Inefficient Production
No Cure for Low Prices

In discussing various aspects of farm
product values, Professor J. l. Fal-
cOner, agricultural economist, Ohio
State university says:
'Inefficiency in production is no cure
for low prices. Experience and re-
search have shown that farmers with
high yields make greater profits than
'neir neighbOrs with low yields. On
high-priced land high yields are more
economical to produce than low yields.
II a reduction in output of a particu-
lar crop seems desirable, it would he
better to reduce the acreage or, for
Individual farmers, to abandon the crop
entirely than to reduce the yields"

Dairymen Are in Favor
of Calves During Fall

Dairymen have practically settled
the question of having calves come
pring or fall, in favor of the fall sea-
son, because cows that freshen in the
fall always produce more milk and
butterfat than those that freshen in
the spring, and because there is more
time to attend the cows during the
winter. Hence from January 1 to
March l is the most favorable season

THE northern section, such as north

buy cherry trees in the fall, bury then
in the ground and after the ground is
frozen cover it with straw, leaves oi

planted in the spring seem to do better

CATERPILLAR HORDES
 THREATEN PINE FORESTS
German Officials May Ask League Permission to Usc Planes and
 Poisonous Gas 10 Fight Pest

Breslau, Aug 5. - Thousands of acres of pine forests along the bor- der line between Germany and Po- land are in danger Of being destroyed by countless millions of caterpillars of the pine tree lappet- which have infested the districts in greater numbers than has ever been known, according to German foresters who have appealed 10 the Berlin govern ment for aid. Tar and various other so-called remedies have been tried but without success in efforts to exter- minate the pest and officials have been considering asking the league of nations for permission to use airplanes and poison gas.
 In the forests where fresh tar has been put about the tree trunks the caterpillars merely ovcrran the tar to such an extent that covering of the dead caterpillars thus entrapped was quickly formed. over which their fol- lowers reached the tree branches and leaves which were soon devoured by the rapacious insects. Experts say the cnly hope of saving many of Ger many's great pine forests would be by the uso of poison gas, but they are not even certain that this would work successfully in putting an end to the plague. The officials, however are eager to try this method as an ex- pertinent.
 To person walking through the infested forests, either during the day or night, the sound of the caterpilars eating the leaves may be heard on all sides to such an extent that the trees appear to Dc alive, the sound remind- ing one Of an unseen cracking fire when ol leaves and young branche, are being burned. The plague has spread 10 some Of the forests near Berlin, according to reports to the for estry Apartment, and millions c: marks 0. :rr, parable damage has al. ready beer cone.

Chicago, Aug. 5.--The first match rounds of the women's western golf championship were played today at Onventsia club with weather condi- tions considerably improved over the almost unplayable situation produced by yesterdays torrential rains. There are 32 contenders for the title now held by Miriam Burns of Kansas City.
 Although the course was not flooded as during the qualifying rounds, it ap- peared doubtful whether any of the players would excel the medal score of s4 made yesterday by Edith Cum mings of Onwentsia, national cham pion. This performance was three strokes under par for the GAO yard course and was 16 strokes under the top figure at which four women tied for the last two places.

POISON w EVIL SAYS HUTCHISON.|
Famous Inventor Takes No Stock In Cold Weather
 Argument

MOBILE, Ala. Jan. 10.-(Special Leased Wire.l-poisoning is the most dependable measure for southern farmers to rely upon in tho fight on the boil weevil. according to an opinion expressed here tonight by pr. Miller Reese Hutchison>of New Yofk, famous inventor and engineer, in an interview in which he discoura ged the idea that the recent cold weather served as q far reaching destructive agency against the cotton pest.
 pr. Hutchison said he doubted that the cold wave affected the boil weevil to an extent that will be noticeable during the coming cotton season. although he stated that the low tenn peratures probably had some adverse influence on the weevil. He said a greater damage would have been suf- wave appeared a month or two earlier before the pest hibernated. He~ex- plaired that after the weevil passed into state of hiberatntion it is more impervious to cold. f'
 Nevertheless, cold weather could not have been safely depended upon Fhad it occurred earlier in the sea son, he said, emphasizing that he be- lieved the most effective weapon is poison.
 pr. Hutchison suggested that the southern cotton planters should adopt an irrevocable credit order plan to secure calcium arsenate for fighting the boil weevil. Under such . method of procedure, the manufacturers could prepare the material in advance and forward the shipments as they arc needed. he pointed out. This, he said, is in his opinion the preferable step to take in order to insure an adeuuate supply

Lam easter. former national guardsman, u be held at Hamilton January 21. Judge Pesrce was appointed to try the case last summer. but . continu- ance to January 21 was arranged.
 The Lancaster case is one of the most noted in recent Alabama his- tory, Lancaster having been charged with a number of other national suardsmen with murder in c2nnec- ton with the lynching of William Baird. striking miner, in 1920. Baird was under arrest at the time, charged with killing a guardsman. and was taken from jail and riddled with bullets by a party of men alleged to have been national guardsmen on strike duty in the mineral district
 Lancaster, who was at the time . sergeant in the guard, and who Is from Tuscaloosa county. was ar rested with . number of other gusrdsmeu, charged with the crime. Two previous trials of Lancaster az Hamilton in Marion county have re- suited in mistrials and the states case is considered to have been weakened by the recent death of the chauffeur, west, who was alleged 70 have piloted the lynching party which murdered Baird.
