Good Shopping Manners

In an old time book on good man
ncrs, one of the first instructions Civ
en- to the young woman when she
shops is to remind her that it is not
good form to cheaper" the goods she
wishes to buy. She may politely tell
the salesman or the merchant that
the price is too high, if it really is,
and may make as if to go away;
then if the salesman sets q price she
likes better, she may make the pur-
chase, if she likes. This apparently
is quite good form, but deliberate
ly to dicker with the merchant was
not considered worthy of a perfect
lady"
1t is unnecessary to remind women
| nowadays not to cheaper goods, be-
cause almost everywhere prices are
fixed so that it would be impossible
to cheaper if we wished to do so.
But there are things that the shop
per should bear in mind.
| 1t is very inconsiderate-and any,
thing that is inconsiderate is bad
| fCrm-to treat the salesman or sales
| woman as if he or she were PERSONAL
| ly responsible for the fact that the
goods offered are not what you want.
| Usually, the salesman has nothing
whatever to do with the selection of
| goods, and to assume a sneering at
| titude to him because you do not like
| his wares is ridiculous.
Very often we are tempted to feel
| personal resentment for the salesper-
son because of the high price Of the
| merchandise. When eggs went up to
so cents dozen, dark were the looks
| and unkind remarks directed
| by many housewives at the
grocery clerk who sold those eggs,
| Just as if he had anything to do with
| the price of eggs.
| Some women have habit Of hand
| ling all goods they think of buying,
and even some goods they have no in
| tention of buying. To be sure, if you
are selecting a piece of linen or silk
you will probably need to apprase
| the texture Of the various pieces Of
| fered by feeling them; but this may
| be done without injury to the materi-
| al.
One of the rudest things a shopper
| can do is to try to secure the atten-
| ton Of a salesperson when that per-
son is waiting on some one else.
Years ago. to be sure, one sales person
was expected to wait on five or six GUS
| toners al once, but the modern way is
| the way of concentration, and to try
| to get the attention of salesperson
| already engaged is both inconSiderate
and illbred.-Washingto Star.

BABY BEEF VERY PROFITABLE
Production Can Be Made on Land
Worth Not More Than $3.50 Per
Acre-AIways "Toppers"

Baby beef production can be made
most profitable on land worth not
more than $50 an acre. Of which at
least 80 per cent is easily cultivated,
says w. II. Peters, acting chief Of the
animal husbandry division Of the Uni
versity Of Minnesota. BY baby beef
production. he says, is meant the
growing, fatten{ng and marketing Of
beef calves at ages ranging from II
to "a months, 16 to is months being
the most economical at which to sell.
with sufficient fat on them when
placed on the market. baby beeves
are always market toppers," Professor
Peters says. Baby beef production al
lows raising of more calves on the
same amount of land than does pro-
duction Of stock or feeder cattle Each
good baby beef steer should sell for
$50 to $50 more when one and one-half
years old than the average feeder
steer will bring at two and One-half

prepared by the United States Department

The soy bean is rapidly taking q
place as major crop in the farming
systems Of the corn belt, replacing
oats to considerable extent and TAX
ing part of the corn acreage. AL
though primarily used for forage, pas
ture and ensiage, the rowing of seed
during the last few years has been a
very profitable industry. The produce
tiOn of seed has now increased to the
point where the supply greatly exceeds
the demands for planting.
Seek Commercial Outlet.
County soy-bean associations, grow
ers. county agents md extension Off
cials, notably in Illinois and Indiana,
have concerned themselves i'm the de-
velOpment of q commercial outlet Of
the seed. As result the production
of oil and meal from corn belt grown
soy beans seems to be definitely as
sured for the season of 1922 Several
mills i'm Indiana and Illinois have be
come interested in the possibilities of
the soy bean as source of oil and meal.
Two mills in Illinois have planned to
use about 10000 bushels this season.
while other mills are planning on
smaller scale
Although definite figures are not
available on the acreage of soy beans
in the various states. reports to the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture indicate very large increases in
acreage for seed production and for
age purposes throughout the northern
and corn belt states The possibilities
of utilizing domestic grown beans for
