GREATER PROSPERITY THRU
 GREATER FOREIGN TRADE
.Congreg gationa.lst

New York, December 20.-"Greater prosperity through greater foreign trade" is the objective of the Second National Foreign Trade Convention to be held at St. Louis, January 21- 22, 1915.
 Three thousand commercial and in- dustrial organizations, corporations, firms and individuals engaged in for eign trade, have been invited to send delegates. In letter to them James A. Farrell, President of the United States Steel Corporation and Chair man of the National Foreign Trade Council, says:-"The European war has demonstrated that our foreign trade, while small in comparison with domestic business, is vital element Tn our domestic prosperity and, there for, of immediate concern to every cit izen. Individual action, however strong, cannot do justice to the pres ent opportunities for it's expansion. Co-ordinated effort of the entire na- tlon-manufacturers, m e r c h n S , bankers, carriers and all others working together in harmony with a we'll defined national policy, will alone enable us to develop the possibilities now before us."
 The Convention will eliminate gen eralities and concentrate on commer- clal problems created by the European war and those which will confront American foreign traders when peace Is restored.
 To present the effect of the war on United State trade, John Basset Moore formerly Counselor of the State De- partment, who is the foremost Ameri- can authority on international law, will speak on Problems Arising in War and Commerce.. Hon. w. c. Redfield, Secretary of Commerce, will open the Convention.
 Instead of numerous speeches on the general aspects of foreign trade, the sessions will be divided between au- thoritative papers by leaders in the business world and constructive dis cussion by delegates representing all sections of the country. Ways and means whereby the smaller manufac- turer and merchant may engage in foreign trade will have an important place on the program.

RAPE AS A FORAGE CROP
 IN THE COTTON BELT

(By c. V. Piper, Agrostologist in Charge of Forage Crop Investiga- tions, Bureau of Plant Industry)
 Rape is a succulent, nutritious plant closely related to kale, collards, and cabbage, and requires essntially the same conditions of culture as these crops. The plants grow to height of 1 F to 4 feet, depending on condi- tions of soil and climate. The best forage varieties do not bloom the same season they are planted. It is the most important plant of the cabbage family to use as feed for hogs, sheep, cows, and chickens, and for this pur- pose should be much more commonly grown. Practically only one variety is grown in the United States, namely, the Dwarf Essex. The seed is quite cheap, usually retailing at about 10 cents per pound.
 Time of Seeding
 Rape is a cool-season crop, and in the South should, therefore be planted in the fall or in the very early spring The crop is not injured by ordinary winters in the South but of course the growth is slow in cold weather. In the falf~it is best seeded from August l3 to October 15. Later seeding is scarcely advisable, except near the Gulf coast and in Florida, where it may be sown up to December 15. In the spring it should be seeded just as early as danger of freezes is past; that is, at about the same date spring oats are sown. The earlier seedlings nearly always give the largest yields as growth is checked when very warm weather occurs. In summer the plant becomes much less palatable. Fall seeding is best, but early spring sow ing is often successful. Spring is never advisable in Florida or near the Gulf coast.
 Soil Preparation and Cultivation
 Rape succeeds best in rich loam soils but profitable crops are grown on sandy and on clayey soils. An abun- dant moisture supply is necessary to produce large yields. Good prepara tion of the seed bed is advisable. Barnyard manure is the best fertilizer In the absence of this, 400 to 600 pounds per acre of complete com mercial fertilizer may be used.
 When rape is planted in wide rows tivations during the early growth. Ali ter cutting the first crop a second growth is often obtained especially if the stuble is cultivated.
 Method of Seeding
 Rape may be sown in cultivated

The Passing of
 the Old Year
By John Tweezer

Usually, on occasions of this kind, I am fuller than "Keely" graduate. But this time my wife filled my jug with moth balls anl 1 had to see the old year depart in e9.acc.
 l tried to sleep, but visions of the old year loome1 up before me and my mind chasel around after thoughts to sooth me 10 sleep. I felt that had not come in sight of the castles of my dreams, and l asked the Lord to teach me still to be thankful for life and for times golden memories that are good and sweet.
 How long pondered, do not know, but alas, all earthly things faded from my mind and in my visions I saw beautiful night. The stars sparkled in the heavens. l saw old Father Time streak across the sky like me- teor after certain old vagabond year that was slipping down behind the hills of the west. I heard the dying notes of the distant funeral bells. I saw a splendid unfurling of gold and crimson banners with the inscription of the New Year written thereon.
 The angels opened the gate and a chariot came hurtling over the eastern horizon. The goddess of the New Year was in it. As she dashed by, she dropper little package; picked it up with trembling hands, and as united the tencil cord, found it to be neat little volume with greetings of 1915, embellished on it's covers. turned the first page and to my sur prise it read like this:
 "John Tweezer, you have been an old reprobate. You made all kinds of promises last year and you have broken them all."
 (Signed) Gabriel"
 l turned it's second page, and it read as follows:
 "John Tweezer, do you remember the bright hours that found you walk ing the silent hills of your childhood, when light glowed within you, and you promised your God to have cour- age amid the tempests of changing years?"
 (Signed) Jehovah"
 1 turned the third page and found it read thus:
 "John Tweezer, don't you remember you promised that you would quit drinking 'barbed wire in liquid form,' or go to hell? Pm waiting."
 (Signed) Satan"
 I dropped the volume with a shud- der.
 Heavens, John! Wake up. What in the world is the matter? You are shaking like an earthquake. You should take something to quiet your nerves," Cried Mrs. Tweezer.
 Yes, Mrs. Tweezer. I need dose of reform, and I am going to take it this very night.

WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH THE
 UNITED STATES?
By Herbert N. Casson, in Associated
 Advertising for December.

What is the matter with the United States?"
 As l have been residing in London since the beginning of the war, have been hearing this question asked on all sides. I have never heard any satisfactory answer. No one seems to know.
 Why are not American factories running night and day? Why are the railroads not opening up new terri tories and getting ready for the mil lions of immigrants who have already made up their minds to leave Europe as soon as the war is over?
 Why are there not 50 American drummers in London right now try ing to sell $2OO,OO0,0O0 worth of American goods in place of the goods that were bought last year from Ger many and Austria?
 Why have the advertisers become quitters, just at the time when their
 
 most effective in cheering on the busi- ness forces of the United States?
 From the European point of view, the United States is haven of peace and security and prosperity. It has no troubles that it dare mention to Belgium or Austria or France or Ger many or Servia or Great Britain or Russia.
 Every tenth Briton has enlisted. Every tenth Frenchman is at the front. Every tenth Belgian is dead. What does the United Stats know of trouble?
 If I could afford it, I would charter the Mauretania and Lusitania, and convey a party of 5000 American ad- vertisers to Europe for a trip of edu- cation. 1 would give them week in London, week in Paris week in Antwerp.
 would let them look at the United States from the scene of war. would give them a look at real trouble. I would let them see trains, ten at time, five minutes apart, packed with the maimed and the dying.
 I would let them hear, from frag- mentary survivors, the incredible story of battlefelds, 150 miles wide, and armies that are greater than the entire population of Texas.
 would let them see graves 100 yards long and full, and Belgium, the country that was, nothing now but 12,000 square miles of wreckage.
 Then, when they began to under stand, to some slight extent, the mag nitude and awfulness of this war, 1 would say to them:
 "Now go back and appreciate the United States. Realize your opportu- mites. Don't start digging trenches when nobody is firing at you. Don't fall down when you have not been hit. Don't be blind to the most glorious chance you have ever had in your life. "Go back and advertise. Get ready for the most tremendous business boom that any nation ever had. Build your factories bigger. Train more salesmen. Borrow more money. Go ahead, and thank God that you are alive and that your family is alive and that you are living in a land that is at peace, at time when nearly the whole world is at war"

rows, in narrow drill rows, or broad casted. If planted in rows, these should ordinarily be 24 to 90 inches apart. In rows 2S inches wide, which is the best average width, pounds of seed per acre are sufficient.
 If drilled with graf Till pounds of seed per acre are re ruired When broadcasteI or pounds per acre should be used.
 Rape may be successfully grown with certain other crops Thus, t may be sown in early spring on oats, wheat, or rye, and usually a good stand is secured after the grain crop is cut. It may also be sown mixed with clover, to be used as pasture, or between the rows in some winterklled crop of late fall pasture.
 The best depth to SOW the seed is about one-half inch.
 Uses of The Crop
 Rape is most commonly used as a pasture crop for hogs or sheep. Cattle eat it readily, but destroy consider able by trampling, especially where the rape is broadcasted. In broad rows the injury by trampling is less, as animals usually walk between the rows. Many animals do not like rape at first, but must acquire taste for it before they will eat it readily. Salt should be supplied literally, as this will tend to prevent the purging which rape often produces.
 In pasturing cattle on rape care must be taken to prevent bloating. They should not be turned into a rape pasture when it is wet with dew or rain or when the cattle are very hum gry. If supply of hay or straw is kept convenient, cattle will instinc- tivelyturn to this when they begin to bloat. Where animals can pass readily from rape pasture to grass pasture, cases of bloating are very infrequent. On the whole, it is best to avoid danger and not pasture cat tie on pure rape. There is no danger of bloating with hogs.
 Rape may also be cut and stall fed. If fed to dairy cows, it should be just after milking, as otherwise it may taint the milk.
 Rape is also an excellent feed for all kinds of poultry.
 Rape for Human Food
 Rape is quite as good for human food as kale or collards, and may be prepared in the same manner. It is often grown for human food under the name of smooth or spring kale.
 Yield.
 Rape varies greatly in yield accord ing to the soil. Yields of 30 tons per acre, green weight, are not rare. Ten to 15 tons is good yield, and small Ter returns are profitable.
 Under favorable conditions rape is ready to pasture in about eight weeks after seeding. An acre of good rape will easily supply pasture for 20 hogs for two months.

PORTLAND, Ore, July 29.-In the
face OF one of the largest grain crops
in the history of the northwest, of a
fruit crop in most instances greater
than last year and the gradual re-
vival of the lumber business. Port
land railroad men believe the car stu
alton will prove equal TO handling the
emergency.
Anticipating a recurrence of last
years shortage, nearly all the roads
have been rushing empties from por-
tions of their territory where the
prospective demand is light Prac-
tically all lines have purchased new
equipment. also. although for months
many of the box and flat cars already
in use have been idle.
Lumber shippers have feared that
marked shortage would follow the
revival of trade. particularly because
the retailers stocks all over the coun-
try have been allowed TO run low.
Recently d. w. Campbell. assistant
general manager of the. Southern Pa
cific, sent out an appeal for prompt
handling of cars on the part of ship
pers and consignees, in anticipation OF
what he considered one OF the biggest
movements of grain and lumber In
