Glass Farming Has Become
Important Industry.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture)
Glass farming, or the growing OF
flowers and vegetables in green
houses, has become an important in
dustry in the United States, and ac-
cording tn the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, the industry is
constantly increasing because of the
demand for vegetable and floral prod
ucts of the quality that can be pro-
duced in the modern greenhouse.
There are now more than 1900 es-
adjustments employing some type of
forcing structure for the production
of plants, flowers, or vegetables, the
glass area covering nearly $500
acres.
High-quality greenhouse products
are finding an increased demand, and
the industry offers special induce
ments to those having a knowledge
of and a liking for the work. Sue
cess in this industry will depend
much on the suitability and ade-
quacy of the equipment. The fact
that the quantity of coal used to
maintain an acre of space inclosed in
greenhouses at the required tempera-
lures varies from go to 500 tons a
season, indicates the need for the
practice of every possible economy.

ECRETARY OF LABOR JAMES
], DAVIS, after spending the
summer in Europe, is embody-
ing the results of his study
abroad, as well as of his previous
thought here, in the preparation of a
new immigration bill, which he hopes
to present to the next congress. He
has made no official announcement Of
the nature of the bill, but he has talked
in public to the following effect:
"We are faced with the necessity of
determining on our immigration policy.
At present our immigration is con-
trolled under the 3 per cent quota law.
This law will expire on the last day of
next June and, unless we write new
immigration law before that time, we
will have immigration without restric-
ton.
II favor an immigration program
based on these points:

For example, announcement was

who gave their views in New York
were Senator Ladd (Rep., N. d., Sen

Careful Seed Selection
Controls Corn Disease

Corn root and ear rot causes the
roots and interior Of the stalks to
turn black and decay. Badly diseased
stalks break over at the ground, and
those showing slight infection usual
ly appear in a weakened condition.
The ears show pinkish or white
growths of fungi which cause the
grains to rot. When husked the ears
show stringy butts and kernels loose
ly attached to the cob. Careful seed
selection is the best method of con-
troll for this disease.

HOW TO CATCH FAKE
STOCK statesmen

Some state bankers associations
are distributing an investors ques-
tionnaire with the idea of protecting
purchasers of securities from fake
stock statesmen.
Whenever you are solicited to pur-
chase stock or other securities, use this
QUESTIONABLE before investing any of
your funds" says one of these. "The
QUESTIONABLE was compiled to protect
the small investor and to emphasize
the necessity of Investigating thor
oughly every investment proposition
before placing any money therein.
When you have been furnished with
the information called for in this
QUESTIONABLE, take it to any one OF
the banking institutions in your COM
munity and get it's opinion Of the stock
offered. If the stock salesman refuses
to fill out this QUESTIONABLE, have
nothing more to do with his PROPOSE
ton, as it is evident that he is foster
ing a fraudulent promotion"
The QUESTIONABLE pins the salesman
down to answering the following
questions:

Mr.. Hampden skillfully carried the

austerity, bringing to the famous
play quality noticeably lacking in
SO many other dramas of similar
nature.

symbolical study of a vicar and bis
ambitious wife, of the troubles in
which that gentleman finds himself
through her activities, and of the
solution offered through the simple

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Feb 16
The great storm which took the
worst ton of shipping in the north
Pacific in twenty-five years was re-
ported subsiding today.
Three big vessels were complete
wrecks, one was burned to the
waters edge and possibly a fifth
went on the rocks. The complete
toll may not be known for several
days. More than a dozen vessels
were in the storm area off the
Washington and British Columbia
coasts and not all have made port
or reported.
Although reports to SWayne and
Hoyt, agents for the owners of the
| British freighter Tuscan Prince,
crew of forty-two men had been
saved and landed on Vancouver
Island, the details of the rescue
| were obscure. Some fear was felt
| that the rescue of the crew of the
Santa Rita might have been con.
fused with that of the Tuscan
Prince.
The property loss today was esti-
| mated in the neighborhood of
$4,000, 900.
The heroism of A. Hogart, who

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 10
The coffee market is declared
by brokers to be facing a severe
shortage, and prices both of the
raw and roasted products have
been advancing in the last few
days.
The immediate cause of this
shortage, declares A. w. L..
Dunn, of Dunn & Co., coffee
importers, of Los Angeles and
New York, is lack of surplus
in New York, New Orleans and
San Francisco, the three big
coffee depots in the United
States.
One cause for the reported
shortage is given as financing
of the Brazilian growers by that
government, with a consequent
holding of stocks for higher
prices.
