FAIRS ARE GOOD EDUCATORS
Fruit Grower Learns How to Produce
Fine Specimens and to Improve
His Own Methods.

At fair are exhibited the best pro-
ducts that had been grown in a state
or county. Fruit growers can easily
learn from the exhibitors how to pro-
duce such fine specimens of fruit and
he also sees the best and learns the
circumstances under which it has been
produced. One cannot afford to let
such opportunities as the fair pass
unheeded. The fruit grower can in
spect the work of others and compare
with his own, and If it is better than
he has been able to accomplish he
learns how to improve his methods.

The lack of sufficient teams to pre-
pare land, plant, cultivate and gather
crops has cost many a farmer heavily.
In fact, many failures and partial fail

and lack Of suitable implements. Do
not make such a mistake. Now is the
time to begin to plan for the next crop,

SHEEP MUST BE PROTECTED
Animals Are More Susceptible to Cold
and Dampness Than Any Other
Kind of Farm Stock.

Some farmers seem to imagine that
just because sheep has fleece to
protect it, that shelter from cold and
storms is not necessary, but they
should know that sheep are more sus-
ceptible to cold and dampness than
any other animal on the farm.

JAPAN ANXIOUS FOR
 CHINA'S FRIENDSHIP

Tokio, Feb 17.-The Kokumin and other leading newspapers say that the Terauchi cabinet has made plans for policy towards China based upon the winning of China's friendship, and the founding of an economic and in- dustrial alliance. China has long prov cd a stumbling block for Japanese cabinets, and China is the greatest political problem which this country has to solve.
 Much was expected from the pro- iected visit of a special Chinese en- voy to Japan on q mission of friend ship, but this visit was postponed be- cause of opposition from the South ern Chinese elements and inability to agree upon the personality of the en- voy. It is believed that Japan seeks to remove thesuspicion held in China and in foreign lands that she has de- sign upon her neighbor incompatible with China's progress and evoluti6h.

Chicago, Feb. 17.-Crop damage reports from the Southwest and West tended today to lift wheat prices. Con- tinued dry weather was given as the chiefcau SC ofin jury. Opening quo- tations, which ranged from 1-Sc off to 1-Sc up, with May at $1.74@1.73 and July at $1.47@1.48, were followed by an advance ala round to well above yesterdays finish.
 Corn averaged lower as a result of slightly better conditions for the movement of railway freight After opening 1-8c off to 1-8c up the market fluctuated within a narrow range with the advantage chiefly to the bear side
 Oats duplicated the action of corn.
 Scattered buying lifted provisions.
 Absence of any new export buying operated later as a check on upturns in wheat prices. The market closed unsettled at the same as yesterdays finish to 1c higher, with May $1.73@ 1.73 5-S and July at $1.48@1.49.
 Some inquiry from the seaboard gave little firmness later to corn. The close was steady at the same as yesterdays finish to 1-8@1-4c higher
