Diamonds WIN Remain Dear.

The major portion of the present re-
tail price of a diamond consists Of
government taxes, Frank B. Wade
writes in Leslie's. Many years ago
South African statesmen decreed that
any diamond mines which should be
discovered thereafter should pay to
the government 60 per cent of their
net profits in each year. The great
Cullinon diamond of over 5000 carats,
which was presented to the British
crown by the Transvaal government
afteri the Boer war, in recognition of
the speedy granting of constitution
to the conquered state. and which was
valued at $1,O00,OOO,. cost the South
African state much under that amount
in actual cash, for several hundred
thousand dollars was due the state
as a tax under the above act.

Lamon, senior poultryman of the bu-
reau of animal industry, and at the
suggestion of the chief of that bu-
reau Secretary Wallace named the
breed Lamona, for the originator.
The new fowl possesses character
istics of great merit. 1t has sufficient
size to fit the demands of the great
number Of consumers who want bird
weighing four to six pounds. The
body is long and of good depth, Civ
ing large amount Of the highly de-
sirable breast meat, and at the same
time large capacity for the reproduc-
tive organs.
The Lamona fowl is larger than the
J4eghorn, approaching in size fowls of
the American class. 1t is white, which
is most desirable from the market mems
viewpoint. 1t has a comb and wat
ties Of medium size which are not cas-
lily frosted, thereby checking develop
ment of egg production. 1t is we'll

sudden changes In temperature.
The project resulting in the creation
of the new Lamona was started in
1912, when the idea was conceived of
combining three varieties of fowls to
produce breed having the shape and
the market qualities of the Dorking,
with a yellow skin, white plumage,
and four toes, and laying White egg.
A low-stationed, clOse-feathered White
Plymouth Rock male was mated to
Silver-Gray Dorking female; and a
Single Comb White Leghorn male, hav-
ing a rather small, low comb, was
mated to a Silver-Gray Dorking fe-
male.

these, crosses were mated separately.

only the high producers Of the largest
and whitest eggs were used for breed

females have been used at any time.
The third year the results of the
crosses of the second year were mated,
and in, addition, care was taken to

skins having only four toes. Since
then it has been a task of careful Sc

cigars. while she watched him, and as
she then went TO bed perhaps his great

didn't say anything. She only smiled

Next morning the box Of cigars was
on the piano again, Mr.. Bowser, or

didn't even hold up her hands. Fol-

CO. OPERATIVE GRAIN
MARKETING METHODS
Type of Elevator Should Fit Lo-
cal Conditions.
Excellent System for One Section Will
Not Always Work Out Successfully
in Another - Comparative
Study of Plans.

| prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
In cooperative grain marketing it Is
more essential that the system be
suited to conditions and practical need
than it is that the system itself has
been successfully applied in other
fields. This has been brought out in
an investigation conducted by special
lists of the bureau of markets, United
States Department of Agriculture, a
report of which has just been pub
lished in department bulletin 937, Co
operative Grain Marketing" One cam
not carry his investigations of coop
erative grain marketing far, says the
bulletin, without realizing that what
may be an excellent method for one
section and for particular condition
will not always work out successfully
in other sections or when applied to
other conditions. The bulletin makes
comparative study of methods in the
United States and Canada.
In the United States the most COM
mon type of farmers grain elevators
is owned and controlled by body Of
stockholders in the immediate sur
rounding community. and the elevator
is operated ms separate unit indie
pendently of any similar elevator
In Canada the line-house type Of
farmers elevator prevails and is highly
successful The line-house type con-
sists of a number of elevators con-
trOlled by one central office in large
marketing center. Two such COM
panies in Canada own and operate
over 900 country elevators in the three
great wheat-grpwing provinces.
In comparing the two systems, the
bulletin states that the line-house op-
Grafton of the farmers elevators would
seem to offer the greatest advantage
in those states where crops are some
what uncertain, or where the crop year
is of short duration, and under which
conditions 1t may be necessary to close
the elevators for certain periods each
year. 1t is possible under the line
house method of operating elevators
to economic in accounting and to
standardize in construction and in the
machinery used.
Favoring single-unit elevators is a
degree of community pride which usu-
ally centers around these organiZa-
tions quite independent of the serv-
ices rendered. In many sections there
is prejudice against centralized au-
thority which is not easily overcome.
Elevators in the Middle West section
of the United States were ~established
primarily to solve marketing. prob
