Urged to Be Cautious
In Feeding Live Stock

Proceed with caution this fall cat
tie and lamb feeders are advised by
w. H. Peters, chief of the division
Of animal and poultry husbandry at
University farm, ST. Paul.
An analysis of the situation, ex-
plains Peters, indicates strong de-
mand for feeder cattle and lambs,
with no weak spot in sight. The
present feed supply is larger than
last years, and all feed prices are
little lower. And while the mar
ket on grain-fat cattle and fed
lambs is some lower than year
ago, it is in a fairly strong posi-
ton compared to feeder animal cost
and feed expense. Added to this is
prediction for stronger industrial
activity through the winter and
spring months, with hope for a
slightly larger outlet for quality
meat.
Many cattle and lambs will go to
market from the range and pastures
in good grass-fat condition and
will be taken by the packers at
prices prohibitive to the feeder, says
Peters. If thin enough, well-bred
cattle and lambs of high grade are
good buy, but their price may
be pushed too high as fall buying
proceeds.
No farmer should buy animals of
feeder type unless he has feed suit
able for fattening. More money is
lost through trying to fatten high
priced steers and lambs on cheap
coarse feed than by any other prac-
tice in the feeding business. Either
buy concentrates to go with the
coarse feed, or stay out of the bust
ness, he says.
Peters suggests that the farmer
with a large supply of coarse feed
and little grain buy ewes and raise
lambs for next spring, or buy cows
and raise calves. He might also
buy young heifers or steers and not
fatten them, but grow them to an in
crease in weight and age, thereby
making little money on the coarse
feed.

Putting "Col" in Colonel"

The "coP' in "colonel' has the
sound of ''ker" because the word ir
former times was spelled "coronel,"

nounced "kuroneP' and "kornel,"

meantime it had become the custom
to spell the word as it is now.

and shuddered brilliance with every
movement she made.
Here let me say that the game
which she played was so cunning
that I was soon out of my depth:
add to which that she spoke in Ger
man which I could not understand.
But, since I later knew all, will
set down directly what happened,
because my own reactions have
nothing to do with the tale.
Old Harry had had Herrick's note.
She, therefore, laid herself out to
entice the Count on to the ground
which Virgil had said was forbid
den, three hours before. In word,
she set out to make him put rope
round his neck-a seemingly hope
less task but not to the Ouch
ess of Whelp, for she turned the
rope into a garland, and, after a
little, he put the pretty thing on.
She handed him memories and then
demanded them back; she said he
must see her diary; she made the
desert of danger bloom with good
will; arm in arm, they wandered
over it's borders BY the time
that the entree was served, the
Count was most deeply committed
and Virgil, whom / was watch
ing, could hardly sit still.
And then, without any warning,
Old Harry let fly.
Above our subdued conversation,
her voice rang out.
"What became of George Elliott"
The table was round, and I was
facing the Count, so saw him well.
A servant was presenting dish,
but, because of this startling query,
his master had no mind to spare and
the man stood beside him unnoticed
except by everyone else.
Even at literary luncheon, the
question, so suddenly put, might
well have disconnected a wiser
man: as it was, its striking irrele-
vance hit the Count over the heart.
He stared upon the Duchess, who
had coolly returned to her plate, as
though she had asked him whether
his soul was saved: then he lifted
his eyes to Virgil's-to read an in
depreciation which brought the
sweat on to his face.
He shot glance round the table,
and hand went up to his mouth =.
Old Harry looked up from her
place.
What became of George Eliot?'
I said"
Somehow the man made answer.
George Eliot" madam? Now
let me see :" The Duchess
stared. George Eliot I think
the edition we had"
"Edition?" cried the Duchess.
Edition? What ever d'you mean?"
There was a painful silence.
The servant presenting the dish
stood up and looked round for guild
ance: but Bertran, who had come
to his help, was staring upon his
master with saucer eyes. The lat
ter wiped the sweat from his brow.
"My memory" he said, sis I'M
certain. You have revived it, ma
dam, to some extent, but"
"You remembered our visit to
Palfrey, where the pictures were
going to be sold. And your father
saw one of George Eliot -

"Oh, now have you, madam.
The picture, you mean. For the
moment"
"Picture? Is one of us mad? I
asked what became of George Ell

markets for most types OF goods at
our doors even though populations
growth slowing up and may cause
but the goods our industries can
produce cannot be sold under the
present system of distributing our
purchasing power while population
is growing but slowly
In predicting a major slump IN

sharp decline in the birth rate con-
tinues, Thompson said that the
slow population growth will affect
both the market for agricultural
products and the price of farm
lands.
ANY wise land-use program will,
therefore, take into account the
population growth in drawing up
plans for the future" he said.
1T is one o. the tricks of fate
that population growth is slacken-

logical improvements in almost all

The issue-and it appeared that

whether money on deposit in banks
should be used to gear economic
machinery to combat depression.
Eccles, administration advocate
of free spending, apparently is the
only dissenter. He wants the gov

bank examination to give bankers
greater freedom in the investment

He contends that present federal
restrictions on private lending pre-
vent borrowing by small businesses
Make these restrictions more elastic
and business will borrow more free
ly; spend more freely and set the
wheels of industry moving at a
swifter pace, he argues.
Morgenthau, backed by Chairman
Leo T. Crowley of the FDIC and
Acting Comptroller of the Currency
Marshall Diggs, contends that such
a policy would result in banks TAX
