C.J M f! 19 Cleaning, Pressing and Repairing ; Proper and Satisfactory E ■ Buyers Flocking To New York For Fall Merchandise BUSINESS NOT LARGE BUT INDI CATIONS POINT TO BIG DE MAND THIS MONTH (By James Allerton.) New York, June 14—Buyers are flocking into this market to purchase their fall merchandise and jobbers and wholesalers report that while the volume of fall business is not ex tremely large as yet, indications point to an excellent demand this month. The textile plants in this section have shown little change in the volume of output but prices are firm and distribution is on a slightly wider scale. The silk business which has been dull, is picking up. Orders still are for small amounts but their number is increasing steadily. In creases in prices of woolens and wor steds not previously advanced, by leading producer, were fully expect ed and have served to stabilize the market. The cloak and suit trade is begin ning to purchase furs for trimming purposes and manufacturing furriers are receiving good orders from their salesmen and buying raw skins in in creased volume. Demand for hides leather has increased in this market and higher prices are the rule. Ac tive buying of shoes at retail has not been apparent but purchases by re tailers have been more frequent re cently. Bathing suits are moving rapidly and knit goods in general show a more active tendency. Cigar manu facturers are doing little business and are purchasing leaf tobacco only for immediate needs.

Why Farmers Do Not Raise Seeds Some of the reasons why every farmer does not raise and plant his own seeds and thereby save for him self the profit others usually derive in selling him seeds are as follows: His fields may be foul with noxious weeds; soil, climatic, and other con ditions on his farm may be unfavor able for seed production in a given year; altitude, latitude, or rainfall in his locality may preclude the produc tion of a particular kind of seed in any year; he may bp able to buy bet ter seeds at a lower cost than can be produced in his locality; he may find it more profitable to grow a crop for hay or forage purposes than for seed production; he may not have the facilities for harvesting, cleaning, curing, or otherwise preparing bis seed for planting purposes; he may need seed of a crop that has not been grown by him for several years; and he may have to replant his fields either with the same kind of seed, his supply of which may have been exhausted with the first planting, or with seed of some catch crop. Mid-Summer Farm Hints Don’t forget that shallow cultiva tion of the corn crop should continue until after the corn is in tassel. Keep the peanut crop free of grass and livestock until the ground is wel covered with vines, after which time if close planting has been practiced the crop will take care of itself. Prepare to increase hay and fee< crops. Plant some leguminous crop, preferably cowpeas or peanuts, on all land not previously planted. Black-eyed and Crowder peas, pole beans and bush lima beans planted now (in June), will come in at a time when other vegetables are scarce. Don’t throw away your cigar or cigarette when crossing a bridge with a wooden floor, advises the Unitec States bureau of public roads. It may start a fire that will destroy the jridge. Many such fires are started. Most of them are put out with small damage, but occasionally a large structure is destroyed. Don’t throw away lighted cigarettes in the woods. Canning and preserving fruits and vegetables should be the order of the day on every farm. If you haven’t a home orchard, plan now on planting one next fall. Don’t forget to provide plenty of shade and good clean water for the livestock this summer. Don’t leave farm machinery expos ed to the weather. Exposure to sun and rain for one season will damage farm implements more than would be the cost of a shelter that will pro tect them for several years. Agricultural News Sent By Radio Arrangements for broadcasting the weather, crop, and market news by radiophone from Memphis, Tenn„ Jacksonville, Fla., Rosewell, N. Mex„ and Milwaukee, Wis., have recently been made by the department, Agri cultural news is now being broadcast from 41 stations in the United States, Pertinent Facts Worth Knowing It may not be generally known that a good deal of the condensed milk on the market is of the “filled” va riety, that is cocoanut oil is substi tuted for the real butter fat, and the vitamines that make milk an import ant food product are not present in the oil. Meat proteins have superior nutri tive value because they more closely resemble the tissues which are to be nourished than do other proteins and can be used with less loss. The lead ing pathologists of the United States agree that meat eaten in moderation during health is not known to cause any disease. Besides the valuable food properities found in meat, vege tables eaten with it are much more palatable. Fresh eggs are credited in a mar ket item with having made a “start ing advance.” Eggs are like that, though. You get an egg and it eith er astonishes you by Its excellence or startles you with its depravity. There is nothing in life as bad as a bad egg. ertile eggs will astonish you much sooner than infertile eggs. There is no need of roosters in your flock ex cept in the breeding season. Domestic Demand For Garden Seed The world war has had a far-reach ing effect upon the domestic demand for vegetable seed and certain kinds of field seed. By means of the pub licity given to war gardens by the various agencies of the government and by seedsmen and periodicals, a greater demand for vegetable seed arose than was ever before experL enced. People in cities who had never planted gardens were influ enced to “do their bit” toward solv ing the food problem by making gar dens. Although it is true that in some localities the sales of seed to market gardeners decreased, this was more than offset by the small sales to the vastly increased number of amateur gardeners. Japan ranks fourth in the consump tion of American cotton, according to recent compilations, being surpass ed only by the United States, Great Britain and Germany. In the con sumption of India cotton it is second taking nearly two-thirds as much as India itself. In the total of all cotton consumed, over one billion pounds, Japan ranks third, following closely the United Kingdom, yet taking only one-third the quantity used in Amer ican mills. In the half year ending July 31,1921, Japan was the world's second largest consumer of cotton, excelling the United Kingdom, which at that time was experiencing a marked depression in its cotton man ufacturing industries.
