the North Atlantic, the South Allan
tic, and the South Central.
Among these three groups Of
States. the greatest improvement is
in the North Atlantic ad the least is
in the South Atlantic. and these ex-
tremes of high and low improvement
are not eQualed by the North Central
and Western States, in almost the
same as that of the entire country.
The improvement is evenly, distrib-
uted throughout all State groups,
except the North Atlantic States,
where the grain is twice as great as
oneach of the other groups of states.
Apart from tendency toward re-
lief from labor scarity from 1918 to
1919. the situation this year is less
favorable on the Atlantic coast,
from New England to the South At
lantic States as a group than in the
States west OF the Appalachian Mount
aims as groups. and in this long strip
of coast the situation is worse in the
South Atlantic group OF States.

BULL ASSOCIATIONS PROSPER

A bull association would be a pay
ing enterprise for our county, but
the farmers here simply wont pull
together on any proposition.
This is the usual answer Il rtpro-
sentative from the United States de
partment of agriculture gets when he
goes into a new community and asks
the Individual farmers about the fea-
sibility of organizing bull associa-
ton. But 55 bull associations have
been organized in 81 states and are
successfully operating. A specialist
from the Dairy division OF the Unit
ed States Department CT Agriculture
recently returned from Two months
"trip in Kansas, Oklahoma, Geots ia,
Louisiana, Tennessee and Mississippi
In those states he assisted in the M
tial steps fos the organization Of IA
more bull associations.
The first bull association was or
ganizcd in Michigan In 1905. Since
then 90 other states have taken up
this work. Not single farmer has
ever lost dollar by belonging. Bet
ter bulls are obtained for less money.
Better dairy offspring results. More
milk is produced for the same money
The investment for the individual
farmer is small and the returns are
sure.

City Mo, has made a record in keep
ing poultry which many who have
eyes have not equaled Moving am
ong his birds, which seem to under
stand how he is handicapped, and
guided only by his sense of touch, he
performs his daily work. He has
built his own poultry house and brood
coops, and has Matched ad raised all
his chicks. Blindness does not pre-
vent him from culling his flock. The
birds not intended to be kept are
marketed as broilers, and the others
are kept for the production of winter
eggs.
Mr.. Jones attended every poultry
meeting held in his section last fall.

courage Mildew.

prepared by the United States Depart
y. ment of Agriculture.)
A place with good air drainage Is
preferred for gooseberries. In low,
damp places mildew attacks both fruit
and foliage more severely than on
higher, sites where the air circulation
is better. Currants, however, are sell
dom severely attacked by mildew.
Therefore, when the site is a sloping
one, currants may be planted on the
lower parts and gooseberries above.
AS both fruits blossom very early in
the spring, neither should be planted
In low pockets where late spring
frosts may kill the flowers.

PLANT PEACH TREEIN SPRING
Reasonably Loose Soil Is Essential
and Should Be Prepared by
Flowing and narrowing.

Peaches need reasonably loose soil
and will not thrive If grown in sod,
for any considerable length of time.
The soil should be prepared in good
filth by blowing and narrowing.
Peaches are SO often injured by
severe cold, that in a majority Of cases
spring planting is preferable to fall,
but It is an item to make all the prepa-
ration possible in advance 50 that at
the first favorable opportunity in
spring planting can be done.
With peaches nearly or quite all Of
the pruning should be done in the
spring. There is so much risk in the
new growth being killed, and, Of course
It will need to be cut out in the spring,
that it is best to defer the pruning
until early in the spring. The peach
needs severe pruning annually-from
one-third to one-half the new growth
should be gut out. This will aid ma
terially in securing a better quality
of fruit.

Gooseberries ordinarily are propa-

from which layers are to be procured
should be cut back heavily before 1t

it will have sent out numerous vigor-
Gus shoots. 1t should then be mound

may then be cut off and set in the

PLAN TO FLOOD
 MARKET WITH
 GERMAN GOODS

Milan. Tuesday. May 27.-Immense quantities of German products are stored in warehouses at Chiasso, on the frontier between Italy and Swift zerland and Germany plans to renew immediately her commercial rela- tions with Italy, according to Ulysses Bywater, of the Chambe of Com merce of the United States.
 There are thousands of bicycles of German manufacture at Chiasso ready to flood the market" MT. By water told The Associated Press to- day. There are also carloads of chemicals and dyestus which have all ready been offered Italian merchants a extremely low prices. The high rate of American exchange makes Italian trading with Americans moss difficult while the German market is at it's lowest ebb. This makes the price when translated into fires, most attractive. The dollar exchange costs the Italians three times as much as the mark exchange. Naturally the prices of German goods in fires are very low. There is a sure American market here but the monetary situa- ton is very hard and will be solved only by another American loan or by the payment of a large war indem nity to Italy,"

SAD TALES OF THOSE ESCAPED
 FROM THE REDS

Omsk. Siberia, May 29.-(Corres- pondence of The Associated Press)- A thread of suffering runs through the stories told by the refugees from all parts of European Russia, hun dreds of thousands of whom have found asylum here. Almost all of them fled from Bolshevik territory. They tell of murder of the members of their families, deprivation of prop erty, savage treatment, hunger and terrible hardship of their flight from Rolshevik bandits.
 The correspondent of The Associat- ed Press talked with number of these refugees in order to learn their adventures. Several cases came to light in which girls unable to escape before the approaching Bolsheviki shot themselves rather than fall into the hands of the terrorists. The wife of a Russian colonel now at Omsk said to the correspondent:
 We lived q life of comfort and contentment on our land not far from Samara. Warned by our peasants we fled across the hills hidden in a farm cart. My cousin, q girl of IS, who thought she could not escape, took j revolver from the desk in her draw ing room and shot herself through the head because she knew what her fate would be. You can understand why it is difficult for US to believe in Bolshevism.'
 This preference for death rather than capture by Bolsheviki seems to be prevalent among the young wo- men and girls of former well-to- do families of European Russia who are now in Omsk. The wife of an assist a girl of 25, fled from Bessara bia The girl said with quiet Russian fa- talism: If the Bolsheviki succeed In getting to Omsk I shall shoot my self.''
 Some stories tell of . the famine which existed in the district of the Ural Mountains. When relief train arrived at Kalrna not far from Perm it was surrounded by children beg ging for bread. A man of 72 years was so overcome when he received a loaf or bread that he tainted and two little children, when given bread, became insane from sudden joy.
 The refugees tell of several cases in which peasants murdered the pro- prietors of the land upon which they lived in order to obtain possession of the farms. On the other hand some of the peasants imperilled their own lives to help the land holders to es- cape from the Bolsheviki.
