GOOD FARMING.

Fairy good crops may be produced
in any section of Illinois when the
season is particularly favorable to
that section even through the best
methods of crop production are not
followed, but it is when unreasonable
conditions prevail that results of good
farming are most apparent.
The beneficial results of good farm
management are very apparent on
the farm of Mr.. Ralph Allen, near
Delavan in Tazewell county. Mr.. Al
len has adopted the Illinois system
of permanent agriculture and each
year he treats 40 acres of land with
1900 pound per acre OF raw rock
phosphate. He practices a systematic
rotation of corn, oats, what and Glow
err One 40 acres in wheat this year
gives promise of 33 to 40 bushels per
acre, as compared with untreated
fields in the locality which will yield
% to 80 bushels. The variety is ''Tur-
key Red" and is entirely free from
mixture with other varieties, cheat
or weeds. Besides the increased yield
/ the wheat ON the treated land will be
ready for harvest much earlier than
on other fields, an advantage that is
appreciated by those desiring to get
threshing over as early as possible.
The management of several hundred
acres planted to cultivated crops
necessitates the use of large amount
OF machinery and tools, and to keep
these in repair at a minimum of ex-
pense requires an intelligent and sys-
tematic oversight and in this depart
his son Ralph, who has had a course
in farm mechanics in the University
of Illinois. System" seems to be the
watchword on the Allen Farm. There
is a spacious workshop well supplied
with tools and materials for quickly
repairing machinery and implements,
while IN a shed nearby is stored a
good supply Of hard wood lumber cut
into proper dimensions for wagon
tongues. cuppling poles, double and
single trees, wagon beds, hay racks.
etc. With this equipment, when the
weather will not permit outdoor
work, time is profitably spent in get
ting everything in good repair. Each
tool belonging In the workship has its
place on the wall; pasted on the wall
| directly beneath II is its facsimile cut
from heavy cardboard; a glance at
the wall gives on an inventory OF all
missing tools. By making each per
| son responsible for the return OF tools
removed by him a system IS estab-
lished whereby the tools are usually
to be found in their proper places.
Mr.. Allen believes in education for
usefulness. He has four boys and
five girls and as each Of these finish

OF Illinois 70 complete their education In
agriculture and household science

when it is realized that the season
has been only of few months dura-
ton The tonnage of the steamers is
almost twice that of 1912 when the to-
tai was S5,S17. In 1913 the total is
already 62,s90. The corresponding fig
ure for barges also shows a large in

Fire Destroys All BeIoneings.-Af-
ter being unable to work all winter
because of sickness, Mrs. Christine
Peterson, a widow residing on the
second floor of home at 1901 Sec
ond street, lost all her possessions
Thursday night when fire broke out,
destroying everything on the floor.
Mrs. Peterson has two children, one,
lad of Il, is serving as an appren-
tice. The other is a girl trifle older
who devotes her time In sewing. The

pie are all that the family has to rely

quickly spread, the whole second floor
being ruined. The first floor was also
badly damaged.
Finds Lights Efficient.-After spend
ing six days in Moline testing the arc
lights of the city, Pierre E Haynes
made his report and departed for his
home in Chicago. Commissioner East
man refused to make public the con-
tents Of the report, but it is under
stood that of the 10 lights tested all
were found to be efficient and to give
the contracted candle power. Mr..
Haynes was in Moline just six days,
1920 being paid him for his services.
He used the photometer in making his
tests, making enough and from enough
different angles to be absolutely GER
tain.
School Capacity Adequate.-The re-
port that East Moline will need an
other school building this year is not
| the case, so states a member of the
school board. The present facilities
will conveniently take care of the
scholars in this district When the
township high school had been decid-
ed against the district it was thought
that it might be necessary to have an
other school building erected and this
| will likely be done in the future in
case all prospects for the township
high school are abandoned.
Obituary Record.-Mrs. c. Kennedy
of Moline passed away at the Water
town hospital at 9:15 Thursday eV'
ening after an illness of more than q
year. She was committed to the in
stitution June &c, 1912, and was 81
years of age. A husband is bereaved
by her passing.

POULTRY CULTURE

Fancy Fowls-The art of successful
highest branch of poultry keeping. The
best qualities and talents of man are
brought into exercise in the control
ling and managing of natural forces
for the production of the finest fowls.
Purpose-The purpose of the poul-
try fancier is to breed fowls possess
ed of qualities to satisfy a certain
established standard of perfection. He
keeps pure-bred stock and breeds
mainly for beauty as signified by
pleasing plumage, symmetrical shape,
ornamental appendage and attractive
appearance of the fowls as a whole.
Many fanciers breed fowls to ex-
hibit in competition for prizes at poul-
try shows. Others breed to sell to
fellow fanciers and would-be exhibit
tors. Some breed the beautiful birds
as a pastime for their own gratifica-
ton. Not few fanciers keep pure
bred fowls for the sake of securing
sure supply of their superior pro-
ducts for the table. Occasionally a
fancier is found whose specially is the
development of new breeds.
The fanciers are numbered by thou
sands and include men and women in
almost all the ranks and callings of
| life. The fanciers of America have
national association and numerous
special organizations.
Fancy fowls a hobby-Usually, but
not always, the keeping of fancy
! fowls is taken up as a speciality aside
from the mans regular occupation
| Oftentimes, however, the fancier be
slows upon his valuable birds the ut
most care and attention as a result
of his enthusiastic interest and intense
pride in his feathered pets. The true
fancier finds pleasure in caring fol
his fowls and it is his constant effort
to increase the beauty and utility OF
| his chosen variety.
1t has been proven frequently that
it is not necessary to have large
means or a great area of ground al
command in order that the fancie1
may gain large influence among poul
trymen.
| Beginning small-Be his plant ever
so small, he can keep few standard
bred fowls. The very smallness OF
their numbers enables him the better
to study the particular characteristics

MOLINE

Cost $2,5co Care Diseases.-When all
Of the bills are paid it will be shown
that it has cost the city of East Mo-

take care of contagious diseases since

outbreak of smallpox, which has not
been stamped out as yet. Zach Elm

township, says that nearly $1,000 in
bills have been turned over to him

SOUND FINANCING
OF PAST NOW
GUARANTEE
Bank President Points Out the
Factors That Assure Stabil-
ity of Community
Prosperity
Br c. H. COOKE

The financial and commercial insti-
buttons of the Territory have always
been conducted along conservative
lines. The banks of this city have
never departed from this principle
and have been always check against
transportation Low prices in stocks
at the present time can be attributed
to the most natural causes. For the
past few years the sugar growers
have been favored with unusual high
returns from their crops. These high
prices extending over past years have
stimulated an over-production in the
world supply of our chief commodity,
causing this year an over-production.
Necessarily We are going through a
condition similar to that experienced
few years ago when like circum-
stances prevailed. However, we can
face these low prices far better than
in the years 1900 to 1904, as local
conditions are much stronger than at
that time. There are no new enter
prises demanding large sums monthly
for assessments. During the last few
years the majority of our plantations
have made practice of carrying larg-
er balances than formerly, in order to
finance themselves during the seasons
when no returns are coming in from
their crops. The pineapple industry
is on a sound footing and has brought
