The Strawpile
wh.r. Doe. tn. Blame Lie?
IDrovers' Journal.l


Butchers are buying beef carcasses
at lower rates than were paid by
them previously this year, but the
consumer is getting scant benefit in
the way of reduced cost at retail.
The difference between current cost
to the butcher and a lesser charge he
paid a few weeks back represents so
much more added profit for him. 1t is
a condition against which the con-
sumer is justly aroused, but protest
avails nothing. The butcher. in his
autocratic position, is skimming off the
cream of his profits and the purchas-
ing power of the consumers dollar is
dwindling. If the abolition Of tariff on
meats is going 10 help this situation
the consumer can not but be agreeably
surprised.
Here's comparison Of wholesale
meat prices which goes long way to
evidence the position OK arrogance
adopted by the butcher: Best ribs OF
beef at wholesale now are costing 10
cents a pound On Feb. l they cost ~
cents: Jan. /, % cents. and just
year ago they brought 20 cents. Best
loins are selling now al IS cents Il
pound and they brought 26l2 cents at
the opening Of the year. The retail
pric es Of cuts from these carcasses In
the rank and file of the meat shops
stand as high as ever.
Rounds are selling up to 1872 cents
an advance Of cents over Jan. l, but
there's a reason for this. since the
rounds are commanding greater favor
with consumers because they are less
DISPOSED to buy freely of the choicer
grades of beef as long as the latter
sell at a figure which can not be paid
by many consumers, and an advance
in the wholesale cost of plates is SINH
larry explained.
There should be closer relationship
and more sympathetic fluctuations be-
tween wholesale and retail beef prices
If agreements between retailers asso-
Citations call for maintenance of prices
almost without regard to downward
tendency or wholesale cost. then con-
ditions are economically wrong and
need righting.
The packer. when he buys cattle
or hogs at sharply lower prices-and
this is done only when supply eX-
ceeds demand-lowers his wholesale
prices to AFFORD widening OF the out
let for his product That would be
good policy for the butcher to follow
Then there would be less public
clamor directed in most instances to-
| ward the interests least to blame fot
the evils charged.

Why AIf.If. i. Winter Killed.

The recent inquiry, in regard to al
falfa which failed on one Iowa farm,
has been submitted to various authori-
ties in the culture Of this crop. This
particular grower had good stand last
year, but this spring a great deal OF It
disappeared, says . writer In the Cedar
Rapids Republican. He says he did
not pasture the field 30 II could not
be due to that. We are inclined to be-
Iieve that 1t is due to the nonporous
condition Of. tho lower soil. Alfalfa
often starts out we'll and then 1t dies
ont. when the roots penetrate the lower
strata, which other plants have not
been able to reach. One writer on this
subject describes the process as fol-
lows:

seeding Of alfalfa, where good seed and

Farm Machinery. It. Us. and Abuse.

Consider the binder. an expensive
machine. which is needed but few
days Of the year. There is no manu-
featuring business that has its machin-
cry standing idle SO much of the time
as has farming" said Dean Price. OF
the Ohio College of Agriculture. The
acreage life of farm machinery IS ten
years Counting depreciation and in
terest, it ccets each year about Is per
cent Of the original investment to keep
it on the farm. The way some ma
chinery Is cared for it will cost more
than this

been secured, IL = thick stand thru
the first year Of hay making. many bare
! spots the second year and thin stand
! at the beginning OF the third or fourth
years.
When the stand Of alfalfa gets 90
| thin that the yield Is not profitable, the
land should be plowed deeply and
planted to a cultivated crop like corn
or potatoes. 1t will pay to give more
than the usual amount Of cultivation
50 that the soil will be put In good
condition in regard to filth and mois-
turc.
While the cultivated crop Is being
grown, the alfalfa roots will rot and
add decayed vegetable matter to the
soil to the full depth to which they
extend. The decay Of the roots will
allow moisture and air to penetrate the
soil as far as the roots have gone and,
both soil and root bacteria will be car
ried down with the moisture. The roots
in decaying have practically inoculated,
SUBSIDIZED and 0Dde alive the soil as
deep as they had penetrated it, three to
Ave feet. or more.
II a crop dies out in that way, the
conclusion should not be that IT can
not be grown in Iowa, or on that par
ticular piece Of soil. 1t simply may
mean that the ground has not been al
falfalized 1t also happens. sometimes,
that some constituents of the soil are
lacking for the growth OF alfalfa. the
most common lack being that OF lime.
This Is especially true in some wet
soils. which are soured and need lime
to sweeten them. Professor Bowman,
who has conducted experiments on
farms near Waterloo, says that winter
killing is often the result of an I'M
perfect seed bed or too wet soil. but
as neither of these conditions apply
in the case cited. 1t is probably due to
; tine non -inocculation of the deeper
soils and 1t Is more than likely that
second seeding, after giving time to the
first roots to decay in the soil. as
enumerated in the clipping above, the
results may be entirely satisfactory.

Must Work Out Fines.

Pocahontas, Oct. S.-The law
which gives the county officials
the privilege of working con-
yicts and all persons who are in
Jail to pay out their fines at the
expense of the county and state,
will be enforced in this county
in the future. This action was
started here today when Drew
Kellett, who is in jail for larce-
nv, was notified that he would
have to work his fine out on the
streets and highways instead OF
laying out his fine in jail at the
rate of Is cents per day at the
county's expense. Kellett PAID
his fine when he knew that the
working proposition was the
only recourse. This enforce
ment has never been made be-
fore in Randolph county.

afternoon at the home Of Mrs.
Otto NJ. Bowen. The regular

tuTe have been busy.
The poor and the needy have
been given aid in their time of
distress; those sick and in pris-
on have been visited and COM
forted. Flowers have been sent
to cheer the aged, the sick and
the shut-ins; on several occa-
sions pleasant entertainments
have been given by the union

cared to visit and get better in
sight into the work Of the w. c..

literature has been distributed
to help educate our town, our
county and our state in ideas of
purity and sobriety,
Furthermore, the love of
Christ as a personal Savior has
been held up before the people,

lowed in whatever way possible.
