WHEAT PRICES
TAKE SLUMP

1t was not entirely unexpected
that wheat prices would slump, but
1t makes the cut none the less hard
on the farmer who has produced the
crop.
Notwithstanding the difliculty of
getting the wheat offered for sale
to market and in spite Of a common
belief that the wheat crop Of tho
country is far from sufficient to meet
the demands Of the world. wheat
prices have continued to decline, and
last week 1t struck the toboggan and
started for the bottom at rate that
astounded everyone.
Sections that had good crops the
past two years were hard hit, and
complain that they cannot stand the
big cut in price. that they are go
Ing to go behind on this seaso IS
crop.
II that is the condition where they
have had two fat years, what will
be the result in this section where
we have had two exceedingly lean
years, years in which not ono fatmer
In ten has broken even on his wheat.
and where many who lost suffered
reverses that were heart breaking
This seasons crop was produced
from the highest priced seed. and
with the highest cost OF production
In history. An exceptionally g.ud
yield may possibly show soms gain
for the producer. but II tho present
price of wheat is the best tina. can
be secured for the crop still IN tho
hands Of the farmer. It spalts ha, u
ship and perhaps financial disaster
for larger number of people In this
section than we like to con.sarlsis
In the face Of such things, every
person must exercise the greatest
economy. all must be unusu .l,y eau
tious In any expenditure tha, can
be avoided and creditors should show
all the leniency possible.
$50 wheat is about half what
the farmer should have for this
years crop
We do not pretend to know Just
what the farmer would have 1, have
for his wheat to keep him raising
this important food stun, but we do
know that II the farmer I'M only

cannot continue to raise It and pay

cry at present prices and wages now

sooner we face this fact the better.
Yesterday the elevators closed
down absolutely and now there Is
no local market for a grain that on

ment was compelling the farmer to
sell at price for below the market
because Of scarcity.

"CATCH-AS-CATCH-CAN'
METHODS OF FARMING
ARE DISCOURAGED

Catch-as-catch-can methods of
conducting the farming business
are being discouraged. through the
efforts of the county agent in
Madison county, Ala. Farmers
were first encouraged to keep ex-
pense on labor accounts on the
growing of a single crop. Stan
dard record books were furnished
for this purpose. The practice
has been a great assistance in the
planning of a subsequent years
work and has resulted in the saw
ing of expenses, the seriousness
of which had not been realized
when no accounts were kept. A
number of farmers who started
keeping accounts have learned the
advantage of having deposit al
the bank and have acquired habits
of thrift.

Since then, as result of his in.

The records he made in the

wars should enable him to dc

APPRECIATION ONE
SECRET OF GOOD SERVICE

A young woman was in the mar
ket one day when a neighbor came
in. The neighbor is a famous
housekeeper. People are always
envying her the charm and order
of her house, and even the excel
lence of her table. "It does seem,"
lady told the girl once, "as if
nobody got such fruit and vege-
tables as Mrs. Patten."
Well, the little lady nodded as
she went by the young woman up
to the butcher, who was trimming
roast for a very particular GUS
toner. "No, l don't want any
thing this morning, Mr.. DELL" the
young woman heard the neighbor
say. 81 just stopped to tell you
how delicious those spring chick
ems were that you sent me yester-
day. l had guests for luncheon,
and l wanted everything particu-
larly nice. Thank you very much"
That was all. The butcher
beamed, and Mrs. Patton went on
her way, but the listening young
woman was suddenly convinced
that she had discovered secret
worth knowing. people say that
Mrs. Patton always gets the best
of everything. Maybe that's be-
cause she gives the best apprecia-
tion in return" she thought
"There are a dozen people who
will scold the butcher over the
phone because the meat is tough,
but not many who think to men,
tion the fact that the chickens
that he sent were fine"
1t is not safe to pass over too
many failures, for fear the con-
clusion should be reached that we
don't care. But the secret of get
ing the best is often nothing more
than the ready appreciation which
meets every honest effort half
way.

NEICHBOR MARY.
LAND COMMENDED
FOR ROAD POLICY
Constant Patrol and Speedy
Repair Keep Highways
In Good Condition

1t is better to build "a cheap
road and keep it in good condition
by adequate maintenance than to
build the most expensive highway
and permit it to deteriorate for
want of care, says officials of the
Bureau of Public Roads of the
United States Department of
Agriculture.
Maryland, which has one of the
finest systems of improved high
ways in the United States, if not
the best, has consistently followed
this practice. The originally i'm
proved roads in Maryland were
comparatively inexpensive, cost
ing only what the taxpayers We're
willing to pay for The first few
years the average cost was less
than $4,000 a mile. In some cases
the work entailed considerable
grading and drainage, but in
others it amounted simply to re-
surfacing the old turnpikes, which
had already been graded and
drained.
Generally the roads built al
that time were macadam, IL feet
wide and inches thick. Soon the
width was increased to IA feet
Later many were widened still
farther, some very successfully
by adding concrete shoulders or
each side of the existing ma
cadam. This method Of improv'
ing roads makes it possible fol-
traffic to continue unimpeded or
the road while the work is going
on.
The macadam roads in Mary
land have given very good salts
faction, but continuous care has
been largely responsible for theil
success. The roads are constant
ly patrolled and no hole of any
size is allowed to go unrepaired
Material for patching is kept a
convenient points along the roat
for the use Of the patrolman
From a relatively small invest
ment in admittedly low-type roa'
it builds up a better one from
year to year, always conservin,
the bulk of the previous invest
ment.
