CREATING MARKET
FOR FARM PRODUCTS
To Get a Number of Buyers at a Mar
ket One Must Have the Goods
to Sell.

(By VIM. A. Schoenfeld Division of
Extension, University Of Tennessee,)
If you had span of mules to sell
and had made arrangement with John
Jones to meet him at the county court
house, at three o'clock Saturday after
noon, for the purpose of selling the
mules, the spot near the county court
house Mr. Jones, three o'clock Satur-
day afternoon, would constitute the
market for the mules. You can readily
see that if you could induce John
Smith to meet you at the same place
and time, so that he could also bid
on the mules, that you would have
improved your market one hundred
per cent That is, you would then
have two buyers instead of one, who
would in all likelihood compete with
each other for your span of mules.
Fundamentally the points necessary
for a good active market are: COM
mon meeting place, sufficient quanti-
ty Of marketable farm products, a
large number of competing buyers, and
a fixed time when these products will
be offered for sale.
It cannot be expected that large
number of buyers be present at a sale
when only small amount of products,
Of low value, is offered. Hence, it is
nftpn r111T11hn nf
farmers to combine their offerings of
farm products, and to offer the prod
ucts for sale at the same time and
place so as to make it worth while for
the buyers to come and compete.
Many instances can be cited where
farmers have co-operated in creating
markets for their products. The Good
lettsville, and Lebanon, Tennessee,
lamb and wool clubs; the tobacco
growers, in the Carthage, Tennessee,
tobacco section; the mule raisers, sur
rounding Columbia, Tennessee, have
successfully created markets for their
products by recognizing the funda-
mentals necessary for creating mar
ket.
The Division of Extension, of the
University of Tennessee, Knoxville,
and U. s. Department Of Agriculture
stand ready to assist all unorganized
and organized groups of farmers or
communities in establishing markets
for their products, providing sufficient
quantity of any product is on hand to
make a home market feasible.

ment set by the trainers Of the con-
stitution.
1t is not the purpose Of this writ
er to express an opinion in this
connection as to the merits Of the
various proposals for the extension
of the national power, but he simp-
ly wants to call attention to the
indubitable fact that we are facing
a crisis in the life Of this country.
We have reached the parting ofthe
ways. We must either leave the
respective powers OF the dual gov
ernments as they are and as they
have been since the birth of this
country, or we must break away
from the existing theory Of our
government and, turning our
backsto the past, plunge boldly on
guided by our new conception of
national power, national duty and
national responsibility.

THANKSGIVING.

The first national Thanksgiving
may be said to have been the one
offered up at st. Paul's cathedral,
London, for the defeat Of the Span
i& armada, September, 1888. The
English settlers in this country nat
urally adopted the custom of their
native land, and at an early period
in our colonial history Thanksgiving
became quite common. The institu-
ton may be said to be the natural
outgrowth of human nature and has
probably existed in some form or
other from the earliest tines.-Ex-

CONSTITUTIONAL
CONVENTION.

There can be no valid argument
against a constitutional conven-
ton. The prospect OF securing any
one Of the following reforms amp
ly iustifes the calling Of a conven-
ton; the revision Of the amending
clause OF the constitution so as to
make our fundamental law at all
times responsive to the will of the
people; the abolition of the fee sys-
tenn, which has demoralized office
holders, corrupted elections and
despoiled our treasury; the elimin-
alton of needless offices and too
frequent elections; the revision Of
our system of taxation so as to
distribute the tax burden equitab-
ly and to encourage industry, the
revision of that section of our con-
stitution which gives to the accus-
ed in criminal prosecutions the
right to trial by an impartial jury
of the county in which the crime
was committed, with the result that
themore heinous the crime the less
the prospect of procuring a jury;
the reorganization of our whole
judicial system in the interest OF
justice, economy and expedition.
Barring the abolition OF the fee
system, none Of these reforms can
be secured except by constitutions
al amendment.
The necessity Of convention
cannot be disputed. But reaction
aries always raise objections. They
say that times are too unsettled for
a change. This objection has been
raised against every progressive
movement, but it lacks point. The
greatest constitutions in history
have been written in times of re-
volution, when the minds Of men
were burning with indignation
against the evils Of misgovern-
ment. The danger with US is not
that times are too unsettled, but
that they are too settled and our
perceptions of truth and justice too
blunted by selfish commercialism.
Our greatest trouble is not emo
tional excitment but moral stag
nation.
The last refuge Of those opposed
to the convention is to traduce its
advocates. So we may we'll in
quire, who are behind the move
ment? We can eliminate the
chronic office holders; they are
not behind it. The fee grabbers
are not behind it. The railroads
are not behind it. No corrupting
influence in our state is behind
the movement. The advocates of
a constitutional convention are
the wage-earners, the manuiact-
urers, and the broad-minded bust
ness and professional men Of the
state. They are not moved by
selfish considerations, except as it
may be selfish to strive for the

FACING A CRISIS.

w
to glory in our federal constitution
and boast of it as the greatest IN
strument eyer struck off by the
hand of man., as was once said by
a famous English statesman. We
often say or hear it said that 1t
provided for all the contingencies
of our national life and that it will
stand for all time as our tunda-
mental law. We nearly all agree
that the theory Of federal govern
ment as established by our revoIu-
tionary fore-fathers is sound and
ought to be unchanged through
out the period Of our national ex-
istance.
And vet how few of us realize
what great innovations, what pro-
found changes, what tremendous
revolutions in the very nature and
fundamental character OF our gov
erment are impending in the pre-
sent generation. How few Of US,
casting aside our preiudices for or
against certain proposed changesln
our federal constitution and laws,
realize that national equal suffrage,
national prohibition, national aid
to roads, national aid to education,
and the various other novel propos-
ais for the assumption OF power in
the national government, mean the
breaking downof the basic Of theory
the federal government as estab-
lished in the constitution Of our
fathers:
, ( The federal government sprang
from the absolute necessity reluct-
antly felt by all the states for the
union of certain well defined pow
ers, hitherto belonging to the sew
eral states, in one centralized body.
The states were jealous of every
power that they released to this
their own creature. The line Of
demarcation between the authority
of the federal government and that
of the state governments was made
emphatic by the constitution. 1t
was the intention of the trainers OF
the constitution, and it soon be-
came settled by judicial construc-
ton, that all powers not expressly
delegated to the federal govern
ment in the constitution remained
in the states. The main theme run
ming through the whole constitu-
ton is the definition and limita-
ton of the powers of the Unit
ed States so iealously and spar
ingly granted by states.
With increased wealth, popula-
ton and power, came a new and
greater popular conception OF the
national government. The right
to secede was forcibly denied the
states. A majority of the states
through the federal government
assumed to control certain rela-
tionship Of different elements in
the population of all the states.
But, otherwise, the actual status
of the two governments, state and
national, remained the same as at
the beginning.
In recent years and at the pre-
sent time, the changed popular
notion of our federal system has
been manifested in the agitation
for the assumption of increased
powers on the part. of the national
government. The popular coneep-
ton Of subjects proper for national
control and national action has
/. broadened tremendously. Propos-
ais for national aid to roads and to
education and others of similar ma
ture are affecting the basic and
fundamental character of our dual
system Of government. We are
about to leap the lines Of demar.

in order to give the disease chance
to develop. If this is done an eXami-
nation of the dogs brain will deter
mine whether or not the animal has
the rabies. If the animal is killed
before the rabies has an opportunity
for development detection of the di-
sease is difficult. The dog should
never be killed by shooting through
the head, as this often makes an ac-
curate examination impossible.
Prompt reports will be made by the

be surrounded by ice and sawdust, es-

Treatment of Rabies.
Where there is the least suspicion
that a person has been bitten by a
dog afflicted with rabies the Pasteur
treatment should be taken. This
should be under the direction of a
physician, but the treatment will be
furnished free of cost for persons un-
able to pay for it. Persons who can
pay are expected to do so, but 1t is
the intent of the State Board of
Health that no resident Of Oklahoma
should be forced to go without the
treatment because of poverty. The
Pasteur treatment Ms a practically
certain cure for hydrophobia, the
percent of persons taxing the treat
ment and later developing the disease
being so small as to be negligible.
Can rabies be eXterminated? There
is only one possible answer to this
question and that is that the dread
disease can be conquered just as
soon as the people of this country
think the conquest worth while. This
Is not theory. Rabies has been

was driven out by muZzling the dogs.
1t can be driven out in this country
whenever the people believe that the
lives and happiness OF human beings
are worth more than the comfort OF
dogs.
That there is need for drastic ac-
ton in fighting hydrophobia is shown
by the number of cases actually re

even although this procedure might
not have been liked by the dog or its
owner.

With the advent of the real hot
weather there is apt to be in scatter
ed localities over the state more or
less apprehension over rabies or hy-
drophobia. There is less reason for
such apprehension than is generally
believed, although hydrophobia is a
real and terrible disease and no pre-
caution should be omitted when there
is any reason to suspect its existence,
Nevertheless there is more actual
danger of hydrophobIa in hot than in
cold weather. Dogs like human be
ings may be more irritable in eX-
tremely hot weather; in fact they are
likely to be. But dogs are no more
liable to rabies in hot weather, even
during the so-called dog days" than
they are at other times of the year.
In fact the records OF the state board
of health show more cases of rabies
during some of the comparatively
cold months than in summer.
Transmission OF Rabies.
The only known way in which hy-
drophobia ever has been transmitted
to human being is from the bite of
some animal, generally a dog, already
suffering from rabies. The virus
which causes the disease seems to
exist in the saliva, rather than di-
rectly in the blood. Not every person
bitten by an animal with the rabies
has hydrophobia. In fact one au-
thority has estimated that only 10 per
cent. of persons bitten by dogs suf-
fering with rabies themselves develop
the disease. The percentage is high
er in the case of woife bites. The
nearer the bite to the central ner-
vous system the greater the chance
for the development or hydrophobia

Mr.. Dunlap states that while many

that they showed to have been hon

many charges of crooked elections,
but when they are investigated the
facts do not warrant the charges.
