Business and Finances

OF the snort interests in the prominent

with the labor situation clearing, Wal
street is inclined to give more atten.
ton to net earnings, and for this rea.
son such issues as Crucible Steel
chandler Motors, General Motors
otudebaker, etc, are coming in for
their share of attention.
For the most part the boand markc,
has been dull with prices in several
groups receding to low levels for the
year, and in the railroad bonds, to the
lowest prices in their history. Inevt.
ment bankers believe that the low
point has ben reached and passed, an |
that henceforth prices will show ar
upward trend. Underwriters share
this opinion, and are consequently pre-.
pairing to float many new issues in
September and October.
Many New Securities.
Financing by American railroad and

Cummins Railroad Bill

Railroad bankers and executives are
not inclined to show much enthusiasm
over the railroad bill introduced in the
senate by Senator Albert B. Cummins.
Sentiment, however, seemed to lean
toward opposition to the measure be-
cause of several of its provisions,
among which were those features of
the Plumb bill which were embraced
and representation of employees and
the public in the supervision and man
agement of the roads. In some quar-
tiers the representation of employees is
considered fair but dangerous, in that
such representation might very easily
result in the entrance of politics into
the management of the railroads. One
corporate railroad manager character
lied the bill as ga clever political
move" It appeared to be the general
belief that railroad labor will not ap-
prove the proposals contained in the
bill that strikes and lockouts be pro-
hibited under fine and imprisonment
penalties.

VALUE IS
SHOWN BY CROP
Potato Producers Profit By Care.
full Selection of
TuberS

(By f. R. Bennett, Field Horticul-
turist Extension Division, University
of Idaho.)
Some farmers in Idaho are now har-
vesting potato crop that is making
them a gross increase of more than
$4OO per acre-200 sacks per acre-and
selling around two dollars per hundred
pounds. These farmers have neigh
bors who are farming equally good
land and are harvesting 100 sacks of
proportion of the latter yield is grad
ing No. or culls.
What and why the difference
From the standpoint of profit, the
first class of men are receiving a net
profit of their land from 5000 to $3.50
per acre. The low yield land is giving
a return that hardly more than pays
the cost of production.
The cause of this difference in pro-
duction is in most cases one or more
of three factors: i. e., soil preparation,
cultural methods, and seed.
Seed Most Important.
The geratest of these is seed. A
good crop cannot be grown from poor
seed. The difficult part of the work
is to know and secure good seed. The
appearance of potatoes at planting time
does not necessarily determine their
value as seed. Small potatoes may be
good seed and large potatoes may be
poor seed. The test of good seed is
its ability to reproduce good product
and that abundantly. The small or
medium sized potatoes from good,
healthy, productive plants or the pota-
toes from healthy plants that are small
because of insufficient plant food
moisture or short growing season as
a general rule have better reproductive
powers than diversified potatoes.
| Good commercial seed potatoes will
be more than usually scarce this COM
ing season, owing to the excessive
drought that has prevailed over the
northwest potato growing districts
If seed for next seasons planting is
to be purchased it had best be secured
this fall, so that the planter may see
that it is properly cared for during the
winter. If home grown seed is to be
used it should be selected this fall
preferably before the crop is dug. II
hand selecting seed for the next sea-
sons planting ia impracticable be-
cause of the excessive labor, a few
sacks at least should be selected from
the most productive, healthy hills sc
as to have good seed with which tc
plant seed lot next year.
Diseases Frequent.
Stem and tuber diseases are coming
to be more and more common in the
potato fields of idaho. We have seer
many badly diseased fields this sea
son and some that were almost en-
tirely free from all disease. The only
way to prevent the occurance Of
these diseases is to plant disease fret
seed. The only way to get disease
free seed is to take it from disease
free plants. 1t cannot be selected
from the bins where disease is pres
ent. The time will soon be here when
this work of improving the potato
crop must be done, if at all this year
A few hours work in most fields will
make possible the perfect stand oil
high producing plants next year
Without the good seed, the unprofit.
able crop will result next season as i
this year.

welcome the oppor-

property on Manhattan,
anywhere south of 59th

: We may be able to show

even though today it bears
but a ram-shackle shanty
or an old-tirne residence.
It matters not whether
the plot be on Fifth Avenue

Our experience will show,
first, what type of building
is most profitable for the
locality. Second, whether
it will be more profitable
to sell to a builder, or to
build, yourself.
That determined, we can
either sell for you, or carry
the job through, from plans

hands a fully rented, paying
property.
If you have a plot that
