Trainlng Camps.

Personally we regret the action
taken by the West Virginia State
High School association 10 the eff
feet that there will be no high
school training camps permitted
next season. The argument chat
Fone OF the smaller schools can not
finance. camps is a weak one-at
4esst it should not work against
those who will finance such camps
Where there's a will there's a way,
9and IL the smaller schools really
wanted camps It is likely that the
ttnoney could he secured through
public subscription or otherwise. A
week or two OF intensive training
Seduces the possibility OF serious in
Inry during the playing season and
also makes fol. better football. The
whole affair strikes us as a Sour
crane proposition that should nos
be tolerated. Any school desiring
TO give It's men the benefits Of a
training camp early in the football
season should not be denied the
light on any flimsy grounds such az
seems to have been the case IN thiS
Instance.

STEADY DEMAND
FOR ALF Al F A
BOOSTS MARKET
Present Situation Is ABNORMAL
dnG Continued Better COndi.
ti0ns is Prediction Gf AssO-
citation.

The steady improvement in the de-
mand for alfalfa hay continued thru
out the past week; the market further
gained in strength and dealers and
users were willing buyers at an addi-
tional advance in prices.
1t is & healthy market; the princi-
pal fa.fors of the growing momentum
of demand being the result of unus-
|ually light supplies in the hands of
users and dealers for this time Of the
year, Of free consumption, of produc-
tion below the earlier estimates of the
trade, and of the realization on tho
part of buyers that prices are abnorm
ally low, ruinously low for the grower
that this low level is not justified hy
present conditions and that the market
is bound to adjust itself to these condi-
tions.
Eugene Meyer, Jr., managing direc-
tor of the war finance corporation, in
answering our letter in which We cx-
pressed to him cur thanks for helping
US to obtain in bank loans the credit
which we asked Of the war finance
corporation for the purpose of making
advances to our growers, tells Us h.
is gratitied to hear that the oanl, IS
meeting our association in such Il II 4lp-
full spirit; needless to say that we toc
appreciate and are grateful for this
spirit to the fullest extent.
Mr. Meyer at the same time informs
us chat it is now possible for the war
finance corporation to make such
loans to our association and that he
will send us a copy of the respectiv
bill as passed, just as soon as i is
printed.
AT the same time Mr.. Meyer advises
however, to do this business with our
banks here if it is at all possible, be-
cause the war finance corporation is
only here temporarily as an el1er-
gcncy. He further asys: If we can
help growers associations, and other
business organizations, TO do the bust
ness with their bankers, we think t is
more advisable than to take the bust
ness organizations away from the
bankers this year, only to leave them
perhaps to go back next year"
We fully agree with Mr.. Never, the
more 50 as we realize besides that
loans Of the nature we require for our
growers could not well be handled
by the war finance corporation direct
ly, and would have to go through the
banks anyway.
1t would of course be still better if
general financial and business condi-
tions would improve so that we did
not need such credits next year.
There were $40 tons of grain and
alfalfa hay received on the Los An
geles tracks the week ending Septem-
Der 10th, with 70 tons held over.
