c. II. Moore Of the federal bureau Of
mines. Is in the field from the Muskogee
office. Mr.. Moore is looking after the
leases IN the field that belong TO re-
stricted Indians. In speaking Of his
work, Mr. Moore said that he had found
the Healdton operators TO be the clever
est bunch Of oil men he had ever met.
that they are giving him every cooper
alton he could ask, that he had found
some important work TO do and the
lease owners have helped him in placing
all properties in the finest Of condition.
Mr. Moore Is a practical OIL man, equip
ped for the office he holds by twenty.
three years OF labor in the oil fields Of
the United States. Together with his

EDGERTON, WIS.,, Feb. is, 1917.
Winter is still with us and no present
indications of soft weather that will
permit growers chance to remove the
balance of their tobacco from the sheds
and complete the marketing of the
crop. More than half the crop in the
northern growing sections is yet to be
stripped and packing operations there
is practically suspended, awaiting cas-
ing weather. Considerable tobacco has
been received during the week in local
markets, enough to keep the ware
houses running for the present. How
ever, it begins to look as if the handling
season would be carried we'll into
spring this year.
There is strong demand for old leaf

but transactions are generally of small

SPRINGFIELD, MASS, Feb. 5, 1917.
Prices of cottonseed meal, thousands
of tons of which are required for fer
tilizer, and of the cheesecloth covering
for Shaded tobacco have climbed to un-
dreamed-of heights. Growers declare
that buyers might as well prepare
themselves now for decidedly higher
range of prices if the 1917 crop is any,
thing like an average yield in quality.
Connecticut Valley tobacco growers
living in Massachusetts have prevailed
upon the Agricultural Committee of
the Massachusetts legislature to report
favorably on an appropriation of $2500
for experimental work in raising to-
bacco with the idea of getting line on
difficulties which have beset Massach-
usetts tobacco growers in recent years.
The chief concern arises from calico
and a root disease. Difference of opin-
ion exists in some quarters as to
whether the root disease in most cases
is anything more than deterioration due
to too much rain. Thousands of acres
of yellow tobacco in 1915 were gener-
ally attributed to the ten or twelve
inches of rain which fell in five weeks.
Large areas of tobacco were so satur-
ated that the water stood in pools in
the fields for days at time. Identical
conditions prevailed in 1897 which has
become historic as year of yellow to-
bacco-in some respects. the poorest
crop ever raised in New England.

The customary January thaw failed
to materialize this year, and as con-
sequence there is much disappointment
in both country and town. Monday, a
week ago, was mild and gave promise
of softness and warmth sufficient to
admit of taking tobacco from the poles.
Quick change of atmosphere, which is
common this winter, prevented re-
moval of the weed. The local ware
houses are cleaned up and must await
delivery of goods before work can be
renewed. At the best, packing houses
will of necessity be operated well into
the early summer.
A good percentage of the crop is
under contract, but severe weather
conditions for almost two months have
kept local and outside buyers out of the
growing districts. Censor.

NOTE sook SKETCHES

Considerable complaint is heard from
packers that the farmers are not clean
ing out the filters, trash, frosted and
damaged leaves as they ought consid-
ering the prices paid for the 1916 crop.
Of course there is quite a discrepancy
between the prices paid for binder
grades and for filters, frozen and trash
which is supposed to be taken out and
bundled separately at stripping. When
it is found on delivery that as high as
10 to IL per cent of filters and other
low grades are left in the binder bun
dies, to be eliminated at the sorting
tables, packers find they have been
paying rather stiff prices for grades
that should have been weighed in at a
different rate But it is generally too
late then to remedy the defect and the
packer pockets his loss with the deter
mination to be wiser next time. But
history repeats itself just the same.
The temptation is always stronger to
<tstuff the returns when prices are
high and will always remain so. About
the only recourse left to the dealer, If
he is determined not to be bilked, is to
refuse to join in the chase of field buy
ing land wait until the crop is in the
bundle before making his purchases.
Otherwise he is quite likely to have to
putSup with the imposition until such a
time as saner methods of buying pre-
vail. It is hard to believe that the to-
bacco grower should not be possessed
of as much common honesty as the av-
.erage individual, however.

1t is claimed that not less than 81

1t is not difficult to distinguish be-

Incubator chicks are the most suscep-
tible and the disease usually appears
within the first three days after they
are Matched. At least 80 per cent of
chickens affected die.
The treatment must be preventive.
The cause must be removed and sani-
tation is practically the whole thing.
The incubatOrs and breeders should be

water in which a disinfectant has
been added. They should then be fur

ARE MORE INDEPENDENT NOW
One Effect Of the War on the Women
of France Is to "American-
ize" Them.

In a general way one might say that
the war has to some extent American
lied the women of France. That is,
in the sense of our current expression
"a PAmericaine," it has given her more
freedom of action, more independence
in manners and spirit. 1t has elm
inated-especially as far as young
girls are cOncerned-many little con-
ventiOns which really tended to become
less rigorous anyway, but which the
strong winds of the last two years
happenings have entirely blown away.
Some twenty years ago the daugh-
tiers of good families began to acquire
the right to take walk without a
chaperone, something unheard-Of, I'M
imaginable, to their mothers. Now
they fare forth unattended to the hos
pitfalls, to their works of charity, which
have multiplied greatly during the
war.
But it is their relations to the young
men that have undergone the most
radical changes. MademOiselle keeps
up correspondence with her god

in the army. The ever-present thought
that these young men may at any mo-

everyone, and so parents have accord

now had refused.-CartOons Magazine

USE INCUBATORs FOR DUCKS
As Pekin and Runner Rarely Show Dis
position to Sit, Artificial
Means Are Used.

On commercial duck farms most Of
the Matching is done in incubatOrs, for
the Pekin and Runner rarely sit. On
farms where no incubator is available,
the eggs are usually Matched under
hens. The period of incubation is a
week longer than that of hens eggs,
and, for this reason, the hen must be
well cared for. While ducks are easier
to brood artificially than chickens, they
may also be raised successfully under
hens. In the latter case. it is better to
confine the hens and to allow the duck
lings free range. Birds that are in
tended for sale as green ducks, how
ever, are not usually allowed much
range, but are fed heavily and forced
for rapid growth. The brooders and
brOOding systems used for chickens
give good results in rearing ducklings,
although the latter do not require as
high temperature.

KEEP DUCKS DRY IN WINTER
Fowls on Many Farms Receive Shabby
Treatment During Cold Weather
Give Them Dry Beds.

On many farms, ducks receive
shabby treatment through the winter.
Because they are water fowl the
assumption seems to be that they can
stand any amount Of water. Big pans
in the duck runs are stopped over I'M
til the litter is thoroughly wet; the
ducks cannot find dry place to sleep
In, and when they go lame as a natur-
al consequence, their owners wonder
what disease has attacked them.
Ducks require dry bed. They can
stand good deal of cold, and some
neglect as TO food, but dryness at night
they must have If they are to thrive.
Another cause Of laneness in ducks
Is careless handling. Do not pick up
a duck by the legs. Grasp 1t by the
neck If you would avoid lameness.
