peace congress and brought TO me
feet several statesmen, each of them
an important figure in some corner OF
.he Nor!.l
Aside from SET speeches by Presl-
dapf Wilson and Premier Lloyd
George and the final whip cracEer
remarks 10y President Clemenceau,
men of the smaller nations held the
floor and furnished an interesting TEA
ture as they advanced their claims for
larger consideration by the confer

Among these statesmen was Camille
Huvsmans, of Belgium, tall, slim,
pervouS-lo looking man with pointed
Waite beard, who spoke in low, al
most apelogetic tone, as did most OF
the others. as he recOunted with evil

Another figure of special interest to
Americans was Premier Venizelos, OF

is familiar to the world through the
hundreds of pictures of him that have
been published His face is rather

Another prominent figure from the
Balkans was Premier Bratiano, Of
Rumania. his heavy black beard shot
with gray. He bowed almost to the
| top of the table before he commenced,
but said surprisingly little. He did
not neglect, however, to advance Ru-
nania's claims Of reparation and he
discussed the question of the Danube
as an international highway.
\ striking thing is that almost
every one Of the small nations adj

the amount that Germany should pay
and to whom and how it should be

President Wilson's speech was

casion. the president really reaching
great heights and demonstrating the

There was some disappointment

discussion, but the failure of other
speeches to be anything but general
shows there was an agreement prob,

$l5,000,O0O Worth Of Furs Sold at St. Louis;
Auction Was Largest Held in History Of Trade

A fur sale, the largest fur auction
ever held in either this country or
in Europe, reaching to over SIS, 000,-
900, took place in September, at ST.
Louis, at the auction rooms of the
International Fur Exchange. There
were 600 buyers in attendance, a
large number of them representing
European houses. and the number of
pelts presented for sale amounted to
the very large total of 100000.
The skins offered are by no means
all native pelts; they represent every
CLINE and every part of the world
that contain fur-bearing animals.
They also include varied values from
the most rare Russian sables and
ermine to the humble chipmunll and
domesticated cat. A canvas covered
by two high and perhaps a foot wide,
was insured for 100000, so choice
were the sables it contained .
With the exception of the Austria
liam and New Zealand rabbits, which
number about ten to the pound, all
sales were made by the pelt. 1t
would be impossible that so great
a number of skins should change
hands during the ten days of the
sale if it were not for a system of
most accurate grading. Pelts are
graded in five classes and are cata-
logued as 1, II, III, ", V. The diff
ferent classes are then graded for
size; for instance, extra large No. l,
large No. 1; medium No. 1, small
No. 1, large No. 2. etc. Shippers who
send furs to the ST. Louis marketand
the foreign and American buyers
who go there for the skins that are
to appear later as luxurious gar
ments, Or fashionable adjuncts to
cloth suits and coats, have absolute
confidence in the graders and their
system.
The enormous and regular ship
ments of furs going to st. Louis is
sustained by a fair and standardized
system of grading, for on this grad
ing depends the prices that the trap
pers receive for the raw skins. 1t
is also the method of determining
the prices offered by the dealer who
must Judge the value of the skins

Some agricultural products in
practically all parts of the United
States are menaced by frosts in
10Th spring and fal% The critical
periods are when tender vegetation
is threatened by the frosts of early
autumn, but summer froStS occur
occasionally in mountainous regions
and in extreme northern sections OF
the country.
Conditions which produce damag-
ing frostS are subject to Anodifica-
lions as numerous as the kinds of
crops raised and as varied as Local
topography, local climate, and local
soil conditions in the various sec
lions Of the United States. But as
a general rule, when other atmos-
pherit conditions are favorable for
their occurrence, frosts may be eX-
pected in exposed places in the open
country when the temperature, as
reported from the larger towns and
cities, by stations of the weather
bureau of the United States depart
ment of agriculture, falls to de-
grees or 10 degrees above the freez-
ing temperature, although the tenn
perature of the air a few feet above
may be several degrees above freez-

The 1919 corn crop is a wonder
full crop from which to select seed
corn. Over most of the country it
is we'll developed, fully matured,
hard and sound-just the sort of
corn that a fellow can bank on
for a good stand and big yields.
But it takes time to select seed
corn. You are busy. Some other
job is calling you before you i'm
ish the one you are at. You guess
you will, not take the time to Sc
lcct any seed corn to speak of.
All right-it's your business. But
think ahead a little. Imagine that
it is the spring of 1921. The year
1920 say, was a poor corn year.
Frost came early and nearly all
Of the corn was soft. You haven't
any that it fit to plant. The busy
spring season is at it's busiest.
A score of things are calling to be
done at once You have to hitch
up the horse or crank the car and
start securing the county for
some man who has crib of old
corn. Probably you fail to find him
and have to wait while the county
agent or somebody sends down
south" and gets you some hard corn
70 plant. Some waste of time con-
nected with that process, isn't
there? After you get it, perhaps it
IS unadapted to your locality and
yields a poor crop of immature corn.
Save for Two or More Years
the corn experts of the United
States Department of Agriculture
urge farmers to select out of this
~ Sppd
rect their needs for two or three
years. No farmer, particularly in
the northern portion of the United
States, has time not to do it.
Still, the mere saving of time
is not the only reason. By getting
two or three years supply of seed
corn out of a crop like this, the
farmer takes out an insurance pol
icy that he can continue raising a
variety of corn that has proved its
merits. If he neglects this oppor-
tunity of providing himself with
a good supply of the right kind of
seed, he may have to start over
with variety that he knows moth
ing about, that may not be adapted
20 his locality or his land, that
may bring with it some disease or
insect pest, and that, in any event,
he will have to experiment with
for several seasons before he
knows what it will do for him and
what he must do with it.
Where Every Day Counts
The saving of seed corn from
a crop Of the right kind is a mat
ter of Importance everywhere, but
more particularly so, in the north
ern portion of the country. That
is where the vicissitudes of the
seasons are most likely to bring
about a soft crop. There, also, low
vitality means the heaviest handi-
cap. The south, with it's homegrown
ing season, might sometimes afford
a corn crop that gets away to
slow start, but in the north every
Gay counts, from the time the corn
is put in the ground until the
crop is safely harvested. Anywhere
however, the saving of the right
kind of seed has a direct and i'm
p0rtant bearing on production.
The Department of Agriculture
believes that eevry farmer can bet
ter afford to take the time, how
e''er much his labor may seem to
be needed elsewhere, to select at
least two years supply of seed corn
from this years crop, than to run
tie risk of being caught, spring
after next, with no suitable corn

CAREFUL SKINNLNG NECESSARY
FOR BETTER COUNTRY HIDES

Farmers who devote the little ex-
ira time necessary in skinning ami
mails carefully-possibly only three
to five minutes in taking off the skin
of a calf, or fifteen minutes in the
case of a beef hide-can increase the
value of the hide several times, say
specialists of the United States de
partment of agriculture. This is of
utmost Importance in view of the
present urgent demand for leather,
and the increase in price which I'M
scored hides bring on the market.
1t is essential and even necessary to
exercise the utmost care in remov-
ing skins from farm animals.
Country hides and skins make up
more than one-third of all the hides
and skins produced in the country,
but too often the value of country
hides for leather making is less than
that of packer hides. The tanner
pays more for packer hides than for
those obtained from farmers or
country slaughterers. This is due.
in part to better facilities in the
large packing houses for curing and
storing the hides, but principally to
the fact that such hides have been
taken off properly. The tanner

from the sample drawn from each
lot 1t is on this basis of mutual
confidence that this great sale which
in 1916 amounted to $1,300,00O has
now increased nearly twelve fold.
AS in previous years, the sale OPEN
ed with the presentation of the
Alaskan seals and foxes owned by
the United States government. The
Alaskan seal skins are now dressed,
dyed and machined in St Louis in
stead of being sent to London for
this process as was formerly the case.
The government killing is still SMALL;
only 9,055 were taken this year,
which fact makes these beautiful
skins very precious. However,, the
prospects are that the growing size
and improved condition of the Alas
kan seal herds under government su-
pervision will allow a much larger
supply of these pelts the coming
year. The record price paid for the
Alaskan seal pelts was $115 each.
These government-owned furs are
only sold at the ST. Louis sales.
One of the features of the auction
was the increase in prices paid for
all native skins, including muskrat.
Beaver, opposum, skunk. lynx all
brought unprecedented prices. The
high-grade foxes, SUCH as the Alas
kan blue fox, reached a figure that
showed an advance of from 100 to
1875 per cent
Prices obtained for rare pelts in
Guided a single Russian sable at
$1,000, and a lot of ninety sold at
an average of $500 each. These, Of
course, are exceptional valuations,
such as those put on rare jewels.
These public fur auctions take
place in st. Louis three times a year.
That the fur market of the world has
now settled in this country and will
remain here is no longer a matter
of conjecture. 1t represents another
great industry firmly established by
American business acumen, and
steady market for native furs and
trapperS.

Crops Injured by Potash
Containing Much BOraX

During the last few weeks the
United States department of agri-
culture has received many complaints
regarding injury to crops apparently
resulting from the use of potash
from Searles Lake, California. The
natural brine of this lake from which
the potash salts are prepared con-
tains a considerable amount of bo-
raX. Apparently one, at least, of
the companies operating in the local
ity did not exercise sufficient care in
the preparation of the potash and let
out considerable amount of potash
salts in.1918 with a high percentage
of borax, averaging probably ten
per cent, and. in some samples going
as high as % per cent. -
The department has been conduct
ing careful Investigations of the mat
ter in the field and these investiga-
tons indicate the substantial cor.
rectness Of many, at least, of the
complaints. In some of the special
fertilizer tests of the department.
where Searles Lake potash was used,
injury, which apparently was the di
rect result of the high percentage of
boraX, was clearly shown, while pot
ash from other sources showed ben
eficial effects upon the crops tested.

Frost Subject to Many Local Conditions;
Bulletin Tells Farmers When to Expect 1t

the free air near by. This chilled
condition of the earth cover faVorS
the formation of frost thereon. Clear,
calm nights and relatively dry at
mosphere favor the development OF
frost conditions to the fullest extent
because clouds not only retard ter
restrial radiation, but also reflect
and radiate back to the ground some
of the heat that leaves it.
AS result of the foregoing con-
ditions the air near the ground be-
comes coolest at nighttime, where
as it is progressively warmer and
warmer above the surface level up to
perhaps several hundred feet above
the ground, where the air masses
are Warmest, above which level the
temperature becomes lower again
with elevation. This condition is
version of temperature in free
air, and this again is most
favored by a condition of calm
or comparatively still air and
phere. On windy nights the motion
of the atmosphere reduces the
amount of difference of temperature
that can occur, by mixing the lower
layers to a certain extent and thus
preventing in some cases a degree of
cold that would otherwise result and
which might be sufficient to pro-
duce a frost.

HOW TO GRAFT APPLE TREES

To graft apple trees the frt thing
to do is to have young trees a little
larger than a pencil. Any kind of
apple trees. which should be planted
during the fall.
Any time until the March IS, these
trees can be grated. Cut the little
trees off about six inches above the
ground pulling the knife upward
and making a smooth slope or slant
about one and one-half inches long.
Split straight down the pith for
about an inch. Then take limb of
the current years growth, from any
tree of a good variety, and cut just
the reverse of the above, SO that the
two pieces will fit together. 1t would
take a picture to show exactly how
that is done. Wrap this we'll with
grass or wax card. In two years the
trees are ready to plant in the or
