Crop Faking's End

When David Lubin died the Other
day in Rome. where he was Americas
representative in the international
Institute VI Agriculture, the farmers
OF the whole world lost a friend
prophet and leader.
Years ago Lubin quit dollar hunt
inP in a California mercantile estab-
lishment, to give his life, his brains
and his effort that the producer OF
food might make an honest profit.
Ie was one OF the first Americans to
zee that the time-worn method of
food distribution and transportation
was wrong, and that the unnecessary
middleman must be eliminated be-
fore the farmer could get fair price
in the market.
Iubin declared war on the crop
report fakir, who spread false stories
Of over-production abroad to bring
down PRICES when the American farm-
ers were selling, and who deluged
the markets with untruths concerning
reported crop failures later on to
give excuse for high prices to con-
sumers. To correct this evil Lubin
suggested the formation of an inter-
national crop reporting agency, and
our Washington politicians promptly
rejected the idea. Then Lubin laid
his plan before the king of Italy. and
secured governmental assistance in
establishing the International Insti-
tute of Agriculture in Rome. I'm
mediately Lubin turned the spotlight
If publicity and knowledge upon the
food crops of the world, even into
'he remotest corners, the smallest
countries.
For the first time in history
thanks to David Lubin- the world
I1rew how much food 1t produced and
where that food was. Naturally, food
spectators disliked Lubin and his
spotlight. And as naturally they
tried to discredit him and the institu-
tion. But now the world knows the
benefit of accurate and early knowl-
edge as to crop conditions and statis-
tics In Siam. Russia, America or else
where.
And while keeping his eyes upon
the farm fields of both hemisphres.
every continent and island, David Lu-
bin found time to grapple with the
ininuities of the business world that
obtain In the transfer of food OF the
world from the grower to the con-
sumer. the toll that TRANSPORTATION
credits and the farm family's hap
piness.
All that he did during his eventful
life is now the heritage of the man
in the field, the dairy. and the live
stock pen. No man has received a
more valuable Inheritance.

A Risky Business

The bank cashier who is scretiy
plunging on borrowed" money and
L.ping the market will "break right"
before the bank examiner comes
around, may think he is sure enough
gambler, but he should go to farm
ing; his sporting blood would get
a lot of circulation without him hay-
ting to break any laws. or risk the
penitentiary.
For instance. you have one good
brood mare.
In due time. II you are lucky. there
comes a colt. and you about live with
that colt.
And you give 1t the best Of care.
and break 1t to the halter. and coddle
the mare all thru the work season
ON Its account.
And the colt grows and promises

BE MERCIFUL, BUCK
(From Fowler Tribunel


Since the state went bone-dry. con-
ditions have grown worse. One of
the Ordway editors last week gave
prominent space to an item recording
the achievements os SIX hunters who
killed 241 johnrabbits in six-acre
orchard on tho Slavens ranch. Yes,
and the rabbits were SO hungry be-
cause of their inability to find food
In the deep snow they were eating the
bark off the trees. Some of them ac-
tually peeled the bark of the trunks
of the trees as far up as the lower
limbs-full-grown trees. too. The
same editor witnessed spectacular
phenomena in the FORM of sun-dogs,
rainbows. sun-circles and spots in the
sky Tuesday afternoon. This editor
probably had a superfluous consign-
ment of tirantula decoction shipped
in prior to the dry regime. It's fun
ny how that durn tanglefoot effects
people. Some see snakes, others sun
dogs. some climbing rabbits. and still
others are affected in divers ways.
Alas for the Ordway editor. His New
Years resolutions have gone ker-
fuzzy within a week.

absent when the connection is completed within

This charge is to compensation for the operat
ing work performed and is usually about onefourth
of the station to station" rate.
In any case where report charge" applies, the
minimum charge is 1Oc and the maximum $500.

Well. Nr. Buck. perhaps you've
worn the write ribbon all your life
and don't know how Sun-dogs appear
and how rabbits climb trees. You
may have thought that there was but
one symptom. but remember the flu.
and note the many ways 1t has of
acting.

iismisses as Of slight consideration

.The Post believes, however, that
tie halg-century-old lynching prob

tho light of half century Of lynching,
Eln which the victims have numbered
thousands, the failure Of the states
must be confessed. The failure
has been shamefuIly complete. and
when the federal government shall
