DELIGHTFUL
Poultry Show at iris ate Fair Prom
lses to Be One Of Greatest Sights
Ever See


The Poultry Show at the Tri-State
Fair is one department that has made
a nationwide name for itself. No
other poultry show in tr South COM
pares with il. either il number or
quality OF exhibits. Ovel 5000 birds
will be shown this year. Sept. % to
20. by the leading fanciers of America.
So great has been the increase in ex-
hibits it has been found necessary to
employ six experts to do the judging.
where two have. been used in former
years.
The judges this year will be:
E. c. Branch, Lees Summit, Mo.
H. P. Schwab, Rochester, y. Y.
Chas. V Keller, Winamac, Ind.

REGULAR TIME FOR FEEDING
Much Loss Occasioned by Variation in
Quantity Supplied to Various
Farm Animals.

A great deal of feed is wasted
through irregularity in the time of
feeding and variation in the quantity
in which il is supplied. On some days
the feed is given often hut on others
it is provided mt much longer inter
walls. Sometimes the quantity is liber-
al, Mt others it is scanty. In extreme
cases the feeding of the animal ranges
from feaSting to furnishing.
Wide variations in the quality OF
the feed also cause a great deal of
loss. Too often bulk is taken as this
standard of value.

cattle. Rarely an animal over
three years old is attacked. The dis

REMARKABLE SHOWING.

The touch of the master hand can
be seen in the revival of the Booth
Fisheriesp company. Only about five
years ago the old company went into
bankruptcy, and it was difficult to
find buyer for the property owned by
the concern. Finally a new company
was organized by Frank c. Let's, who
by the wayis president of the Western
Grocer Company, and the business re-
yived.
The statement of last years bust
ness just issued by the new company
makes the following remarkable show
ing: Net profits in 1916 were $1,65S,-
295 without including the profit made
in the sale of certain Detroit real es-
tate to the Pennsylvania railroad. This
is a gain of $616,525 over the earnings
for 1915. The surplus available for
dividends on the common stock after
deducting reserves equaled 1884 per
cent on the $5,O00,OOO issue, compared
with 3.37 per cent the previous year.

WARS ONE ADVANTAGE.

Whatever the outome of the Euro
pean war may be, one benefit will re-
suit. The battlefields, torn by high
explosives, will be more fertile than
before the war. The lands that were
soggy and sour will be sweetenef,
and the heavy clay sub-soils will be
greatly benefited.
Agriculturists and soil experts will
watch the crops of Belgium. France
and the other countries that have
been torn by the big shells to note
the effect of the nitrates that have
been forced into them at great press
ure. Before the war nitrates were
Injuries to the average European far
mer. To properly fertilize some of
the soils by common labor and ma
chinery would be prohibitive, but the
peasants who return to their lands
after peace has been declared will
find this work done for them.
Prof. F. ]. Away, head of the divis-
ion of soils at the Minnesota School
of Agriculture, says that the wars
high explosives will give new life to
the soil. The chief damage, as far
as the farms are concerned, is the
roughening of the field.
1T will take time and much labor
to level some of the fine fields that
were torn up by the shells, said Prof.
Away, but when they are level most
of them will be better fields The
chief value of the explosives will be
in the clay sub-soils.
Centuries OF intensive farming
have taken the vitality from such
fields. The shells will put some of
1t back. The nitrates which form
the base OF practically all the explo-
siyes used in the big shells, are the
most valuable fertilizers WEI have.
The great force of the explosions
sends the nitrates into the soils
and they will be held there until the
growing vegetation takes them out.

Chicago has awakened to realiZa-
ton of the fact that it has problem

Immigration Of colored people from
the south.
Leading ministers, social workers,
lawyers, physicians, teachers and
workers among the colored people
have united to drive vice out of the
black belt" secure better housing
conditions, work for home ownership,
extend church and social settlement
activities and to cooperate with en-
ployers of colored labor for the well
fare of the new arrivals. The aim is
to secure joint action between leaders
of both white and colored races to
work for social betterment, maintain
colonies for the negros and to elimi-
nate race prejudice.
1.-THE movement of the colored peo-
pie from the south is social as well as
economic" said the Rev. A. J. Carey,
pastor of the African Methodist Epis-
capal Institutional church today, land
therefore they have come to stay. This
fact is evident. in that many that come
have considerable money. A number
are buying their homes outright, some
paying as high as $1,000 for a home.
Disfranchise, lynching and limited edu
cational opportunities in the south are
responsible for much of the migration.
Most of the arrivals now are men
who have left their families behind un-
! til they can become settled and the
warmer weather comes on. In the
hundreds of women and children to ar
rive, forming the main portion of the
migration, instead of men, as hereto
fore.
I'VE expect the arrival of the WON
en- to help solve the demand for do
mestics in Chicago. Our people are
raised to that work, the women like
! il, and we are receiving hundreds of
calls for girls and women. We have
placed many, and they seem to give
satisfaction. We can't meet all the
calls now, but expect to be able to in
the course of few weeks"
Bishop, l.. ]. COppin of Philadelphia
in charge of the African Methodist
Episcopal churches in Chicago has ar
rived to plan for the extension of col
ored churches and their activities. Ar
rangements or erection of several new
buildings. Employment bureaus, read
ing rooms and social activities will be
started. Most of the colored churches
have added from so to 300 members
each during the past six weeks and
are crowded to the doors.
A Committee of 25" will seek
through large employers of colored
labor to arrange for the workers to
purchase their own homes, and to To-
cate them in colonies so that race pre-
judice will not be provoked by letting
them scatter through the city:

ed that the soil around the craters
was supplied with nitrates.
The old idea that the vibrations
.caused by the explosions killed some
of the bacteria that soured the lands
was dispelled by tests. Professor
Away said. The explosion in itself
has no effect on the soil.
Many of the lands have been she'll
ed for two years. These, experts
say, will show the greatest improve
ment if they are of the kind that will
be improved by nitrates. There is,
of course, the possibility that the
fragments OF the shells may hinder
the first plopghing, but this will be
rare. soil men say.
