NEW VEGETABLE
COMING TO FRONT
Dasheen, Potato Substitute,
Finds Larger Demand as
Quality Improves.

IF the dasheen is TO become the i'm
portant crop on the market that is
naturally to be expected of it, in view
OF It's deSirabillty as substitute for
potatoes in the Southern States and
to supply the demands of certain
foreign peoples of our larger cities.
the growers will need to adopt ap
proved methods OF mark citing and
grading the product, says the United
States Department Of Agriculture.
The market for dasheens is as yet
limited, principally for the reason
that very small part of our popu
lation is familiar with this new vege
table. However, the demand is slow
ly increasing, and, as a supply of
uniformly good quality is placed on
the market and the best methods of
preparation for the table come to be
understood. the use of dasheens will
increase more rapidly.
Demand Being Built Up.
Farmers Bulletin 1896 has just been
issued by the Department of Agricul-
ture covering every phase of dasheen
culture and marketing. This vege-
table was introduced into the South
ern States primarily as a means of
substituting part Of the potato sup
ply which Is shipped into the South
from the Northern States
A small demand for the vegetable
has already been built up among
Americans who have become acquaint-
ed with 1T and among foreigners in
the large cities who knew the dasheen
In their native countries but il is the
opinion Of the department that
larger market can be built up as the
vegetable becomes better known
Best Quality Necessary.
the bulletin. for the growers of dash
Gems to get the crop off his hands
with the least possible labor even at
a low price and an equally natural
tendency on the part of the whole
saler to purchase at as low price
as possible. The grower may be re
minded, however, that dasheens. per
haps even more than any ordinary
crop, at present need to be at their
best both in quality and appearance
in order to sell readily. In introduc-
ing a new food, as is being attempted
with this vegetable among our Amer
lean people. it should be first-class in
every respect. Even among people
of foreign birth who already Know the
dasheen, the marketing OF high
grade product will unquestionably re-
suit in larger consumption.

SEES RELIGION ON BASE

College Professor Declares in Lon

~ The AssnciaLed Press

LONDON November The
churches cannot afford to be ham
pered by unintellectual beliefs which
greatly weaken their influence on
those who are worth influencing; re-
iiSion stands on ground which can
not be aSsailed; it has no use for
rickety defenceS." Such were. the
worwords in which Prof. J. S. Haldane
of New College, oxford. brother of
England's lord chancellor told the
Conference of Modern Churchmen of
the harm done to Christianity by an
cicnt dogmas, which, he said, were
not in keeping with present-day
knowledge. He was discussing biolo-
-y and religion. Prof Haldane ad-
-nitted that he was not church
member and proceeded to tell the
conference the reason why
Il am one of many" Prof. Haldane
said, who are kept away from ex-
sting churches by dogmas we cannot
honestly countenance. There is, per-
haps, still larger number who are
actively hostile because they regard
churches as hotbeds of superstition"
Continuing, the speaker said: 'If /
belonged 10 a church at all it would
be to my own Scots church, for the
one reason that it possesses the ad-
vantage of having no prayer book"

EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.
Rates Change With Conditions.

In preceding article of this series I
pointed out the returns possible on
various classes of investments on the
present market. 1t was shown that up
to 51s per cent could be obtained from
conservative investments, and that 6
per cent was reasonable if care was
taken in the selection.
Now over a period OF time there is
constant change in these rates. For
time late in 1920 and early in 1921 as
much as per cent was to be had upon
obligations of the United States Govern
ment against less than 4 which all the
Liberty loans now yield. In the same
way in April, 1920, the Pennsylvania
Railroad sold s50,000.000 bond issue
on a per cent basis, while a few weeks
ago the same company was enabled to
borrow OH longtime bonds at per cent
and to negotiate loan for one month
for 3 per cent. Many industrial COM
panies in 1920 and 1921 issued bonds
carrying s per cent coupons. and some
of these have recently, been redeemed
with moneys raised at cost of 2 per
cent less
The point is that conditions have
changed in the past four years. and it is
perfectly possible that similar change
may be in store for use during the next
four years, although fluctuations so
an investor was able to loan his money
at per cent with the same security on
which it is now possible to obtain only
S. Changes, of this kind do not come
rapidly. To an extent they are foresee-
able. When it appears that the trend
of money rates is upward it is advisable
to buy short-term bonds, and when the
prevailing movement is toward lower
interest rates long-term securities are
preferable.
These ups and downs have nothing
whatever to do with the safety of an
investment They affect only its price.
When Liberty bonds sold at IS cents on
the dollar four years ago they were
just as safe as they are today, when the
quotation for the Treasury Ans is $1o6
per s100. Principal and interest were,
just as well assured one time as the
other. It is sometimes practicable to
take advantage Of these cycles in in
vestment values, but to do so requires.
expert guidance. Lacking that the ordi-
nary investor better content himself
with securities that are essentially
sound and not worry about market
prices.

"Ham Smellers." i"

From the Popular Mechanics Magazine.
The quality of freshly cured hams
prepared by large meat packers is de-
termined by expert ham smellers," who
test each piece by its aroma before per-
Initting it to be taken from the store
room. Many years of experience are
necessary to develop skill in the art OF
distinguishing between the properly
cured article and that which requires
additional treatment. Among the big
ger concerns many thousands of hams
are turned out each day. all of which
must pass through the hands of corps
of inspectors whose sense of smell
proves the condition of the product, In
a similar manner, teas and coffees are
tasted by experts, who select the bev-
erageS for wholesale firms.

debt, declares the United States De-

THE production season is practi-
cally ended. Grain is mostly threshed,
silos are filled, cotton ginning is we'll
along and hay pressers are busy.
The early movement of grain and
cotton to market has been heavy.
Many corn growers are struggling
with the problem of soft corn.
Potatoes, which is one Of the chief
money crops in the East, are turning
out large yields but meeting a dis
appointing market. This comes dis

HIGHER HOGS LIKELY.
Agriculture Department Sees Even
Chance for Price Rise.

There are apparently fewer hogs
in sight for next year than any time
since 1920" says Department of
Agriculture survey. THE corn sit
uation indicates lighter weight hogs.
and the trend of hog production in
Europe is about the same as here
All the factors in the hog situation
seem to mean more than AN even
chance for higher hog prices.
"A drop in hog production might
play some part in the beef cattle sit
uation. The country is apparently
still long on cattle. The run of beef
stock to market is heavier than last
Fall and it is going to slaughter
rather than to feed lots. Cattle
raisers probably are now in the most
distressed position OF any major
