U. S. HOPES ELIMINATION
OF CHIEFS MEANS PEACE

Washington. D. C., Sept 27.-Devel-
opments in the Mexican situation today
awaited the outcome Of the conference
between Carranza and Villa leaders. A
feeling of optimism prevailed in ad-

hoped the elimination of both CarranZa
and Villa as presidential candidates
would heal the breach and bring peace.
At the cabinet meeting the situation
was discussed and secretary Bryan
brought late dispatches from the con
sular agents in Mexico. The admin
istrz tons attitude was still described
as one Of watchful waiting.

Announcement

Beginning with this issue The Pacific
Dairyman is consolidated with The
Ranch and all subscriptions to The
Dairymen will be fulfilled by The
Ranch. By this consolidation Mr.. c.
S. Whitmore, formerly proprietor of
The Pacific Dairyman, becomes adver-
Using manager of The Ranch. No
effort will be spared to make The
Ranch the leading agricultural paper
of the Pacific Northwest. A wide
awake subscription campaign will be
started at once. 1t is also the inten-
ton of the proprietors of The Ranch
to give the Pacific Northwest farm
ers the best service an agricultural
paper has ever attempted to give.
The several departments of The Ranch
are under competent experts and we
ask that our subscribers freely use
The Ranch and it's editorial staff to
help solve any problems which con-
front them. ASK QUESTIONS. We
will have them answered either by the
editor or some other competent person.
1t is the aim of The Ranch to be of
real service to its readers.

Postmaster General Burleson has
recently issued two very important
orders effecting the use of the parcels
post. One raises the weight on such
articles as fruits, vegetables, poultry
from 20 to SO pounds. There is no
reason under this ruling that farmers
cannot work up good trade in ship
ping their produce fresh to city GUS
TONER'S They should take advantage
of this now and get market for their
produce. The other ruling effects
seedsmen. Heretofore seedsmen
could not send seeds or bulbs by par
eel post. The result has been that
the seedsmen of the Coast have been
under a big handicap as they we're
compelled to pay the same amount OF
postage as the seedsmen in the East.
Now they can cover the local fields at
big saving.
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1914-05-01
ASK QUESTIONS

The editors of The Ranch desire
to be of real service to their sub
scribers. To this end we are going
to ask them to write freely and tell
us of their troubles of any kind and
ask questions on any subject. If the
editor himself cannot answer them
he will refer them to some of his de-
partment editors who are specialists
in their lines. The day has come
when the agricultural paper to sue
coed must be of real service to the
farmer. 1t must be edited by men
who know farming conditions. In
this particular The Ranch is ex-
tremely fortunate having for it's
editor man who was raised on
farm and has always taken a deep in
terest in agricultural conditions. He
doesn't pretend to know it all but he
does know some things and believes
he can be of real service to his sub
scribers. He therefore asks them to
tell him their troubles and he will at
tempt to help them in every way.

While it is unfortunate that King
county Will not have it's annual fair
this year, there will be at least three
local fairs which should have the sup
port of all. The East Side Fair of
kirkland has been in successful
operation for the past two years and
promises to be better than ever. The
Snoqualmie Valley Fair held at Duvall
had their first fair last year and was
quite successful in every way. They
are arranging for a better fair this
year. This is sple ndid neighbor-
hood and they take a great deal of
interest in their fair. The Vashon
Island fair which used 10 be one of
the best small fairs in the state will
be held atain this year. 1t was dis
continued on account of the county
fair. The enthusiastic fruit and
vegetable growers there are arranging
to make splendid show of the Island
products. The Ranch hopes all of
these fairs may be successful.

Farmers should be on their guard
when approached for their signatures
to the many proposed new laws. At
least II petitions are being circulated.
While most Of these laws are in the
interests of better government; are all
right, and should be endorsed by the
public, there are a few of them that
should not be endorsed. Among
these is the proposed eight hour law
Initiative measure No. 2. If this
should become a law as outlined it
would work to the farmers serious
disadvantage. The time has not
come when farming can be run on
an eight hour schedule. 1t is prob
ably a good law for factories but will
not apply to farming and household
conditions. In our diaries and in
our wheat fields especially, and in
fact most all farming operations,
farmers would be compelled to keep
two sets of laborers. They should
prepare TO resist this law. All of
these new proposed laws will be
treated during the campaign in the
columns of The Ranch that all may
become familiar with their provisions.

FARMERS TALK MARKETING AND
COOPERATION

On page four we are publishing a
short resume of the Second Annual
Conference of Farm Credits and
Farm Marketing recently held in
Chicago. At later periods we shall
publish some of the papers which
we're read at this meeting. This con-
ference originated through the CO.
operation of what is known as the AS
ISOLATED Farm Papers, of which The
Ranch is a member, and the first con-
vention was held year ago.
Some very able papers were read at
the convention. One Of these, by
Professor John Graham Brooks. on
the Economic Limits of Co-opera-
tion." He showed how far co-opera
ton could go and what was necessary.
Another paper, ''The Economic
Functions of Middlemen, was by
David Friday. He took very strong
grounds against the middlemen and
raised storm of protest. However,
his paper is one that the farmer
should thoroughly consider.
"The Normal Expense of Market
ing GRAIN" by G. f. Merriam, Sec
rotary of the Board of Trade of
Chicago. Mr.. Merriam's paper was
practically plea for higher rates for
the railroads and while he made
good case for the railroads he over
looked some important features from
the farmers standpoint.
Perhaps the ablest address so far as
the farmers are interested was by T.
N. Carver, of the Agricultural De-
partment, Washington, D. @. This
was outlining the work of the Rural
Organization Service. If the farmers
of the United States could all be in
duced to read this address and put

the first in the field with their premi-
