what he is worth as beef animal. No
one can determine his value but the
men in the pens,-the commission men
and the buyers.
Buyers Represent Many Firms.
Many think that these cattle are Sll
purchased by the big packers, which
is far from being the case. Besides
the buyers for the big packers there
are always in the Chicago yards from
hundred to hundred and fifty other
buyers on the scene, many of them
representing firms that are not located
near the stock yards or even in the
same city. All told, the large pack
ers do only A per cent of the meat
animal slaughtering Of the entire eam-
try.
The penalty which awaits the buyer
who will not bid up to true values is
that the other buyers take the cattle
away from him and his firm will be
without its requirements. On the olh-
e. hand the commission men cannot
stick it out for an exorbltant price /;
for the buyers would cut down on the
amounts of their purchases. There
are some people who will buy meat
at any price, but the majority Of peo-
pie reduce tier meat purchases pre-
cisely as the prices mount upward.
The buyers in the stock yards reflect
this attitude of the general public al
most as accurately as thermometer
indicates the temperature.
The Arena Of Supply and Demand.
In other words, the stock yards are
the meeting places of two tremendous
powers of the economic world,-Sup-
ply and Demand. Any one who Wis
its one Of these places, even as the
most casual observer, and watches
what occurs there, will give up any
illusion he may have about monopoly
or control. Too many buyers and sell
ers are involved, and judging the
value of an individual steer or per
full of steers Is altogether too compli
Gated a matter to cover by any sort
of agreement in advance.
The Kenyon bill would make 1t lille
gal for any packers to have financial
holdings in stock yards corporations
Common sense rightly asks, "WhyT
How such holdings, which, where the!
exist, are nothing more than f1nancia
backing of a worthy enterprise, cal
control the men in the pens who arr
hired to use their judgment, Is tot
deep to be seen at glance. The ad
vocates of the bill should be forced t
explain. And how lack of such hold
ings would prevent control or monor
oily, If such things were possible, is an
other thing which the proponents o
the bill should be able to elucidate.

THE PACKERS AND
REFRIGERATOR CARS

Whether refrigerator cars should be
owned by the railroads or by the pack
ers-a point TO be determined by leg
fslation now pending in Washington
may seem to be question rather. re-
mote from the interests of the average
person. But, inasmuch as these "ice
boxes on wheels" as one of the pack
ers terms them, are the conveyances
which bring our beefsteak to town, we
may assume that we have certain
concern about them. If they have any
thing to do with the price of the beef
steak our concern is a deep one.
1t is maintained by some that these
cars give the packers who now own
them an unfair advantage over coG1-
petitors. This is stoutly denied by the
packers, who offer as proof the fact
that they pay the same freight rates
as any shipper; and they assert that
the only advantage they enjoy is in
being able to get enough cars for their
needs by furnishing them themselves
instead of depending upon the rail-
roads to do so. In this they are backed
up by report of the Interstate Com
merce Commission, made after an in
vestigation Of all privately owned
cars, to the effect that there were no
unfair practices and that a radical
change would adversely affect both
shippers and the public.
While not opposing, in principle,
railroad ownership of refrigerator
cars, the packers maintain that there
are not enough of these cars to go
around and that the legislation in
question makes no provision for insur-
| ing that the railroads shall furnish
| them in sufficient number. On the
other hand, to pool their cars and take
chances of getting what happened to
be available, would seriously handi-
cap the distribution Of their perishable
meat products. The stream of ship
ments from the packing plants would
be blocked, which in turn would block
the buying of live stock, and the in
dustry, which is founded on basis of
rapid distribution, would be badly
muddled,
In these contentious pro and con,
there are three parties whose interests
are at stake--the packers, their COM
lpetitors and the public. Only one Of
these parties could gain a possible ad-
vantage If the packers, cars were
taken away from them, viz, the pack
ers' competitors The cars are now
admittedly handled on an economic
and efficient basis, and no change 10
| justified unless unfairness Is definitely
and absolutely preved-which would
be in absolute contradiction to the re-
port that the Interstate Commerce
Commission has already rendered on
the subject. The public would pay the
bill for inefliciency in the packing in
dustry, and it has no desire to pay this
bill In order to help few of the pack.

SMALL PACKERS OPPOSE LICENSE

Cincinnati meat packers in drawing
resolutions against the licensing OF
all packers doing interstate business,
brought attention to the fact that the
proposed legislation embodied IN the
Kenyon and Kendrick bills, if enacted,
would have a tendency to drive hun
dreds of small packing firms out of the
field of interstate operations. This
would be the preference forced upon
them as against operating under IL
censing system which would be a con-
tinued menace of interference,

Aboard FresideAt Wilson's Special
Train-A continuous ovation along the

way back toward the capital was given
to President Wilson as he came
toward the end of his month daylong
speaking tour In behalf Of the League
of Nations. California, particularly
The delightful city of Los Angeles, went
wild in its enthusiasm for him and his
advocacy Of the League, and it was
in that state, perhaps, that he did his
must successful missionary work.
Hiram Johnson, California's former
governor, now her United States sena-
tor, and considered by her as the most
likely Republican candidate for the
presidency in 1920, had before the ar
rival of President Wilson, convinced
q great number of citizens that the
League as at present formulated was
not good thing. He had told them
that the United States, because Of it,
would be drawn inta every petty
European quarrel; he argued that we
would lose our sovereignty by joining
with the European nations. He had
blamed the president for asserting to
the possession by Japan Of the PENN
sula of Shan Tung in China.

RETURNS FROM TESTING

Testing seed corn for germina-
ton is the least expensive meth
cd Of increasing the yield of
corn per acre.
Without seed testing, all other
means of increasing the yield
will fall short of what they
should accomplish.
The testing of seed corn by
any of the approved methods Is
not difficult.
The time spent in testing seed
corn is likely to be paid for at
the time of planting and Is GER
tain to be paid for MANIFOLD at
harvest.
Corn that appears to be sound
does not always terminate. If
no test is made, considerable
quantities of sound-appearing
corn are likely to be planted only
to rot in the ground. If tested,
this corn would not be planted
and would serve all the purposes
of good feed.
A field planted to tested seed
corn requires little or no replant-
ing. All plants have an even
start and develop evenly to a
fuller yield than where stunted
replants are present.
