WHERE FARMERS PROFIT
BY SEED-TESTING WORK

OREGON AGRICULTURAL COL
LEGE, Corvallis, ore, July 30.-Dur-
ing three years Of operation at Ba-
ton Rouge, La, the cooperative seed
testing laboratory doubled the num-
Der of samples of seed tested each
year Last year there were about
900 tests made, and 80 per cent OF
them were for individual farmers.
This Is in marked contrast to the
record at the Oregon Agricultural
College. where fully rs per cent of
the tests made are on samples sup
piled by seed houses. Farmers have
not been so ready to take advantage
OF the work in oregon as they are
in Louisiana, with the result that
there is greater loss due TO imperfect
seed in this state.
There is likewise greater need OF
seed testing in Louisiana. The via
bility OF many kinds of seeds Is
greatly reduced by the heavy rains
and hot weather. Northern grown
seeds that keep their vitality well in
the north rapidly lose ii in the humid
warmth of the south, and after year
alfalfa and clover seed are generally
worthless for planting. But little OF
these crops are grown in the Red
River valley with the exception OF
crimson clover which is grown or

Lespedez, or Japan clover, take'
the place of clover in rotation. nitri

OIL PROGNOSTICATIONS
Widcatting in Northwestern Missouri Discussed by United States GeOlO- gical Survey.

The almost unsuitable demand for gasoline and other petroleum products seems to increase as fast as new oil pools can be discovered. Even the present slump in the oil industry of this country on account of the Euro pean war has failed wholly to check the skirmish line of the wildcatters. One of the regions of late invasion is northwestern Missouri. Advancing from the big pools of Oklahoma north eastward across southeastern Kansas where pools of modest production were found long ago, the wildcatter is now testing the ground in Missouri in the region of Leavenworth, Kans. Heretofore, the few tests made in northwestern Missouri have not met with very good results. Now, in or der to reduce the number of failures as far as possible, the drillers have asked the advice of the Missouri Bu- reau of Geology and Mines and the United States Geological Survey, which not long ago completed a joint examination of the region. In res ponse the geologists have prepared an advance statement to the effect that conditions specially favorable for the occurrence of strong pool have not been found in the Leavenworth, and smithville region, though the geo. logic structure at several points which they mention is considerably better than at others. According to their statement there would appear to be a hghting chance of finding oil or gas In small quantities in this region, though, far from finding another great Genn pool, the driller must not be surprised if he gets nothing more than showing of oil and gas.

ON SECOND THOUGHT
 Topeka Capital

When man goes to small town it is with the hope of making money. When he goes to the city it is with the expectation of spending it.
 "He is the sort of man." said Eph Wiley yesterday, in referring to one of his worthless relatives, "who goes in- to saloon to have good time."
 Every new political party seems to be founded on the principle that the man who doesn't vote its ticket should go to jail.
 Men probably gossip as much as women, but it doesn't stick to them, By tomorrow the average man will have forgotten what he was gossiping about today.
 If entrance to Heaven were based on good taste, there would be nobody there but St. Peter and few women.

RYE IN THE COTTON BELT.

As crop for the cotton belt, rye nav be used to advantage in many actions. It can be used as a winter cover crop, winter grazing crop, ar as a seed crop. The straw is also yaluable for several purposes. Rye ;c adapted to larger areas than wheat, heinz better suited to sandy soils. It stands cold weather better than oats. The grain of rye can usually be sold at the larger markets, but unless the orower produces a carload, or rye is produced in the community sufficient for carload shipments, it usually can not be sent to these markets with pro- ft Rye grain can be used for stock feeding, but it is not very satisfactory for this purpose except as feed for hogs.
 The machinery used for oats, barley or wheat is suitable for handling rye, but if these crops also are not grown the proper machinery will have to be provided either by the grower or by some one in the community. A few persons in each community may find it profitable to grow rye with the ob- ject of supply seed to their neighbors, should the general sowing of rye the following year appear probable.

WHOLESALE PRICES OF LEAD
 ING ARTICLES IN DCMES-
 TIC MARKETS 1913-14

Washington D. C., Dec. l2..-A downward trend in wholesale prices of leading articles of factory con- sumption and many of the staple arti- cles of food in 1913 and 1911 down
 to the period of the European war and a rapid rise in prices of food |stuffs following that event are indicat- ed by pamphlet just issued by the Department of Commerce through the
 Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Com merce. The booklet referred to is pub lished under the title of "Wholesale
 Prices of Leading Articles in the United States Markets"-Miscellane- ous Series No. 19 and may be obtain ed from the Superintendent of Docu- ments, Government Printing Office,
 Washington, D. C., for the nominal sum of five cents. Its practical value is far beyond what might be inferred from its price, for it contains week ly record of the price functuation of the principal basic articles of indus try, such as iron and steel, petroleum, cotton, wool, and tin, and of leading foodstuffs including wheat, corn, su- gar, coffee, tea rice, pork, and beef.
 Cottonseed oil, manila, pig iron, steel billets and blooms, petroleum, copper, silk, tin, spelter, and silver were in each case at lower price level in the closing week of July last than in the corresponding period a year ago, and this was also true of sugar, coffee, and rice. Wheat, corn, cattle, cotton, leather, and domestic wool ruled somewhat higher than in the preceding year. Australian wool showed a precipitate decline imme- diately following the date at which wool was transferred to the free list, the average price dropping from s2 cents per pound on December 5, 1913 to 61 cents on December 12 of that year. The range of prices of these and numerous other articles by weeks from January 1, 1913, to October 31, 1914, is shown in the pamphlet in question.

The January WOman's Home
 Companion

In the January WOman's Home Con- paniOn Ida M. Tarbell, the distin- guished journalist, writes highly en- tertaining and sensible fact article entitled What Women Are Really Doing" She take up some of the common false claims about women, and disproves them by the United States Census, which she has careful ly examined to get at the truth in re- gard to marriage, divorce, child bear ing and other subjects. In a general way her conclusion is that American women are to day living more useful and genuinely productive lives than ever before ir the history of our coun- try.
 Another highly important article in this issue of the Companion has to do with Twilight Sleep-the latest de- vice of science for rendering child bearing as easy and safe as possible. The article has been read and approved by experts and is an authoritative ac- count Of just what cases the treat ment is suitable to and what may be expected of it. It gives precisely the information that all women would like to have ;n reliable form.
 The Rev. pr. Charles E. Jefferson, pastor Of Broadway Tabernacle, New York City, contributes an article on the war, in which he answers the charge loosely made in some quarters that the European war is evidence of the failure of Christianity. A minis ter, reporting his pastoral experiences with women, tells the interesting story of a man who became ashamed of his wife and how the minister devised means for bringing the two closer together with the result that they lived in peace and contentment. Many other articles of interest and practical value are included in the is sue and the regular service depart ments-Better Babies, Fashion, Housekeeping, Cooking, Tower Room, and Entertainment-are thoroughly alive with fresh news and suggestions of great practical value to house keepers.

foxes will soon be published, to bring up to date preliminary information furnished in 1908 in Farmers Bulletin 398, Silver Fox Farming.
 Moleskins have been extensively used in this country during the last few years in making fur garments, and practically all of the supply has been imported from Europe. In the belief that the common mole of eastern United States produces fur of equal value, skins were submitted to pro- fesslonal furriers, who stated that the quality is superior to the foreign pro- duct. A report on the economic sta- tus of the eastern species was pub- lished during the year. The mole in- habiting the northwestern coast is larger than the common eastern spe- cles, and a number of these have been collected in order to obtain a report on the quality of the pelt. If the tex ture of the fur proves to be as good as that of the eastern animal, there is no reason why trappers should not secure a good income by capturing these animals, as the area they in- habit is extensive. In many locali- ties an acre of ground supports as many as hundred individuals. If this little animal can be proftably trapped for it's fur the problem of freeing agricultural areas from it will practically be solved.
 Investigations into the economic value of North American skunks re- suited in the publication of Farmers Bulletin on the subject. It has been found that this animal is one of the most useful of native mammals and most efficient help to the farmer and the orchardist in their warfare against insect and roden pests. As source of fur it is also a commercial asset, the skins netting trappers about $3,- 0O0,000 annually. As the skunk is valuable in it's activities as we'll as for its fur, experiments in breeding the animals in captivity are recommend ed.
