ORCHARD AND GARDEN
NOTES
april s to 15.)

Plant two or three dozen or
more gladioli bulbs this spring.
Lettuce, radish, onions, spinach
and parsnips may be planted
early. The ground should be
easily worked and in good condi-
ton before planting.
A few good hand tools, such
as hand seeders and cultivators,
make garden work easy. Plant
in long rows in well prepared
soil.
Don't be in a hurry to uncover
Strawberries and perennials.
Leave a part of the cover on as
long as possible.
Seeds may be planted in a
sheltered part of the garden for
transplanting later, as soon as
the soil can be easily worked.
Many gardeners and fruit
growers could easily increase
their sales during the summer by
a little careful advertising. Try
it, it's worth while.
Vegetables have a greater food
value than many people think
A garden of ten or a dozen kinds
should add a pleasing variety to
the table all summer. Plan and
plant for all years use.
BE sure your vegetable ano
flower seeds are of good quality
1t costs no more to raise gooC
varieties than poor, and there is
a lot more pleasure in it.
The home flower garden should
not be neglected. Cut flowers
will prove worth while for home
decoration all summer. A few
perennials should be planted
ANIMALS give quick returns ant
liberal paintings of favorites
should be made.

The new banks will render
maximum service, but elemental
business safety must be the first
consideration"
Mr.. Lobdell says the banks will
begin service with reasonable
promptness, but because of the
presence of the field of the War
Finance Corporation and the
generally satisfactory condition
of credits through existing agen-
cies," no considerable immediate
demand is anticipated.

poses and orderly marketing, but
none to support speculative ho.d.
ing of farm products, according
to statement issued this week
by Chas. f. Lobdell, farm loan
commissioner. Loans for the pres,
ent, will run only 9 months; until
the system has had adequate
trial, Mr. Lobdell said.
The st. Paul Bank should be
ready for business in 80 days,
according to f. G. Quamme, pres
ident of the Federal Land Bank,
under whose direction the new
institution is being formed.
Mr.. LobdelPs statement points
out that loans can not be made
direct to individuals, though CO.
operative marketing associations
will be served when obligations
are secured by warehouse re-
ceipts. No loan will be made for
more than rs per cent of the
market Value of product.
The system will provide a4ri-
cultural credits for a longer peri
cd than does the average bank,
the statement says. 1T is a new
system and must be developed
with patience, prudence and care
Loans discounted by bankers
and banking institutions must
have been made for agricultural
purposes-to persons engaged il
agriculture or for the purpose OF
carrying on such business.
No paper can be discounted
by banks on which borrower has
been charged more than II pei
cent over the discount rate of the
intermediate bank.
Because advances can be made
only on receipts from govern
ment bonded warehouses or those
operating under satisfactory
state supervision, there should
be greater activity in the devel,
opment of warehouse facilities
mo loans, until the system is
thoroughly tried out, will be
made for periods longer than nine
months. On livestock paper, sa

will be given in proper cases.

A Pllfered Story

A woman who was reared in an
eastern town read in a poultry journal
that poultry raising was remuner-
ative, so she decided to try it. She
purchased a hen and set her on
thirteen eggs. She wrote to poultry
journal asking how long the hen would
remain on the eggs. The paper wrote
back: "Three for chickens, and four
weeks for ducks" Later she wrote
to the poultry journal as follows:
"Many thanks for your advice about
the setting hen. She remained on the
nest three weeks and at the end of
that time there were no chickens
AS I did not care for the
ducks, 1 took her off the nest and
sold the eggs"

ORGANIZATION WILL WIN

Sugar beet producers of northeast
ern Colorado will get at least S1.50
per ton less for their 1922 beet crop
than the farmers in some other Sec
tions, according to the figures quoted
this week by ]. H. Golden, organiza-
tion director of the Mountain States
Beet Growers Association in Sterling.
'The Holly Sugar Company of Wyo-
ming already has paid growers SO 90
on their last years crop, with final
payment still to be made," said Mr..
Golden. an Sugar City the members
of their local cooperative pool have
received from the National Sugar
Company $3.50 with final payment
still due"
These figures more than anything
else, prove that the proposed $3.50
contract of the Mountain States or
ganization is fair proposition. If
other sugar companies can afford to
pay more. the Great Western also
can afford to pay more. And the
farmer cannot afford to take less"
With $4,000 acres signed up to the
pool in the territory tributary to the
Sterling sugar factory, more than
71.OOO acres had been signed up by
the cooperative organization early
this week The total required before
the marketing agreements are bind
ing on members is $4,000 acres.

CATACLYsM TO SHIFT
EARTH'S AXIS
Europe Engulfed, America Saved, Ten
Years Hence, Says Scientist
By BOB DORMAN


Philadelphia, Sept. 14.-Is the Jap
anese earthquake warning of ,cata-
clysms that will remould the earth?
Is the map of the world to be
changed, whole continents wiped out
and new continents created in a
Second Deluge?
DR.. Milton A. Mobiles, geologist
and student of earthquake and vol
canic phenomena, thinks so.
More than a year, ago. in New
York newspaper, he predicted a
series of disasters in death belt"
he traced through Italy, Dalmatai,
Asia Minor, Persia, India, Japan and
Siberia-the exact spots where most
of the big earthquakes and volcanic
eruptions of the year have occurred!
And now DIR. Mobiles sees these
events-within ten years:
Oceans engulfing all Europe, half
of Asia, part of Africa and part of
North America
New lands rising to double the
area of the western hemisphere and
joining Australia and New leland in
continent three times their pres
ent size.
Shifting of the earth on its axis,
with new North Pole in Siberia
and new South Pacific ocean.
A new equator with the United
States so close the all-year mildness
of Florida will be the nations tenn
perature.
New seacoasts in Atlantic and
Pacific, making New York Boston,
New Orleans, San Fransisco and other
ports inland cities.
Transformation of the Gulf of
Mexico into an inland sea, and Central
America and the West Indies amalga-
mated in the new American continent
5000 miles wide
Science will laugh, suppose"
says DIR. Mobiles. Science laughed
in March, 1922, at my theories. Yet
earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and
tidal waves have occurred the past
year precisely in the zone I indicated.
DR.. Mobiles makes the specific fore
cast for the immediate future: "Italy
will probably suffer next-a terrific
catastrophe within thirty days"
Ten years is the time he sets for
word reborn.
Look at the map" he says. "In
the zone of black-the death belt
are located the worlds active vol
canoes. There is connection between
them, proved by the fact that when
Mt Etna erupts in Italy the lava
sinks in Mt. Hecla's crater in Iceland.
Continual readjustment of the
earth's crust will open a chasm be-
meath the sea that will connect with
the fires beneath the surface in this
belt.
''This will cause the formation of
steam, and the enormus pressure will
blow up continents and submerge
them.
"As the water rushes into these
holes, oceans will be lowered in their
present beds, causing new land to
emerge.
This change is merely the plan
of nature to maintAin an ever fertile
world.
Centuries ago terrific explosion
sank the land between America and
Europe and turned the world on its
axis Now it is going to happen
again!"
