FARMING and FINANCE

The total value of agricultural ex-
ports for the five months, July to No
vember, 1924, were $976,OOO 900, as
compared with
FARM EXPORTS $756,OOO,OOO for the
UP 5000 same period year
ago. The encourag
ing gain of around 300 is partly due
to increased volume of goods being
shipped abroad, and partly due to
higher prices. Cotton exports for
these five months in 1924 amounted
to 100000 bales valued at $459, ,OOO,-
600 according to the Department OF
Agriculture. Last year for the same
period export of 2,76O,0OO bales
brought return of 1899, ZOO, 900. Elk
ports of wheat for this period of 1924
amounted to 26,5OO,OOO bushels as
against 51,sOO,OOO bushels last year
Flour exports were smaller than a
of wheat and flour for this year and
last we find an income of 1925, 500 900
this year against S97 400,00 last
While the active foreign demand of
this year cannot be depended on for
a steady market for this volume of
grain, it is decidedly encouraging to
note that the farmers sales abroad
this year are much nearer to normal
than they have been at any time
since the war %,

Ashbaugh Uncovers
Valuable Papers

On the night of December 3rd the
safe of the Delta Elevator was tamp-
cred with and relieved of a box con-
tanning some valuable papers. The
company offered a reward of $40 for
the return of the box and contents.
One day last week, as C. D. Ash
baugh was going to work in the rail
road yards he found the box hidden
under a culvert near the elevator.
The papers were considerably dam
aged by the snow but many are just
as useful as ever.

Cotton overproduction in 1925 is a

creased acreage. It is estimated that
the boil weavil destroyed about a
billion and a half dollars worth of
cotton this year. The cotton farmer,
however, is learning more and more
about the boil weavil and the meth
DDS of control. He knows how to cul-
tivate and select his seed so as to
produce an early maturing crop. Some
sections are planning an arplane
busting of boil weavil poison The
control of the pest Is also largely de.
pendent upon the weather conditions.
With the knowledge of the boil weavil
which the cotton farmer has today.
and with favorable weather conditions
it is possible that the ravages Of the
weavil might be cut 25e5 or more.
This possibility, together with the in.
dications of increased acreage, and
the large world crop this year make
the danger Of over production in 1925
a possibility.
