FARMERS TO HAVE

Henry Clews, New Yorker Bank

For Agricultural Sections

NEW YORK, August 5.-Herry
CLOVIS, in their weekly financial re-
view, issued today. say prosperity
lies ahead for agricultural sections
especially. Corn end more recent
~ hog prcies have advanced in en-
couraging fashion" says the review.
The cotton crop still faces its most
critical period, but it is safe enough
to say that whatever cotton is ac-
tually raised and harvested will
bring profitable price, and the
outlook at the present moment is
for a moderately good yield. All
this bespeaks a much greater pur-
chasing power on the part of the
farmer and can be expected to re-
fleet itself directly in the opera
tioHs of mail order establishments,
agricultural machinery manufac-
turers, fertilizer producing compa-
MICS and other branches of business
that manufacture chiefly or largely
for farmer consumption and indi-
rectly in the sales of considerable
variety of other concerns. The
stocks of some of these have already
profited measurably by the condi-
tons already outlined, and further
Improvement is certain to follow
# agricultural prices continue to
hold their present levels or 20 high

A BUTTER WAR is
NOW ON IN EARNEST
WAREHOUSES; HAVE 81 MIL
LION POUNDS STUCK AWAY
IN REFRIGERATORS.

CHICAGO, Ill.-There's twice as
much butter in storage now as there
was a year ago.
ing higher prices.
Today 82,297o56 pounds are tucked
away in refrigerating vaults in the
large cities. At this time last year
there were 4S,360,S55 pounds.
Retail prices now, outside of the
chain stores, range from 50 to S. cents
a. pound A year ago they varied from
50 to 81 cents.
And why is this?
Here are opinions from men who
handle it:
Give Different Reasons.
Retailers are gouging consumers
and are prohteering on butter, George
L. Mckay, secretary of the American
| Association of Creamery Butter Man
ufacturers, believes.
ANY cry against high prices cannot
be blamed against the creameries, .
Mckay says. 1T is the retailers who
are to blame. Where they used to be
satisfied with margin of six or seven
cents they now demand Is cents.
Wholesale prices range between
80 and SO cents, compared with "A
and As cents last year Retail prices
about this time last year were from
50 to 81 cents. Now they range from
50 to IS cents, though in chain stores
the price is somewhat below so cents. -
Mckay places all the blame on the
retail grocer, who, he says, is squeez
ing every penny he can from the
housewife"
Blames Women.
Housewives will not use storage
butter in the summer months, and
this fact alone is responsible for the
immense reserve piled up in storage
plants Sol Westerheld, Chicago re-
tailor contends. He passes the buck
en- to the women.
Il do not know of a grocer handling
storage butter to the housewife trade, y
he says. Gas a result of the lack OF
demand there is on hand in the vari-
Gus storage plants a tremendous sur
plus, nearly twice as much as on the
same day last year.
The storage men, by propaganda
hope to stimulate trade in the cheaper
butter and thus save the spectators
who made bad investments"

At the Experiment Station last, fall
4000 weevils were put in cages i'll
which was placed enough straw to

c,use OF this low emergence was un-
Jorbtedlv the unusual cold weather
which occurred on January II and af-
Ter Ii Is also certain that the small
number of weevils appearing in fields
This sgring was due to the same cause
and not from any passing" OF the
boil Weevii.
Several theories have been advanc-
cd to account for this "passingF Of
t5e boil weevil. None of them are
based on fact or will hold water"
when carefully examined. One of the
most common theories advanced is
that an unknown parasite is the cause
Of the decrease. But the experiment
cited above proves that the decrease
took place last winter, and parasites
are not active during cold weather.
Another theory advanced is that our
weather does not agree with the boil
weevi1 Weather was undoubtedly the
cause of the decrease i'll boil weevils
this year; but, unfortunately, it was
unusual weather and not usual wealth
er which caused the decrease, and
therefore the results are not perma-
nent. For the past four or five years
we have had plenty of evidence that
the boil weevil is adapted to our eli
mate. We also have over thirty years
experience in other states to show
that the boil weevil does not pass
through" a country to which it is
adapted, but becomes a permanent in
haHtant.
Judging from past experience there
are at present in most localities in
Georgia enough boil weevils in the
fields to start a dangerous infestation
next spring, provided Georgia expe-
rientes one of her usual mild winters.
Ii the unusual should happen again
and we should have another severe
winter like the last we may again ex-
pect a low boil weevil emergence AS
it is never a wise plan to depend on
the unusual, farmers should not for
get the lessons they have learned in
the past few years in regard to diver
siiying crops and methods OF boil
weevil control One of the most eff
fectve preventive measures is to plow
the cotton stalks under before the
weevils go into Information. Don't de
lay; do it now.
