Something Worth Knowing
Do you know that corn yields as well
on our land In north Florida as In Ne
braska and grades as well or better and
that velvet beans raised with the corn is
equal In value to the corn as a bog and
cattle food? That most of the corn is
planted after a crop of potatoes, oats, rye,
rape or other winter crop? That stock Is
not subjected to the extremes of heat and
cold as in the north? That no one crop
country cah begin to compete with it. as
a hog and cattle country? That we are
only 60 miles to stock yards and Armour's
and other packing plants? That land Is
still cheap?

CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
Little Belief from Car Scarcity Gives Bulls
Advantage. In Corn Market.
Chicago. Dee. 11. Assertions that but
little actual relief from car scarcity had yet
been witnessed gave bulls an sdvsntage to
day In the corn market Prices closed
firm, o net higher, with January
$1.21 and May $1.19 01-19. Oats
gained o to 11C Provisions finished
unchanged to lOo lower.
Offerings of corn proved exceedingly
small, as the railroads were apparently
crippled by the prevailing cold weather.
Moreover, opinion seemed general that no
great Increass of arrivals would take place
until better weather conditions afforded
material help to railroad efficiency. Under
such circumstances the market hardened
from the outset and bullish sentiment was
further emphasised by correct anticipations
that the final government estimate of the
crop would show a falling off as compared
with the last previous official reports.
Oats like corn received an upward Im
pulse from the unfavorable weather and
from the curtailment of receipts. The re
duction of the government 'crop estimate
w4s not expected, but the announcement of
the new total came too late to be a market
factor.
Provisions advanced with grain, but later
underwent a sag on account of realising hy
holders. The selling Was associated with
predictions of some Increase In th hog

Wave of Liquidation Sweeps
Over Market, Causing Losses
in Many Issues; Frioes
Crumble in Afternoon.
New York. Pec. 11. Another wave of
liquidation swept over the atock market
today, causing losses of 3 to 6 polnta In
many issues. Selling was most active in
tho afternoon when prices crumbled to the
accompsnlmont of disturbing rumors.
Trailing during the early and Intermedl
ate periods was light, but altogether at
the expense of values. Rails were st first
Inclined to Ignore the prospects of govern
mental control, hut soon led a reversal that
gathered greater momentum at the end.
Practically all the leading rails dropped
to lowest prices of the year, some touched
their mtnlmutna for a period of years and
a few mado absolutely new minimum. Ex
treme reversions in this groups ran from
1 la i points.
Industrials offered some resistance at the
outset, but gradually followed tho course
of the more seasoned Issues. United States
Mteel's extreme recession of 3H to 85 repre
sented the general setback in allied Indus
trials and equipment. Shlpplms slso re
acted, but metals suffered only moderate
losses.
High prlcod specialties, notably tobaccos,
suKmcnted recent severe losses by 6 to 10
points, selling of those stocks proceeding on
Uio theory thnt existing economic conditions
mnko them especially vulnerable. Salt
amounted to 490,000 shsres.
Anglo-French 6s snd domestic railway snd

PRICE FIXING A
FAILURE, HOOVER
President of Nebraska Farm
ers' Union Befutes Charge of
Hoarding Sugar; Federal
Prices Go Upward.
C. H. Gustafson, president of the
Nebraska Farmers' union and also
president of the mercantile business
of the organization, has just returned
from Washington.
"It has been stated that we have
been prevented from getting sugar for
the reason that, it has been charged
that our members have been accused
of hoarding. This1 is not true," said
Mr. Gustafson.
"Right now we are sending out
sugar from our Omaha warehouse and
in 100-pound lots to our members and
expect to continue doing so. We be
lieve that this is the economic method
of handling sugar. Asking people to
buy sugar in 10-pound lots is an eco
nomic loss and should not be per
mitted to continue.
"While in Washington, with the
presidents of the Farmers' unions of
Kansas and Oklahoma. I had confer
ences with both President Wilson and
Food Administrator Hoover. We
went over the whole situation with
reference to cost and selling prices,
as well as the labor situation. Rela
tive to the labor problem, we were
assured by President Wilson that a
plan is being worked out for the so
lution of the farm labor question next
year.
Price Fixing a Failure
"Mr. Hoover told me that up to this
time the price fixing has been consid
erable of a failure. He added that
until congress gives him more power,
he is utterly helpless to bring about
the results he desires. He will soon
go before cbngress and ask for addi
tional power in the premises.
"In all this talk about price fixing
on commodities that enter into the
daily consumption of the people of
the community, I notice that selling
prices have been fixed. I also notice
that the fixing has been upward,
rather than downward, sqmething that
I fancy is not entirely (satisfactory to
the consumer. While this has been
done and the merchant has been told
what he may chafge for tho necessi
ties of life, we have gone along in our
own way and without any boasting,
or rushing into public print, have fixed
prices at which we will sell goods to
our members. These prices arc much
lower than those fixed bv the food
administration agent, and even at
these prices the union is not losing
any money in the transaction."
Satisfied With Profits.
"As to the charge by some of our
merchant friends and some of the food
administration agents that we are
selling sugar at a loss, just as an ad
vertisement, I want to say that w are
satisfied with our profits, said vrank
Myers, manager of the mercantile de
partment of the Nebraska Farmers'
union. Right now we arc selling
sugar to our members at $7.90 per 100
pounds, t o. b. Omaha. We are dis
couraging hoarding and Will not sell
any one member more than 100
pounds at a time. Nor will we sell
