The African marigolds frequently
grow two or more feet In height, and
for this reason are better suited for
planting In mixed borders or along
belts of trees and shrubs than in beds

MARIGoLD
Ianeteal

There are two distinct types of gar
den marigolds, each with numerous
horticultural varieties, derived from
two distinct species.
The French marigold, which is the
most compact and regular in growth,
and consequently the most valuable as
a bedding or border plant, has been
developed from tagetes patula. while
the African marigsld, which is of a
more spreading and open habit of
growth and therefore less suited for
bedding purposes, but well adapted for
herbaceous or shrubbery borders. has
been developed from tagetes erecta.

FARMING NOW
A BUSINESS
The Modern Day Farmer Applies
Business Methods and Seeks
More Than a Living on \
the Farm.

| A nationwide cry is being made for
more economy and greater production,
and probably never was the need OF
foodstufrs equal 10 that of the present.
| Grain prices are the highest In the ma
TONS history and today the agricul-
| tural fields Of America offer induce
ments that are unequaled in any other
| line of commerce or business. The
ideal life is that close to nature, en-
joying the freedom of Gods great out
doors and fulfilling a duty to human
ity by producing from a fertile soil
that which is essential to the very ex-
istence of less fortunate people who
are actually starving to death for food
stuffs that can be produced so eco
nomlcally in the United States and
| Canada.
High prices for all grain, undoubt-
edly, will be maintained for a number
of years, and 1t appears certainty
that the ugriculturist will reap n
bounteous return for his labor and at
the same time, carry out the demands
of patriotic citizenship. A wrong con-
ception has been generally noticed as
to a large extent, considered as only
place TO live peacefully and afford a
living for those who are satisfied with
merely comfortable existence. Such
"A wrong impression has been created,
In n measure. by the lack of systema-
| tic business principles to farming in
general. But today farming and agri-
culture have been given a supremacy
in the business world and require the
same advanced methods as any other
line of commerce. In no other busi-
ness does system adoption pay bet
ter than on the farm, and it is certain
that there is no other line of work,
that generally speaking. needs 1t as
much. The old idea of getting living
off the farm and not knowing how it
was made and following up the details
of each branch of farming to get the
maximum of profit, at the least ex-
pense, is fast being done away with.
Farming is now being considered as
a business and n living is not sufficient
for the modern agriculturist a small
per cent on the investment is not
enough, the present-day farmer must
have percentage return equal to that
of other lines of business. The prices
for produce are high enough, but the
cost Of producing has been the factor,
In many places, that has reduced the
profit. 1t is the application of sys-
TEN to the cost of various work on the
farm that it is possible to give figures
on profits made in grain-growing in
Western Canada.
Mr.. G. A. Wright of Milo, Iowa,
bought a hundred and sixty acres of
land in Western Canada for $1,000 in
December, 1915, and took his first crop
from 1t in 1916. After paying for the
land in full and the cost of cultvating
1t and marketing the grain, he sold his
grain at $1.55 a bushel Ia low price
compared with the present market) !,
had n surplus of $2,472.67. His figures

JANUARY 10.

Washington, Sept. 11.-Proposed
general increases in freight rates on
livestock and fresh and dressed
meats on virtually all lines east Of
the Mississippi, which were to have
become effective September is, were
suspended today by the Interstate
Commerce Commission until Janua-

The proposed rates covered vir-

the fifteen per cent rate case in which
the railroads sought to obtain fiat
increase of fifteen per cent on vir-
tually all freight.
Failing to receive the fifteen per
cent increase, the roads filed new tar
