REFORM AT SPECIAL SESSION.

Congress is being bombarded with
letters from all parts of the country
demanding banking reform at the spe-
cial session, which is to be called
for April Z. The tenor Of the letters
is that our banking system should be
made panic-proof before the session of
Congress next December, i'm order
that We may not undergo, in the COM
ing fall, the trouble which we mar
rowly escaped last fall.
1t is now matter of common
knowledge that the situation during
the recent crop-moving period was so
tense that the least jar might have
set off the dynamite; that We had a
narrow escape from another disas-
trous panic.
Some division of opinion is appar-
ent among Democratic leaders as to
whether banking reform shall be
adopted along with tariff revision.
Those with a single eye to the tariff
say that to introduce another issue
along with it would distract public
opinion from it, and minimize the
prospects Of effective work on the
schedules. Those who are urging re-
form of our Anticipated banking sys-
tenn say that it should be adopted in
order to lessen the business shock
which tariff 7evision may bring about
The perponderance of sentiment
seems to be in favor of banking re-
form at the special session. It re-
r.ains to be seen what will be done.

HOG CHOLERA KILLED MILLIONS.

Washington April 12.-Of the loss

The loss Of cattle and sheep in the
year was not so heavy as the year
previous, while the losses of farm
horses and mules were not quite l
per cent greater than the preceding
year.
Losses Of swine from disease were
unusually heavy" says the depart
ment in a statement issued today,
being 110.1 per thousand, as compar-

So the average per thousand Of the

living BY helping the food products or
their way to the consumer. The dis
tribution and sale Of typewriters, cal
leo. shoes, ice, dressed beef, evapo-
rated fruits. and other things, have
been reduced to a definite system
and all Unnecessary expense eliminat-
ed. But the distribution and market
ing Of farm products still are left to
chance.
Until recently we were concerted
chiefly in the worlds markets that
took our surplus; that which We mar
keted at home was Of comparatively
little concern. Domestic consumption
In this country has caught up with
production. Our exports are less than
five per cent ct our total production.
The distributing and marketing Of
that which Is to be consumed at
home has become our chief problem.
Yet we have not, until today, gotten
around to studying this question in
any serious way. The cities have
organized n the interest Of advanta-
geous rates, but no one has studied
how to eliminate the largest waste
We have, the unnecessary moving
about Of our products. The high
freight rates of which we complain
are trivial compared with the waste
l mention: the many hand through
which our products pass without any
thing being added % their value"
Difficult to Organize.
President Waters said the farmer
has been more difficult to organize
than any other man. 1t is a common
notion that he will never be interest
ed in such matters until forced to it
by poverty. But the speaker would
not admit, however, that an excep-
ton in history might not be made in
America. 1t used to be said that far
mers never could be interested in
soil conservation, but this has been
proved untrue, and it has been done
before the soil has attained any mark
ed degree of depletion. Some system
of education with regard to the need
for the details Of cooperation and or
ganization, the speaker believed,
would produce results as striking in
less time and with less effort.
The colleges of the country must
teach the principles of marketing and
distributing and cooperation" Presi-
dent Waters said. "The high schools
must teach the girls how to buy eco
nomically for the farm, and teach
them, also, the relationship their pur-
chases bear to the development Of
their community or state. Efficiency
is of transcendent Importance on the
farm. Without it We might as well
have no organization"

TOO MANY ARE SELLING.
President Waters. In Chicago, Tells
of Food Distribution.

Four men, with improved machin-
cry and the help of science, now
produce a much food as formerly
was produc " by fourteen men.
Where are the ten? With this ques-
ton, Henry ] Waters, president of
the Kansas Agricultural College, be-
gan his address on Educational Aids
to Organization" given before the
First National Conference on Mar
keting and Farm Credit, at Chicago,
last Tuesday.
One of the chief difficulties with
the present system President Wa
tiers said is the fact that the ten
men forced out of the field of pro-
duction BY modern methods | of ma
chinery have not found employment
that is profitable to society, no mat
ter how profitable it may be to
themselves.
Efficiency is Needed.
While the farmer has become,
through better methods, or improved
machinery, much more efficient
producer than in other years, some
thing. said President Waters, had in
terfered to deprive him of a large
part of the advantage that this in
creased efficiency naturally would be
expected to bring. Something, also,
has deprived the consumer of what
ever advantages were expected to
accrue to him through these better
systems.
Organizations. President Waters be-
lieved to be the panacea the remedy
that would make Things AS They
Ought To Be. But this organization
must be efficient.
Organized efficiency will not do"
President Waters said. If We are to
make a success Of this organization
We must continue to educate men
so they may take their proper places
properly. The farmer is already more
efficient as producer than as a buy
ar or seller. but this does not mean
that we should cease to teach him
the details of production, else the
world soon would go hungry. We
must add to our resources in this d.
rection equally profound studies of
the great questions of marketing pro-
ducts and coming the income into
higher standards of life on the farm.
We never can know too much about
anything that is good. Very little can
be expected from an organization of
men who do not know how to con-
duct the business or enterprise they
seek to control. By knowing how l
mean having the best first-hand in
formation always ready"
President Waters said that the ia
cilities for distributing and marketing
farm products never were so ample
and adequate as at present, yet is is
costing more to get these products to
the consumer than at any time in the
past. The cost Of living also is higher
than ever. although the land never
was so intelligently titled.
Too Many Handlers.

Waters. 1T is a clear case of too
large proportion of those who have
