YWNHE North Atlantic ocean has
been called 1.-THE great heat
u regulator" by Lieutenant
Edward H. Smith, ofs'bhe coast
guard. This year something has
raised its waters to an uncom-
monty high temperature. The
Grand Bank of Nowfoundland,
which covers $4,000 square miles,
of water, averaging only a little
over 200 feet depth, is like a great
thermometer, or heat gauge, be-
cause of its peculiar situation
which renders it free from the
intrusion of water from the cur
rents Of the main ocean during
the fall and winter, from Septem-
Der until March. During all that
time it is a kind of reservoir,
whose temperature slowly sinks
until 1t is uniform from top to
bottom.
This state Of uniformity Is at.
tanned about the first Of March,
and the temperature shown then
serves as an indication Of the
relative severity or mildness Of
the winter just passed. Nor

this thermometer is chilled by
the cold blasts from Canada to 4
temperature Of 1892 degrees Fab.
renheit, but this year the spring
temperature of 1892 degrees Fab
seven degrees above normal.
When we stop to consider that 1t
takes approximately $500 times
as much heat to raise a given
volume of water one degree as 1t
does a similar quantity Of air, we
can realize the tremendous
amount Of heat reserve the Grand
Bank possesses this year"
A striking result Of this in
crease of temperature, which
everybody who travels in trans
Atlantic ships NAV we'll have
given thanks for, has been the
absence sNof icebergs during the
past spring and early summer
In this respect this year is with
out parallel in the records of the
coast guard.
Instead of the average of 35e
bergs floating south of Newfound
land in the months Of April, May
and June. only seven had been
counted up to May 4, at which
time there was not one!

EXPERIMENTS REPORTED
Feeding Trials Experiment Is
Conducted at Great Plains
Station, Mandan

Fargo, N. D., June Cattle graz
ing on the prairies of the plains
states like their feed Favored and
nature provides it by furnishing
more than 200 species of plants
which flavor the food of the steer
or dairy COW.
Of the more than $50 species of
plants at. the Northern Great Plains
field station at Mandan, less than
dozen play an important role of
supply grazing needs, says Profess
sor j. H. Shepherd of the North Da-
kota Agricultural college, who is
representing the college in the ex-
detrimental work done in the pas
lures of this station.
The four species of grasses that
do most toward putting growth
and meat on the steers are needle
grass, niger wool, western prairie
sedge, and blue gamma grass. The
other 246 species serve to supply a
variety of flavors to grazing cattle
and may have some value as appe-
Tiers in addition to the nourishment
which they supply.
One species serves the same pur-
pose which red signal does to the
engineer of railway locomotive.
This species, known as pasture sage,
waves it's graceful, silvery branches
in every over-grazed pasture as a
danger signal to the owner that the
grass is getting too short.
Blue gamma grass, which consti-
tutes one-third of the grass popula-
ton of the pasture, responds to fire.
quent clippings better than any
other species while needle grass is
killed by close clipping at intervals
of 10 days. Needle grass constitutes
one-sixth of the growth in the pas
lures. In the pastures that have
been over-grazed the needle grass
supply is being greatly reduced.
Feeding Trials
In the Mandan feeding trials ;
rotated system of pasturage ha:
been used and for this purpose the
| fields have been divided into various
pastures of the following sizes: >ont
3O-acre, one. 50-acre, one 70-acrt
and one 100-acre. Each of these
pastures has been grazed by II
standard weight two-year old steer:

hire experts to conduct the business
and like all other employees are sub
ject to being fired for sufficient
cause, or otherwise.
Financing
In order to make advances to
growers at the time of delivery
money must be borrowed, with the
wheat tickets as collateral, until
such time as the wheat has been sold.
These loans are secured from inter-
Tor banks in some instances, from
banks at the terminal points, but
largely from the intermediate Gre
dit bank of St. Paul.
The storage receipts represent the
very highest quality security and
therefore money can be loaned al
very low rates of interest. The fact
that the storage receipts of the

citation are protected by a blanket
bond issued by the Hartford Sure

BANKERS BACK
POOL MOVEMENT
Orderly Marketing Means Or
derby Finance and Stable
Credits

The Standard marketing con-
tract has the endorsement of banks
everywhere. The American Bank
ers' Association and a dozen state
bankers associations have encour-
aged cooperative marketing by
spcial resolutions. Their members
have aided in scores of cases.
The War Finance Corporation
has extended credits of more than
$3.50, 100000 to associations oper-
ating under the standard market
ing contract. The story of the help
which Kentucky bankers give the
tobacco growers reads like a novel
of adventure. Those farmers pur-
chased $7,OOO,OOO worth of ware
houses in ten days, without calling
on members for a single penny,
They were able to"borrOw all they
needed.
The president Of the largest bank
in Kentucky, James Brown, declar-
ed that he would lend the legal
limit of the bank. Judge r. w.
Bingham subscribed $1;OO0,OOO and
several county banks offered to lend
the legal limit of their resources.
From that moment, it took two
stenographers to take the sub
scriptions to- the warehouse loan.

reports, as it is not large enough to
carry the cattle for five months.
THE 50-acre pasture" he says,
"grazed at the rate Of five acres to
the steer, is not large enough to
allow the cattle to make maximum
gains per head. This pasture also
is overgrazed. The 7O-acre pasture,
grazed at the rate of one steer to
seven acres, provides approximately
the area of land required to produce
maximum gains per head, while the
lOO-acre pasture allows more feed
than is necessary for the ten cattle
pastured upon it.
"The system Of deferred and ro-
tated grazing allows for periods in
which part of the land nay be rest
ed while the cattle are eating the
grasses in the other pastures"
Under such "a system Mr.. Shop
perd has efound that between four
and five acres is required as graz
ing for the average steer and that
this amount and system allows the
maximum use of the pasture grasses
without the injury to the pasture
that would result from overgrazing.
! Pastures are hurt, Mr.. Shepherd
says, by too early grazing in spring,
by too continuous grazing and by
overgrazing, all features which can
be controlled.
The Experiment
An interesting joint in the expert
ment, according to Mr.. Shepperd, is
the difference between the distances
walked by the steers in the various
| pastures. In the 30-acre pasture and
the 7O-acre pasture the steers aver
aged one and five-eighths mile
walk per day; in the 5O-acre pasture
two and one-fourth miles per day;
In the lOO-acre pasture each steer
walked an average Of three and one
sixteenth miles per day. Young
stock cattle in a 640-acre pasture
near Youngstown travelled five and
ne-half miles per day.
The total gain per acre has been
highest in the rotation pasture. In
the rotation pasture the grass is al
lowed to make it's full growth during
a portion of the seasons before it is
grazcd down, which seems to add its
vigor and for that reason to the
quantity of forage which its sup.
plies.
The quantity of the foliage cover
annually removed by grazing varies
on the average from 81 per cent in
the 1OO-acre pasture to 50 per cent
IN the 3O-acre pasture. In order to
avoid injury to the vegetation under
a system Of continuous grazing, from
10 to 20 per cent of the foliage cover
must remain on the pasture at the
close of the grazing season. A great.
er utilization of it may be made un.
der the system of deferred and ro
taton grazing.
The Mandan pasture will be visit
cd June 10 by stockmen and farm.
ers who are making the tour through
the grazing trial.

Grain Exchanges
Are Affected

The campaign for the or
ganization of the wheat pools
is beginning to have its effect
on the grain markets. Board
of Trade men have persistently
denied that cooperative mar
keting can affect the price
levels Of wheat, but the follow
ing quotation from the market
page of the Chicago Tribune
Contradicts the Board OF Trade
attitude. 1t is written by
Charles Michaels, for many
years a grain trade reporter
He says: "Co-operative mar
keting is having its effect on
wheat values, although few
traders realize this. They
know that the market run does
not act in accord with the gen
eral run Of news as in recent
years, and those who have
analysed the situation closely
are convinced that there is an
invisible influence which is at
tributed to the operations of
the various cooperative farm
ers' associations.

They finished with $5,000,00O and
only needed $3,OOO.OOO.

They finished with $5,00O,OOO and
only needed 100000.
California banks have rendered
the same kind Of support to CO.
operative associations. John S.
Drum, president of the Mercantile
Trust Company of California,
said: eve have from time to- time
provided total of many millions
of dollars to finance activities of
cooperative marketing associa-
TONS" ...-...-
The National City Bank of New
York sent enc of its, vice-presidents
! to meet the leaders of California
co-operatives. His errand was not
to get the associations account;
he went only to ask them to borrow
from the National City Bank in
stead of from the War Finance
Corporation. .-
The banks of the South support
the cotton growers associations
just as strongly. After the war
Finance Corporation agreed to loan
millions of dollars to help the cot
| ton growers associations, southern
bankers made the loan unnecessary
by furnishing the money them
selves.
One of the first reasons for sup
port, of pool associations by bank
ers' is that their crop mortgages
are made safer. Co-operatives
rule that crop mortgages are prior
liens and protect them rigidly, re-
hitting directly to- the bankers his
equity in the crop.
| Another reason bankers strong
| ly endorse cooperative marketing,
| is that it increases deposits. The
average price that all farmers get
is better whether they are members
of the association or not, and what
ever means more money for the
community, means more money for
the banker.
The orderly marketing system
'orderly finance and that means
greater stability in the credit sys-
tenn. 1t avoids the ups and downs
which hurt the banks as much as
they hurt the farmer.
Orderly marketing puts more
money into the hands Of more peo-
pie. Profits go down to the farm.
er instead of to the speculator. In
other words, there is division OF
returns over a larger number OF
people and consequently more buy
ing. All of this means increased
business to merchants and bankers
and explains their unlimited sup.
port.

INDIANS PLAY TEAM
UNBEATEN IN LAST
TWO YEARS OF PLAY
Texas Military College
Comes Here With Un-
broken Record.

The Texas Military College baseball
team of Terrell. which will play the
undefeated Alamo-Peck Indians at
Schwab Field Saturday afternoon, has
one Of the most enviable records made
by any college team in Texas for a
number of years.
Last season the team went through
an undefeated season. winning nine
teen straight games. This season they
have won five games and tied one.
Four games this season have been
rained out.
The record of the Texas Military
College team was made in the Texas
Junior College Athletic Conference,
composed of such schools as John Tar
Teton Agricultural College Of Stephen
vile, North Texas Junior A. and NJ.
of Arlington. Burleson College and
Wesley College of Greenville, Alexan-
der College of Jacksonville, Claren-
don College, Decatur College and some
Others of minor strength.
All of the teams in this conference
rank above the university freshmen of
any college or university in the South
western Conference. An attempt was
made to schedule games this season
with the Baylor University Bears and
the Southern Methodist University
Mustangs but each refused to play the
Texas College boys, declaring that
they had everything to lose and moth
ing to gain by playing them.
Probably one of the most impress
sive feats the team has performed this
year aside from winning all five of
its games. is a 13-inning tie game
played with the Victory Wilson team
of Dallas which last season tied the
AlGmo-Peck Indians in a series in
San ALtcnio.
