PLANS FOR MARKETING
OF YEARS SISAL CROP
Federal Trade Commission to Super
wise Distribution of
125.OOO Bales.

Supervision of the marke citing of what
is left of this years Yucatan sisal crop
has been started by the federal trade
commission in accordance with instruc-
tions given in Senate resolution re-
Gently adopted. The commission tele-
.raphed to all binder twine manufac-
turers in the country requesting an
estimate of their requirements for the
1916 season. About $4,000 bales are
TO be distributed.
All the binder twine interests were
in conference yesterday afternoon with
the commission. 1t was agreed to hold
deliveries of the sisal until June ! to
give the trade commission time to re-
port to the Senate on the situation
The report will be made within thirty
days
MANY orders have reached the trade
commission. The sisal will be sold at
cents delivered at gulf ports and at
u. at Atlantic coast ports. The com
mission reserves the right to change
this price if ocean freight rates are
raised.
The sisal will be distributed to no
manufacturers for making rope or
other twine than binder twine. Some
interests have charged shortage of
sisal was brought about by the use of
sisal in making rope because it is
cheaper than Manila fiber. which has
advanced since the European war be-
gan.
The trade comm ssion.it was ex-
planned. will make no effort actually
to distribute the sisal. 1t has no ma
chnery for such business. and the ac-
tual work will be done by agents of
the commission regulators.
General Manager Legge of the Inter-
national Harvester Company yesterday y
submitted to he Senate sisal investi-
eating committee figures to refute a
charge that the company by holding
over large stocks of sisal fiber and
hinder iWine from season to season
had caused an artificial shortage. The
hearing or charges of Il monopoly by
Nucatan planters will be continued to-
| morrow.

Making the Little
Farm Pay
By c. c. BOwSFIELD

Experiences are rapidly multiplying
to show the broadening of farm pro-
grams and the high earning power Of
land when it is properly managed.
There are many products which pay
5000 to $500 an acre under skillful cul-
tivation, and it becomes vitality nee
essary for those who are restricted to
few acres to devote themselves to
money making crops. The fact is cas-
lily demonstrated that the more profit
able commodities are almost as easily
raised as those which pay the least.
B. v. Egbert of Mercer county. Pa,
has made great success of two prod
ucts which can be depended on to re-
turn something between 500 and $500
an acre above the cost of labor. One
of these is tomatoes and the other ber-
ries, both of which naturally belong in
little farm scheme. Both are reason
ably prolific and sure, find ready sale
at fair prices and are not beyond ordi-
nary skill Berries may be made to
utilize odd places, unoccupied corners
or rough spots around the premises.
Mr.. Egbert's method of pruning to-
matoes is unusual and unique. He al
lows the plant to make four leaves,
then clips off the top. If cluster of
buds has formed it makes no differ
ence; they are not saved, as they sell
dom develop into perfect fruit The
effect of this topping is to cause four
strong side branches to form, one in
the aXil of each leaf. On these branch
es fruit cluster will develop in the
Camas Prairie chronicle. [volume] (Cottonwood, Idaho) 1901-1917, 1916-07-07
Poultry Tuberculosis.

Chickens are subject to tuberculosis.
Until recently there has been no test
that could be used in determining
whether a chicken had tuberculosis or
not. DIR. L. van Els of the North Da-
kota experiment station has discovered
a test similar to that used in testing
cattle for tuberculosis. When tubercu-
lin is injected into the skin of the wat
tie or comb very pronounced swell
ing develops in case the bird is tuber-
culous, while If it is free from it no
swelling results. The method is very
accurate when care is used.
One flock that was tested gave the
following results: Percentage tubercu-
lous, one year old, 3 1-3; two years old,
"a 1-3; three years old, 961a, and four
years old, S5%. The obvious lesson from
this is that the old birds are much
more affected than are the young ones

Freak Varieties of Fruits.

New and freak varieties of fruits are
frequently gold bricks" A new oil
freak variety of fruit has no place Oh
the average farm. The home orchard
list should be contented with the stand
ard varieties. Then when his trees
come into bearing he will have a real
orchard If new or freak varieties are
planted they will in about nine cases
out of ten be worthless. The farmer
should save his money and leave the
testing of unknown varieties to those
who can afford to do it. Later he can
profit by their experience.-C. w. Rapp,
Oklahoma Station.
