Since November 1 last the North Ger

Tn. Cattle Situation.

Chicago, Sept. 1S.-About the quick
est way to upset conditions in cattlo
trade and effect a sharp break In
prices, such as has been noted in the
last week, is for feeders to begin liqui-
dating OH big scale at time when
demand is narrow. There were many
sales of medium to pretty good killing
steers Wednesday, which showed 400
90 cents decline from best prices paid
a week ago, and, barring strictly prime
heavy beeves and the best classes or
yearlings, others were 20 q 40 cents
lower. Not in long time has the de-
mand been more Indifferent than at
present Wednesday it was impossible
to effect a clearance and today many
cattle, including hold-overs, did not
meet with bids.
Reasons for the hard pounding of
the market are plainly apparent. Chi
cago has had 1920 cattle in four days
this week, gain of 21,SO0 over week
ago. while the west has been supplied
with an excess of cattle, largely plain
and habitat steers, forced marketWard
owing to the dried-up pastures. Long
continued drought has been q serious
menace to cattle feeders prosperity. Had
there been a few heavy rains In the
last two weeks pastures would now
be in quite good shape and the mar
kets would have missed the Cutting
which has developed Of late. The
burned-up pastures have put cattle
holders in a bad way for feed and
liquidation with many of them has
been necessity.
Killers have not had use for such
excessive supplies, and big quantity
of beef has gone into the freezers to
be held for future months, when
shortage of cattle is anticipated owing
to the comparatively light number OF
thin steers going on feed this season.
There is little for the owner of a drove
Of hungry steers to do but ship them
when his pastures are cut short ana
corn is.too high priced to warrant IN
vestment to feed.
1t would take many bushels OF hign-
priced corn to put the grassers IN
strictly good shape. and this the own
ers do not appear anxious to do. Inc
dry weather has been misfortune LOT
all but the killers. Were pastures goou
they would not now be getting excess
sive supplies at comparatively cheap
figures. Feeders would be holding
big percentage of their steers at ieas.
until the range marketing was Wen
over for the season.

Farm Life to Meet. ,y-

Washington, Sept. 1S.-Farmers in
all sections of the country are mani
Testing great interest in the forthcom-
ing meeting of the commission on farm
life, appointed by President Roosevelt,
What do the farmers need in addition
to bountiful crops to make them hap
by? What can the government do to
populate the farms and keep the agri-
culturists out of the cities? These ques-
tions are being answered by the far
mers themselves since the president
appointed the committee of five ex-
perts to investigate. While the COM
mission will not assemble for a week
or ten days, letters are coming in from
farmers who have ideas to suggest.
1t is surprising to the officials here
who are reading these letters as re-
ceived, that the farmers from the four
corners of the United States should
unite practically with unanimity upon
recommending. as one of the most i'm
portant methods Of making country life
attractive, the erection of community
houses.
Would Gust Middlem an.
The club life that means so much to
the city man is wanted by the farmers
along with the other features of rural
progress They want place to meet,
TO smoke, to white, talk crops and
read Some propose that the meeting
rooms could be provided in connection
with the school house, others that
spare room or two might be found at
the postoffice. No one has minated
that the government should build in
each community such house.
Another suggestion which is general
ly supported by the farmers Is that
some arrangement should be provided
for removing the middlemen. The far
mers, whether they raise cotton. grain,
cattle or truck. protest against divid--
ing their legitimate profits with COM
mission merchants and others who
market the crops for them. If they
can not by organization arrange to sell
thru their members or representatives,
then they hope the government COM
mission will find some way by which
the grain elevators, stock yards. COM
mission merchants and other middle
men may be forced to reduce their
charges.
And Women's Clubs, Too.
The women folks" upon the farms
are not hesitating to impress their
opinions upon the questions involved.
They do not envy their city sisters,
but they do insist that they should
have as much pleasure in life. They do
not ask that theaters be erected at the
cross roads, nor that stretches of road
way be paved for promenades; but,
like the .'men folks" they want some
place where they can meet. They pro-
pose an enlargement Of the old church
sewing circle idea. They want a room,
conveniently located, where they may
gather at short intervals. bring their
sewing, may be, and do little gossip
ing, perhaps, while they talk over the
features of farm life that occupy their
attention.
The commission, before 1t fairly gets
down to work, will encourage those
upon the farms to make suggestions
freely.
