The sending of an American de
stroyer flotilla into the war zone
would seem to have, had the effect
OF reducing marine insurance rates
somewhat, although the reductions are
slight. This applies to United King
dom sailings as both Mediterranean
and Havre rates are higher. There
has recently been considerably more
submarine activity in the Mediter-
ranean zone and there is nothing to
Indicate that this country is taking
hand in operations there. But there
IL still another influence at work,
which was pointed out by an under.
writer yesterday and which would
tend to keep rates high. His argu.
ment IL that as soon as Germany
realizes that this country has gone
into the war with all its might and
for the definite purpose OF defeating
Germany, there will be retaliatory
measures undertaken in the way of
submarine bombardments of our
coasts.

FEED. SHORTAGE

: A good many farmers who have
practiced the burning Of straw in the
past are going to utilize much this
year for feed. Straw is going into the
stack in splendid shape this fall 1t
has little rust on it and has not been
wet up by rains much while it was
growing and little since the grain was
cut. This straw will make splendid
feed for all classes of live. stock this
winter if some legume or good hay is
mixed with it, and a few pounds of
grain are fed. t.
Then too, there will be good de-
mand for straw from those communi.
ties which were not as fortunate as we
were in this region. Much straw ought
to find its way through the bailer to
the .drouth stricken regions.
1t is splendid thing to notice many
farmers hauling their grain up to the
barn where it is being threshed, fo1
this means that the straw will be near
enough to be utilized even when the
weather is not the best. On many
farms straw should be blown into
barns or hay sheds at time of thresh
ing.
Many farmers are running the hay
rake after the threshers along the
shock rows, in this way gathering W
bushels Of wheat and barley in the
straw, much Of which would be tota
waste if allowed to lie on the ground
These things show that a large mum
Der of farmers of this section are do
= ing what they can to conserve all thu
crop they have grown, and is certainly
to be commended.
