Washington. Congress settled

WINTERING THE LIVE STOCK i
Cattle Owners Have Faith That
Prices Are to Rule High for Some
Tlme-Numbers Decreasing.

One of our neighbors put up silo
this fall and filled 1t with what the
dry weather left of his corn. He has
bargained to feed bunch of 100 head
OF cattle for six months. says writer
in the Farmers Mail and Breeze. For
this he receives $500, $3.50 head a
month. This seems a good price com
pared with what we used to get in for
mer years. We wintered cattle, years
ago, for SIS head for the winter. re-
CARELESS of whether it was long or
short winter We have heard of other
cattle being taken at $225 head a
month for the winter and as high as
s2.75 being paid for some.
Time will tell whether cattle will
pay out when wintered at such prices.
It will mean the cattle will have to
sell for SIS more head next spring II
they are to cover the cost of wintering
alone. In addition there is the danger
OF loss and the interest on the value
OF the cattle, which will be no small
amount. But cattle owners have faith
that prices are to rule very high for
some time to come and probably they
are right. Cattle are decreasing in
number every year Missouri. alone,

years ago and in that time its ponula-
aon has increased 100000.

the vicinity Of Savannah, Ca, to the
southern portion of New Jersey, ao1
cording to the department OF agri-
culture.
This particular belt of territory, IA
yoratIy situated with respect to in
tensiye vegetable production, Is the
result of the concurrent existence OF
a number of favoring, factors. In the
first place, the climatic conditions
within this belt render its successive
portions from south to north earlier
in the date of maturity for the differ
ent crops than any other regions in
the eastern states which are located
in the same ATTITUDES. This arises
from the fact that the land area OF
the region lies at low attitudes. From
Savannah Ca, to Camden, N. j., along
the Atlantic coast, there are no high
lands. The coastal land areas rise
from sea level with gentle slopes, and
the vast coastal plain presents a low,
nearly level, and unrelieved surface
throughout what is known as the flat
woods" section.
The streams of the region consist
chiefly of narrow tortuous tide-Water
embayments, in whose channels the
tide rises to points removed 40 to rs
miles from the actual coast. These
lower lands constitute narrow bands
along one or both banks of the stream
ways.
While it is impossible to give an ac-
curate statement of the acreage suit
able for the production of winter and
spring vegeta bles in the Atlantic coast
region, it may be stated that the areas
now utilized for such purposes con-
stitute only fraction of one per cent.
of the total land areas which may ul-
timately be made available
The first requirement for the de-
velopment of these lands will be a
market demand which shall justify the
| increased production, through paying
! price for the production common
surate with the expenditures and risks
undertaken by the producer. This
may be attained through the natural
increase in the consuming population
and, to a more marked degree, through
| the extension of the markets to hun
dreds of thousands of city dwellers
who never taste. the fresh vegetable
products at the period of the year
when these crops are placed upon the
market Extensive community and
private drainage works must be under
taken before some of the best soils
for trucking are rendered available in
the coastal regions.

Salt Lake City.-Two masked

both men began firing. Morrison fell
to the floor mortally wounded.
John Morrison, IL years old, son,

at the bandits. Before the boy
could fire a second time he was shot
three times and instantly killed by
the bandits, who then ran from the
store.
Merlin Randolph Morrison, IA

saw his father and brother shot. He

HuLeARIANs NEED HELP.
More Than Three Hundred Thousand
Driven From Their Homes.

Paris.-The extent of suffering in
Bulgaria as the result Of the recent
Balkan wars, was given out Satur-
day by Michael Gherorghieff, secre-
tary of the Bulgarian legation to
Paris, who has Just returned from a
trip to his native country.
He declared that the number of
sufferers in old Bulgaria and the ex-
tended portion Of Thrace and Mace
donia was not less than 100000.
The number of Bulgarians who
we're driven from their ancestral
lands said Gherorghieff, exceeds
100000, while more than 100000 per-
sons were driven from their homes
in Thraee and Macedonia. The great
est misery is due to the lack of
clothing and shelter from the bitter
winter weather. Outside Of this
there is great suffering by several
hundred thousands who are without
food and means to earn money to
buy food and clothing.
