SWAPPING FARM ITEMS.

Last week we received a copy of

this paper we note that the article re-
Gently printed in The Courier rcla-
tive to the crop made last year by
John +. Gillespie on Il fram just
northeast Of Walhalla is quoted. or

OF exchanges includes the Panama

ricr does travel around some to sub

aid in which the Gillespie article is
reproduced we find this very interest
ing statement appearing in the edito-
rial columns OF that paper. 1t brings
to notice the existence OF climatic
conditions so radically different from
our own that We deem it well worth
printing in order to give some idea Of
the problems that face farmers in
tropical regions. Whether or not
there can be CLEANED from this state
mcnt any idea that will lead to in
reStigation and result in benefits To-
cally. the theory advanced is so radi-
cally different from anything we have
heard discussed as to prove at least
source OF interest. The article fol-

who had considerable experience in
tropical agriculture in the West In
dies before coming to Panama, for
the suggestion that the penetrative
power OF the sunlight here may ac-
count for the willing of young corn
when planted in loosened soil early
In the season before the rains have
fully commenced. lie says that he
tried both the native method OF max
ing a small hole in tho ground with
the machetc, or sharp stick. and Of
digging it up with a hoe, to put in
the seed. and in the latter case the
young corn died after it was few
inches high. His explanation is that
the suns rays strike in and dry up
the young roots where the soil is
loose. and in the absence OF frequent
rain
'''rhis may account for the prcva-
lencc Of the "primitivc" method Of
-planting used by the Indians
and native farmers here from time
immcmorial. 1t is a very interesting
observation. and one upon which we
invite the opinions OF our readers.
According to this theory, if corn be
planted before June it ought to be
put in the unloosel ed earth. The
same principle may apply to other
crops also. We have often remarked
that all the principles Of agriculture
here based upon seasonal pcculiari-
ties. sunlight and our heavy rainfall
during one part or the year with
complete drouth in the other, have
not been fully determined yet. Such
suggestions as these arc therefore
welcomed by the Star and Herald,
and We shall gladly print thcm.".

S3 INDICTED FOR CORNERING
Onion Market of L. S.-Price Jumped
from , to 10 Cents Pound.

Boston, May 24.-Eighty-eight cor
porations and individuals were indict-
ed by the Federal grand jury here to-
day for c0nspring to monopolize in
terstate commerce in onions.
The indictments, which were re-
turned as a result of a nationwide
inquiry into the cost Of food conduct
ed last winter by Federal Attorney
Anderson, allege that the defendants
divided the territory Of the country
between them for the purpose of
eliminating competition; that maxi
mum prices we're fixed for the pur-
chase of onions and that the supply
was boarded in order to increase
prices.
Total Annual Crop.
Mr.. Anderson estimated that the
annual crop.o onions amounted to
200, 100000 pounds, three-fourths of
which he said was alleged to have
been controlled by the defendants In
statement outlining the case Mr..
Anderson said:
1T is part Of the plan of this as
sociation to have monthly meetings in
various parts of the country so as to
get as large an attendance as possible
OF members who might otherwise be
reached only through the mails. Af-
ter these monthly meetings the secre-
tary issues to the members printed
confidential reports containing a
summary or review of the amount of
onions available in various produc-
ing sections, followed by such sugecs-
tions as follows:
In Hands OF Spectators.
THE bulk of the onion crop is now
in the hands Of spectators, fully Is
per cent OF whom are members of
this association
This report shows that the move
ment for the entire United States
need be only so cars per day. The
results rest with the members and by
all means arrange to keep onions
moving regularly
"'We should not fool ourselves
and make this a fictitious value mar
kct, but be sure of conditions and the
key to the situation is to keep some
moving all the time
For the 1916 crop the producers
probably received less than two cents
per Mound In mid-wintcr many of
these onions were sold to retailers
and through them to consumers at 10
to 15 cents a pound. 1t IS claimed
by the government that this tremen-
dous margin between the price accru-
ing to the producer and the price paid
by the consumer was largely due to
illegal control Of the trade exercised
by this association"

Stronger Boxes From Less

Washington, March 19:-That much
stronger box than the type ordinarily
used can be made with less material by
increasing the number Of nails and by
properly proportioning the thickness of
the sides and ends, has been demon
strated by engineers of the Forest Pro.
ducts Laboratory, at Madison, Wis. A
loss that reaches many millions of dol
lars annually is, it is stated, caused by
damage to goods in transit, largely be
cause of faulty containers. The wood
experts of the Forest Service believe
that this loss can be decidedly decreased
by better construction of the boxes in
which goods are shipped.
Changes in the design Of boxes which
were recommended as a result of the
tests at the Laboratory have been
adopted by several associations. It is
stated that demonstrations at a recent

THE HEALTH OF THE PEOPLE
From the Extension Division Of the
University of Wisconsin,.

From the Extension Division Of the
University Of Wisconsin.
The European war stands out SO
prominently in the minds of most peo-
pie that it is difficult for anybody but
the most optimistic of us to see in it
any good whatsoever. And yet there
has never been a time in the history of
the world when the teachings of the
"health cranks" have been given such
unqualified endorsement.
If there were ever time when ma
tons were justified in letting present
needs loom large to the exclusion Of all
thought for the future, it would seem
to be in these days Of overwhelming
tragedy. What more natural than that
every thought and every energy should
be bent to strengthening the war forces
in the field?
Instead, from the very beginning OF
the war, wise men abroad have been
preparing to meet the horrible peace
conditions that will follow Immediately
on the close of the war and the most
significant thing about these prepare
tions is that they are not merely indus
trial. The human element the health
of the worker, present and future, il
being studied and considered as ii was
never considered in times of peace.
Thus in conservative English circles
the plays medical inspection O
school children, warm lunches, etc. ar,
no longer scoffed at and regarded as thu
proposals of the "faddists." Instead
they have been taken over by the mos
''practical" of sound headed leader
who have been compelled to see, a
they wouldn't see before, that eth
strength Of the nation rests upon tn
health of the people. These mel
have begged for the counsel of "senti
mentalists' who couldn't have secures
a hearing previously even though the
had hired hall.
