REFUSE TO BUY
100000 CHICKENS
New York Retailers Accused
Of Graft Plot

New York, May 26. - New York .
scI1icken famine has reached an acute
|staee More than 100000 live fowls
N5re offered for sale by the receivers
at the, West Washington market. Not
q crate was sold.
Meantime more chicken trains have
rolled in from the south and west and
By tonight 100000 barnyard birds will
be in New York, all requiring food and
water.
1t is the greatest glut of live poul-
try in the history Of the business. The
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Animals issued statement assert
ing that behind the famine" and back
of the so-called handled chicken
crusade is a plot on the part OF the
slaughterers and retailers to graft
millions of dollars of unfair profits at
the expense of the consumers.
"The slaughterers and retailers, =
said the statement, want the shippers
to deliver live chickens here with
empty crops and in starving condi-
ton, for it would take from twenty-four
to forty-eight hours without food to
empty chickens crop. To meet that
demand would mean violation OF
section 1876 Of the penal code.
"Having gotten the live chickens
here in a starved condition. what the
slaughterers and storekeepers then
would do would be to stuff the fowls
with corn and then kill them with full
crops and then sell the chickens to
the customers at full price, charging
for the corn in the crop. That is the
whole game That is what is causing
the famine"
The S. P. G. A. estimates that the
slaughteres and retailers can stuff two
to four ounces of corn at three cents
a pound into each chicken, and then
charge for the corn at 16 cents or
more pound The extra profit would
average two to four cents per fowl, or
100000 to 100000 year, based on
an estimated consumption of 100000
live fowl.

NOW FACE REAL

Senate Committee Hoped to Finish

Washington, May 26.-The tariff sit,
uation will reach an interesting period
during the week, when the senate
finance subcommittee get down to
the actual work of writing the Under

When the private hearings close to
morrow the three subcommittee,
headed by Senators Stone, Williams
and Johnson, will lock themselves up

through the mass of material procured
in the private hearings and through
briefs filed with them by protesting

Although Senator Simmons, chair
man of the finance committee, had
hoped the work of revising the sched-

there is little prospect of it, and the
bill probably will not be ready for the
Democratic caucus until next week.

In support of these amendments the
government officials have filed with
the senate subcommittee a brief on
the subject, in which it is maintained
that $1,300,000 is not an unreasonable
estimate of an annual saving that
might be effected as result of their
adoption. 1t is pointed out that the

will undoubtedly be saved. 1t is i'm

call it one-tenth or 100000. Total
saving for the year, $1,300.000."
The brief further sets forth in de
tail that the amount of refunds at the
port of New York alone, due to litiga
tion over customs, aggregated for 1905
to April 80, 1913, inclusive, $5,997 900.

THE BANKS
Of CANADA

The closing OF the year 1912 has
rought out the usual bank statements
accompanied by the addresses of the
Presidents and General Managers of
these institutions. Their reading is
interesting as they show in a striking
manner the prosperity of the country,
and deal with economic matters in a
first hand way. Those who know any.
thing of Canadian banking methods
know the stability of these institu-
tons, and the high character OF the
men who are placed in charge. In
discussing the land situation the Pres,
ident of the Union Bank OF Canada,
whose branches are to be found in all
parts of the Canadian West, said
"A good deal has been said about
speculation in land. The increase in
land values has added enormously to
the assets of Western business, and
has to some extent formed basis for
extended credit, but this is not felt to
be drawback when the value is real
and convertible. We consider that a
business standing which is strength
ened and enhanced by property hold
ings is entitled to a reasonable en-
largement of credit for legitimate bust
ness operations"
It will thus be seen that the banks
recognize the certain rise in the value
of farm lands in Western Canada.
When the facts are known of the won
derful producing qualities of farm
lands in the Provinces of Manitoba,
Saskatchewan and Alberta, 1t is sim
pie to understand the liberal stand
taken by the banks.
Living not far from Lashburn. Sask.,
is 8 farmer named Clarke who in 1912
secured crop of Marquis Wheat,
yielding rs bushels per acre. This
is spoken of as a record yield, and this
is doubtless true, but several cases
have been brought to notice where
yields almost as large have been pro.
duced, and in different parts Of the
country. During the past year there
have been reported many yields Of
from 35 to As bushels of wheat to the
acre. Oats, too, were success
full crop, and SO was the barley
crop. Wheat that would yield 40
bushels per acre, would bring on the
market zoe Ga fair figure) per bushel,
a gross return OF $500 per acre. Al
low $1,000 per acre Can outside figure)
there would be balance of $1,000 per
acre net profit. This figure should
satisfy anyone having land that cost
less than $4,000 per acre. Very much
less return than this proves satisfac-
tory to those holding lands in Iowa
and Illinois worth from $3.50 to $500
per acre.
The latest Government returns give
an approximate estimate OF four hum
bred thousand of an immigration to
Canada during 1912. OF this number
zoe, 900 will be from the United States.
Most Of these are OF the farming class
and 1t is not difficult to understand
why farming lands in Canada will adj
vance from ten to twenty per cent.
within the next twelve months. There
fore investment in Western Canadian
lands is not looked upon as being in
the speculative class. Those fortunate
enough to secure free homesteads in
Canada will acquire in the intrinsic
value OF the land alone the best pos
sible start for a splendid future. Ad-
vertisement.
