AGRICULTURAL NOTES.
By O. Neraal Teacher Of Agriculture,
Warren High School

modern methods considerable capital
is needed for machinery, for building
up herd of live stock, and for
fences, buildings and supplies, etc.,
and the returns from such invest
ments are comparatively slow and
the farmer is therefore at a disad-
vantage in borrowing money thru
the usual channels. According to the
Wisconsin survey, farmers having a
working capital amounting to less
than 20 per cent Of the total invest
ment make little if any profit. The
largest profit was made by those who
had a working capital Of from 80 to
| 40 per cent of the total investment.
The farmer has no counter over
which the money flows regularly
every day. Most of the operations
take comparatively long time to
mature and from which returns can
be realized. Money is also difficult
to obtain in many instances and the
rates are high. Hence, some form Of
cooperation scheme is desirable that
will give the farmer control over his
enterprises and stimulate interest in
the business side of farming.
In Germany we have the Lands
chaften, Raiffeisen system, and the
mortgage banks. The Landschaften
in modified form is also in vogue in
Hungary, Russia, Austria, Switzer-
land, Denmark and Rumania. In
France you may find the Credit Fon-
cier which is practically mortgage
bank and the Credit Agricole. In
Canada they have the Classes Popu-
laires Of Quebec.
Among the states having rural
credit systems the following may be
mentioned: Massachusetts, Texas,
Wisconsin, and Oklahoma. More will
be said about this subject in the next
issue. 80. II
The School Farm has fresh vege-
tables for sale. These are sold every
forenoon on the grounds.

Crop Reports

"The total yield of corn and small
grain for this year is estimated by
the Governments July Report to be
5,191 100000 bushels. This is a IL
per cent decrease from the final es-
innate of last year. The winter
wheat is about all cut, in the states
growing that grain to any extent
and threshing has been under way
for some time. The total estimated
yield of winter wheat is $4,000, O00
bushels for 1916, which is a de-
crease Of rs per lent from last years
crop. The farm carry-over from last
crop is estimated at 73,760,0OO bu.'
If this wet weather will continue
very much longer, this vicinity at
least will have a much lighter crop
than last year.
The Senate denunciates the dis
tribution of free seed and I trust that
farce will be discontinued.
Cooperative Shipping in Minnesota
From the bulletin on "Co-operative
Live Stock Shipping Associations
the following may be cleaned:
Minnesota is doing a business of
nearly $18,0OO,O00 with scarcely a
complaint Of management of prices
ind with a saving frequently amount
ling to $50 to $50 a carload over the
prices offered by local buyers, which
is a splendid showing when one con-
siders the fact that there is scarcely
a dollar invested. Live stock ship
per's associations in Minnesota are
organized without capital. They dc
not buy anything and they give no
credit. The manager is simply a
personal agent Of the seller and is
paid from to 7 cents a cwt. for
his services. Ordinarily a car is
shipped and sold at cost of SIS
which is saving of $50 over the old
system. ...
Ergot and Rye
Ergot does not appear on rye OF
any of the grasses before the seeds
begin to form. Rye hay therefrom, il
cut during the Towering stage, is
harmless, For feeding purposes it is
equal to barley hay and somewhat
better than that cut from wheat OF
oats. Rye grain has very much the
same composition as wheat or corr
but does not produce very good re.
suits if fed exclusively for any
length Of time. It is of very little
value for chicken feed.

CANAL TO Be USED SOON
Gen. Goethals Expects Reopening of
Waterway at the Isthmus to
Light Draft Vessels.

PANAMA, January 15.-Maj Gen.
George w. Goethals. governor of the
Canal Zone, is preparing to issue a state
ment relative TO the condition of the

had named a special board composed of
Lieut.. Col. Jay j. Morrow, w. p. Comber,
head of dredging operations of the canal,
and Commander Hutch /. Cone, to study
conditions at the Gaillard cut, where the
canal is blocked by landslide. Upon the
report of this board. Maj. Gen. Goethals
said he will base his contemplated state
ment.
1t Is understood that Notifications for
which appropriations are likely to be made
will include forts on the Taboga and Atoke
Islands, and also at Minefield and on the
Pearl Islands. The construction of a
modern fertilization on the site of the
ancient town of San Lorenzo, at the
mouth of the Chagres river, also is under
stood to be under consideration.
According to canal engineers. conditions
at the Gaillard cut are most ENCOURAGING.
and it is expected that the canal at this
point will be reopened to smaller vessels
