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.

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. - Fruit and Vegetables Below Normal in Iowa Des Moines, la., Fruit and vege table crops in Iowa are slightly be low normal this year, according to the official crop condition report for June 15 issued by the state horti cultural society.

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.

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.

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. Copyright 193.

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.

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.

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.
