been a constant source of wonder how the fresh flowers which appear on the dining room tables every day are kept how the milk can be kept perfectly fresh for a period often extending over a week how it is possible to produce ice at any hour of the day or night this is managed through a sys tem of electrical refrigeration that to the layman is a maze of ma chinery seemingly extending all over the ship in every hold ther mometers are to be found as well as in various cold storage rooms j that abound in the ship j tho refrigeration plant consists i of two separate and distinct units that work in shifts and control ot the temperature is managed through a massive control board by which it is possible to maintain different temperatures not only in the cold storage rooms but also in some of the holds it has been found necessary in the carrying of cargoes to keep the refrigerator at certain tempera tures and it will often be found that the temperature ot these vary as much as twenty degrees in this way it is possible to carry a wide variety of perishable cargoes with complete assuraico of their arriv ing at their destination in first class condition as an added protection to ship pers of perishable goods the cun- ardanchordonaldson line have two inspectors from the depart ment ot agriculture place sealed thermographs in the holds of tho various liners carrying these goods prior to the liner leaving upon the arrival of the ship at its des tination another lepresentativo of the department meets the ship and removes the graphs forwarding them to ottawa where they are filed trade by barter revived in states tulsa okla oldiashioned flour and grist mills are grinding again in okiahama and arkansas and farmers hardpressed for cash are finding that grandfathers way of doing business by barter and trade was not such a bad one after all running day and night the grist mills are booming because they offer farmers and millers the oldtime basis of trading wheat tor flour farmers are driving as far as fifty miles to have their grain ground into flour and at aittis and cordell okla gristmill owners are milling wheat hauled up from the texas line in many places the exchange rate is three bushels iso pounds of wheat for 100 pounds of flour sometimes the mills retain the hi an and shorts as payment for milling if the farmer needs the shorts for feed for his live stock he is privileged to pay the mill ing cost in cash or wheat bartering has extended to other crops corn oats garden crops fruits everything that is needed to sustain life a man has a surfeit of one his neighbor has an oversupply of the other ergo they swap in arkansas organizations are form ing to assist the hill farmers in mak ing their trades three elements are present that promise success for the undertaking raw products are abund ant there are many grist mills scat tered through the region waiting only for the grain in order to begin work and the home market is large in other words there is a

have much money in their pockets this winter but they are going to have plery of side pork and canned beans in tneir cellars pchnd solves question of surplus farm products warsaw poland with 07 per cent of its population on the land has suf fered far less from the world economic crisis than germany and other heavily industrialized countries prices of farm products have de clined to such a decree that the in come of farmers has been greatly reduced but instead of selling their foodstuffs at low prices the farmers send them to unemployed relatives or friendjj in industrial centres or invite their jobless relatives and friends to return to the land the government figures for unem ployment vary from 250000 to 300000 or about 1 per cent of the population but the actual number of unemployed is probably greater as thousands have gone back to the farms yet never re gistered for the dole the poles blame business shrinkage upon the unsatisfactory trade relations with germany rather than upon
