NIlW rLAN PROyiDES FOR
TIME SALES OF TRACTORS

CBy Z. Z. Tayille, editor Of West
ern Farmer, Portland and Spo6ane.)
A problem that confronts the farm
er Of the Pacific northwest today is
help. The help that the shipyards
have left on our farms is, in the
ra,n, expensive and inefficient. As a
result of this condition many prog
ressiye farmers have been wisely
turning their attention toward trac-
tors, trucks and other forms Of pow
cr-driyen machinery which do away
with the more expensive power OF
Lorses and save the feed and labor
they entail. How to finance the pur-.
chase by the farmer Of these trac-
tors and other forms Of power ma
chinery has been a problem that not
only confronts the farmers, but his
implement dealer as we'll.
ower-driven machinery in most
cases is expensive and as a business
proposition many farmers want two
full seasons to pay their tractor bills
while most banks are not usually
willing to have their money out for
SO long time.
There has recently come to my at
tcntion plan for financing the far
mer that seems 10 me most practical
and has been successful in those dis
tricts where It has been tried, This
io the plan OF the Western Farm
Credit company, which has recently
tnened offices in Portland The
plan, which has much merit in It,
works like this: The purchaser Sc
lects the tractor he wishes to buy and
pays the dealer certain amount on
the purchase price, giving his note
for the balance. The company furn-
lshes the dealer with a simple busl-
ness-like contract or form for this
Use and when the sale has been COM
pleted and the sales contract proper.
ly filled out and signed, the company
takes over the farmers obligation,
giving the dealer the necessary cash
This enables the farmer to secure
the needed machinery at once, 50
chat he can start 1t to work and
make 1t earn dividends for him. so
that when the time comes to finish
paying for the machinery bought Oh
these easy terms he is in a position
to make his payments promptly.
This plan is great help to the
dealers because it permits him to in.
crease the volume of his business by
financing sales he might not other
wise be able to make because of the
iurden of these longtime credits.
Bankers should favor this propo-
sltion because it means the increas-
ins of crop production and means the

HOUSEWIVES MAY CAN
WITH SUGAR SUBSTITUTES

At the request Of Assistant Fed
eral Food Administrator W. X. New
ell, the following instructions for
.he assistance of Oregon housewives
in canning fruits, vegetables and fish
have been prepared by Miss Edna
Groves, superintendent of domestic
rclence and home economics in the
Portland public schools
Every jar of perlshable food can
ned by the housewife is a valuable
contribution towards the nations
food reserve" said Mr.. Newell, "and
tho food administration urges Ore
gon women to fill every possible con-
tainer for winter use, particularly
with vegetables. By careful atten'
ticn to Miss Groves formulas the
canning can be done with the mini
mum of sugar, which is very impor-
tant."
Miss Groves canning directions
are:
Food conditions are bringing out
many new problems to the house
wife. The shortage of sugar should
not lessen the canning of fruit, since
Il is possible to preserve without
sugar. Boiling water may be sub
stituted for the usual sugar syrup
in canning fruits. The sugar can be
added as the fruit is opened Karo
corn syrup has proven very sue
cessful substitute for sugar. Jellles,
Jams or fruits will have a slightly
different flavor and be little less
sweet If preserved with karo, but
viii retain the fresh flavor of the
fruit.
In using karo syrup as a substitute
Cor sugar, an equal measure of karo
should ba used. or can may use half
karo and half sugar. All jams and
preserves may he made by using
three-fourths or less of the measure
Of fruit in karo or mixed karo and
sugar. Fruit juices for jellies re-
Cui-e about three-fourth OF the meas
ure in sugar or karo and sugar. In
using karo for jellies, 1t is necessary
10 cook the mixture longer. It should
sheet off" the spoon when tested.
The juices for ielles may be sealed
tvery hot and in heated containers)
without adding any sugar, and the
Jelly may be made from this as need
ed in the winter, by adding the usual
amount of sugar, which will then be
more plentiful
The cold pack method of canning
fruits and vegetables has proven sue
cessful and the housewife will find
il an easier, safer method than the
open kettle Great care should be
exercised IN the selection of jars, rub
bers and lids See that there are no
hicks on the edges of the jars and

CITY WOMEN MAKE HAY
FROM VACANT ACREAGE

Hundreds of women in Chicago are
now engaged in making hay inside
the city limits. They are cutting the
great confusion of grass from vast
vacant acreage. Most of these people
are the lucky possessors of cows and
t. ey are saving the hay for the win
ter. Old and young, young mothers
with their first born holding on to
their skirts are found at work.
In this is to be seen queer rep
etition of war history. During the
Civil war the cutting of this grass
tom the prairies was a prolific
source of revenue. Hundreds of cit
ii!zens were engaged in it, The
young men went to answer Lincoln's
call and the women were left to cut
and harvest the hay.
There was a queer kind of hay
lake used for this purpose. 1t was
invented for the use OF women ex-
clusively, and was called "my-broth-
cr's-gore-to-the-war rake" which
s,gnif!ed that no one was left at home
to make hay but the mother or sis
ters. In the homes of the old set
tiers these rakes are yet to be found
and are treasured as a relic Of form
er war-clouded days. Many are more
patriotic today than in '6l.

that lids fit and are in good condi-
tion. It is unsafe to use old or
doubtful rubbers. The wash boiler,
with a wooden rack in the bottom,
makes a good canning outfit for the
cold pack method.
A very thin syrup for canning may
ne made by using one cup of karo or
one cup of sugar to three cups of
water. and boiling for five minutes.
One cup of karo to two cups of water
makes a syrup with a little more
body, or one may use half the amount
Of the sweetening in karo, the other
half in sugar.

Club Organized for the Purpose OF
Boyeotsing Products Of Hun
Manufacture.

Chlcago.--High art and low art,
music and literature and dolls that
talk and walk are to be taboo forever
and forever to members of a new club
here, when they bear the "Made in
Germany" stamp or flavor.
"Use Nothing German" is the name
of the club. And the women who have
formed 1t swear that they mean what
they say, and that after the war they
intend that the kaiser does not re-
cuperate from the Ills he has brought
upon himself through their aid.
The club expects to spread its mes
sage countrywide, and thus to induce
women throughout the United States
to back them up in ignoring every
thing German. - 4

New York. July 1s.-Re 1ecttng IA
vorable reports from the battle front in
France, the undertone Of the cotton
market on the whole was firm today.
Trading was light. due in part to a
disposition to await further advtces
from Washington as to price fixing.
AS there was no relief from drought
conditions over the southwest the mar
ket opened generally 8 to 80 points
higher with shorts active buyers and
offerings scattered
Realizing attracted by the opening
advance carried prices off some IS or
20 points, but the market turned Hrmer
before the end of the first hour.
Business became somewhat less ac-
tive at an advance of some AZ to ~
points over last nights closing figures
and there was some realizing around
midday. These offerings were absorbed
on setbacks of 8 or Q points. however.
and the market showed a steady under
tone on the continued dry weather In
the southwest and stimulating war
news
Early in the afternoon prices were
off is to 20 points from the best under
realizing sales through some of the
spot firms.
Late In the day the undertone was
stronger. Closing prices were 40 TO 81
points net higher.
The receipts at the ports for the day
were 2.33s bales: stocks In New York
warehouses were ss.2ls compared with
42.s34 bales a year ago. There were
no exports for the day.
Spot at New Orleans was steady. un-
changed at 2e%c: the sales were 40
bales, Spot here was steady at an ad-
vance of - points at 34.i0c for mid
ding: there were no sales.

vance made by United States Steel, Re
public, Baldwin and Steel Foundries
Next to the steels the tobacco shares
were most eagerly sought for by trad
ers. For weeks the insiders have done
everything within their power to keep
prices from advancing in this group.
Their reason was a desire TO accumu-
late for investment purposes. for these
stocks are probabl further below their
true market value than almost any 9TH
ers traded in. Sumatra took the lead
with an advance Of more than seven
points. Tobacco Products and Cigar
Stores followed with movements Of
about three points.
Corn Products and Virginia Carolina
Chemical made new high prices for the
movement.
Advance OF Russian bonds from 5 to
points to the new high prices for the
year led Wall street to hope that devel-
opments on the American front in
France might induce Russia TO strike
hands with the ancient friends OF the
Russian people and speed the day of
victory.

WALL STREET TAKES
CUE FROM THE FRONT

New York. July 1s-wall Street
took its cue today from the American
front in France $ described by the
commander at Givray. Shorts turned
tail and ran like hell" The happy SEN
sationai report by the American COM
mander describes correctly what took
place in the stock market, but IL was
a genuine and shameful surprise that
so many raiders should be concealed in
the trenches on the short side OF the
market. Reasonable short selling has
not been considered unpAtrtotic. but
judging from what happened today the
short interest was really very impor-
tant
After the shorts had started to cover
genuine American buying began in
force, AS readers Of this column well
have been buying stocks for weeks on
the theory that the beginning of the
end Of the war has been in sight. The
German offensive now under way has
been looked forward TO as the final
test Of strength--tooked forward to
with confidence that II would be
stopped. II may be a little too early
to claim positively that II has been
stopped. but everything indicates that
to be the fact.
As the business situation was sound
and all stocks had been let down to
prices far under real values and in
very many cases below most conserva-
tive book values. the technical condi-
ton of the market was good even with
out a short interest The shorts, now
surprised. have furnished an exciting
start for most substantial advance.
Sorts are entitled to no sympathy.
for beyond a possible nominal short
transaction of a sporting proposition
there can be no justification for selling
other peoples stocks at this time. Even
the plea Of selling as a sporting prop
osition is un- American. Therefore, no
matter how badly the shorts are pun
financial authorities. That this Is so Is
Motors and American Sumatra where
curefy locked in. In both of these
stocks further punishment was admin
istered today as the former advanced
three points and the latter seven.
But short buying was responsible for
only part of today's enthusiasm. The
plain speculative and investment facts
of the situation justified a belief in
higher prices. In the first place the
American government has let Ii be
known that Il will need 100000 tons
of steel in the next twelve months. In
order to produce this volume for war
work the government will let the steel
companies have liberal profits. This
probably means that current dividends
will be maintained on all the steel COM
panies during the period of the war.
That expectation alone Justifies the ad-

were shown In the corn market today.
For several days past conditions have
favored the bear side of this grain and
there was more or less trouble in sus-
tanning values previous to today, The
principal factor was the sale of corn
to go to store for delivery on future
contracts Corn was under pressure
during the entire session. Cash was
unchanged to 1oc lower and the sales
here were $4,000 bushels. The poorer
grades exhibited the most weakness.
While the oats market displayed con-
siderable strength during the early
hours of the session that grain sold off
with corn and there were net losses of

Stocks reflected the good news and
started on an upward squirt imme-

continued throughout the session with
scarcely any reaction.
Steel common and other Industrial
