NEW BUREAU FOR
STUDY OF CROPS
Farmers and FinanCierS Ad-
vOCate Organization.
FEDERAL LOANS TO FARMERS
Under Federal Control, a Thorough
Study OF Markets, Crops and Cost
Of Transporting Foodstuffs
Would Be Efficient.

Chicago-A committee, authorized
at the closing sessions Of the Confer
ence on Marketing and Farm Credits,
will go to Washington in a few days
and present to President Wilson the
conclusions of the 500 scientific agri-
culturists, tinanciers and economists
who met here,
They will appeal for the establish
ment by the government OF a bureau
for the thorough study of markets,
crops and cost of transporting food
stuffs They will assert that the ap-
preparation of $4,000 for such an
organization, which now is pending,
should be increased to 100000 They
will ask for federal loans to farmers.
The chairman, Frank p. Holland, also
will name a committee in each state
to place the matter before the state
governments and secure favorable
action
Arrangements were undertaken for
a second national conference to open
in Chicago on April Il, 1914, and for
an international conference at San
Francisco in 1915.
To the President they will read the
report of the committee on resolutions,
which states among other things:
The cost of taking the products Of
the farm to the consumers is unneces-
sarily large and the methods employ
ed are wasteful. Economical and
efficient methods for the distribution
Of these farm products are Of pre-
eminent Importance in reducing the
cost and raising the standard Of
living. The government should estab-
lish an effective agency for the study
Of the problems of marketing and for
the distribution Of information as to
conditions and needs and rational
methods of meeting these needs.
The state governments, in similar
manner, should take up the study of
more economic and efficient systems
of marketing The universities, agri-
cultural colleges, newspapers and or
CARNATIONS for the promotion of eco
nomic welfare, both in the city and
country, should give the question their
immediate attention"

King Alfonso owes his escape to his
own courage, quickness and skilled
craftsmanship. Accompanied by his
staff, he was riding along the Gale

ceremony of swearing in recruits,
when a man sprang from the side
walk and seized the bride from the
Kings horse with one hand, present
ing revolver point blank at him

The King, realizing the situation,
with lightning rapidity dug his spurs
into his horse, which reared VIC

life. The bullet, instead of burying
itself in the Kings breast, struck
the horse on the neck, but so close
was it that the Kings left-hand glove
was blackened by the powder dis
