To aid in developing community
spirit among California farmers anG
use of the best modern agricultural
methods, seventy-five leaders of the
Farm Bureau movement are to spend
week together on a 550-mile jour
ney in seventeen automobiles. In
eight different counties they will see
what each can teach its neighbors
as to how the farm adviser system,
inaugurated by the University of CAL
ifornia and the United States De-
Ipartment of Agriculture, can be made
Of the greatest possible value to the
farmers prosperity and we'll being.
The expedition will be unique in the
history of American agriculture.
Three leading farmers from the
board of directors of the Farm Bu-
reau in each of the fifteen counties
now cooperating with the University
in the farm adviser system, together
with all the farm advisers, will make
this automobile trip, with Professor
B. H. Crocheron of the University of
California as leader. After hearing

set forth by automobile for Solano
county, there to see the farm bureau
demonstration, near Vallejo, of the
destruction of wild a~tichoke by dis

plowing under of cover crops of
vetch and melilotus indica (or bitter

of the farm bureau center at Fair
field, where roadside tree planting
and other subjects will be discussed,
they will spend Tuesday, February 20,
in Napa county, seeing how a farm

AGRICULTURAL ASSOCIATIONS.

draft of bill for use by states desiring to provide
for the organization of nonstock agricultural and hor
cultural cooperative associations has been drawn IN the
United States Department of Agriculture and together
the bill prepared and the object to be accomplished
is published in Service and Regulatory Announcements
No. 20 of the Office of Markets and Rural Organization
In shaping the bill effort has been made to conform
to the Clayton amendment to the United States
laws which eXempts from the operation of these laws
'abor agricultural and horticultural organizations in
stuted for the purpose Of mutual help and not having
capital stock conducted for profit"
The bill is drawn the principle that every associ
alton created under shall act exclusively agent for
the member and that if it act for non-member it shall
do so also agent, the service to be performed at
COST 1t is sought by this application Of the principle OF
agency to safeguard the non-prot feature of such
organization 1t is absolutely essential the paper points
out that this feature be adhered to both in the organza
ton and in the conduct OF the association.
The bill would permit the association, agent for
it's members to perform services connected with the pro-
ducton preservation drying canning, storing handling,
utilization marketing sale of agricultural horticul-
tura products produced by them 1t would also permit
the association to perform for its members in similar
way services connected with the purchase or hiring of
and the hiring of labor The membership of such
izations would be limited to persons engaged in agrcu
ture horticulture Membership would be non-transer
able and each member would be entitled to vote
only be delivered in person by mailed ballots Vo
ing by proxy would not be permitted.
The draft of the proposed bill prepared in the
department in compliance with requests from many Of
cialS and individuals 1t is pointed out that the De-
partment of Agriculture has no power to give an au
thoritatve ruling to the antitrust laws of the United
States 1t is suggested therefore, that those who desire
to make Of the bill drafted by the department. or
organize Hereunder should act with reference to thu
matter the advice of competent counsel of their owl

VISIONS OF A NEW
OUTLAW CIRCUIT SEEN
BY H. C.. Hamilton

UNITED Press Staff Correspondent
New York, Feb. 14.-Fear that a
brand new "outlaw league" to replace
the lost Federal circuit may be the
outgrowth of the threatened strike
by the Baseball Players Fraternity,
and that it might even involve the
placing of David L. Fultz at its
head, was expressed today by nu-
merous baseball followers whose SYM
pathies in previous "war" days were
with organized baseball.
There are allied with the Frater-
nifty enough high class ball players
both major and minor, to organize
a league which would discount ir
strength the late lamented child OF
James A. Gilmore. Also, it has beer

of good baseball players there natur'
ally would be preponderance Of
good baseball in such a league shoult
it be formed. And, as fandom i!
bound to go where it can see thu
best baseball, organized baseball
would have a scrap of some proper
tions on it's hands.

Organization of such a circuit prob
ably would be such that many othe
players would separate themselve
from their present employers at tn
expiration of their contracts AM
would become allied with any ney
league that might be formed. 1t i
hardly probable that any contract
would be broken, for Fultz alread
has said those players who have con
tracts can best serve the fraternit
through allegiance to their clubs.
There would not be nearly so muc
expense attached to the organizatio
of such a circuit as in the days G

be few baseball parks to build, fo
there are now standing the left-ove
parks from the Gilmore circuit. !
