Howaril Defends
United. States
Grain Growers
President of . Farm Bureau
Declares Producers Have
Right . to ' Follow Crops
During Distribution.
Speakinsr before an audience of
between 1,300 and . 1,500 people at
the Fillmore county picnic, Geneva,
Neb., last week, James R. Howard,
president of the American Farm Bu
reau federation, declared that "those
who- bear the sweat and toil qf the
noon-day sun io productive- enter-
priscs-tlie farmers have a right to
follow their product- as far as they
like alonar the route of- distribution.
President Howard was referring spe-
cihcailv to the "efforts of the farmers
through he marketing plan of the
United' States Grain Growers, Inc.
President Howards speech was
prefaced by a short talk by Gov.
S. R. McKelvie, who acted as chair
man of the meeting. The governor
declared that tlje strictest ' principles
oftco(iomy should mark- the farm
ers' co-operative - efforts rather than
the spirit ;f agitation. The gov
ernor said, also, that legislation - is
helpful in- the 'Operation of any busi
ness, but that it is impossible to
make a farmers' movement a politi
cal one; and that" legislation can only
pave' the way . for co-operative en
deavor. ."
, Largest in World.
President Howard said the Ameri
can Farm' Bureau federation is the
largest Organisation of farmers in the
world, and' characterized by a get-together
istick-JoRethet 'co-operative
idea.-- He discribed "briefly tlje work.
of the" comnlittee -of . 17,' and the
fundamental' principles' of the United
States -Grain' Growers,1 Inc. which
was born of thet-fforts of' that com
mittee "More information concern
ing1 grain marketing was brought to
light by that committee in its delib
erations thaff'wa,' fiver "known be
fore," President Howard declared, , .
He. spoke of the.tffotts of-co-op-erative
elevators during the past .10
years to carry their grain beyond the
terminals tut w.ere prevented by re
fusal of .grain exchange to ' allow
th'etn seats orrhe exchange with the
excuse" ' that' exchange' members
should; not be allowed to -pro-rate
their" profits. Only 'through' their
own co-onerative ' efforts canv the
farmers "overcpnje. that hapdicaj), he
declared; .
President Howard .said: the, finance
corporation ' is important in that it
will' provide credit to the farmers.
He said that it tak-cs more' .credit for
f aVmers ' to' handle their own 1 grain
than for others to do it, bmvfhajt they
mus,t :he prepared to meet;an -emer-gensy
.like .the present ope. He de
clared that the reason farmers have
had a harder 'time' obtaining credit
than other businesses , is 'because
other-' lines ' have heretofore -been
more 'profitable. J " , ., J
.',' .' Increase , in Vafurfs.' "-.
In" answering the question, '-'Are
we going back to the prewar level
of prices ?" Mr. Howard - said that
the recentj . census , report , of., farm
values shows farm property worth
nnn nfin nn'n rnWinai-eri ' vu(h
ii.utMUUU.-uuu iu years ago, or ai
mixst .100 fper ' cent ' increase. . Mr.
Howard, though declared that in
flated 'land prices are "rtcjt .prinfarily.
responsible for the present predica
ment of the farmer and he explained
that, according, to th- quantitative
theory of money, whenever "the vol
ume .91.. money doubles, Jiric.es must
double.lahd that' we now' have' ap
proximately $7,000,000,000 in circula
tion,' compared with $3,750,000,000 in
prewar times, and . in addition. there
has been, a great expansion of credit.
City . property, : merchandise, fac
tories, etc, ',he declared,, have all in
creased ii 1 values-Jher-eforei:' unless
more, credit .is' curtailed ' than has
been done so far, the readjustment
of'prices must.be on a higher level;
not as high as war prices, but Higher
thart the. prewar: level.
-Mr. Howard -condemned the' gov
ernment" operation of railroads dur
ing -the yar. 'saying the "government!
strll owes the railroads $800,000,000
and'that the roads now' need" 700,000
more ' cars for - norm.'.-- business.
Therefore, he says,, he., d&e's not look
for a decline in freight; rates for. sev
eral years. '., , -' '
Water transportation -is tlie most
hopeful-'. thing, to be .considered, he
said, .referring t the -provisions of
the vfisGh-Cumming . bill ' 'requiring
railroads -to. biH - freight either by
water--or .rail' at- the shipper's'- direo.
tionsr He. say-s this'is- reviving- water
traffic, Specially -via. the Mississippi
river, where' great fleets of barges
are now operating between. St Louis
and New Orleans. He said the at.
Lawrencfc-Grtat : Lakes waterway,
allowing octan-going vessels to dock
at Great - take; ports, would .bring
Nebraska. 1,000 Tiriles" --closer to the
foreign natkeii.' This. ' would mean

State Will Have
Special Report
Arrangements Made for Mar
ket Quotations to Secretary
Of Agriculture.
Leo B. Stuhr, secretary of the state
department of agriculture, was in
Washington last week and com
pleted arrangements with the-fedcral
bureau -of -mafkcts, for installing a
leased, wire in the state department
of agriculture for the handling of
market, and crop reports. The ex
pense of both the wire and the op
erator Will be borne equally by the
state and federal governments.
The reports from all the large cen
tral markets will cover, live stock and
grain quotations in detail and in ad
dition will, - furnish quotations on
fruits and vegetables which are not
now generally' cohered in the mar
ket reports..
The service will be installed prob
ably within two or three weeks and
the reports will be available for the
newspapers and such other agencies
as may wish them;
. Mr. .Stuhr said that as soon as re
ceiving wireless telephonic instru
ments .are available it is possible that
his department will - enter -, into- the
field Qf furnishing market and other
reports o rural communities by wire
less aftftr:.the experimental work has
proven-its practicability.
While':' in Washington Stuhr also
arranged.Jo place a s'pecial market?:
ing man" at" Kearney, and -Alliance
during the potato marketing season,
who will keep in close touch with the
central markets, in - the ' interests of
growers and small dealers in this
crop. -! i-,':' , ; -. ' .
iFarm Notes
Cut -a'ilitle''fi:recn corn fodder each
day and haul" it up for bc: milk ."cows.
They need green feed: to supplement
the drying pastures,- - A few minutes';
a day at this job yields returnis in the
form of a large cream check. , .
Final -preparations for sending the
young people to school' should be
made in August Send for college
catalogs, select the; school and- help
son or daughter to pick out the
proper course. Ut 4iw tarmers in
Nebraska, those who had attended
high school made 32.1 per cent more
money than those who had only a
common school course.
Remove -rotted silage and water
from the silo and see that necessary
repairs are made preparatory to fill
ing. If a stave silo, draw the hoops
snug before filling. Be sure that
none of- the silo doors- are missing
or off .their..hinges. Have a supply
of building paper or old newspapers
on hand to seal the doors.
The natural laying season of the
hen in this locality ii April, May and
June, unless she has been bred for
production in which case the laying
period begins earlier and lasts much
longer. Because this is true, July
and August is the time to do the first
culling of the flock, for the hens that
begin to moult now are the biggest
slackers, and should be sold while the
market price is good. At this time
it is well to cull out-the hens witii
low vitality, poor feet, small snaky
heads; the old, overfat and diseased
ones;
Farmers' Live Stock
Associations Planned
The fanners jive stock "rriarketing
committee cf. fifteen is perfecting
plans for the establishment of pro
ducer owned and operated co-operative
commission companies in lead
ing markets, according to reports
from the American Farm Buureau
federation at . Chicago. - The plan
will be subitfed to the whole com
mittee of 15 at its' next meeting at
Chicago on August ' 10, for appro
val. '
Thl principles' on which the pro
ducers co-operative companies will
be - established and operated have
been reviewed and endorsed by the
committee of 15. Upon establish
ment of the co-operative commis
sion companies at the various stock
yards they will be affiliated in an
organization, national in scope, in
which producers will obtain mem
bership and control on a purely co
operative basis. The producers will
share the earnings and benefits of
selling according to the patronage
dividend principle. - ; "
Percentage of White .
" Farmers on Increase
Of the total land in farms in 1920,
910,605,420 acres were operated by
white farmers, as against 832,166,
020 acres in 1910, This represents
an increase of 78,442,400 acres,, or 9
per cent.- Land operated, by white
farmers in "1920 constituted 95.3 per
cent of all land in farmSj-as Com
pared .wfthi947 per cent' in 1910. The
average.? :&ize of the farms operated
by white armers"was 165.6 acres in
;1920'and 153 acres in 1910 -
-Colored farmers operated 45,068,
125 acres ' of land in 1920, as com
pared with 46,632,305 acres in 1910,
representing a decrease of 1,564,180
acres, -or -3.4 per cent. Farms op
erated. by .colored, fatmers. 'in 1920
averaged 47.4 acres, as against 50.6

Ocean Freight :
Lower on Many
Farm Products
Cotton and Wheat Rates to
United Kingdom Reduced
Half Since Last No
vember. Ocean freight rates on wheat and
cotton moving from North Atlantic
ports of the United States to '.the
United Kingdom were approximate
ly 50 per cent lower on July. 1, 1921,
than on November 1,, 1920, according
to a statement compiled bv the Bu-
reau of Markets atid Crop Estimates
from data furnished by the United
States shipping board. This decline
corresponds .substantially to. the
price declines of these commodities
during the same period, so that the
ratio, between the freight rates and
the market prices remains relatively
the same.
The average price of cotton in
New- York for October, 1920,' aiid fpr
June, 1921 was $22.68 sand $12 per
1Q0 poun.dsj respectively. In the
absence of figures' showing. the aver
age ocean 'freight rate on cotton dur
ing those months, Iho rates Jn effqet
on November 1. 1920, a'iid July, L
1921, were .used in this" compilation.
Practically Unchanged.
The ocean, freight rate to the
United . Kingdom was $1.10 per 100
pounds' on November A;. 1920, or 4.9
percent of the, value of. the cottoft-as
represented by- the quotatioii'pri that
date. On - July. 1, 1921, : when.' the
ocean freight rate was ' 52 ,l-2c per,
100?pounds, the ration between tne
frtight rate- and Itft'e" price ;W;aa, 4.4
'per xent. : ,,v; ';.' .
,On NovenaIer J, 1920, No. 2' red
wheat was, quoted, in... New York it
$2.34 per . bushel T-nd' .the ocean
treieht rate was-40c , ret 100. pounds,
or at the rate of 24 cents per bushel,'
which represented 10.2 ,pv'r. cent ot
rhe value of the wheat. ; Oh; July K
1921. -with No. 2 red wheat - .selling.
at $L47 l-2;pe& bushQl,. the-.freight J
rate was 21 cents per 1UU pounds
12.6 cents per bushel or 8.5 per cent
of the value of a bushel of wheat.
Both the price of wheat and the
freight rate may be said to represent
a fair average for June.
Decline Less Marked.
The decline in' the rates and prices
f other commodities was less
marked. In the case of butter and
cheese the wholesale prices have de
clined . aoDroximatelv 44 per cent
since last November, while the ocean
freight rates on these commodities
have fallen only from 20 per cent to
25 per cent. ''
The export rail freight rate from
Kansas City to Galveston is 27 cents
per bushel and the ocean; freight
from Galveston to the United Kingr
dom is 15 ents per bushel, making
a total of '42 cents per' buslief, of
which the cost of the inland rail
haul represents 64.3 .per cent.
In ' Argentina, the rail rate for
transporting 1,000 kilograms (2,204:6
rounds) of wheat a distance of 500
kilometers . (310.6 miles) is $15.44
Argentine paper, or 12.2 cents per
hniilipl. ' ralmlated oh the basis or.
the prevailing rate of exchange. The
average ran nam in rgennna 13
435 kilometers (261 miles). Argen-j
tina showers thus have an apparent
advantage of about 14.8 cents per
bushel over the" interior sections of
the United States in the cost', ot
transporting their wheat to the sea
board. This advantage, however, is
partly offset by larger ocean -freight
rates from Argentina to the United
Kingdom, which, at the present
t'me, are around' 23 cents-per bushel,
making a combined rail-and-ocean
late of 35.2 cent's per bushel for
Argentine wheat.
Farm Bureau Opposed to
Agreement With Canada
The executive committee of the
South Dakota Farm' Bureau federa
tion, in session here this week, unani
mously passed a resolution to tne
effprr that it would be "verv detri-)
f !, ,rSc,,ltnra1 interests I
of the United States if the reciprocal
agreement proposed to Canada and
accepted by the congress of the
United States .in 1911, should now
come into full -force and effect."..
The committee -unanimously- voted
to urge South Dakota senators and
congressmen ana an otners inter
ested in the welfare of agriculture
in this country to use every effort
to secure the cancellation of the re
ciprocal agreement as it now stands.
Concrete Fence Posts
Growing in Popularity
On account of the scarcity and
h'gh price- of wood, concrete fence
posts . are ' becoming increasingly
popular. Concrete will not rot,, burn,
nor be affected by wood-boring in
sects.. Properly made concrete posts
will last a lifetime. , A fence once
properly built out of them will not
need' further attention, unless the
wires rust out or break.
The biggest factor in use of-con-crete
posts is thafthcy are properly
made. ..Otherwise they' Will be un
satisfactory, v -Suggestions ," about
making concrete post's , oil the farm
may be obtained from the Nebraska
College of Agriculture, Lincoln. , .
Agriculture First Among
Industries of America
A writer in the agricultural press
says that-agriculture is . right now
the important problem- ki-tbis coun
try the problennof the manufac
turer and' the-.m'e'rc'haht, the' banker
and the generai'4)ublic,..st,as' much
as it is the problem of the farmer.
He believes that agriculture, above
all industries, is entitled to some con
structive puhlicity, ; ' . '
"It needs' hbos'ting," he says. "It
cannot get. along-without "'if-and still
keep up with the tim,es.'
Grain Products-Moving -
Despite Freight Rates
Grain and grain products are mov
ing in greater, volume than at any
time within three years, "despite the
increase in freight rates," said a re
cent statement by the American
Railway association,.
Between June 4 and July 16, the
statement said, 297,881 . cars were
loaded with grain and grain prod-,
ucts, or 67.403 more than during, the
corresponding ; period f 1920t and
70,043 more than in 1919. - "

was taken up by Viscount James
' Bryce, in the first public lecture be-
fore the Institute ot 1'olitics now
meeting at Williams college.
"Broadly speaking," he declared,
"international -relations are what the
leaders! peoples make theih." '
Continuing, Lord Bryce said;
"There are two relations in which
nations' stand to 'one 'SnfcJher that
of 'wSr 'ari d tha't of peace. Our pres

the last resort 'the question is one
of moral progress of theindividual
men who compose the communities."
He sketched the' career's of Bona
parte, Bismarck, Cavour, Kossouth
and Mazzini. '' ' '
"I n6te the careers of these men,"
he went on, "as instances to show
how large is the unpredicable ele
ment in the field of international as
well as in that of domestic poli

scientific try to represent the gener
