. 1t is the sage of Lup-
ton who speaks in his Thousand No
table Things" "Anoint the soles of
your shoes with piece of fat swine's
flesh as broad as your hand, newly
toasted or a little broiled at the FIRE,
when you go out of the wood home
ward And in every of your steps cast
a piece of the liver of swine roasted
and dipped in honey. and draw after
your back the dead carcass of cat
Your fox cannot resist all this. but "be
sure to have man nigh thee with bow
and shafts to shoot at him, or by some
other means to hit him" Good fun this
for a country house party at loose
ends.-London Spectator.

CURIOUS BURIAL CUSTOM.
The Piseonhole Tombs In Use In tbs
Cemeteries Of Spain.

A rather curious and to our ideas
somewhat unpleasing custom obtains
In Spanish cemeteries. All around the
burying ground building Is erected
whose design can only be compared to
that OF nest OF pigeonholes, often
seen in postottices and similar institn-
tons. Each pigeonhole is a tomb.
When person dies his relatives hire
u pigeonhole for five years, and the 10
mains are placed inside. The end In
then sealed up with mortar and a me-
mortal tablet affixed on the outside.
The lease of the pigeonhole may De
renewed at the end of the FIVE years.
but II 1t is allowed to expire the tomb
is unsealed and the bones removed to
make way for another tenant.
Needless to say, the plan has some
good points. The space taken up by the
''pigeonhole cemetery" Is comparative
ly small as is also the cost of burial.
Picturesqueness Is, however, conspicu-
ously absent, nor is sentimental grief
catered for, as it would be impossible
to go and mourn at the grave Of a per-
son buried in a pigeOnhole so high w
that ladder was needed to reach 1t.
To such as prefer the old fashioned
graves the central space of ground IL
offered but the pigeonholes are the
most popular.-Wide World Magazine.

Ferdinand Holders picture "Das

especially in Switzerland, the home of
the artist.
The look of terror on the wOman's
face is lifelike. The story of how the
artist got the facial effects, depicting
fright and determination, Is as follows:
-Four models came to his studio to
sit for the picture. He asked them In
turn to wear an expression such as
they would have on jumping into a
lifeboat from a sinking ship in q storm.
Not satisfied with the results, he took
them up to the fat loaded roof OF his
house, which is Ave stories high, and
placed a chair on the extreme edge.
The poor models were dreadfully
frightened, and each in turn sat wide
eyed on the forward edge Of the chair.
too nervous to look in any direction but
straight forward.
The artist chose one of the women
and took up his easel and rapidly
sketched in the face and upper part OF
the figure, though not at all too rapidly
for the sitter.-Munich Cor. New York
