Back to the Cottages.

One thing which has undoubtedly
been very potent factor in the re
duction in the per capita consumption
Of lumber has been the growing ten
dency of our urban population to con-
gregate themselves into apartments,
fats and tenements. A generation
back the fat was a distinct innova-
ton. The average householder had his
mind set on a cottage in the suburbs,
generally Of frame construction. Such
a mode of existence combined the ira
ditional comforts of home with the
pride Of ownership and the enjoyment
which results from having house TO
oneself with bit Of land surrounding
it. green grass growing in front and a
garden in the back yard, the neighbor's
chickens permitting. Now, however,
reaction appears to be setting in. The
public appears to have reached point
Of approximation on the fiat ques-
ton. There is a growing movement
back TO the cottages. Recent reports
from the cities on the Great Lakes
comment on the increasing number Of
small frame dwellings being built in
the suburbs, as compared with the
gradual decrease in the volume Of
apartment building. This tendency is
also notable in other large cities

Texas and Peanuts.

The Texas Industrial Congress, the
business mems organization for pre-
noting more profitable farming in the
state, has been calling attention 70
the peanut for several years. Inc
growing of peanuts was included N
the contests for most profitable pro-
duction, initiated by Colonel Henry
Exall in 1911, and for which prizes az
gregating $4,000 in gold are offered
each year. Many other agencies, IN
GLIDING the press of the state, inc
bankers and commercial bodies, have
exerted themselves as soon as the pos
sbilities of the peanut in oil procue'
ton came to be understood. AS a r.
suit of this work there will be 25O,OOV
to 10000 acres Of peanuts grown -
Texas this year, with a possible OIL
output equal to one-twelfth OF the eN'
pected yield of cotton oil. II tn'
growers supply the mill men with q
good quality OF mature nuts, reason
ably free from dirt and waste, and II
no other unforeseen factor appears %
cause dissatisfaction and loss. il is only
reasonable 10 anticipate a much great
err planting next year without ma
terial reduction of the cotton crop, that
now requires about 100000 acres OF

FAILS
TO HURT TRADE
Report from the Chamber
of Commerce of the
United States.

Washington, Aug. 13.-With the
buying mostly for immediate needs and
apparently little speculation, there ap-
pears to be almost an entire absence Of
any concern as to the effect upon bust
ress either of the Presidential cleo
ton, the possible coming Of peace in
/. Europe or any other factors of pos
sible disturbance.
Such is the opinion expressed by the
committee on statistics and standards
of the Chamber of Commerce of the
United States, Of which A. W. Douglas,
of ST. Louis, is chairman.
The total yield of winter wheat will
be approximately between 465.000,0O0
and 475,OOo,O00 bushels. The quality is
excellent.
An estimate Of the final pro-
duction Of corn, due to the
varied weather conditions. is largely
approximate at best but it does not
seem likely at this time, the committee
reports, lndN IL Sdl Dc icoS bHah
ZOO, OO0, 900 bushels. and it may run
as high as $3.50. 900 bushels, or APP
proximately the average yield for the
last ten years.
Oats, barley, fax and rye all show
the spotted conditions prevalent in this
years crops. On the whole. however,
hnn he afra
yields. Flax, II is predicted will exceed
the yield of last year. Rice is general
ly good in California, Texas, Arkansas
and Louisiana. Potatoes promise a nor
nal crop, with the sweet variety max
ing excellent progress. Truck garden
crops as a whole have been very good
! in most sections.
The cotton crop has received its full
share of the vicissitudes of weather
the committee reports, and has suffered
accordingly, notwithstanding an acre
eye which is approximately II per
cent greater than last year.
The story of cattle, according to the
National Chamber committee, is gener-
ally of high prices and satisfactory
conditions in most states, though the
ranges in the Southwest, West and
Northwest need rain. Equally salts
factory is the report on sheep and
wool. Hogs are steadily increasing.
Everywhere the dairy industry is
growing. The same is true with re-
gard to poultry.
