turing resources with a view to future domestic demands for iron and steel products. In other words, he, like his associates, was persuaded that in the long run the Steel corporations pros- perity would depend upon domestic busi- ness demands and not upon an accumu- lation of war orders. Just as MI. Davidson sailed for Europe, a few days ago, he learned that the Steel corpora tion is now operating perhaps S5 per cent of its capacity. That is an in- crease of more than 100 per cent since October of last year. It is also an in- crease of kind which justifies the hope that before many weeks have passed the corporation will be operating at it's full capacity. This is chiefly domestic business. although. of course, some of the products of the Steel corporation are utilized by those who are manufac- turing war commodities.

The One Remaining Factor

Notwithstanding the plethora of money which Is in American banks, nevertheless the one great factor needed to perfect business prosperity is still lacking. There is no disposition on the part of capital to make investments in new enterprises, at least to any considerable extent, and it seems to be the opinion that this dis position will continue until capital Is persuaded that it is no longer in dan ger of political antagonism. Furthermore, capital must bankers say have an op- portunty to test the effects of the new tariff law. The outbreak of war in Flu rope and the radical change in trade con- ditions which it has caused have made 1t impossible to make a satisfactory test of the permanent effect of the tariff law

 Boys Are Profiting From Pig Clubs
By REUBEN A. LEWIS

Fayette, June 2s-(Special.) .)-Fayette county is taking a stand in the fore of the crop dlversification movement. Wheat, hitherto planted in minute quantities. will become one of the principal commodities within the next few seasons. P. Ar hold, the county demonstration agent. has exacted promises from several hundred farmers in this progressive community to plant wheat during the approaching plant ing season.
 On account of the interest evinced by the planters, Thomas Roberts ,n, one of the leading bankers of Fay .tte county has promised to erect rolling mill for the wheat, that flour may be made from the raw product here
 While the advances of the county in ni- versifying the crops have been marked during the last year, even greater strides have been made in the cattle business Under the direction of the county demon- strator, the campaign to eradicate the tick menace has been started. Since last July seven dipping vats. erected th1 1ough the cooperative efforts of the farmers, have been constructed to battle with the ticks, while appropriations have been raised for four more as soon as they may be built

II advocates classroom FecitatiOns,
book work, laboratory work and the
application of this work to practical
agriculture In selecting a particular
state, It has been shown how such q
plan may be definitely worked out,
and although the department does not
contemplate issuing publications on
this subject at this time for other
states It stands ready TO cooperate in
making studies as to agricultural and
