GRAPES IN YOUNG ORCHARDS
There Are Many Districts Where Crop
Might Be Found Profitable on
Local Market.

Grapes can be grown in young or
chards in sections where they will
thrive and it might be mentioned that
there are many districts growing no
grapes where they might be found very
profitable when sold on a local market,
when freshly picked and before they
have been jostled for many miles and
handled by several middlemen.

Washington.-In warning that still
higher prices and greater shortage of

States if foreign purchases be per-
mitted to continue on the basis of the
last few years, the federal reserve
board in it's July bulletin declares that
the war period in expectation has

Shortage in World.
There is a shortage of many essen
tiaI materials and commodities in the
world at large" the board says, "in-
creased credit demand for goods for
expOrt necessarily implies relatively
decreased supply of goods for domestic
use. Demand and supply are auto
matically equalized by changes in
price, but such changes are in the
circumstances here under consldera-
ton necessarily upward. If a large
export financing process is conducted
nv banks out of credit the result is to
place the fluid credit of the country at
the disposal of foreigners in purchas-
ing and settling for domestic products
which they obtain from American pro-
ducers."
Such an addition to credits not based
on genuine savings, the board points
out. would mean imitation, implying an
Increased tendency toward the bidding
up of prices. In order to avoid the re-
cur-ence of such a menace the board

Chicks are as likely to crowd in the

How to Use the Truck.

Hay may be partly cured before it
is placed on the truck to avoid danger
from heating and spelling. 1t is de.

the curing on a truck under cam

hitched to the truck. These trucks
can be used to advantage when pro
tecting bound grain from the rain I'M
til it is ready TO be thrashed and for
hauling to the silo, etc.
1t is estimated that truck and the
necessary canvas e feet by Ia fee)
costs about $40.
While hay trucks have been used
successfully in many parts of the
South, they can be used to advantage
in any locality where there is large
acreage of hay, especially alfalfa, and
where hay making is more or less
hazardous undertaking on account of
the prevalence of rainy or cloudy
weather. The additional cost in cur
ing hay when the truck method Is used
is more than offset by the gain in eff
ficiency, considering the average loss
of hay cured by ordinary methods In
rainy weather.
How the Truck Is Made.
A hay truck IL feet long by Z feet
wide will hold about 1900 to 1000
pounds of cured hay. 1t consists of
a rack which rests on an A-shaped
frame. At the rear, the frame is sup
ported by two 16 to 20 inch wheels
placed about feet from the end.
The front is supported by 6 by S-inch
wooden block of sufficient length to
hold the truck level. This is known as
the trigger, and is fastened by heavy
bolt between the two main frame tim
bers near where they come together.
Upright standards are placed at each
end of the frame in an A-shaped posi-
ton. At the top Of each standard a
notch is cut to receive a 2 by inch
ridge pole that supports the canvas
covering and keeps 1t from lying fiat
on the hay, thus permitting the air to
circulate freely at the top. The truck
is moved by means of 2-horse team
and a 2-wheel running gear, similar to
the front running gears of low-wheel-
ed wagon. This gear is attached
to the front end of the truck by means
of a long clevis pin, and when the
team starts the forward movement
causes the trigger to trip and drag
on the ground, the weight of the load
being thus shifted to the running
gears. Upon reaching the barn or
baling machine the team is backed a
step or two, which causes the trigger
to assume an upright position and
again support the front end Of the
load.
