The Questions of War Times.
The Nations Farmers.


iioard's Dairyman. has the following
, to say about the farmer and the war:
! "Thc farmer everywhere loves
pc The American farmer espe-
cially loves peace. Since the dawn
OF history, the farmer has been the
, man who suffered most from war.
All that he possesses lies out Of doors
in plain sight and is spoil Of war
his house, his grain, his live stock
lie knows that he pays tho price OF
war "in steer, and gear, and stack"
and that the names that light the
skies in the rear OF every invading
army are consuming the things that
yesterday represented his life work
and the life labors Of past genera
lions of farmerS--the little coral is
lands OF comfort and wealth that
decades Of toll on the farm build up.
But the farmer everywhere is a
warrior when war is the only thing
which will make and keep him free
either Il warrior or 4 scrf. lie cannot
rally to the colors as quickly as can
the dwellers in the cities, because it
takes longer to send to the farms
than to the cities the fiery cross OF the
call to arms. 1t takes longer to call
the farmers from the fields than the
city dwcllers from the shops; for
many do not hear the first blast Of
the trumpet. and others do not at
first understand its meaning, because
they have not had time to talk the
matter over with their acquaintances
on the street corners, in the stores.
on the cars. in the clubs and at other
gatherings
But the farmers Of this country
could carry the war to victorious
conclusion even if all the rest OF
the nation should quit. The rest
will not quit; but we would win it
without them If we had to do it.
"Thc farmers Of the United States
can whip Germany.
I'VE can whip them with guns.
1--WE can whip them with our pro-
ducts.
1--WE can whip them with our
money.
'Ecvcry farmer in the United
states must remember that the war
has Il first mortgage on every cent
he has. The last spare cent in the
pockets Of every farmer in America
should be devoted to the war
The Kaiser began forerlosing his
mortgage on our farms when he de-
clared ruthless submarine warfare,
and the war is our answer to his bill
Of foreclosure.
Our contribution is, first, our
sons and brothers for the trenches;
second, the last pound of food pro-
ducts which we can grow by mobiiz-
ing our scanty labor supply, utilizing
the men, women, children and the
townspeople about us; and, third,
money for Liberty Bonds.
"This is the crucial year OF the
war. Our soldiers are at the front,
hundreds Of thousands Of them in
the trenches and a million more ready
to so. The whole burden OF carrying
on our own part in the war and of
aiding our sister nations in arms,
rests on the United States Treasury
eff the treasury fails or falters or
finds itself unable to respond to every
realize that?

Dividend Tax i'm Brazil

A s per cent tax on dividends of
banks, corporations and stock COM
panies whose capital has been consti-
tuted by shares issued in Brazil was
ordered by the President Of that coun-
try ON June 8, 1918. The tax must be
paid within thirty days after the divi-
dend declaration, and the decree went
into effect July last. Regarding for
eign corporations it is stated in a con-
sular report from Rio de Janeiro that
the decree has caused much concern
among them, although it would appear
despite differences Of opinion that only
such corporations as issue stock in
Brazil are subject to the tax Ameri-
can corporations whose stock is issued
in the United States perhaps would
not be liable unless they should issue
bonds in Brazil and place them on the
Brazilian market. Corporations COM
prsed Of American stockholders if in
corporated in Brazil in accordance with
Brazilian law are clearly subject to
the tax

Alloy Steel Helped
Speed Up War Work
Gives Tools Toughness and
Preserves Edge at
Red Heat

1t Is only within recent years that
chemists have seen the great possibili-
ties In the so-called alloy steels. An
alloy Is mixture of two or more
metals, and strangely enough often has
properties Of hardness and toughness
which are possessed by none Of the
Ingredients according to DR.. Raymond
Chemical Society.
The advent of high speed tools sew
eral years ago has completely revolu-
uonized machine shop practice and
made possible many times greater
production from the same number of
machines. 1t is safe to say that our
present production of war materials
would be utterly impossible with the
older tool stecls. Most Of the high
speed tools contain 10 to 20 per cent
manganese. Such steel then has the
property Of keeping its hardness with
out losing its edge even at red heat,
and 80 may be used for deep cuts at
high speeds
The alloy used in the greatest ouan-
~ih4co - d Stccl CONTAINING q per cent
nickel. This is very strong and tough
and is used for structural parts where
lightness is required, such as bridge
parts, rails on sharp turns, wire cables
and axies. When the amount Of nickel
i. increased to 36 per cent the steel
does not expand or contract with heat
or cold.
Vanadium steel Is much used for
axles an / frames Of automobiles where
great strength and lightness are de-
sired. A recent addition to the list is
high silicon steel, which is proof
against attack by even the strongest
acid. This has been a great saving to
the chemical manufacturers, who for
merly had to use glass and stone ware
apparatus whenever acids were heing
handled

Dutch Co. to Work
Home Salt Deposits

Threatened scarcity of salt has
caused Dutch capitalists to form 8
toint-stock company called the Konin-
klyke Nederlandsche Zoutindustric-
in English the Royal Netherlands Salt
.lndustry--to work undeveloped salt
beds in the provinces of Gelde rland
and Ovcryssel: The presence of salt
in these localities was mentioned in a
government report in 1908, and eight
years afterward beds were struck at
the depth of several hundred feet by
boring. The new development company
mas mas government patronage, and. in fact,
the state is to have 10000 florins
worth Of capital stock.
1T is proposed to begin development
WORK at once and provide Holland,
which consumes about ITO, 900 tons an.
nually. with home supply of salt suf-
icicnt for thousands of years. The
thickness of the principal salt bed is
estimated at 62.33 feet and in the con-
cession of 7,413 acres it is figured
thsrs may be 1.1Ao.o0o.ooo tons Of salt
New-York tribune., 1918-08-26


Another important matter in connec-
ton with forest resources Is future
growth. Calculations have been made
In respect to the Nova Scotia, New
Brunswick, Quebec, Ontario and Brit
ish Columbia, which show that the
future growth, under present forestry
conditions, will run about 2,145, 900 900
cubic feet year, while under proper
forest control the new growth would
total 7,500,000000 cubic feet q wear.
Hence, it will be seen that the current
rate of consumption amounts to onlv q
small proportion Of the actual current
growth. 1t will be noted also that at
tho present rate of consumption
Canada's resources Of standing timber
are practically unlimited. The standing
timber aggregates 100000 100000 cubic
teet, the annual consumption 537,OOO.-
600 cubic feet and the actual annual
growth amounts to 2,145 100000 cubic
feet In five of the provinces alone.
AS the United States markets for
Canadian pulp and paper increased
Canadian mills developed rapidly. Pulp
and paper occupies large place in the
exports OF the Dominion. For the f;eca1
year ended March 81, 1918, they to-
tailed nearly s72,OOO,Ooo. When normal
labor conditions return 1t is estimated
that annual exports will quickly In
crease to over $90,o00,O0O. The United
States buys the bulk Of these cxnorts
New-York tribune., 1918-08-26
LdSl three CIpherS omitted.
Canda' s Resources
Are Unlimited

The next consideration is the annual
consumption Of pulp and lumber from
pulp woods in Canada. The province of
Quebec contributes the largest propor-
tlon for current consumptive demands.
with total of 6S5, 100000 feet board
measure of lumber and 1,711,151 cords
of pulp wood, bringing the total con-
sumption to 26S, 100000 cubic feet. On
tario ranks second as a consumer, with
157,00O,0O0 feet board measure wear
in lumber and 1000 cords of pulp
wood, making total of 81 900 900 cubic
feet. The consumption of the entire
Dominion totals 1874, 100000 feet board
measure in lumber and 2,S33,119 cords
in pulp wood, making total of 537.
100000 cubic feet. The following table
gives the consumption for both pur
poses from all the provinces.
New-York tribune., 1918-08-26

Quebec's resources are inaccessible,
those of both Ontario and British Co.
iumbia are readily accessible The bulk
of the standing timbers are coniferous.
A general idea of the acreage of
timber lands in the various provinces
of Canada is given in the following
table. 1t will be observed that the
country has suffered heavily from fires.
This territory, however, under proper
forestry management will yield pulp
wood for distant future needs.

Save for the sensational rise of
United States Liberty SIS, the re-
suit of heavy buying by men Of
wealth who find investment in these
bonds attractive in view of the i'm
pending increase in income taxes,
and sharp advance in foreign gov
ernment issues, there was little Of
interest in the investment market
last week. On the whole, corporate
bonds were somewhat frmer, but
the volume of trading was not ap-
preciably larger than in other recent
weeks. Municipals, in contradistinc-
tion to the general trend, weakened
a trif1e, owing to fears that the pro-
posal to make incomes from such
securities taxable would be adopted
by Congress. Such fears seem ILL
founded, inasmuch as constitu-
tional amendment would probably
be required to subject them to the
tax, and Congress is not likely t.
make such an amendment in view Of
the pressure from municipalities and
local political organizations against
it. Not much can be expected of
the general bond market until the
tax bill has been completed.

Under the stress of heavy govern
ment withdrawals all last week, the
money market showed no easier
tendency. Virtually no time money
was offered except for renewals, and
then only in small quantities. Call
money was likewise tight and the
money committee found it necessary
to put out funds all week. Rates
for both call and time money remain
unchanged. The announcement of
j. P. Morgan & Co. that they will
make advances on call at Az per
cent beginning to-day against ac-
ceptances eligible for rediscount at
the Federal Reserve Bank is expect
ed to have a beneficial effect on the
money market, especially if the first
move is the forerunner of a general
broadening of the acceptance mar
ket. When the government makes
Withdrawals in the future bankers
who have money out on acceptances
will be able to call that without
causing disturbance, as the accept
ance dealers could then take their
bills to the Federal Reserve Bank
for rediscounting. At present when
there is a fairly general calling of
loans on Stock Exchange collateral
the market is put under a severe
strain.
Another important event of the
week was the announcement that
certain banking interests had re-
quested the Federal Reserve Bank
to classify loans for Stock Exchange
purposes according to whether they
are essential or non-essential. This
inquiry focused especial attention
on the money committee, through
which the bankers now supervise all
loans made on the Stock Exchange.
