THE U. S. Department OF Labor. through the

lated reports concerning the volume OF employment
in July 1921 from representative establishments in
thirteen manufacturing industries and in biuminous
coal mining
Comparing the figures OF July. 1921 with those
for identical establishments for July 1920, appears
that in twelve OF the fourteen industries there
decreases in the number OF persons employed, while
in only two were there increases. The two increases
are 1853 per cent in wooden and o. per cent in
cigars The great increase reported for the wooden
industry for July 1921. July. 1920. is due to the
recovery from short-tme operations of all mills last
year. The largest decrease reported. 464 per cent,
appears in iron and steel Automobiles. paper and
building and repairing show respective decreases
of 900 per cent, 3s3 per cent and 32.3 per cent,
Thirteen Of the fourteen industries show de-
in the total amount of the payroll for July,
1921, compared with July 1920. The increase
reported. 76.8 per cent, appears in the wooden in
duStry. The most important percentage decrease is
ia per cent which appears in iron and steel Paper
making shows decrease Of 464 per cent, and auto
mobiles show decrease of 81 per cent.
In comparing July, 1921. and June, 1921, four in
dustres show increase in the amount of money
paid to employees and ten show decrease. The most
important increase is 1873 per cent which appears in
mems ready-made clothing. Iron and steel show a de-
crease of 244 per and building and repairing
decrease of I4o per cent.
Most Of the plants reported reductions in the
wage scale varying from 20 per cent to per cent.
and affecting various numbers of the workers. In
the coal industry the dull market conditions resulted
in less time being spent in work. with corresponding
auctions in earnings

Easter Lilies from Seed.

IN growing Easter lilies from seeds the time of plant

stocks and possibly upon when his seed becomes available

bulbs Sowing they say can be done at any season if

tanned In Northern climates, if seed is planted of
DOORS it should be in the late autumn for spring

For the past six years specialists of the United States
Department Of Agriculture have conducted experiments

which are imported principally from Japan The les

those interested in the work through the publication Of
Department Bulletin Co., entitled The Production of the
Easter Lily in Northern Climates
Until the trade produces seed Of the lily and offers it
for sale it is pointed out, it will be necessary for the
grower to raise his seed. The best way TO do this
now is to procure imported bulbs either in the early winter

RESEARCH FUND URGED.

Sufficient funds for scientific re-
search work by government bureaus
is sought in a resolution adopted by
the directors of the National Gamers
Association at "A meeting in Chicago
last Friday.
The resolution asserted that Euro
pean nations. aligned as our compet-
itors in the worlds trade. are already
making much more generous invest
mentS in scientific research. Copies of
the resolutions were placed in the
hands of the Secretary of Agricul-
ture and the director of the budget.
The association praised the Depart
ment of Agriculture for having DEM
onstrated to the nation the immense
economic value of its work and
added:
Appropriations for such work are
investments which return many times
their cost in safeguarding the future
food supply and in promoting the well
fare of all classes of people.
The lesson of the whole war eXpe-
rience has been to impress upon the
business world, as it has never been
impressed before. the practical value
of scientific research. Other nations
have learned this lesson apparently
