SAME OLD CAREY!
Hutchinson Salt Packer Here, Happy
Because 1t Rained One Day.

Emerson Carey of Hutchinson, life
long enemy of the Kansas Free State
Fair in Topeka, came to town We'd
nesday to scott. 1t is probable he re-
pray for a fair for the salt town that
will compare with the big show on
South Topeka avenue.
In the state house Carey rubbed
his hands in childish glee as he
watched the first Wednesday down
pour. He was simply overloaded with
happiness. His smiling jabs at the
big Topeka show recalled the days of
bitter legislative war when Carey led
the fight for the Hutchinson show
and in a spirit of jealousy was held in
directly. responsible for the Price
amendment which removed the word
state" from the Topeka appropria-
ton bill. 49,
Carey hadn't visited the fair
grounds where thousands Of visitors
taxed the capacity of the stands and
viewe1 the exhibits. In the midst of
Carey's sarcasm, state house en-
ploye asked Carey to explain the need
for double barreled admissions al the
Hutchinson show when the state Is
asked to pay the bills at each session
of the legislature: But Carey came
to scott and he didn't defend the ac-
ton of the Hutchinson management
in taxing the property owners for the
salt town fair and levying a second
tax when they came to view the show
for which they had already paid.
1t is probable Carey, who directs the
million dollar salt plant operations at
Hutchinson, owns the street railway
system, a daily newspaper and is one
of the heaviest tax payers in western
Kansas, remained in Topeka for to-
days fair. If so. he will probably go
home with a fervent prayer for a
Hutchinson show that will at least
compete with the Topeka offering.

HENS ARE LADIES
Keep Their Houses Clean To
Get Best Results.
All Poultry Must Be Kept
Comfortable To Pay.

Manhattan, Kan, Sept. ia clean,
we'll ventilated hen house is an essen
tial in profitable poultry keeping, ac-
cording to n. L. Harris, superintend-
ent of the poultry plant at the Kansas
State Agricultural college.
No element is more neglected than
proper care of the hen house, believes
Mr.. Harris. One essential in keeping
the house in a sanitary condition is
damp, poorly ventilated building is
one of the most potent causes of weak
ened constitutions in fowls, and a re-
sulting diseased condition.
The house should be disinfected
thoroly in warm weather at least every
ten days. The disinfectant may be
any of the commercial stock dips
mixed with water to strength of 3
per cent, or a solution of water, crude
carbofic acid and kerosene.
Neglect in the Fall.
The fact that other activities, espe-
cially on the farm, require great deal
of attention at this season leads to a
neglect of the poultry house. A weak
ened condition, due to poorly cleaned
houses, does not Immediately affect
the income. The results often are not
noticed until the melting period when
the fowls are more debilitated than at
any other season.
It is a well known fact that COM
fort among poultry is the keynote to
success. Birds confined in houses in
tested with vermin as a result of un-
sanitary conditions are not comforta-
BILE and will not return profit for work
or investment. The house should be
So constructed as to allow circulation
of fresh air, and where possible a
liberal supply of sunshine. Sunshine
should penetrate to all roosting quar-
tiers of the hen house since sunshine
is unequaled as a germicide. 1t is
not advisable to have the front of the
house so open as to allow the wind to
blow directly on the fowls, but they
breathe much more rapidly than many
other animals, hence require large
quantities of oxygen.
Applies to All Poultry.
This applies alike to growing chicks
and mature fowls. They are often
confined in small, poorly ventilated
coops from which they emerge in the
morning in a semi-stupid state due to
lack of oxygen during the night.
In all matter pertaining to the care
of the poultry house, attention should
be given to the comfort of the fowls
since this one essential to success
full poultry culture.

ReAexes Of War

Prior to 1914 the Chilean state rail-
ways used to consume very large
quantities of English, Australian and
American coal, but since the COM
mencement of the war only Chilean
coal has been used. In 1918 $4,000
tons of coal were consumed in work
ing the state railways, and only about
one-half of this was Chilean. The
total haulage of goods and passenger
trains during said year was $50, 469,l7l
tons kilometre, so that the consump-
ton per ton kilometre was 0.555s
During 1915 when Chilean coal alone
was consumed, the total haulage was
832, 100000, with $751; 20 tons of coal,
resulting in a consumption OF O.i459
Kilograms per ton kilometre, being a
saving OF 1870 per cent. Chilean coal
has improved very much in quality
during the last ten years, being now
more carefully selected and screened
by the mine owners, and also on &C
count of more strict conditions of the
railway authorities. The locomotives
used in Chile have not been con-
structed with their fire CRATES arranged
for burning the native coal, yet such
satisfactory results have been OBJ
tanned that the saving would have been
still greater if their hearths had been
specially constructed so as to obtain
the best advantage Of the great caloric
power Of the native coal.
A recently issued royal decree pro-
hibits the use in Sweden of electricity

The Imperial Munitions Board OF
Canada has confirmed the published
statement that it has authorized the
Algoma Steel Corporation and the Do
mnion Iron and Steel Company to
roll $4,000 tons of standard section
rails. The board does not state what
is to be done with these rails, but it is
believed they will be distributed
among Canadian railroads which
helped the Dominion government last
year by taking up rails which were in
track and shipping them across the At
lantic for use in the war zone. These
roads were unable to secure new rails
from mills in the United States. 1t is
stated the 10000 tons will be distrib
uted among the Canadian Pacific, the

I'm RESPONSE to an inquiry F.
w. Foote, vice-president of the
First National Bank of Com
merce of Hattiesburg, Miss, one Of
the best informed bankers in the
South, writes as follows:
"You can with safety deny the
report that Southern banks are dis
couraging the diversification of crops
and refusing to advance farmers ex-
cept on a basis of cotton acreage.
This statement is so untrue that it
sounds like the utterance of an enc
my. Take this bank, for instance.
Never before in its history have we
attempted the ordinary plan of as
sisting farmers. Heretofore we have
only made loans TO such farmers as
could furnish personal security, or
make what has been regarded as
commercial paper. This year we an
nounced the policy of making unlim-
tied mortgage loans to farmers for
the purpose Of making this years
crops, and we have not refused a
worthy applicant. In each and every
instance we have declined TO make
these loans unless the farmers could
show that they were diversifying to
reasonable extent. We were not,
and are not, willing to advance farm
ers who stake the entire issue on one
crop. Banks cannot afford to lend
money to people who cannot return
it. Farms taken for debts will not
pay deposits and will not make new
working capital. Therefore we have
endeavored to require that these
farmers have mich cows, working
stock, garden and the principal
acreage devoted to grain crops.
81 do not know Of any banks that
have exerted their influence to in
crease cotton acreage. Boil weevils
are such a menace, and the question
of meat and bread Is 80 very press
ing, that all the banks l know any
thing about are calculating that
there is an extreme hazard attached
to growing cotton; that the meat and
bread problem has the right of way
by every moral and economic princi-
pie, and are shaping their affairs &C
cordingly. OF course, there may be
an occasional exception, and we ap-
preciate that sometimes a whole peo-
pie are Judged by the errors and
wrongdoings Of few"

subject agrees, first, that the cotton
crop should be reduced; second, that
food crops should be increased. &.
The average one-horse farmer now
plants, say. twenty acres OF cotton
and four acres of grain (corn and
oats). Let his merchant and land
lord insist on his planting this year
six acres or more of corn and elgh-
teen acres or less of cotton. Z.
Next year (191s) have him plant
nine acres of corn with velvet beans
and fifteen acres of cotton. -
Till. ain 1919 the corn and velvet
bean crop should be increased to
twelve acres and the cotton reduced
TO twelve. II is not mainly a
question Of philanthropy; it is one
Of actual bread and butter, in which
the banker, merchant and profess
sional man is just as much interested
as is the farmer" Written by a
South Carlinian, done into print and
used for large-scale, banking distri-
button by the Fifth District Federal
Reserve Bank, Richmond.
In another letter to the Southern
banks this institution says: "a World
in Need Of Food: The community of
interest which has always existed IN
the crop-raising districts of this
country between bankers and farm
ers has grown beyond localities and
has become countrywide Again
they say, Of farmers as well as to
them: Strenuous efforts are being
made for a full crop, food products
receiving more widespread atten-
ton, and tho yield of garden prod
ucts promises to be beyond anything
ever before attained. The production
Of truck crops along the seaboard,
particularly potatoes, has been I'M
usually heavy and profitable. Many
banks are advertising to help, espe-
cially those who are planting food
crops"

Gated. and the Southern banker is
stepping out and meeting him. VISIT
the Southland you will see that one
has been persuaded; and that the
other is aiding him, as surely as the
dollar, wisely apportioned and judi
ciously employed, may contribute to
the working of the land. The finan-
cier and farmer join hands to grow
more food. They use two slogans:
produce" and Save" These bank
ing institutions of the South are we'll

the United States the master-gar-
dener of the world.

To Study Market for
Jewelry in South America

An investigation of South American
markets for jewelry and silverware has
been undertaken BY the government
through the Bureau OF Foreign and
Domestic Commerce. The object is to
obtain for our jewellers and silver
smiths the information they need to
take advantage of the opportunity in
Latin America which has resulted from
the shutting off Of former European
sources of supply. The investigation
will be carried out by S. W. Rosenthal,
of New York, an experienced jeweller
who has devoted several years to the
export end of the business.

Liquidation in the bond market
made further progress last week. The
average price of ten high grade 4 per
cent bond issues went to 5000. This
level has been equaled only once dur
ing the war period, when the same
figures were made by the average at
one stage in 1915. The general bond
market began its lest important rise
in September, 1916, when the upward
movement proceeded without much
interruption until January, when the
composite price of the issues used In
The Tribune's average touched 81,
which was the highest level in some
wears. Almost Immediately after the
turn of the year the decline set in
which has continued with scarcely a
break ever since. 1t is worth noting
that the current declining move
ment in bond prices had its inception
at time when money rates were be-
ginning to display increasing firm
ness. This tendency has continued,
and while bond prices have been es-
tablished at low record levels during
the last week, money rates have
touched the highest level of the year.

Full Aid
To the Farmer
I sent summing-up Of some ad-
verse reports to Caldwell Hardy,
chairman and Federal Reserve
agent of the Reserve Bank at Rich
mond. Mr.. Hardy is worth quoting:
"The publication of such informa-
ton, the incorrectness Of which could
have been readily ascertained, IS
most censurable. Southern banks, so
far from discouraging diversified
ton Of crops, have been urging it by
every possible means. No discrimi-
nation has been made against ne
croes in the matter of loans. Credit
is naturally based on responsibility,
character and standing, but when
these requirements have been rea-
sonably met, negroes have readily
obtained credit.
1.-THE president Of country bank
happened in this morning and /
showed him your letter, and he at
once gave me a large number of con-
crete instances which refute the
above statements. Among others he
mentioned the instance of a negro
farmer, who owns his farm, who had
applied to him for a loan Of $500.
He asked him why he needed so
much money, to which the negro
replied that he wanted to pay cash
for his fertilizer in order to obtain
the benefit Of the cash price. The
loan was granted. He mentioned the
case Of fertilizer man who called
on him for information with regard
to a party from whom he had re-
ceived letter asking a quotation
for a carload of fertilizer. He sup
posed the letter was from a white
man, but to his surprise found 1t was
from a negro. He was a man OF
good standing, however, and upon
learning that he wanted carload so
he could get minimum price, and
intended to distribute among others
the portion which he did not need for
his own use, his order was promptly
filled.
"Diversifcation of food crops and
the increase of food supplies has been
slogan in this district for months
past. / inclose a copy of our Food
Circular No. So, issued in February,
Of which we have distributed
throughout the district nearly 49,
900. In addition to this the banks
all over the district have issued their
own circulars and advertising mat
ter, in addition to which they have
by every means possible extended the
campaign"
Which apparently disposcs of the
case.
"Produce"
And Save
It Is very ill-advised, indeed, that
reports Of 80 unjust, misleading and
inexact a character should find cred
ence in any section of the country.
The planter of the South has visited
his bank; and, black or white, has
found there, ready Il his hand, an
aid which has been rendered him IN
straight proportion 10 his means and
capabilities and honesty; but most of
all his honesty. And from his bank
he has turned to his fields, where, in
fact, "the yield of garden products
promises to be beyond anything ever
before attained"
The farming custom and the means
I to gain living cannot anywhere
be absolutely altered over night.
Meantime, many things arc ncces-
sary. The farmer must be early in
the game persuaded TO forego a crop
| that in the past has yielded good,
sure dollars to his pocket land how
much more this year. in favor Of a
crop that must bring aid and COM
fort 10 the stomach Of multitude.
