RAISES CORN AND CLOVER

Guy Sickles was in from Sand
Greek Wednesday and says that the
harvesting of the fine crops in his
vicinity is practically finished. o.
his own place he has Sc acres of corn
of the white dent variety that is the
best he ever raised in this country
big corn comparatively, with ears
right up in front of your face. He
says he will cut it all with a binder
and feed it to his dairy cows and
other stock.
Mr.. Sickles has had unusual sue
cess with sweet clover for a number
of years and this year he expects to
thresh out 100 bushels of seed be-
sides having a large amount of hay.

FARM -NSPORTA

A crop of the bulk and weight thai
this seasons bounteous yields will
aggregate presents some formidable
problems in transportation. This
year there are farmers with from
two to twenty thousand bushels of
wheat from 20 to 40 miles from a
shipping point. Of course there are
plenty of instances of much greater
distances, but reference is made to
ommon and not extreme cases. Sup
pose a mar has 5000 bushels 80
miles from market and facilities for
hauling 100 bushels at a time and
can average three trips per week if
the roads and weather are the best,
but that bad roads, wet weather,
storms, other farm work, sickness,
accidents, cut down the 800 bushels
per week possibility by 80 per cent
Ia low estimate) how long will he
be getting his wheat marketed? Only
about 25 weeks. The eternity of
weary hours on the road for drivers
and teams is something that tends to
drive the boys from the farm.
Of course wheat will not always
be so large a part of the crop even
in this section where the finest mil
ling quality in the world is grown.
But if the price stays above the prof
it line, wheat will surely have a
place in the local scheme of
diversified, summerfallow farming
and getting the crop to the railroad
will be something to be reckoned with
IN more distant farms. Of course in
line more railways will be built if
he government does not go broke
ending the railroads money.
Barring something now %undreamed
# in science, the only answer is wag-
n roads, good roads and more of
hem. Graded and surfaced roads
would open up the great possibilities +.
n the way of tractor trains. No one !

SAFETY FIRST ON THE FARM

Railroading, motoring, work il
mines and manufacturing plants Of
many kinds, in fact nearly every
phase of human activities has been
hedged about by more or less com
plete measures for safety against I'M
necessary injury and loss of life and
property. Every large employing
concern from railroads and steam
ship companies down, organize, post
rules and warnings, and put forth
argumentative propaganda in con-
tinued, consistent effort to decrease
accidents.
But individuals and small concerns
in general, grow into the habit of
regarding their occupations non-haz-
ardous or do not regard them at all
from the standpoint of danger. Farm
work, for instance, is probably re
garded by the great majority both on
and off the farms, as too slow and
prosaic to be dangerous. Yet inves-
tigation and accurately kept Stats
tics would most certainly show farm
work throughout the seasons as pro
ductive of a surprising number of ac-
cidents and percentage of mortality.
AS in other occupations many of
these farm misfortunes are prevent
able.
Farm journals of every type make
the rounds each succeeding season
IF helpful advice and information
at improved methods and a
standard of products, but very
little space is given to suggesting
ways and means of making every
thing and every operation on the
as safe as possible from danger.
safety devices and a thought
md a care to guard against the dan
ser, that often turks unseen but near
1t hand, would be employed if they
lad been brought to mind and point
ID out.
No doubt safety has a place in the
comprehensive and efficient scheme

5 entitled to a larger place. Farm
york is far more hazardous than it
GEMS and the accidents that result
axe a heavy toll in life and prop
rty and loss of time.

Shutting out foreign goods by a
high tariff won't help us sell our sur
plus wheat, corn, cotton and copper.
Stiff duties on fruits, nuts, olives
and similar specialties will aid the
American producers of these things
by removing foreign competition and
raising prices, but they will also re-
duce the ability of the European pro-
ducers to buy American surplus
staples. High tariff schedules on
manufactured articles will have a
similar effect. In proportion as they
diminish the importation of foreign
manufacturers, they reduce the mar
ket for American surplus materials
abroad. Since a high tariff also in
creases the prices of manufactured
goods at home, it hits the producers
of the American raw materials COM
ing and going.
To put it plainly, under present
world conditions a high tariff is dis
tinctly class legislation. For the mo-
ment it helps the industrial centers
and the producers of aricultural spec
%ialties, but this aid is given at the
expense of the farmers and miners
who produce the staple commodities
with on exportable surplus. Offer
ing these producers tariff protection
for wheat, corn and cotton is plain
bunk. What they need is a wider
market, not a high tariff wall.
Herbert Hoover recognized these
facts clearly when he stated that tar
if, taxation relief and other issues
offered no cure for our sickness
which had its origin in the inability
of Europe to buy from us.
Watch the prices of wheat, corn,
cotton and copper. Never mind the
stock market. Keep your eyes glued
the quotations of the above four
commodities. They will tell you I'M
failingly whether your job or your
will be safe or in danger this
fall and winter. If by November
remains above $1.10 a bushel,
if corn remains above SIS cents. if
does not drop below IL cents

a pound, if copper climbs to Ia cents,
draw a deep breath of relief. You
will then know that the worst is over,
that recovery has really begun.
If these commodities drop far be-
low the prices quoted, make sure
that the hinges on the door of your
economic cyclone cellar are well oil
ed. Also appoint yourself a commit
tee of n to find ways and means of
aiding the unemployed.

STRONG FEATURES OF THE
GRAIN MARKET

The sensational losses scored in al
grain stocks during the month of July
gives the trader in futures, especial
ly in wheat, a logical reason for ex-
pecting higher prices. Add to this
that foreign countries are ready to
pick up every stray bushel of grain
we can spare, and you have one more
good reason for higher prices, says
S~ugarman's Indicator.
Perhaps the least to suffer was
corn as it received rains recently at
critical moments. The area planted
this year is estimated at 109, 000, 900
acres, and, of course, but a small
deterioration would run into millions
of bushels. We can expect, with rea-
sonable weather, a production run
ming close to three billion bushels.
The oat crop suffered severely be-
cause of the dry, hot weather. There
is considerable surplus of old oats,
but we doubt if this surplus is suf-
ficient to make up the losses sustain
ed during the very hot weather of
the past few weeks.
But the most alarming situation is
our relatively small exportable sup
ply of wheat, which is estimated at
only 200, DOC 900 bushels for the end
of the crop year. The extent of
European demand is shown that last
year we shipped something like 1885,
OOO,0 00 bushels. Shortage of other
crops across the water will natural
ly demand a bigger per capita on
sumption of wheat.

Japan and China and India must,
eventually, unite in policy. In the

INTEREST ON POSTAL
SAVINGS

The most valid criticism made of
the postal savings bank by Post
master-G General Hays, is the low rate
of interest it pays. Two per cent is
not an inviting rate at any time. In
view of the investment rates that
have prevailed lately, it is ridiculous.
In practice, too, this pitiful return
has been cut down to an average of
l 1-2 per cent, because no interest is
paid on money deposited less than
one year.
The government itself has profit
ed, as it was never intended to do,
by reinvesting deposits at 1-2 per
cent. The acknowledgement now
proposes to raise the interest rate
to per cent, and to pay interest on
deposits of less than year.
There can be sound objection to
that. Three per cent is low enough,
compared with prevalent interest
rates paid by the banks, and parti-
cularly compared with rates obtain
able on gilt-edge loans.
1t is always advisable, no doubt,
to keep the rate on postal savings
a little lower than the bank rate, in
order to avoid the appearance of I'M
fair competition with the banks. If
another of Mr.. Hays suggestions is
followed, bank opposition will be con-
ciliated by the sensible procedure of
redepositing funds in local banks, as
it was intended to be-.
The proposed changes would pro-
badly redeem this once promising
institution from the disrepute into
which it has fallen, and give new
stimulus to thrift among millions
who cannot save money except in
small amounts. Their petty savings,
once accumulated, may yet become a
power in the country's finance.
