The twice-a-week Twin Falls times. (Twin Falls, Idaho) 1916-1918, 1917-07-10

ginning of the the experiences OF the /
barrow Brothers Seed and Supply
company here nine years ago, the
growth of berries has been very prof.
table, only two crops have been short
and these were fairly profitable, due
10 high prices. The firm is convinced
that if farmers, especially small far
mers, will so at the business system
atically, they cannot see where there
is a possibility of losing out. There
should be hundreds Of acres handled
in a business like way, instead of a
few scattered patches.
The great difficulty experienced by
the firm in handling crates and boxes
has been due to the fact that the ber-
ry raisers expects the men handling
crates to carry all the risks. Few or
them will order crates until ready TO
use them. and when the dealer has a
large supply on hand. he must carry
it over should the crop not be as large
as usual.
"Since we have been handling berry
boxes and crates there has seldom
been a time d. ring any part of tie
year when we did not have from $1,000
to $4,000 tied up in this line, in other
words in order that the berry growers
of this section should have a source
of supply we have been taking all the
chances of loss on material through a
crop failure and the growers have
been taking no chances whatever, as
they never made any provision fol
buying any crates until they saw the
berries ripe on the vines and ready tC
pick"
The firm announces that it is ready
and willing to give information rela
tive to berry raising to all interested

The biggest problem the merchant is
facing today is MISUNDERSTANDING

ufacturing plant and putting them
where they ought to be: that is, in
the hands of the ultimate consumer.
Anyone can put up a plant, hire
men, buy goods, secure a place for
the transaction of his business; Tut to
take his goods and put them where
they ought to be is what he has to
solve, and the man who does has lit
tie to worry about. The man who
solves the problem tells the people
about his goods, what they are, what
they can be used for, and then keeps
right on telling them, as many of us
are extremely forgetful and the clean
newspaper advertisement, be ii full
page or small two or three inch sim
gle column space, is the most efficient
and economical factor and help he can
employ.

Advertise, first of all; second, adver-

consistently, and by all means make
good your advertising promises
Newspapers are judged, l am sorry to
say, not by their advertising successes
but rather their failures. John Doe

Who Benefits From Cotton Fu-
ture Dealing?

Fl At 44+N
Brokers are much worried over
the decision of Judge Youmans, of
the federal court Of Arkansas, in a
cotton-future case, wherein that
judge held that 4 futures contract
in order to be valid must have the
names of the principals plainly de-
noted on it. Judge Youmans says:
at seems to me. that the
meaning of the act 1.-THE United
Staate Cotton Futures Act) is
that every transaction shall
stand by itself. 1t shall show
upon it's face the name of the
buyer and the seller to prove
the truth Of the transaction"
If this ruling is upheld by high
er courts, the end of all trading in
cotton futures is predicted. What
would be the situation if such an
event did transpire? We buy pig
iron and steel direct. We buy nor es
and cows and mules direct. Why
not buy cotton direct? In an iron
contract there is the producer at
one end and a purchaser at the 9TH
err, who agree upon a certain price to
be paid at a certain date of delivery
fixed in the contract. Florida or
ange men sell their crop to commits
sion men in New York and Chicago
at certain prices before the trees
bloom.
There can be exchanges where
prices paid for actual cotton, either
for spot 'or future delivery, may be
collected and ~telegraphed to every
nook and corner of the world. That
is all the producer desires. That j
evidence of what cotton is worth,
A cotton futures transaction is mis-
leading, is without solidity and sta
bility and leads, like all other spec
ulations, ito monopolistic price-tixing
by the few largest interest.
With warehouses to store the cot

purchase and sell on commission,
with cotton mills at one end and
cotton producers at the other, what
need is there for that party who has
no interest in the staple?
The mill, which buys so much cot
ton of a broker to be delivered at q
certain time at a certain price, lis
making a genuine trade which tends
to fix the value of the staple in the
channels of regular business. Men
who trade in futures have, no inter.
est in the staple beyond the gambl.
ers' chance of rise and fall. Left to
them, cotton is unmoored, rises and
falls in price without reason, and
becomes the football of speculation.
1t is hard to feel sympathy with
any form of trading which is not q
genuine exchange of goods for mon
ey between two contracting parties
with their names plainly entered or

the stuff now, six weeks hence, or

AUGUST SUGGESTIONS FOR
GIRLS, CANNING CLUB


not produced very much this summer
on account of the unfavorable wealth
err. Now is our last chance to make
our gardens produce a lot of stuff for
US this year. Nearly a million young
men are being taken into the army.
That is more than half as many peo-
pie as there are in our whole state
and it will take an awful lot Of gar
den stuff to feed them. Let us make
a big effort to grow as much sspos-
sible in our garden for these boys to
eat
The work on the fall garden must
be started during the early part of
the month. The good rains that have
fallen recently have put the soil in
very fine condition. Everything will
come up and grow rapidly if we will
do our part.
Work the soil up before the hot
sun bakes a hard crust on top. This
crust will allow all the moisture to
escape if not broken. Pull up and
carry away all the old plants that
have quit producing. They only act
as breeding places for bugs and dis
cases., and besides You need the
spacefor other things. Also destroy
all the grass and weeds.
Cucumbers and summer squashes
may be planted any time during the
month. Davis Perfect and Long
Green are good varieties of cucum
bers and Golden summer crookneck
and White Bush good squashes. Six
to ten seeds may be planted in hills
or the seeds may be planted about
three inches apart in drills.
Collard, Kale, and Cabbage seed
may be planted during the first week
in August. Plant the seeds thick an
inch deep in the drill and thin the
plants to 10 to 24-inches apart when
they are a couple Of inches tall.
1t is almost too late to set Toma-
to and Pepper plants in North Mis-
sissippi. # you have some large ones
it will be worth while to set them,
however. In South Mississippi they
will produce quite a lot of fruit be-
fore frost kills them.
Make two or three paintings of
Bush beans during August. Ward
wells Kidney Wax and Stringless
Greenpod are among the best vari-
cites. The paintings of Radishes and
Lettuce should be started during Au-
gust. Ten to fifteen days is the prop
er time between paintings. The Gin
cinatti Market Radish and the Big
Boston Head lettuce are among the
best varieties.
Plant Beets, carrots and. turnips
during the latter part Of the month.
During the last few days of the
month plant mustard, English peas,
parsley and spinach. All of these
grow best in cool weather and will
not do very much until the hot sum-
mel weather is pretty well past. The
same varieties Of these may be used
that were recommended in the spring.
