William Pitts Advice
to Plant Trees Was Fit

The Aurora (Ill.) Beacon News says
William Penn advised the colonists to
plant trees in one acre in every five.
When he said it the country was
woods and not much else, and Penn's
advice sounded foolish.
But today we have S1,000,000 acres
of idle land in the United States, most
of it east of the Mississippi river, and
are confronted with shortage In tim

today is in the Rocky mountain coun-
try. For the eastern states that means

Ohio Flocks Increased
EGG Production in 1926

The average production of the poul-
try demonstration flocks in Ohio has
increased from 81 eggs for the first
nine months Of 1925 to Ill eggs per
hen for the past nine months of this
poultry year.
Flock owners cooperating in this
project of the Ohio State university
agree to keep cost and production rec
ords. Specialists from the university
help the owners to keep their flocks in
best possible condition. These flocks
serve as practical demonstrations of
what proper methods and care will do.
Demonstration fiocks are expected to
double the state average production
per hen this year. Last year the aver
age hen in the state produced 20 eggs
each, while the demonstration flocks
averaged 1873 eggs each.

\ alue of Lime Learned
by Progressive Farmers

We. cannot grow legumes success
fully without the use of lime, and we
cannot improve our farm lands to any
great extent without legumes. Fur
thermore, legume crops, besides draw
ing nitrogen from the air and storing
1t in soils for the benefit of other
crops, and supplying organic matter
which is necessary to enrich the land,
furnish the very best feed for live
stock.

country is a rich country 1t is al

can be made limestone soil by ah-
plications of pulverized limestone, and
for this reason the use of lime is on,
the increase in all lime-lean sections

Factors Fixing
Price Of Hogs
Pre- ent and Prospective Sup
plies Are Among Domi-
nant Influences.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture)
Financial returns hog producers
depend to considerable extent upon
how well they adjust the volume Of
their production to the demand for
the product, declares. the Department
of Agriculture as result of study
of the factors that affect hog prices.
The dominant influences in the hog
market, says the department. are the
supply of hogs on the market and ex-
pected to arrive on the market within
the next few months, the quantity of
hog products in storage, the general
price level. general business condi-
tons, and the prices of alternative
products. The general levels of de-
mand, here and abroad, are both i'm
portant, but ordinarily change only
slowly.
Hog-Price Cycle.
The so-called "hog-price cycle" was
found by the department to be due to
the tendency of hog producers to ovec-
shoot the mark in increasing produc-
ton when the relation of hog prices
to corn prices was favorable, and to
reduce too much wheE it was unfavOr
able. This excessive reaction, says
the department, resulted from the ac-
emulation of production changes DUR
ing the interval before reduced or in
creased breeding began to Offset mar
ket receipts and prices.
Coupling the corn-hog ratio, indicat-
ing what changes were likely to occur
in breeding, with other factors indi-
eating changes in the weight of hogs
and the demands of the consumers,
the department believes that very
good forecasts of hog prices could
have been made for the prewar period.
Since the war. however, conditions
have been so unstable that the purely
mathematical formula has not given
such satisfactory results.
information From Surveys.
The department believes that its
pig surveys have provided the hog
market with much better information
as to prospective supplies than were
available before the World war, while
the agricultural outlook reports Of the
department and similar information
from other sources may be tending to
change farmers reactions.
Full details of the study have been
published in Department Bulletin
1440-D, entitled Factors Affecting the
Price of Hogs" copies of which may
be obtained from the Department Of
Agriculture. Washington, D. c.

PREMIER MAY SEE U. s.
Bearing on Strained British-U. S. Re-

BY EDWARD PRICE BELL.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
Stanley Baldwin, prime minister Of
Great Britain in 1923 and since 1924,
today begins visit to Canada. with
the probability Of at least a glimpse
of the United States. having crossed
the Atlantic as a fellow passenger of
the Prince Of Wales.
Mr.. Baldwin's presence in the New
World seems to make especially per-
tinent some observations on British
American relations as affected by the
three-power naval conference at
Geneva.
In 1923 the writer talked with Mr..
Baldwin In Downing street. Respect
ing the possibility of dangerous clashes
between Britain and America-clashes
resulting from the very maSsiveness or
their preparations in the wOrld-Mr.
Baldwin said:
1--WE must not allow them. Nobody
can afford them-neither ourselves,
nor others"
Relations Often Strained.
Clearly, then, whoever IN Great
Britain or elsewhere contrives to dam
age trustful and non-Warlike relations
between England and America, will
be working at cross-purposes with
the distinguished political visitor who
arrived in Canada today
1t is we'll that influential men de-
voted to improving British-American
relations should be active on both
sides Of the water.
These relations have suffered con
tinual strains since the World War.
Americas abrupt withdrawal from
Europe after the armistice, the Sen

British-American pact for security of
the French frontier. our keeping out
of the League Of Nations and the

activities of the lieutenant in a Navy
Curtiss Hawk fighting plane which
were under way today. Rear Admiral
Richard II. Leigh. chief of the Blu

vision the case is being handled, said
today that no formal court of inquiry
would be held, but that board of
investigation, clothed with the same
authority as an inquiry court. was

Addressing her followers from the
pulpit last night, the woman evange.
list, who has been wrapped up in a
controversy with Mrs. Kennedy, ousted
business manager of the temple, re-
fused to submit to the demand of the
branch churches by declaring the dis.

At the same time she announced
that the courts would not be resorted

Mrs. Kennedy, she said, had agreed

The bone Of contention is whether
Emma Schaffer, secretary, companion

owns the church and it's holdings,
valued at several hundred thousand
dollars. Mrs. Mcpherson contends
Miss Schaffer is a trustee. Her mother
holds that she and the evangelist are

is one of the trustees.
The membership meeting failed to
clear definitely the question Of Mrs.
McPherson's future relationship with
the temple. The evangelist first had
declared that she intended to give up
the pastorate, perhaps within three
weeks, and later said she intended to
remain in control with an associate
pastor in charge, while she carried on
her plan for a worldwide evangelist
movement.
