the articles are meant solely for eX-
port trade.
The organization would be barred
by antitrust laws from operating in
domestic trade within the United
States.
In the execution of it's functions, the
corporation would be called on
to buy and sell foreign exchange or
other forms of transfers of credit. This
would enable the organization to take
advantage Of favorable exchange stu
atoms for the bcnfit Of It's competent
members. 1t is proposed cotton raisers
or dealers would acquire interest in
the corporation through purchase OF
stock which might be had at 500 a

ing. stack threshing turns out a
brighter heavier grain. And by
stacking, the land is released for
early blowing or for late feed
crop. The cost of shock threshing
and stack threshing are about equal;
for while in building the stack there
is the extra cost of handling the
bundles, this is probably much less
than the losses from drying, shatter-
ing and sprouting when the crop
stands for long time in the shock.
Also concentration of teams and
men at the time Of threshing from
the shock is necessary; but in haul
ing for stack threshing compare
lively small force may be spread
over longer period, And so aside
from the present situation, stacking
the wheat crop is an excellent prac-
tice--a money maker--for the aver

Farm Bureau Agents Say Railroads
Will be Unable to Take the Crop
to Market Promptly This
Summer.
THEY ADVISE sAcKINa
w. A. Hook, OF Clark County, Gives
Some Interesting Discussion Of
tho Matter to Farmers OF
This Section.

There is now a very serious prob
ability that the government will be
unable to handle the wheat crop as
fast as the farmers will wish to
throw it on the market. An early
congestion of railroads and markets
in the larger wheat sections may
therefore result.
Farmers may be forced to hold
at least a part of their crop until
the traffic and marketing facilities of
the government can spread out the
enormous production of the country.
We must therefore urge them to pre-
pare for this emergency; tell them
the best means of preparedness, and
leave the matter to their Judgment
and common prudence. If they fail
Ito prepare, they may suffer serious
loss.''
That Is the warning of w. A.
Hook, farm agent for Clark county,
and he continued as follows:
What Farmer May Do.
What preparation then should the
farmer maize? He must either stack
the whole or part of his crop and
thresh it at a time later than normal;
or he must thresh it at the normal
time and store it in bins.
"On account of the danger of
stacking on bottom lands, farmers
there will be forced to bin their
wheat if they hold 1t at all, but for
the large majority of upland farmers
stacking is the better proposition,
although here and there they can use
bins to good advantage.
Even if there were no necessity
for holding the grain for the. mar
ket, good deal OF stacking would
be highly desirable in the larger up
land wheat sections to take care of
the crop until it passes through
season which now prom
lses to be abnormally long and con.
gested. The advantages of stacks !
over the bins may be summarized as !
follows:
Advantages of Stacking.
Stacks are cheaper-the cost of |
the bin and the labor of getting the !
wheat in and out are items which |
amount to far more than the cost Of |
stacking.
Stacks will turn out better grade |
If grain, because the grain will
shrink less. will be brighter in color,
md is likely to be sounder.
