PRICES HIGHER WHERE CURING
 PLANTS LOCATED

The benefits and effect which the building of sweet potato curing houses has on the track price of green potatoes may be judged by the com parison of prices paid at Texarkana where there are many potato curing houses with prices paid on the same dates at Magnolia. where storage fa- cilities are inadequate, says W. H. Laney, assistant marketing agent.
 During the second week of Novem- Der green potatoes were selling for 50 cents to 54 cents bushel at Mag nolia, while at Tekarkana the price was 70 cents a bushel. Even the larger markets reflected the effect of the curing houses. The price of po- tatoes in Kansas City and St. Louis in the beginning of the digging sea- son was $1.00 bushel, but as the storage houses began to fill the price at Kansas City, St. Louis and other markets went to SIPS, $1.50 and $1.75 a bushel by December 1. The opposite would have probably oc- cured without our curing houses.

THE ELECTRIC SWEEPER RE-
 PLACES THE BROOM

The electric sweeper is one of the many electrical appliances which meets with the strong approval of the housewife The broom is old fash toned It belongs to the period of the fail and the hand scythe. It's one rec ommendation is it's simplicity. For brushing away small amount of rub bish in a hurry it is the most conven- tent means, just as the hand scythe will probably always be used occasion ally to cut away patch of weeds or reach a narrow corner in a field.
 But when broom is used to do all the sweeping in the house, particularly in carpeted rooms, it means lots of work and not very thorough results. In the first place hand sweeping is tir- ing work, and the farm wife has enough work of that kind to be inter- ested in making her labors easier wherever possible. Every woman knows that to really clean a carpet with broom is impossible and that the best she can hope to do is brush away thep surface dirt with broom and wait for cleaning time to take the carpet out of doors and get it really clean by beating it. How much dirt has been left in the carpet for all the sweeping becomes apparent enough when a choking cloud of dust arises during the beating. What really happens during the ordinary sweeping with broom is that the dirt and dust are stirred up, float about in the air and later settle down

At meeting of club girls at Wei her in Poinsett county, January 28, where Miss Vivian Hawkins, home demonstration agent, conducted les sons in sewing and cooking, the boys of the school maintained that they did not think it fair that the girls re- ceive all the attention of the home demonstration agent as they desired to know how to cook also. So Miss Hawkins agreed to give the boys les sons in camp cooking later in the spring.

again just about where they were be- fore.
 The electric vacuum sweeper changes all of this. It is built on the principle of shaking the dirt free from the carpet and then drawing it into a bag (instead of freeing it in the air) from which it can be removed later out of doors. It's matter of just moment to attach the electric sweeper to baseboard plug or light socket, and after that a very easy thing to run the sweeper over the carpet. It's easy work to do and the housewife has the satisfaction, while she's doing it, or knowing that her new sweeper is doing much better work than her old broom could ever have done.
 The sweeper, like all other electri- cal appliances, has come to the farm through the development and intro duction of electric light and power plants for the farm home. These lit- tie plants give an abundance of the best and safest light ali over the house and barns and produce ample current for the operation of all kinds of light power appliances both in the house and in the barns. There are at least hundred thousand such plants in actual and successful operation on American farms today, and the time is not far distant when we shall find electricity on the farm as common a thing as electricity in the city home.

MELONS DIFFICULT TASK
New Secretary of Treasury Can Make
 or Lose Millions for U. S.

Washington, March 6.-Millions of dollars may be subtracted or added this spring and summer to the pocket books of every American household through the policies, of Andrew w Mellon, who yesterday went on the job as President Harding's secretary of the treasury.
 The cost of living throughout the United States may be raised or low cred indirectly by Mellon.
 Genial, brsik in manner, as becomes the oldest member of the cabinet, Mel lon. banker by profession, may influ- ence the prices of rouge and short skirts, locomotives, beans, building materials, ice cream, soda water, movie admissions, overalIs and thou sand other articles of everyday use that go to make life pleasurable and possible.
 Mellon got a good start today. He got on the job early-that is for a cabinet member-10:35 a. m. Mellon's job, first of all, is tax col lector and tax dispenser. Mellon does not fix prices. But if he says to Con- lgress, Gentlemen, the government must have 5000 ,0OO, ,OO0," it is likely that Congress will see to it that the government gets it. The government this year is spending about $4,000, ,00O- GOO. Collections of an additional bil- lion by Mellon, therefore, would take more cash from the pocket of every American.
 Mellon, on the other hand, might tell Congress that but $3,OOO, 100000 is needed. That would mean more mon- ey to spend for every American. But there are score of other ways in which Mellon can control living costs through taxes. After Congress enacts new revenue law, which will occur at the coming special session, it will be up to Mellon to administer it. The secretary may make regulations which may fall easy on the business man and manufacturer. This means lower prices.
 Mellon might ask Congress to abol- ish all taxes collected at the source. This would mean elimination of the pennies that now must be paid when a soda fountain serves its confections, the abolition of the stamp tax on drugs and cosmetics, or the tax on au- tomobile sales. On the other hand, the new secretary may espouse the proposal for a general tax on all sales of all articles in the United States. Most treasury experts now believes this is the cheapest tax for the plain American in the long run.
 Such recommendations would affect the average citizen, his family and friends.
 Among the other duties of Mellon are those connected with the payment of $400,000,000 to the railroads, about $200,000,000 year to veterans of the great war and their relatives through the war risk bureau, and collections of customs duties which directly in- crease or decrease the cost of clothing, food and all luxuries.
 Farmers, the raisers of food, will l be affected in large part by the ad- of the war finance cor poration, of which Mellon is chairman.

skiNNIN0ThE FARMER
Pay 40 Cents for Hafne While Hide
Brings 45 Cents.

AUSTIN, TEHAs, Dec. 20--Several
instances which give startling COM
parisons OF the price OF raw materi.
ais and the finished product have
been related by j. ". Neil. director
OF Institutes, state department. OF
agriculture.
"The other day In Paris, Texas"
he said, "a farmer sold COW hide
for So cents and bought hame
string for 10 cents. We all know
that hame strings are not manufac-
tured, but just cut out in strips one
inch wide and 18 inches long, point
ed at one end with a knot In the
other. This cut, 1t would probably
weigh two ounces and could be sent
from Cape Cod to Kalamazoo for
four cents. This hide would proba-
bly, make 100 good hame strings,
leaving out the fanky parts. just
think, $40 worth OF hame strings in
a 35-cent hide. No wonder hides are
so cheap, since every farmer in the
state has been skinned.
Recently Commissioner Davis
purchased one ounce OF batiste, a
white fabric OF light weight and
made from long staple sea island
cotton, paying 1915 for the product.
This cotton is worth 40 cents q
pound. This means that we put ~
cents worth OF cotton into $2.75
worth of cloth. the cost to manuiac-
ture not known. But a 800 pound
bale, with "a pounds deducted for
wrapping and 10 per cent for waste,
at 10 cents, or $l71. .6O,worth OF raw
cotton is made into batiste worth
$2.75 per ounce, or $1S,876 per bale
1t will take 1l0 bales Of cotton to
buy back the quantity Of batiste
that one bale will make.
"a prominent editor, who is very
much interested In the character OF
lour work, wanted to know the val
| ue and amount OF cotton In q suit OF
underwear that costs $2.70. The
suit weighed three-iourths OF pound
At 15 cents a pound for cotton, there
was IA Ia cents worth OF cotton in
the suit"
Mr.. Neilll calculated the latter
transaction on the bale basis, and
determined that one bale OF cotton
would furnish material for 572 suits
OF such underwear, which would
cost $1,644.40 and yield profit OF
81, ,089.9S on each bale manufactured
into underwear. The figures indi-
cate that 1t would take "a bales OF
cotton to buy the underwear made
from one bale.

CALCIUM ARsEnArr TREATMENT

An idea ot the benefit gained by
application Of the calcium arsenate
treatment developed and recommend
cd b. the Unftsd States Department
OF Agriculture against the eotton-boll
weevil is found In the axperience Of
q large planter at Taliulah. La. With
the exception Of certail test plats, this
mans entire acreage was busted with
calcium arsenate, the cost being 1920
an acre. He obtained an average yield
Of i,21S pounds OF seed cotton to the
acre on the land surrounding the test
plats. while these imprisoned test
nlats averaged only 500 pounds, or
about rs per cent Of the yield on the
noisoned cotton. Thus his net profit
from poisoning on these areas on
naIes made before declining prices Of
cotton was about $40 an acre.

j. N. dAHPER flation OF prices
had hurt the farmer more than any
other class, and that on this account
the farmer is entitled to every consid.
GRAFTON within reason.
At such q time as this when the
farmer is facing the problem Of which
crops to grow, and how much he can
venture to spend in their production,
Mr.. Harper says, that he, as q farmer
himself, knows that 1t Is the most diff
ficult situation Of the kind he has ever
confronted.
This is the way this agricultural
authority figures out the. proposition
Of profitable crop production In 1921:
"Grow enough food and feed crops
to supply as far as possible the needs
Of the family, the tenants and live
stock. Then pick out the kind Of cash
crops that seem to offer the best pros
poets.
Cotton viii always be one Of the
best cash crops that Southern farm
or can grow. No cotton farmer can
afford to throw cotton aside alto
gether.
"But cotton should not be the only
cash crop. It would only be another
case OF carrying all the eggs In one
basket. It is better to go to market
with more than one crop. Among
these other crops are peanuts. legume
hays, tobacco, sweet potatoes, sugar
cane, sorghum, rice and perhaps other
crops. In addition there should be
D gradual adding, as means win allow,
Of more livestock, beginning with hogs
preferably and taking on other AMI
mails as soon as possible.
"In facing the problem Of profitable
crop production for the year 1921, two
facts must be considered. ID Crop
prices are low, (2) Crop producing
expenses have not fallen correspond
ingly.
'The farmer must remember that
when crop prices are low, 1t takes
more OF the crops to cover the pro
duction cost. This narrows the mar
gin of profits. Therefore, II farmer
does not look well to keeping up his
acre yields, there win be no margin
left above the cost Of production.
Always, the most expensive yields
are the low yields and the most re-
munerative are the high yields. II
there are losses to be sustained, as
was the case In 1920, the farmer who
grew the greatest yields per acre lost
least.
"a safe and sane policy that needs
especial emphasis for 1921, is: Guard
your profits with high acre yields
This involves good preparation Of the
seed bed, the use Of high producing
seed, liberal fertilization and thorough
cultivation. A neglect to employ any
one Of these to the proper extent may
mean that the farmer win find him
self poorer at the end OF the season
than at the beginning.
Labor is the greatest item Of cost
In producing crop yield. It must
be used to the extent Of thorough cul-
tiyation. Fertilizers are next In the
list of cost items. Since high yields
per acre are so essential In times OF
low prices Of crops, and since fertiliz-
ers increase acre yields more than any
thing else, they cannot be reduced In
1921 In fact. 1t may be that they win
have TO be depended upon more than
ever, to make acre yields that win
he profitable.
An Investment In good seed is one
0K the best that a farmer can make
at any time.
ssEn word, this Is time for farm
e9kloiency, faith and courage. These
virtues exercised, the farmer win
osnerge ErozD the postwar struggle vic'
scriouely."
