One Very Satisfactory Way Of Drying
Fruits and Vegetables at Home.

When the corn Is dry, store in closely
woven muslin bags. or heavy paper
bags. Tie tightly at the neck and
place within a larger bag, which also
should be tightly tied.
DO not allow the drying process to
stop from the time 1t Is started until
the corr is fairly dry. Corn is a prod
uct which contains considerable sugar
and protein, and II the drying process
Is allowed to stop bacteria are apt to
develop and souring take place. Pro-
tect 1t from insects. If sun drying Is
interrupted by cloudy weather or
showers, remove corn to the stove and
continue drying or the product may
spoil.

Prices Must Go Up

Prices Of farm products must go up,
and that can be brought about only by
the usual operations of supply and de-
mand, and is naturally a long drawn
out proposition and one for which no
S o S can be satisfactorily replied
70. The other, and the one which is
slowly and painfully coming to pass,
is that the prices of other comm odities
shall come down to the proportionate
level of prices of farm products. This
latter process will never reach COM
plete and entirely equitable basis be-
cause selfish human nature plays too
large a part in the game. But it will
be far better than now and far less
of a class proposition as was clearly
shown in the overwhelming public
sentiment on matter of the threatened
railroad strike.
The ultimate yield of the corn crop
this year will be good test Of one
phase of official forecasts made during

In Excellent Shape

Fundamentally the French potash in
dustry is in excellent shape, since the
deposits contain enough pure potash to
provide the worlds needs for the next
three hundred years, or 800 million
metric tons, according to statistics fur
nished by United States Consul Charles
D. Westcottlat Paris.
DIR. Westcbtt made a tour of inyesti
cation of the Alsatian potash fields
and is at present working on an elabo-
rate report for the Department of Com
merce. In June, 1921, about 4.0Oo tons
OF muriate of potash were being pro-
duced per month, and it was planned
to run production up to 5000 tons per
month by the fall of this year. New
drillings We're being made, and the in
dustry was generally being put into
excellent shape. Since then world-wide
industrial conditions have necessitated
diminished output
One advantage which the Germans
with their quantity production and
their cheap currency can never over
come" stated Or. Westcoot, dis the
richness Of the Alsatian potash. This
potash has the highest salt content. in
some instances running to so and 96
per cent K2O, and averaging so per
cent K2O, whereas the German potash
averages only 40 per cent. During the

ests, and they have not changed hands.
But a few days before the armistice
few Alsatians bought out the shares
fsome of the German owners at ridic-
ulous prices. They have put forth their
claim of ownership, but the Sequestra-
tor. General has questioned the legltl-
macy of the transaction. 1t therefore
boils down to the question, "What is
good Alsatian?"
The whole case, at any rate, Is now
in the hands of the Department of JUS
tice and many projects for the reor-
ganization of the mine concessions are
monopoly. Others oppose this on the
ground that state monopoly would
tend to make potash dear to the domes-
tic consumer. 1t is cited that the Ger
man Kali Syndicate has found it so
profitable, thanks to the exchange
rates, to sell potash abroad that it sets
a prohibitiwe price for domestic con-
sumers. Only recently it has secured
peremission for a further increase
from the government which augments
the domestic price by 80 to 40 per cent.
The French believe that the opposite
should be the case, that a high enough
nit sales at far lower figures to domes-
tic users.
In order successfully to meet the
strong competition offered by the Ger
mans the need Of solid commercial
organization is urged, rather than a
control which is part private, part
state sequestered. One interesting prof
ect has been advanced which provides
for the partition of the entire mine
properties in Alsace among four COR
porations, one to represent the agricul-
tural interests and the state, another
the chemical and pharmaceutical inter
ests, third the province Of Alsace, and
fourth the legitimate owners of
"kluxes" or mine stocks, the whole to
be controlled by central company,
capitalized at some 200,000,000 francs,
with the state holding 20 per cent of
the shares. The central syndicate
would buy the whole production of the
mines at prices fixed annually in
France and abroad, and the operation
of the mines would thus be in the
hands of the principal producers in the
field

Wool Advances
On Emergency
Tariff Active
Fine Tops Up Is Cents a
Pound in the Boston
Market; the Imports Re-
lieve the Situation
Special Dispatch to Tne Tribune,

BOSTON, Nov. 26.--Fine tops, the
long combed-out fibers, ready to be
spun into yarn, have advanced Is cents
a pound during the week. This is not
surprising, considering the extremely
sensitive condition of the wool market,
which has come about rather suddenly.
Wool has been decreasing in supply
and prices have been going up, with
some speculative buying, but the re-
cetn signing by President Harding of
the bill extending the life of the emer-
gency tariff indefinitely was actually a
shock to the trade, which reacted in ad-
vances. The agricultural bloc' at
Washington, clamoring for high duties,
is said to be one reason for the post
ponement of definite action on per-
manent tariff. The wool growers, ac-
cording to the impression of manufac-
turers who have been attending the
hearings at Washington, are deter
mined to have their way, and it is felt
that the producers of the finished prod
uct must bide their time before they
can expect to purchase wool at lower
prices.
Some manufacturers, however, and it
is understood the number is increasing,
are cutting the Gordian knot by i'm
porting, or ordering through wool deal
ers and importers, both tops and yarns,
which they have found then can do
more cheaply than buying the raw wool
in this country. This can be done in
snita of the duties and tha wool ,,rour
ers' purpose be defeated, at least tenn
porarily. Furthermore, if the Ameri-
can buyers of foreign raw wool with
draw from the markets abroad, on ac-
count of the embargo brought about by
the tariff conditions, the tendency will
be, it, is argued, to cause a decline in
the foreign markets, and consequently
still lower cost than at present pre-
walls abroad in the manufacture of
tops, yarns and the finished fabrics.
The opinion Is expressed that q con-
siderabls advance In the price of woods
will be seen at the auction December !

formula is as erroneous as it is COM
mon. If there is wisdom in a multi
tude of counselors, there is also fool
ishness.
Matters arc mending somewhat on
the Pacific Coast and in the extreme
northwest, as the crops are moving
to market. The Imperial Valley is
cheered by the advance IN cotton, as
are also the irrigated districts in Ari-
zona, while in the interior of California
there are heavy shipments of fruits and
nuts, not only of holdovers from last
season, but also Of this years produc-
ton. Shipments of apples from Idaho
Washington and Oregon are about 200
per cent greater than for the same
period of last year.
Tobacco production is much below
last year as the natural result of
twelve months ago. Exports are
heavy, but the domestic demand
is good only here and there. Grow
ers in North Carolina and Vir-
gnia seem to be marketing their crop
while in some other Southern states
farmers are essaying pooling and CO.
operative methods and with slower
sales so far.
There does not any longer seem to be
any doubt but that crude oil is def
nitely on the upturn, both as to prices
and production, and drilling and ''wild-
eating" have taken on new life. The
future of oil in demand is based on toe
elemental facts to have any question as
to what lies before it in the immediate
months ahead of us.

second srate industrial country or is
just ABOUT to emerge from that class.
Another criticism which Americans
offer is that the merchandising meth
DDS employed have been inefficient. The
potash syndicate evidently did not Sue
ceed in building up strong sales or
ganization. There have been too many
old men in executive positions, they
state, too much "father and son:' 1t
is possibly for such reasons that the
expenditures during the first years OF
the Alsatan potash industry were dis
proportionate to the returns. The
French were unaccustomed to produc-
tion on such large scale, but they
are gradually adapting themselves
to it.
1t will be interesting to see in what
shape the potash industry will emerge
from the strenuous shake-up which i,
is undergoing here. The question OF
personnel and that of organization arc
being Are-hashed, and the confusing
property claims are difficult to adjust
meanwhile the State will continue .te
run the mines as best it can until the
property disputes are settled.

changes within the next three months.
The revised book will be issned quar-
terly. In rating the various firms in
the book. which cover the United
States and take in principally the tex
tile, wearing apparel, furniture and
allied industry, the capital has been
measured at the present market value
of inventories, locality is taken into
consideration as affecting possible
turnover and the pay habits of the
firms has been taken into account. The
pay habits are shown in seven divi-
sions, running from discounts, to slow

moral risk also is indicated.
The book contains listings of about

note what they portend.
The farmer started something when
he reverted to the elemental principles
of barter and began reckoning the
value of things he purchased in terms
of things he produced. For immedi-
ately it became apparent that his
wages and salaries have been cut in a
drastic fashion not experienced by any
other industry, since the things he
sells constitute entirely the measure
of his purchasing power. The only
modification to this being that he
raises many essentials, mostly food,
for his own use, and does so at less
cost than other consumers, on the
whole, obtain for them.

Pending ReOrgay,izations

With these figures as a basis o.
comparison, it is worth while sum
marizing briefly the earnings and
capitalization of the more important
roads that are still DO be reorganized
The international &, Great Northern
operates about 1859 miles of railroad.
1t has outstanding, as of December 81
1919, $3,400,000 preferred stock, Si,422-
600 common, and 2S,612 900 funded
debt. As of September -, 1921, The
outstanding debt, including receiver
certificates and equipment trust notes
was $25,520,00O. This includes $1,000 -
600 OF per Gent secured notes, under
which there is deposited S13,750.00N
OF the first refunding mortgage bonds.
SO that 1t would be proper to add abou-
s2,75o,ooo to the s25,52O,ooo total.
making grand total of roughly s2S.
100000. On the basis of the old com
pany, interest charges for the year
ended December 81 were S1.776,0o0. In
the first nine months of 1921 the In
ternational & Great Northern had
deficit after rentals OF s9l4,oe0, and
even in September, 1921, had only s75,-
600 left for interest charges after
the payment of rentals
The Texas & Pacific operates about
ls947 miles of railroad. Its total funded
debt, including equipment obligations.
etc, was $50, 900 as of September
"A. 1921, and it had outstanding $Ss
764,O00 common stock. Interest ana
rentals in the calendar year 1920 called
for S2,952 900 In the first nine months
of 1921 the company earned, net after
rentals, $685. 600, and the September
net, after rentals, was S207 900.
Under present circumstances it would
appear that there is little immediate
hope of a reorganization plan for the
International & Great Northern, but
that a reorganization plan could be
worked out for the Texas & Pacific, a.
the worst no more drastic than that o.
the Missouri. Kansas & Texas.

is q similarity between the complica-

their 1894 reorganization, and that
which Seligman and Hallgarten had
