Bartow, ’ rich in agricultural and mineral results, is one of the blue ribbon counties of the state, so it is no wonder that the eight annual ex position of the county fair associa tion, which closed tonight, was one of the largest and most creditable that has been promoted in Georgia this year. The interest reflected in an agricultural fair reflects the prosperity and progressiveness of the farmers of a community and that there are many men in Bartow of many avocations, was indicated by the variety and general excellence of the exhibits. The town was gaily and prettily decorated in anticipation of fair week, patroitic colors floating from almost every building in the busi ness district of the city and across the streets. Preparations for the en tertainment of immense crowds had been perfected, and the fact that The Journal’s staff photographer ar rived in the city unannounced, ahead of schedule time, and found it nec essary to journey on to Adairsville to secure hotel accommodations for the night, proved the realization of the predicted attendance. Had the photographer, whose name is with held by request, not been timid and retiring of disposition, arrange ments could have been completed for his reception in the home of several prominent citizens of the city, but he preferred to shoulder his camera and advance to Adairsville, where he spent a peaceful night before the activities of a strenuous day. Agricultural Department Naturally, county fairs revolve around the agricultural displays, and knowing this, the management of the Bartow county fair succeeded in assembling a large number of ex hibits for this Important department. Stilesboro was awarded first prize for the best and most complete dis play of agricultural products grown in and exhibited from any one dis trict. This exhibit was collected and displayed by the Ladies’ club of Stilesboro, Miss Cambie Hawkins, president, and showed that the la dies of Bartow are manifesting an intelligent interest In agriculture. Adairsville was awarded second money, the exhibit being In charge of J. W. Burnes, a prominent and successful planter. Other prizes were awarded as fol lows: Finest display of hay, Henry Milam, Euharlee district; finest dis play of apples, J. W. Burnes, Adairs ville, fourteen varieties; finest dis play of meats, Mrs. R. P, Pyron, Cartersville. Other exhibits that attracted at- i tention were those of the Gaines 1 Marble company, Meade Long Sta- i pie cotton, in charge of Joel Hurt, < Jr., formerly of Atlanta; Webber j Long Staple cotton, in charge of , Farmer Middlebrooks, of Carters- j ville; Cartersville Mills and the Del- . co lighting system. The exhibit of • the Cartersville mills, a recently • compD-nd enterprise, showed the . process of spinning raw cotton Into j undergarments of high class, dura- , ble and comfortable. The farm dem- , onstrator is authority for the state ment that long staple cotton yields in excess of the short staple in Bar tow and that it possesses many oth- * er advantages. Ladies’ Building ‘ The ladies’ building, Mrs. W. H. 1 Field, superintendent, and Mrs. P. 1 C. Flemister assistant, was viewed i with Interest by thousands of vis- < itors during the week. The numer- 1 ous displays consisted of fancy work, , paintings, canned goods, culinary 1 achievements and other entries of . interest to the ladies. Those in ■ charge of the departments were: < Fancy work, Mrs. Robert Renfroe, ■ Mrs. Gaz White; cakes, bread and candy, Mrs. Bob McGinnlns, Mrs. : Jack Hill; canned goods, Mrs. Lem j Lunsford, Mrs. Minnie Conyers; flow- . ers, Mrs. Tanner Lowry, Mrs. Robert Maxwell. The entries in these de partments were prize winners. One 1 display of home-made candy consisted 1 of thirty-six varieties and another, ! the winner ®f the first prize, while not so large, was obviously entitled to the decision, being beautifully ar- ■ ranged and as pretty and sweet as any product of the largest manufac tories. 1 School Exhibit i The exhibit prepared and entered ■ v the teachers of the public school ■ t the Atco cotton mills was a sea- , lure of the entire fair, showing a ■ omprehensive conception. The en- ( iries of the manual training depart ment indicated that the students are ; nterested in the work and that they ,ave achieved well. The canned fruits, vegetables and ' ether entries prepared by the girls, offered conclusive evidence that they are being thoroughly trained. The teachers employed in the school are Miss Mary Harris, principal; Misses Mattie Belle Stanley, Eunice Fallis, Retta Davis, assistants. The principal and her assistants, are making the Atco school one t>f the best in the county and are also prominently identified with civic im provements in Atco and Cartersville. This exhibit was considered by many to be the principal feature of the fair. As demonstrated by Miss Stan ley, it was certainly educational, en tertaining and interesting. There were many school exhibits, as the county school superintendent, Professor J. W. Jackson, is a staunch friend and supporter of the fair as sociation. Exhibits were entered by the Cartersville schools, Cassville, Mission, Rogers, Stilesboro and oth ers, all showing much care and taste n selection and arrangement. Cattle and Swine The cattle barns were filled with he famous Shorthorn, Jersey and rher breeds of cattle popular in north Georgia, a number of which will be on exhibition at the South i ' The "Berkshire is the most popular breed of hogs in B » rto 'Y co there beinsr no second choice. ■ &hl™ •■><« p »' ! ‘’’A,.

Cartersville Dive City 1 The attractive and enterprising Prize Jersey at Dairy Show CHICAGO. —The pjictnre shows pretty Miss Aimme V. Ware and “The Star of Peace,” a prize Jer sey, exhibited at the National Dairy show, stock yards, Chicago. city of Cartersville is almost en tirely surrounded by mountains and hills, whose depths abound in min eral products. From Reservoir hill, from which the city receives an abun dant supply of pure water, one over looks the city pleasantly situated in a fertile valley whose soil yields a rich reward to energetic farmers. The Western and Atlantic, Louisville and Nashville and Seaboard Air Line railways make it one of the most important industrial centers in north Georgia, the number of trains passing daily approaching one hundred. The home of famous men and wom en of the present and past, Carters ville has won a place in the history of the state. Here it was that the late Rev. Sam P. Jones, believed by many to be the most powerful evan gelist of all time, made his home. Cther citizens of historic fame who have died were Major Charles H. Smith, known throughout the na tion under the pen name of “Bill Arp,” author and philosopher; Dr. William H. Felton, eminent preach er and statesman, whose memory will endure as lang as the monu ment of the Georgia marble that was erected in the courthouse yard in his honor by his widow, no less famous and beloved. But all of the people who have contributed to Cartersville are not numbered among the dead. To speak of Bartow county is to mention Mrs. William H. Felton, who, at the ad vanced age of eighty-five years, is active in body and alert of mind. Fondly referred to as the “grand old woman of Georgia,” Mrs. Felton is more than that; she is the grand mother of all north Georgia and is thoroughly conversant with all the important topics of the day. That she wields a vigorous and stingipg pen was convincingly demonstrated during the last political campaign. Then there is another famous wom an in Bartow county, Mrs. Corra Harris, author of “The Circuit Rid er’s Wife,” and a number of other interesting stories that proclaim her one of America’s foremost writ ers. The lovely home of Mrs. Har ris is situated far back among the, mountains she loves, and is one of the points of interest in north Georgia. Old Mine Be-opened The Ladd Lime and Stone com pany, Atlanta, recently re-opened and began the operation of a lime kiln said to be one of the largest in the south. The mine was in operation prior to the war between the states, and the output is without limit, and, according to experts, will yield for hundreds of years. The same prop erty that was being worked seven ty years ago Is now again the scene of energetic activity, providing em ployment for more than a hundred men. \ The Cartersville Underwear mills will begin operation on November 15. This mill was erected at an invest ment of $125,000 and there is al ready a wide demand for its product. The mill is owned principally by lo cal capitalists who are ready at any time to increase a profitable in vestment. Cartersville is under the commis sion form of government, the officers being, mayor, Paschall C. Flemis ter; city manager, Abraham Coom; commissioners, Paschall C. Flemis ter, L. P. Lewis, Z. M. Jackson; city clerk, Thomas A. Upshaw. The board of trade is an active organization that co-operates with the city in the prosecution of every project, its officers being, president, W. J. Weinman; vice president, J. S. Calhoun; secretary, fieorge Wood row, Jr.; executive committee, W. J. Weinman, J. S. Calhoun; J. W. Vaughn, W. J. Taylor, Paschall C. Flemister. The Cherokee club is the woman’s organization, the officers of which are, president, Mrs. Lindsay Forres ter; secretary, Mrs. W. W. Davis. Dr. W. H. Bryan is district health officer. He is waging a successful fight against contagious diseases and is receiving the cordial co-operation of city and county officers. With its natural resources and all organizations working together for the benefit of the citizens, it is no wonder that Cartersville and Bar tow county are making rapid prog ress along every line of endeavor. The Cartersville Tribune-News, Milton L. Fleetwood, editor and pro prietor, is the publicity medium that renders all possible aid in every un dertaking. It Is one of Georgia’s biggest, brightest and best newspa pers and is enjoying richly merited patronage that makes it one of the most progressive weekly newspapers in the state. Apples of Quality Always Find Market Most markets can always find use for a good quality apple, no matter what its shape or the color of its skin may be. It is probably unreasonable to say that one market will take only certain varieties while another will take other varieties. Conditions are always changing ‘preferences For instance, due to prices, there was. in a certain year, a noticeably increased demand for box-packed fruit in some cities known as bar reled-apple markets. The certainty of securing uniformly sized, high ly finished fruit at extremely low prices was the only reason given for this condition, say fruit specialists of the United States department of agriculture. - o== AN-D SUCCESSFUL FARMING Ifr AndrewM iSovle Meeting the Situation At last the war is beginning to strike home. The grand parade is over and jazzing is on the ebb. We have lived in a riotous fashion for five years. Never in our time has money been so abundant, credit so easy to secure and joy so uncon fined. There is an old saying that “He who dances must pay the piper.” Is it possible that our senses have been so dulled by what has happened that we forgot that the day of reckoning would surely come? Is it possible that a nation of normal minded- people who have been con servative, law-abiding and construc tive in all their thought and effort believe that conditions such as have prevailed could continue forever. I hope not. I believe not. In that event, we will be ready to meet the issues of the present and fu ture with a much greater degree of complacency than would other wise be the case. This is not to be a pessimistic statement but rather a consideration of some facts as they exist and suggestions as to how to meet and overcome the diffi culties of the situation by which we are now confronted. Surely we should have anticipated and expected such a condition as appears to be rapidly developing at this time. We could not always ex pect that wages would increase and hours of labor shorten without bringing about certain baleful reac tions. There was bound to be a boosting of the peak of living costs to the breaking point. You cannot cut down production and lessen in dividual effort and at the same time maintain the economic earn ing power of the people of any given community. One cannot spend all the money they secure from high wages or high prices for either raw or man ufactured articles and have a re serve to draw, on in the hour of emergency. We have had a tumul tuous time dancing, spending and enjoying ourselves generally. Let us now “pay the piper” with equanimity and good heart. To this end, we must first realize that hard er work and longer hours lie im mediately ahead. Os course everyone is bound to be hurt by a recession in prices or change from existing conditions. Especially will this prove true in the case of those who are consid erate of their pocketbooks above social, economic and national-wel fare issues. But it we cannot es cape the inevitable, let us meet it fairly and squarely. All that can be asked is a just and fair shrinkage in values all round. It is not just that any one class of society should be asked to bear the burdens of the other. It is not right that all the losses and imposts should be put on the pro ducer. But I do not think the pro ducer, keen as his disappointment may be and severe as his losses may seem, will object to carrying his part of the burden. Os course the producer of foods and raw materials, the farmer, is the last as a rule, to benefit by an increase in prices and the first to feel the recession. It is natural that he should be confused and disturbed over the present situa tion. He has raised his present crop for the feeding and clothing of the nation under the most difficult and trying of conditions. Costs have been exceedingly high. Bumper crops are available and this is helping to cause a severe sagging of the market. For moneyed interests or others to combine in any effort to reduce or lower the returns of the producer be yond the absolute necessity of the oc casion is suicidal and unjust in the highest extent, and I would certain ly side with the producer under such conditions. For after all he is the man who made possible the winning of the war, who has given us our dominance in industry and world trade, who has made it possible for the laborer to receive such high wages, who has given us this delirious holiday in which we have all participated. j To forget or overlook the source from which real prosperity has al ways come will be the most serious economic error we could commit at a time when the safety, sanitay, progress and future success of the nation needs our first thought and consideration. Under the circum stances, what should be done? In so far as the producer is concerned, credit, consideration and encourage ment should be extended to him from every soWce. It is the duty of this nation to protect him in so far as it can legitimately. The writer is hope ful that far more consideration will be extended along this line than some people are disposed ‘to think likely at this time. The next step is for the producer to squarely face the Issues before him. To this end, he should sell such part of his products as will enable him to pay or liquidate a suf ficient amount of his indebtedness to prevent the wheels of trade and com merce from stagnating. There are those who will say this involves an undue sacrifice. The future will show that this statement is not true. I have never been able to see how an indebted Individual gained anything by deferring pay ment on a market which is disposed to shrink in value. Already we have had a number of business colapses of considerable magnitude. The losses involved might have been minimized greatly but for a failure to recognize the approach of an economic reaction. Holding on in the face of shrink ing values is not a desirable policy On the other hand, panic selling and the glutting of the market would be equally foolish and absurd. There is no reason why either policy should prevail. If we sell enough of out raw materials to satisfy our indebt edness. then we can hold the bal ance of our crops, if that policy seems advisable. At least we can market our surplus crops slowly and with materiaf advantage to all the interests concerned. I think, therefore, the first propo sition is to adjust our indebtedness in so far as this is practicable. If a loss must be taken, the sooner the better. The smaller under such cir cumstances will be the aggregate of the loss. Having done this, we should then nlan to economize along all lines. We have accustomed our selves to many luxuries are not essential. It will not hurt us to go back in this respect to prewar condi tions. There should be no slackenin'” off in the effort of the producer. There should be a re-adjustment of course of farm operations. Diversification is more desirablk now than it has ever been. If there ever •was a time when every animal and every acre should be used in production as economically and as skilfully as pos sible it is now. Because cotton is off in price, should we abandon the cultivation of cereals in Georgia? I say no. a thou sand times no. We will still need bread and grain for our live stock next spring. This is a time to ex ert ourselves to the utmost raising our own bread foods at home and all the grain needed for our animals. If we do this, we will have added sev eral cents to the value of every pound of cotton compared with what we will receive if we fail to pro duce our own cereals. Cereals make our most desirable hay crops. It is needless to point out that we spent millions of last year’s cotton crop for hay and grain. We must of necessity save this money under present conditions- We should proceed to plow and prepare our land for corn this fall. Now is the accepted time for the destruction of the boll weevil on the most ex tensive and effective basis possible. Let us break the land intended for cotton immediately and all the other land we possibly can before Christ mas. There should be a good fall garden planted on every farm. -This will help reduce the cost of living very materially. A good garden is worth at least $50,000 a month to the aver- age householder. We will have just as many people to feed next year as we have ever had. So let us not neg lect the importance of the home gar den. We should give our live stock bet ter attention and consideration. We should diversify along this line as well as in crop growing. We will still need meat and animal products in the future as we have in the past. We should make an effort to clean up the farm and destroy weeds and trash so as to minimize the number of satisfactory hiding places not on ly for weevils but the millions of other insects which preyed so se riously on our farm crops this year. We should be giving attention now to the selection of the best varieties of cotton, corn and seed of our other standard farm crops for planting next season. We should be cleaning up the orchid, spraying it when nec essary and putting it in position to yield the maximum amount of fruit for next year. There are a thou sand ways in which we can and should busy ourselves with advant age, with profit and success. over spilled milk” is a waste of time. Life is all in the future. We may be hurt momentarily, and there may be a shrinkage in values, but it will be only temporary. It will not destroy us. We are econo mically sound at heart. There may be a let-up in business, but the life, trade and industry of the country has not stagnated as yet. Our out look toward life and our attitude in the next twelve months are to be the determiring factor in the situation. This Is a time when courage, economy and industry mean every thing. Let us meet the situation cheerfully, forcefully and with san ity. We have had far more difficult and trying situations to confront in the past. Now is the time to be brave and forward-looking. This is the policy that always wins. When and How to Seed Eespedeza H. T. 8., Quitman, Ga., writes: I wish to know what is the proper time for seeding lespe deza for a pasture for hogs. How much seed should be used and what type of soil is best suited for it? Lespedeza is one of the most val uable of the clovers adapted to the south. It is presumed to have been imported from Japan many years ago. It does especially well on our southern soils. It naturally makes a more vigorous growth on rich land than on poor. On rich soil It grows upright and will yield fairly good cuttings of hay. On thin soil it has a creeping habit, but neverthe less makes an excellent pasture on this type of land. It may be sown either in the fall or in the spring and about twenty-five pounds of seed should be used per acre. Har row it into the ground 'to a depth of one and one-half to two inches. The deeper covering is desirable on the lighter types of soil. The land should then be rolled so as to pro vide a fine seedbed. This clover may be used for pur poses of green manuring as it be longs to the family of legumes and so enriches the land on which it is grown. It is too valuable from my point of view for grazing purposes on lands which are intended to be kfipt in permanent pasture for some years. It may be sown on Bermuda sod with excellent results. It makes a considerable part of its growth at the same time the Bermuda is growing. The combination, however, makes a very excellent pasture. In south Georgia one may seed this crop in the fall. In middle Georgia and north Georgia, in the spring. Growing- Crimson Clover Without liime P. E. J., Brooklet, Ga., writes; Can I grow good crimson clover without liming my land? The soil is deficient in lime. Would also like to sow some alslke and bur clover. Any information you can give me on these clovers will be appreciated. Crimson clover does very well oc casionally on land which has not been limed. We take this to be the exception, however, rather than the rule if we may judge by our expe rience. In many sections where crimson clover has been grown suc cessfully in the south there are out croppings of limestone, and a good deal of the soil devoted to this crop contains more calcium than most of our Georgia soils. If I had the crim son clover seed on hand and could not get the crushed, raw lime rock immediately, I would not hesitate to sow It. But if I were so situated that I could apply a ton of lime rock per acre, I would prefer to use it before seeding this legume. I would not use alsike or bur clover with Crimson clover. The ywill not mature at the same time, and there is nothing to be gained by seeding them together. Alsike clover is best adapted for growth on low, moist lands. Bur clover should have been sown last July or August. It can be seeded now, it is true, but it is not likely to make any appreciable growth the first year even under fa vorable circumstances. Hence, you gain absolutely nothing from my point of view by sowing it with crimson clover. Crimson clover may be sown with oats, wheat or rye for hay production. It gives bot tom to these crops. You can, of course, use crimson clover and hairy vetch with any of the legumes. We have never followed this practice to any extent as we prefer to seed either one of the crops mentioned with our winter growing cereals rather than to combine them. Managing an Asparagus Bed N. M. P., Gainesville, Ga., writes: Please tell me what to do for an asparagus bed now. The plants are waist high. If my asparagus bed were cover ed with Bermuda grass I would pro ceed to get rid of it as expeditious ly as possible. It will not hurt to cut the asparagus tons down now even with the ground. You can then remove the grass with a hoe. You should rake the roots out of the soil after they have been cut out of the ground and destroy them by either thoroughly composting or burning them. We prefer the former meth od. It takes more time, and is a slower process, but nevertheless is more effective in the long- ’•un. Aft er you have gotten the asparagus brush and the grass off the bed, pro ceed as follows: Mulch it with barnyard manure at the rate of twenty tons per acre. The manure should be well rotted. Where it has been composted, it is quite likely that most of the weed seeds which it may contain will have been killed. This is a very desir able end to attain. The compost should be dug lightly, but uniformly into the surface of the asparagus bed. In the early spring we would cover the bed with salt, put on at the rate of two to five pounds per acre. The salt should be raked into the surface soil. When the aspara gus begins to sprout out in the spring you may fertilize the bed at the rate of 500 pounds or more per acre. A ; good formula will be one containing 4 per cent of nitrogen, 9 per cent of phosphoric acid and 4 to 5 per cent of potash. The fertilizer should be worked into the surface of the ground. Storing Late Vegetables The storing of late vegetables is ! often profitable for those who grow ! them in sufficient quantities for ! marketing, giving the grower the (direct benefit of the winter price. To i care for the surplus vegetables in I many cases requires nothing more i than the use of existing facilities in ior near the home. W'hen consider able quantities of vegetables are to be stored, it is frequently advisable (to construct permanent storage facil ities in the form of a storage room in the basement of a dwelling or un der an outbuilding or to build an out door cellar of wood or masonry. If permanent facilities are not avail able. late root crops can be kept in outdoor pits or banks, requiring no cash outlay except for labor. Anybody can take subscriptions to The Tri-Weekly Journal in spare time and earn extra money. Ask us how to do it. Proper Pen for Bull Gives Complete Safety Arid Benzfits Animal “Far too many valuable bulls are being lost to the dairy world be cause they become ugly or dangerous to handle,” remarked an agent of the Dairy Division, United States department of agriculture, who re cently returned from a field trip. It is true that bulls are dangerous, •especially the older ones, and none of them should be trusted; but it is not until a bull has reached full ma turity, with the resulting size and temperament which make him hard to handle, that his worth as a sire can* be proved. Selling bulls as soon as thev begin to lose "the gentleness of immaturity simply means that breeders must forever rely on un tried sires, and it is merely a mat ter of luck whether the resulting off spring is good or not. A Characteristic Quality “Dangerous as a mad bull” is a proverb. Yet it must be remember ed that such madness is a character istic quality of bulls. Not only some bulls, but all bulls, are subject to outbursts of violence from time to time. These do not necessarily signify fither craziness or anger on the part of the bulls, but often sim ply the aggressiveness which in dicates vigor and good health. What is called ugliness, therefore, may be mere playfulness. On the other hand, sometimes a bull may become really ugly, show ing a desire to fight and destroy. But whether the animal’s behavior is due to playfulness or bad temper makes no difference. In either case the bull should not be trusted, but a proper pen will make it unneces sary to lose a valuable bull by sell ing him for beef simply because of his refractory conduct. This char acter merely mean s that the bull should be kept and handled in such away that the owner (or keeper, if it is in a bull association) is not ex posed to attack. This object can be attained by keeping the animal in the right sort of house and ] en. Such a pen has recently been de vised and described by specialists of the dairy division. Fear of ugly bulls has been one difficulty which organization of bull associations Maple Sap Producers Save Tremendous Sum By Co-operative Plan ITHACA, N. Y.—Saving their mem bers in some cases as much as sfb,ooo through the co-operative sale of ma ple . sap products, the various co operative associations throughout the state are being chalked up at the office of the state federation of farm bureaus here as being among the most successful co-operative agricul tural enterprises attempted in New- York. So well are the sap producers pleased, it was stated at the federa tion office here that they are going out after definite cost records so they can know what price they should re ceive for maple syrup and sugar to give them a fair profit and at the same time play fair with the con sumer. A series of conferences of sap pro ducers has been held about the state, including meetings at Malone, Watertown, Oneonta and Olean. Re ports at these conferences showed that prices received the last year by various growers and co-operators have varied by more than a dollar a gallon. In some places the product had moved readily and in a few places it was not yet sold. ’ However, the experience of the producers who had co-operated wa» uniformly good; the members in one county estimated that their associa tion had made over $2,500 for them. Another association felt that they had made a saving of 26 cents a gallon on 39,000 gallons, or about SIO,OOO in all. It was the sentiment of every conference that more co operative bodies should be organized and these in turn federated into a state-wide organization.

In view of these facts it has been recognized that it is needful to have a pen which will make it easy and reasonably safe for the breed er to keep and care for the fiercest bull by avoiding the necessity of coming into contact with the animal without the protection of a fence. It is always unsafeto count upon the good disposition of any bull whatever. No bull is to be trusted. The pen which has been devised, however, lessens the danger to such an extent that the question whether a bull should be kept in service may be decided on the ground of his value as a sire, and not with reference to whether he is good natured or ugly. Essential Features The essential features of the plan are (1) to feed and water the bull without entering his stall; (2) to have a large yard for him to exercise in, built so that he can not break out, but of easy exit for anyone go ing into the yard; and (3) to havo an adjustable gate, by means of which the bull can be turned into his exercise yard, into the breeding stall, or into the stable, and held there at the keeper’s will, without the keeper h. ving to enter the in closure. Then, when the bull is let out into tne yard, he can be shut out there while his stable is cleaned. When a cow is placed in the breed ing stall, the handling of the bull can all be done from the outside, where the keeper is entirely safe. If it is deemed desirable to keep the bull in on end of the cow stable during the winter, the specially con structed yard can be built on the outside /f the cow stable. This style of bull pen keeps the keeper safe. It also keeps the bull safe from the butcher. Plans for the safe-keeper pen will be supplied by the Dairy Division, United States Department of Agriculture, Wash ington, D. C., to those who have bulls ih charge. Factors of safety in fencing th» yard are also pointed out in connection with these plans. Farm Production Not Keeping Pace With Growing Population Crop production in this country in 1919, as estimated by the bureau of crop estimates of the United States department of agriculture, was 11 per cent above the average of the pre war years 1910-1914, and this was not previously equaled except in 1915, when the production was 16 per cent above the average. Late in the grow ing season of 1920 the production of crops was apparently 13 per cent above the average. A tale of another sort is told when crop production is compared with population. During the last thirty years the largest per capita produc tion was in 1898, when it was 12 per cent above the average of 1910-1914. In most of the years from 1896 to 1915 per capita production was above the average. The highest point, how ever, reached since 1915 has been the average of the five years men tioned, and this was done in 1917 and apparently in 1920. Notwithstanding the great mass of the crops of 1920, they are, after all, no greater than the average when compared with the great mass of an increasing popula tion. of production of maple sap products and to get at least twenty producers to keep records of the costs of the 1921 crop. The sap producers likewise will ob tain prices from the G. L. F. Ex change on pooled orders for con tainers and have asked the Farm Bureau Federation for a news serv ice on prices during the maple sugar season. It was felt that a bulletin from the State College of Agriculture on the maple sap industry would be of benefit. Don’t mies thi» chance to cut your tire cert 1 50% and more.
