ADVERSELY A STIMULANT
TO GOOD FARMING

An interesting experience is told by
Dean Dodson. OF a Louisiana farmer
who was just about breaking even in
growing cotton. One day his wife fell
seriously Ill and was obliged to go to
the hospital. A little later his daugh-
ter was also taken to the hospital.
Before he was through with this ex-
perience he was confronted with a
bill for $4,000. What was he TO do?
Like a good business man he be-
gan to figure how he might increase
his income and cut down his ex-
penses. He had few cows that he
kept for raising calves. He started
to milk these and sell the product.
He had some Gull potatoes that were
unstable. He fed these 10 his cows
and some pigs which he was able to
buy right Other waste products were
utilized in the same manner. In the
garden he had more turnips than he
needed for his own use. These he
sorted, selling the best and feeding
the poor ones. He consulted with his
merchants as to what garden crops
he might prottably grow for the local
market.
He figured that he had some idle
land that he might use in growing
grain and hay He enlarged his flock
Of poultry and took better care of II.
He was more careful in the use Of
his auto and saved a considerable
sum that ordinarily went for gasoline.
BY taking advantage OF the increased
sources OF income and by cutting out
unnecessary expenses he was able by
the end OF the year to pay off his hos
pitai bin. and In the meantime had
discovered the secret OF sound and
successful farming. -Banker-F arner.

FORCING LOWER TAXES

Gerard B. Winston. Undersecretary
OF the Treasury In the American
Bankers Association Journal says.
The burden Of taxes must be light
ened. Per capita Federal taxes rose
from 1872 In 1918 to S54 In 1920, then
commenced to drop, and have been
successfully s4s, $50. s2S. sz9 in the
last four fiscal years. 1t lis estimated
that for the next fiscal year the fg-.
ure will be about SGT. With the
states and municipalities the opposite
tendency is disclosed. In 1918 their
per capita tax was something over
$50 Ia the next four years II rose
to SGT. $50. ss6. s3S. and later figures
win undoubtedly show further in.

II Federal and state governments
take more than the particular source

mately destroy all revenue from that
source. After man has provided

STORE CREDIT COSTS 2e PER
CENT.

In a survey OF 500 farms made by
the North Carolina Experiment Sta
ton, 1t was found that over 40 per
cent OF the total credit needs for the
farmer is for short term loaGs, either
through the bank or through merchant
advances. Only one-sixth Of this
amount comes from banks and the
rest from stores or landlords. For
store credit farmers are paying over
rs per cent interest, and only little
better than half OF the farmers real.
lied this fact The bank rate OF In
terest at the same time was only a
trifle above per cent. Practically
all merchants would be delighted to
go over TO a cash basis.
The remedy lies In the production
OF more food and feed and In the dis
continuance Of shipping N hay and
grain with their attendant high freight
rates and dealers profits. This means
the establishment OF better working
relations between bankers and farm
ers, for there is great opportunity for
educating the farmer along the line of
bank credit.-Bdnker-F Farmer.

are always acceptable, but there is
new dress that will charm both
mother and daughter. This is useful,

In the older dresses. 1t is made with
the inevitable tight bodice and full

of different tone chiffon. The dress
is made of large mesh silk net in color

wool design outlined by a metallic
thread. Ii is especially effective in
tones of red browns with gold thread,
or blue greens with silver. 1t has the
dignity and formality of matrons
dress, thereby finding favor in the eyes
of the youngster who loves to imi-
tate her elders, and at the same time
1t is youthful enough to satisfy the
most critical person. Plain soft vel

young girl, and if properly chosen they
are very effective.

Excellent Reasons for
This Trees Popularity

The common elder, which flowers in
the last days Of May, is one Of the
commonest of English trees, but for
so many centuries has it been planted
by man for official purposes-certain-
ly before the Romans came to Britain
that its natural" habitat Is now
only q matter OF conjecture. 1t has a
variety Of curious country names,

stem. Such are "bothery tree and
"whusselwood," the tree being favor
fte one with urchins for the manufac-

rightly belongs to Sambucinus sill
quastre, a southern European species.
Elder drives away evil spirits, and is
a charm against lightning. Rubbed on
the eyes it enables one to detect
witches. Elder cures toothache, warts
and dropsy, and is used for poultices

Oasis in Sahara
That Is Productive

The oasis Of Adrar is in the western
part of the Sahara desert in North
Africa, east of the Spanish possession
of Rio de Orc, of which it formerly
constituted a part. A considerable
portion Of its 10000 square miles is
fertile land on which dates and grain
grow. Ostriches are raised for their
feathers and salt is mined. Due to
its position on the caravan route OF
Morocco It is Of considerable impor-
lance. The inhabitants are for the
most part Berbers, says the Dearborn
Independent.
An immense sys .em~ of subterranean
aqueducts. whose origin is lost In an
tiquity, supplies the oasis with water.
Not even the legends Of the most an
cient native tribes contain history of
their beginning. Adrar lies at the bot
tom of natural depression that a
marvellous irrigation system connects
with reservoirs feeding the surround
ing plains at higher elevation. The
natives with no better implements
than rude scoops and picks have dug,
at a depth of from $50 to 200 feet be
low the surface Of the desert, spa
cious tunnels that extend for miles.
It rains but once in ten years at any
given point in the Sahara, and this
sparse rainfall is conserved by collect
ing the ground moisture from great
expanSe OF territory at Adrar.

Ship Signals

Ships at sea have a language" of
their own when they wish to converse
with or signal to another. Nearly all
big steamers carry wireless installa-
ton, but in addition, every vessel of
this type is provided with steam
whistle or siren, observation-disclosures
ated fog-horn and bell. Sailing ships
are obliged to have both mechanical
fog-horn and a bell before they are
allowed to enter or leave port. When
ships pass one another at sea certain
ceremonies are observed. Thus,
merchant vessel meeting warship is
expected to dip her flag in salute, a
courtesy acknowledged by the naval
commander in a similar manner. Lin
ers are generally saluted by "tramps,"
while when one liner meets another
the junior captain dips his house Dag

Attracting Moths

A well known collector of moths,
whose stock is considered as replete
with specimens Of many kinds, uses
his motor car lights to attract these
lovers of light and bring them into his
possession. He sh.,ots the strong beams
right across the valley just as dusk
is appearing. The beams attract the
flying visitors, who follow them to
their source. Being an enthusiastic
horticulturist, as well as entomologist,
he has a well cultivated garden, and
this just now is mass Of bloom. The
flowers are proving most attractive,
and the moths ere making perfect
home in their midst. This student Is
hopeful that when the chrysalides de-
velop he will not have missed single
new specimen in the valley.
