AN APPEAL ron FAIR PLAY

At the last session of the Legisla-
ture, Senate Bill No. III was passed,
requiring the railroads OF Missouri TO
place an additional man on nearly
every train operated in the State.
The railroads maintain that the
employment OF such additional men

service, and insist there Is no pro-
cess, economic or otherwise, that will
provide payment for the additional
men without the cost eventually reach

u THE FARMER Asleep

~ THE FARMER ASLEEP?
Nose u. Land yesterday handed W.
a circular signed by the millers OF
81. Louis and vicinity containing an
urgent appeal TO save the armer and
the milling business. We do not IA
vor any such hysteric efforts. The
people have declared for free-trade
and should have II without any CON
niption fits" They have applied for
a good dose and we know that If they
take II straight" they are likely TO
remember II longer than II they get
only a partial dose. With the circu-
lar was the following article which
Mr.. Land requests us TO publish.
when the farmer In such great
wheat growing states as Missouri.
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois. Kansas.
Minnesota and the Dakotas realize
how the apparent protection OF ten
cents per bushel upon foreign wheat
and the admission OF foreign milled
flour duty free effects the earnings
OF his farm, there is sure TO be an out
cry that will make itself unmistak-
ably heard In Washington.
The truth Is that under the present
provision of the Underwood bill there
will be no perfection on wheat be-
cause foreign milled flour will be add
mitted free.
The result will be that mills In
Canada, Argentina, Australia and
other wheat growing countries, and
especially In Great Britain, whose
Hour mills located on the docks OF her
principal ports, draw wheat from all
over the world. will ship flour TO
New York aud other American sea
scaboard markets. and sell there NJ
less than a United States mill could
manufacture the same grade OF Hour
rem wheat grown In the United
States.
A Canadian miller likewise would
flood interior and seaboard markets
with flour below the bare cost price
OF the United States miller sellinG
IN competition.
The immediate results will be that
the American miller can only buy
American grown wheat at a price In
with foreign grown wheat
raised by the underpaid, underfed
laborers OF Russia. South America.
India and other countries, whose
standards OF living are far below that
OF the American farmer.
The salvation of the American
wheat grower depends upon the
American miller, who asks no favor,
but simply seeks an equal opportun-
lily with foreign millers in the home
market.
Every farmer Is vitality interested
In this question. and he should there
lore lose NJ time in communicating
his views to the congressman from his
district, and to the United States SEN
ators from his state. He should
arouse his neighbors to the gravity of
the situation. and through his local
farmers associations or grangers utter
a loud and insistent protest.
The duty on foreign wheat does not
help the American farmer unless
there is an equal duty on the pro
ducts OF foreign wheat.
AS the Underwood bin is now well
on Its way to passage any. action to
be effective must be immediate.
Farmers and farmers associations,
the time is short, write your senators
and congressman Immediately to sec
that a duty be placed on wheat pro.
duets equal to the duty placed C.

Birds Well Cared for and Many Ex-

Time.

The poultry show at the Texas Cot

16, promises to be one of the big fea-
lures of this years exposition. The
superintendent reports that space has
already been reserved for nearly 500
birds.
From present indications the utility
breeds-the Plymouth Rocks, Reds,
Orpingtons, Wyandottes and Leghorns
will all be represented by strong
classes. Applications for premium lists
have been received from more than
twenty states.
There will be large entries in sew
eral of the more ornamental classes
of poultry and there will be pigeons
and ducks galors.
The majority of last years exhibit
tors spoke highly of Mr. Strecker's
management of the show-the birds
we're well taken care of and the
premiums were paid promptly.
The new building for the poultry de-
partment is nearing completion and
will be in readiness to receive the
birds when they arrive.
