This will be good news for the boys

man. Smith figures that the men are
able to take care of themselves in
such emergencies, and he will take
no action unless called upon by the
man who is thus offended, or would
you say honored and complimented?
The police chiefs statement Is tenn

FIX RUBBER PRICES
Manufacturers of Crude Product
in Mexico Form Organization.
Discrimination Is Alleged and Foreign
Dealers, Especially In United
States, Are PreJudlced
Against Para Product.

Torreon, Mexico The manufac-
turers OF crude rubber from the quay
ale shrub are forming strong organ
ization. which has for Its purpose the
fixing of the price that shall be paid
for the product and to protect them
selves against the determinations
which they allege Is being practised
against this kind Of rubber in the prin-
cipal markets of the world. particu-
larly in the United States.
The guayule rubber manufacturing
companies and individuals composing
this new combine represent a capital
aggregating about SIS, 900, 900 gold that
is now invested in the industry In
Northern Mexico. The combined ca
pacity Of the manufacturing plants is
about 800 tons of crude rubber daily.
The reports Of the different factories
show that those located IN the state
OF Coahuila alone has outputs aggre-
eating S12.000,0c0 during the first four
months Of this year, and that this is
to be still further increased by the
erection Of new factories Of large ca
pacity.
The chief concerns interested In the
movement to improve prices and mar
ket conditions of the crude products
are the ContinentalMexican Rubber
company of Torreon. the Compania Ex-
plotadora Coahuilense of Parras. the
Mexican Crude Rubber company Of
Viesca. the Compania Ganadera de la
MERGED of Cuatro Cienegas. the Com
pania Guayulera de Torreon, s. A., Of
Torreon; the Compania Hulera Mexi-
cana of Gomez Palacio, La Internacion-
al Mexicana OF Torreon, the Compania
Hulera de la Laguna. s. A., Of Tor
reon; the Compania Huayulera Ma
cfonal, 8. A, of Gomez Palaoio; the
Compania Mexicana Explitadora de
Hule of Torreon, Othan Kateerfeldt Of
Gomez Palacio. and Enrico Northoldt
Of Torreon.
The complaint of the manufacturers
Is that the foreign dealers and brokers
n rubber arbitrarily fix a price on
the guayule rubber considerably below
hat which is paid for the PARA prod
lct, and that of rubber trees in other
parts of the world without regard to
the relative difference in the cauchouic
properties of the two products. The
fact is cited that while the rubber tree
product is accepted on a basis of 80
per cent. on it's gross weight, an al
lowance of only as to so per cent on
its gross weight is made for guayule
rubber. 1t is claimed that an analysis
Of guayule rubber shows that 1t aver

ufacturers being therefore deprived of
practically one-third of the value of
the product In its sale. When the
PARA and other rubber tree products
were selling for s125 pound, offers
of 80 to 80 cents per pound were made
for guayule rubber.
II is the purpose of the guayule rub
Der combine to demand an equalization
OF the prices, which will place their

FOOD FOR cows is WASTED
Governor Brown Of Georgia Tells
Farmers Method Of Pulling Fod-
der 10 Costly One.

Atlanta, Ga.-Governor Brown n q
strong believer In the conservation OF
the national resources and a foe to
waste. On the simple matter of corn.
stalks Governor Brown figures that
Georgia is throwing away enough feed
TO keep a million head of cattle.
II Is a well-known fact that while
the farmers Of Georgia pull the leaves
from the corn for fodder, leaving the
stalk standing to support the ear Of
corn. through the northern and west
ern states II Is the custom to cut the
stalk down. shock It up and then to
shred 1t for cattle feed after the corn
has been taken Of
Governor Brown Is of the opinion
that the method now in vogue in this
state Of pulling fodder is an exceed
ingly wasteful one and he would well
come the introduction of shredding
machines as a saving to farmers of
millions Of dollars annually.
THE impression prevails among
our farmers" the governor said, that
the corn would shrivel up II the stalk
were cut down. Such Is not the case.
When the fodder Ia pulled the corn
stalk dies and dies Just as quickly as
II the plant had been cut down.
'The leaves on the stalk are the
lungs Of the plant and when they are
stripped off the plant dies. Heretofore
cornstalks have been considered a nui-
sanoe on the land and they are gener-
ally raked up and burned. Now there
are probably a ton of corn stalks to
an acre. A ton and half would be a
nearer estimate. With 5000, 900 acres
In Georgia planted In corn the stalk
waste would be sufficient to carry
through the winter a million head of
cattle. Think how much this would
mean to the Georgia farmer in meat
value, to say nothing of the manure.
