GERMAN FIRMS
FORCED TO MERGE
Three Concerns Unite in
Order to Meet Foreign
Competition.
BY the Associated Press.


BERLIN. September "A sensa-
ton has been caused in commercial
and financial circles by the amalga-
nation of three large German oil
firms OF Deutsche Erdoel. Limited;
Deutsche Petroleum. Ltd, and
Ruetgers Werke. Ltd. These concerns
had been engag ged in bitter fight. and
all previous attempts, covering a
period of years. failed to bring them
together.
Now the Deutsche Petroleum Co
will take over the petroleum interests
of the other two concerns, and for this
purpose the directors at their next
general meeting will propose that the
company's capital be increased from
"a, 900, 900 to 81, 200, 900 marks.
The pressure of foreign competition
is said to have finally broken down
the barriers and compelled the three
hostile companies to fuse as a matter
OF protection. The Standard Oil
and Royal Dutch interests, by virtue
OF less expensive sales and distribution
organization, were able to outbid the
German companies and force to the
wall number of mushroom concerns
which sprang up in the war time.
Fearing a similar fate, the three
largest and oldest concerns concluded
their pact. Their individual coal in
terests and production of oil from
Ignite are unaffected by the deal, but
all their direct oil production in Ger
many, importation of oil from abroad
and sales and distribution organiza-
tions are to be combined.
The fusion will bring about a great
reduction in overhead charges.

Plantabb each week will do for your

what Plantabbs do for your ferns is
exactly what they viii also do for

Ten Thousand Women Are
Engaged in Farming in State
Dairying, Poultry and Hog Raising
Are Specialties-Operate Farms
Valued at $9O,OOO,0OO

Minnesota boasts $1,000 lady farm
ers, according to data analysed by
the Blue Valley Creamery Institute.
Of this number over 5000 operate
farms, 5000 their own, II as man.
ayers and not quite 400 as tenants,
the data disclosed.
Dairying, poultry and hog raising
are some of the branches of agricul--
ture in which the women farmers of.
the state specialize, the analysis re-.
vealed. The land under cultivation.
by the feminine agriculturists is close
to $4,000 acres, of which $4,000
acres are improved. The value of
these farms is $90,00O,000. The fig
ures further revealed that women cul-
tivate 81 per cent of all farms in.
the state and 2.8 per cent OF the
total acreage, the value being Fl
per cent of the whole.
Commenting on the large percent
age ofswomen who go in for dairying
and poultry raising, the Institute sees
a peculiar adaptation OF these Oc-
equations to the feminine nature.
From early times, it says, the aver
age farm woman has had to care for
the milk and act as dairymaid, too.
And milking cows and selling butter
fat with it's requirements of close at
tention to details seems to be type
of work that woman naturally takes
to. The same appears to hold true
for poultry raising. For pin money
for the thousand and one items need
ed in the home, the sale of eggs and
poultry and cream has ever been
known as sure means. Many a
woman in need of more money has
almost instinctively turned to milking
cows and keeping hens.
