PLAN STANDARD FIXED
PRICE ON FARM PRODUCTS
Boston, Nov. 10.—The establish
ment of nation wide selling organiza
tions which shall fix the price of farm
products, if the farmer does not re
ceive the same pay for the same hours’
work that others receive, was pre
dicted by Sherman J. Lowell, of Fred
onia, N. Y., master of the national
grange of the patrons of husbandry,
in ypening the annual convention of
the grange.
“We are willing to have a fair un
derstanding of values; the farmers re
ceiving the same pay for the same
hours’ work that others receive, no
more, no less, but we feel that this is
the last call,” he said. “If no atten
tic’i b paid to this now by bankers,
nr •ifacturers, railroads and labor or
g-'tiza'ions and if the government
continues to use its great power to im
port jraw material free of duty to re
duce costs then the grange will be the
first to help organize nation wide sell
ing organizatons wheh shall fix the
price of farm products.
“There is no threat in this; we will
have been driven to it in self defense
to preserve our agriculture.”
Mr. Lowell rejoiced that labor has
been able to secure a much higher rate
of wage, but added:
“We little expected that they would
turn and demand cheaper food from
us, without first ascertaining the cost
of production and thereby proving
whether or not we were taking too
large a margin of profit.”
The master declared that the great
changes that have taken place since
the beginning of the war have been
to the disadvantage of agriculture and
many laws and rulings of our national
government have proven of injury to
the farmers.
“We have searched faithfully to
find one law or ruling to our advan
tage and failed to find it. We have
urged for a fair show, but all our ef
forts have met with a like fate.”
Mr. Lowell said the recent census
showed a net decrease of 100,000 farms
in seven states and he charged the at
titude of the man in legislative halls
and departments of government was
responsible to a large degree for this
condition. “So long as we remain pas
sive this state of affairs will conitnue,”
he declared.
Concerning taxation, he said:
“There is but one equitable form of
taxation and that is when every form
of wealth pays its just proportion of
taxes. There is no tax more just than
an income tax, for it is never a charge
against any one who has no means
to pay.”
He spoke against the single tax and
the idea of placing a government land
tax of one per cent on the land in
plaoe of taxing large incomes. Both
would be disastrous to agriculture, he
said.
“Another equally erroneous idea,”
he continued, “is the one of heavy tax
on all unimproved land holdings, for
if this was done and they were forced
on the market by reason of such a tax
(which is the intent) it would cause
the depreciation of farm lands 50 per
cent., from the fact that there is more
improved land than men to work it
now.”
NEBRASKA NOVEMBER 1,
CROP REPORT
A corn crop ranking first in both
yield and production since 1905 leaves
no argument to the fact that “Corn is
King” in Nebraska this year. Accord
ing to the- November 1 report of A. E.
Anderson of the Bureau of Crop Esti
mates and Leo Stuhr of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, the preliminary
estimate of yield is 34 bushels per
acre. Last year the yield was 26.2
bushels and the ten year average is
23.7 bushels. The total production is
250.988.000 bushels as compared to
184.186.000 bushels last year and the
ten yea» average of 178,036,000
bushels. This year’s crop ranks fifth
in size since 1865.
Even though this year’s corn crop is
approximately 36.4 per cent larger
than last year’s production, its total
value is about 32 per cent less based
upon prices now and a year ago.
Burt, Dodge, Douglas and Fillmore
counties share alike in first honors with
average yields of 45 bushels per acre.
Other counties averaging 40 bushels
to 44 bushels are Dakota, Stanton,
Hamilton, Sarpy, Saunders, Seward
and Washington. The quality is gen
erally good although there was a slight
damage to some late corn from frost.
The quality as well as yields was re
duced somewhat from drouth in north
central counties. Approximately 7
per cent of last year’s crop is still on
farms.
The average weight per measured
bushel of winter wheat is 57.5 pounds,
spring wheat 53 pounds, oats 33.3
pounds and barley 47 pounds. The
light tests of wheat, particularly
spring wheat are due to shrinkage
caused by black stem rust.
Potatoes average 97 bushels per
acre according to the preliminary esti
mate of yield. Last year they aver
aged 55 bushels. The total production
is 10,088,000 bushels as compared to
the ten year average of 8,592,000
bushels. Some of the counties have
lower yields than expected.
The average yield of flax is 8 bu.
The condition of sugar beets at'the
time of harvest was 100 per cent. The
total production of apples is 45 per
cent.
The condition of most of the winter
wheat and rye is excellent. Winter
wheat was damaged by drouth and
high winds in some of the counties.
Preliminary estimates for the
United States are as follows: Corn
3.199.126.000 bushels compared to 2,
917.450.000 bushels last year and 2,
876.645.000 bushels the 1914-19 aver
age. All wheat, 750,648,000 bushels
compared to 940,987,000 bushels last
year and the 1914-19 average of 842,
036.000 bushels. Oats 1,444,362,000
bushels compared to l,402,064r,000
bushels last year and 1,386,850,000
bushels the 1914-19 average.
NO INCREASE IN PRICE.
The State Journal is the only big
state paper that has not raised its
prices. Still being mailed at the old
rate of $5.00 a year without Sunday,
or $7.00 with the big Sunday paper.
The publishers hope it will not be nec
essary to make an increase and will
fight it off as Tong as possible. Every
body should help to get down to a
moderate basis of prices. You will
admit that $5.00 a year for a great
daily like the State Journal is not
profiteering. It’s the cheapest thing
you buy. The Journal satisfies the
needs of the whole family. It is less
partisan and more independent than
any other state paper. It prints all
the news that's fit to print and is
filled with many exclusive features.
The coming session of both the State
and National Legislatures will be of
unusual interest. The Journal for
fifty years has devoted more space to
Nebraska news than any other paper.
Prepare for the long winter by send
ing in your order for the Nebraska
State Journal now.

A Secret Between Their..
Detective William J. Bums was de
fending to a reporter his policy cf
silence in a bank robbery case. ''
“Remember,” said the famous de- ^
tective, “the case of Judge Bryan. „
Judge Bryan, you know, had a num
ber of hams stolen from his smoke
house. He missed them at once, but
said nothing about his loss to any
body.
“A few days after the robbery, a
neighbor hailed him and said:
“ ‘Judge, I hear ye had some hams
swiped the other night.’
“ ‘Yes, that’s right,’ said Judge
Bryan in a low, confidential tone, ‘but
don’t tell anybody, George. You and
I are the only ones who know any
thing about it.’ ”
