Baxter Says Hoarding
t.I SpeCuIator Must Go

"The boarding speculator must go,
but that need not destroy present
markets and methods of handling ag-
ricultural products" William F. Bax-
ter of the Thomas Fitzpatrick COM
pany, at the Rome hotel at the last
session of the conservation congress.
Il do not believe that the best in
terests of all will be attained by FIX
ing prices, but rather that the power
of the government should be exer-
cised in gathering and distributing
accurate information q regarding in
dustrial and agricultural conditions.
That information should be known
by the public and be accurate and
of unquestioned character. My theory
is that if every person interested has
reliable information he is just as good
a judge of how to use it as would
be government official.
II would favor the government
controlling every storage warehouse
and elevator and issuing warehouse
receipts for deposits, giving the pub
lie constantly information as to the
actual supply, so that the farmers and
others might have a reliable basis on
which to dispose Of their products,
Markets should be maintained
free from monopolistic boarding and
free from waste and excess profit
This policy-facilitating unrestricted
commerce--is in my judgment pref
cradle to the other option--that Of
arbitrary taking over of goods and
the fixing of prices"

Wool, wool, and more wool, is

If you are thinking of digging such

come out in China at all. You will
come out in the Indian ocean, at least
5000 miles from China. That's where
you'd come out.

The idea is excellent Mr.. Lorehtz

ABOUT PRUNING SHRUBS
BY L. M. BENNINGTON.

In pruning shrubs it should be re-
memb~ed that there are two classes
One produces the flowers from buds
formed the previous season. Another
class from buds on the new wood of

Weigelia, lilacs, syringas, golden

kalmias, azaleas, daphnes and the
Towering currant, peach and crab, an
dromedas, Japan ounce. and hydran-
gea are some of the most generally
used shrubs that flower on the last

these at this season the following buds
will be cut away.
Roses, burning bush, altheas, hyperi-
cum, hydrangeas grandifiora and pani-
culata, amorpha or false indigo, ge-
nesta, colutea and robina all flower
on the present seasons growth and in
most cases they will flower more free
~ If severely cut back.
In pruning, be careful to make the
cut CLOSE to the trunk. To prevent in
jury to the tree, first saw through
large branches from below. six or
eight inches away from the trunk +;
then saw from the top a few inches
nearer the trunk until the limb falls.
Then make a new cut close to the
trunk. This will prevent splitting and
possibly tearing away a part of the
tree.
In pruning. small limbs and shrubs,
make the cut just above the bud

crops our farmers can grow is velvet
beans. Crushed velvet beans in the

The meal from the beans in the hulls
is worth about one-half as much as

pounds of beans in the hull were har-
vested per acre. ut the Mcneil branch
station, and it has been no trouble to
make as much as 5000 pounds to the

as a good hand can pick from 500 to
