EGG GAMBLERS 10 BLAME.

People bark ZIP the wrong tree when
they blame TIE egg producer for the
high price of eggs. The department
of agriculture WJShington puts the
responsibility where it belongs-on
the big cold storage companies, the
egg gamblers Those tricksters de-
clare its the weather or that the
growing population has SO increased
the demand that the supply cannot
meet it. This is all fake. The most of
the eggs consumed in winter are laid
in early summer; some several sum-
mers before.
Farm hens, from which most of the
winter egg supply comes FROM in gen
eral, lay but little out of the warm
season, and only mild winter like
last year makes them change the hab-
it, and then eggs tumble in spite of
all the trust can do.
The population has increased. the
demand for eggs has increased, but
the production of eggs has greatly in
creased and. wonderful to relate, has
kept ahead of the population. In ten
years eggs jumped from 1903 GG2 900
dozens to 1,591,311.371 dozens.
This is only on farms and does not
include the millions produced on town
and city lots.
In 1899 the per capita was II dozen.
2O4 eggs to every person: in 1909 the
per capita was 17.3 dozen. in 1912 it
was III, and in 1913 the increase
guarantees per capita of us dozen
to every man, woman and child in
the country.
All this time in the face of incrcas-
ed production, egg gamblers have been
pushing up the price. In 1899 the
highest wholesale price at New York
for average fresh eggs was SO cents,
In 1904 1t was Al cents and in Novem-
Der. 1912 60 cents. In November. 1913.
there were 100000 dozens stored In
Pennsylvania and many millions more
in other states, and, not content with
a corner on summer eggs, the storage
companies have their agents out after
all the fresh winter supply, and at this
writing the fresh winter egg Is NOV
ing toward the dollar mark. While
warm winter weather occasionally
knocks out the gamblers and a general
boycott has some effect. the only rem
edy is national law that restricts
the storage of eggs to six months, so
that they must be turned on the mar
ket in normal quantities and thus sell
at normal price.
This law the United States authori-
ties are advocating, and while attend
ing to the egg trust the government
should also put the screws on the
grain trust. for with these two work
ing against him the honest egg pro
Queer is rather between the devil and
the deep sea.

Farmers Letter.
BY CAPT. T. r. PECK

For the pastfew years one Of
the hardest problems the farm
ershaysccptended with was the
question Of farm labor During
that time there has beenremark-
able activity inrailroad building,
misunderstanding, the lumber 10.
dustrY and mining. Along with
this there has been a phenomi-
nal growth in the cities and
TOWNS, ! 'all9 requiring labor at
llricestthatssWsre attractive to
the laborers on the farms, and
Induced many Of them to leave
the farmsfor public works.
Matters drifted along well with
them fora a time. The weekly
and monthly pay days were new
and novelsto them; they were
getting more money than they
had been receiving on the farm,
and getting 1t oftener. They
just had SO many hours to work,
which, during the summer
months. were shorter than many
Of them had been putting 10 on
thefArineand for a time many Of
them felt'that they had broken
the shackles Of form Of bond
age.
After atime they realized that
to insure their pay envelopes
having theamounts In them on
pay day that they had based
their calculations on, they had
to get in every day; that they
had TO be there on time and stay
until the whistle sounded for
quitting time; that q day lost
meant . shortage in the money
they would have to spend.
They also began to find out
that they bad many things to
buy that they had never taken
in consideration. On they farm
they had no house rert to pay,
they had no water rent to pay,
no fuel to buy, they had their
garden, they had pasturage for
their COW, they could keep some
hogs and some chickens. They
began to realize, when they
thought about what'their money
was being spent for, that they
were paying it for things that
they had raised at home without
any loss 81. time to them, and
most remarkable of all, when
they got through paying for those
things they had less money clear
than they had while working on
the farm.
They found out, too, that when
sickness or bad weather or a
shutdown Of works caused them
10 lose time these expenses went
90 just the same, and if kept up
long enough would get them
hopelesslyin debt.
Then the tendency Of labor to
concentrate on public works also
had q tendency to decrease the
price Of labor, and the shortage
Of labor on the farm decreased
farm production proportionately
aud increased the prices they
had to pay for the things they
must have to live on, resulting
in putting many laboring men
where IL was hard to keep the
wolf from the door.
Many would gladly return to
the farm ii they could. Some Of
them whnsthought, when leaving
the farm, they were getting out
Of bondage realize now that they
made mistake, that the latter
condition is,worse~thad the first
and not 80 easy to get away
from. Theys are behind with
their rent and their grocery
man. When they get their pay
envelopes they must go for debt
and will not 20 around, but a lit
tie must be paid to each or they
will not advanced for another pay
