WITH THE FARM BUREAU MEM.
RERS.

During the past week the following
Farm Bureau members have purchased
limestone; Grant Brayton, W. n. Cute
W.. A. McGlade, and John Jaeger.
Some of these men are applying 1t to
new seedlings OF clever and others are
going to use it on alfalfa seedlings.
We understand that Mr.. Clute is
planning on seeding at least twenty
acres to alfalfa. Mr.. Clute appreciated
the value Of alfalfa in his feeding and
is determined to reduce 1t to the min
imum instead Of using mill feeds,
which are becoming more inferior IN
quality and higher in price. To the
farmers who wish to try alfalfa MT.
Cute suggests that the use OF lime
stone in inoculating seed will insure q
good stand, when properly seeded.
Holberts of Greeley have purchased
a quantity Of spray which they are go
ing to use on their large orchard, To-
Gated near Edgewood.
Mr.. ]. A. Faust, near Earlville Sc
cured spray material and is going to
try and get his orchard to bear some
fruit this season. Mr.. F. L. Durey
was also an office visitor in regard to
spraying trees. A number OF other
farmers have called at the office IN
the last few days and secured spray
material for their orchards. The Farm
Bureau is in a position to supply a
limited amount Of spray material as
long as the present supply lasts. Farm !.
Bureau members who are IN need OF
copper sulphate or lead arsenate N
large quantities, can secure same thru
the Farm Bureau at very reasonable
rates.
The Local Sheep Growers Assoc1a-
ton has sent one order to the Chicago
Warehouse for supplies. However,
there are large number OF sheepmen
in the county who have not made ar
rangements for their supplies and may
have difficulty in securing them. we
wish to cali attention again TO the fact
4 that transportation facilities are very
poor and the supplies should be Or
dered at once. Phone or write the
County Agents office II interested.
Tom Armstrong, who has IN the
neighborhood Of CTS sheep has placed
an order for supplies and Is going 70
market his wool through the State AS
ISOLATION. Mr.. Armstrong realizes the
necessity. Of farmers pooling together
In the marketing OF their products.
For this reason he is behind the state
Association and he believes every
farmer should back up this movement
and market their supplies direct 70

COUNTY SCHOOL PICNIC.
Owing to conflicting dates with the
opening OF the State Park, at the Dev-
IFS Backbone, the County School Grad
uation exercises and Farmers Picnic
has been postponed until June 4th.
County Superintendent Ottilie has call
ed attention to various events which
will be staged at the County Falr
Grounds on that day. The Farm WORK
will be in such shape that farmers
can feel more at leisure to spend the
day getting acquainted and enjoy the
entertainment and exercise. The Farm
Bureau has secured the services OF =.
r. Cunningham, secretary OF the state
Federation of Farm Bureaus to speak
in the afternoon. It is hoped tnat Q
large delegation Of Farm Bureau mem
beers and other farmers will be present
as this is rare opportunity to near
one of the State Leaders.
Bring a picnic dinner and enjoy
yourself. Remember the date, June
4th.
SWAT THE ROOSTER.
Through the activities Of the State
Department Of Agriculture, June 3rd
has been set aside as the day wnen
farmers should Gull out the ROSTERS
from their fiocks and market them.
The egg crop has become one OF the
major sources OF revenue on good
many farms in Delaware County, and
now, since the period OF setting IS past
the male birds should either be kept
in separate pen or marketed.
The rooster does not help In egg
production. Eggs remain fertile two
or three weeks after ROSTERS are re-
moved. Fertile eggs cause blood
rings and twelve hours OF hot July OF
August weather will spoil fertile
egg. A large part OF Iowa's $5,ooo,-
100000 egg loss in 1915 was due to Ter
tile eggs. =,
Swatting the rooster should not be
neglected as 1t is time well spent.
Since eggs are now being sold on in
spection, farmers will do well to heip
conserve the Iowa egg crop.
CLUB WORK-LAST CALL
This is to notify the farmers OF the
county and their children that all club
work entries must be in the Farm bur
eau office by June 1st, at which time
preliminary start will be made IN all
livestock entries. At that time mem
bers of the pig club must have secured
their pigs and have them weighed,
forms to be secured from the Farm
Bureau office. In the other classes
Of club work similar rulings hold, wlth
the exception that in the poultry WORK
II Is not necessary to start any prelim-
merry records, but the settings OF eggs
should be secured by that time II pos
sible.in order that birds OF some SIZE
will be on hand the First OF Septem-
der.
At present over SO boys and girls
are interested in club work. Some
twenty-five report cards have not been
returned, yet, but the total number OF
club members will be something over
one hundred. Remember that all en-
tries or APPLICATIONS for club work 20
be at the Farm Bureau office BY June

American Cotton & Grain Excnange
New Orleans Cotton
By Associated Press


 New Orleans, August 5.--Continued buying for long account, inspired by allies were to support Poland, put the ing months at their best being 56 to ITS points over the level of yesterdays close. There were many minor reces- sions from the advance. and toward the end of the day there was a fall of 30 to 40 points from the highest. but the close was steady at net gains for the day of 3S to 72 points.
 October traded up to S0.50cs at its best.
 Heavy rains in the eastern belt were a supporting influence of some con sequence for time, and more or less buying power was derived from tele- grams from points here and there in the belt, claiming deterioration or in- sect damage. Llverpoops sensational rise caused a stronger opening, and the first gains amounted to Is to 3S points. For a while the market hesi- tated and at one stage in the early trading 1t was at levels 9 points un- der to 13 points over the close of yes terday, but after receipts of reports concerning the attitude of England and France concerning Poland it firmed up rapidly.
 The arrival at Savannah of the first bale of the new Georgia crop attracted considerable attention, bullish traders pointing out that it came to market ght days later than last years first Georgia bale

NEAR MONTHS ALL ADVANCE ABOUT
 ONE CENT ABOUND
Both Lancashire and Ex- port Demand for Spot Cotton In the South
 Cause Upward Swing

New York, August 5-The reports of better demand for cotton goods |in Lancashire and of better export demand for spot cotton in the south led to more activity in the cotton flu lures here today. Near months ad- vaneed nearly a cent pound, with Oc- tober selling up to SL9Sc or % points net higher, and the market closed firm at a net advance of 3 to 90 points on all months, except September which was nominaIly 145 points higher.
 The stesdier undertone of the pre- vious day was in evidence at the open ing, first prices being II to S7 points higher on overnight covering orders. This bulge met considerable selling. and there were reactions right after the call, but the buying movement con tinued and the demand from shorts be- came more active on the declines.
 Complaints of too much rain in the Carolinas and parts of Georgia served to emphasize the possibility of crop scares before the end of August. and the disposition to cover short sales was nical position. December sold up to 30.ssc and January to goose or 6S to S9 points above last nights closing quotations, and in the case of Decem- Der cc<rracts PA points above the low level of last Monday.
 New Orleans and houses with for eign connections were particularly good buyers of October and December. and the relative firmness of the near months was accompanied by rumors that exporters had bought fully a mil e lion bales of new crop cotton for ship ment during September and October. Closing prices were 39 points off from the best underrealizing. The reports of another Polish defeat appeared to attract little attention, and depressing Japanese trade advices were offset by rumors that Japanese interests had all ready cancelled enough of their con tracts for future shipment to adjust their commitments, to prevailing trade conditions.
