Gathering Pin. Cone Seeds.

The Indians of this section are
again responding to the call for
harvest hands in the North Woods,
issued by the rangers of the forestry
department, for the collection of
tree seed in the forest reserves of
the Northern part of the state, W.
T. Cox, state forester, announced to-
day.
The harvest of the cones from
spruce, white Norway and Jack Pine
commences about the last week IN
August and continues through the
early part of September, Mr.. Cox
said. 1t is expected that about 100
bushels of cones will be collected,
for which the Indians are paid from
SO cents to $3.50 the bushel, accord
ing to the crop and kind of cone.
A bushel of cones returns from one
half pound to one pound of seed,
while the seed runs from 10000 to
100000 to the pound, the forester
said.
Before beginning the actual work
of collecting the seed of any species,
information regarding the seed crop
in various portions of the trees
range is obtained. Cones of most
of the pines take two years to
mature, and few require three
years so that a crop can often be
predicted in advance.
There are three methods of col
lecting cones-from felled trees,
from standing trees, and from squir-
rel boards or caches. Where log
ging operations are going on it is
often possible to pick the cones from
felled trees and from the ground
after the brush is cleared away.
In collecting from standing timber
it is often necessary to climb to the
highest point to reach the best cones,
and entails considerable labor on
the part of the harvesters.
The small red squirrel is the
greatest collector of these cones in
the North Woods, although chip
hunks and mice lay by store for
"rainy day.. These rodents do
not put seed up for the winter only
but continue to collect as long as
the supply lasts and the weather
permits, with the result that fire.
quently quantities are stored up out
of proportion to their need. 1t IS
not uncommon to find from s to II
bushels cached by some industrious
little red squirrel, Mr. Cox said.
The caches are located by old rot
ten logs, in spring places and muck,
and sometimes in duff, and often
Z. times are buried to considerable

success in the work there. She dis
cussed with keen insight. the work OF
the organization which is so dear to
her heart and gave everyone present
something to think about, with
vision of the great help they could
be to the boys and girls of this com
munity. She had message and
delivered it with great earnestness.
She pointed out the benefits to be
derived from the Scout Training and
the check they would be on any evil
influence which might arise in the
life of a girl or boy. To help the in
dividSal is to help the nation and
Miss Waddell emphasized the great
uplift of the Scout. Movement, phys1-
cal, moral and spiritual. developing
every power and inspiring to higher
and better things.

700 OYSTER SHUCKERS
QUIT AFTER WAGE CUT
They Strike At Crisfield When The
Rate Is Put Down To % Cents A
Gallon From So Cents.

Crisfeld, Md, Feb. 15.--Wages in
the oyster industry began to assume
a prewar basis yesterday. when about
rs packers put into effect reduc-
ton in prices paid to shuckers OF
oysters. The shuckers were .notlhed
that they would be paid rs cents in
stead of So cents a gallon for the
opening of oyster stock. When told
of the reduction 700 shuckers walk
ed out, refusing to shuck at the re-
duced wages. When it became
known that the cut was general
some returned to their benches, but
most of them are still walking the
streets, insisting upon the usual 50
cents a gallon.
Before the war shuckers for many
wears received 20 cents gallon.
The pay was later increased TO 70
cents and then to 35 cents. which
price was maintained by the packers
throughout the war period. With
noticeable declined in price of food
products and the fall in the oyster
market, both in demand and price,
the packers say their overhead eX-
uenses must be lowered if they are
to continue business. The shuckers
however. say the cost of living has
not been reduced sufficiently to war
rant their working at the new rate.
The oyster season is drawing TO
an end. 1t is thought that the
change will not make any material
difference in the market price OF
oysters.

EASTON FLOUR MILLS
BURNED this MORNING
Flour Mills OF The Easton Milling
Company Practically Destroyed By
Fire Early This Morning.

Easton, Nd. February. 10th
Fire Quilted the flour mill of The Eas-
ton Milling Company this morning.
The fire was discovered by a night
policeman shortly after two o'clock,
who hurried to the fire house and
sounded the alarm. Within a few
minutes the new engine was on the
scene throwing about 500 gallons OF
water a minute but as the fire con-
tinued to gain in volume the old en-
CINE was brought out and poured an
additional volume of water on the
burning plant.
The fire is supposed to have started
on the top floor near the separators
and from there it worked it's way
front and back until the whole top
of the building was a mass of flames.
The spectacular work of the members
of the Fire Company caused many
of the spectators to fear for their
safety, many of them entering the
burning building with lines of hose
and playing streams Of water upon
the flames while falling timbers
lodged all around them; the men,
however, held their ground until the
fire was under control. The adjoin-
ing property was all saved despite
the imf1lammable material.
State Senator George l.. Bartlett,
president of the Company who was
on the ground early, stated that he
could not account for the origin Of
the fire as the mill had recently been
cleaned throughout but thought it
possible that rats or mice may have
caused it. He estimated the loss at
between $4,000 and $4,000 parti-
ally covered by insurance. -

Cooperative Buying

1t is probable that we can make
up our mind to continue low prices
for farm productions and other COM
modities. The war is over, and war
prices must go. The producer OF
food as well as the manufacturer OF
all articles of commerce is confront
ed with the problem of reducing
costs to levels, corresponding to COM
modify prices. The farmer cannot
expect to receive war prices for his
products in the future, but be can
expect and shall insist upon lower
prices for the things be buys. With
this aim in view, the Dorchester
Farmers Association has organized
a Purchasing Bureau, for the bene-
fit of its members. After a careful
study of the fertilizer and seed mar
ket it was found that these articles
could be bought at greatly reduced
prices under the following condi-
lions.
First-Tf the farmers of the coun-
ty get together and buy in large
quantities.
Second-If the farmers would buy
for cash.
The County Purchasing Bureau is
based on these two principles.An or
ders for supplies are taken on the
cash in advance bases or with pay
ment guaranteed by bank. The
orders are assembled by the County
Pur chasing Agent who then gets in
touch with the fertilizer producers
and places the order with whoever
gives the best price and the best
the county is Mr.. John E. Patten OF
East New Market. He is assisted by
local agents in every organization,
among these local agents are Mr..
Arthur Austin of Cambridge; Mr.. W.
1. Donoho, Vienna; Mr.. Wooden, Hur
lock; Mr.. H. G. Watkins at Buck
town
Every organization member should
take advantage of this splendid op-
portunity for greater profits. Get
in touch with your local agent. and
give him your fertilizer order for
this spring.
One interesting thing about the
fertilizer market is the fact that in
gradients are cheaper than mixed
goods. The mixers bought their
raw materials last fall at high prices
and are trying very hard to get their
money out of them by selling at
similar prices, to the farmers. In
the meantime, the price of ingred-
tents has dropped very much in such
materials as tankage. nitrate of
soda, and potash, can be bought at
wholesale, very cheaply. All farm
ers should plan to mix their own
fertilizer this year, even If they
never did it before. Your local
agent knows how to mix fertilizer,
and is competent to advise you what
to buy. and how to mix.
Another interesting thing about
fertilizer, is the fact that the prices
of ingredients seems to be deter
mined by competition more than the
price of mixed goods. Every farmer
knows that the price Of mixed goods
is much the same, no matter who
you are buying from, but the Pur-
chasing Bureau in buying ingredients
on the wholesale market, is able to
get around this stabilized price and
to buy things at a great reduction.
Your local agent will ask you to pay
certain amount when you order.
This does not mean that the fertiliz-
er will cost this much, because 1t
will no doubt be bought at a lower
figure and you will receive a divi-
dend based on this saving.
