U.S. MARKET SERVICE
COVERS GREAT AREA
Million Dollar Bureau Gives
Free Aid to Farmers
Washington.—Every farmer in the
United States has access to a million-
dollar information bureau.
It is Uncle Sam’s market news serv-
ice operated by congressional appro-
priation. Daily, throughout the coun-
try, it correlates the radio, ocean
cables and miles of telephone and tele-
graph wires in distributing quotations.
Allied with the titanic system, co-
operative “listening posts,” clearing
houses of information, are supervised
by the bureau of agriculture econo-
mics. The newest such institution
has been established in San Francis
co, at request of the California Vin-
yardist association. It will gather
data on prices, supply and distribu
tion of grapes.
Lists Number of Carloads.
The information will show the num-
ber of carloads of each variety and
grade sold at different prices. Rail
roads will supply figures on the num-
ber of cars of each variety of grapes
moved to the market. Eastern points
will send supplemental reports every
25 hours on shipments received and
distributed.
Similar plans for the citrus indus-
try were discussed at a conference
here between Secretary of Agriculture
Jardine and Florida representatives.
Georgia peach growers, and producers
of other material crops in all parts of
the United States may likewise avail
themselves of governmental co-opera-
tion during the market season.
“These clearing houses for markel
information,” economists say, “insure
an even distribution of products and
an even tenor in prices. By knowing
where his produce is needed, the ship-
per is not faced with the probability
of a flooded market one day and a
skimped one the next. Steady flow
to the market solves the problem of
individual overproduction and works
to a better average price for each
grower.
“Through the market news service
any part of the country may know
exactly how many barrels, bushels or
pounds of farm products are rolling
to market every hour in the day and
the prices offered at all terminal
points.
The Network of Wires.
“Compilation of such vast knowl
2dge is made possible through uniform
operation of 7,351 miles of govern-
ment-leased telegraph wires, working
12 hours a day. More than 2,000 mar-
ket reporters supply detailed informa-
tion from all principal centers in the
United States and abroad. Cabled in-
formation is obtained from the Inter-
national institute at Rome, to which
90 countries subscribe.
“By telephone at 38 relay points
«nd through more than 100 radio Std
tions every individual or institution
in the land interested in any manner
of produce market reports has con-
stant access to the most complete
quotations in the world.”
Typhoid Germ Lives
Years, Science Learns |
San Francisco. — Disease-causing
bacteria have many devices to perpet-
uate their kind in an adverse world.
Bacteriologists of the Hooper foun-
dation for medical research, Univer-
sity of California, have shown that tet-
anus spores may resist the tempera-
ture of boiling water for 90 minutes,
botulinus in vegetable juices for 5%
hours and those of a closely related
but harmless species for 82 hours.
Other workers have proved that ty-
phoid and other organisms may re-
main alive for years at refrigerator
or lower temperatures.
This happy provision of nature—
nappy, that is, for the bacteria—con-
stitutes a factor of great danger for
man and animals which it is the funec-
tien of scientific research to obviate,
says Dr. George E. Coleman of the
Hooper foundation. ‘“The brilliant
success,” he states, “that has been at-
tained already, in which the experi:
mental use of mice and guinea pigs
has played a large part, is constantly
being proclaimed by statistical evi-
dence of fewer food poisonings and
typhoid fever outbreaks, as well as
by increased protection frem many of
our other microscopic foes.”
Spruce Lumber, Cut for
War, to Be Used in Peace
Port Angeles, Wash.—Millions of
feet of spruce lumber logged and
sawed by government forces during
the latter days of the World war are
now in demand for building the air-
planes of peace, according to numer-
cus inquiries received here the last
two wéeks. The spruce lumber stored
in the war basis sheds to season 1s in
excellent condition for airplane needs
while most of the logs lying in the
assemblying yards are sound as the
day they were felled.
Old Salt Finds Lump of
Ambergris Worth $12,500
Cape May, N. J.—A 28-pound lump
of ambergris—nugget gold of the sea
—was found about 15 miles off shore
here by Jeremiah Pratt, seventy-four-
year-old seaman of the fishing schoon-
er Mary Ann of Gloucester, Mass. The
old seaman said he had been offered
$448 a pound, or about $12,500 for the
foul smelling mass by a New York
perfumer, and intended to use the
money to retire and buy a chicken
farm,

BUY CATTLE NOW
Wild Spending of Sudden
Wealth Stops.
Pawhuska, Okla.—The Osage Indian,
who has been groping around trying
to find some satisfactory way to spend
his oil riches, at last is achieving suc-
cess,
Where seven years ago the Osage
was bewilderedly surveying his bank
book and trying to see how fast he
could spend his mounting wealth on
fancy motor cars, fine clothing and
other gewgaws, he now is contentedly
building fine homes, buying pure-bred
live stock and reaping benefits from
his millions.
The shock of sudden wealth, which
came when oil wells spurted black
gold all over the hill-dotted Osage
prairies, floored the tribe for nearly
ten years. The government stepped in
with a law restricting the disposal of
Indian money to curb the spending
orgy.
Two classes of Indians were estab-
lished by this law—the competent and
the incompetent. The competent In-
dian could draw his full allotment
each quarter, while the incompetent
could draw only $1,000 of his allot-
ment, the remainder going into a trus*
fund at Washington.
Under this law there were certain
ftems, however, for which money
could be withdrawn from the trust
fund. One of these was for the pur
chase of live stock.
Since January 1 figures at the
agency here reveal that more than
$30,000 has been alotted to the re-
stricted members of the tribe for the
purchase of pure-bred live stock. This.
however, is but a small portion of the
total expenditure for this purpose, as
thousands of dollars have been spent
by the competent members of the
tribe.
Henry Tall Chief, a full blood, owns
one of the finest herds of shorthorns
in the state. He has 40 registered
head that cost him $12,000. He owns
a modern home and is one of the lead-
ers in a movement to interest his
tribesmen again in tilling the soil.
Fight for Healthier
Cows Aids Dairy Farms
New York.—Ten years ago the
Department of Agriculture inaugu-
rated a campaign against bovine tuber-
culosis. Opposition was great. What
is at least partial success, however,
was reported by Dr. John R. Mohler,
chief of the bureau of animal indus-
try, at a recent eastern states tu-
perculosis conference. While almost
1,000,000 dairy cattle out of 30,000,(:)0
head tested have been destroyed be-
cause of their tubercular state, he in-
dustry today is in better condition than
it was in 1917, Doctor Mohler said.
Fear expressed by many persons in
the beginning that the campaign
would turn the public taste against
milk consumption proved unfounded,
according to Doctor Mohler, who says
the annual consumption of milk in
the United States has increased more
than forty-nine quarts per capita
since 1918. During 1926 the public
consumed 56,000,000,000 pounds of
milk and cream, an increase of 2,(Kh)-
000,000 pounds over the quantity con-
sumed in 1925.
Society Girl Heads
Personnel Business
New York.—Miss Jessie Jerome
fanshawe, daughter of the late Wil-
dam S. Fanshawe, banker, and well-
known socially, is heading a success-
ful business venture of her own. it
was learned.
She maintains a bureau of personal
service, with a force of workers.
Miss Fanshawe’s service is novel in
¢hat it does things for people that
they ordinarily find troublesome to
do themselves. For instance, she will
close a town house or apartment, af-
ter a family has gone to Europe or
Newport, and then set the house in
order for their return.
She provides chaperons for debu-
cantes during the season in town, and
also fills rush orders from hostesses
who are giving dinners either at their
town or country residences and who
want some form of entertainment,
Recently during a charity drive,
oliss Fanshawe was called upon to
follow up in some way the appeal that
had been made to thousands by letter.
| he immediately put in three special
telephones, engaged girls with “attrac-
tive” voices and 5,000 telephone calls
were made,

of Ireland's products, which will

But Ireland had to go out of
the country for patterns, for

them.
