LAND SALES CHECKED.
Tightness Of Money Decreases Pur
chases of Farm Property.

Kansas City, Sept. 7.-Dullness
prevails in the farmland market de-
spite the excellence of the crop
growing season now coming to a
close in the southwest. Tightness Of
money and the receding tendency Of
prices on markets for agricultural
products are the restricting influ-
ences in the sale Of farm land.
Many large land companies, being
unable to discount the mortgages
they take in making sales of their
land, have in many instances de-
cided that it is better to hold their
farms rather than to exchange them
for notes which cannot be "cashed
in.'
From the standpoint of the welfare
of the agricultural industry of the
southwest and for financial reasons,
there is real satisfaction over the de-
cline in farm land transactions. The
boom conditions Of the last two
years led many farmers to make in
vestments which will not yield fair
return when prices of agricultural
products are readjusted downward.
The boom also loaded up many coun-
try banks with notes against farm
land which are today real factor
in the tightness of mony in this ter
ritpry.

WANTS TO UNLOAD CAR LINE.
Cleveland Asked to Take Over
Street Car System.

Street Car System.
Cleveland, Sept. John j. Stan
ley, president, Of the Cleveland Rail-
way Company, proposes that the city
purchase the traction system. The
franchise provides that the city has
the right to acquire the lines at a
fixed price of $110 a shareA for its
stock. This stock is now around
500 in the markets. When this pro-
vision was made the public demand
for municipal ownership was more
noticeable than now.
It would require $3S,000,000 to take
up the stock and bonds, should the
city be able to make such a financ-
ial arrangement. 1t is estimated by
company officials that, under the
present allowance Of twenty eight
cents a car-mile for operating costs,
and ten cents car-mile for main
tenance, there is an operating defi-
cit of two cents a car-mile. An in
crease of four cents car-mile to
thirty-two cents in the operating al
lowance is proposed.
AS the matter stands. cost of SER
vice operation of the Cleveland Rail
was Company is soon to result in
six-cent fare, the maximum rate I'M
der the Cleveland franchise, which
has been adopted as model in
many cities in recent years. The
street car fare rate in this city,
which has continued the lowest Of
the large cities of the country, has
been viewed in the light of a ba-
rometer of street railway conditions.

Connie Mack Must
Strengthen Team or
Get Out of Game

From the councils Of the American
League comes the tip that Connie
Mack and his associates behind the
Philadelphia Athletics will be ordered
to strengthen the Athletic team before
the 1921 season opens or dispose of
the property to syndicate which has
the backing of the circuit moguls
american League club owners
and this includes Harry Frazee, Col
onels Rupert and Houston, and
Charles Comisky--declare they are
sick and tired carrying Mack's imi-
tation ball club along. They add that
they get nothing when they are in
Philadelphia, and that the Athletics
draw nothing when they. are on the
road and consequently are a disgrace
to the circuit.
Altho there is apparently no way
Of connecting this complaint with the
trouble of last spring when Prazee,
Rupert and Comiskey were lined up
against Ban Johnson, it Is generally
supposed that the though Of getting
after the Athletics originated in the
fertile brain of the Yankee chief
Colonel Rupert
But the former recalcitrants of the
American will not have to go far
to gain support for their notion to
have the Athletics bolster their fore
es. Practically all the clubs in the
circuit have complained bitterly of
the poor support given the Ath-
| letics on their home yard, and
nearly every one Of them have

Connie Mack probably has more

working with the team, but of this lot
there is not a dozen with sufficient
promise to make good in a minor lea
que, much less a. major outfit. The
next American League Magnates
meeting is expected to turn some
thing interesting for Mack's special
benefit.

w. r. Wells Succeeds in Keeping
Them From Larva to Set Stage.
BY Associated Press.
West Sayville. N. Y, Sept. T.
Propagation OF young oysters all
ready to "set out" guaranteed to
multiply with proper care into a
flourishing brood, may result from
experiments Just concluded by w. f.
Wells, of the New York conservation
commission, who today reported on
his extensive study Of oyster breed
ing.
Mr.. Wells. at his laboratory on the
shore Of the Great South Bay. has
succeeded in keeping alive millions
of young oysters from the larva to
the set" stage. In his report he
said that hatcheries modelled after
his plant can be built wherein the
oysters may be incubated until time
to set them out in deep waters.
His method for developing oyster
sets" from oyster seed, or spawn,
removes one of the chief obstacles
If the commercial propagation Of
oysters, Mr.. Wells said.
THE seeds are so SMALL he ex-
planned, from the time they are
laid by the oyster until they are ma
ture enough to attach themselves to
a surface in sets. that experimenters
have had the greatest difficulty in
devising a practicable commercial
method Of keeping the tiny shellfish
supplied with fresh supply of salt
water and food without washing
them all down the drain.
when the osysters reach the set
stage, they can safely be put in the
beds to fend for themselves. After
that time the oyster grows very
rapidly for period of some weeks
and gains full maturity within three
or four years.
One Of the chief obstacles, that of
handling the larvae, or tiny eggs,
while changing their water, the re-
port says, was overcome by the use
Of centrifugal machine, which con-
centrates the eggs In small re-
ceptacle. The Matching apparatus
was made of series of large inyert-
ed glass carboys, fitted with tubes
which permitted a fresh supply OF
salt water and air to percolate SO
gradually that the development Of
the eggs was not retarded. Micro
scopic examination is necessary in
following the gradual development Of
the eggs to the set" stage.
Mr.. Wells declared 1t is we'll
known fact that In the last 10 years
the production of oysters has been
very much reduced. It was to de-
terrhine the exact cause Of this re-
duction. he said, that his studies
were undertaken. 1t has been sng-
gested, he said, that pollution OF the
waters has injured many of the
most productive beds In Connects
cut and in the vicinity of New York.

Rome, Sept. THE spirit Of un-

even to such old world and out Of
the way spots as the Island of Sar-
DINA. Among these picturesque
peasants, many of whom can not
read or write, tho they are often
people of dignified manners and
strong character, public opinion is
diffused by word OF mouth and a
strong party has arisen lately whose
motto is Sardinia alone" who think
that the island, which is the second
largest in the Mediterranean would
be more prosperous If it governed
itself and had little or nothing to do
with Italy.
In ancient days Sardinia was one
of the great granaHes Of the world,
supplying first Carthage and later
Rome with immense quantities of
grain. Now a large proportion of the
island is uncultivated and about one
fifth is covered with forests, chiefly
consisting of holm oaks and coRll

fornia Packing Corporation and the
California COOPERATIVE Canneries
are now running to full capacity, pro-
ducing 1000 cases or $4,000 cans Of
fruit daily. The continued warm
weather has ripened the peaches to
such an extent that extra tonnage has
been brought to the canning plants.
Farmers have been receiving about
100000 week from the two plants OF
the California Packing Corporation.
Orange clings have been mostly pack
