Mnke Dividends at Sndes. (
"Making dividends at lit Stales." Is
the practice followed by (lie Farmers
Union elevator here. In the year ending
duns 1, tho association handled ISO, 00
liushels of grain, consisting of corn and
Vats, on an average gross margin of
jpnly t cents a bushel. Tho average mar
gin on which farmers' elevatora work, It
Is said. Is about 6 cents a bushel. Ac
tual handling charges in ths elevator
amounted to an average of only 1.7 cents
a bushel. Only a small profit was shown
by tho association for the year, but It
Is estimated that by buying on a close
inargln the farmers In tho Immediate
.trade territory got S5.400 more for their
irrain than If the usual margin of S cents
bushel had been taken. Grain prices
in nearby towns were also affected by
Jthe pace set by the Dixon elevator.
C' . - Charge Wrong Grading.
I A profit of about $800 accumulated by
the Farmers Union co-operative elevator
tf Fairfield between January 1 and
April 1 this year was turned Into a small
loss for the five-month period ending
Slav SI by disappointing returns on three
ferloads of wheat. It Is charged that
through wrong grading, from which tha
commission company to which the grain
v.is shipped did not appeal, tha elevator
was cheated out of 17 to IS cents a
bushel on the wheat. On 6.00 bushels
of corn handled In the five months, tho
association made a gross profit of ll.tos.

Winter Storage of
Eggs Explained
Poultry Specialist Outlines
Preferred Method of
Storage.
Fred Olds, extension ooultrv in
eialist of the agricultural college of
Aeoraska state university advises
housewife to begirt the storing of
egg for winter use during the period
oi tne heaviest production as he
claims that at this period the prices
are lowest.
"The producers of eggi can at
times overcome to a large extent the
high prices and scarcity of winter
eggs by storing a few dozen during
mc period oi nign porciucnon ana low
prices," asserts Mr. Olds.
Only clean, sterile, fresh eggs, free
from cracks should be used for pre
serving, Mr. Olds advises. Eggs
with soiled shells should never be
used for storing purposes. One of
the best methods advanced by the
specialist for storing eggs for winter
use is to the employment of sodium
silicate solution of water glass,
which is a colorless preparation
which can be purchased at any drug
store, i he proportion to be used, ac
cording to Mr. Olds, are oue quart
of water glass to nine or ten quarts
of water which has been previously
boiled and cooled to destroy the im
purities. One quart of water glass
will make enough solution to cover
about 20 dozen eggs.
One of the better ways to preserve
eggs, according to Mr. Olds, 'is to
use half-gallon jars as containers.
Jars should be sterilized before
using. Rubber should be placed over
the lids in orer to prevent evaporation
of the sodium silicate solution. The
old solution of the silicate should
never be used for a new batch of
eggs. -

ncrease of Tenants Is
Causing Concern in Iowa
Le Mars la. Fifty-seven out of
every 100 farms in Plymouth county
are operated by tenants, a recent ccn-
us shows. The survey indicated
that there had been an increase of
per cent in the number -of renters
in the county since 1910. Alarmed at
the situation, the Plymouth county
Farm bureau has arranged meetings
etween land owners and tenants to
iscuss the problem. According to
the Farm bureau, under the pryent
ystem of tenant management, the
fertility of the soil is rapidly nearing
depletion. Tenants take no responsi-
llitv in canne for the future pro
ductivity of the land, according to
the Farm bureau.
More Than 100 Apply for
Certification of Seed
The Nebraska Crop Growers' asso
ciation reports that more than 100
applications for crop inspection and
seed certification are now on' file. The
rules for seed certification for 1922
have been made more strict in order
to insure that the grain which quali
fies is true to name, is pure and free
from disease and is of good quality.
Thirty-five counties are represented
among the applications with Kanred
wheat, Nebraska No. 60 and 6 wheat,
Nebraska No. 21 oats and Rosen rye
predominating among the grains to
be certified. Certificates will be giv
en to the farmers whose grains are
inspected.
Control of Potato Tipburn
Occupying Sac City Fanners
San City Ia.-r-Control of potato
tipburn, caused by leaf hoppers, has
been occupying the attention of the
farmers, of this vicinity. The first
appearance of the injury, a small tri
angular burned area at the tip of the
leaf, was noticed a short time ago.
Spraying with Bordeaux mixture has
been advised by the Farm bureau.
The mixture kills theinsects re
sponsible for the injury and should
be applied from both above and be
low the plant, since the insects work
under the leaves as well as on top.

Mr. Crow'a Question,
If people tnubbrd Reddy Wood
pecker he never cared. When the
members of the I'leatant Valley
HeoauM I bavtrrt secretary
yet,. Eeddji explained
Singing society wouldn't let him
join them, he only smiled and sai
he intended to form a club of hit
own.
As toon as the bird neighbors
heard of Reddy's plan, they were all
very curious to know more about it.
But whenever anybody asked him
questions he had little to say.
You 11 learn all about it later.
he told them. "Please don't bother
me now, for I'm a busy bird. I'm
starting my club.
It was easy for Reddy woodpecker
to keep his secrets from such small
feathered folk as little Mr. Chippy.
but there was one that couldn t rest
until he found out what he wanted
to know. This was old Mr. Crow,
He shot question after question at
Keddy Woodpecker. At last Reddy
just had to tell him something in or
der to gain a little peace. Reddy
just knew that Mr. Crow would
leave him as soon as he had picked
up a bit of news. The old gentle'
man would hurry away to tell it to
everybody in the valley.
What s your club going to be
named?" Whenever Mr. Crow
talked with Reddy Woodpecker that
was his favorite question. He asked
it so many times and so loudly that
just to get rid of him Reddy finally
told him.
"I'm going to call my club 'The
Redcaps,' he said.
Old Mr. Crow didn't tarry an in
stant longer. With an eager look
in his snapping black eyes he went
flapping off on his broad wings, far
down the valley.
Now, Mr. Crow was a fast work'
er. In an hour's time he had zig
zagged back again, having spread
his bit of news far and wide. And
when he had repeated it to the last
neighbor he could find he hurried
to the orchard to ask Reddy Wood
pecker more questions.
The moment he found Reddy Mr.
Crow began to put one question
after another so fast that you
couldn't have told where one ended
and the next one began.
Keddy Woodpecker pretended to
be busier than ever.
"I can't stop now," he told Mr.
Crow. "You'll have to see my sec
retary." "Where is he? Who is he?" Mr.
Crow inquired hoarsely.
"I can't answer those questions"
Reddy replied.
"Why not?" demanlded Mr. Crow.
"Because I haven't a sercetary
yet Reddy explained.
"Why should you have a secre
tary?" Mr. Crow asked him.
"Why shouldn't I?" Reddy retort
ed. "I guess, Mr. Crow, you don't
know much about clubs. I guess you
don't know that the president of the
club alwavs has a secretary."
"Are you president of the Red
caps? Mr. Crow med breathlessly.
"Well yes, I am!" Reddy admit
ted. "I didn't inean to tell you that
today. But I can't deny it."
Mr. Crow was off like a shot. You'd
have thought he had just spied Farm
er Green with a gun in his hands.
His caw, caw, caw, told everybody
in Pleasant Valley that he was going
somewhere on important business.
Reddy Woodpecker pulled a fat
grub from its hiding place in the old
apple tree. He, could still hear Mr.
Crow squawking when the old gen
tleman was half a mile away. And
Redeyy smiled as he swallowed the
grnb.
"That's better than putting the
news in a newspaper," he said with a
chuckle.

Trade Review
By a. i, dun ico.
Th statu, ef general bualnese hs. not
changed much during the week, but evi
dence of further Improvement I. not leek
Ing. Frogresa would be more rapid If
labor trouble, were net present In some
Important Industries, yet gains thi. .ye.r
nave seen substantial, ana tne decided
ly stronger fundamental condition, prom
Ian well for the future. Existing Irregu
lerltlee and uncertainties detract some
what from the favorabla feature., but
uniform recovery we. not to be expected,
nor was it to be supposed that causes for
hesitation would be wholly absent. A. sig
nificant and resssurlng phase Is the de
velopment of Increasing confidence In
many quarters, and a reflection of the
better sentiment appeara In the more
numerous Inquiries and actual orders to
covsr both Immediate and forward re
quirements. While competition for busi
ness is still keen In different line., th.
nltlatlve In most transaction, i no longer
with the seller, and pressure for deliveries
has become sufficiently urgent In certain
Inatdncea to reault In premium, being es
tablished on quick shipment. With ad
vance., predominating In Iun'. list of
wholesale auotatlona during 2 of the last
25 weeks, the reaction from previous price
depression has clearly been decisive, and
the prospect of higher levels to follow now
influences tn buying policy in some
markets.
Easter Money Market Conditions.
Evidence multiplies of further easing In
International money market.. Following
la.t week, reduction in tne r-ngusn
bank rate from I to lli per cent, the lo
cal Federal Reserve bank thla week low
ered Its rediscount rate from 4H to 4 per
cent, and renewals of call loans on the
Stock Exchsnge were made at 2 per
cent. This Is the lowest quotation named
on renewals since October, 1917, and funds
for the fixed periode were also avail
able at concessions. While the decline In
the Reserve bank's rate waa the outstand
ing financial development of the reek,
movements In foreign . exchange likewise
attracted attention. After an early break
to 14.38, sterling exchange recovered
sharply, and similar tendencle. appears
in remittance rate, on other European
countries.
Steel Demand. Mere Freeetog.
With requests for deliveries' becomla
more Dressing, the steel situation galna I
strength each week. Published quotation
disclose few additional, advances, ous un
certainty regardln fuel supplies make
sellers still firmer in tneir views, ana
premiums on some material are- widen-
inr Whiu the threatened railroad tie-
up does not yet enter largely into market
calculation., it is not wnony wunoui in
fluence nn sentiment, and -the' 12th week
of the coal strike finds' no aerious breaa.
In miners'-ranks. Despite this handicap.
however, Iron and steel production la well
maintained at taw nigner level recentty
established, and complaint, of labor
scarcity are beginning to .be heard.
Farther Textile Price Advances. ..
The Influence of Lhe higher raw ma
terlal costa on textile fabric prices la be-i
coming more evident each ' week, wits
tho renewed rise In cotton, quotations on
different goods were further advanced
this week, and print clothe are now about
2c above the level or a year ago. rur-
chasing by distributor, continues along
conservative tines, caution being Induced
by uncertainty regarding luture cenaump
tton. and most Interests are not dls-
nnaed . to entlcloate reQUlremente more
than a few weeks ahead. While trade haa
heen benefited b the Industrial revival,
the backward spring retarded the move
ment of merchandise, and effofte have
been made to . reduce accumulated sup
nlies ' through -the medium, of clearance
aalea tn wholesale clrclea. Retailers, more
over, have found It neceaaary to name
close prices. '
Strength in Hide Continues.
No abatement of the strength of domes
tic and foreign hide markets naa been
witnessed, and the rise In prices has
hn.n ..t.nlB m certain ctuarters. While
some buyers have been disposed to hold
off at . further advances, the statistical
position I. very satisfactory from sellers'
vlowpomt, and a lessening of trading,
where it has occurred, has had no effect
on prices. Similarly, firmness In leatner
maintained, acspiio a uimuuwuvm .
business in some descriptions, ana tan
ner, are more confident of the future.
On the recent buying movement, require
ments were covered a little ahead, and a
slackening of demand ha. not unnaturally
followed. '
