THE BEE: OMAHA, MONDAY. AUGUST 8, 1921. Harvest Workers Subject to Quiz By College Men Migratory Workers Are Ques- tioned by University of Wis consin Representatives, Studying Conditions. The migratory worker-or hobo, to be exact is being quizzed from Texas to Canada, inclusive. The de partment of economics in the Uni versity of Wisconsin is trailing him through the wheat fields. What's your name? Where did you come from? Where did you go to school and for how long? What's your trade? What other training did you have? How did you become migratory? These are a few of the questions for the timid wanderer. No matter how modest he may be, or how sim ple his annals may appear to his own mind, the questioners, within reason able bounds, want to know all about him. What they are studying is the labor market and the conditions that govern it, and the shyest private in the great army that follows binder and thresher from Mexico north is able to contribute his mite of fact. The investigation is expected tp throw some light on the I. W. W. "Big" Bill Haywood's political club, which has made great strides among the detached workers. Though jointly undertaken by the university and the-employment serv ices of the United States and Canada, it will constitute a part of the re search conducted by the university each year. On the basis of the in vestigation, the two government de partments hope to be able to better the labor situation, both for workers and farms, as it relates to the wheat harvest. . . In order to cover a wide territory ?nd obtain much information, the in vestigators will trail the harvesting ?.imy in autos They will interview workers and also ne farmers who employ them and study pla-cment ir.cllicds to ascertain whether any dsHcts are floodei with labor while oiht'rs experience a shortage. Once collected, the , information will be turned over to three ecoto mists, Professor Lescohier, W. J. Altmeycr, statistician of the indus trial commission, and Professor John R. Commons, for a general exami nation relating to employment. Insurance against unemployment, the history of cycles of much and little work, radical theories surt as those advanced by socialists, anar chists and green backers, and em ployment methods in Europe and America, will each come in lor a survey. The research is expected to v'd something constructive tv i:a ke? and remedies. Certified Seed Grain Popular in Nebraska Certified seed of small grains is as popular with Nebraska farmers as is )ureb fed live stock. Nearly 1,000 fanners in 45 counties of Nebraska are growing certified seed of wheat, oats, rye, and barley. Kanred wheat leads the list in number of growers. Dodge county is a good example of how this variety has spread. In 1919 five men secured seed from Kansas for a trial. In 1920 neigh bors bought all the surplus from these men and several carloads were shipped in to supply the demand. This year, after three years' trial of Kanred wheat, more than 400 farm ers are growing it. Its resistance to rust, extra yield, winter hardiness, and carliness have made it popular. Two Nebraska wheats -which arc improved strains of Turkey Red, arc also popular, being grown widely over the state. They are outyiclding ordinary Turkey Red, from three to four bushels an acre on the average, which is about the same as Kanred. Improvement Shown in ' Eastern Wool Market A general tone of improvement is shown in the wool market at eastern points. The demand for fine staple wools is much in excess of the sup ply, with prices showing a tendency to advance. Montana wools arc selling at from 1621c flat ' basis; staple territory at from 7075c and three-eights blood at from 5052c scoured basis. The bureau of the census reports that on the first of July 80 per cent of the woolen and 92 per cent of the worsted spindles were in operation' It is estimated that about 4,000.000 pounds of wool will be pooled in Michigan . this season, more than 2.000.000 pounds having been- re ceived at the 130 local concentration points up to July 1. The wool is being graded locally, thereby afford ing growers the opportunity of learning more concerning the prepa ration and grading of wool for the market. - Retail Sales of Grass Seed Show Big Increase The retail sales of clover ana grass seeds, with few exceptions, were greater during the 1921 selling sea son than they were in 1920. Sales of millets, sorgos, rape and a few other late-sown forage crop seeds, how ; ever, were below last year and nor mal in practically every geographi cal division, according to data ob tained by the bureau of markets and crop estimates. The increase m sales or ciover ana grass seeds is thought to be of far reaching significance in that it indi cates a return of agriculture to a more economic basis. - Food, feed and liber crops were produced during the past few years at the expense of plowing up many old meadows; but this year, with the price of seeds down in line with that of other farm products and more farmers than ,iitl tiivfnff nrndueed- their own seed, new meadow and pastures have pcen aown. .

MONTAGUE 7 THE PEAK OF PERSISTENCE When recently various Kings were deposed For being too lose or high handed, They wisely regarded the incident closed, And lay very low where they landed. They knew, if their subjects should see them about, Renewing old follies and scandals, . ' They'd probably hasten to carry them out In boxes with nice silver handles. The Kaiser, for instance, although he was pained At being hurled out of his palace, His once uncontrollable temper restrained And showed neither rancor nor malice. He would rather reside in a little Dutch cot Than return to the land that expelled him, And be dumped in the family burial plot As soon as his subjects beheld him. But to this fellow Charles, yho was Hungary's King, Although he has victuals and clothing, The quiet and peace of his banishment bring A feeling of odious loathing. At scheme and device for regaining his throne He is constantly growing adepter. And if only his keepers would let him alone He soon would be swinging his scepter, , We do not believe that a tyrant should rule, Though visions of grandeur may haunt him, We feel that a king is a dod-gasted fool To go where the people don't want him. He'll find, if he keeps up his perilous game, That life is surprisingly bitter. , But we're bound to admit to ourselves just the same, That the chap's not exactly a quitter.

Bell Bjndieite, Inc. Progress of the Crops. Weekly Crop Bulletin of the Agricultural Bureau of Omaha Chamber of Commerce. The outstanding? feature of crop condi tion! of the past week haa been the com plete relief from drouth In the Missis sippi and Ohio valleys. The rains noted m our last bulletin were followed by further heavy precipitation -in Iowa. Illinois. Indiana and Ohio and In many districts of Kansas, Missouri and Ken- j tucky though the country south and east of St. Louis has not yet had enough rain to bring rener. Tne damage to the corn crop throughout the district now relieved from drouth may not be known for some weeks. Very considerable damage la ad mitted by state crop reporters. But the corn plant has such a marvelous resource for recovering from seasonal injury that it Is hard to believe that it will not ma terially improve In all thoBe districts ivnicn nave tnus bad abundance of rain around the beginning of August. In the western stretches of the corn belt condi tions continue mainly very good, though some districts are a little shy on moisture ana tne cool, cloudy weather has slowed up development very noticeably. This Is no cause for anxiety, however, as every where the corn is perhaps two weeks ahead of normal seasonal development. There is therefore no likelihood that frost Injury may be anticipated at the close of the eeason. In nearly all sections of the country threshing of small grain has been delayed greatly by weather conditions. Some dam age has been done to grain in shock by sprouting. This damage Is easily over estimated; yet it Is an important factor In crops which are none too good even when no avoidable damage has been suf fered. The yield of the oat crop this season is unusually light over the greater part of the oats producing country. Ana while there Is known to be a large carry over from last year, one finds It difficult to reconcile oat yields of 10 to 30 bushels per acre in large producing states like Illinois and Iowa, with a going price of 20 cents per bushel for oats on the farms. The old market regulators called supply and demand will have some trouble to justify themselves in the minds or some farmers who are compelled to sell oats to pay twine bills. The south had a good week. The weather, which was generally dry and sunny, permitted outdoor work In all dis tricts and only a few areas suffering from excessive rains of previous weeks report unfavorably. Southern Texas farmers are picking corn. Cotton is not making ma terial improvement generally considered as the reports of shedding and boll weevil from important districts offset-improvements elsewhere. The southern farmers this year seem destined to find corn, pea nuts and other subordinate crops bettet resources than cotton and tobacco, their so-called "money crop." Much of the spring wheat country has had rain enough to improve all late crope. Large districts, however, both In Minne sota and North Dakota, have had only light showers, and the potato crop, which is Important in both states, promises very poorly. Threshing returns do not change former opinions of small grain yields in the-spring wheat belt and we shall ex pect the August estimate of the United States Department of Agriculture to be given out early this week, to be revised distinctly downward to the extent of 26 000,000 or 10.000,000 bushels. Montana ts 'the only state showing improved spring wheat conditions. ...... The Paclflo coast and mountain statea have had no rain for some weeks except in the southern areas, where unusual mid summer rainfall haa been the order for much of the season. Southern Utah ana Colorado and the adjacent region m Arlsona and New Mexico bid fair to be classed as part of the rain belt! But all the rest of the mountain states need rain badly for all dry farming interests. Grain crops are made In all areas, however, and sre mostly good crops, though lsrge areas of California and Washington give poor dry farming returns. - The irrigated dis tricts of the west and the Missouri valley will evidently be called upon to supply the middle west with potatoes as that important food crop is an extremely, poor prospect in several states. Utah Man Suggests Ways to Assist Sheep Men of Western States "Eighty per cent of the range sheepmen of the west would be thrown into bankruptcy today were they compelled to meet their out standing obligations," F. R. Mar shall, secretary of the National Wool Growers association, declared in a statement at Salt Lake recently. Mr. Marshall suggested three pos sible emergency and permanent measures for the improvement of live stock credit conditions as fol lows: Provisions for immediate loans on the real estate of the stockmen, at present lightly mortgaged or en tirely free for the most part; the making eligible for rediscount with the federal reserve banks of 30 months' paper secured by breeding stock, and relief from the 10 per cent borrowing limit in the case of small banks through the operation of branch banks, now prohibited by law. Farm News Notes Don't put the spraying machinery away dirty. Be sure it is thoroughly cleaned. Blanch early celery with boards or paper. Soil is apt to cause the stems to decay, Flowers often revive better if the stems are cut under water. This doe3 not permit them to' fill' with air ahead of the water. Get rid of pocket gophers as soon as possible. Poisoned potato, apple or parsnip dropped in. their runways as a rule will thin them fast. Keep dead leaves and filowers re moved from plants if you would lengthen the blooming periods, After raspberries and other ane fruits are through fruiting the old canes should be removed and the plants thoroughly cultivated. Three main shoots are enough to leave on dahlia plants. Too many shoots make small flowers. Watch for the second brood of currant worms. - Arsenate of lead put on as soon as they appear wilHrate of 4 per cent a month, get them, Gruss an Teplitz rose in Portland, Ore., has produced more than 200 flowers in one season. Lawn clippings make good mulch to put about everbearing straw berries. Keep the leaves tied up over cauli flower heads if you would have white heads. Perennial flower seed may be sown now. Transplant the seedlings as soon as large enough to sheltered places in the garden, or better yet, to a cold frame, Many will bloom next year, ; y Forty Nebraska Farmers Join IL S. Grain Growers Contracts Signed in Campaign At Bruning Big Mass Meeting Held at Gilead. Forty farmers, living in the trade territory of the co-operative elevator at Bruning, joined hands with the United States Grain Growers, Inc., the first of this week by signing the growers' contract, according to A. J. Dewald, in charge of the cam paign in this vicinity, in a report to the office of the state organizer. Thursday evening a mass meeting of farmers was held at Gilead and the latter part of the week solicitors circulated in this section of Thayer county. This makes a grand total in Ne braska of close to 100 growers con tracts. Nels Johnson of Winside, the only elevator solicitor to put stress on the individual membership con tract, has 32 to his credit. In the neighborhood of 100 grain growers attended the meeting at Gilead Thursday evening to hear the advantages of the plan. George Boomer of the rural economics de partment of the College of Agricul ture, spoke on co-operative market ing. Mr. Dewald announced that the campaign would start at Ruskin Monday with a meeting that evening and at Nora the latter part of the week. Eighty elevators, approximately one-third of the co-operative con cerns in the state, had signed the elevator contract Thursday evening, was the substance of a statement is sued by the state organizer. Com plete arrangements have been made and contracts received from the of ficers of co-operative elevators lo cated at Allen, Dixon, Winnebago, Thurston, Walthill, Fremont, Wood cliffe, Lcshara, Gladstone, Cedar Bluffs, Vutan, Malmo, Ithaca, Wes ton, Springfield, Swedeburg, Ash land, Ceresco, Weeping Water, Union, Cook, .Waverly, Benedict, Walton, Waco, Denton, Bennett, Hampton, Friend, Dorchester, Crete, Exeter, Shestak, Sterling, Harvard, Crab Orchard, Filley, Western, Blue Springs, Kinney, Barnston, Bruning, Carleton, Belvidere, Shea, Gilead, Hebron, Hubbell, Byron, Ruskin, Nora, Hardy, Bostwick, Abdal, Mt.

Boys' and Girls' Club Work Popular at Fairs Boys' and girls' club work and demonstrations have been given a separate class in the premium list of the Nebraska state fair this 3rear, and indications point to the best show of this kind ever held at a fair in this city. A total of $2,277.50 and several special prizes will be dis tributed among the young farmers and homemakers. Probably 25 counties will enter teams in the judging and demonstration contests, and it is thought that the exhibits of live stock, vegetables and fruits, canned goods, sewing, baking, etc., will be larger than at any previous fair. The best judging and demonstra tion teams will receive free trips to the Interstate fair at Sioux City, where they will represent Nebraska in competition with teams from other states. The best dairy judging team will go to the national dairy show at St. Paul. Manufacturing and other companies are offering special prizes. The girl scoring the highest in the canning exhibits will receive a pressure cooker, while the manufacturers of glass jars will pay well for the best jars of fruit pre served in their jars. Chickens, Eggs and Beans Legal Tender During Pioneer Days Chickens, beans and eggs are shown to have been legal tender in the pioneer days by a note which has just been sent to the Nebraska state historical society by an attorney for the receiver of the Castetter bank. ' The note is dated 1838 and through the time it took to pay it off, emphasizes the difficulty of ob taining money in the early days. The note was given to Mr. Cas tetter by Jeremiah Young for a loan of $5 and called for interest at the The issue date was July 23 anf on October 2, 1958, Young paid to Castetter two chickens, valued at 50 cents. On December 29, two more chickens were credited with 50 cents. On February 3, 1859, one peck of white beans were credited with 75 cents and on April 16, four dozen eggs were credited with 50 cents. The last payment noted is six small chickens valued at $1.25 for the lot and a notation at the bottom shows that $4.04, including interest, would be due April 23, 18o0, indicating that an extension on a part Vjf the loan was necessary, State Tax Commissioner Announces Valuation Per Acre of Nebraska Farms Lincoln, Aug. 6.

Nebraska-grown potatoes, are commanding as much as $1 per bu shel more than Kansas and Missouri potatoes this year on the Chicago market, according to an announce ment by the bureau of markets and crop estimates. The potatoes arc of practically the same kind . and raised under similar conditions, but the difference in quality is mainly attributed to a new manner of grad ing now used in the commercial po tato districts of Nebraska. The bureau pointed out the mar ket of last Tuesday as an example of the great difference in potatoes of the same rating from the three states. On that day Kansas potatoes sold from $1.35 to $1.40 per 100 pounds and Missouri grown varieties, sorted, brought $1.75 and $1.85 a hundred. Nebraska potatoes sold not lower than $2.25 and up to $2.60. The exceptionally good natural conditions under which Nebraska potatoes are grown is given by the bureau as one reason for the higher prices, but grading is considered as the first cause. The bureau of mar kets and crop estimates maintains a branch at Kearney during the har vesting season to supervise the grad ing of potatoes and make reports. The Chicago market is said to have been quick to recognize the su periority of Nebraska spuds shipped under these conditions. Most of the fields show potatoes of good size and quality, but there are Jess to the hill than usual this year. Conditions are pronounced as very good now, but the early crop was curtailed by dry weather. Con servative estimates place the com mercial potato crop this year at about 600 cars, with other reports running a little higher. Cotton Seed Oil Exports. The exports of cottonseed oil from the United States during the month of June amounted to 14,162.086 pounds, valued at $1,105,467. This brings the total exports of cotton seed oil from the United States dur ing the first six months of 1921 up to 200,285,876 pounds. Negro Farmers Increase. The number of negro farmers in the United States on January 1 was 926.257, according to the census bu reau. In 1920 the number was 893,370. Many Find Hogs Most Profit able Way to Dispose Of the Grain Crops. "More and better stock" i the present cry of farmers and the ino.t pressing need of the day in Nebras ka, according to A. E. Anderson, federal statistician of the bureau of crop estimates. He says that farm ers are now finding It necessary to feed their grain to hogs to turn it into profit for themselves. On April 1 of this year Nebraska had 667,000 brood sows, in compari son with 655,000 last year, an in crease of about 2 per cent, he states, but this vear's figure is far below those for 1918 and 1919 for the cor responding date. In 1918 there were S11.000 brood sows in Nebraska and this number dropped to 730,000 in 1919, almost 1C per cent in a single year, the rec ords show. This is partly attribut able to high grain prices, which pre vailed during the war when the farm er could receive a good profit from his grain without turning it into pork. As grain goes higher this decrease in live stock is shown proportionate ly, the records show, while a drop in grain prices cause more live stock to be fed, particularly hogs. With corn at the present general price of 50 cents in. Nebraska and hogs bringing a top of $10 on the Omaha market, Mr. Anderson states that there is good profit for feeders of hogs and that this condition will continue as long as live stock is high. He says that with a successful year when a farmer does not lose any of his stock and the market is steady, the feeder can break even with 50-cent corn and $6 hogs, so that if the market does not drop any lower in the next few months, hog raising will probably be raised to a much higher mark than at present in Nebraska.
