American farmers planning 1924
crops should not calculate increased
marketing in Europe, according to
the Department OF Agriculture. The
department announced results of an
economic survey of Europe which
shows there is little foundation to
hope for an outlet there for surplus
crops. In many countries which in
the past have been good markets
for American agricultural products,
there will be increased acreage next
year, the report states The demoral-
lied general conditions of the coun-
tries also are cited as reason for
believing there will be little pur-
chasing of farm products abroad.
Grain marketed along the Cana
dian Pacific Railway this year to-
tailed 1S7,642,224 bushels, an increase
of 3S.324,619 bushels over any similar
period in the railways history. The
crop did not commence to move un-
til after September 15. From Sep
tember to September 15 only
slightly more than 2O,351,972 bushels
of wheat were marketed along the
Canadian Pacific and only 9,758 cars
were loaded, while from September

keted 167,290,252 bushels, 96,971 cars
being loaded, a daily average of
1.492 cars. From September Is to
November 80 the railway moved east
from Winnipeg 94,421 loads, daily
average of 1926 cars, which means
that load was handled east from

TEN RECORDS

Those who are prone to become
pessimistic over the business situa-
tion in the country ought to ponder
well over the statements Of julius
H. Barnes. president Of the Chamber
OF Commerce OF the United States in
his address recently before the Ma
tional Association Of Insurance
Agents. He cited ten production rec
ords that have been established in
industry during the last few months.
They are:
The largest pig iron production.
The largest cotton consumption.
The largest steel ing0t production.
The largest crude oil production.
The largest residential construction.
The largest production OF locomo-
tiyes.
The largest volume OF mail-order
sales.
The largest volume Of retail sales.
The largest volume Of railroad car
loadings.
Mr.. Barnes also made several sig
nlncant comparisons OF changes that
have taken place In the United States
since the pre-war year Of 1918. The
more important Of these comparisons
are:
The population Of the United States
has increased 100000 people, with
their enlarged requirements.
The annual national income has In
creased from $4,000, 100000 to $780,
000.000,000.
The aggregate savings deposits
have increased from $4,000, ,000, 900 to

SAVE FLOWERS OVER WINTER

On a dry day after the first killing
frost in the fall, Towering plants
with bulbs, tubers, or corms, such
as the dahlia and the gladiolus,
should be lifted, according to bulle-
tin recently issued by the New York
State College of Agriculture at Ith-
aca
This bulletin recommends that the
stems should be cut, leaving about
three or four inches attached to the
tubers or bulbs, which should be
left on the ground to dry for a few
hours, and should then be stored in
a cool, dry cellar, in which the tenn
perature will not drop below 40 de-
grees during the winter months. If
the cellar is likely to be too dry or
warm, the bulbs should be stored in
sand or fine ashes.
The decaying stems and leaves
of flower garden plants should be-
removed and burned before the
plants which stay outdoors are
mulched for winter protection. The
reason Tor this removal and burning
is because the stems and foliage may
harbor over winter the dormant
spores of plant diseases or the eggs
of insect enemies.
Straw manure, cheap hay, or leaves
of trees furnish the best protection
for the flower garden, and this ma
terial should be placed over the Dor
ders or beds to the depth of from
two to three inches. Care should be
exercised, however, in placing the
covering over such plants as fox
gloves or sweet Williams because
their foliage is retained throughout
the winter and if too heavy or mat
ted dressing is applied over them it
has tendency to cause the leaves
and crowns Of the plants to decay.

THRIFT

II can't understand why I am al
ways running behind in my personal
financial affairs" man who earns
handsome salary said some time
ago, writes S. w. Straus, president
American Society for Thrift. When
asked if he kept record OF his ex-
penditures, he replied that he was too
busy to be bothered with such de-
tails. TRY the experiment for a
month";" it was suggested, "and you
will have the answer to your ques-
ton"
The plan was tried. Every penny
of expense was jotted down and at
the end Of the month the man found
that he had spent about 500 more
than he had thought was his GUS
tom. II
That explained the reason why he
was always in quandry about his
personal affairs.
When he was brought face to face
with conditions he began to change
his habits, and his situation improved
IN like proportion.
There are no doubt many such per.
sons who constantly are running be-
hind in personal money matters and
cannot understand the reason.
The very first step toward i'm.
provement must be a daily record Of
expenditures. We dare say that the
majority OF those who begin this
plan will soon be astonished at the
amount OF money they have been
wasting.
Figures do not lie. You can't
spend your money and have it. If
you want to spend constructively and
save wisely you must eliminate the
little wastes.
Above everything else you must
know what you are doing. You can
not build yourself up on the shifting
sands of ignorance or Indifference
1t may seem like waste of time
and effort to keep strict record Of
every penny you spend, but it is the
best method of getting on the right
track in the management of your af-
fairs.
Personal thrift, like business eff
cheney, is matter of method and
system. 1t must be founded on com.
plete knowledge Of ones transac-
tions.
