From an eight-ounce package OF

through the efforts of @. w Piper OF
the United States Department Of Ag-

has rapidly increased until in 1918 the
value of the crop in the United States
was estimated to be $10,0O0,00O, and
its popularity is said to be greater
here than in its native country. 1t Is
particularly well adapted to semi
tropical regions and the warmer parts
of the temperate zones, but it has
been grown with some success as far

of Normal Crop.
MATERIAL SHORTAGE IN WOOL

prepared by the United States Department
Of Agricultural
A material shortage in spring lambs
Is indicated in advices received by the
United States Department Of Agrlcul-
ture from the western sheep country.
Figures are not available, but trained
observers say that the total lamb pro-
ductlon in Montana, Wyoming, Wash
ington, Oregon, Idaho and Nevada Is
only 20 per cent Of normal crop.
Smaller Supply Of Wool.
This also means a small supply of
wool. Contracting Of both wool and
lambs has reached large dimensions
during recent weeks. Numerous large
western operators are reported to be
securing the West for new crop lambs
and many sales at 8 to 10 cents
pound are reported, with the latter
price being generally refused In Idaho,
Washington and oregon. The price
last year was 5 to Z cents. Fleeces on
sleeps backs are selling as high as
50 to SO cents a pound, with some
clips including the Jericho pool clip
selling up to 40 cents.
The situation is attributed to
shortage Of ewes, the over age Of
many breeding flocks, and losses of
early spring lambs on account Of cold
weather and the backward spring
season. A winter lamb and sheep
market higher than the trade antici-
pated, a shortage in the visible sup
ply, and the recent sharp upturn in
wool values have created bullish
sentiment in the markets.
Money, which was tight last fail
and in the early winter, now appears
abundant and large spectators and
Western feeders are buying freely.
This fact combined with the short
crop leads many in the trade to be-
heve that the coming summer and
fall supply Of both feeding and fat
lambs at the large market centers
will be far below normal Present con-
ditions indicate that many lambs will

To insure seed grain free from wee

stead Of spreading the grain out thin,
store compactly, thereby lessening the

them open in good weather, thereby
keeping out bugs and letting in air.

Sheep Grazing on Western Range.
be held In the West for fattening for
next winters market.
Some reports indicate that large
western spectators and feeders have
already contracted approximately half
the lamb crop in Idaho, Oregon, and
Washington. According to the best in
formation available the summer mar
ketward movement from these states
will be late in getting under way, and
will probably not reach stable pro-
portions before the last of July or
early in August.
Lambs Had Poor Start.
Ewes wintered poorly and because
Of the backward spring were not only
late getting on the range, but started
the grazing season in poor flesh, with
the result that February lambs, the
crop of which was more nearly nor
NAL than that Of later lambs, had a
poor start.
The April lamb crop Is very short,
according to all reports. Many flock
masters tried to lamb the April crop
on the open range, but cold weather
caused heavy losses. Breeding focks
are seriously over aged, but there Is
an acute shortage Of young stock and
1t is believed that very attractive
market will be necessary to draw any
large quantity of breeding fiocks to
the SHAMELESS. Young ewes are in
strong demand all over the West and
bids of So to $12 head have not
brought out many. It seems certain
that very few young western ewes
will reach market centers during the
coming season.

When Sown in Rows.
Plants" published by the Department
Of Agriculture, H. N. Vinall and r. e.
Getty have given extensive informa-
ton regarding the history, adaptation,
growing, and utilization of this plant
and some related grasses. Sudan, how.
ever, is far the most important, and
the others are treated only briefly.
This new grass has proved best adapt
ed to the southern half of the Great
Plains in the states Of Texas, Okla
homa and Kansas. It does not sue
coed well at high attitudes nor within
200 miles of the northern boundary of
the United States. 1t has high-water
requirement, but it wlthstands drought
well and RECEIVERS quickly when rain
comes.
Sudan grass is admirably adapted
for use as an emergency hay crop, and
is rapidly supplanting millet in many
states. 1t is being used successfully
by thousands of farmers as a summer
pasture. For this purpose there are
few crops that give better returns and
serve so well to supplement the per-
manent pastures and the feed lot.
The bulletin outlines the results Of
numerous feeding experiments with
sudan grass. In these experiments
it was demonstrated that sudan grass
hay compares very favorably with
other well-known hays in feeding
value, especially as roughage for
work horses and stock cattle.
At present, seed production Is I'M
profitable on account Of low yields and
uncertain prices. Yields Of seed are
highest in western Texas and in the
irrigated regions Of New Mexico, Ari-
IONA and California. In growing the
seed a great deal of care is necessary
to prevent the hybridization with the
sorghums. When intended for seed 1t
should be at least 80 rods from any
field Of sorghum.

Henry Ford And
Muscle Shoals

We believe it is impossible to over
stress the Importance to the South
and to the country at large of the ac-
ceptance by the Government of pro-
position from Henry Ford for the
Muscle Shoals property and all that is
involved in that.
Mr.. Ford has proven himself to be
one of the greatest business geniuses
of this or any other age; he has
wrought marvels, almost miracles, in
the creation of an industry which has
enormously added to the comfort and
transportation facilities Of millions of
Americans; he has met ard overcome
every difficulty, financially and other
wise, despite the gigantic influences
that have been at work to try to wreck
him financially. A the present time
many of these influences with others
added are seeking in every way pos
sible TO misrepresent Mr.. Ford's pro-
position, 20 distort it, to belittle it,
and to damn it in the eyes Of the
public. For years they sought to be-
little the Muscle Shoals proposition
and the river transportation involved
i'm its Improvement. They now seek
TO magnify its Importance and try TO
convince the country that for the
Government to accept Ford's PROPOSE
ton would be to rob the people Of
vast potentiality for the individual
benefit of Ford.
Some months ago a representative
of one of the leading opponents Of
the Ford offer urgently sought the
cooperation Of the Manufacturers
Record to fight the Ford proposition.
Many of the statistics then presented
against the acceptance Of the Ford
offer have since been anonymously
published in al parts Of the country.

ALL ARE PLEASED
WITH "TOYMAKER"
Parts Are All Admirably Taken
BY Players OF Marked
Ability.

One Of the most unique plays ever
put ON by the students Of NJ. S, c, w.
was presented to the public Friday
night when the Juniors gave their
annual play, "The Toymaker."
The play, by Austin Strong, deals
with the fortunes of an old Dutch
Toymaker, his wife, and the love be-
tween David, their youngest son, and
Hesta, the daughter Of rich mer-
chant. The American children are
tired of dolls; they want Teddy-bears
/ instead; troubles are many, but
Adolph, the son who went to America
many years before, comes back mag
nifcantly, rollingly, rich" and all ends
very happily.
Quaint and imposing posters and
placards on the campus and about the
town had given the public tantalizing
gimpses Of placid wind-mills and
complacent Hollanders gossiping along
quiet canals, but despite this pre-
paration, the first scene caused the
audience to gasp in delighted surprise.
Katharine Glover, and Kate Denham,
guarding the dykes, were picturesque
figures in the little booth. Light
hearted burghers trooped by, singing,
and crowds Of children loitered on
their, way along the street, Julia
O'Neal as the street-cleaner, and
Eugenia Eckford as the Lamplighter,
were two dignifed Juniors whom we
would have never recognised, SO per-
feet was their makeup and acting.
And came David, the Toymaker's son,
with his violin, and his little friend,
Paul, to tell Hesta of his love. Claire
Bradley, as David, made strikingly
handsome boy and a most charming
lover. We are glad that he inherits
much of the Toymaker's disposition
and feeling towards life. This was
Claire's first appearance behind the
footlights, but she played so naturally
and so joyously that we shall certain
ly hope to see her again. Virginia
Pringle, as Paul, was a delightfully."-
unexpected little Dutch boy. Vir- /
ginia has never essayed masculine
or child role before, but she did both
wonderfully well, and nothing could
have been so audacious, so little
boyish' as this alert little red-headed +
Dutchman.

THE TRICKY GERMANS

Judging by recent events, the German in
dustrials are much better strategsts than
her militarists. While Hindenburg ct al. made
a sorry mess of number of promising off
ensives, Her SHINES and his group have so
manipulated Germany's government finances
that the Preparations Commission has con-
sented to permitting her to default on her
January payments under the Versailles
Treaty.
According to Herr SHINES and Dr. Rath-
enau, the German government was in such
financial straits that payment of the indem-
mites in gold was impossible They suggest
ed that Germany might pay in goods; but
this brought a vigorous protest from both
employers and workmen in Great Britain
There is now widespread unemployment in
British industrial centers, for the reason that
there is no continental market for British
goods at prices which will justify the exist
ing scales of wages. If Germany were to be
permitted to pay in goods, it would keep the
German industrial workers busy while the
British workmen would be idle, because the
people of England would be buying German
goods in place Of those made by her own
Workmen.
So, if Germany were to pay in goods, there
would be increased unemployment in Eng
land and France. She cannot pay in gold,
because the industrial groups in Germany,
headed by Herr SHINES, have got possession
OF all the German gold and banked it in neu-
trail countries. So cleverly have these Ger
man industrials manipulated their affairs
that the government was really helpless; and
that is the very condition her strategists
sought to bring about.
According to French reports, the German
manufacturers have lodged 100000 900 gold
marks in foreign banks, while the govern
ment was not able to raise 500,000000 gold
marks to meet the January payments.
SO it appears that while the German gov
eminent is in a bad way, the German peo-
pie are fairly prosperous The impoverished
condition of the state finances is due to large
part to the subsidies paid by the government
to stimulate certain industries The German
government pays a heavy bread subsidy, but
this enabled the employers to get their work
men for less The government operated the
railroads last year at heavy loss. But the
shippers were the benefciares of the low
transportation rates.
Subsidies were paid last year out of the
German treasury in half dozen forms to
make up deficits in private business Under
such conditions, it is not surprising that the
government finances are in bad shape. When
ever the treasury is running low the govern
ment printing presses are set to work and
few more billion marks of fiat money are
created At the present time Germany has
in circulation 1902, 789 100000 marks more
than five times the amount of United States
paper money. Before the war the German
paper circulation was less than our own.
Those who have studied the German fin
