Big Questions.

When the first ratifying resolution
fails to get a two-thirdS vote because
of the oction of at least 80 members
of the senate who are Democrats, Is
the treaty FINALLY disposed Of as the
phrase is used in the proposal of Sem
ator Lodge to end debate? Is the SEN
ate able to bring up other ratifying
resolutions containing less drastic res
ervations, or must the president notify
the other nations of the world that
America has not ratified the treaty and
that a separate peace with Germany
must be negotiated?
The Democrats would promptly ask
Vice-President Marshall for a ruling.
He would unquestionably rule that the
treaty is before the senate for further
action but an appeal from his decision
could be taken to the senate as a whole
and it would require only a majority
vote to overthrow his ruling and kill
the treaty. The Republicans could mus
ter such a vote but 1t is quite another
question whether they would thus wish
to take responsibility rot merely for
killing the treaty but preventing the
senate from having another opportunity
to vote on a compromise proposal,
Probably If the senate should sustain
the yice-president and rule that the
senate can still act on other ratifying
| resolutions the Democrats would try to
secure a record vote or q resolution
which embodies no reservations what
soever. This could not get the neces
sary two-thirds as at least SO Republi-
cans are adamart in their intention to
refuse to ratify the treaty without res
ervation or qualification of any sort
| They feel the country wants some res
ervations to protect America on most
points so as to avoid MISUNDERSTANDING
in the future concerning Americas OBJ
legations.

BETTER SAVE THAN
BEG OR BORROW

After the Revolution, when ques
tons of National finance were up
permost in the minds of all who de-
sired the prosperity and success of
the new government, Benjamin
Franklin remarked: "A small in
crease in industry in every Ameri-
can, male and female. with small
diminution Of luxury, would pro-
duce sum far superior to all we
can hope to beg or borrow from all
our friends in Europe"
This observation of Franklin has
its application to the building OF
home. A little more industry, lit
tie denial of Injuries, and one might
add, little foresight, will combine
TO make home ownership a reality.
One of the strongest inducements to
the habit of saving is having in mind
all the time definite purpose; and
of all the definite purposes one might
have. none is more worthy, none
sounder economically and none more
promotive Of happiness and security
than the building Of home.
Many a family struggles through
out its whole history without dis
covering that all its troubles are due
to the single fact that its members
will not so limit their expenditures
as TO leave safe margin between
income and outgo. While present
necessity does not compel them to
do so they lack the foresight to see
that future necessity that age and
infiruity will force upon them. Inc
man who today saves for buying
homes does so because he can look
little farther into the future thar

FARMEoL@S' PUBLIC MARKETS
SHAPED BY LOCAL NEEDS

a mixed retail and wholesale farmers
market; but in organizing such
market it is likely it will appeal
to different groups of farmers, and
that it will be necessary to regulate
the hours so there will be no con-
flict between wholesale and retail
business among the wagons or sheds.
Although retail farmers markets
have been urged in many communi-
ties as a means of reducing the cost
of living, too much is often expect
ed of them, according to men who
have studied the problem and who
point out that all locally raised pro-
duce, especially the more staple
crops, such as potatoes, cabbage,
onions, and apples, represent but
small amount of the total of such
products consumed by city jewellers,
the bulk of which is shipped in from
more distant sections. Retail farm
erS' markets do serve as an outlet
for a certain amount of local pro-
duce, varying with localities, that
might otherwise be left on the farm,
or not produced by the farmer who
depended upon other sources of in
come than fruits and vegetables.
Any community contemplating the
establishment of a farmers retail
market should first make sure that
there are in that community enough
farmers who are willing to haul their
produce to market and dispose of it
in small quantities direct to the

In attacking the cost of living
problem through ldcll public mar
kets. communities might well give
heed to definite underlying principles
that are known to apply to such
marketing institutions. Unless one
is familiar with the flow of farm
produce from the country into he
market basket the distinction be-
tween farmers retail market" and
farmers wholesale market" is not
drawn, but both may be called a
Farmers market" and pictured as
one and the same in their operation
and function.
Some communities have tried to
change farmers Wholesale markets
into retail markets where the house
wife could fill her market basket
with purchases made direct from
farmers-always at a saving, These
attempts have usually resulted in
failure and deal of friction between
the public, the farmers, and officials
because, according to city marketing
men of the bureau of markets,
United States department of agri-
culture. the farmers wholesale mar
ket is a very different institution
from a farmers retail market.
A farmers wholesale market draws
to it producers who specialize III
truck crops and fruits, and who
count on hauling corn, potatoes, toma-
toes. apples, strawberries, or other
crops in large quantities. They de-
sire quick sales in large lots after
they reach the market so they can
return to their farms and the work
M,
ers is more valuable than the diff
ference between what they get in
Wholesale quantities for their prod
ucts and what they might realize
by lingering long enough to retail
their load in small lots at higher
than wholesale prices.
Retail farmers markets, on the
other hand, attract a group of pro-
ducers who raise a small amount
of fruit or vegetables as a side line
and whose other crops do not de-
mand as close attention as those Of
the truck raiser. Often farmer
who raises only a few vegetables
can send them to a retail farmers
market in mixed lots, by a member
of his family, who is able to remain
away from the farm long enough to
dispose of these products to house
wives carrying market baskets.
Mixed Wholesale and Retail Markets.
The retail farmers market depends
as much for it's success upon location
as on any other factor. 1t must be
convenient for the housewife, while
a wholesale farmers market need
not be as centrally located, because
dealers have wagons or trucks with
which to gather their supplies
Farmers wholesale markets are an
early morning institution, starting
business at daybreak or even before,
while farmers retail market starts
later and runs for a longer time.

diseased plants from infected cut

terminating Freshly
Harvested Winter Wheat

Frequently only a small percent
age of freshly harvested winter
wheat terminates readily under the
conditions ordinarily used in making
the termination tests even though 1t
would terminate well under these
same conditions a few weeks later
In sections of the country where
farmers depend upon wheat from

time for this information to be OF
service.
In a recent investigation by the
seed laboratory of the United states
DEPARTMENT of agriculture it has
been found that this difficulty can
he almost entirely overcome, even
with wheat taken from standing
nlants and never allowed to dry out,
bv the use of a lower temperature
that has been customary for making
the termination tests. Thus, OF 10
samples of freshly harvested wheat
an average of SO per cent began TO
terminate in five days at tempera-
lures from 9 degrees to 16 degrees
C as degrees to 81 degrees F),
whereas in the same time an aver
age of only sc per cent terminated
at % degrees c G2 degrees F)
which is about the temperature at
which termination tests of wheat
are frequently made. In the case
of one lot SO per cent were germi-
mating by the end of five days at IL
degrees c (54 degrees F. and only
16 per cent at % degrees c (72 de-
grees F.. About Is degrees Coz
degrees FO is recommended for use
in making termination tests of all
freshly harvested wheat. Of course
at this temperature the rate OF
growth is slow after termination
| has begun.
This method of treatment was
equally successful with fresh sam
pies of spring wheat and gave good
results also with oats and barley.

RID FARM OF WILD ONIONS

Wild onion, or garlic, is the worst
weed pest in many southern wheat
fields. 1t is very difficult to re-
move from the thrashed grain and
to eradicate from farms. Wheat
containing onions is usually locked
heavily. Bread made from garicky
flour, especially if eaten warm, has
a pronounced odor and flavor. Avoid
sowing wheat containing onion bulb
let's, and use every means to rid the
farm of wild onions if they are al
ready established. -e
