Force Farmer to Clean Wheat

Government officials claim that

to compel the farmer to clean his
grain before placing It on the market.
A small tanning mill will take out
the weed seed, the light kernels, and
the straw and other refuse, and this
cleaning process viii raise the test
of the wheat and will also raise the
market price. Government experts
saw the refuse will make good scratch
feed for the chickens. They claim
that the miller must clean his wheat
before II is made into -four and that
it must be cleaned before 1t Is ex-
ported. If the farmer does the
cleaning he can make use Of the re-
fuse and more than pay for his la
Dor and the cost of the tanning mill
and an engine, they say, by raising
the test on his wheat and thereby
raising the price.

The use Of the motor is not con

the farms where the lines are Install
ed the motors are used regularly to
cut ensilage. The farmers are con-
vinced that they get better food val
ne by cutting fresh for every day S
feeding and by utilizing every por-
tion of the roughness. During the
/; mast winter when the price of hay
and all rough feed reached record
prices the cutting process added ma
terially to the feeding accomplish
ment.
In instances where there is not an
installed line the use of the motor
and attendant with transformer and
cable are available. This was used
largely last fall by farms on the
transmission lines. No record was
kept Of the amount of ensilage cut
or the cost a ton, but the figures on
tbe cost of the service Of the equip
ment and attendant ran from $l.50
TO 50 an hour for the time employ
cd On short runs the amount was
divided about equally between the
cost of the attendant at a dollar an
hour and the current; in case OF long
or runs the current costs as high as
i6O per cent of the total. The time
the equipment was used varied from
Ia minimum of four hours to a maxi
mum of twenty hours.
The application of the electric cur
rent to wheat threshing Is not avail
able vet to more than a small por-
tion Of the Kansas wheat belt. The
conditions under which 1t is possible
to extend lines of transmission wire
over long reaches depend on the
ability to finance the operations.

CATTLE FEEDERS LIKE IT
Report From Washington of Govern
ment Help is Approved.

The cattle men and especially the
feeders are pleased at the report
frem Washington that the govern
ment is considering taking some ac-
ton regarding the cattle interests.
The high price Of feed has made
cattle fattenng a losing proposition,
during the past season. Here Is
what one cattle man says about 1t;
"The government is talking of
raising freight rates for the railroads
because they are running behind,
and If this does not make money for
them, will pay the deficit out Of the
Treasury Are the railroads more
necessary to the government than
the beef industry is to the country?
II am not arguing that beef rails
ers should be paid a bonus, simply
that they be protected in their eco
Inomic rights. If that Is done they
will be protected from loss. The
loss of $50 in 40 days on 1000
pound steer will break anybody. At
present prices of beef cattle we fel-
lows who produced this beef to win
the war will all go broke and have
to mortgage our farms to pay bank
era. Some Of MS will go to work at
day wages. There can be no valid
reason for a steer selling at $12
hundred and beef retailing at $40 to
500 a hundred. With everything else
on high priced level you cannot
produce beef steers for $12 hund-
tredweight.
"There are more people engaged
In the beef industry than In railroad
work and they stand to lose about
I5O million dollars and most of this
l.money is borrowed money.
mot one out Of hundred Of these
men didn't do his utmost to help out
the country during the war. II we
cannot make any money on our cat
'Itle, with something like a square
deal we should at least break ever" "
