do, therefore, is to fight the fly in sea

GRAIN QUOTATIONS
:. w. WAGNER & co.'s REvIEw

- w W 5NS'N1N u W. y EVE"
CHICAGO, April 17.--Trade in grain
today has been rather narrow; local
trade has been the principal sellers
with commission houses picking up
offerings on the decline There are
increased complaints from interior
points OF grain deterioration on ac-
count OF unfavorable weather. Sample
values unchanged. Argentine ship
ments liberal. $4,000 this week des-
tined to the United States. After mid.
day some inquiry for corn developed
on reports from Omaha that cash corn
was In active demand and one to four
cents higher. Some of the sellers Of
recent sessions are being committed
to the buying side. Forecast for ma
terial improvement in weather condi-
tons over the belt. The improved
labor situation in New York Harbor
strike also influenced some buying.
Country offerings light. The eastern
demand can be well understood when
1t is stated 1t has not exceeded 10000
bushels daily for the week. The delay
In oats seeding in many sections and
some reports OF replanting are making
friends for oats. There has been some
disposition to sell provisions today.

French Wealth Judged
By Size Of Manure Pile
Now is the Proper Time to Make
Cleaning of all Barns
and Sheds
MOST VALUABLE TO LAND

In such hot dry areas as are
found in Southern Idaho, the humus
or decayfng organic matter, is
burned out of the soil very rapidly.
The mineral plant food, altho abun-
dant in these soils, is made available
only thru the action of bacteria liv-
ing in decaying organic matter, such
as manure.
Without going into detail regard
ing the conservation of manure, the
composing of it ect., permit us to
suggest that right now the best thing
to do is to make a cleaning of all
sheds, barn lots and manure heaps.
Aside from the increased fertility
due to the manure, consider the fact
that there is nothing more disgust
ing, more conducive to the breeding
of flies, insects and disease-nothing
that makes every one wish to leave
the farm more than a foul, smelling
manure heap.
On The other hand, there is moth
ing that costs less and rs worth more
is taken to the field between now and
the time spring work begins and is
evenly spread.
1t has ever been true, that the
question of just how efficient a
farmer is, is answered by detefmin-
ing whether the fertilizing by-pro-
duct of his livestock remains around
his stables and barn lots to breed
trouble, or whether it goes to the
field to yield increased production

Shelley Ponds
Shelley has quite a number of
small ponds around on the streets
this spring, all that is needed now is
for the Shelley gun club to turn loose
bunch Of wild ducks and have a
shooting match right on the bust
ness streets of the town. There was
sign put up near one pond stating
"No shooting or fishing allowed. -"
1t would be good idea for the pro-
gressive citizens and the city council
to get together and devise some good
system Of drainage for the business
streets Of the town, especially. OF
course to install a good drainage
system would cost money, but what
is money for anyway. This town has
bright future, let's prepare now for
that future.
