DIFFICULT TASK TO
IMPROVE OLD LAWNS
Reseeding and FertiIizing Win
Assist Materially.
Loan or Humus Forms Suitable
Medium for the termination Of
the Seeds and Development Of
the Young Grass Plants.

To improve an old lawn is frequent
ly more difficult tina" to make a new
one. 1t is usually impracticable to
attempt the improvement of turf that
is very poor. Reasonably good turf,
however, can be bettered materially
by reseeding and fertilizing. Reseed-
ing an old lawn should be done at the
same time of the year as new seeding.
South of New York it should be done
in the early autumn. If the lawn is
patchy the small areas should be
scratched with steel rake or similar
implement and dressed with a mixture
of good loan, compost, or humus and
the grass seed then sown. The loan or
humus forms suitable medium for
the termination of the seeds and the
development of the young grass plants.
If the turf is thin over large areas,
seeding can best be accomplished by
a disk seeder, which cuts into the turf
and deposits the seed. II disk seed
er is not available, some implement
should be used that will loosen the
soil but not tear the turf badly. After
seeding. a dressing of loan or compost
should be given and the area rolled
lightly.
In the northern tier of states re-
seeding should be done early in the
spring. At that time the soil is more
open than later in the season and Of
fers q better seed bed. Light rolling
after seeding in the spring is usually
beneficial.
Care should he taken when moving
Or watering newly patched areas to
avoid disturbing the young grass.

Handling Hides in Large Quantities

and probably. But even If he should
produce the best quality of hides and
skins. the small producer is at dis
advantage compared with large pro
ducerS like the packers, for example.
because the latter handle large guam
titles of hides and can sort and grade
them according to the demands of
various tanners. The extremely scat
tered sources and the comparatively
small individual production of country
hides and skins makes 1t impossible
for country producers TO sort ana
classify their product in marketable
lots.
Nevertheless. many features of the
present methods of marketing country
hides can be improved, since these
methods support expensive nonessen-

Distribution Systems.
Three principal methods of market
ing domestic hides and skins prevail
at present, as shown by studies made
nv the bureau of markets. The one in
which thr farmer, ranchman and local
butcher usually participates is need
lessly complex and costly. The hides
which any one of these individuals mas
tn sell are usually disposed of either
TO junk dealer or a local buyer.
These men. in turn, sell to travelling
,uver The latter passes on his goods
N the large hide dealer, and this deal
,r sells TO broker or tanners huyer,
from whom the collected skins are
finally disposed of to tannery. Thus
tbere Is maintained n long. circuitous
distribution system that adds needless
Iy to the final cost.
Contrast this system with the direct
methods which the packers are able TO
,mnloy. Each packer having large
ssortment of hides is able to grade
and classify his output so that he can
,,snose of 1t advantageOusly to hide

From these men the hides go direct TO

agencies and their profits are elm

Wars Of the United States.

A stray paragraph on WARS of the
United States" enumerates nineteen
wars. Ten of these were conflicts
with Indian tribes, of which the most
important were probably the Black
Hawk war and the Seminole war. If
these are called wars, an eleventh
might be added-the Modoc war of
1878. The important wars on the list
are the War of the Revolution, the
War of 1872, the Mexican war. the
Civil war, the Spanish war, the wa
with Germany. The minor conflicts
included in the list are: The war with
France, 1T9S; the war with Tripoli.

The first need in the present situa-

Colorado Southern Hanging Back

Question-What is your idea of Colorado
Southern Railroad stock? Tho common
stock sof this road seems to be making very
slow progress in view of the excellent record
made by this road in the last five years; 1t
would seem to be. all things considered. as
valuable stock Rock Island or Pere
Marquette, but these two have shot ahead
OF 1t in the market. I have held some for a
somewhat losing faith.-C. w. c.
Answer-As you have stated, Colo
RADIO Southern has been doing far bet
ter than most of the railroads Of late,
yet the reason why there has been no
speculation in the common stock is
probably because the Chicago, Burling-
ton e. Quincy owns all but about 7,000,-
900 of the common, thus leaving but a
small floating supply. On the other
hand, Rock Island and Pere Marquette
are among the speculative favorites.
We believe Colorado Southern offers
good speculative opportunities.

Chance for Improvement

Question--1 am owner Of 1900 shares
Consolidated Arizona Smelling Company.
This stock was bought ut $3.50 per share.
The stock is now selling at about 75 cents.
What do you advise, to sell or l,old7 They
formerly paid dividend. but none for 1919.
Do you think tho stock will come back when
copper is in more demand I'll. w. H.
Answer-Lower prices for copper
shares generally have in large meas
ure been brought about by the extreme
depression in the metal trade, extend
ing over the last year or so. While still
dull, there have been signs Of improve
ment in the demand for copper mani
Tested in the last few weeks. II this
tendency becomes more pronounced it
would appear that Consolidated Ari-
iona Smelling stock should do better,

Patience His Middle Name

ouestion-plsase advise me as to the pos,
sibilities of the following stocks which !
now hold and have held for quite some a,s
fercnt levels from time to time. some as low
as 81 so per share: Chicago & Great Western
common, 80 shares Denver q no Granue
preferred 80 shares; Pennsylvania kaiiroad
80 shares Seaboard Air Line. common, SO
shares Wabash common. 40 shares. ! can
sell some of these now at profit. Would you
advise doing this. would it offer greater
possibilities to hold for or l0 point rise
during the coming months? Patience Is my
middle name and am not easily frightened
This you may conclude from the fact that
have bought as often as / could afford 10 90
so each month, and have to some extent
equalized my purchase by buying on scale
downward since last August.-L. w.
Answer--Of the railroad shares you
have mentioned only one is entitled to
consideration as an investment at pres
ent. That is Pennsylvania-and even
that is somewhat speculative. The
others are purely speculative. Many
firms have issued circulars showing
what the earnings Of various roads
should be under the new legislation.
We do not place any confidence in these
figures. 1t is our opinion that while
the uncertainty Of what the legislation
will be is out Of the way, there re-
mains the uncertainty of how the roads
will fare under the new operating con-
ditions. This, we believe, places al
most all railroad stocks in the specu-
lative class. The stocks YOU mention,
excepting Pennsylvania, are still SO low
in price that perhaps there is room for
further improvement, provided specula-
tive interest in the rails is kept up.

Cannot Afford to Lose

Question-Sorne time ago I purchased IT,
ternatonal Nickel at 1917 and later some at
a. ten shares each. For year no dividend
has been paid. Would you consider it good
sense to hold on Or to SELF To sell means
considerable loss. 10 hold on may mean more
less of dividends. feel cannot afford any
loss. What to do. I don't know.-H. M.
Answer-If you purchased the Inter-
national Nickel stock for investment
purposes you did not choose the proper
security. Stocks Of this nature are
not in the investment class. Metal
companies, as rule, have shown de-
creased earnings in the last year on
account Of the depression in the trade.
When the demand for it's product i'm
proves the stock of the International
Nickel Company may do better, but
whether it does or not, we do not see
mach peace of mind for you as long as
this stock is in your possession, be-
cause it is too speculative.

For Exchanging Liberty Bonds
Tropical Oil

Question: am advised to buy Tropical
Oil as good speculative investment What
can you advise me in regard to the financial
conditions of this company ?-J. C.
Answer-While no official informa-
tion regarding the operations of Tropi-
cal Oil is available, we understand that
the company has valuable properties in
South America. The International Pc
troleum Company, Standard Oil SUBJ
sidiary, is interested in the property to
the extent that it will probably absorb
it. Some new financing is being done by
the International company, and when
this is consummated it is expected the
new deal will be announced. In view
of this fact Tropical Oil stock appears
to offer speculative possibilities.
