and Moscow markets is marked.
Broadly, Petrograd disposes Of higher
class of article at corresponding prices
Moscow's clients belong mainly to the
peasant classic the inhabitants OF
the rural towns, whose wants are re-
stricted, if not primitive, and who ere
in the stage when new wants and
habits are forming. This does not
necessarily lessen the range and va"
riety of the articles desired-rather
the contrary. But the attractiveness
of the articles, rather than the quality,
appeals, and cheapness is an all-deter'
mining factor. This attitude was clev'
erly grasped and exploited by the Ger
man trader, and in this connection
nowhere else so much as in Moscow is
the evidence of German adaptability
and of German trade "penetration" OF
Russia more apparent. MoscoW's
stores were full of German goods.
Large numbers of these stores were
obviously German, while the represent
atives of German houses in the dis
trict must have been numbered by
thousands. In Moscow's best depart
ment store, the largest in Russia,
which was founded by Scotsmen in the
forties of the last century, and is still
conducted under British management,
probably 60 per cent Of the foreign
goods on sale have been of German
manufacture. The range Of retail
prices paid, and the quality which sat-
isles even the good class in Moscow,
are distinctly lower than in the better
class trade Of Petrograd.

Women Playing as Big a Part in
Great World War as Are the Men
By John BARRETT Director Of the Pan-American Union

The European war today is as much woman's
war as mans war. The playing just as
great part in the struggle for humanity as are the
men, There is no doubt the ambitions Of male rulers
were more responsible than the women for the pre-
cipitation of the conflict There is doubt if that
ideal democracy in which women's influence is duly
recognized had prevailed all over Europe before the
war; as it will when the is over, the world would
never have seen this titanic combat Of rulers and
peoples There is, on the other hand, no question

should not be too small, either.
The flock OF chickens consists Of
pure bred Plymouth Rocks and they
come from the flock of Mr.. VI. Palmer,
the Little creek veteran rancher. II
will be remembered that Mr.. Palmer's
Plymouth Rocks at the county fair
last year won first and second prizes.
Mr.. Halls chickens keep the house

are marketed. Some time ago a YEA

but he also got into a trap set for him
and that ended his career as a chick

It is the intention Of Mr.. Hall 10

believer in the merits Of diversified
farming, he intends to 20 into raising
pure bred stock in all lines-more

Of the soil, but even then the pillow
must go deep into the ground and
dOuble-discing must always precede
blowing, and the harrow must always
follow the plow. In other words,
stubble blowing and seeding must be
done according TO the demands of the
ground. It has brought good results
on his farm when done right. He said
that stubble seeding last year was the
means of pulling him through after
having his winter wheat killed in the
spring. But it must not be over
looked that weeds must be fought all
the time, be it on summer fallow or
elsewhere. Another thing which calls
for the closest attention is clean seed.
Mr.. Hall runs all his seed grain
through a tanning mill and Uses the
government formula of f~ormaldehyde
for smut. He is exceedingly emphatic
in his opinions anent the weed situa-
ton, and condemns in frank words
the fact that vacant lands, highways
and lanes are permitted to grow lux
uriant crops of the assorted pests to
the detriment of the farm lands of the
county. He with equal frankness con-
dennis owners of cultivated lands who
permit weeds to gain too strong a
foothOld, for the reason that other
farmers are invariably injured by this.
The hoe and the harrow, the weeder,
and the strength of the owner Of the
ranch and his help are not spared to
eradicate weeds in the fields. More
than that, the men go into the lanes
and roads to kill weeds. The summer
fallow on this ranch shows up clean
of weeds, the best evidence that the
; owner lives up TO his convictions. Co
operation Of all is the essential thing
to get rid of the pest-and this means
cooperation of all farmers, of the coun-
ty officials, and of highway officials
The garden is under the care of Mrs
Hall, and the fact that she is a native
Of western Oregon is sufficient ex-
PLANTATION for the excellent showing
the tract presents. In western Oregon
children know how to put in and take
care of a garden before they arrive a
school age. The garden on this
ranch contains everything customary
in gardens here and then a few pro
ducts not found in every garden il
this part of the state. The potatoes
are principally of the Blue Victoi
variety and they are giving a splen

seed for which was brought in from
an irrigated district are being triel
out and are doing we'll. The squasl

and cabbage, carrots, onions and to

six hills of dry land cucumbers Mrs
Hall put up five gallons besides sup

have enough to fill another gallon o

On the banks of Cold creek at a dis
lance of six and a half miles south of
American Falls, John Hall farms a
tract of 400 acres. This farm en-
braces the old homesteads of Willard
Ollie and Edward Knecht, and parts
of the homesteads of Elizabeth Lee and
Ralph Lee. Mr.. Hall purchased these
tracts in 1913 and 1914 and up to this
time has been engaged principally in
the reasing of wheat. That he has
done we'll in the growing of wheat is
shown by the fact that one year he
raised an average of q bushels of
Bluestem from 100 acres, hauling into
town more than 1000 bushels. Last
year he sold in excess Of $4,000 worth
of wheat.
OF the 400 acres of this farm 800
acres are in cultivation, 165 acres be-
ing in Bluestem this year. This will
given an average of around Is bushels
to the acre. The summer fallow area
this year covers las acres, to be
seeded to Bluestem. Last year Mr..
Hall had $50 acres in summer fallow
and seeded it to Turkey Red. No bet
ter stand of the cereal was ever seen
anywhere when the snow left the
ground. But when the winter broke
up it thawed during the days and
froze up at night and this injured the
stand of grain to such an extent that
it was all reseeded. Nevertheless,
Bluestem and Turkey Red are the
favorites of this rancher, and he is a
strong advocate Of the s~tandardizing
of these two varieties throughout the
county. Doing this will bring better
uniform prices to the grower in nor
NAL times, and will consequently per-
manently increase the area devoted to
the growing of wheat. About 100 acres
will be seeded to rye this fall, most
of it to be threshed, the balance to be
cut for hay. The rye will be seeded
on stubble, and the reasons for doing
this will be set forth later in this
sketch.
Experience has taught Mr.. Hall that
the soil on his farm must be treated
and prepared along certain lines to
bring about results. He plows from
i've to eight inches deep all the time
in summer fallow and stubble. Be-
fore blowing all his land is double
disced and narrowed. The disc is
to stir up the land, the harrow
TO level it and put on the dust mulch
The harrow is the chief implement to
kill the weeds and to bring about con-
~servation of moisture. Last year Mr.
Hall had wheat on summer fallow anC
on st~ubble-plowed land. The entire
acreage gave an average of 16 bushels
10 the acre, but the record of the
threshing machine showed that the
summer fallow gave an average of 1;
bushels per acre while the stubble-
plowed land gave a yield of II bushels
per acre. Frank Kluck attended tC
the threshing with his machine and the
record is there. Mr.. Hall accounts
for it partly owing to conditions pc
culiar to the soil and partly to the
methods of double-discing before plow
ing, to deep blowing when the GROUND
is moist, and to the persistent use o
the harrow. He condemns stubbl'
seeding as a general practice just a
emphatically as do other farmers un
less called for by peculiar condition.
