THE FALLS ClTk' TRIBUNE , FRIDAY , APRIL 3 , 1908. Nebraska Corn Commission. | Having been affronted by the | Nebraska Corn Commsssion , to , effect an organizarion in Rich-'i ' ardson county , I have decided that by publishing the letter from the commission in the county papers , would be the best and quickest way to bring the matter before the farmers. Nebraska is very fortunate in having this exposition within her borders , and every corn grower in the state should make it a matter of personal interest to see that Nebraska is well represented at this exposition. In fact we should be contented with nothing less than placing Nebraska in the very first rank among the corn states. This may also be said of our county. Every corn grower should try to grow corn good enough to send to this exposition. There is no reason why he should not , our soil is second to none in the state ( or other states ) and our climate also is good. The only way I have of finding the inter ested corn growers is to have each one send me his name. This should be done at once as the time is short. FRANK J. RIST. Humboldt , Neb. LINCOLN , NEB. March 10,1908. MY DEAH Sin : It will be the good fortune of Nebraska to have held at her principal city , Omaha , in the fall of 1908 the National Corn Exposition , which was held in Chicago , last year. Upon the initiative of the Ne braska Corn Improvers' Associ ation , aided by funds provided by the Nebraska State Board of Agriculture and assistance of the State University , an organ- nation has been effected for the purpose of placing the State of Nebraska in the front rank among the corn states at the coming exposition. In order to organize the state for a united action , which is the only way to secure success ior Nebraska at the National Corn Exposition , a large amount of money has been secured for special pre miums and for the purpose of assisting the corn growers in various ways to present a creditable exhibit. The first step to be taken is to bring this commission in close touch with every farmer in the state who desires to take an active part in helping our state to put on the greatest exhibit of anyone state in the Union. In order to prevent delay this letter has been sent to you in your county in the hope that you will undertake at once the county organization. Work up interest among your leading farmers and call them together , and de velop a plan by which your county will receive a represen tation in the county exhibit class as a whole , and it is also desirable that your county take its share of prizes on individual exhibits. If you will effect tbi : organization , and the member ; will through their secretary eras as individuals , send in their names to the office of this com mission every effort will be made to give them special ad. vice in regard to the selection of seed , preparation of seed bed tillage , and selection of show corn. To grow show corn it is advisable to select a small patch of about an acre , especially manure it , plant with selected ears and very thin on the land. Tnen give it specinl cultivation through the summer. The object of this first is to come in contact with the enter prising , up-to-date growers , who are willing to enter into this contest. We assure you that every possible assistance will be given you by this office. Act today , and let us hear from you soon. Unless we proceed without delay our labor as well as yours will be in vain. Very truly yours , " v WM. EUNST , ' Chairman NebraskaComrnission. Tom Palmer of Shickley spent part of the week with his parents and many friends in this city. Good Times Back at Sea. New York , March 31 , That the 1 end of the hard times for the sailor is already in sight at every American port was asserted here today 1 on the basis of special re ports ] which have just been re ceived at the headquarters of the American Seamen's Friend Socie ty I from its sixteen branch stations along the Atlantic and Pacific coasts. Where a month ago stranded seamen lay thick over the floors of their shelters each night , sadly wanting work , food and lodging , berths are today being found in steadily increasing umbers among awakening ship- ing interests , the society's agents eclare. I3very prospect exists , n the opinion of these trained laritime observers , for returning rosperity to the sailor man who las barely weathered his hardest vintcr in many years. Prom Seattle , where the work- rs of the society have resorted to mergency relief measures to keep 00 idle sailors alive since last November , it is reported that the ension has already begun to lacken in view of the opening of a brisk Alaska tradeReliel amps and lunch counters have ) ecn filled b } * these refugees from tagnant shipping at this port all vinter. Now signs of returning ife in the seaman's trade are at ast promising to put an end to heir labors , the agents at this 'acific ' branch declare. In Pensacola , at a diagonally jpposite corner of the society's national system of working sta- ions , only twenty sailors are to- lay reported to be still looking or work. Within a week ever3r nan-jack should be shipped , ac cording to present indications. Trom Jacksonville. Tampa , Mo- nle and New Orleans a small irmy of sailors have poured into Densacola looking for a chance to 3hip all winter. Many of them valked barefoot and arrived half- itarved and in rags. This sad nflux of unemployed seamen has completely stopped , the local agent of the society reports , and apparently his hard siege of pro- iding food , shelter and help for he marooned merchantmen of he southern ports is happily ended. Only two-score seafaring men ire today looking for work at Galveston and few of these will be lacking a berih by the end of spring. Prom New Orleans about : hesame report has been received. The branch oi the American Sea- nen's Friend Society at Newport Slews sends the word : "Prospects good ; have been bad all winter. " The same message , with details of the heroic measures which hade : o be taken to tide the sailor through the winter , is coming From other branches of this or ganization in Norfolk , Charleston , Savannah , Port Townsend and Portland. While eyery seamen's shelter in this city has throughout the win ter been crowded with the unem ployed , it was declared by the shipping offices , "crimps" and officers of the sailors' labor or ganization here today that con ditions were beginning to change and new berths open for the sailor along the water front. With the opening of the lake trade , the yachting season and the steady enlivenment in shipping circles , eyery man of the sea is to be as sured of plenty of work. At the headquarters of the American Seamen's Friend Society in this city it was asserted , on experience as well as these reports , from both coasts , that hard times for the sailor had to come to an end "I am inclined to believe that the summer shipping will again return to normal , " said Captain Charles 13. Parsons , ex-president of the Maritime Exchange and a trustee of the American Seamen's Friend Society , today. "I fee very optimistic on the outlook for the immediate future in shipping circles. " Opie Ross , who was called here by the serious illness of his father returned Sunday to his home down in Georgia , An Explanation Wanted , Anent the recent rise in the price ot dressed meat there is a thing the farmer and the meat consumer would like to know. Last fall , when the panic struck , the price of live stock fell so low that the farmers could not afford to send their stock to market. On account , so alleged , of the scarcity of dressed meat which this occasioned the price to the consumer'actually rose at this time. The action of the packers in thus arbitrarily widening the gulf between the price ol live stock and of dressed meat was explained by the state ment that their warehouses were packed full of meat bought at he high prices , and that they mist turn this meat into cash it the old prices before allowing he lower priced meat to reach the market , else they would per- laps be driven into bankruptcy , arge amounts of their paper vas outstanding in the hands of janks , which were pressing for myment. Not to let the pack ers follow this course for the purpose of raising money endan- jered the banks as well as the only means we now have of get ting the farmer's live stock to the tables of the meat eaters. We had to save them to save ourselves. After the worst of the panic was over the price of neat came down somewhat and the price of live stock set in the time of crisis remained virtually it that low point until the short corn crop had forced most of the armers to sell their flocks and icrds at a loss. Lately the price of live stock las turned upward. Immedi ately the price of dressed meat turns upward also. Now the dressed meat which sells at the ligher price is not the product of the small amount of higher priced stull1 remaining in the armors' hands and now going to narket. We learned last fall when stock was being bought cheap and meat sold dear that the two or three months supply icpt stored by the packers had to be turned before today's live stock sales appear in the meat stores. The meat we are now buying at the upward price is : herefore the live stock bought of the farmers at the ruinous ow prices prevailing two or three months ago. Last fall the packers made it clear that it was to our interest to save them by paying prices for meat based on what it cost when bought , rather than on the prevailing price of live stock at the time. Now they ask or rather demand prices compatible with the pres ent higher price of live stock for meat stored when live stock was about a fourth lower in price than it is now. The farm ers and consumers have no ques tion to ask the packers as to why they are thus given the double cross. They assume it is for the same reason why any other persons given the arbi trary control over meat and live stock prices would soak them , namely , because they have the power and they want the money. But what the farmers and the consumers would like to know , and ask the packers to supply is an unwonted omission , to- wit , a nice explanation showing , like the explanation given last fall , just why it is to the inter est of the farmers and the con sumers that they should make this second contribution.
