It Is built for truck purposes, and has life of several years, which makes 1t highly superior to the made over kinds, which lasts but a few months.

 Commenting on the bad effect the gaiIure of the crop of winter oats in Arkansas will have on the diversified farming campaign, N. w. Nelson, gen- eTal agent for the International liar vester Company, advises the planting of spring oats.
 People in Arkansas seem welded go the idea of planting oats in the 1all, and in about seven of each ten years, the crop is failure" explains Mir. Nelson. Now if they will plant chem in February, or even in March, shey will escape most of the freeze, and are almost certain of a crop.
 Tt is not the freeze that hurts the oats. It is the manner the freeze affects the ground. The ground swells ap and when it recedes. the oats are left high and dry, on top of the earth. ! have seen oats left out this way blow off like chaff, and the crop would De entirely ruined.

"Tea is about the scarcest article in our line of business right now, states l.. c. Dome, manager of the cof- fee and tea business of the Plunkett- farrell Grocer. Company. land it is going up so rapidly that every tinle we turn around we see a fresh ad- vance. The principal cause is the embargo that has been placed by Cey- lon and India on their teas. They re serve their entire output for England, and as a large per cent of the teas handled in the United States have come from these countries, we feel the effect of it immediately.
 "At first there was an opinion that the advances were without cause. and for speculative purposes. but we soon found that 1t was just a matter of being able to get tea. Teas have gone up 10 cents pound during the past week. The cheaper teas are going up more rapidly than the others, for the poorer qualities are only half so

 Winter wheat has also been dam aged considerably, but it will grow out and get over it.

heavy, and go but half as far, yet they take up as much room and the freight on them is just as much as the finest teas.
 Coffee has gone down, as tea goes up. Coffee went off a half cent 2 pound last week. If it was not for the war risk, and the heavy insurance and the lack of shipping facilities, coffee would be cheaper now than ever known before The entire South American output must be taken by America. It costs three cents pound to insure it from loss, but even at that it is difficult to find vessels enough to keep the United States supplied"
 "Tea certainly is scarce" reports Capt. T. J McCarthy manager of the Fletcher Coffee & Spice Company, sand it came on us all at once. was very fortunate in getting quite sup ply, finding 163 chests of Imperial en route across the United States and I purchased it when it reached Chicago.
