MARKETS DEMAND DAIRY
PRODUCTS OF QUALITY.
Attractive and Uniform Packages Nee
essary For Best Prices.

Quality is the keynote 10 success
full marketing of dairy products. Peo-
pie have always paid premium Tor
quality, therefore it is useless TO ex-
pect to market dairy products success
fully unless the products are OF quail
tty better than the average. Unfortu-
natsiy, it often happens that good
dairy products do not always find
GOOD market This does not prove,
however. that there is not a demand
for the product at a good price; 1t
simply means a lack Of knowledge or
the markets on he part Of the Pro
Queer. Also, the dahynaA - tse e.
ten Inclined 10 depsud upon his home
town or upon his immediate eomnun-
fty for a market for his products in
stead of looking for better prices else
where.
In this day OF the parcel post even
perishable products can be sent great
distances for a few cents, thereby
making it possible to sell such prod
nets as butter, cheese, etc, direct
from the farm to the consumer.
There are hundreds of people in our
towns and cities who would be glad
to get dairy products direct from the
farm il the farmers would put up
good, uniform products and deliver
regularly.
ANY one who is making dairy prod
nets for the market should give the
business his close attention. Not only
should he understand the best meth
DDS of making his products uniform
but he should also study marketing
methods For instance, it is the Gus
tom of most farmers to make theil
butter into round rolls varying in size
from one TO one and half pound:
and send il to the market in small
crock or wrapped in a towel. Neither
makes an attractive or convenien
package. Compare it with the mod
ern creamery butter package which i:
moulded into a rectangular block
wrapped in parchment paper to holt
the moisture and keep the content!
clean. and which has an outside cove
nj attractively cOlored cardboard OF
which is painted advertising designed
to help its sale. The advantage o
such a package is obvious. A frs
class product put up in such a mar
ner will soon create market for il
self with a steadily increasing patroI
age.

LARGE CANE YIELD DUE TO
CROP ROTATION.
Nitroaen Produced BY Leguminous
Crops Principal FertiIizina, Ele-
ment in Cane Production.

Some Of the largest yields Of cane
ever recorded in Louisiana were har-
vested this season A brief inquiry
reveals the fact that some of these
heavy yielding cuts were planted in
the fall of 1915, on land which had
been planted in corn and peas, clover,
alfalfa, or other leguminOus crops for
two or more years during the depres-
sion in the sugar industry. Any num-
Der of fields, which have not been
planted to cane for the last two or
three years, have been again planted
this fall. In some cases there we're
two or three years of corn and peas,
where the pea vines were plowed I'M
der one year and harvested for hay the
other years. In few cases cane has
been planted on land where white, red
or burr clover, or alfalfa had been
grown alone or in succession with
corn and peas. This is going to give
a very fine opportunity TO test the
value OF widening the common three
year rotation into a four or five-year
rotation, with view to increasing
the tonnage of cane per acre. II is a
fully accepted principle among sugar
planters that at least one years rest
with restorative crop, such as peas
planted with corn between each plant
ing of corn, which usually occupies
h. l~,I &c oil IN, oh
tanning satisfactory yields. This is
done for the well-known reason that
nitrogen is the principal fertili>ing ell
cment required to produce d good
tonnage of cane on the alluvial lands
of Louisiana, but the average land
during a decade or more shows a de.
cline in the average tonnage yield
with the regulation of three-year TO
tation. Cane is very expensive crop
to grow, and all costs outside OF har.
vest are more or less constant, wheth
or the yield be large or small When
the yield gets to be less than ten oil
twelve tons per acre, with the average
price for cane, the crop becomes un
profitable. The additional tonnage
produced on an acre is largely profit
after dedhcting the cost of harvesting
the increase in the crop. This is the
primary reason why cane growing in
the tropics, where yields Of from
forty to one hundred tons per acre
are procured, is so much more profit
able than in the more temperate re
xjons, where the growing season is
reduced to seven or eight months
and the average tonnage is CORE
,snonAinsly smaller. G. e. Nesom,

New York. March 19.-After forty.

railroad brotherhoods and the rail
roads had been declared here late
Saturday. thus averting the great

spokesman for the brotherhood chiefs.
asserted that he believed an amicable
settlement of all the differences would
be reached by Monday.
New York, March 19.-The confer.
ence committee Of railroad managers
early this morning authorised Presi.

whatever arrangements were neces.
sary with the railroad brotherhoods
to call off the threatened strike. The
formal letter in which this authorize.
tion was made was signed by Elisha
Lee. chairman of the managers, COM
mittee. and was a. follows: "In the

that neither at home nor abroad
should there be fear or hope that the

to assure the nation there will be no
strike, and as a basis for such assur-
ance we hereby authorize the commit

Tense to grant to the employees who
are about to strike whatever adjust
ment your committee deems neces.

QUESTION OF. LOYALTY
MADE W arm ISSUE
IN GOTHAM CAMPAIGN
Charges Of DislOyalty Fly
Thick and Fast As Fight
Grows More Bitter

New York, Oct. 31.--For the first
time since America joined the world
war, it appeared today that an election
might hinge on the issue of American
ism and loyalty-and the election itself
is to the office Of mayor of the nation 4
biggest city.
Speaking before great audience in
Brooklyn last night, Mayor Mitchell, a
democrat, running on a fusion platform,
flung the accusation at John L. Hylan
democratic and Tammany candidate
that Hylan aided and abetted the pro-
German propaganda in America; asso-
ciated with paid German agents; join
ed William Randolph Hearst in the cult
of disloyalty.
Mitchell produced letter he received
from the Friends Of Peace society, in
which he said Hylan $ name was print
ed as an honorary vice president. The
mayor explained that the society was
the notorious organization fathered by
Jeremiah O'Leary, Henry Weisman, AL
bert Sander (now imprisoned as Ger
man spy and other German sympathiz-
ers.
Mitchell declared "first, Judge Hy-
Ian is the candidate of William Ran
dolph Hearst, the spokesman of the kai-
ser in this country, and secondly, he is
not personally fitted for the office of
mayor, but was selected solely because
Of his willingness to obey orders of
those behind him.
In lesser degree the Americanism
issue was injected into the campaign
by Morris Hillquist, socialist candidate,
himself under bitter fire from Mitchell.

pathies. Hillquit 8 speeches today assail-
ed Colonel Roosevelt, who is campaign

try"
Dudley Field Malone, formerly close
adviser TO President Wilson, and ex-
collector Of the port Of New York, who
has abjured democracy for Hillquit, de-
nounced Roosevelt as "a shadow Amer
lean. -
Judge Hylan today insisted he knew
nothing about the use of his namc on
the Friends of Peace letterhead and
added some choice epithets to the cam
paign by calling Mitehel's assault on
him "vile, mendacious, ignoble, vilely
slanderous.
