PLAN FOR ENCOURAGEMENT
OF FARM development

Chicago, H., Mar. 20.-With the pur-
pose OF creating a closer cooperation
among land men and with the object
OF carrying out several broad-guage
ideas which contemplate further en-
couragement Of farm development with
organized protection for farm land
purchasers, the National Association
Of Land Men has been organized here
and its officers are to extend their
campaign for support to land men
throughout the entire country.
James Porter. Reinbeck, Ia, has
been chosen for president of the new
association, and the other officers in
clude d. II. Anderson, proprietor of
Irrigation Age, Chicago; d. ]. Splane.
A. b. Hulit and s. B. Pugh. The di-
rectors, including the officers, are F.
e. GoodalI. Spokane, Wash; R. w.
MagilI. Brownsville, Tex; Fred r.
Reed, wendall. Idaho; H. N. Nichols,
Chicago; John c. o'Neill, Chicago;

Chicago; R. S. Butterfield. Chicago; T..
Burton Waterman, Medford, Ore; H..
B. Hening. secretary bureau Of immi-
grafton, Albuquerque, N. M.
In its papers Of incorporation the
association sets forth that 1t has six
initial purposes In view. First of
these is the procuring through the
organization of the support of the
press of the country and of public men
in giving publicity to the advantages
of farming in general. The organiza-
tion also is to advocate the idea of
having the government, assume charge
OF the inspection and marking Of all
fruits and vegetables which are in
tended for commercial purposes, the
object of this inspection being to pre-
vent alleged dishonesty in re-marking
or regarding products from the var
ious states.
The association will seek through
state legislatures to have enacted a
statute requiring all real estate deal
ers to procure state license before
they can transact business, with a
provision in the law that II any oper-
ator having such license is found
guilty at any time of fraudulent real
estate transactions his license shall
be revoked and the privilege of pro-
curing another denied.
OF Importance to the land seeker
will be a bureau which the organiza-
tion purposes to establish to receive
complaints against alleged dishonest
companies or individuals. These com
plants will be investigated by the cor
poration, through its members. and
viii be approved or disapproved by the
association as a whole, the decision to
be made public. The organization is
also to cooperate with other associa.
tions toward promoting various farm
produce expositions and will also es-
tablish such expositions where needed
out of It's own funds.

experts say 1t is the truth. In dag
nosing the complaint and looking for
its cause. they say that cheap eggs
and poultry contribute little, but
that cheap pork and mutton are main
causes OF the stagnation in beef chan
nels. Both pork and mutton are more
than three dollars per cwt. cheaper
now than year ago on the hoof, while
cattle average only one dollar cheaper.
Retailers get better margin on pork
and mutton than on beef, and conse-
quently push those varieties, at the
expense of beef. The end of the lib
eraI sheep supply is in sight it is
claimed, although Arizona and Texas
will stare them early, sometime in
April, account of good rains there last
month. The cattle run today here is
10000 head fairly good elsewhere.
and the same old spring fever is oper-
ating in the market, weak to Is lower.
Beef steers get the maximum cut, as
they have for the past week, butcher
grades escaping with slight loss, stock
ers and feeders firm. Calves of all
kinds received a pair of black eyes last
week, and lost few teeth today, mar
ket one dollar lower than week ago.
Top steers today $685., top feeders
$500, bulk of beef steers $3.50 to $6.15,
cows s4.OO to $5.25, bulls $500 to s5.25.
calves $3.50 to $7.25, quarantine steers
$4.75 to 1915, stock steers $4.25, to
$500, feeders $40 to 5000.
Oceans Of hogs since week ago,
and nearly every one Of them a big
one, has convinced packers that prices
ought to come down a peg, and the
market is 80 to 40 cents below a week
ago. Run is 10000 here today, prices
off Is to 20 cents, heavy hogs selling
at $3.50 to 1856, medium weights $3.50
to $685., lights $3.50 to $6.67h. An ex-
traordinary demand for lard from
abroad keeps heavy weights up within
respectable distance from the top.
Runs have been nearly double the
supply of year ago, and are jump
ing up faster than anybody expected,
conclusive evidence, If any were need
ed, that the country has been holding
back and feeding for weight. (
Sheep and lambs are coming pretty
freely, but the prices are holding up
good, is to 25 cents higher today than
week ago, although lambs closed 10
lower today. Mutton channels seem
to be open at present values, and the.
II 900 head here today found fairly
ready outlet, lambs at $500 to $685.
for decent stuff, yearlings $500 to
$5.75, wethers up to $500, clipped
wethers $4.25 to $44O, ewes $4.0O to
$4S5. Colorado is furnishing three
fourths the run, and will likely keep
them coming for a month ahead. Late
Easter this year will hurt the early
spring lamb market.

Dwight p. Cushman of Hebron has
notified the department of inland
fisheries and game that he has shot a
strange bird, which he believes to be
a passenger pigeon, and will have the
same mounted and sent to the repart-
ment. The passenger was once
great pest to Maine crops, but has
been supposed TO be extinct for the
past 20 years and the American Or
Society has offered re-
y ard of $1,000 for the finding of a pas
Henger pigeon nest with live birds IN

the domestic pigeon.

the find believes that 1t is possible

thinks is a passenger pigeon is a
dove. somewhat smaller
bird, which does not usually find ITS
