Neb., April 15.—Box Butte county will again lead the state in po tato acreage, according to figures compiled here for the coming season. 1 The acreage last year, Including both seed and table stock, was slightly in excess of 27,000 acres. The acreage this coming season will probably be not less than 30,000 acres. Box Butts county is gradually working Into the seed potato business, and probably more than one-half of the 1923 acreage will lie the Blits Tri umphs. which are In demand in south ern states for seed. Gage County Breeder Selta Duroc-Jersey Boar for $2,500 Special IHapatrh to The Omaha Bee. Wymore, Neb, April 15.—David Bocslnger, widely known stock raiser of Cortland, sold ‘‘High Commander,” a yearling Duroc Jersey boar to J. L. Duke of Skiatook, Okl., for $2,500. The animal Is an offspring of “Com mander,” grand champion at the Ne braska state fair in 1922. Otoe County Agent Explains Mulching Any coarse material, such Ss straw, hay or bedding from the stable will serve as a mulch for /teed potatoes, according to A. H. DeLong, eouflty extension agent of Otoe county. The material should be free from grain or weed seeds, he said It must be deep enough to prevent weed growth, to conserve the soil moisture, and to keep yie ground cool when the tubers are forming. A mulch about four inches deep after settling will accom plish these results. A thicker mulch will cost more and Is liable to prevent a good stand of plants. "The mulch may be applied im mediately after planting or any time before the young tubers begin to form,” he said. "If the mulch !• not applied before the plants are up, it Is better to wait until the plants are several Inches high In applying a mulch upon potato plants that are several inches high, it is necessary to exercise considerable precaution - to get the litter close about the plants without burying them. A potato sprout will force its way up through a comparatively thick mulch, while a comparatively thin much will smother the plant, if applied after the leaves are spread. Thus, the extra care necessary in mulching plants that are several Inches high makes the process more expensive than mulch ing immediately after planting.” Culls j As years go by there is not a house 1 In the community that has not away some clipping that the h^me town editor has written. !♦.-'may cause dim eyes every time i) j9 un. covered, but it brings the e'Jimr inti the life of the household ag nothing else can. Meat Cookery—Tr^gh meat can never lie made t'.nder i,y frying be cause the intej(fee heat uge(j simply hardens th® tissues Instead of soften ing them. Tough cuts should be cooked ^|owiy; albumin and flavor can bjjf extracted by soaking In cold w®y§r over night; meat Juice Is best rP!j^ained In the cut by rapid searing, but the inner part of the meat should be cooked at a much lower temper ature. Swiss steak is one way to use tough cuts, suggests Mary A. Dolve, exten sion specialist in foods at state col lege: 1-2 pound steak, 2 Inches thick, 1. cup flour, 1 teaspoon each of salt and pepper, 1 tablespoon chooped onion. Pound flour into meat, place 1-4 cup fat in hot pan, sear meat on both sides, add 1 cup hot water, sim mer one hour, then add seasoning and cook 1-2 hour longer, or until cut is tender. This method makes thick gravy while cooking. Does formaldehyde weaken with age? Unless it becomes contaminated with dirt or kept in a very warm place it has s tendency to beoome stronger, since the evaporation of wa ter is greater than gas. Sometimes it crystallizes, which means that the formaldehyde has almost tripled in strength, but it can he reduced to normal strength by adding sufficient J water to dissolve the crystals. President and Mrs. Harding Entertain Informally Washington, April 15.—The first social function of any importance since Mrs. Harding’s Illness last fall was held at the White House, the president and Mrs. Harding en tertaining informally about 100 friends in official and unofficial life.

The Business Barometer This Week's Outlook in Commerce, Finance, Agriculture and Industry Based on Current Developments. BY THEODORE H. PRICE. EDITOR,' COMMERCE AND tl RANCH NEW YORK. Copyright, 1R3. Of the railroads it has been recently remarked that they are investing much money in new equipment and improved facilities because they are “menaced with prosperity." The same thing might bo said of business generally In the United Staten. Because they are menaced by prosperity the steel manufacturers have been com pelled to grant an advance of 11 per cent j in wages. The General Electric company j has “ordered Its joint conference com mittee to consider a readjustment in the I wage scale" and all over the country ; employers are finding that they must | pay more or lose their help. Prices Will Advance. The result will of course be higher 1 coats and higher prices to meet which a , further advance in wages will be demand, ed, and ho we shall follow the vicious spiro upward until we reach the top and are fcreed to Jump off or retrace our steps. Just which alternative will be selected no one can predict, but during the last few years ,he business men of } the United States have beep attending a school of . pplied economics and it Is at j least reasau. ing th*t moat of them now ’ understand that we must soon reach a point at which activity will be halted by j high prices. There are, n fact. iomi Indications of a slow down Already. They are not yet reflected in statistics but there are a good many who report a slackening in the demand for w’hat they have to sell. Thus, an out of town manufacturer of furniture telephoned me the other day to ask me if I could explain why his sales in the eastern cities were so small, T’OTt- than onlp distributor of dry goods hks reput'd !*•*» their ord«^ are now accepted and filled with u^^ .*1 and surprising promptitude. The automobile manufacturers continue to advertise a record production, but the fact that th« Ford dealers are offering to fell a car for $160 cash down and the balance at the rate of "89 cents a day" is construed by some as indicating that the “motor market" has at 1*ast reached the long predicted “saturation point." Tide May Tarn. There are a few other straws whose diminished speed of movement may mean that the tide Is about to turn, but they are being closely watched and It is at least gratifying to feel that no one will be shocked or surprised when the ebb sets in. Most of the commodity markets have been featureless, but a sharp ad vanes in wheat has followed a government re port indicating a reduction of $0 mil lion bushels In the yield of winter wheat. Corn improved sympathetically, tfbt cot ton has afforded a fresh demonstration of “the unwisdom of bulling the tall end I of a small crop Coffee and sugar have been alternate ly weak and strong, but without a pro nounced tendency in either direction. Copper is slightly easier at 17*4 cents and the Indisposition to buy steel for prompt delivery continues, beinr probably the result of the abandonment of building ■ that has followed ths lata advance in ! wages On the stock exchange the prices of most securities have declined. There are so^ib exceptions, but not many The weakness of the railroad stocks has been really surprising In view of the large traffic and record car loadings report ed. It is perhaps explained by the fear that the roads are burdening themselves unduly with equipment trust obliga tions in order to provide the rolling stock and motive power that they need, but there is also a feeling that the farm bloc In the next rongress may be able to carry out Its threat to reduce rates. Good bonds have now reached a point at which they ought to be attractive In vestments unless the money market ad vances further, of which there is no pres ent indication as the Federal Reserve statement shows a gain of $16,000,000 in the gold held and a reserve ratio of 76.3 per cent as against 75 a week ago. -J'ord for President The announcement that the name of Henry Ford will be formally placed on the primary ballot of the progressive party In Nebraska as Its candidate for president and that he will be the candidate of the American Economic League in many other states has caused concern in some quar ters, as the alms of the Economic League as stated in its charter include the econ omic stabilization of the United States through the establishment of a debt pay ing system of finance, in place of the debt creating Federal Reserve Bank system, and a soldier bonus by the direct Isue of full legal tender currency from the government. But It remains to be seen whether the Ford-for-president movement will really acquire enough projectile power to force the nomination of its candidate. If It does the best idea of its probable effect can probably be found In the re< </rd of 1896, when the fear of Mr. Bryan's elec tion on a flat money platform resulted in an acute depression of prices. Europe h Discouraging. The news from Europe continues to dis courage those who had hoped that the spring would bring tranquility. In pur suing the ignis fatuus of the reparations the French are being drawn farther and farther Into Germany, and the execution of Vicar General Butchkavltch has re vived the bitterness generally felt toward the soviet government of Russia. Many news dispatches Insist that Len tne. is dying and that he has been entirely superseded by a group who are already quarreling among themselves over a di vision of the political spoils In England, the Bonar Law ministry has narrowly escaped defeat and the com plete domination of the labor party is predicted But one consequence of the disorder that exists abroad is that Amerioa Is coming to feel that self-interest will shortly make It necessary for Uncle 8am to assert himself in straightening out conditions overseas. This Is Indicated by the outgivings of Senators Pepper and Ca pper. If the result shall be our aggressive co op-ration with Great Britain in sterilizing the seeds of another war that have b*-**n recently sown. It Is quite possible that the effect upon business would be stimu lating. and It Is in this direction that J look most hopefully for the sunshine that will dispel the fog that now overhangs our export trade.

Horses Worth Million Destroyed in Fire Burlington. N'. J . April 13.—Sixty stallions and brood mares valued at approximately $1,900,000 ware burned to death in a fire that de stroyed two stables on the Rancocas stock farm, owned by Harry F. Sin clair. Among the animals destroyed was the thoroughbred American stal lion Inchoape, whose purchase price was $115,000. The fire was discovered by one of the farm guards after it had gained considerable headway. The flames de molished the central stables of the estate before apparatus could reach the scene, and spread so rapidly that the only horse that could be aaved from the stables was the stallion Purchase. The horses destroyed included those used for breeding purposes only, and none of the string that Is now used for racing by the Rancocas etahles was injured. The race horses were in ■tables in another part of the farm, about a mile from the buildings de stroyed. **• ’ww v Year* ago 'j the introduction of ^ Buttermilk Baby Chick Food 1 revolutionized and made chick raising safer. and easier.
