NEW YORK, August 13.-Opera-
tons for the rise on the Curb Market
had to face the severe test today OF
the raising of the New York Federal
Reserve rediscount rate from 3la to
per cent. Recent developments in
the money situation had indicated
that the reserve bank directors might
act upon an increase, but the decision
Thursday to bring the rate into line
with other regional institutions proved
not to have been fully discounted in
the speculative market, and selling
naturally made itself felt throughout
the greater part Of todays trading.
Declaration of a SO per cent stock
dividend by directors of the General
Motors Corporation eliminated one of
the most bullish factors upon which
a good deal of the recent speculation
for the rise had been based. With
this good news now out, the way was
opened for efforts to bring about fur

Farmers Asked to
Order PyrOtOl Early

Pyrotol to be used in Minnesota the
spring of 1926 should be ordered
now, says A. J. Schwantes, who is in
charge of the land clearing depart
ment of the university.
Mr.. Schwantes explains that Min
nesota received an allotment of three
million pounds of pyrotol for the fis-
cal year ending June 80, 1926. Up
to FEBRUARY l only $4,000 pounds
had been ordered. If the three. mil
lion pounds are not sold by June 30,
the balance will be taken back by the
government and a new allotment
made for the following year. AS the
size of new allotments usually is
based on the previous years consum-
ption, Minnesota farmers must use
up this years allotment in order to
be insured a substantial amount for
the next fiscal year.
"The supply of war salvaged explo
sive will be exhausted in the near fu-
ture," says Mr.. Schwantes. ''To be

able to purchase it at from one-
fourth to one-half the price of COM
mercial dynamite is a rare opport-
unity for every farmer who has use
for such material. Cheap pyrotol
makes possible the development of
waste lands at a goodly saving in
costs.
''For these reasons Minnesota
farmers should purchase pyrotol free
ly while it is available. If they do not
buy it farmers in some other state
will"
Mr.. Schwantes says that word from
Washington indicates that the usual
spring rush at the cartridging plant
at Barksdale, Wisconsin will be great
er than ever this year. March and
April are the busy months. And or
ders which can be placed for ship
ment in February or early March
will avoid this rush. Early ordering
will mean, too, that the material will
be on hand when it is wanted in the
early spring.
All orders should be sent to Divis-
ion of Agricultural Engineering, Uni

POULTRY ADVICE

A well mated breeding pen as the
source of the 1926 Matching eggs is
one of the best ways of improving the
farm poultry flock. The individual
hens in the pen should be the most
vigorous hens Of the flock, they should
conform as nearly as possible to the
standards of their breed, and they
should be good egg producers. The
male bird with the pen should be a
better individual than the hens, should
come from hens that are known to be
high egg producers, and should not

tension service in Nebraska, have fol-
lowed this practice for the past four
years and some of them have increas-
ed the average egg production o.

tion ago was due principally to the alb
sence Of the urge which comes from
great necessity.
The soil Of the United States as it
existed 80 years ago was rich from
the deposits of recently cut forests.
Lumber was cheap and plentiful, water
supply abundant and uncontaminated,
there were hundreds of thousands Of
square miles of free range for cattle
and live stock while inland streams and
the woods were alive with edible fish
and game Food and shelter for man
and beast were easily supplied, and the
thousand other wants, as we know
them today, did not exist.
Nothing lasts forever, not even the
natural resources of a country as great
as this, and quarter of a century ago
substitutes began to be sought out.
Soil began to lose its great surplus Of
native fertility and chemists set to
work to determine the missing ingredi-
ents and students began to search out
sources from which the deficiency could
be supplied Some began to see that
lumber was mounting in price and that
forests, unprotected, would not last
forever The result was that substi-
tutes for wood were sought and means
devised for granting a longer life to
the timber going into construction.
Brick began to be used more extensive
ly for construction, and slate and com
position material supplanted wooden
shingles on the roof.
Similar changes came about in food
supplies for man and beast. Neglected,
or ignored, sources were called upon,
the outstanding discovery being that
many common vegetable sources would
yield needed oils and fats previously
supplied by meat animals.
Each invention seems to bring into
use some new product or force, which
has been dormant or wasted down
through the ages, while conservation
and salvage of waste are continuing
most Of the old resources. Each dis
covery seems to be but a challenge to
some other line of research. The
twentieth century realizes that we are
only scratching the surface of the pos
sibilities which lie beneath the sea and
the mountain. Discovery is going
ahead SO fast that the next generation
may look back on this as an age of
crude Instruments and limited dis
covery. All the straws now blowing
point that way at least.
