cided to do something to start business,
IL it can be done.
First, we propose Immediately to sell
the cloth on hand at greatly reduced
prices. This will be done at a substan-
tial loss to the company, but we must
meet it. 1t will be the company's loss
alone. 1t will in no way affect your
wages. Then we propose Immediately to
make the biggest effort we have ever
made to get business to run our mills.
But we are convinced our best ef-
forts will not bring business unless we
reduce the prices on our new season 3

only our profits but our costs as well.
and among others our labor costs. III we
do not do this we must close our mills

costs for next seasons goods at a rate or
wages lower than the present. We hope
with prices thus fixed and our unusually
strenuous efforts to get business to at
tract the trade so that we can sell cloth
enough to. pen up our mills and run them
on full time The next few weeks will
tell the story.
I'VE therefore announce that the rate
of wages in all our mills will be fixed

had hoped to avoid this reduction In

there has been alteration of records, and

to lay off a "land" for himself and
work independently, so there will be
no interference from other machines.
Side Delivery Rake Is Best.
Do not turn hay by hand. 1t is too
costly. The cheapest and most efficient
way of stirring hay in the windrow is
with a two-horse tedder. One man
with tedder will do more work than
- men stirring with hand forks. 1t
Is not even necessary to have a man
TO run the tedder. A boy big enough
to drive team will do just as much
work.
A one-horse rake operated by man
makes raking very costly. A two-horse
sulky rake is better. but the side-de-
livery rake is best. When curing is
done In the swath and a hay loader
is used, the crew can start taking the
hay from the windrow as soon as the
side delivery has made one double win
drow across the field. IF the sulky
rake IS used, the crew Will have to
wait until the rake has gone several
times across the field. In this matter
the extent of the haying operations has
TO be considered, of course. On very
small farms the use of the side-de-
livery rake might not be economy.
If the weather is clear and the hay
is in proper condition, there will be
no necessity for hay caps or for
further labor till the hay is hauled.
But hay caps will pay for themselves
in one year when the weather is bad.
They are more especially needed with
clover, alfalfa, and pea vines, all of
which cure slowly.
If hay is to be punched. the hand
method is too expensive. A two-horse
sulky rake can bunch 80 acres or more
a day and a boy can drive 1t just as
well as man. Even more labor can
be saved. however. by using the push
rake TO bunch hay after 1t has been
raked into the wfndrow. 1t is a good
plan to have two men working together
to round up the punches, since more
can be accomplished than when each
works alone.
1t is a waste of time TO pitch hay
onto a small hayrack on a high-wheeled
wagon. Use a large hayrack on a
low-wheeled wagon.
Loading hay with pichforks Is the
hardest, slowest. and most expensive
way. The men are working constantly.
but the horses are doing nothing most
of the time. If loader is used. the
hardest part Of the work is done by

The hay crop, even when the labor
supply is normal, causes more worry,
anxiety, and disappointment than any
other crop. The time for harvesting is
comparatively short. Other crops re-
quire attention at the same time. And
the weather Is TO be reckoned with.
A great deal of labor is wasted every
year during hay harvest. say special
lists of the United States Department
of Agriculture, not because of actual
idleness on the part of the workers,
but because labor is expended unnec-
essarily on operations that do not
utilize If to the best advantage. If an
old method can be superseded by
new one that will enable the same
number of men TO accomplish more
work in the same length of time, or
fewer men to accomplish the same
will mean more hay saved, more
profit TO the farmer, and better con-
dition for the country
Shift Burden from Man to Horse.
Although there is a scarcity of man
labor there are still plenty Of horses
on most farms, and herein largely lies
the solution of the problem. On farms
where considerable hay is grown
methods must be adopted by which the
greater part of the heavy labor is done
by horses. This viii necessitate the
general use of certain types of labor
saving machinery, some of them not
so common in the East, which have
been thoroughly tested and proved
satisfactory in the western part of the
United States. The small hay grower,
however, need not make a very heavy
investment in new haying apparatus,
for by rearranging the working of his
crew and using a little more horse
labor for the hard work he can add
considerably to the efficiency of his
crew.
Here are some suggestions made by
the specialists for avoiding of labor

REDUCE LOSSES IN SHIPPING
More Careful Handling In Harvesting
and Packing Spinach Is Urged
by Specialists.

Losses In long-distance shipments
of spinach can be greatly reduced by
careful handling in harvesting and
packing together with effective re-
frigeration in transit, according to
specialists of the bureau of markets
of the United States Department of
Agriculture. Decay and deterioration
in transit caused by the development
of Shiny soft rot cause serious losses
to shippers in some sections
''This decay develops rapidly in
transit when temperature conditions
are favorable" say investigators Of
the bureau. 1T starts at places where
the leaves have been bruised or
wounded, and it very frequently fol-
lows attacks of blight or other field
diseases. Other causes of deteriora-
ton in transit are yellowing and wilt
ing of the leaves. Prompt handling
and shipment at a low temperature
largely reduce losses from these
causes"
When barrels are used, Ii Is adViS-
able to scatter crushed Ice in several
layers through the container, a large
layer being placed on top of the spin
ach next to the barrel head. Holes
bored in the bottom Of the barrel pro-
vide drainage. Shipments In baskets
or crates carry best with a layer of
crushed ice In the center of the con-
tainer and another layer on top OF
the spinach just under the cover.
