GRADING ADDS TO
 FARMERS PROFITS

When a farmer orders box of bolts of a certain make and size he does not expect to find thin layer of the bolts specified on the top of the box and as- sorted bolts undereath. In the world of commerce a manufacturer who pur- sued such practices would soon be bankrupt.
 The same principle applies to the sale of farm products, say specialists of the bureau of markets, United States department of agriculture. Be- fore sending produce to market the farmer should sort it as to quality and size. The bureau of markets from time to time has recommended grade specifications for various products, and, wherever these recommendations have been followed, satisfaction and increased monetary returns have gen. erally resulted. For instance, it is es- timated that in 1919 the potato grow CTS in Virginia increased their profit half million dollars by grading their produce. Similar results are being ob- tained in other states.

FARMERS TO OWN
 PROJECT IN l7 YEARS

The Roosevelt dam and all other parts of the system which is included in the Salt River irrigation project will not become the property of the Salt River Valley Water Users asso- citation until December l, 1887, when the last installment of the money loaned by the United States govern ment for the construction of the pro- ject is repaid. The cost of the pro- ject was more than $10,000,000. This sum is being repaid to the government in constantly increasing installments stretching over period of twenty years, beginning December l, 1917, when the project was officially declar- ed to be completed. The water users are not required to pay cent of in terest on the huge loan. These dec larations were made by F. C. Hen shaw, secretary of the association.
 With the exception of the first in stallment paid while the government was still using the power system of the propect for further development work, the revenue derived from the system has been sufficient to pay all the money due the government to date. It is hoped that the power sys- tenn will be so developed and increased as to pay for the future installments of the loan, which will be much larger than the installments of $203,00 now being paid yearly.
 There is plenty of water in the res eIvoir now and it is expected that the power revenue this year will amount to S400,000. Whenever the install ments cannot be fully met by the rev. enues of the project the farmers must pay the balance. Even, however, if the farmers had to make up the entire amount themselves, the levy per acre would be far under that which farm CTS in other irrigation districts are paying. Other irrigation districts are paying interest on their loans, which is not the case in the Salt River valley.
 A little more than $60O,000 has al ready been paid by the Salt River Val ley Water Users association on the SlO,OOO,000 loan. After paying the last installment of $203,000 the asso- citation must begin to pay installments of S406,000, which will be kept up fol two years. After this fourteen install ments of about $609,000 will be paid yearly until the entire loan is repaid.

THE WOOL MARKET

The better feeling noted last week at Boston continues, though sales are still small and inquiries mostly the testing of values. The only excep- tion to the prevailing dullness is that both fine and medium noils have changed hands freely. Very low prices have been made for them, and this has attracted both spectators and manufacturers. Knitters have been particularly interested in noils, and it is said that recent buying has been largely for that trade. No wool is be- ing bought in the country, either in the fleece wool states or the terriotry wool sections. Consignments are be- ing freely made of territory wools, but no advances are reported to have been made at over 25 cents pound. In the fleece wool states the growers are reported to be very much dissat- isfied at the prices offered, and will not trade. The fleece wool pools are being held up by the lack of buyers, and it looks as though sales would be very slow. London closed steady on the best combing wools, with less de- sirable wools per cent lower than at the last series and average and infer for wools withdrawn. Only about 40 per cent of the offerings were sold. About 55,00O bales of the Australian wools held in Boston for account of the British government have been sold since the prices were reduced June 29, leaving about 11,000 bales unsold.- Bradstreet Report.

SHOWS LABOR THAT
 VARIOUS CROPS REQUIRE

The approximate amount of labor required to raise some of .he more important crops has been determined by recent farm studies conducted by the office of farm management, United States department of agriculture. The results show that it requires the work of one man and one horse for a To- hour day to cut, cure and harvest an acre of hay. Oats, wheat, barley, rye, buckwheat, and millet consume more labor; under normal conditions these grains require the labor of a man for ? days and for the horse days. Corn for the silo in the central states con sumes 8 days of man labor and 5.5 Of horse work. Tobacco in Kentucky uses 35 days of man labor against $ days for the farm horse, but onions, as determined through studies in Ohio sold in bunches-top the list of veg etables in the amount of man labor they require. Onions use 149 days of man work, but only 10 days of horse work. Beets and carrots, also sold in punches, come next, with S2 man-days to each acre and 8 days horse larbor
 It is interesting to note that horse. in the eastern states, requires IF ten hour days per year from his master to care for him, and he contributes cnly three quarters of one day to his own p-keep-hauling feed, etc. Dairy cows need IS days from the man and 2 from his horse each year.
 These figures are given in Farmers Bulletin 1139, to aid the farmer in an analysis of his business. They will be useful in assisting the farm oper- ator to estimate his labor needs for the next season.

PRESIDENT WILSON RETIRES
 FROM SHEEP BUSINESS

WASHINGTON.-President Wilson is to retire from the sheep business. The White House flock of 48 prize sheep, which has kept the lawns cut for three summers, is to be sold.
 The yield of wool has gone to char ity, this year to the Salvation Army. In 1918, the flock produced 9S pounds which was sold by the Red Cross, bringing more than $52,000.
 The original flock of IS head was obtained from William Woodward, of New York, who has a farm near Bo- vie, Md, where it was said that George Washington once obtained a herd of deer for the grounds at Mt. Vernon.

COTTON CROP WEEKS LATE

Although the local staple cotton crop is three or four weeks late, off, ficials of the Arizona American-Egyp- tian Cotton Growers association, said today that plants were fruiting rapid ly and heavily. The movement of the regular crop, not volunteer, would be under way by September 15, it was es- timated, with probable total yield of 72,00O bales. Last years crop was about 3O,000 bales less than the fore cast for this year. On an average price of $1 pound throughout the season, the value of the 1920 crop as forecast would be $36,000,00

BISHOP BEATTY VISITS
ST. MATTHEW'S CHURCH

Bishop Troy Beatty, of Tennessee,
paid visit to the congregation of
st. Matthews Episcopal church Sun
day, November 81, and delivered an
eloquent sermon at the morning SER
vice For his text he chose that por-
ton Of the Scripture from st. John
VI-5 "The Feeding Of the Multitude. =
Bishop Beatty first pointed out
jesus compassion to the multitude
by supplying their physical needs,
and from a spiritual viewpoint he
likened the barley loayes and fishes
to our opportunities and likewise re-
sponsibilities, for with each opp0r-
tunitv we have a responsibility. "God
supplies our needs and what 'loaves'
do we have to offer for His infinite
care and goodness?"
Bishop Beatty's visits to 0ovington
and Upton county are source of
great pleasure to his many friends
and admirers here, as he was at one
time rector of Trinity church, Mason.
and st. Matthews church, Covington,
and was greatly beloved then as we'll
as at the present time, and by his
wonderful magnetism and personal
charm has endeared himself to his
church people in the entire diocese
