'Wayne of Delavan. 111., in his annual address, spoke of some of the evils of the trade. lie suid the rail roads should be prevented from raising the carload minimum, now 4O.UII0 pounds; that for the protection of the shipper. Interest on grafts should ccaae when grain is Inspected, not when it is un loaded; that circulars sent out by In dividual f.rmw, prophesying the fluctua tions of the market are an abomination to the trade, because they create a preju dice In the public mind; that private crop reports are a menace to the trade, be cause their only purpose Is to cause fluc tuation in the market. The great hobby of the association Is the adoption of uniform rules for the trade by all arain exchanges of the country; on the &rnuud that lack of uni formity demoralize! the trade. "If the exchangeu themselves will not adopt uniform rules,'' said Mr. Wayne, "then 11 is up to the association to ask the government to compel them to do it." Plan to Increase Crops. H. IL Gross, president of the National Boll Fertility league, which has a plan to Increase American , crops J100 per capita jer year, at an expense vi W cents per capita per year, expla ncd his plan to the grain men as follows: "The farm bulletins of the government are too technical; they do not tell the farmer what he needs to know; the In formation is too general, and it is not clothed in the language of the farm. "The next step In agriculture Is to send out into every agricultural county a trained agriculturist, or soil chemist, to study local conditions and co-operate with the farmers In putting the knowl edge into practice on the respective farms. This man uhould give his whole 'time to this work, going from farm to farm, from' community to community. This plan has been tried In a nde.rately large way In the south and has been wonderfully successful. "The National Boll Fertility league was formed to keep tills matter before the public until the federal government and the state shall join in sufficient appro priations so that the colleges of agri culture may undertake this extension work as a port of their regular duties. "The plan was enthusiastically en dorsed by President Taft lit his address at the Conservation congress at Kansas City, September Z. Mr. Bryan and nearly all the speakers' at the congress gave the plan enthusiastic support. The presi dents of the agricultural colleges are a unit In Indorsing it."
