LA 'situaci6n dentro de un ano?
|Sobre este punto Mr.. Houston no
Ise atreve ayenturar una predic-
cion. "Hay que considerar-di-
Ice que las naciones eurOpeas no
Iomitiran esfuerzo alguno para
producer todo aquello que puedan
cosechar pronto; este es, granos
para hacer pan y forrajes. ST ell
orden Sc restablece y todo vuelve
a la regularidad, aquellos paises
haran esfuerzos sistematicos para
producer la mayor parte possible
de 10 que consumer. Las restric-
Clones cOmerciales que hoy existen
iran siendo suprimidas gradual
mente, y los transportes, asf te-
rrestre como marftimos han de
mejorar pronto."
Ha agregado el Secretario, que
Europa no Sc ha de proveer
eXclusivamente en- los Estados
Unidos, 81 no que 10 hara tambien
en- sus mercados anteriores. Este
iailo la cosecha de la Argentina no
ha sido muy grande, pero tambien
Ialli hay un sobrante exportable !;
como 10 hay EN- Australia, donde
la cosecha es satisfactoria, y en-
Argelia de 25 millones de "bu-
shels".
Por donde Sc We que hay ciertas
iprobabilidades de que a fines de
1919 en- 1920 baje algo Ell precio
de los viveres, no mas que algo ;
puesto que va habfa subido antes
de la guerra, y las causas que ha-
bfan determinadO la subida-y
a.
sobre las cuales sc ha discurrido
mucRo y que no han sido todas
puestas en- claro-no han desapa-
lfecido. Y, por supuesto, la baja
que venga sentira al por mayor y
en-, la primera materia, pero ape
mas, o NADIA, al pOr menor y en- el
articulO elaboradO; porque, como
ha escrito a un peri6dico un con-
sumidor agriado, "compro' pan
desde hace cuarenta ai1os; el tri-
go desde entonces ha estado caro-,
unas veces y barato otras, pero el
ipan nunca Sc ha abaratado. Lo
r1nico, que ha disminuido ha ssido
su peso"
Comentando esta, ha escritc
otro consumidor: "Lo mismo me
sucede a mi desde hace veintitan-
tos amos; y quiero manifestar algO
que me atOrmenta ell cerebrO. Ha
salido en- estos tiltimos tiempos al
mercadO un pan hecho con harina
de trigo complete, puesto que Sc
iaprovecha todo ell grano; ese pan
debiera ser mas barato que ell anna.
sado con harina blanca, y sin EN-
barge, es mas caro-. iQuien me
explica este misteriO?"
para que achat for? ST fuese
explicado, perderfa su encanto,
Iporque cesarfa de ser misterio".
i No rasguemos-dice Ell poeta-el
velo de la diosa!"
Ell que los precios de los where's
sigan siendO ''relativamente al.
tOs" este ailO-como anuncia el
Secretario Houston-y Ell que si-
gan siendolo por largos a1os-

RI SSIAN SUNFLOWERS WERE
SUCCESSFULLY GROWN HERE
Experiments on Small Scale Proved
That Our Climate Will Produce
Them in Large Tonnage. Question
or Silos Next.

A great many experiments with
suntlowers We're made by Gunnison
county folks this summer, most of
them on a small scale, but sufficient
10 demonstrate that the crop can be
grown and successfully in our alti-
tude. The most important part was
the determining that the young tender
plants stood the freeze of June 1st,
and came on. making full heads.
There rs not one year in twenty-five
that will show As severe weather in
June as that freeze, so that it is evil
IDENTIFY perfectly safe to plant fairly
early in May We have noted several
patches that would have produced at
the rate of twenty TO thirty tons of
feed to the acre if handled on COM
mercial scale. The difficulty with
feeding a small lot is of course. that
the stalks must be chopped up. Cat
tie are very fond of the sweet pith to
the Russian sunfower but cannot
crush the heavy stalk unless chop
ped fine. Horses, however, will eat
them root and branch.
The future of the sunfower is. of
course in the silo. All over the low
er valleys of the Rocky Mountains
this year are fields of hundreds of
Scres, which are now being canned
for winter feed. If we have demon
strated that the crop will stand our
climate, the question of silos is a
! detail.

BEST ADVERTISING FOR
FARM SALES THRU PAPER

Field and FARM
Public sales of farm equipment and
produce are already being announced
in large numbers which calls atten-
tion to an interesting change in the
advertising of these sales. Only a
few years ago the main reliance of
the farmer was the bill or poster.
Now he puts more reliance in the
farm newspaper. This is a change
for greater efficiency In avertising.
When we consider the number Of
farmers reached, the farm journal ad-
vertisment is much the cheaper. Two
hundred sale bills, 12 by is inches,
which is the customary number and
size, cost to $500 to $40 on the aver
age. They get good posting in part
only; for the remainder they are not
seen by many men. The same amount
Of money put into a good farm
journal or your best local paper will
reach thousands of the most careful
readers, the very people who would
naturally attend the farm sales. Wher-
ever farmers have carefully watched
their sale advertising they are strong
in their endorsement Of their local
paper.

GOOD FARM MACHINERY
A VALUABLE ASSET

Field and FARM
Nothing pays so well on the farm
as good tools and machinery. Man
can do much with his hands and a hoe,
but he can do vastly more, and do it
better and easier with good imple-
ments. Farming now is not what it
used to be. More must be done now
than was necessary or was possible so
years ago, because conditions of liv-
ing have changed since then. We can
live better and we do live much better
produce of the land are gradually in
creasing in demand and prices as the
years go by, and anything grown on
the ranch san be sold at any season at
remuneratiye prices, which was not
the case in years gone by, when faci-
lities for transportation and distribu-
tion were inadequate and there were
fewer consumers here in hte West.

RALPH TAYLOR KILLS BEAR

an end to the existence Of Bruin. The
report adds that Mr.. Taylor played an
important part in the execution with
the aid Of a bottle o. camphor, but
particulars on that score Are lacking.
One can't tell whether Ralph scared
the bear into paralysis and Mrs. Tay-

animals that can be used for food is
now vital economic problem and
must continue to grow in importance
with the ever increasing population to
feed on the one hand, and the increase
ed animal losses from disease on the
other.
True, there has been great progress
in the control of animal disease and
eternal vigilance on the part of feder-
al authorities has kept out several of
tn dreaded foreign animal scourges.
Destructive animal plaques that have
become thoroughly established in
foreign countries have been kept out.
Contagious pieuropneumonia and foot
and mouth disease that were imported
from Europe have become completely
eradicated- The greater losses now
are from tuberculosis which is widely
disseminated; contagious abortion in
cattle which is attended with sterility,
calf scour, calf pneumonia and disease
OF the udder; hog cholera; anthrax !;
shipping fever of horses; blackleg and
hemorrhage septicemia which is mani
Tested as "stockyard fever" in cattle,
swine plague in hogs, and "fowl
cholera" in poultry. 1t has been salts
factoriiy demonstrated hog cholera
and blackleg can be successfully con-
trolled by vaccination and anthrax
should probably be included in this
category More or less success has
been attended with vaccination for
other diseases. While our losses ag-
greae nearly quarter of billion dol
lars annually, yet this is small COM
pared to what they would be if our
herds and flocks were being continual
ly decimaeted by animal scourges
which are indigenous to the Orient.

The beans are a new variety desig-

a species imported few years ago
from Australia. The ones shown here
were grown by Billy Thomas and are
from two feet to two and half feet

the bean is cut in slices and cooked

RAISING WAGES
FOR employees
Municipal Commission Tn Session
To Decide On Salary Increase
In Departments.

The Rock Island municipal com
mission today tackled a problem
which has been yexing it for some
weeks.
The matter of increasing sala-
ries of the police and fire depart
ments and certain other city en-
ployes was taken up with the idea
of reaching some decision before
the close Of day. The commission
went into session this morning
took a recess al noon and sailed
forth into the perplexing financial
issues involved in the problem
again this afternoon.
Naturally the first question 10 be
determined fully was the attitude
of the members on the matter OF
the income. This was rapidly dis
posed of by the body, as it has
been generally understood that the
city heads recognize completely
the need of advancing tie pay Of
the men.
The most troublesome feature is
the matter of financing the in
crease. The commission is anxious
to elevate the pay of the men TO
the basis recently established by
the city of Moline but this involves
the question of whether or not the
municipality can afford it with the
budget of the general fund antici-
pated at only S284,6o0 The mat
ter of a supplemented tax ordi-
nance TO levy an emergency street
and bridge tax OF 2jc on the 500
valuation was discussed in this
connection. II was generally stated
that the city will have difficult
time increasing the salaries with
out the fund this levy will bring IN,
or through some other additional
means.
Talk Aerial Truck.
It was planned before the after
noon session had terminated 10
discuss the matter OF purchasing
an aerial ladder fire truck, the mat
ter being in line with discussion
of finances but it was fully de-
termined to take care of the in
crease in pay to employees before
consideration OF purchasing new
equipment is given.
