Something of Moral in the Careers
of John Burroughs and the
Late Jay Gould

More than seventy years ago two
boys attended the village school of
Roxbury. among the Catskills, tQgeth-
er. They sat in adjoining seats. One
wrote composition for the other. and
charged him 40 cents for the perform
ance. The man who collected the cash
for his writing was Jay Gould. who
died at the age of fifty-six and left an
estate valued at $700O0.Oo0 The man
who paid cash for the composition
was John Burroughs. the famous
naturalist and writer, who recently
celebrated his eighty-Second anniyer-
sary at his beautiful vine-clad cottage
on the Hudson
Burroughs hasn't been bending all
his efforts TO getting money, although
he has acquired a competence of this

Committee Members Assist


Four bids were received and on the
day of sale three of the bidders were
present and made a personal examina-
ton of the wool before handing in
their bids. The entire committee and
the county agent were present all day
and after all bids had been received
they We're compared and the wool was
sold TO the highest bidder.
All of the following day was devoted
TO grading the wool and weighing the
different grades that each farmer had
delivered. Two members of the COM
mittee took the wool from sacks and
assisted the purchaser in determining
the grades, the third member of the
committee did the weighing and the
county agent recorded the weights and
grades on the proper page of the note
book.
The next step in the transaction was
TO find the total number of pounds of
wool of each grade and determine the
total amount to be paid for all of ii by
the purchaser, who gave a check to
the committee for the entire amount.
This check was deposited in Il local
bank to be drawn upon in RENTING to
the farmers.
AS the last step in the transaction,
the county agent figured out what each
member of the pool should receive for
his wool and sent check for the
amount. The marketing expenses We're
prorated among the members.

More uniform prices for wool and a
more dependable market as result of
competitive bidding for the community
clip have resulted in Marion county,
Missouri, where the local wool crop
has been sold in the bulk during the
last two seasons. Last year 40 farm
ers pooled 1888 pounds of wool.
while this year 81 farmers have dis
posed of 16,015 pounds of wool. The
price received for the last clip was
5SA cents pound for native first and
So cents for western long. This price
averaged at least 3 cents pound
higher than was bid by local buyers,
SO that pooling enabled the farmers TO
realize $3.50 46 more than by individual
sales. The farmers are greatly
pleased with results and indications
are that many more Will market their
clips in neighborhood fashion.
How Pool Was Organized.
The county agent early in the year
asked all the farmers who pooled their
wool last season whether they desired
to continue the marketing practice.
IoliulldI IttleIS were sent ~ OlIitTS WHO
were known TO have sheep but who
had not previously pooled their wool.
Subsequently the county agent sent
letters TO leading wool buyers of that
section inviting them to make bids on
the wool on or before the date indi-
Gated for its sale.
Another set of letters told the farm
ers where and when to deliver the
wool and also that they could obtain
sacks and Irvine from the county
agent at a cost of so cents Il sack and
D. cents a pound for Irvine. During
the time of wool delivery the county
agent. or some member Of the wool
pooling committee, was constantly
present at the storeroom. A shipping
tag was tied near the open end of each
sack, and on it was written the name
and address of the owner as well as
the number of sacks and fieeces which
he delivered. Similar data were writ
ten at the top of a page in a small
notebook kept by the county agent.
The remainder of the page was left

inches of earth. 1t is good plan TO
place the major portion of the crop in
banks or pits and small quantity in
the storage room in the basement or in
the outdoor storage cellar for immedi-
ate use.
Sweet potatoes should be mature
when dug and should be left exposed
for a few hours to dry off the surface
moisture before being placed in stor-
age They should be handled carefully
at all times. as they are bruised easily.
This crop may be kept in pits or
banks or In outdoor storage cellars,
but warm. dry place is preferable.
When stored in pits or banks sweet
potatoes are handled In much the same
way as beets or other root crops When
kept in specially constructed storage
house. either in bulk or in crates, the
potatoes should be cured for about ten
days or two weeks at a temperature of
IS degrees TO so degrees F. After the
curing period the temperature should
be reduced gradually to about IS de-
grees F. and maintained at that point
or as near ii as practicable for the re-
mainder of the storage period When
well natured before digging, carefully
handled, well cured and held at uni
form temperature OF about So degrees
F., sweet potatoes may be kept
throughout the winter and spring.
When only a few bushels of sweet pO-
tatoes are to be stored. they may be

No Cause for
High Coal Price

WASHINGTON, Aug. 16.-Reply-
ing to a senate resolution, Director
General of Railroads Hines informed
the senate today that while there had
been some car shortage in the bitumi-
nous coal districts, he did not "an-
ticipate any shortages in transporta-
ton which will be in any sense ex-
ceptional or abnormal or which will
justify oppressive prices for coal"
"Th@great danger that confronts
the public in this matter" the direc-
tor general asserted, "is that any
shortage either in production by the
mines or in transportation may be
exaggerated so as to serve as a pre-
text for heavy increases in the coal
prices which in my opinion are already
high, generally speaking. 1t is worthy
of serious consideration whether con-
greosionGl action can be taken to pro-
tect the public under these circum-
stances from excessive coal prices. "

Allied Council
Believes Army Is
Needed Budapest

PARIS, Aug. 16.-The peace con-
ference, it became known today, is
changing entirely its attitude toward
the Roumanian army in Budapest.
The conference, it is learned, is not
disposed to ask the Roumanians to
leave the Hungarian capital imme-
diately, despite the fact that the su-
preme interallied council asked the
Roumanians not to enter Budapest.
While the supreme council is indig-
nant over Roumanian seizures of sup
plies in Hungary preparatory to ship
ping them to Roumania, many dele
gates to the conference are of the
opinion that it will be necessary for
the Roumanian troops to remain in
Budapest to steady the situation, at
least temporarily.
The council today was still without
direct reply from the Roumanian
government to the ultimatum which
it sent Roumania last week.
