number of dead burrows and back
burrows will be considerably less.
In using the first-named methods
it is necessary to measure the
lands in the center of the field &C.
curately, leaving an equal area OH
all sides Of the field in which to
turn the outfit, and which can be
! plowed last by running the trac-
tor completely around the field
several times. If one end OF the
field is unfenced the outfit can be
pulled out into a road or lane or
an adjoining field for turning. 1t
may be preferable to pillow up to
the fence on the two sides as the
body of the field is being plowed,
and leave the headland only across
the end of the field which is
fenced. The width of the head
land will depend largely on the
turning radius of the tractor.
With easily handled outfits it is
not necessary to leave more than
Is or 20 feet, but plenty room
should always be left and for this
reason headlands so feet or more
in width are preferable to mar
rover ones.
Careful Flowing Saves Time.
If the field is to be finished up
in the best manner, with no irreg-
ular. unplowed strips between the
land or at the edges, it is essen
tial that care be taken to have the
headland of the same width clear
around the field, to have the dis
fances measured exactly when
starting new lands, and to have
the first burrows as nearly straight
as possible. A little extra time
taken in measuring off the neces-
sary distances and setting plenty

saving time at the finish. If the
tractor pulls three or more plows,
cutting a total width of 3 or more
feet, some effort should be made
to have the width Of the headlands
an exact multiple of the total
width of the pillow, so that the last
strip across the field will exaclv
cut out the land or finish it to the
fence. This will do away with
the necessitv Of making trip
across the field. probably over the
plowed ground. to turn narrow

Gerard Visits
West Districts

s. A. Gerard, senior member of
the firm of 8. A. Gorrard & Co., In
company with Mrs. Gerard. arrived
in Ordway Thursday for brief visit
here. While in the city they are the
guests of Mr.. and hrs. e. E. Hosier
and Mrs. Fred G. Aiilvert.
Mr.. Gerard is jubliant over the
condition of crops and the demands
for products as shown all over the
country. His main house is I'm Gin
cinnati where he resides, and he has
been all thru the east and is now
returning from an extended trip thru
the fruit and vegetable districts of
the south, west and north.
''Never in the history Of the coun-
try have market prospects looked so
good" stated MIR. Gerard. 'It is
not a case of short crops. for gener-
ally the fruit and vegetable districts
are producing well, but there is
wonderful demand for everything
grown" he continued. "Unheard-of
prices are being paid for lettuce.
berries and all other seasonable veg
etables and fruit. The prices will
doubtless continue and for more than
this year, at that. expect good
prices to prevail for the next several
years"
Mr.. Gerard is enthusiastic over
the accomplishments of the people
thruout the country. 1--WE have done
things since the war started" he
said, that we never dreamed we
could do. Had anyone told us five
years ago that we must produce GER
tain quantities, that we must supply
Uncle Sam with such vast sums OF
money. that we could give to the Red
Cross and other things so generously
and still be seemingly better Off than
we were when we started in to give
and to lend. we would have told
them they were dreaming. But we've
done 1t ALL"
A little conversation with Mr.. Ger
rard would take all that down-at-the
mouth. grouchy feeling out of the
hardest set pessimist in the land. for
he is SO optomistic.
Mr.. and Mrs. Gerard will leave
this evening via Denver for Gin
cinnati.

IS ay, we received another
shipment of that good candy
that SO many of our Gus
toners have tried and pro-
nounced GOOD, and let us
say right here that we are
proud of our candy business
and we have good reasons
to be. The first of this
month we received a letter
from the factory from which
we buy Notice we buy di-
rect from the factory stat
ing that they. had discoI.
tinued selling to the reta;
trade and would sell to thd
jobber. But listen, they
went on to say that they
had reserved the right to
sell direct to $500 of their
best customers-or as they
put 1t. to a restricted list of
their quantity buyers-and
that WE we're one of that
number. And as this is one

COOPERATION

We have been writing for
the last two or three weeks
about buying at and away
from home, now let US get
at the best way to overcome
this condition. We have It
in a nutshell, Cooperation"
and when we say cooper
alton we mean everyone,
business men as well as citi-
zens.
Let us make this state
ment. There never was any
thing worth while accomp-
lished without cooperation
of all the people who were
interested In the said pro-
position.
What won the war? Eng
land. France and Italy were
numerically, much stronger
than their enemies, and la
ter in the war became more
efficient, yet they continued
to lose. Finally the U. s.
threw in its weight and still
there was no marked sue
cess until at the suggestion
of the u. 8. the allies be-
gan to COOPERATE, then
the job was soon finished.
What was the trouble?
Germany knew there was
selfish division among her
enemies and she also knew
she had the cooperation of
all Of her allies. She mus
tered all of her strength
and struck with all of her
might at one OF her par
ticular enemies. knowing
that the other enemies
would not help her very
MUCH. because they were
selfishly watching their own
front yard, lest 1t be tramp
led upon. Then after they
had either drove them back
or worn them out, she would
take another one and pro-
ceed to administer the same
dose to them, and etc.
But when the suggestion
of the u. s. was considered
and Marshal Foch was Civ
en- full command of the
lragest army ever marshaled
under one command, these
concentrated attacks were |
soon stopped and some ofl
the same medicine perscrib-
ed to them. and we all know
the result.
Next week we will try to
get a few lessons from this
to show us how to apply
this to our own community.

a fine eulogy on the sacrifice of all
soldiers for the right, and urged a
complete brotherhood in the differ

not be thought of that one Odd Fell
low in America would fight an Odd
Fellow in Germany. Six boys were
mentioned, Hartford, Garrison, Irwin,

disastrous effects of the flooding of
the AmazS::.., whose relentless waters
have submerged the countryside for
hundreds of miles around. At regu-

Checks Professionals Avoid.

Mr.. Moran said his department was
interested only in government checks.
which he said were avoided by pro-
fessional crooks because of the heavy
penalties for forging them, but he
said many such checks had been
cashed in Washington and elsewhere
after having been stolen from the
mails or from letter boxes in apart
ment houses and the signature of
the payee forged. He said the Of
tenders were all young, their ages
ranging from seventeen to twenty
four years, and that he was surprised
at the ease with which youths could
cash checks without being identi-
fed.
NJ. D. Rosenberg. president of the
Washington Bankers Association,
acted as POSTMASTER, and in opening
the discussion said that Washington
had been more or less of a haven for
worthless check operators, and said
he favored a more stringent bad
check law. such as that advocated by
Senator Pomerene of Ohio.
The second speaker was Victor Dey-
Der of the Second National Bank.
president of the local chapter of the
American Institute of Bankers. who
held that the present law fosters
preparation of fraud on bankers and
merchants and that bad check was
the bette noir of the bank cashier.
MI. LaSkey SalQ ne DeueveQ what
was needed was not new law so
much as better understanding of ex-
listing laws which covered the offenseS
in question. He did suggest, how
ever, that habitual uttering of bad
checks be made a misdemeanor in
cases where the drawer of the check
was not amenable to more drastic laws
now in force.
A new law, he said, would be
fraught with danger to the merchants,
as it would encourage them to be
more liberal in accepting checks. The
remedy, he said, lay in more care in
cashing checks, closer understanding
with banks as to what men and wom-
en- were undesirable depositors. and
q willingness to prosecute where the
evidence justified it.
Other speakers were E. J. McQuade,
treasurer of the Liberty Savings
Bank, and f. T. Winchester, city
credit man of Baltimore.
The program closed with motion
picture exhibit arranged by firm
manufacturing check protector,
showing how checks are forged and
passed by professional criminals.

URGE COOPERATION
IN. BAD-CHECK FIGHT
Liaison Between Bank Cash
ierS ard Credit Men Pro-
posed at Dinner.

What military experts would call
Closer '1iaison' between the cashiers
of local banks and the credit depart
ments of local mercantile houses is
expected to reduce the losses from
bad checks in Washington. This plan
received approval at dinner at the
Raleigh Hotel last night attended by
members of the credit bureau of the
Merchants and Manufacturers Asso-
citation and several officials of Wash
ington banks.
The power of the law was repre-
scented at the dinner by United States
District Attorney ~oIn r. Laskey.
William II. Moran, chief of the United
States secret service. and Inspector
Clifford l.. Grant, chief of the local
detective bureau. While merchants
and bankers seemed to favor more
drastic had-cheCk law, these three
officials felt that the present laws
covered the situation. but both sides
agreed that if the banks would notify
the credit men as to what dx1 ositors
habitually cverdrew their accounts
and "kited" checks there would be
less money less on worthless paper
Care Urged on Merchants.
Both Inspector Grant and Mr.. Moran
urged the merchants to be more care
full in cashing checks. and to insist
on proper Identification. especially
where the amount of the check eN-
ceeded the bill for goods.
To emphasize the need for closer
inspection of checks before paying
money on them, Inspector Grant
passed around number of worthless
checks that had been cashed in Wash
iEgton Many of these had been
raised" to several times their origi-
nal value, and the crude pen work
was apparent on casual Inspection.
The inspector gave a humorous de-
scription of the ease with which
young women had obtained goods and
money in local mercantile establish
n ents by means of worthless checks.
and the credit men, seeing the joke
was on them, joined in the general
laugh.
