Consider Putting All
Contracts in Writing

One OF the most interesting discus
sions at the convention OF the Ma
tional association Real Estate Boards
at Milwaukee in July comes from the
renewing interest in many states fav-
oring the regulating OF real estate
agencies by registration or license.
There are number Of real estate
men who do not favor any such regu-
lation, holding that there is no reason
why real estate man should be re-
stricted in his dealings any more than
any other vocation. The requirement
in Nebraska that his listings should
be in writing singles out the real es-
tate business as a vocation. Dealers
in no other commodity are required
to put their contracts in writing be-
fore doing business, the verbal agree
ment being considered sufficient in
most cases. Other realtors believe a
license or registration, or some regis
tration, good thing. because it shuts
out the "curbstone" operator where
agents give little consideration to the
welfare OF clients.
Another feature of the Milwaukee
convention will be the further devel-
opment of the "realtor" idea and the
training and Distinguishing of an hon.
orable and fair real estate man and
the man who is doing business in a
business like way, from the Curb
stone" operator and others who are
irresponsible and whose methods can
not be controlled.

CHINESE FARMS ARE SMALL
Hardly More Than Gardens, But Gull
tiyation of Most Intensive Sort,

1t is incorrect to speak of the Chin
ese as farmers in the strict sense of
the word, for they are gardeners
rather than farmers. A so-called
Chinese farm is no larger than what
in America would be called a good
sized garden, and the methods of cul-
tivation are of the most intensive sort.
Generally speaking, it seems that
the greater the prosperity of the agri-
cultural family the larger the number
Of children; hence in turn the greater
the number Of mouths to feed. In adj
dition, prosperous conditions always
bring with them greater expenses in
cident to family festivities, such as
weddings, which stand out as all
important considerations in the lives
Of the Chinese.
In Manchuria the conditions are
somewhat different, for there are vast
stretches of land open to cultivation
on a much larger scale than in China
proper. These tracts are generally
worked by hired farmers, who come
in hundreds of thousands from the
more densely populated sections of
China to spend the short farming sea-
son in northern portions, returning
again when the cold weather makes
further labor in the fields impossible.

STARTLING DEMONSTRATION
Kentucky Firm Sets Fire to Plant
and Puts 1t Out With
Steam.

Would you be willing to set FIRE to
your place Of business, just to show
folks that it was amply provided with
fire-hghting equipmentf That is
what DR.. H. Z. Mechling, president
of the National Association Of Dyers
and Cleaners and head of the Swiss
Cleaners and Dyers OF Louisville, did
recently.
In accordance with a city ordi-
nance, the Swiss Dyers and Cleaners
had equipped their plant so that
steam might be used in extinguishing
gasoline fires. Other Louisville clean
ers we're arrested for failure to COM
|ply with the ordinance, and when
they were being tried the court did
not understand why steam was speci.
fed as an instrument to extinguish
| fire.
DR.. Mechling offered to demon
strate the efficacy Of his steam ex-
tinguishing equipment and the offer
was accepted. Ten gallons of gaso.
line were thrown on the floor and
walls of one of the rooms. Cleaning
machines were filled with gasoline
and then closed. A match was thrown
into the room and the gasoline burst
into flames.
| The heat caused the fire doors tc
close automatically, steam was turned
in through valve and in less thar
1.-TWO minutes the flames were extin
guished before any damage had beer
done.-Louisville Courier ournal.

BUY-A-HOME WEEK
ISPLANNED HERE
Realty Board Discusses the Ad-
visibility Of Starting It as
Soon as Possible.
VALUES INCREASING FAST

When will, Omaha have its "buy-
a-home-frst" campaign? The feeling
at Wednesdays meeting OF the real
estate board was that it should begin
as quickly as possible. A well-known
realtor called forth laugh and cheer
when he put his argument for an
early beginning of this campaign into
the terse sentence. "The sun will come
out bright and warm one of these
days and then it will be either vine
clad cottage or an automobile" The
conclusion was apparent that imme-
date steps must be taken to get the
money into the home rather than
into the car. ...- ...,
In the marketing of close-in prop
erty, which is rapidly advancing in
value, the question of the value of
the Improvements and what can be
done with them is constantly forced
to the front. There is feeling that
some of the old-time mansions, par
ticularly the more recently built, hav-
ing the large living room or the liv-
ing room and dining room thrown to-
gether, can be used for offices, small
club houses and for similar purposes.
High-class tailors, dressmakers or
milliners could afford to rent house
of this description, say east of Twen-
ty-sixth street on any of the leading
thoroughfares east and west at rate
that would pay some Of the interest
on the new valuation. Fraternity
houses are occasionally in demand and
art studios and other lines of bust
ness that do not necessarily need to
be crowded down into the. congested
business center. Most of these lots
are of considerable length and reach
to an alley. The back lot could be
utilized for garage purposes, small
manufacturers, and there is an in
creasing demand for small hotel prop
ositions where three, four or fve-story
buildings can be built on the rear,
with the old frontage still standing
until something better was demanded.
1t is an interesting study to note the
changes that have come into the
real estate market because of the ga
rage and the requirements Of the au-
tomobile and it is the opinion of good
judges that this demand is going to
increase and shall by no means be
satisfied. ...

RAILWAY POSTAL
CLERKS FEEL AXE
President of Association Re-
moved from Service Because
of Public Complaints.
CONDITION GETTING WORSE

Railway postal clerks are begin
ling to pay for their. share of the
agitation and protest against the de-
lay in mail service incident to the
policy of sorting at terminals instead
Of on trains. A committee of the
local association Of clerks gives The
Bee this statement:
Reports have come 10 railway pos
tai clerks in Omaha that E. ]. Ryan,
president Of the Railway Mail asso-
citation, has been removed from the
service. This action on behalf of the
department is in keeping with the
charges heretofore made that clerks
who would inform the public as to
how its mail is being delayed are sub
ject to removal. Clerks are also in
formed that supervisory official at
Cheyenne has been removed because
Of the unpleasant notoriety the Post
office department was receiving by
the Cheyenne press. .. ...
Conditions Becoming Worse.
Conditions in the service are be-
coming more serious day by day and
the department is resorting to these
intimidatirfe methods of making ex-
amples of certain clerks to keep the
others from disclosing any informa-
ton concerning the service. Every
business man in Omaha should take
particular note of his incoming and
outgoing mail and make complaint to
the department when il is evident that
it is being delayed. At the Railway
Mail association convention held in
Omaha last week resolutions were
adopted asking for a congressional in
vestigation of the whole service. The
department fears such action and
their fear is further evidence that
conditions in the service are not as
they should be. The public is the
sufferer, and only when the public
wakes up TO the fact and makes their
protest felt, will the experimenters be
forced to show their hands. Let any
business man who doubts go to the
Council Bluffs terminal and see the
piles of mail that is taken off trains
and delayed all the way from twelve
hours to fifteen days"

4 Difference IN |
THE INVESTMENT
The Western Canada Farm Prof.
its Are Away in Excess.

Mr.. George III. Barr, of Iowa, holds
seven sections of land in Saskatche-
wan. These he has fenced and rent
ed, either for pasture or cultivation,
all paying good interest on the invest
ment.
Mr.. Barr says that farm land at
home in Iowa is held at $3.50 per acre.
These lands are in high state of cul-
tivation, with splendid Improvements
in houses, barns, stables and silos, and
yet, the revenue returns from them are
only from two to three per cent per
annum on investment.
Last year, 1915, his half share of
crop on quarter section in Saskatche-
wan, wheat 9n new breaking, gave him
80 per cep I the capital invested
$500 ar =. The crop yield was
80 busf acre. This year the
same qua.,er-section, sown to Red
Fife on stubble gave 1886 bushels. His
share, 1,6f3 bushels of i Northern at
S1.5G per bushel, gave him S2,563.0S.
Seed, half the twine and half the
threshing bill cost him $45300. Allow
ing share of the expense of his an
nual inspection trip, charged TO this
quarter-section even to $1,000, and he
has left $2,000.00, that is 80 per cent
of the original cost of the land. Any
one can figure up that another aver
age crop will pay, not or per cent
on investment, as in Iowa, but the
total price of the land. Mr.. Barr says:
"That's no joke now"
Mr.. Barr was instrumental in bring
Ing q number Of farmers from Iowa to
saskatchewan in 1913. He referred to
one of them, Geo. H. Kerton, tenant
farmer in Iowa. He bought quarter
section Of improved land at $1,000 an
acre near Hanley. From proceeds OF
crop in 1914, 1915, 1916, he has paid
for the land. Mr.. Barr asked him
week ago: "Well, George, what shall
/ tell friends down home for you"
The reply wasy "Tell them I shall
never go back To be a tenant for any
man." Another man, Charles Haight.
realized $4,000 in cash for his wheat
crops in 1915 and 1916.
Mr.. Barr when at hoAo devotes
most OF his time to raising and DEAL
ing in live stock. On his first visit OF
inspection to Saskatchewan, he real
lied the opportunity there was here
for grazing cattle. So his quarter
sections, not occupied, were fenced
and rented as pasture lands to farm
ers adjoining. His creed is: Let ma
ture supply the feed all summer, while
cattle are growing, and then in the
fall, take them to farmsteads to be
I finished for market. There is money
! In it."--Advertisement.

RIGHT METHOD OF GRATING
Be Ready in Spring When Sap Begins
to Run-Mild, Showery Day =
Best When Possible.

Each year at this time we print our
method of grating, which is as fol-
lows: When in the spring the sap be-
gins to move in the stock, be ready !;
this occurs early in the plum and cher
ry, and later in the pear and apple.
DO the grating, If possible, on a mild
lay during showery weather. The
necessary tools are a chisel, or a thick
bladed knife or grating iron (with
which to split open the stock after
it is sawed off smoothly with fine
tooth saw, hammer or mallet to aid
the splitting process, very sharp
knife to trim the scions, and a supply
of good grating wax. Saw off branch

France Equipped Slavs.

When the Russians came. to France
they did not bring arms with them,
and it was therefore not only neces-
sary to arm them throughout with the
French weapons, but to instruct them
in the French tactics and methods of
warfare. All this they have mastered
as readily as they have the language.
The entire Russian army, while re-
tanning its national uniform, has been
equipped throughout with the famous
French steel helmet, which bears in
front, however, the Russian coat Of
arms instead of that of the French Re-
public. The helmets are painted brown,
the same as those furnished the Bel
gian army, and, together with the long,
brown overcoats, give to the Russian
army very much the same general ap-
pearance as that of the Belgian army,
although never for an instant do the
Russians lose the swinging march or
other characteristics that mark them
as soldiers of the czar.-Paris Patrie.

apply grating wax. Each scion should
be long enough to have two or three
buds, with the lower one placed as

the scion securely in place, and there
fcre tying should be unnecessary. 1t
both scions in cleft grow, one may

FERTILIZER FOR AN ORCHARD
Question Is Deserving of Careful Con-
sideration Especially Where Thin
Soils Are Met.

The question of fertilizing deserves
careful consideration, particularly. If
the orchards are on thin soils. Stable
manure is usually out of the question
as the manure made from the work
ing stock on the average fruit farm
does not go far even when applied
only in small quantities about each
tree.
Usually the cost of stock-yard or
stable manure shipped by rail is pro-
hibitive by the time freight and cost
of hauling from the railroad are added
to the original cost.
Feeding cattle during the winter Is
not satisfactory when the orchardist
has all his feed to buy. Cover croPs
help out greatly, but do not afford suf-
ficient plant food for a bearing peach
or apple orchard.

ORCHARD PRUNED IN WINTER
No Difference In Growth and Maturity
Seen Where Work Done Between
November and May.

Fruit growers do not need to wait
until spring to prune their orchards,
says w. c. Brierley Of the division of
horticulture at University farm. Re
suits at University farm show little or
no difference in the growth and matur-
ity of the wood where pruning has been
done any time between November and
May.
If the usual care is taken to make
the cuts close to the main trunk or
branches no stubs will be left to die
and decay, though the covering of
wounds with white lead and oil paint
or with common grating wax warmed
to the consistency of cold molasses
will give added protection.
Moderate pruning is better than
heavy cutting.
