The country's greatest finan.
cial need Is at least temporary
respite from promotional activity

curities already outstanding.
Recent heavy offerings of in.

panies have apparently not been
absorbed with savings, but have
been paid for in part out OF
borrowed funds. aggravating the
brokers' loan situation.
The rise of brokers loans to
new peaks in recent weeks with
out a corresponding upturn in
prices suggests most forcibly that
the character of the selling has
been better than that of the buy
ing. The statistical implication is
that outright holders - institu-
tional and individual-havs been
passing along part of their port
folios to marginal spectators.

BOISE, Idaho, February 22.-The
battle of wits between a numberleSs
flock of crows and sportsmen who
had planned to dynamite the birds
rookery near here finds the advan-
tage on the side of the black raw
ayers.
Upward of a million crows awoke
this morning untattered because
they had outguessed, temporarily at
least, the sportsmen.
An investigation made by Ada
County Fish and Game League off,
Gals, who are sponsoring the dyna-
hitting of the rookery, revealed that
the crows were still wary of the dis
turbed condition of their roosting
place and refused to go back in as
large numbers as formerly.
The explosive was planted for &C
ton last Sunday night. but the pres
ence of a large crowd of onlookers
frightened the birds, and they have
steadfastly refused to return to their
rookery. The crows we're declared
to be a menace to the f1ocks of
hungry ducks in this vicinity be-
cause they ate much of the grain
distributed for the game birds.

Good Tillage Still Is
Best for Weed Control

Considerable has been said in re-
cent years relative to the use of chem
icals in the control of weeds. Ac-
cording to the Wisconsin Agricultural
college, the chemical cure for weeds
may be even worse than the disease.
The use of chemicals is not only prov
ing expensive, but chemicals are also
found to be harmful to the soil be-
cause of their poisonous nature. Ac-
cording to A. L. Stone, who is in
charge of weed control in Wisconsin.
the most serious infestations of Wis
consin's most troublesome weeds can
be killed in a season by intensive cul-
tivation. The cost, by the cultivation
method, is not only less, but the pos
sibility of getting good crop is
greater.

Agricultural Hints

The greater part of crown and root
injury of apple trees is started by low
temperatures.
tuberculosis in live stock costs
American farmers between fifty and
sixty million dollars annually.
The farmer who needs money from
hogs most this fall is the one who can
least afford such a loss as cholera
may inflict. Vaccination is good In
surance.
A straw loft in a poultry house sup.
plies an insulating material and makes
for a more uniform temperature
throughout the year. Poultrymen re-
port that straw loft houses are warmer
In winter and cooler in summer.
Eggs that are Al weigh two ounces
each. Egg cases are built to carry
that size. Pullets Matched from two
ounce eggs are apt to lay two-ounce
eggs. Try it An egg scale saves
guessing at the size.

Agricultural Notes


Alfalfa makes well-balanced ration
for horses when fed with corn alone.
Too many chicks under one hover
causes stunted chicks. Give them
room.
To feed cows well will help prevent
a milk shortage next fall; furthermore
1t pays well.
Bluegrass probably is used more
frequently as hog pasture than any
other forage crop.
The COW must have time to chew her
cud IL she is to manufacture milk
from the raw material. Don't expect
her to gather all of her feed from
pasture. n
Produce the best. Quality products
bring prices high enough above the
market quotation foi ordinary prod.
ucts to make II profitable and econorui.
cal to produce them. They also make
satisfied customers and bring repeat
orders.
