MARKET

The big Washington county Tobac-

opening sale will be held on Tuesday
November 9th, and sales will con-
tinHe until the~end of the season.
The warehouse is splendid struct-
ure. with floor space of 10000
square feet. The four prizing houses
are equipped with hydraulic presses,
pricing hogshead of tobacco every
minute, which does away with block
ed sales. The railroad siding running
into the warehouse will save the ex-
pense of drayage to both buyer and
seller.
The market will be higher this
year than ever before. Buyers for all
the leading tobacco manufacturers
will be present. and the farmer will
meet more real buyers than in any
other market.
Evan S. Rees, the manager of the
warehouse, is very much encouraged
over the outlook, and promises the
highest market in the history of bur-,
ley tobacco.

PREPARE FOR GOOD HORSES
Now THEY WILL BE NEEDED

During the time when the road and
saddle horse of Tennessee was receiv
ing the finishing touches ia his devel
opment, there was great change be-
ing made in the agricultural field OF
the Middle West, The land owners
there were beginning to realize the
value of more horse power on the
farm, and secured good types of draft
stations for use on their, foundation
of range mares.
After getting the mares from this
sort of mating they saw that they had
an excellent incubator for high-prtced
mules, if they used the proper kind
of jacks. 1t was then that they secured
Tennessee and Kentucky for jacks of
sueh type and carried many away dur
ing the succeeding years.
From this foundation they are now
producing mulCs that we are buying
as weanlings and developing on our
Tennessee farms 1t is common knowl
edge that the best mule of this history
is the highest-priced mule on the mar
kets today. ,
Why not select draft stations OF
proper conformation and faction to
mate with our common native mares,
as did the Middle Westerners years
ago, and produce our own good animals
in numbers equal to the demand?
It is possible that never again win
there be market equal to that of the
last two years for the plug horse. War
demands have been heavy, it is true,
but may never recur
Now is the time to prepare against
oyerstocking the country with plug
horse stock by taking steps to have
to meet the regular de,
mands of our agricultural MARKET

AMERICA'S WHEAT TRADE

Striking changes that have taker
place in movements of wheat to ant
from the United States since the be
ginning of the war in Europe arr
shown in figures collected by The U
S. Food Administration. Our total
exports of wheat for the year ending
June 80. 1877 show an increase OF
7S,431. .036 bushels or close to 10 per
cent over the pre-war average.
An astonishingly large increase III
imports, especially from Canada, is
shown; but the excess of exports
oyer imports for the past year amount
to over 81 100000 bushels, eduiyelent
to about half a bushel of wheat from
every man, woman and child in this
country.
The destination of this wheat is
also interesting The Central Powers
have received practically no wheat
from the United States since 1915. Be-
fore the war Germany received II.5
per cent of our total exports. Ship
ments of wheat from this country to
Greece have increased over 400 fold
and Switzerland, which before the war
received no United States wheat, inn
ported from us last year over one
third as much as formerly went to
Germany.
Economy in the use Of wheat here
in America has helped to make the
large exports possible, but with the
gradual depletion of food supplies in
Europe still greater economy of wheat
at home, together with large 1913
croy, are essential for the success of
the Allies cause.

Raise Wages;
Not Rivals.
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES!
BY Herbert kaufman

One raise in time save nine. Some
men are so competent that numbers
can't replace them. Give good
worker his due or he'll collect it later
on with compound interest.
You can hide your appreciation
from a satisfactory employee, but you
can't conceal his ability from COM
petitors. Efficiency is so scarce that
everybody is willing to pay the limit
for it.
After you lose the services of an
undersalaried assistant you'll likely
find the secrets of your own business
turned against you. Nobody owes a
loyalty that isn't earned. How many
concerns would still be fourishing if
a meagrely, close-fsted policy had not
driven their strongest men to other
houses or independence?
Merit will make its way. Deal
right; it costs less than a future fight
Don't train your own rivals and then
turn them loose to put you out of the
running.-Herbert Kaufman.
