tentative return to be filed here. The
state tax will be billed upon the ten
tative return pending adjustment

FARMERS PLAN
FOR NATIONAL
SALES AGENCIES
Believe New Scheme Will
Provide Safeguard Against
Speculation.

Chicago, Ill, July 13.-Plans for
farmers national selling agencies for
grain and livestock, with a view
toward curbing speculation and vfo-
lent market fluctuations, will be con-
sidered at a meeting here July 23
and "a. Public announcement of the
conference was made rNday by the
American Farm Bureau Moderation,
a farmers organization with upwards
of 1,25O,000 members in 80 states.
According to J. w. Coverda1e, sec
rotary of the federation. this meeting
promises to be the greatest confer
ence on cooperative marketing of
farm produces ever held in the Unit
ed States
Grain and livestock interests are
to meet in separate sessions
''If uniform plans of cooperative
marketing result from this confer
ence and are generally adopted by
farmers a material reduction in the
cost Of living together with a stabi1i-
ration of prices should ensue," says
the Farm Bureau Federation in a
statement on the conference to-
day.
Starting with the organization of
cooperative grain elevators by far
mers some 20 years ago, the idea of
cooperative marketing has spread
Eap10Iy among farmers, particularly
during recent years, and with notable
success in many other farm products.
IT Is estimated that during the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1919, farm
products to the value of more than
$500, 100000 were marketed, 1t is
stated, through farmers cooperative
associations
There are now more htan 1000
cooperative elevators in the grain
growing regions of the country and
Last year more than half the nations
grain was handled by them Illinois
alone has $40 farmers elevator or
CARNATIONS operating 700 elevators
at 600 different railroad stations.
Last year they handled approximate
ly TO per cent of all the Illinois
grain, or about the 100000
bushe1s at an estimated saving OF
over 100000 In Minnesota by far
the greater portion of the livestock
Is marketed comparatively through
wool pools" which collected and
graded the wool and sold it directly
to the mills
what the farmer now proposes to
do is to strengthen their local Or
CARNATIONS so as to be able to mar
ket their products gradually through
out the year and TO follow these pro-
ducts a little farther down the de-
vious road which leads to the con-
sumner. In the case of grain, it is
proposed to ship much of the crop
direct from the country elevators tC
the consumers and distributors, thus
eliminating full one-third of the pres
ent railroad handling of grain

Only IS Prisoners
At County } all

The fact that the war prohJofkon ACT
was being enforced from July 1, 1913,
is, perhaps. the reason for the de-
cline in numbers from 200 prisoners to
~ prisoners, in the period of one year.
Intoxication was the cause of SO per
cent. of the prison sentences In 1916,
while at the present time 4 per cent.
