The factors in making a decision otbuy or sell a certain
,tock are, of course, Of greatest interest-and important-to
an investor. Space limitations in a newspaper column preclude
a full explanation, but we can review here quickly the simple
procedure for analysis.
First, study the background of any company, its past
history of earnings, dividends, successful operations and abb
4ty to progress and change with changing conditions. Qnfor-
nation and records of various companies are available through
equitable brokers) Try to make an estimate of probably flu
.ure earnings and dividends. What is the price-earnings ratio?
that is to say, how many times earning does the stock you
are considering sell for now? What is the asset value and is
he company strong or in a weak financial condition? Finally,
what about management? Does the management seem able
and dynamic or is there a tendency to rest on the record Of
past performances and let others pass then by in developing
new and better products, operations and salesmanship?
Care and study before making a move in the market will
pay off well for the investor as well as for the Spectator,

age crop, should ideally be har- vested not later than the late mllk-to-early-dough stage of the oat crop, the agronomists explained. However, because of relatively large acreage of oats and peas and the consider able time required for harvest of the entire crop, some is har- vested well in advance of the milk stage of the oats.
 Ryegrass contributes very little extra forage to an oat pea crop harvested once at the conventional milk to dough stage of the oats, and ryegrass doesn't make much of re- growth during the relatively short portion of the growing season that remains following oat-pea-ryegrass harvest at this advanced stage of develop ment of the crop, the report stated.
 However, ryegrass regroWth produces a considerable yield of very high quality forage fol- lowing an early harvest of oats peas-ryegras at about the time that oat heads are just begin ming to emerge. The Experi- ment Station has obtained an average of one and half tons of dry matter per acre from the second crop, consisting princip- ally of ryegrass and harvested in mid-September.
 Early harvest of the portion of the eat-pea crop planted with ryegrass provides an abundant source of nutritious forage during late summer when perennial pastures are falling off in productivity. Sweetman and Brundage re- ported that cows maintained good milk production on rye grass during late August and September Milk production usually falls off drastieaIly when brome grass is the for. age source during that period.
 However, they advise that some hay or silage should be fed along with the ryegrassi because of q decided laxative effect on the animals when rye grass alone is fed.
 A light topdressing of nitro gen fertilizer immediately fol- lowing the early harvest of oats -peas-ryegrass will provide a much-needed boost for the

O6- finer Retiires A Er0ntiersman

After innumerable years of service to the printing industry and many years of service to The Frontiersman, .an old and valued employee was put to bed" this week.
 With this issue, your From tiersman is being printed on a new (to us) press which was installed during the past week.
 The old Babcock which was a handled press of rare vim tage, finally retired from active duty. Not knowing the exact age of the press it is difficult to estimate it's actual life span. However, the patent plate which was salvaged off the old press started with the year 1865 and the last patent date listed was 1890. It was, We are sure, eligible for social security.
 We would like to caution our fine subscribers to watch for any limitations of The From tiersman. If they do show up, Ralph Goodrich who purchas- ed the old press for junk, must have gotten the pieces back to- gether again. We doubt it though.
 With our new equipment we shall be able to print The Ffontiersman in approximate lY half the time required pre- 1iously and to produce a much better product.
 At times we wondered Whe- ther the multitude of problems in getting the new press iastal- led was really worth i The main problem was tndre ect r3nent that was capable ot handling 10 ions of iron and steel Tn one lift. After running out c5 pos bilitles, the Alias ka Railroad crane was put 5n= to acton getting the main DOT tion of the press out of is freight van. It was then truck ed by a lo-boy to The From tiersman.
 That is where the fun start ed.
