Farm Letter

Bozeman. Mont, Aug. 11.-Cul-
ling time should be canning time
for the homemaker when it is de.
sired to cut the living costs and to
obtain a higher than market re-
turn for the non-laying hens. says
Miss Frances Smith, foods and
nutrition specialist at Montana
State ollege. Canning also saves
feed that might better be going
to layers.
Canning chicken is not a diff
cult c but there are a few
things that should be done to
make the result satisfactory and
to avoid the ordinary pitfalls. Pro-
cessing in a pressure cooker
eliminates any trouble that might
occur in other methods due to
differences in altitude. Without
the pressure cooker the Montana
Time Table for Processing Fruits,
Vegetables, and Meats is alb
solutely necessary, according to
Miss Smith.
In the preparation Of poultry
for canning Miss Smith offers
these suggestions: Kill at least
six hours before drawing; remove
feathers. bleed well and cool thor
oughly; SINCE and wash with soap
and water or dry clean with soda
or bran; and lastly, draw chicken
and cut up into usual pieces.
In packing jars, the foods
authority recommends removing
meat from the breast bone but not
from other bones. Do not pack
giblets in a jar with rest Of chick
en-, she warns. Pack these parts in
separate jars. Pack in jars raw,
or brown first in hot fat (use no
-four or crumbs). Add two tea
spoons of salt per quart unless it
is Drowned chicken that has been
sailed previously. Seal jar com
pletely and the packing is com
plete.
If a pressure cooker is used,
Miss Smith recommends process
sing one hour at Is pounds pres
sure or 80 minutes at 10 pounds
pressure. If the processing is
done in a water bath, she says
the Montana Time Table is neces-
sary to determine the correct
time.
Lamb Feeding
Bozeman, Mont, Aug. IA
92-pound fat lamb usually COM

terially speeds up the process of
hurrying lambs to this desired
weight, according to Louis Vinke,
head OF the animal husbandry de-
partment at Montana State col
lege.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, July Start
ing the second half Of the year, the in
terror finds itself in a more puzzled
financial position than ever in its his
tory at such q date. This Is not merely
because Of the low price level for
products, though that is q primary
cause. but includes the psychological
effect Of long grind during which
initiative has been weakened and con-
fldence brought to low ebb.
To be sure, the far country has been
experiencing for the past three years
q gradual downward trend in the value
of its products and has made some re-
adjustments in accordance Herewith,
but the opening of q rich wheat harvest
has found it somewhat bewildered as to
what to expect next.
The six months past have been
marked by static situation as to
trade. Buying has been limited to es-
sentials and the popular idea has been
to spend Is little as possible, while
credit has been limited in every line
Of distribution. Commitments have
been held to a minimum by merchants
and jobbers, who have been uncertain
as to the future. The rural banks have
seen deposits lessen, partly seasonally,
but reaching beyond ordinary extent.
They have taken losses on bond ac-
counts, have reduced or eliminated
dividends and sought to maintain SOL
vency rather than show earnings.
Probably there will be more failures in
the Plains States, though bank de-
partments declare the general position
stronger than two years ago through
wedding out Of many weak banks.

BUSINESS IS QUIET
IN FIFTH DISTRICT
Little Change in Employment

RICHMOND, Va, July Little

ment conditions Of the nth district
by the Federal Reserve Bank Of Rich
mond during May and the first part
Of June, william w. Hoxton, chairman
and Federal Reserve agent here. said
in his July business conditions review.
Mr.. Hoxton said that relief agencies
continued to receive an unusually large
number of calls for assistance from
people who could not find SUFFICIENT work
TO maintain themselves and their fam
lilies.
Coal production was reported to be
lower than that Of 1880, and he said
building had not shown as much sea-
sonal increase this Spring as during
the corresponding period last year. -.
The report added that practically all
industries of the fifth district except
tobacco factories were operating less
than at the same time last year.
Some Of the railroads serving the
district were reported to have put tneir
shop forces on a five-day-week basis,
without any reduction in hourly wage,
and the Southern Railway was re-
ported to be making plans for the
adoption of the same working period
in the near future. This arrangement,
the report said, would make 1t possible
to retain all employees. The report SAID
also. that wages thus far have "nelo
up fairly well. but there Is gradual
downward trend in evidence, especially
among small industrial plants which
lack financial strength to meet the un.
favorable conditions of the depression.

Business Failures

Noted in Report of
Recent Defaults.

NEW YORK, July 4.-The report on
insolvencieS for June was more favor
able than for many months past. The
number Of failures was considerably re-
duced, and while the liabilities contin-
ued heavy, owing to some defaults Of
unusual size, the total was very much
less than for June Of last year. The
records Of r. G. Dun & Co. show 1898
business failures in the United States
during the month just closed. involving
S51 .655, 648 of Indebtedness.
These figures compare with 2,026
similar defaults in June of last year for
$63,130,762. The reduction in the num-
Der of failures from year ago was the
first in over IL months, or since Novem-
Der, 1929, and the number in June was
the smallest since September last. The
decline from January to June this year
has been particularly marked, being
equivalent to 40 per cent: whereas In
1880 1t was ass per cent; also, as to
liabilities, the reduction this year from
January to June was IS per cent. A
year ago there was an increase in la
bilitieS in June as compared with jan
uary.
For the half year ending with June
business failures numbered 15.107, and
the liabilities were 1910, 497, 369. The
number compared with 1871 for the
first half of 1880 and 1884 during the
same time of 1922. period when flnan-
cial conditions were particularly dis
turbed. In no preceding half year have
business failures been as heavy as this
year. Liabilities also were large, COM
pairing with $337, 089, 083 a year ago.
The amount was not so heavy as in the
first six months Of 1922, however, when
$373, 716,338 was involved, q record

TULSA, July Am unwillingness
which has almost become universal in
the oil industry to liquidate inventories
further has materially strengthened
gasoline prices at the wholesale tank
market in the midcontinent area this
week and materially increased the de-
mand for fresh petroleum from the
wells.
Oil men would rather cause q dinin-

oil underground at the current prices
than take the large losses which with
drawals from storage on top Of the
ground at this time entail.
They feel little concern about writ
ing down inventories to the current
market price, but taking the actual loss
by the physical movement of the prod
ucts when replacement depends upon
the freakishnes Of geology Is another
matter.
A three-eighths Of a cent advance in
gasoline prices has resulted from the
spirited demand which developed from
the absorption Of the distress material

first time this year are entering the
market. They were waiting for the
turning point. Whereas gasoline was

lon in q buyers market, 1t has moved
to ga for East Texas and 21a cents
for other points of the midcontinent
field in q sellers market. The supply
at the new prices even appears limited.
The reversal Of the market and SEN
timent come from the realization that
the curtailment in operations in the
production Of the raw material and the
products therefrom was based upon a
lower level Of consumption than now
prevails. Then the curtailment pro-
gram which has guided operations this
Spring was formulated also on a level
Of prices a good deal higher and on
one which did not contemplate todays
