BIG WHEAT DEMAND IN SIGHT

Two-dollar wheat is among the re-
hottest of possibilities, of course. But
it is the opinion of the federal de-
partment of agriculture the demands
of foreign countries for American
wheat will be larger in the immediate
future than have been their unpre-
cedented ones of the past few months.
And regardless of the enormous wheat
crop that is in sight in this country,
the price of wheat ought to keep up
pretty well. But the spectators are
going to do their best to beat it down
as far as the producers are concerned.
So it would seem to be wise for the
wheat farmers to hold as much of
their wheat as they possibly can dur
ing the weeks Immediately following
the harvest and threshing, unless the
prices offered them are something like
what they should be.

sion that their eggs are the produce
of cooperative associations. A con-
siderable proportion of the associa-
lions adopt a special TRADEMARKS
which, upon registration, is legally
protected. In Hanover, the Chamber
of Agriculture, in 1890, introduced
special mark of this kind which may
be used only by associations which
can offer guarantees that they Will
place upon the market nothing but
perfectly fresh eggs. At the end OF
1913 this trademark was being used
by 107 out of the LAG associations IN
the Province. Sales are made through
resident agents in the large cities; or
eggs are sold, both wholesale and re-
tail, to shops, hotels, boarding houses
and even to private persons. 1t re-
mains a problem of considerable inn
portance how the financial soundness
of customers car best be determined,
as it may easily happen that the as
sociations are called on to support
losses wheE they deal with dishonest
or insolvent buyers.

COOPERATING IN EGGS.

Egg-selling associations prove very
clearly the value of cooperation
among farmers even in the minor
branches of their industry. Such as
sociations have increased very greatly
in number and importance in Ger
many during the last twenty years,
much as they did in Denmark at a
somewhat earlier period. The first
associa tions of the kind were formed
in 1895 and 1896 in Hanover, and
from this Province they have spread
over nearly the whole of the German
Empire. A short article in the March
number of the Bulletin of Economic
and Social Intelligence is devoted to
a general study of the objects and
organization of cooperative egg-sell-
ing associations, and to an interesting
description of the two largest asso-
Citations of, the kind which exist in
Germany. The principal cause which
led to the formation of the associa-
lions was the difficulty experienced
by the farmers in selling their eggs,
especially in out-of-the way districts,
where the farmers could not possibly
dispose of their produce quickly to
the consumers in the towns, and
where they found themselves entirely
in the hands of local merchants and
dealers who offered them unremun-
erative prices. the real function,
therefore, of the associations consists
in eliminating intermediate dealers.
ASSocia tons which are able to offer
eggs upon the market regularly, in
considerable quantities, carefully
graded and conveniently packed, are
in a position to guarantee their
produce, and for that reason can COM
mand a ready sale at good prices in
the city markets. In addition, they
give an impetus to poultry rearing,
not only indirectly by making this
branch of farming profitable, and
therefore worth attention, but directly
also by encouraging the introduction
of good strains of poultry and in
structing their members in the APP

and caring for their stock The first
condition for the success of an assoc
citation IS that it shall furnish eggs

impress upon members the import
ance of consigning without delay all
eggs intended fer sale. A member
who consigns eggs of bad quality is
very severely punished. In order that

No Place for Him if Charge

How long should a prisoner be

Henry Theadens of Beatrice, Ne
braska, has been there since May g
38 days. He is alleged, according to
the entry on the Jail register, to be
insane. Being a resident of Nebraska
he is not eligible to admission to the
Kansas state hospital There appears
to be no charge pending against the

he has relatives.

SCOTT TO PRISON
Man Who Eloped With Mrs.
Stadel Is Sentenced
To Serve From One to Five
Years at Lansing.

Glenn Scott, who established a rep
utation as something of a Don Juan
by clipping with the wife of Walter
Stadel, a clerk in the Topeka post
office. taking with them some of Sta
del's money and a quantity of dry
goods purchased on Stadefs charge
account, pleaded guilty to a charge of
concubinage and was sentenced to
serve an indeterminate sentence of
from one to five years in the Kansas
penitentiary.
When he appeared in the court
room for sentence Scott told the court
he wanted to get to where he could
receive medical care. He said he had
been sick in the Jail, and exhibited
about a foot of slack in the belt line
of his trousers to prove it. Scott was
very fleshy at the time of his arrest.
No action has been taken by federal
authorities in reference to the charge
of desertion from the navy pending
against him. Notice was sent to To-
peka that the navy authorities would
wait for his release from prison after
serving whatever penalty he might
draw for his escapade in Kansas.
Scott deserted from the Ozark Naval
station at Great Lakes, Ill.
