Intense weakness was continued in

This is direct contrast to the sit

livestock market in the country. The

usually unsatisfactory.
While there were practically no
fresh offerings of cattle on the mar

ing stations must be good. Even
granting that the war in Europe had
not operated to curtail the supply of
imported horses, the probability is
that the demand between now and
next May would have proved perhaps
the best in the past six or seven
years.
Now with importations cut down
to less than one-third of their 1918
proportions, there is n need to offer
suggestions. Breeders of pure bred
drafters in this country have the
greatest opportunity ever presented
to them. 1t will be the wise man
who knows when to sell.
There will be naught but foolish
ness in trying to force prices for
home-bred draft stations to an un-
duly high level. That will only hurt
the breeders by forcing in a lot of
grades and scrubs that will have no
chance to perpetuate their kind, If
prices for pure breds are maintained
on a reasonable level.
Future Promising.
Standardized horses promise to
share in the general advance. Most
farmers In prosperous circumstances
still find use for a few good drivers
and the stock of that sort will be
thoroughly well cleaned up by the
time the war order has been executed.
Next Spring there will be a keen
demand for the services of all good
sized, handsome trotting stations,
and by the same token thousands of
young farmers will throng the COM
bination sales this Fall and Winter,
anxious to secure standardized
mares to replace the commoner
stock they let 60 in the boom of the
war demand.
1t is by no mean an out-of-the-
way guess that desirable trotting-
bred mares and fillies will advance
this season from 33 to SO per cent
owe the prices paid for them last
Winter and the supply is SO small
that this augmentation of value
promises to be permanent. In fine,
the prospect ahead of the whole horse
breeding fraternity is, in my way
Of thinking, strictly good. H. S. j.

Piles and lettuce. The result of these
Investigations should be to put these
products on the market in much bet

evitable, making the industries more
profitable than before.
Farm Demonstration Work.
In its farm-demonstration work
the bureau has devoted particular at
tention to the sowing of legumes as
Winter " crops wherever this is
possible. An increase in this prac-
tice of more than 800 per cent in the
Southern States indicates the success
of this campaign.
In 1912, for example, 1000 demon
strations Of the value of crimson clo-
e were given on one-acre lots in
Alabama. This resulted in the SOW
ing of more than 100000 acres of
crimson clover in that state the next
year. As has already been said, the
production of livestock also received
much attention and many thousand
head of %purebred stock were brought
into the South for breeding purposes.
The formation of pig, corn and can
ming clubs has already been ncour
aged successfully.
In its Investigations of various
plant diseases, the bureau has found
a practical method of controlling
apple powdery mildew by pruning
and spraying. 1t has also studied the
peach leaf curl, which is a serious
source Of loss; the possibility of pre-
venting cranberry diseases, the citrus
canker and sugar beet and sweet po-
tato diseases. Successful methods of
controlling the latter have already
been demonstrated to growers, and a
bulletin on the subject issued. Prom
Using methods of overcoming the po-
tato powdery scab have also been
developed. This disease, while con-
fined to Maine and a small portion of
New York, appears to be lore viru-
lent in this country than abroad.
Progress in the development of a
variety of cotton suitable to boil
weevil conditions has also been en-
c%ouraging.

TWO MILLION DOLLARS IN
ROBERTS COUNTY BANKS

Wilmot, S. D.-Figures which
have lust been compiled show that
the twenty banks OF this Roberts J.
county have aggregate deposits OF
S2.OT7.346.26, which, according TO
population, places Roberts county IN
the front rank of the counties OF
South Dakota in wealth. The popula-
1ion Of the county is approximately
10000, which would make the de-
posits S17O for every man, woman
and child in the county. AS there are
within the borders of the county
about 1900 Sisseton Sioux Indians
the per capita bank deposits for the
white residents is much above Sl'o
There are no large cities i'll the coun
tv whose banks carry outside depos
it's. so the deposits shown in th'
banks OF the county consists of money
belonging to the farmers and busl
ness men who actually make thei
home in the county. Nine out of tel
of the early settlers came to TIL
county without dollar, and many o
them now have accumulated goo
fortunes.

The only debatable propositions,
said Untermyer, ARE whether there

their incorporation and whether, II
the Incorporate IN is necessary, ii
