However, it has been found that even undei» favorable sledding conditions the cotton sled will Irave seme cotton in the field, principally since it does not recover the cotton which has fallen from the plant and that cotton which has been sledded or snapped usually sells for less than piclred cotton. —X Kinship Of Farm Tenant And Land lord Significant Farm tenancy has steadily increas ed since 1880, when the census first made a separate enumeration of own ers and tena. ts, until row tenant faimers ccmpri*' 33.G per cent of all farmers in the Un ted States. While the rate of increase has not been sc large in the la t decade, except in certain * ctions the country, the akeady large per centage cf tenant farmers is viewed with apprehensior by some who fear a tenant argicul- turc. It is therefore desirable to know who the tenants are and something of their opportunities for becoming la r. downers. Tenants who rent farms from relatives are much more 1 kely to be intie:«sted in the farm and the cr*nmunity than those who are rent- irjg from non-relatives, cays the Fourteen Chevrolet Factories Running At Record Pace W’ith production in fourteen great Chevrolet f actor'os running at a rec ord pace for this period of the year and sales continuing at the highest summer level in the history cf the company, W. S. Knudsen, president of the Chevrolet Motor Company and R. H. Grant, vice-president in charge cf sales, left Detroit last week for a three weeks’ business tour of the en tire vr stern half of the United States. In the course of the tour, which will include the leading bus ress centers of the wesj the Chevrolet ex ecutives will visit with Chevrolet dealers in each community, discuss individual dealer problems and study local business conditions as they per tain to Chevrolet. Before leaving Detro’t, Mr. Knud- Inside*’ Information A mint flavored gelatin is ap. etiz- ing with cold lamb. Sliced cucumb ers may be placed in the bott .m of the mold.

United States Department of Agri- se n announced that production in the W’hat was probably the first “sire exchange” in the United States was held this year at the State Fair grounds in South Dakota, when live stock owners brought in their boars, rams, and bulls for trade or sale. To cover incidental expenses there was a charge of 25 cents for each boar culture. A study of landlords in dicates that 84 per cent of tenants related to landlords in the North and West are either sons or sons-in-law; in the South the comparable figure is 60 per cent . The son or son-in- law may pay the same rent as any .• her renter, but he has some inter est in the farm, and in most cases in the community. Among the States in which the number of tenants is, large, Wiscon sin has the highest per centago relat ed to the landlord, approximately 4,0 per cent, while North Dakota is the lowest, with slightly mere than 20 per cent. In more than half the counties of the Central States above 30 per cent of the tenants are related to theii- landlords. In the extreme Eastern and in the far Western States a larger proportion of coun ties have a lower per centage of re lated tenants. The fact that so Ijarge a proportion of tenants are relatives cf their land lords is significant, says,the depart- rnrnt, because such tenants are likely to have a degree of concc.'n in the upkeep and care of farms comparable with that of an owner operator, and many are operating as tenants pre- paratoey to assuming the full owner ship of the property by inheritance or some other mode of acquisition. X Little Talk On Thrift FALLACY TO ASSUME THAT FU TURE WILL BE BETTER TIME TO BEGIN SAVING THAN PRESENT (By S. W. Straus, President American Society for Thrift.) first seven months of the year to August fiitet totalled 869,297 cars and trucks, breaking by a wide mar gin all former marks fee this per iod and definitely indicating that the millionth car built in 1928 will come off the production line .early in Sep tember. More than 800,000 of the “Bigger and Better” models are r.ov in the hands of owners. Included among the cities to be visited on the executive tour arc the following and will be visitrd in this (•kler: Chicago, Kansas City, Lo r Ar.gelcs, Oakland, San Francisco Portland, Seattle, Spokane, Butte and Minneapolis. In Kansas City, Mr Knudsen and Mr. Grant will check the progress t'f construction work on the newest Chevrolet assembly plant new rising in that city. When com pleted this fall it will have a capacity of 350 cars a day and will bring Chevrolet’s production facilities up to 1,250,000 units annually. The party will return to Detroit September first in t’me to witness the production of the millionth Ch?v- lolet of 1928 about ten days later. X Paper Mulch In creases Yields Each child’s costume should have at least erne pocket. If poe’ets on the dress spoil the design or if they cannot bo used because of plaits or some other feature, make/o^e in the bloomers. Make both bloomers and dresses for little girls large enough to allow fer wide tucks and hems to be let down wher the material shrinks and the child grows. A tuck in the bloom ers on a level with the lower **r.d of the plackets will not show, nor will a wide tuck in the underwaisr of a two-piece dreis. Instead of stitching these allowance tucks just .'nee, stitch them every half inch A their width with a moderately long loose stitch. Each time a st'tcfcing is rip ped out one inch is added to the length. One of the sayings of Poor R‘ch- ard was: “A man may, if he knows net how to save as he gets, keep his nose all his life to the gi'indstone. and die rot worth a groat at last.” If you are not saving monpy today, dc rot make the mistake of believing that time will make the beginning easier. Even though ycur income may increase and ycur general cir cumstances in life become more pros perous, you will lind it just as hard to save money later as now.- One the most serious mistake made by many is the assumption that at some time in the future it will be easier to' save money and get ahead than it is at present. Human experience has shown that even with the attainment of a larger income, one is no more apt ta sav."' than before because when the in come grows the standard of living is quite apt to rise in even greater pro portion. Saving is not so much a matter of income or financial position as it is a question of inciinat’cn. Deter mination rather than material cir cumstances is the ’deciding factor. The man who goes along from day to day without saving is making the task harde:’ for himself. He is paying a usurious interest for his procrastination which may some day completely crush and overwhelm him. He is undermining his character, vitiating his will and gambling his time against fate. The saving of a small amount cf money today makes one better equip ped to save something tomorrow or next week. We are made stronger in character, and have the inspira tion of our bank account, our invest ment securities or some other con crete evidence of our progress. The hardest dollar of all to save About 15 years ago it occurred to the manager of a sugar plantation in Hawaii that, since the trash ct c:cp refuse collecting on top of the sugar cane acted as a suppressor of weeds, a cheap grade of paper would have the same effect and at the came time be much more durable. In con nection with the development of the use of this paprr mulch, :'t was no ticed that areas mulched with paper nreduced more vigorous crop plants Later the mulch was tried on pine apples with such rapid and maiked success that today more than 90 per cent of Hawa'tan pineapples are grown under mulch, one company ir the past year having spent $500 000 for mulching paper. These favorable remits led the Department of Agri culture to carry on experiments covering the past four yea:s, wntl p^per mulch f.i various crcps, and wh it* some factors in connection with its use are not yet well known, it is evident that the use of a paper mulch markedly stimulates growth (at least under conditions in the Easterr States). An impervious paper*mulch also tends to permit an increased water supply in the surface soil. In the case of a light rain (which, with out the paper, would only moisten the top layer and be qu'ckly lest) the paper allows the water to pen etrate to the plant roots. In add! rion, the use of the paper consider ably lessens the labor of weeding. The bulk of the v^eding is confined to the early season’s growth and practically all the weeding and eulti- vaticOi in hot weather is eliminated At the present time the chief objec tion to the paper mulch is its ex pense. Watch your posture while at vari ous household tasks. Keep you:! back straight and herd from the I.lps. Do not slcUch in a chair while sitting at work. Sit well back in you. .hair. If your tabi?a : sink, tubs, and other surfaces where you work n great deal are not the right height and cause you to stoop over, see whether they could not be raised. It pays even to have plumbing fixtures rais ed when necessary to save 'atigue. Machinery that is used in field or forest, such as engines or tractors, should be in such shape that sparks cannot get out of the smokestack or burning particles of carbon blow out, and thus set fire to the dry brush, timber, grasr« on grain. The ground should be cleared down to the miner al so 1 for a distance of several feet around a stationary .engine, and it is well to wet down the ground arounc it at least twice a day. t\j Tw<. diseases of alfalfa, bacterial wilt and winter injury which have i caused serious losses of alfalfa in is the first one. One dollar saved today is worth > many regions in the past few years, many theoretically saved tomorrow —a day which never comes. ix: Breakage of milk bottles in the United States runs into a loss and ram and 50 cents for each bull. 1 about $30,001*000 annually, and stud- The exchange aroused considerable its arc being carried on by dairy interest and favorable comment and specialists of the Department of Ag- are -described, and recommendations for their control are given, in Circul ar 39-C, “Bacterial Wilt and Winter Injury of Alfalfa.” This circular can of! be secured free fiom the U. £) De partment of Agriculture. tXX One of life’s greatest disappoint created an oppoiftunity for compari-! riculture to find means of reducing | ments canv to the American tourist son and discussion of the merits the various animals. of this breakage, espec'ally in milk who expected to find Rome lighted I plants.* I with Roman candles.
