spectators In the large cities OF the
United States were actively buying
up this years short American potato
crop and planning to hold out for
high prices, counting upon the exist

many foreign countries to aid them
in their undertaking.
Mr. Gill is here to urge the removal
Of the embargo on potatoes from his
country and has been getting private
advices from various sources on the
potato situation in America. He in.
sists the powdery scales found on po-
tatoes imported from Ireland are no

similar blemish already is common in
the United States and declares con-

GOVERNMENT AID
FOR THE BANKS
Secretary McAdoo Will Help
When Necessary.
NO HARDSHIP IN new LAW
He Sees No Reason Why Credits
Should Be Restricted Because of
Changes in the Pending
Currency Bill.

Washington, Nov. 29.-Secretar!
McAdoo issued a statement declaring
that banks throughout the countr.
reported to be restricting credits il
order to meet the provisions Of thu

sources in the treasury will be at the
disposal of the banks to aid them ir

The secretary expressed the convic
ton that the new law will impose nc
hardshps on the banks, and that the
transfers of capital and reserves to
the proposed federal reserve banks
will be accomplished with little OF
no Inconvenience to the banks and
general business.
Mr.. McAdoo said that the Treasury
Department had large available re.
sources at its command; that he
should not hesitate to use them for
the purpose OF aiding the banks to
comply with the new law, and that in
his opinion the banks could with per-
feet safety proceed with the granting
of accommodations to their custom
ers in the normal and usual way. The
secretary said that he did not, OF
course, assume TO advise the banks

ground for apprehension and that the
attitude OF the Treasury Department
Is to be helpful. and that he thought
it could be effectively helped. He
said that If any banks are laboring
under the impression that the new
law will necessitate or cause a de.
struction OF credits, they are con-
trolled by error, as no such thing
will result.
1t was stated by the secretary that
up to date the banks had called
upon the treasury for only $34,GG1, 900

deposits were, under the arrange

There are four methods in common
use by which the defects of particu.

These are by direct determination ri
the total supply of the essential ele-

by study of the natural vegetation:
by pot fertilizer tests; and, lastly, by
field fertilizer tests.
Field fertilization is by far the east
est and most reliable method and one
that every farmer Can carry out. In
short, it consists of laying out series
of plots on the land in question, ap-
plying nitrogen to one, phosphorus to
another and probably potash to a

While the feeding value of tankage
has been recognized for some time,
the amount which should be fed for
best results is still more or less an
experiment. Up until very recently
the proportion of tankage to corn
recommended for fattenng hog ra-
ton was one part tankage to ten
parts corn. The Iowa station, how.
ever, has some recent results with
feeding meat meal Ga packinghouse
by.product Very similar to tankage1
which indicate that better results
may be expected when one part OF
tankage is fed with ~ to 16 parts
corn.
In addition to the high protein and
ash content, tankage contains soluble
meat extracts which have a decided
stimulating effect upon digestion and
help materially in keeping up the ap-
petite of the animal Tankage and
corn make one of the most palatable
swine rations, and, while 1t is hard to
measure the value of palatability, all
feeders recognize it's great impor.

There are several different grades
of tankage on the market For this
reason care should be taken when
buying to see that one is getting just
what he is paying for. The best grade

Tankage fattens. 1t contains the
necessary protein and ash to serve
as an excellent complement to corn
in the fa+tefihss Of swine.
Ar enormous amount of work has
been carried on in the last few years
by state experiment stations, with
the object in view of finding methods
of feeding which would cheaper the
cost of production and thus increase
the profits from feeding operations
Work on swine feeding has shown
conclusively that for best results corn
should be supplemented with some
feed high in protein and ash, these
nutrients being the ones which build
muscle and bone. By using some
such supplement it has been found
that the cost of production will be Is
TO 40 per cent less than when straight
corn is fed Successful feeders long
ago recognized this fact, and good
feeders would not now attempt to
feed hogs on corn alone.
The question is no longer, Shall
use a supplement-" but is rather,
what supplement IL the most eco
nomical?" Since 1t 10 muscle or bone

in order to supplement corn ration,
the feed which supplies the largest

the most economical, provided the

to equally utilize the nutrients sup
