partment of agricultural chemistry
of the College of Agriculture of the

experiments which will be carried
out under the direction of Prof. C.
P. Forgord by the superintendent
of the various farms. Manures
treated in various ways are applied
to fields side by side and the same
crop planted on these fields. This
fall, when the demonstration meet
ings are held, the effect of the diff
ferent treatments will probably be
clearly shown by the difference in
the crop in the different fields.

The farmers all over the country
are organizing for the purpose of
securing better prices for their pro-
duce. The figures show, in the
city of New York alone for instance,
that $60,000.O00 was paid last year
for potatoes for which the farmer
received only So, 500, 900. Cabbages
cost the city people $9,125, 900,
while the farmer received but ST.
100000. Milk cost the city consum-
er $40 100000, and less than half
that amount found it's way into the
pocket of the dairyman. For his
onions the consumer in that city
paid $8,212,000, while the farmer
who grew them was paid only $751;
900. The farmers are of the opin-
ion that this disparity is entirely too
great, and the result is that there
are being formed organizations
throughout the country near the
large cities for the purpose of sell
ing their produce direct and elimin-
ating the middle man.
