FARM BUREAU PICNIC q.
HAD INDOOR SESSION

e A very good program was run of
last Wednesday afternoon at the Farm
Bureau Picnic. A. r. Wilson started
the program by telling those present
OF some of the accomplishments and
improvements that have been made
along the line of Agriculture putting
In a plea for making the home grounds
beautiful, pleasant, and attractive as
we'll as convenient.
4. A. Kirkpatrick, District State
Leader OF County Agents addressing
the meeting outlined the necessity of
cooperation and affiliation Of all CO.
operative and other farm Organiza,
tons that they may work more in har-
mOny with each other and save dupli-
cation and divided efforts. He said in
some counties there were three dozen
or more different agricultural organi-
zatlons and. then in some cases the
farmers belong to- a dozen or more of
these different groups He showed
the Importance of affliating these diff
ferent organizations or giving them a
central clearing house as the Farm
Bureau In carrying on their work or
work in touch with other organiza-
tons.
"A. E. Chamberlain of Chicago gave
a splendid address that was greatly
appreciated by everyone present.
From his abundance of extensive and
vared experiences is seemed an easy
matter for him to discuss and present
his ideas clearly and forcibly Mr..
Chamberlain says that if you show
h nf
community he can tell what kind of
soil they are living on. Soil that is
rich in plant food or is very produc-
tive brings people prosperity and as
long as the land increases in produc-
ton and gives good returns for the
amount of labor spent upon the crops,
people are prosperous and the land
will continue to increase in value, but
soon as the land becomes poor, un-
productive, people become poor, dis
couraged, does not reward a man for
his efforts in the field and he soon
wants to sell the farm. Mr.. Chamber
lain says, give young man and his
wife a good piece of land with SO good
hens and few good COWS and if they
are healthy, fairly intelligent, they
will soon become prosperous and after
20 years will be able to retire with
enough wealth accumulated to live
comfortably the rest of their lives.
In other words Mr.. Chamberlain
strong plea was for general or divers
flied farming to keep up the soil fer
tility and improve the farm. Only
one out of ten farmers fail The per-
centage of failures in any business is
very much greater.

Dr. Fowler considers the conference

regard to milk prices.
Before the meeting this afternoon
Dr.. Fowler declared that he had not
the slightest idea OF the stand the
milk dealers were going TO take
whether they would agree 20 lower
the price OF milk TO II cents, as pro-
posed. or whether they would declare
their intention OF maintaining pres

trict Attorney Bolithia J. Laws told a

AIIege Criminal Attack.
'The Government will show" said

FLLCOAL BIN
WHILE FUEL
PRICE ISLOW
Washington Dealers Notify
HOusehOIders That Each
Month will See Boost.

Coal bins are being filled by Wash
ington housekeepers, who are taking
advantage OF the opportunity to buy
the fuel before the prices increase.
Washington dealers who have sent
notices to their customers that the
anthracite producing companies pro-
pose to increase prices Of stove and
furnace coal by May 1 are doing an
enormous business.
Cause Of the increase is attributed
by the producing companies TO unset
tied labor conditions. The dealers
have announced that they have been
forced to increase the price Of coal 10
cents a ton May 1. and that like ad-
vances of 10 cents a ton will be made
on the first Of each succeeding month
TO and inclusive Of September 1.
Need Increase For PrOAts.
Investigation has shown. It Is said,
that the increases are necessary for
the producing companies to make q
proft.
For many years past Washington
housekeepers were offered a decrease
Of so cents a ton at this time Of the
year to buy coal for the winter. Bat
''the good old days" have passed. and
instead, the householders find them
selves confronted with another phase
Of the increased cost Of living.
The dealers say that when the pro-
ducing companies have forced the in
creases on them, they, in turn, have to
make the public pay. They say they
get no more profits than usual by the
increases.
Price To Go Up Steadily.
For instance, white ash stove coal
is now selling for $11.50 a ton. May
1 II will cost S11.60, and after Septem-
Der /, S12 ton. Egg and furnace coal
is selling by most dealers at $11.25 a
ton. It will make q similar gradual
increase by September 1.
"The increases are due to the rest
less and unsettled conditions OF labor
in the mining districts" said a big
coal dealer today. THE
should take advantage
of the present prices and save money
by buying coal now. They should also
safeguard themselves against a coal
famine. as It is not known what might
happen between now and the winter
in the coal mining districts"
