markets for American farm products
and for assistance in the. development
OF the export trade under normal con-
ditions. A representative of the de-
partment recently conducted ilivesti
cations in Europe along this LIE. The
work, in so far as possible, will be
done in close cooperation with the De-
partments of State and Commerce.
A survey of State marketing activi-
ties has been made and the results
published. Provision was made in the
appropriation act for the fiscal year
1917 for cooperation with the several
States in the employment of market
ing agents. This provision should
enable the department to bring about
a close coordination of the marketing
activities and policies of the various
States with those of the department.
The issuance of monthly coId-stor-
age reports on apples has been con-
tinued, and the work has been ex-
tended to include butter, eggs, and
cheese. These reports show the cold
storage buildings throughout the
country and include comparison of
the buildings of the current year with
these of the previous year. In coop
Grafton with carriers, extensive in
vestigations of the economic waste of
foodstuffs in transit have been con-
Quoted. The object of these investiga-
tions is to secure better cooperation
between shippers and carriers and
greater efficiency in methods of hand
l:rg, with view to eliminate, or at
least greatly to reduce, the present
waste.
Well-tested systems of accounts and
records for primary grain elevators,
fer livestock shipping associations,
and fer cooperative stores have been
issued. Systems for country creamer-
les and Gotten warehouses have been
devised and are being tested under
comrlel cial conditions. Systems per-
fected by the department for farm
ers' cooperative elevators and for
fruit and produce associations al
ready are in extensive use. A plan
for adapting farmers grain-elevator
companies to the patronage-dividen
basis has been worked out and pub
lished
Marketing Live Stock and Meats
A systematic survey of centralized
livestock markets, begun during 1915,
has been extended to cover practical
~ all tic large stockyard centers.
Arran geme1ss have been made with
SO stockyard companies to secure
monthly reports of livestock receipts
and shipments. A uniform system of
market records has been adopted, at
the instance o. the department, by
number of the yards. Twenty-six
companies are reporting stocker and
feeler shipments separately, in &C
cordance with form prepared by the
Office of Markets and Rural Organi-
zatitr.
An investigation of the organiza-
ton and conduct of cooperative live
stock shipping associations, begun
during 1915, has been completed and
the results published.
A conference relative to the market
ing of live stock and meats was held
at Chicago November Is and 16, 1915,
for the purpose of "ascertaining the
essential facts pertaining to the in
dustry, with view to bringing about
more stable marketing conditions,
more efficient methods, closer cooper
alton, and better understanding a.
,nong all the interests connected with
tie industry"

that streamer of red, white and

The officer who arrested Wolff April
l3, Deputy Sheriff George =. Alexander
of Saxtons Rivr, said Wolf wore the
rosette on his vest and had the ribbon
streamer at the head of his bed. The
officer identified both, they being intro
tuccd as exhibits.
At this point. Judge Howe told Woln
THAT the government could not call the
respondent as a witness but that he
could testify If he chose Wolff said he

He declined to adopt suggestion by Mr.
Billiard that the findings be submitted
