DONATION To MILLION DOLLARS

Chicago, April 11-A committee
authorized at the closing session
of the conference on marketing and
farm credits will go to Washington in
few days and present to President
Wilson the conclusions of the 500 scien-
t1f1c agriculturists, financiers and econ
omists who have met here for three
days.
They will appeal for the establish
ment by the government of a bureau
Tor the study of markets, cvrops and
cost OF transporting foodstuff. They
VIII insist that the appropriation of
S3Oo0O for such an organiza ton which
is now pending be increased to $1,000,-
600. They will also ask for federal
loans for farmers.
The chairman, Frank P Holland,
also will name committee in each
state to place the matter before the
state governments and secure favor
able action.
Arrangements were undertaken for a
second national conference to open in
Chicago on April IA, 1914, and for an
international conference at San Fran
cisco in 1915
A Topekan on Committee.
The members of the committee which
will go to Washington include: Dr. J.
Fl. Connell of the Oklahoma AgricuI-
tura1 college; Arthur Capper of Topeka,
and 1t. Gov. S. r. McKelvie of Ne
raska
The report of the committee on reso-
lutions states
The cost of taking the products of
the farm to the consumers is unnec-
essarily large. Efficient methods are
of pre-eminent value in reducing the
cost and raising the standard of liv-
ing. The government should establish
an agency to study problems of mar
keting and to distribute information
state universities, agricultural col
leges and newspapers, both in the city
and country, should give the question
their immediate attention"
1t is the opinion of the conference
that the small farmer is at present un-
able to secure for sufficient time at a
tions, the capital with which to pur-
chase farm, or to procure equipment.
Aid in Loans to Farmers
1t recommends that national and state
governments and other agencies men
toned above, should give immediate
consideration to the provision of ade-
Quate means to which farmers NAV Sc
cure loans, under favorable conditions.
I'VE favor organized cooperation of
consumers and producers and rapid ex-
tension of the parcel post as a potent
factor in reducing the cost and facilitat-
ing the distribution of products
The committee distribution as
serted that every state college should
have a market bureau So that farmers
may be furnished accurate data relative
to the demand for each community.
Waters on Permanent Committee.
The future of the conference is left in
he hands of a representative committee,
of DR.. J. H. Connell, chairman;
7. Waters, president of the Kansas Agri- |
cultural college, and others.

| Does John R. MuIyane to State
Bankers.
Law of Reserve as Applied to
Banks in Small Towns.
Senator Wilson Tells Expert.
ences i'm Legislature.
New Member Has to Work
Hard for Recognition.

John r. Mulvane, president of the
Bank of Topeka, characterized the
banking law that compels a state bank
in a town with a population of five
thousand to hold a reserve at all times
of twenty-five per cent as ridiculous -
He asserted that in fact no other
country, pagan or otherwise, has such
a law. He contended that if a reserve
is good proposition it should be held
to meet an emergency and not as a
useless asset.
Mr.. Mulvane said: THAT it is timid-
ly made use of in times of distress we
all know, but we also know that this
practice when INDUCED in is a direct
violation of law.

Price Of Cotton.

The prices Of produce are strength
ening and the farmers are beginning to
come around and smile again. The crop
prospects in the summer were very dis
couraging, but the shortage is probably
more than compensated in the advance
OF the market. F. L. Pittman, gem
eral manager OF the Union City Ginning
Co. was paying $40 for cotton yester-
day, and up to date be has bought and
baled 175 bales, fifty bales more than
had been baled this time last year. The
price Of old corn is rs cents in the I'm

bought for 60 cents. This means, Of
course, dry corn. This is good for the
