Drug plants are extensively cult
waited by the farmers in Europe who
find in them source of revenue which
supplements their other small crops.
Up to the time of the war hardly any
drug plants were grown in this coun-

the American people will go back to
their former dependency on the Eu-
ropeans for their drugs or will produce
their own.

Among the problems of the wheat
farmer has been that of the disposal
of his straw. On many of the large
wheat ranches it has been the practice
to burn the straw stacks in the fall
after thrashing and, while some Of the
potash has been preserved for the soil
in the ashes good deal Of the fertil.

and other gasses.
William Benson, of San de Fuca on

Money in Berries
What appears to be a record for the
section in berry growing was made
by G. D. Eells in the Rose Hill district
back of Kirkland. He has six rows Of
raspberries each one hundred feet
long and from these he sold $237
worth of fruit. Unfortunately he did
not keep any record of the number of
boxes, only of the sales. At the same
rate an acre would bring in about
$4,000.

Favorable Trade .
Omens False, Says
German Ministry
Excess of Expectation Over
Imports Said To Be More
Apparent Than Real: Will
Change Valuation Method

An official review of the foreign
trade Of Germany for 1919 and the frs.
five months OF 1920 has been made b.
the German Ministry of Economics.
Although there was a favorable bal
ance OF trade in April and May last.
the N nistry of Economics indicates
that this is not to be regarded as 3
change IN the commercial trend.
Excess Of imports over exports Is
shown Tor both periods reviewed By
the ministry. In 1919 the excess was
100000 marks; in the first five
months Of 1920 it was 4.792 900 ,0Oo
marks. The disproporton between i'm
ports and exports had been lesseninc
gradually nee October, 1919. IT.
April. 1920, the exports exceeded the
imports for the first me, the excess
of exports amounting to $4,000 oDu
marks. In May last, the last month for
which trade statistics are available, tho
excess of exports rose to l,l10,0 600 00u
marks.
The reversal of the trade balance ir
April and May of 1920 is said to be ex-
planned in part by the fact that the
were free from export duties. The
manufacturers and merchants, it is
stated, made haste to fill current or
ders as soon as possible in order to
obtain the benefit of the exemptions.
Considerable quantities of goods pun
chased or ordered by foreign visitors
at the Leipzig Fair are reported to
have been shipped in April and May.
The Ministry of Economics quotes
from the Handelsbcrchten of October
2S to the effect that the favorable bal
ance Of trade is more apparent thar
real. at seems to be due to the method
of valuation rather than to an actua.
increase of exports" it is stated. "ln
Germany declared values are registered
for all exports, but the value of most
imports is estimated officially on the
basis of average prices prevailing dur
ing the year. For the several months
Of 1920 the imports have been valued
on the basis of prices prevailing i'll
1919, the resulting figure Of imports
being much too low in comparison with
ciatcd in 1920. The exports were stated
in the low marks of 1912, the imports
in the higher marks OF 1919.
arrangements are now being mao
to improve tie method of valuation SO
that real trade balance ma be shown
by the figures Of trade. 1t is probable
that declarations of va ue Will be made

ports.
1t should also be remembered wher
the value Of exports is under consider
alton that the total includes goods de-
livered to the Allied powers as com
pensaton under the treaty Of peace
Such goods cannct properly be CON
sidered articles of commerce. Tne
deliveries of coal alone represent L
value of 792 600 600 marks for the first
five months of 1920, the value being
estimated on the basis Of domestic
