A LITTLE TALK ON THRIFT
(By S. w. STRAUS)

We hear a great deal about saving
for the rainy day. This is laudable
We do not hear enough about saving
for the sunshiny day saving in the
midst of poverty for the prosperity
and success that are bound to come to
those who practice thrift.
Here is a story that will illustrate
the point: A certain young man and
his bride, Immediately after their
marriage, moved to a farm where he
received S24O a year, house to live
in, a garden plot and free milk. The
first year they saved $3.50. For seven
years the couple remained on the
farm, adding steadily to their saw
ings. Then they moved to a nearby
city where he secured employment in
a factory. In due time his thrift and
industry brought him to the special
attention of his employers, greater
responsibilities were placed on his
shoulders, and he began to move up.
Today he is at the head of one of
Americas greatest businesses.
Saving even of very small amounts
will bring results entirely out of Fro
portion to the sums laid by, and these
small amounts in the course of few
years will grow to tidy sums which
will then be ready when opportunity
comes.
But what is of still greater impor-
lance is the mental and moral discip-
line which comes with saving money
at a period in ones life when such
These are the processes that build
character. +
If there is magic anywhere in the
development of possessions. it lies in
the poor mans savings.

ASPEN LAND CAN BE
USED GOOD ACCOUNT

Study of the Possibilities of aspen
lands has been an active major pro-
ject of the Lake States Forest Expert
ment Station having headquarters at
University Farm. Results and con-
illusions are outlined in the recent re-
port of officials ofthe station to the
advisory committee.
The aspen, or pOpple type as 1t is
better known, occupies about Fl mil
lion acres of the\ area of forest land
in the lake states of Minnesota, Mich
igan, and Wisconsin. Aspen of mer-
charitable size is estimated at 80 mil
lion cords on four million acres, leav-
ing II million acres of small growth.
Aspen is growing at the rate of one
quarter and one-half a cord per acre
every year. The amount is therefore
lion cords year.
AS compared with this tremendous
growth the present consumption of
aspen in the lake states, says the re-
port, is only around 100000 cords a
year. Consumption may be increased
somewhat, particularly for paper pulp,
but there is no reason to believe that
the amount used will be more than a
small fraction of the natural growth
each year.
Foresters of the station staff say
this aspen land problem can be solved
in time by finding new uses for aspen,
by the natural conversion of the aspen
to pine, spruce or other kinds of trees,
and by reforestation by seeding or
planting "Reforestation may be ac-
complished by planting white pine and
white spruce" they say. '."These two
species are we'll adapted to the good
soils on which the aspen grows. They
grow well, although slowly, under the
aspen stands, and will increase in
growth when the aspen dies out"

PLEA FOR HIGHWAY
WORKERS SAFETY
MADE BY BABCOCK

A series of accidents to men who
work on the roads has led C. M. Bah
cock, commissioner of highways, to ap-
peal to all motorists to be careful in
meeting or passing road machinery
or men working.
This appeal has the welfare of both
the road workers and the public in
mind, for with the heavier motorized
road machinery now being used on
many of the highways, the occupants
of an ordinary passenger car hitting
one of these machines are likely to
get much the worst of it.
Men driving horse drawn graders,
which are still in use on part of the
system, and men working with shOyels
or tar kettles on the highway are en-
tirely at the mercy of passing ma
chimes. If they were to get off the
road for every passing machine they
would get no work done, and if they
stay on the road depending, on all driv-
ers to slow up and turn out, they
are risking their lives every minute
they are working on the road.
There is one safe rule which will
prevent not only collisions with road
workers, but IS per cent of all other
accidents, and that is to Keep your
car under control at all times so you
can stop in the clear space ahead"

Proper Matching Dates
Boost Winter Laying

A good deal of the trouble with
pullets dropping off in production in
| the fall may be prevented by hatch
ing the chicks at the proper time in
the spring. So observations by the
poultry department of the New Jer-
sey College of Agriculture show.
1t is a good plan to hatch from one
quarter to One-third of the flock of
LeghOrns between January 10 and
March l, so that these birds will start
laying in the summer and maintain
production when the adult birds are
failing. During the month of March
and as late as April Is any of the
heavy breeds may be Matched. From
April Is until May Is the bulk of the
Leghorn flock may be Matched; they
will start laying about November 1
and ought to continue through the
winter and spring.
J If lights are used many of the
earlier-hatched birds also can be kept
from molting in the fail, but the dates
given here are for flOcks where lights
are not used. Such schedule. how
ever, will work out satisfactorily
either with or without lights, but if
the birds are not under lights then
this schedule must be followed to pre-
vent fall mOlting. Birds that mott
and then begin to lay again are SUBJ
ject to colds, chicken pox, and other
complications, so IL is wise To have
them start laying at such time that
their production will not be interfered

Grade Crossing Death
Rate in Minnesota is
Half Nations Average

Grade crossing accidents took only
half as many lives in Minnesota in
1927, in proportion to the number of
automobiles, as they did throughout
the nation. The total number killed
in the United States was 1911, or
1.02 for every 10000 cars. Crossing
fatalities in Minnesota were 35, or ga
per 10000 cars. Louisiana was high
est with 3.02 fatalities for each 49,
900 cars.
This good record is made in spite
of the fact that Minnesota has SILT
unprotected grade crossings, only four
states, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania
and Texas, having a higher number.
But the number would be still greater
if it were not for the state highway
department and the state railroad
commission. The highway depart
ment has reduced the number of grade
crossings on the trunk highways from
LOLA to 623 in six years, and ar
ranged for protection or provided
sight distance at many of those re-
naming. The railroad commission
has arranged for closing many cross
ings on city streets and local roads
and diverting traffic to protected
crossings. and has marked all danger
Gus crossings with the official "stop"
signs.
The 2,371 fatalities in 1927 include
all crossing collisions. Collisions
with automobiles resulted in 1874
deaths, the others being pedestrians
or occupants of wagons hit by trains.
In Minnesota 81 of the 35 killed were
automobile passengers.

Big Crops Cost
More to Market
Distributing Channels Take
More on Each Bushel
Than for Small One.

1t costs more to market each bushel
OF a large crop of corn or potatoes
or apples than it does to market a
small crop. In years when crop Is
large the spread between prices in
producing centers and consuming
centers is more than when the crop
is small. says Dr.. G. F. Warren agri-
cultural economist at the State Col.
lege of Agriculture at Ithaca. N. Y.
More for Large Crop.
"One would assume that a large
crop could be passed through the
channels of trade at less cost for each
bushel than small crop" he says
'"This may be true, but the distribut
ing channels take more cents for each
bushel for large crop than for a
small one.
'When there is very large crop
the price in the producing area which
of course, has surplus goes down
and this increases the spread between
farm and retail prices. This differ
ence is also apparent in a comparison
Of farm prices In regions WHICH do
not produce enough for their own
needs with regions that have sur
pluSes.
IAN average of several years when
the cOuntry's apple crop was below
normal, shows that farm prices of ap-
Piles in Rhode Island were % cents
above New York farm prices; while
an average of several surplus years
shows that this difference increased
to % cents. In large-crOp years. how
ever, although both Rhode Island and
New York prices dropped, the great.
est drops were in the surplus-produc-
ing section.
Not Restricted to Apples.
''The principle that the channels of
trade take larger part of the price
of large crop than of a small crop
is not restricted to apples. For eleven
years, when the United States potato
crop was small, the spread between
the farm price at Batavia, N. Y. and
in Rhode Island averaged q cents
Ii ten large-crOp years, the spread
was 81 cents. In twenty years when
the United States corn crop was
small, the average Chicago price of
corn was Is cents above the Iowa
farm price, and in twenty years when
the crop was large, the average spread
was IA cents. The same principle
also applies to hay"
