A GOVERNMENT WARNING

Prices of farming lands in many
sections of the United States, espe
cially in Iowa and the other Corn Belt
States, have risen with such rapidly
that serious consequences may be ex
pected, especially with the return OF
normal conditions. This is a warning
to farmers issued by the United States
Department of Agriculture.
Spectators, many of them business
men of the cities, IL many cases have
reaped big profits by buying and re
selling without making any substantial
contribution in return. Farmers have
sold land at prices that seemed high
and then have bought again at still
higher figures, losing thousands OF
dollars in the exchange. The bona
fide farmer who purchases land a
present high prices may find the re
turns on his investment abnormally
small if earnings should decline wher
normal conditions are restored, and
may find himself seriously embarrassed
if he has financed the purchase largely
on credit.
That Is a summary of the situation
as it is viewed by investigators of the
Bureau of Farm Management SEN by
the department into the regions o.
most marked speculative activity
Here is a summary of their advice
which is broadly applicable probably
to the majority of farmers in the
regions affected, though it may not Fl
every individual case:
Much of the present speculative &C
tivity has been due to the fact thai
spectators have been able to catch
some farmers unawares, buying theil
farms at a much lower figure thar
was justified in relation to prices II
adjoining regions. Therefore yor
should be careful about selling to {
speculator who is buying to sell again
1t it Is worth more to him it probably
may be worth more to you. If you
own a farm and desire to continue
farming be very sure before selling
that you al obtain out of the pro
ceeds of your sale as good a farm a.
you have sold.
II you desire to purchase a farm
you should very sure that the price
you pay is fully justified by the prob
able net earnings of the farm whel
! conditions become more normal.

menu consisted of club corn, sand
witches, jelly, tomato salad, cookies and
coffee. 1t is planned that these month

cents instead of Is cents to make this
possible.
Reports from the Geneva conference
made up the program. Miss Ella
Swanson who went as a board repre-
sentative. but is also a Business Girls
Club member, told of the trip and To-
cation of the conference. This lake,
nineteen miles in circumference, and
of crystal clearness, is a ~favorite re-
sort of many Chicago people, as it is
only a two-hour ride out and they
have added to its natural beauty by
building beautiful homes and gardens
on its banks. The boat trip around
the lake gives a good view of some
OF the principal homes, VIM. Wrigley,
Jr., the Uhline gardens and others.
The Yerkes' observatory, just back of
the college camp is opened each year
to the conference members. Almost
any of the umerou paths will lead
one to an interesting place. Besides
College Camp and Conference Point,
which ar, situated about h-mile
apart. there are other camps such as
Eleanor Camp, for Chicago business
girls, Fourth Church Camp, and Holt
day Home for the poor children of Chi
cago.
Miss Edna Jerde, who went as a
representative of the Business Girls
Club, then gave a detailed account Of
the business club discussion and sug-
gestions. The new Federation of Bus.
mess Women's Clubs, which was fos.
tered by the War Work Council OF the

some of the suggestions that were
most favored by the members present.
The program committee will now form

been decided, but 1t will be interesting

Other South Dakota representatives
were Huron, with six dele gates, and
Aberdeen, with four. The total at

Miss Ethel Johnson, who with Miss
Ina Huchendorf, the College Associa-

COUNTRY DAMAGE

The following editorial that APP
peared in a recent issue of the Mem
phis Commercial Appeal is so timely
that we reproduce it, hoping that it
viii cause cotton raisers in Upton
county to adopt some Of the sugges-
lions made in it:
"A bale Of cotton is just as sensi-
tive to damage as bale OF hay on
corn in the shock. Every year mil
lions oil dollars worth Of damage IS
done to the cotton crop by the sheer
neglect OF the growers. THIS year,
IN spite of the high price OF cotton,
farmers and others have permitted
cotton to lie in the open until much
Of it is thoroughly rotten.
"a lot of cotton was taken up at
Corinth, Miss, ia few days ago. Some
Of the bales had as much as zO0
pounds Of rotten cotton. A great deal
of cotton was taken up at Blythe
Vile a day or two ago. The damage
to some Of the bales ran as high as
100 pounds.
ut is not safe to pile cotton on
skids and let it rain on it. 1t is not
safe to leave the cotton exposed on
the platform Of a gin. Any prudent
farmer can put up shed costing no
more than $500 that will keep Do
bales Of cotton entirely weather.

HSome one said few days ago
that southern people know no more
than anyone else about cotton. Ger
tain it is that about three-fourths OF
the cotton growers have no reallza-
ton Of the damage that can be done
cotton after it is baled. This dam
age can be prevented by little
work The damage, therefore, re-
suits from unintelligence and sheer
laziness."
MI. G. P. Walker, superintendent
Of The Churchill compress, tells US
that two bales of cotton brought
to his plant lately lost 800 pounds
each from the above causes, and
that some rs or 80 bales lost as much
AZ 100 pounds each. 1t can readily
be seen how much the farmers lost
on these bales with cotton bringing
80 cents pound. He says that at
least SO per cent Of cotton stored
IL the open has lost by rotting. Cot
ton, he says, must not only be placed
under sheds, but must be put on
skids. thus preventing moisture from
