Combined value of crops per aoi‘o (lie past sea¬

was the lowest since m07. 'lost kimls of lno 
stock arc down to pre-war levels; so is wool,

i-ont weeks A few jireiincts, including smite 
Units amt vegetables, lanihs and cotton, all of 
which lire in cemparatively short supply, are 
selling at prices nhove t,lie general level. As a 
rule, the farmers have had little more money 
titan in 1913 with which to pay hills much 
greHter than in pre-war times. WiigeS and most 
"tlier costs are .Ml per cent greater. 
The farmer lias the -aim old dollar, lmt Ills 
hilts have heen increased to a dollar and a half. 
Accordingly, lie L’oes without s..nte things and 
(int.s off some of his hills. Neither et lliese

grain and live stock are having hard work to 
keep their heads above water. 
CURING HARD TIMES? 
The Agricultural Conferem e in Wushingtoii 
may do more or loss toward Increasing the dol¬ 
lar of the farmer or cutting down the dollar 
and a half whirl) he must pay or go without. 
Pot the greatest ohslaele is somewhat oat of 
roach of politician-, namely, the high, almost 
war-time wages which enter into the production 
..f many produels and make everything cost ihe 
farmer too much. Otjler important itifltiem ■■ -. 
su.-h as high taws ami foreign demand may ho 
lodpcd somewhat hy well eonsiilered political 
action, hut ttie general hopefulness will he tem¬ 
pered somewhat l>y the memory of how com¬ 
paratively little ever happened as a result of 
previous conferences. Hard times always come 
to an end mainly Promise ihe plain people kept 
•i working and saving. Inn there are kinds of 
progress that do imi show in dollars and cents, 
and those may lie furthered bv getting together 
and talking tilings over. 
ST 11 I’M ENTS MODERATE 
Shipments of produce are coming forward nt 
about normal Winter volume, which i- some¬ 
thing like l.nOU earlofs per day. New vegetable* 
from the South are increasing in supply, attract¬ 
ed by the fairly high prices of* such lines as eel 
cry and cabbage. Potatoes and onions are hold¬ 
ing recent advances ipitte well, ami at present 
are free from any important foreign competition 
on new crop shipments. Potatoes comprise 
about one-hulf of the cariot shipments. Trices 
rouge from SI.25 to 82 |jod j| ls :l t shipping 
points, and $11 to S2.A0 in city markets. Onions 
uve reached 87 por ton lbs. in many leading 
market centers for best stock, but there is -..me 
stock not so good -idling down I.. Sit. Largo 
i-ledoo stock is in light supply. Cabbage i- $5 
to sif* below the high prices of (lie season. It is 
feeling tlie compelItini* of new stuck from Texas 
and Florida, mid there seems to he unite liberal 
reserve supply still in New York State and 
Wisconsin. 
Sweet potatoes range from SI .'Jo to $2.50 per 
bn., mostly ind .82 in Eastern cities. 
■ >1-1* IN THE WEST. 
There was unite freeze in Southern Cali¬ 
fornia the third week in January. The orange 
and trucking sections are widely scattered and 
under condition- differing greatly hi respect to 
altitude and protection from frosty conditions, 
hence tin* damage Is likely to he irregular. Ag- 
rienltnral officials on the spot were unable to de¬ 
termine the extent of the damage until fur¬ 
ther Investigal ion. A had freeze would result 
in a good deal of poor quality fruit being 
dumped upon Eastern markets unless the author 
Pie- should stop shipments of damaged fruit. 
There was also unite a freeze in Texas trucking 
sections, which may out down supplies of tender 
vegetables iii middle Western markets.

I note from reports of flocks in the 
egg-laying contests a much higher mor¬ 
tality among Barred Rocks and R. T. 
Reds than good management should pro¬ 
duce. I note that at some of them 20 
ppr cent of the mash is beef scrap. 1 
have had ihe $ame result when I fed 20 
per cent of beef scrap or meat meal in 
the in ash. but T do n.>t have 5 per cent 
loss when I feed 10 per cent, as in the 
Cornell ration, with gluten added. Some 
of my neighbors feed 20 per cent of scrap 
to Leghorns, but none of those who keep 
Reds or Rooks, after a little experience, 
with thp result of hens dropping dead 
with apoplexy. p. M. m:.
