STORING FOODsTUFFs
TO keep PRICES UP
Packers Charged by Illinois De
partment Of Agriculture
with Holding Up
Food Supplies

That the five big packing cOmpan-
les are holding vast quantities Of food
in storage warehouses is the charge
made in q report issued by the Illinois
Department Of Agriculture. The re-
port states that since the last regular
compilation Of figures made on June
I, the stocks Of the commodities on
hand have grown to vast proportions
and that the release Of these stored
commodities would do a great deal
toward relieving the present food
shortage and would help also in re-
ducing prices.
The following quantities Of food are
at present stored in Chicago ware
houses, the report states: Beef, 3d.
900 pounds; pork, 70,517,OOO
pounds; butter, 1888 900 pounds; eggs
$50, ,OO0, 900 dozen. These figures will
be used by District Attorney Clyne
when he conducts the Federal Inquiry
into the high cost of food products in
Chicago.

SORGHUM sILAGE
FOR FATTENNG CALVES

Manhattan, Kan, July pa feed
ing test just completed at the expert
ment station by F. W. Bell, associate
professor of animal husbandry at thu
agricultural college, indicates that q
ration of sorghum silage is superior
to a ration Of corn silage for fatten-
ing calves.
Two lots Of fifteen calves each were
used in the experiment. Each was
given the same amount Of alfalfa
hay, ground corn and Hnseed oil, but
one lot received corn Silage and the
other sorghum silage. The lot which
was fed sorghum Eilage showed a gain
Of 3o2.9S pounds at the end Of the
l60-dsy experiment, while the calves
given corn silage gained Ss1,SS. The
daily average gain Of the sorghum
silags lot was 2.62 pounds, and Of the
corn Silage lot 2.6l pounds.

PROHIBITION WELL
ENFORCED. SAYS PALMER

: Washington July Attorney
General Palmer expressed satisfactiOn
at the way the Prohibition measure Is
being enforced in a statement issued
at Washington. "As q WHOLE" Mr..
Palmer said, wartime prohibition Is
being well enforced. All violations Of
the law will be prosecuted. AS to beer
containing more than one-half Of /
per cent, Of alcohol We are enforcing
the lsw on that basis in every juris-
diction Where there has been no Fed
eral court ruling interfering with pro-
secutions. Since It Is q standof, rs
between the rulings Of the courts, in
the way in which 2.75 beer cases have
been handled so far, the Department
of Justice feels entirely justified in its
institution of prosecutions for the sale
of beer containing more than one-half
of per cent of alcohol in all districts
where there has been no adverse Fed
eral court decision dealing with the
definition Of intoxicants. :. We are
going to enforce the law in these 2.75
per cent beer cases in every district
where there has been no adverse de-.
cision, unless and until stopped by de-.
cision of the Federal courts"

|BG DEMAND NlN
FOR FARM TRACTORS
The Iron Mule Rapidly Displac-
ing the Horse on Western
Farms, Says King
Helskell t,

King Heiskell, salesman for the
Hood Implement Co., of this city, has
returned from Wichita where he at
tended the big tractor show. At this
show some eighty models Of tractors
big and little were on display and in
the three days of their performance
they plowed three thousand acres Of
stubble land, demonstrating just what
the "iron mule" can do under the guild
ing hand of experienced drivers. How
ever, 1t requires no expert to handle
them. Any farmer who understands
power and can run a Ford will be able
to handle his own tractors and plows.
The tractor as the small farmers
friend is.rapdily coming into its own.
Like with oil new machinery most
people and especially the farmers,
looked upon them as an experiment
or an innovation; the sudden shortage
Of help and the extra demand for
large quantities of wheat, proved their
value over horses. One tractor will do
the work of several teams; do it easier
and better. The plows pulled at
Wichita, Mr.. Heiskell says, were set
from eight to twelve inches and each
tractor pulled at each two plOws.
A good many farmers who now
have their machines are using them
to pull the heavily loaded grain wag-
ons in from the field and some Of
them are being hitched onto conYoys
of two loads of wheat and pulled to
the elevators. A mistaken idea some
farmers have is that these tractors
are only good during the plowing sea-
son. As q matter of fact they will
take the place of a team in many
ways and are so equipped that they
will furnish power for grinding grain,
saving wood, pumping water or any
other use that the farmer can connect
up to power.
It is no idle fancy to see in the near
future every farmer with his home
wired for electricity, with small mo-
tor installed and connected to his
tractor he can have his own light
plant at a very slight cost. The fol-
lowing people have bought tractors
from the firm Mr.. Heiskell represents:
Burt Taylor, Ed Walker, John Beach,
Ike Bingham, N. H. Harvey, VIM.
Gaylor, Mr.. Weimer, F. Kepple, r.
Mathes, Chas. Taylor, A, s. Carnahan
]. H. Augustus and Alva Chubb. Most
Of these sales have been delivered and
a great many more could be sold if
they could be had in time for the fall
blowing. Hood & Son handle the cele-
brated Fordson tractor which sells for
1925 complete. This includes two
fourteen-inch plows.
In another two years tractors will
be as numerous on the farms as their
forerunner, the automobile, is now on
the public highway.

THAT East II East and West ID
Vest Il brought forcibly to mind
akain by comparing the conditions az
i5ting around New YORK City with the
csnditions prevailing In Kansas, says
tie New York Nail.
Most men Of the city dream Of the
happy times to be had ON the farm.
shd when they attain . measure of
sbccess In their chosen business or
psofession they have the desire to till
the flelds-even as the suburhanite
does after he takes the 6:16 10 the tOx

mower and gets . stiff back by weed
ing, his garden, or by proxy, as the
owner of broad acres does. Only the
owner Of broad acres finds that he IL
forced 10 labor harder than ever 70

In Kansas, what q different picture
d presented this yearl Wheat Is king
and the government Is . kindly friend
promising S2.26 per bushel for wheat
Ths farmer there IL in his glory he
arst blessed the government for guar
anteeing him the price Of the wheat
he was 70 plant Then he did anything
but bless the same government for the
restriction on the price Of wheat t-and
that Il the state Of mind at present
for he feels that he could get better
price for his product than the guaran-
tsed and limited one. And last, but
not least, win come the other com
pTSint from the Kansas farmers, when
they, have to pay their income taxes
next year. For It has been cOnserva-
lively estimated that the income the
farmers Of over q dozen counties in
Kansas will have to pay taxes on will
avsiage Sl6OOo.
This brings the farmer into the ex-
cess profits tax class and arOuses envy
In the breast Of the gentleman farm
er Of the East, who doesn't see how =
mefe farmer can do it..
Incidentally, the situation in Kansas
brings joy to the harvesters. Any
scale for harvest hands that might
have been determined upon went by
the beard long ago. Any demands Of
the workers, in reason or out Of rea-
son, have been met. Wages range
from $40 TO SIS per day, and trains
carrying men, guarded and locked IN
the cars, through to other harvest
fields, have been stormed by farmers
wanting hands, an deven higher prices
offered the harvesters who would de-
sert the men who employed them.

JUST A PRANK OF FATE
Terry McGOvern's Son Teaches New
Game to "YOung COrbett's" Brother

From the Kansas City Star:
New York, July 22.-Up aloft in
tiny band box, so cramped for space
that you couldn't slip a cigarette pa
per between 'em, two boys worked to-
gether today as tutor and pupil who,
by rights, might have been chasing
one another around a 24-foOt ring.
For Joe McGovern, 2O-year-Old son
of Terrible Terry, the old time feather
weight champion, is teaching the
tricks of the Broad Street curb brok-
erage game to Jimmy Rothwell. And
Rothwell is the brother of Billy Roth
well, the "YOung COrbett" who came
out of the West years ago and
knocked Terry McGovern loose from
his championship and his fortune.
Both are employed by Charles A.
Stoneham to speak the sign language
of the "street" for the brokerage
house. Rothwell is taking his lessons
from young MeGovern and is "coming
along" in his new job.
Joe McGovern and his now widowed
mother live together in a small Brook
lyn apartment on JOe's earnings, new
.er a cent of which came from the ring.
II never. saw a prize fight in my
life," said the young broker today,
Hand / have no desire to follow box
ing. Why should / bother to see
lot of prize ring false alarms? But
it's strange that the brother Of the
man who defeated dad should be
working alongside Of me. And we get
along like brothers"
RothweIl says he was inspired to
buck the game of life in New York by
the successful example of a Denver
girl who came here alone and unknown
and became a movie star.

HOW TO CAN PEACHES

In canning peaches sort the fruit
and select firm, sound, uniform
peaches. The soft or broken ones may
be. used for jam. Remove the peel
with a knife, with boiling water or
with a boiling lye solution. If boiling
watec is used, immerse peaches about
one minute or until the skins slip
easily. Remove and plunge for an
instance into cold water. Slip off the
skins, cut in halves and pack at once
into jars which have previously been
boiled Is minutes.
Some peaches have skins which will
not slip off after treating with clear
boiling water. For them or for any
peaches, the lye method of peeling
may be used when they are firm, per-
feet and not too ripe. Have ready a
boiling lye solution (four tablespoons
of commercial concentrated lye to
four quarts of water). Drop the
peaches into this for about 20 to 80
seconds. Lift out and drop into clear
boiling water for 80 seconds. Remove
The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1919-08-27
ard place for an instant in cold water
The skins will lthen come off easily.
Cracked Pits in Jars.

Before preparing the fruit, make
syrup of seven cups of sugar to four
quarts of water or, if richer syrup
is desired use II cups of sugar to four
quarts of water. Allow one cup of
water for each quart jar. Put one
cracked peach pit for every quart of
syrup into it. Boil syrup for five
minutes.
The peach halves should be placed
in the jar in overlapping layers, the
concave surface of each half being
downward. Sometimes very large
peaches are canned whole in a heavy
syrup. These are called Melba peaches
When the jar is full of peaches, fill
with hot syrup and, with wooden
paddle or knife, carefully remove air
bubbles.
Partially seal the jars with Mason
tops, screw half way on; with glass
tops, put top wire bail in position) .
If hot water bath canncr either com.
mercial or home made, is used, place
fcient water in the boiler to process
them. The water should cover the top
Of the jars.
Test Sea! md Store.
Boil quart jars ir water bath for 20
minutes; two quar- jars, 35 minutes
Count time when water starts boiling
vigorously after the lars are put into
it. Remove, tighten tops and invert
to test for leaks. Store in COOL dark,
dry place.
If firm, perfect peaches are hoatcd
in boiling water for about 20 seconds
after being peeled, they are more hex-
ible, pack to better advantage, absorb
more syrup and are finer in flavor. Cut
in half and remove pits after floating
in the boiling water.-Unitcd States

to the Mexican press statements re-
garding the government standpoint on
the questions at issue and the means
which Mexico can rightfully adopt to
meet foreign governmental representa-

who have been intimating that sabinet
changes were necessarily preliminary
to meeting the present international
problems.
Taking up figures which he said
were recently quoted in the United

debt, Senor Cabrera asserted that in
cluding every item, Mexican's obliga-

that the total debts could be given
roughly as follows:
