A TIMELY SUGGESTION

There will be a better time
to invest in stock farms or ranches
than now Stock cattle are cheap just
now and this in face Of the fact that
a greater shortage of cattle exists than
at any time during the past ten years
or more. This condition cannot OBJ
tain but for a short time, and the man
that is prudent enough to acquire more
acres of land suitable for stock rails
ing during this period of stagnation
and starts in to build up a herd of
cattle will find that he Is seizing op.
portunity by the forelock in laying
a foundation at the right time for a
most Independent future. The past
two years have been years in which
1t was wise to sell either cattle or
land. The time has now arrived when
it is equally wise to buy both. The
time to sell is when most people want
to buy, and the time to buy is when
most people want to sell and cannot
find any other buyer but you. Did
you sell when prices were high? Show
that you are equally wise now and
buy while prices r low. Did you
buy when prices were high? T hen buy
more now while prices are lower. and
thus bring your average cost down,
so that your holdings will produce a
more satisfactory income on the in.
vestment; and, If you should want to
sell the next time prices go higher
you will be in a better position to
sell at a profit. Better still, trade your
high priced land for more acres of
cheap land. Be fair with the other
fellow and meet him half way. Don [
expect him to trade you the same num-
Der or fewer acres of cheaper land
for your high priced land. Get two,
three or four times the number of
acres without increasing your total
investment too much and you will
have done more to secure your future
than you can in any other way. This
applies alike to farmer, investor or
speculator. When the next rush for
land comes-and it surely will come
1t will be for land ranging in price
from $50 to $3.50 per acre with the
preference being around 500 per acre.

and ranches. Will sell or trade. Sheri-

Investigation carried on by the fed
erai government" says Mr.. Stevenson.
The total losses for the whole coun,
try are enormous, amounting to 10 pen
cent or more. In other words, one egg
u of every 10 marketed never
reaches the consumer at all but finds
a last resting place in the dump or
crematory. The greater part of this
loss comes during the summer months,
of course, but much of IL might be
avoided even then by proper handling.
IF two-thirds of the loss is to be
laid at the door of the producer, there
is certainly the weakest link of the
chain. This wrong condition might be
corrected in a large measure if local
buyers would adopt a discriminating
system whereby premiums or discounts
were set according to the quality of
the product delivered to them. There
Is no inducement for the farmer who
wishes to produce a first grade arti.
Gle when the market price is estab-
lished by the average egg.
Herewith are given som or the
conditions which make for a higher
quality of eggs: Males removed from
flock after breeding season; layers
kept in clean, wholesome ration;
plenty of clean nests, one to six hens;
eggs from stolen nests candled before
marketing or used at home; g g gath
cred regularly, twice a day, if posi-
BILE, in warm weather; soiled eggs
used at home or wiped at once with
damp cloth; use at home ali eggs
showing weak shells, checks or leaks:
place eggs in cool, moist place for
holding; keep eggs away from tainting
odors; market eggs at least once a
week, or oftener if possible. Pack and
handle eggs in such a way as to avoid
as far as possible any unnecessary
Earring, dust, etc"

FARMS FOR Ex.sERvIcE MEN

On September 9th. 222 farms will be
opened to homestead entry by soldiers
Of the World war. on the North Platte
Irrigation Project, Wyoming. and n
week later, September 18th, 81 farms
will be thrown open under the Sho-
shone Project In the same state.
About 9 1000 acres of land are includ.
ed in the two openings. For sixty
days no one but soldiers of the World
war will be permitted to make filings
on these farms.
A decade ago the lands now includ-
ed in the North Platte project were
a vast range occupied by nomadic
herds of cattle, but national reclama.
ton has wrought a marvellous change
in that section. The landscape Is now
dotted with hundreds of prosperous
farm homes, and a hundred thousand
acres are producing valuable crops of
alfalfa, sugar beets, cor and pota!
toes. Numerous towns have been es-
tablished and railroads have extended
their branches to connect the valley
with the country's great markets.
Dairying has become a profitable in
dustry. More than $4,500.0 600 worth
of crops were produced on the project
in 1920.
The Shoshone project, in the north
western part of the state, lies in a
region of great scenic beauty, and has
a delightful and healthful climate and
fertile soil. Like the North Platte
project 1t has transformed the desert
into a thickly populated and highly
productive agricultural section. 1t is
a fine dairy country, has a creamery
and alfalfa meal mill. 1t is devoted
TO general farming.
Soldiers who are interested in the
land are invited to investigate the
opportunities offered by these open
ings. Detailed information concern
ing the farms and the method Of OBJ
tanning them may be secured by writ

anew by recent experience that neither
does the accumulation of gold always
result in an expansion of credit and a
rise in prices. nor does its loss through
expectation necessarily cause a CON
traction of credit and a decline in the
prices. The last quarter Of 1919 and
the first half OF 1920 was a period Of
considerable reduction in the country 5
stock Of gold, accompanied by a
marked increase in prices. Through.
out the present period of increasing
gold supply prices have continued
their downward trend.
But the recent accumulation OF gold
in this country is to some extent a
reflection of the inadequate provision
of credits for financing our export
trade. In the interest OF this trade,
every reasonable effort should be
made TO obviate the necessity for for
eign countries to dispose of their gold
holdings in such large quantities.
while this inflow of gold has helped
to improve the reserve position of the
Federal Reserve banks, it represents
on the whole a withdrawal of the metal
from countries which need to
strengthen their ~currencies. The eff
feet upon exchange rates is not pre-
cisely measurable, but it is certain
that the movement can not continue
at the present rate without adversely
affecting exchanges. SO far as this
country is concerned, there is prob.
ably more cause for apprehension on
this score. In view Of the possible
further impediments to u export
trade, than for fear Of an imitation OF
our currency and prices in consequence
Of the accommodating gold supply"

EFFECT or GOLD FLOOD

The flood of gold into the United
States is causing a very widespread
interest over the country as to its eff.
feet upon economic conditions. The
Autocaster service representing the
Register asked Francis H. Sisson. vice.
president Of the Guaranty Trust Co. OF
New York, a noted banker and fnan-
cial expert, about the gold accumula-
ton and the following Is his reply
which we are glad to publish for the
readers of the Register who may be
interested:
To-day the United States has the
largest accumulation Of gold coin and
bullion in all its history. and, in fact,
In the history of any other country.
On June / we held the enormous
amount Of $3.175,OO0 ,00O-nearly one
half Of all the gold coin and bullion
in existence-and since that. date there
have been accretions to orr stock Of
the precious metal almost daily. Gold
has been flowing to this country in a
steady stream since the beginning or
the calendar year. A year ago we held
$2,663, 1906 and, therefore, have ac-
quired s511, 1906 900 since that date,
The aggregate i~mportations of gold
since January ! have amounted to ap-
p~roximately $500, 000, 900. In each
month since August. 1920, imports of
the metal have exceeded exports. This
gold has come from nearly every coun-
try that could possibly send it to US,
although most of it has come from
Europe. and chiefly from Great Britain
and France. About three-quarters of
the total Is held by the Federal Re-
serve banks.
There is no likelihood. however,
that the present accumulation of gold
will give rise to any marked measure
of imitation. 1t has been demonstrated

DENY FIGHT ON FARMERS

Seven national organizations, which
in dispatches from Cincinnati on June
% were linked with the $25O,O 900 "war
chest" that the organized grain trade
is to spend in actually opposing" the
U. S. Grain Growers, Inc, have denied
any official connection with the under.
taking. according to Howard Leonard,
president of the Illinois Farm Bureau.
Because the Cincinnati meeting, &C.
cordlng to dispatches, was held for
the purpose Of directing propaganda
against cooperative grain marketing
organizations, Mr.. Leonard wrote the
secretaries of each association report
ed to be affiliated with the movement,
asking for a statement as to the atti-
tude toward the Cincinnati under
taking.

disavowed connections with the grain

! are frequently heard by representa-
tives Of the weather bureau. depart
ment of agriculture, but reports on
the weather dating as far back as 17sU
show there has been no radical change
in the mean temperature from year
TO year.
Considering the individual months
and the individual years it is found
that the coolest January occurred as
late as 1857. The coolest February
occurred eight years after the warm
est one. The coolest March was as
late as 1870 and again in 1885. The
coolest April was in 1874 and many
years after the warmest one. The
lowest temperature in May was in
1872, 1915, 1870 and 1922. The high
est figures in June are in 1879, 1890,
1903 and 1876. In July the lowest
was in 1916 with the warmest as early
as 1870 and equaled in 1875. The
coolest August occurred 81 years after
the warmest one. In September the
coolest months are in the earlier
years, but for October, November and
December the coolest year came after
the warmest year in each case.
Thus it will be seer that in nine
months of the year the coolest one Of
record occurred after the warmest
one. These figures seem TO indicate
very clearly. the weather official says,
that since the time of the Revolution
airy war, at least, there has been no
permanent change in temperature.

CHINCH BUG STARTS RUMPUS

A chinch bug outbreak which will
undoubtedly do considerable damage
TO the corn crop in the sections where
the pest is found is impending in
South Dakota. according to H. c..
SEVERN, professor of entomology at
State college and state entomologist.
The chinch bugs, which have already
been found in damaging numbers in
Bon Homme and Charles Mix counties.
have caused some damage to wheat,
barley and rye, but are now migrating
to the corn, which will probably suffer
the heaviest damage.
The full extent of the infestation has
not yet been determined. This pest
is normally found in the state but
never before, according to Mr.. SEVERN,
have the bugs become numerous
enough to do serious damage to the
crops.
The chinch bugs hibernate as adults
under fallen leaves, in corn shocks,
etc., but chiefly in grasses growing in
punches. In the spring they come out
and fly to wheat, barley and rye as
well as many wild and cultivated
grasses. They do not attack oats. On
these grasses and grains they lay their
eggs and feed by sucking out the sap.
The eggs hatch into wingless young
and these, as well as the adults. feed
by sucking out the sap. Usually be.
fore the young become adults, the
grain is ready to be cut and when it
is cut they migrate to corr.
