We Will not pretend that tnry VIII not
have something to say about the mar
lleting machinery if it piles up unfair
ly high prices for the consumers.
This paper also says:
In place Of the profit which the ship
per aims to make the officers of the
society contemplate paying a dividend.
Wrong You are again. There i, no
idea of taking job or ftjr profit away
from any legitimate handler or Ship
per.
In entering a field they lthe A. S. of
T. endcavor 10 sell stock to farmer
who then becomes Il number Of the SO
ciety. Now then when Mr. Farmer
comes to town with load of potatoes
he j., likely to 90 to the independents
shipper and ask him how much he is
paying for potatoes. If the price is 81
Equity warehouse and if they pay the
same the society gets the potatoes, as
the farmer expects to get divid ends
from the business Of the society.
This is the +. and =. j. plan and has
been the plan for many farmers organ
izations But the Equity plan is al
different The Equity ship is guided
by hands that steer it clear of all such
rocks, has no capital stock to sell, don t
need any. There will be no COMPETE
ton between Independent and society
buyers because the growers will pledge
their crops to their society There
will be 10 dividends as we said, Just a
straight, profitable price, known to all
farmers and all buyers and they can
take the potatoes or do without them
If they can.
Ia the very nature of economic con-
ditious which now exist in the civilized
void and business some independent
factor must he enjoyed to convey the
products that one man proluces to az
other who consumes.
Now you are right and yen have hit
the Equity principles exactly. This is
The first farmers society that propose
to have fan mers attend strictly to their
own business OF producing and getting
a fair price for crops before any other
person can obtain title to them. 1t de-
clares that farmers will be satisfied
with this ald that it Will not disturb
any other people in the enjoyment Of
their established business.
The Fcuit Trade Jorunal has a large
circulation among fruit buyers and
shippers and some producers. This
article will be read by them and passed
to thousand, more of growers who deal
with them and thus the best movement
for the farmer, VIII be retarded and its
complete triumph delayed.
Whatever operates to stop this un-
fair opposition Will, speed the day of
the farmers deliverance from the old
bad method. We ask readers of Up-to-
Date Farming to write to the paper,
and beg of them; first to understand
the y. S. OF L. if they do not already;
second help the cause along or at least
do not oppose it by spreading lies
which must come back to them to
roOs..
Any paper that refuses either of
those propositions is not worthy OF farm.
ers support and the sooner it is ignor
ed the better for American agriculture.

it is true vein of commercial value or
simply a pocket often found in coal

to indicate that good body will be en-

in some of the eastern states:
Up-to.da:e farming and members
organizers and officers Of the Amer
lean Society of Equity have done
enough work to establish this society
over the entire countries of the Gni,ed
States and Canada. We have no doubt
but that it would have been 50 estab-
lshed if the farm press of the country
had not misrepresented it,
TO Illustrate this ma tie we find in
July 18th Fruit Trade lrnal and
Produce Record of New 70 :; an ed-
torial OF two and a half lum length,
dat attributes to the fruit an prolu G
branch functions that vtre Iaver in
Tended that it would perform. We
quote as follows
a farmer in Wisconsin has q thou
sand bushels of potatoes. y man in
Chicago wants four bushels. There
are severl hundred like him who want
four bHshels each, but there is no way
for these several hundred to connect
with that particular farmer who has
the thousand bushels. = = #
The society's plan is to buy Of the
farmer the same as the shipper now
does, but to return to the farmer ali
the potatoes bring except the expense
of handling.
Taking up the last part Of the quo
tation first l. is not the S0cietY's plan
to buy anything. 1t simply acts as
the farmers represei tative. " hen it
finds a purchases it instructs the own
er of the potatoes to deliver to the pur-
chaser, or deliver on board cars to be
shidped to the purchaser. The Socie-
ty does not attempt to fix a price for
the consumer to pay, bus it does tiX the
price for the grower to receive. The
expense Of marketing as re 'crred to in
our plan is not all the expense of get
ting the potatoes to the consumer, but
only the expense incurred by the So
ciety, members and representatives, in
reporting supply and dem md and di
rectiag the supply to meet the demand
There will be buyers, shippers, com
mission men, jobbers and retailers as
now unless the consumers will have it
otherwise. When the farmers get
their price they will not be 30 much
concerned about the route to market
and certainly will make less effort to
cut out The middle men ana appropriate
their profits. The farmers interes, ia

more from desire that the mailman

cation congress did not
assemble until late this forenoon.
United States Senator Carter of Mon
tana again presided. DR.. Elwood
Mead of the government reclamation
service spoke of "The Evolution of IT.
rigation Institutions, dealing with
the steady development from absolute
private ownership of small water rights
into great system of cummunity and
government ownership.
Judge Stephen A. Lowell of Pendle-
ton, Ore, spoke of the "Social Side Of
Irrigation"
Some startling statistics were pre-
sented by Professor Samuel Fortier of
the University of California in his dis
cussion of the value of high duty OF
water and the means of obtaining it,.
Professor Fortler's address dealt with
the laws of water through waste. He
made the assertion that in the western
states $50, 100000 was expended annu-
ally in securing and distributing water
for irrigation, ana that of this water
thus distributed fully 50 per cent was
wasted causing a net loss to the peo-
pie of the western states of more than
$50, 100000. He expressed the opinion,
however, that much of this loss could
not be prevented, though he believed
that fully 10 per cent of the enormous
loss could be saved.
Alex Mcpherson of Twin Falls, Ida.
discussed the duty of Water and the
Best Method of Applying 1t to Crops. "
Mr.. McPherson's paper told of expe-
riments of 40 acre farm at Twin
Falls on which are grown 80 different
kinds of crops. His experiments, he
said, had demonstrated the correctness
of Professor Fortier's theory of loss,
through excessive irrigation. He
stated that total of SO inches of wat
err was applied to the farm during the
year and of this amount he estimated
u 40 per cent was lost.

BIG BARN BURNS.
William Packwocds Big Barn, on the Old
Geddcs Ranch, Destroyed by Fire.

Late Thurs day afternoon the big
barn on William Packwood's ranch,
better known as the old Geddis ranch,
together wi. h one horse, two buggie7,
a two horse wagon, two set of harness
two tons of hay and the entire bedding
outfit of the baler crew who were at
work baling on the ranch, were de-
stroyed by fire. While it is not known
how the fire originated, it is generally
believed that matches dropped on the
floor were in some way ignited and
caused the contlagration. The barn is
said to have cost almost - 500 when
built some twenty years ago. Mr.
Packvood estima ties the less at 81, SOC
with only small insurance.

Mobile, Ala. Sept. 30.-With the
burial today of the bodies of all OF
the victims of the hurricane that
devastated this section last week
today, and the restoration of COM
munication with the outside world
this section is beginning to recover
from the effects of the disaster and
citizens of all classes are buckling
down to the work of repairing the
ravages caused by the elements and
relieving the distress of the destitute.
1t is now possible to secure satisfac-
tory estimates of the damage and it
appears that the earlier reports were
exaggerated. The PROPERTY loss in
Mobile will probably not exceed a.,
500, 900 and the loss in the state will
undoubtedly be as much more but it
is so scattered and the citizens have
been so prompt in pledging aid that
it now appears that all of those who
lost their all will be soon in a posi-
ton to begin even better than where
they left off.
The total death list in the city and
in the territory to the south, accord
ing to DR.. Inge, chairman of the relief
committee, is 50 persons, of whom
two thirds are negroes.

GIANTS LOSE TO DAYTON
WAS WELL PLAYED GAME
VirginIans Composed Largely of
League Players, Have all They Can
Do in Defeating Richmond's Color
ed Team.

The Giants gave the vsssinians
from Dayton, hard fight at the Ath-
letic Park yesterday, losing by the
small score of TO 1. The Dayton
team was composed largely of league
players, and put up one of the best ex-
hibitions of ball witnessed here this
season. In spite of the cold wealth
er and bad condition of the ground
the game was snappy.
Up until the eighth inning the Gil
ants had the Dayton team shut out.
An error in that inning by Stokes at
second started the run getting for the
visitors, however, and they did not
quit till the game was won.
Otey, who pitched for the Virgin
ians, is south paw, and he had the
Giants completely at his mercy. He
will be seen here again next SundaS
when he pitches for the Dayton Shi-
lohs. The score:

Washington, D. c., Sept. 30.-When
President Roosevelt returns here to-
morrow evening, he must begin to de-
termine whether an extraordinary
session of congress is necessary. Be-
fore Intervention became a certainty
General Humphrey had on hand So
100000 for army expenses. He is
now spending money on ships alone
at the rate of 100000 day. The
transportations of the various organi-
cations to Newport News means an
expenditure of at least 81 $780, 900. At
this rate tn eallowance for army ex-
penses will be exhausted long before
congress convenes in December.
The question must be decided by
the president as to whether he will
create large deficits in all the items
covered by the army appre priation
bill, or call congress together and
make request for money.

A Hurry 10 Job.


While it will be some years before
we will be able to sail the Panama
canal, picking Panama hats from the
bushes along the banks, yet the deci-
sion of congress to make it a loci
rather than a sea level canal may
hasten the time SO that some of us
now living may reap the benefits OF
the labor
A sea level canal looks the incest on
paper, but somehow it is hard for as
to take much of an interest in a prof.
ect that will be completed in the year
1000 or thereabout
How do we know what kind of a
race will be inhabiting this country by
that time? II it is the Chinese they
might thank US for the trouble of dig
cling the canal, but what would we get
out Of it?
If we started to build a sea leve'
canal airships might have put boats
out Of business by the time it was
done, and the people might at once
proceed to fill it up, so as to make
use of the ground for raising garden
