ally to advance the maturity of his

dollhouse lettuce says that the govern
ment crop and market reporting SER
vice is worth $500 a year to him in

Here is another concrete illustra-
ton: During the past season there
was a short crop of potatoes In yir-
ginia and Maryland. The crop and
market reporting service informed po-
tato growers over the country of that
fact in time for them to take advan-
tage of 1t. AS result, some southern
growers held their potatoes for a few
weeks, while some northern growers
dug and marketed theirs little ear
lier than usual, thus not only obtain
ing better prices, but filling in period
when there would have been otherwise
a shortage of new potatoes.

MARKET TERMS

prepared by the United States De-
partment OF Agriculture)
The market is FIRM
when, for the commodity
under consideration, prices are
holding fairly from day to day
and from week TO week, with the
values more prompt than the de-
clines and values gaining only
few cents when compared with
the week or fortnight before.
The market Is STRONG
when the advances are fairly
sharp and the declines slight and
quickly overcome.
The market Is WEAK
when the declines are sharp
and persistent, continually reach.
ing low points and making only
slight and short recoveries. The
degree of weakness is measured
by the frequency and extent Of
such movements.
The market Is DRAGGING
when prices sag almost imper-
ceptbly, simply falling a little
short of the previous top quota
lions from time TO time so that
the decline Is scarcely noticeable
except by comparison with the
level of the previous week or
month.
Reports Of the condition Of the
crop. the shipments, the weather,
are factors In determining what
may be expected to follow n
firm. strong, weak, or dragging
market. The progressive pro-
duce grower studies all Of these
conditions and markets his pro-
duce accordingly.

II was used as signal of alarm.
There can be little doubt that ii has

FAMOUS AS GREAT ENGINEER
Mark lsambard Brunei Won High
Rank Among Men Noted for Their
Service to the World.

Sir Mark Isambard Brunei. engineer
of the Thames tunnel. died at London,
December II, 1S49. The great enter
prise by which he became popularity
distinguished was the tunnel connect
ing the shores of Essex and Kent. One
day Brunei conceived the construction
of a cast-iron shield, which should bore
like an auger by means of strong
hydraulic screws, while as fast as the
earth was cut away, bricklayers
should be al hand to replace it with an
arch. He patented the plan and re-
vived the project of road under the
Thames In 1924 the Thames Tunnel
company was formed, and the next
year the work started and was pur-
sued through many difficulties from ex-
plosions of gas and eruptions of wa
ter-until 1928. At the beginning of
that year about 600 feet had been
completed when the river broke
through and six men were drowned.
Work was suspended until 1885, when
the government advanced the company
over million dollars. At last the
100 feet was completed and the tun-
mel opened on the 25th of March. 1913.
Brunei was knighted by the queen
and his fame was borne to the ends
of the earth.

College Training an Advantage.

University of Idaho, Moscow
What has just been shown to be
true in the army under extraordi
nary circumstances has long been
apparent in civil life. There is
abundant evidence of the superior
chances for success which await the
college trained man.
Here are few of the commonly
cited facts:
(a) Only about / per cent of
has had college or university train
ing. Yet approximately two-thirdS
of the persons listed in Who's Who,
which include men and women who
in any calling, are college trained !;
that is, two-thirds of the leaders in
professions and business, so far as
the editors of Who's Who can dis
cover them, are drawn from the
higher educated l per cent of the
population.
"(b) Statistics based on data
gathered from the experience of
100 business houses and covering a
period of three to four years show
that about 80 per cent of the col
lege men were successful in rising
to large salaries and responsible po-
sitions, as compared. with 25 per
cent of the non-college men.
"(c) A number of the leading
universities have made reports of
their graduates year by year for
the first ten years after graduation.
The average earnings by the end of
the fifth year after graduation run
from $500 to s2200 by the end
of the tenth year from $4,000 to
$4,000
