THE preparation of a financial and
crop review at this season of the year
In the south is always beset with some
uncertainty as so much depends upon
the remaining weeks before the harvest,
While August conditions usually de-
termine the results of crop production and
the consequent good or bad times of the
season. This is a year in which addi-
tional complexities stand in the way of
forecasting the future prospects of the
commercial and industrial operations of
this section.
Marketing of Steel Products
THE Birmingham district has been fav-
ored by an impetus in the marketing of
the steel products, largely due to the
increased consumption of other sections
IL the manufacture of export articles for
munitions and the influences through the
European war for the greater expansion
of American trade and industry This
demand for steel is further reflected in
substantial improvement in both the
production and price of pig iron, which
in turn may logically be followed by the
profitable mining of coal, and the general
re-establshment of reasonable values of
coal properties
when there is added to these signs
of announcement an excellent crop out.
look, a substantial enhancement in gen.
cral business conditions following several
months of stagnation, and an unusual
ease in the money market, it is difficult
to restrain the announcement of normal
times toward which we have been looking
with confidence. Indeed, If viewed in
the light of experience of other years
that have gone, and basing our conclu.
sons upon the activities of the present,
we would seem to be at the beginning Of
great prosperity.

The Changed Condition


"A careful scrutiny of underlying facts,
however, compes the cautious to observe
that the necessity of adjusting our trans
actions to the requirements of the changed
conditions of the last u months may
preclude too great a fruition of that APP
parent fulness.
I'm the north and east, where war con-
tracts have been so plentifully distributed,
the hindrance may take the form of over
speculation by virtue of the counted earn
ings through the specified months of OPP
grafton. The boom stage flourishes so
readily in an atmosphere of established
future profits and forgotten principles of
the normal laws of supply and demand
and accustomed competition.
1.-The progress of the south has been CO.
extensive with the growth and develop
ment of a favorable export market for
our chief commodity, which had remained
unhampered until the beginning of the
European war. We knew that We must
set our faces toward the problems of
adjustment. This we have begun through
the increased production of other staples
and the decrease of cotton acreage, pro-
noting thereby an independence of a
money crop and a foreign market, but
the process is a slow one. Like most
important reformation, 1t must come by
easy stages. Alabama has contributed
toward this desired freedom by increas S.
ing her yield of wheat to two and one
hat times that of a year ago. and show
ing substantial increase in her pro-
duction of oats, corn, hay and fruit.
The Cotton Situation
1.-THE fly in the ointment at present,
however. in the SOUTH is the lack of a
normal consumption for cotton and the
consequent low price with the Offering
of the new crop. The comments re-
Gently upon this subject have had a
wide range from an enforced optimism
of a favorable market, compared with
the demoralized period of last year, to
the pessimism of those who can see
bankruptcy growing out of unliquidated
debts through lack of unrestricted selling
abroad, and whose remedy consists OF
governmental interference with ship
ments of war supplies in retaliation
The expression of both sentiments seeks
the same purpose of drawing attention

SEPTEMBER Is, 1915
EVENING
THE CALF PATH

One day thru the primeval woods,
A Cali walked home, as good calves should;
But made a trail all bent askew,
A crooked trail, as all calves do.
Since then two hundred years have lied,
And, / infer, the Cali is dead.
But still he left behind his trail
And thereby hangs my mortal tale.
The trail was taken UP next day,
By a lone Dog that passed that way.
And then a wise bell weather sheep
Pursued the trail DER vale and steep
And drew the flock behind him too,
AS good bell weathers always do.
And from that day, Ger hill and grace
Thru those old woods a path was made,
And many men wound in and out,
And lodged and turned and bent about
And uttered words OF righteous wrath,
Because twas such a crooked path;
But still they followed-do not laugh
The first migrations of that cali!
And thru the winding woodway stalked
" Because he wabbled as he walked.
This forest path became a lane,
That bent and turned and turned again:
This crooked Lane became a road,
go Where many a poor horse with his load'
Toiled on beneath the burning sun,
And travelled some three miles in one!
And thus a century and a hall
They trod the footprints OF that Cali!
The wears passed on in swiftest fleet,
The Road became a village Street!
And this, before the men were ware
A City's crowded thorofare,
And soon the central street was TINS
OF a renowned Metropolis!
And Men two centuries and a hat
.Trod in the footsteps OF that CALM
Each day a hundred thousand rout
Followed the zigzag Calf about!
And DER his crooked journey went
The traffic Of a continent!
A hundred thousand men were led
By one Calf near three centuries dead.
They followed still his crooked way,
And lost one hundred years a day;
For thus such References is lent
70 we'll established Precedent.
A moral lesson this must teach,
Were I ordained and called to preach
For Men are prone to go 1t Bllnd
Along the Calf path Of the mind!
And work away from sun to SUN
And do what other men have done.
They follow in the beaten track,
And out and in, and in and back
III And still their devious course pursue
To keep the path, that others 40
But how the wise old wood gods laugh

AGRICUL TURAI NOTES
By 0. Neraal,

The question that. is now up for
discussion among our farmers is:
"Shall Marshall County have Coun-
ty Agent ?" It is the only way for
this county to receive it's share of the
liberal appropriations that have been
made by the state and the Federal
Government. 100000 is available
from the state for this work and in
the neighborhood of $4,000 or
100000 from the United States gov
ernment. This sum will go to other
counties unless this county takes ac-
tion in the very near future. It did go
to another county last year and it
will again unless you people make
your wants known to the county COM
missioners of Marshall county and to
the University of Minnesota. Request
has been sent out to all the farmers
clubs in the county, now ten in all,
for them to take action and get back
of this movement and push it to a
completion, also to send representa-
tives to a joint meeting to be held in
Warren at the time of the Farmers
Short Course in March,. Each club
should send in three representatives
to that joint meeting, March 10, 1915.
I trust that you will get busy ON this
and set the ball rolling. It is pro-
gressive move in the right direction
so why not get in line?

Harvey Nichols, one Of the War
rem Corn Club boys, has won spe-:
cial prize from the state, presented
by H. L. Melgaard, Argyle, MINI. The
prize is a pure bred Yorkshire pig.
This will perhaps be the beginning of
fine herd of pure bred animals, for
Harvey intends to start in right, he
tells me. Norman 1verson, another
of our Warren boys, has won SINH
lar prize, presented by A. c. Jones,
Duluth, MINI. Now if these boys
raise as fine pigs as they raised corn,
and have no doubts but what they
will, they will win the best prize that
is to be won anywhere, the prize Of
success and mastery. Twenty boys
have enrolled for the 1915 corn con-
test. Are you in it?
