Houston Says Farm
Products Prices Can
Not Fall First

David f. Houston. secretary OF agri-
culture. does not assent to the theory
that tho prices OF farm products should
fall before the prices OF manufactured
commodities fall. He makes this clear
In replying to a recent communicated
In which IL was stated that "t0erc must
be a drop in prices before there is a
drop in wages, and II would seem that
the farmer Is the man who Is going To
be first hit"
This theory has been advanced by a
number OF manufacturers, said the sec
Rotary who continued. 1T Is clearly an
unjust contention II menifestly would
not do TO ask farmers 20 produce, buy
ing everything that they have TO buy
from manufacturers at high prices,
with the assurance TO them that their
products will fall in price. and thai
then manufacturers will consider what
they will do with reference 10 their
own prices. Obviously, manufacturers
must be willing to make at least a
contemporaneous decrease IN their
prices. II might even be Contended
that they should make a prior de-
crease in their prices, since the farm
ers operations involve year and he
could not recoup for twelve months, or
could not recoup az all because, on
the theory put forth. his products
would fall in price. II seems TO me
that business men must be brought TO
realize that IL we are 70 get back to
the normal they must set about irume-
diately TO do their part. and unques-
tionahly, profiteering in manufactured
products must be eliminated.
"Of course. everything possible will
be done to enable the farmer 10 pro-
duce more economically, so that II
prices do fall. he will not sustain
loss. or so great q loss All the efforts
of the department of agriculture and
OF the land grant colleges have this
aim. They are trying TO bring about
better methods OF cultivation, better
financing better marketing, the elm
nation of plant and animal diseases
and insect pests. and the better ultili-
zation of labor. Much has been done
In this direction. and more will be done
as time passes"

ADVERTISE FOR LAW-BREAKERs
Public Officials in Honolulu Use Novel
Publicity Methods.

Correspondence of Associated Press.l
Honolulu. I. H., Aug. 6.-Newspaper
advertising has found a new field in
Honolulu Paid publicity has been re-
cruited as an aid to the foes of law
lessness. Judge William II. Heen,
who recently took office as city and
county attorney, IS buying space in the
local iailics TO further mis- campaign
against gambling.
The following classified advertise
ment has appeared:
"Wanted-Auy information against
professional gamblers. owners Of gamh-
ling Joints and che-fa bankers. Such
information will be treated conflden
TALLY and. IL reliable. will be paid for,
Section ASA Y. l.. 1915, provides
that persons participating in gambling
games can not be prosecuted IL used

county attorney"
Judge Heen became candidate for
city and county attorney while on the
federal bench here and made profess
sional gambling the issue of the cam
paign. Orientals, il is said, are very
fond of gambling and so conduct their
games that detection and successful
prosecution is difficult. ~

Farm Notes

The average farm implement is only
about half worn out by use alone. The
rest of the wear is due to rust and
decay. Make the greatest possible
profit out of machinery by using it
continuously for profitable work until
it is worn out.
In the improvement Of beef cattle
care has been taken TO develop TO the
greatest extent those portions Of the
body from which are secured the high
est priced cuts Of beef. These points
should be kept in mind when selecting
breeding animals.
Gull out and prepare for market all
fowls. old or young, which appear
weak, slow. or dull; fowls with droop-
ing tails, rough plumage or crow
shaped heads: all scrubs except those
which have laying points; all hens
which mott early; and all males e1
Cept those strong, vigorous, and OF a
pure type desired for breeding.
There are many advantages to be
gained when the stock raisers Of one
community raise the same breed. Bet

The dairy farmer not only studies
low to feed his COW. but how to feed
his land. He is not a soil robber, as
he realizes that the farmer who re
duces the fertility Of mis- land robs
without reason, since he steals from
himself.
Every poultry raiser should make
study of the market demands. A uni
form color Of eggs and flesh in poultry
Is desirable. a mixed flock will not
produce uniform eggs or meat. and
eggs from such a flock are not desir-
able for Matching
Much soil fertility Is lost every win
ter by soil washing or erosion. Put a
stop to it by keeping the billy lands
in sod. planting a clover crop. under
drainage, filing the gullies with brush.
etc.
Straw is too valuable to be allowed
10 remain unused. Fresh oat straw,
as well as wheat straw, can be used as
a roughage in wintering stock. It is
also advisable to use it literally as
bedding for farm animals as it adds to
their comfort and absorbs the liquid
part Of the manure. which is the most
valuable portion.

be, Japan must by force resist any at
tempt at secession.
1T should be noted, however, that
it was only after the Corean govern
ment had failed to maintain law and
order. thereby furnishing frequent rea-
sons for threatened occupation, first
by China and later Russia, that Japan
took over the peninsula Since the
Japanese occupation law and order
have been restored, followed in turn
by marked improvement in the pros
perity Of the natives"
To promote friendlier relations be-
tween the United States and Japan,
Baron Otori proposed get-together
movement Of this kind:
THAT the diplomatic, consular, and
other official representatives, Japa-
nese and American, including those Of
private concerns, be selected from men
willing to give hearty cooperation
toward cementing cordial relations.
THAT scholarships maintained by
public funds be established in the lead
ing American and Japanese UNIVERSE
ties devoted to the history Of litera-
ture Of both countries.
THAT japanese university graduates,
thoroughly familiar with English, be
allowed to matriculate in American
universities for post graduate work
without any qualifying examinations
or limitations.
THAT trade and other commissions.
composed Of leading citizens, exchange
visits for the purpose Of obtaining first

BRITAIN INTERESTED IN DRY U. 8.
British Archdeacon Says Prohibition
MARKS wondsrs in America


Works Wonders in America.
Correspondence Of Associated Press
London. Aug. 2s-Britons are deep
ly interested in what is called the
American Prohibition Experiment"
and every published statement con-
corning the situation and the attitude
Of the American public toward the
new order Is eagerly read.
The latest addition to such contri-
buttons is by the archdeacon Of War
rington, Canon Howson. who has Just
returned from New York, and who
unqualifiedly endorsed the law. His
Impressions, concisely stated, are as
follows:
prohibition has come to stay in the
states. Those most opposed to 1t ac-
cept the inevitable. Those who have
paved the way for 1t are facing law
enforcement. A very large majority.
to judge by hearsay and eyesight,
agree that 1t Is the best thing for
America. The threats Of mo beer, no
work and riot and revolution are
empty vaporings, and the work Of the
states and cities Is going on unim-
paired. Smuggling Of liquor will 60

eminent will have the situation well
