Dispatches to The Associated Press

Zaglouls expulsion was caused by

The war disorganized, demoralized, confused.
1t distorted industrial and commercial relations and
in some cases permitted and in others forced prices
to levels utterly unrelated to any permanent pro-
gress of the nations activities. Prices advanced
without rhyme or reason, and they tumbled indis-
criminately.
The time has come when the individual who
has anything to sell, whether in the nature of service
or commodities, he must forget what it cost. He
must do business on the basis Of the price at which
he can replace his product. If he has carried a
stock over from boom times he will suffer loss. That
is unfortunate for him, but not more unfortunate
for him than other losses are unfortunate for all
those around him. In many lines of business the
losses have been written off and a new start has
been made on the basis of actual replacement costs.
There are some who lag, and this tagging must i'm
pede the return to normal conditions. The sooner
the whole country makes up its mind to write off its
losses and start afresh the better it will be for every
industry.

the decision of any official body which is contrary
to the wishes of a great oil company is quite apt to
be a popular decision, no matter what its nature.
sponsible for a good many remarkable findings, has
just made a ruling involving the use Of gasoline
pumps. It appears that these pumps, with which
we are all familiar, are supplied, at least in many
cases, by one or other of the oil companies, and a
nominal rental is charged for their use. A condi-
ton is made, however, that only the gasoline sold
by the company furnishing the pump may be dis
tributed by means Of that pump. Inasmuch as a
local dealer can always get another pump from an
other company if he wants one, it does not appear
that he is greatly oppressed by this rule. Neverthe
less, the commission has ruled that this practice is
unfair competition, and the supreme court will be
called\on to say whether it is or not.

A LONG GROWING SEASON.

h summer of 1921 has been an unusually long
growing season, and certain of its conditions in this
territory have made it unique. There was added to
the unusual length Of the period between frosts un.
usual heat in the early part of the summer, apd this,
while unfavorable for certain kinds of vegetation,
was decidedly favorable for others. Grain crops
generally suffered from the long-continucd heat, and
as the principal revenues of the state are derived
from its grain crops, this was unfortunate. One ex-
ception is to be noted in the case of corn. The corn
plant loves heat-hot days and hot nights. In this
district it was given more hot days and more hot
nights than usual, and the result is a remarkable
crop of matured field corn.
The more tender garden plants found the sum-
mer just to their liking. Sweet corn came into
bearing perhaps two weeks earlier than usual, but
this advantage was Offset by the fact that its bear
usually regarded as a melon section, North Dakota
has come to the front this year in a remarkable
manner as a producer of watermelons and musk
melons. immense quantities Of both being ripencd,
and the quality being as a rule far superior to that
Of the imported sorts. Those who like tonlast.es-
and most people do-have reveled in that excellent
fruit.A lew ripe tomatoes were produced about
July 4, full month earlier than usual, and ten days
lster the production Of ripe fruit was general. Since
then there has been Z continual outpouring Of ripe
tomatoes, and the production has continued, with
ont = frost, until into October.
For the general cereal crops a little heat in mid
summer - desirable, and the conditions Of this wear
~ not likely to be repeated soon. As a very salts
factory substitute for this extra heat the grower of
sthestender ANIMALS can make it a point to get an
start, which is always possible through the use

COAL AND FERTILIZER.

Usually we do not think of fuel and fertilizer in
connection with each other. 1t is true that we often
speak of the waste of fertilizer in the straw fires in
the prairie states just after the threshing season.
But while these straw fires develop great heat, we
have not yet learned to look upon straw as fuel.
Some interesting figures, however, on the ferti-
are given by Henry B. Rust, of Pittsburgh in a sen
ate committee hearing on the chemical schedule of
the tariff bill. Mr.. Rust says that fertilizers with a
crop producing value of more than SOC, 1000, 600 bush
els of wheat are annually being wasted as a result
of the practice of burning raw bituminous coal in
stead Of coking it. -
Basng his figures on an neutrality-suspicious. Of
585.Ss3,00O tons, Mr.. Rust estimates that the an.
nual loss of ammonium ~sulphate, due to present
methods, is $500, 626 tons worth at current prices
$354,037,560, or enough to ferdlze 100000 acres
of land Agricultural experts estimate that an acre
Of land fertilized with 100 pounds Of ammonium sui.
ptate will show an average increased yield of seven
bushels an acre.
It is estimated that a four foot seam of coal
contains enough ammonium sulphate to ~fertilize the
land above it for 500 years, and by burning the coal
raw all this material is wasted. Most of it could be
saved, together with many other valuable elements,
by coking the coal. These facts, with many others,
point to the time when coal will not be shipped in
Its raw state from the mine, but will be treated there
for the seyeration of many valuable elements which
are now wasted, and possibly the consumption of
the carbon content itself for the purpose of general.

try.

DECIDE ON THE MERITS.

There is to be a meeting of grain dealers in
chicago this week. At the meeting attention will be
given to all manner of SUBJECTS bearing on the mar
keting of grain, and there will be special interest in
the discussions of the various plans for cooperative
marketing which have been proposed Of late, and
some OF which are under way. 1t is practically GER
tain that the discussions will be marked by some
of the asperity which has characterized the treat
ment of this subject for some time past, because the
comment which has already appeared is decidedly
peppery in spots.
The two extreme views which are quite often
expressed may be stated about as follows: The en-.
tire business of handling the grain of the country
after It leaves the farmers hands is conducted under
which is to ROD the farmer at one end of the li,,c and
the consumer at the other by the needless multipli-
cation Of costs and the piling up of speculative
Profits for the enrichment of individuals who con-
tribute nothing and perform no real service for the
benefit of the public. That is one view. The op-
posing view is that the grain trade is a sacred thing
which must not be meddled with, and that in at
tempting to create their own marketing agencies
farmers are sacrificing business agencies of proven
value for impracticable and mischevious schemes
which can never be OF value except to their pronaot-
ers. F..
The raising, handling and marketing Of grain
and its products are industrial and commercial op-
.%erations over none of whose methods the mantle of
.sanctity can be thrown. There arc no right and
wrong methods, save as methods of one sort work

has a right to raise his crops in the way that suits
him best, and to market them when, where and how
he pleases. Equally an individual has a right to en-
gage on the buying and selling Of grain, BY himself
or in association with others. There are no laws,
statutory or moral, which prohibit the individual
from engaging in any Of these enterprises, or in all
Of them. The purpose Of any Of these activities is
the same, the making of a living, and as much more
than a living as the circumstance Will permit.
It is aside for the farmer to declaim against the
opaSrS trade &c a. Z q koe The rrrAs 1AaI~-
the farmer. They are following occupations equally
honorable and equally susceptible Of abuse. The
methods pursued by either will persist only as they
shall be proved ultimately to have value. The test
Of experience must be applied to both.
Those who are engaged in the promotion of CO.
marketing plans will do more toward their
own success by putting forth every energy to de-
'yelop their plans along sound business lines than BY
continually charging other persons and organiza-
with fraud. And if TIE marketing Of grain
through professional dealers is TO be retained, that
