Through, the agency ef the New York state Sheep Growers Co-oper ative association somewhat more than 470,000.. pounds of wool have been assembled and graded during the past four months. These wools were consigned from practically every county in the state where sheep growing is carried on to any extent, ; The individual shipments ranged 25 pounds to 4,000 pounds. The , county consignments ranged from 2 ,- | 000 pounds to 40,000 pounds. The amount pooled dais year is practically the same as the amount pooled in 1923. The 1924 pool year officially closed on August 20, that is, it was adver tised that the wools consigned up to that tinae would be included in the early sales, Wools shipped later may or may not be included in tbe early fall sales, according to F. E. Robertson, manager. On August 28 the mills were informed of the stocks of wool being held by the association at its warehouse in Syracuse. The condition of the wool market has greatly improved since its usual spring and early summer slump and indications point to a probable early sale of the 1S24 wools. In spite of the continued prosper ity in the sheep growing business there is bait little indication of any marked Increase in the number of sheep, the Teeords of the sheep grow ers’ association show. This is as cribed by the association to three possible causes: the prevailing high price for mutton which may cause some farmers to market their fat ewe lambs; lack of experience in the | business; lack of adequate fencing on I the farms- A cause which in this j section is probably responsible more than any of these for depression in the sheep in-dustry is the frequent depredations of sheep-killing dogs. 4 to 14 years School ginghams in plaid checks and plain colors, every style including long and shorter sleeves, straight lines and long waists, self and white trimmed, $2.95- In thinner material for warm school days—Our entire stoek of pongees, tis sues an'd voiles in all the conservative and practical styles, a t .................. $1.95 8 to 14 years Middy Skirts on waist, in blue serge and brown p la id ........ ......................$4.00 6 to 16 years Regulation and -uniform school dresses in l)OX and side plaited models—white braid trimmed—straight line from yoke, and long sleeves,., ........ $4.5C and $5.00 Extra sizes __ - ................ $5.00 aad ?5.S5 15 t® 1? years Junior -dresses im plaids, checks and plain color ginghams, cre-pes and thin- ner materials in straight and waist line effects, long and shorter sleeves, self and white trimmed* a complete stock $2.95 8 to 22 years Bloomers for school, gym or under wear, in black sateen, full plaited models ................................................. $1.50 RuniiuiuttiainiBinutminuunmumtranaiiuutianiutnunnmiitmuiiiiiuiutuaiitmtniiitniiiiinnjutiHnMutiraintiunitiuiiBiuM W oven Name Tapes The simplest manner of m a rking apparel and linen, clearly, ineatly and artistically—A variety o f styles and sizes of lettering in almost any eolor you m a y wish.

WINTER tVING PflyS FIRMER BEST Easier and Cheaper to Produce Milk and Raise Calves in Fall Titan in Spring. Winter dairying pays, according to Professor H. A. Hopper of the. state college of agriculture at Ithaca. He says that with certain exceptions in the cheese sections of New York state the farmer who breeds his cows to freshen in the fall will get more from the volume of cream produced than he would if they freshened in the spring. A study of the prices paid for creamery butter over a period of thirteen years shows that the price paid for butter on the larger markets of the United States has invariably been higher in the fall and winter and lower during the spring and sum mer. Professor Hopper goes further in saying that the fall calf ' is also cheaper to raise because it is fed milk, grain and hay during the win ter months and by spring Is old enough to get much of its feed from pasture, while spring-born calves be fed milk and grain during the summer, and hay, grain and silage the following winter. This makes the spring calf considerably imore at one year of age than the fall calf. Fanners likewise have more time to devote to raising calves during the fall and winter than in tile spring, when the rush of getting in crops demands so much attention. With a fall dairy it is easier arad cheaper to deliver good quality cream, be cause of cool weather, lack of flies and dust, and because the fall-fresh ening cow is fed dry feeds during her period of greatest production. Ail these advantages become disadvant ages in the case of the cow that freshens in the spring. 11 LAND OF THE MORMONS HOLDS MUCH SFINTEEST (Continued from Page 1) low, dropping down by Parleys can- |J^ to sLTtte^ighte, 702 ). You may think a canyon is _ eXpiajn Mormonism, and answer any purely a decorative feature on the l queations. I had toy^leeve full of landscape but when they say canyon (questions but three ministers, one out here they do not mean any jlay^ thing like the Wilmington notch, and nobody intends to lie about the roads when he says they are good, fie simply doesn’t .know what a good road is like. It’s a great temptation though to emphasize all the bad spots to make this sound like a wild, big stunt, but in reality we have encoun tered more endurance tests than actual danger. Plenty of feasible places for suicide of course if one were so inclined) but we want to see California first Salt Lake City, considered as a city, is just b pernickity clean place, with a little stream of clear water running down every gutter of which the na tives are inordinately proud, fine wide streets and a fair proportion of good buildings. Their city blocks are the biggest surprise. “Only three blocks to the square ladies, no need to take ■ car.” Perhaps not but it was nearer two miles than any three blocks. \Wien Bringhara Ypnng laid OBt the place he made each block ten acres, and allowed a corner lot of two aad a half acres to each pioneer. Salt Lake City, considered as the itrme of the Church of Christ of Lat ter Day Saints, is a unique develop turned and asked “Can you hear me 1 mine of the Utah Copper company, now ? ” The tabernacle is an open I the only one 0 £ its kind in the world, forum and men of eveia? faith and be- The whole moantain is being worked lief have spoken from its platform. at the Same time with steam shovels So much for the tabernacle but the and trains on. eighteen levels, yet i big kick came when an exhorter £ook there is said to be enough ore in sight to last sixty years. The ore only pro duces about tlirty pounds of pure copjeT bo the ton but the mining is done on such a big scale that the Utah is producing copp-er at as low a coat as any company in the country, hence the price of the stock on the exchange. Bin gam is one street wide, five miles long or rather np, and has never heard of the Volstead act, according to our driver. It was the toughest, wildest looking town we have sees. Saltair is th* resort out from Salt Lake City -where you go bathing in Salt Lake, and stond on your head because your deet won’t stay down, get salt water in your eyes and mouth, tend conne out swearing that it is perfectly wonderful, nMy but I feel great.” It is a dead sea all right, not a living Shing in it, on it, or aronttd it. The water won’t even do for Irrigation. I should have asked il it -would raise asparagus. Yellowstone Park and the marvel ous drive through western Montana in our next. Presbyterian and two Episcopalians in the crowd asked most of them. The exhorter finally stopped abruptly and said, “There is one subject we are forbidden to bring up unless some person asks a question. What is it?” An old man answered, “Polygamy, of course, that’s all we know about you folks back home. I’m from Missouri.” The lecturer promptly came baek with “Good, I ’ll show yoti.” And then went on to state than less than three per cent of the older members ever had more than one wife, that when congress passed the law forbidding polygamy the church immediately prohibited it and that no man with more than one woman, legally or oth erwise, could be a member of the Mor mon church today, and then he slyly added, “I’m not sure that can be said of every denomination.” My one question, “Is Senator Reed Smoot a Mormon ? ” was just meat for the speaker who had shown the great est cleverness in the subjects he chose to talk about, always emphasizing loyalty to the •Constitution of the United States, brotherly love, and a Christ-like spirit. Senator Smoot is one of the twelve apostles of the Church of Christ of Latter Day ment, the child of one man’s brain, J Saints (the title( Blormon be_ • man who was at the same tame « I ing a nictoame) and he is chairman fanatic, a pioneer and a great execu tive. Temple- square, ten acres, in the center of the city, surrounded by a high stone wall, is the show place and visitors are welcome, in fact urged to attend the musical given every day at noon as a sort of advertisement or drawing card for the religious lecture •or better the exposition of theiT re ligion which comes after. No person mot a full-fledged Mormon is allowed in the temple, the “Holy of Holies,\ but one gets enough in the tabernacle and meeting house to almost counter balance the natural desire to go where you can’t. The tabernacle has a great dome built entirely by hand, not a nail or piece of stone or metal in it, which has the acoustic properties of a Strad* avarius violin. The organ is cMisid- *red one of the finest in the world and the organist is an artist. It had one attachment, new to us, that sounded as if a great choir was inarching slowly toward the taber nacle singing an old Mormon hymn. The building is 300 feet long, with a seating capacity of 10,080, yet a wais- per at one end can be heard so plain ly at the opposite end that yon in stinctively look hack to see who iB speaking. While this was being dein- oBBtrated a man nedr itfe whispered,- » softly, \ I wish he tyoiild'fcurn his tack •'*iidspe4k* • •* v - MUM of the finance committee in the sen ate. Queer mixture in one brain. It all sounded too sane and plaus ible so I bought several books to find out the vagaries, found them too, and time to talk to this exhorter, a Vir ginia man, well educated and well bred. He doesn’t know whether I ’m a heathen ox a Presbyterian, but he has the hallucination that I may be a Mormon some day. The “Story of Joseph Smith” and the “Book of Mormon,” Smith’s reve lation, are either as fascinating as any Greek or Roman mythology, or damnation tommyrot, according to the Gentile reader’s turn of mind. Please go to the nearest encyclopedia and read at least the history of the churchr -for with nearly Bix million adherents it is a factor to \be reck oned with in‘the development of the country. It is absolutely inconceivable to me that any thinking person could believe the teachings of the Mormon church, but they seem to have a fine sense of patriotism, morality,. honesty and kiimueso, do why not let them worship each according to the “dictates of his own conscience.” This is a lot of talk on one subject, but it was a great show, well played aiid cleverly staged, and I'd tike! to outline the Whole plot.

During the past seven or eight years the department of plant breed ing has introduced several improved varieties of wheat, oats, barley, and corn, and these strains ore grown by men whose fields are periodically inspected by the field specialists in plant breeding. To aid in the distribution of the seed, a list has been prepared of the men whose fields passed inspection, and consultation with local farm bu reau agents or with the college at Ithaca will put any farmer in the state in touch with inspected seed of the kind he wants. Likewise the college maintains a system of test plants in eight coun ties throughout the state ss n test of the merits of the different varie ties and also to test new promising sorts.
