Chicago Aug. .24.-Forecast for

market became weak, the March
delivery going under yesterdays low

Wheat later showed considerable
strength. December going to good

GROUND is BROKEN FOR
UNDERGROUND TUNNEL.

The Hudson River exists no longer
as far as motor trucks are concerned
as ground has already been broken
for the four-driyeway bore under the
Hudson which will be the largest
subaqueous structure in the world.
This project, which is being paid for
entirely by the states of New York
and New Jersey, will cost $4,000, 900
before it is completed, but the tremen-
dous sayings it will effect are expect
ed to make 1t pay for itself within
twenty years.
Thus another dream becomes q
reality and shows the dynamic energy
OF America. The tunnel, with all the
facilities of city thoroughfare, will
link closely the greatest steamship
terminals in America, along the New
York side of the Hudson, with the i'm
mense railroad concentration centers
in Jersey City. 1t is expected to quick
en- greatly the movement of incoming
and outgoing freight via motor truck
and to reduce food costs for New
York's seven-million-odd.
The structure will be completed by
1924, and it is expected that 100000
passages of motor trucks and horse
drawn vehicles will be made through
the tube in its first year, and that they
will gradually increase.
Ventilation to rid the tunnel of car
bon monoxide gases from automobile
exhausts will be furnished by -four
large shafts and also by an air duct
under the roadway and an exhaust
above.
This great undertaking is primarily
dut to the motor truck, which speedet
up transportation and caused people
to see the appalling waste Of time ant
money encountered waiting in line fol
place on the ferries.

care, and the like, will be ably dis
cussed and after each lecture the
farmers will be given an opportunity
to Sc exactly what the lecturer has
been discussing by having s or ten
makes of tractors at this school for
demonstration purposes. 1t is a well
known fact that most tractor troubles
are cause by ignorance on the part of
the operator and it will be the purpose
of this school to so familiarize the
farmers with their tractors that it will
help them eliminate many of these
troubles, which cause loss of time and
very often heavy repair bills.
The Home Economics section will
have a regular program throughout
the four days for the ladies. This
meeting will be held in the Little
Theater, the same as last year, and all
phases of homemaking will be ably
discussed with suitable demonstra-
tions as TO means of saving time and
labor.
Work will be given farmers week
nthe following subjects: home eco
nomics. farm management. marketing
beef cattle, sheep, hogs, poultry, horti'
culture. plant diseases. soils, crops
an directors.

is entirely for the farmers of the state
of Kentucky, no one can afford to mis-:

MODERN ISLANDS OF TREASURE

Situated in the Pacific Ocean, near
ly midway between America and Asia,
is Nauru, barren bit of rock only
twelve miles in circumference
Thirty or forty years ago almost
anybody could have had 1t for the
asking. Today it is worth untold mil
lions. owing to the belated discovery
that the whole island is neither more
nor less than a mass of phosphate
rock, the most wonderful soil fertiliz-
er known to agriculture.
In Conception Bay, Newfoundland
is Bell Island, sold by its original
owners many years ago for 500. Soon
afterwards 1t changed hands again
for 100000.
This enormous rise In value was
due to the accidental discovery that
the island is composed almost entirely
Of iron ore.
For years previously shipmasters
had been in the habit Of talking the

in all probability. be necessary to
have a curtain window on one side OF
the house which can be left open for
most of the winter, except during the
very coolest days.
In order to get winter eggs 1t is, OF
course, necessary to have in this
house good fowls that are capable and
in condition to lay eggs. The early
Matched pullets are always better
than the late Matched, so the farmer
should select his young pullets from
the earliest Matched chicks. The Col
lege of Agriculture has recommended
that the farmer Gull their poultry
flock during August and September
and if they have done this they will
have eliminated. to large extent, the
non-productive hens, so that coming
into the winter the farmer will have
on hands early Matched pullets and a
flock of older hens that have been
thoroughly culled out and they should
be in good condition to lay winter
eggs.
Then, in connection with the hous-
ing and the flock, comes the important
question of feeding. 1t is well
known fact that chickens must be fed
certain kinds of feed in order to pro-
duce eggs. Buttermilk, tankage or
commercial meat scraps are necessary
as protein feeds. Then, the birds
should have a grain mixture and per.
haps a dry mash However, If a grain
mixture and one of the protein sup
plying foods are fed at regular inter
vale to the healthy flock in a goot
poultry house, the farmer should ex'
pect to receive eggs during the win
ter when they are very high priced.
