DEMOCRATS POSTPONE
ORGANIZATION

The Democratic meeting held at the
county seat last Saturday evening
was not largely attended owing to the
stormy weather of last week, making
it hard for the country folks to get in.
In view of the fact that there was
not as large representation from the
country as was hoped for, those pre-
sent agreed to postpone the date of
organizing until some latter date most
likely the forepart of the summer,
when it will be possible for people
to get around again, little more
convenient then at present.
The reason for the calling of the
meeting for last Saturday was because
it was thought at the time Saturdays
meeting was called, that the primaries
would be held in April, and that it
was time to get busy for the cam
paign. However the recent supreme
court ruling changed things back to
the workings of the 1912 primary law,
and there is now more time. Date of
next meeting will be announced later.

DEMOCRATIC LEADERS GEE GOOD
GROUND FOR SWEEPING
VICTORY

Washington, d. C.-The political pot
Capitol Hill. Democratic leaders are
putting the Republicans on the de.
fensive and embarrassing the leaders.
Majority Leader Mondell is under a
fierce fire. Republicans of the old
progressive group are weary of the
Mondell partisan way of doing things
they fear he will cause a reaction a.
g<dnst them back home.
Democratic leaders of Congress be-
h4Fe that the voters of the nation will
return the Democrats to full power in
washington next November.
ID Because the federal officers of
the country. now largely in the hands
Of Democrats, are we'll administered,
and free from scandals.
fz) Because the Democratic admi-
n1ptration conducted successful war
s1N1nst the German autocrats.
90 Because the Democrats enacted
n1ere conductive and helpful legisla-
ten within the last eight years than
the Republicans did in the four de-
cades prior to their downfall ten years
ago.
"a Because the Democratic lead
er-President Wilson-has the great
est personal following if any man in
public life In the United States. Since
the death of Colonel Roosevelt the
Republicans have no leader with
strong personal following
45) Because the country is prosper
GUS and the average man is having
his day.
Believing these things to be true,
Democratic workers of Congress will
take the offensive now, and be the
aggressors in all rough and tumble
political fights. If the Republicans
continue to play politics, as they have
done since the Sixty-sixth Congress
convened, the Democrats will meet
them on their own ground.
There is promis of spirited war in
the House where the Old Grand par
tisans are fatally bent on making
trouble

The Farm and Farmer
By WILLIAM r. SANBORh

Two farm sales were held in Union
comfy this week which were notable
for one particular fact. They were
cried by perhaps the oldest farm sale
and general auctioneer in Indiana. We
refer to his years of service, rather
than to his age, for he has been doing
all kinds of auctioneering for at least
thirty-five years. Moreover, these
were his closing sales The first OF
these sales was held on Tuesday, De-
cember 81, on the B. F. Snyder farm,
two miles northwest of Liberty. The
second and closing sale of a long ca
reer was held on the Joshua Davis
farm, five miles north of Liberty. The
sale on the Snyder farm was held by
William Brown, the other by Joshua
and James H. Davis.
Col. D. c. Brookbank Retires.
The auctiOneer above referred to.
Col. D. c. Brookbank, of Liberty, is a
native of Union county, where he has
lived all his life He is not only
known to all Union county, but his
reputation as successful auctiOneer
has long been established over a wide
area.
In a little chat with the writer on
Thursday. Col Brookbank said that
the Davis sale. held on that date, was
the closing sale of his long career. He
was willing that some younger man
should take hold where he was leav-
ing off. He was in the mood to take
needed rest, and to take life easier
Farm sales are held in all kinds of
weather. We have seen much live
stock and farm gear sold in a cold
pouring rain, and in drifting snow.
In such circumstances the auction
block is a bleak and dangerous place
for a man on the downward slope of
the years. 1t may mean a chill or
pneumonia. At all events it is not
conducive to good health and longev-
ity. This was Col. Brookbanks idea
and he SO stated. He will be missed
in many an auction ring. and by a
numerous circle of farm customers
when their sale days come round.

Darke County has opportunity to set
a record.
According to ]. H. Larimore, pub
licity director of the Ohio Farm
Bureau Federation, this county, with
5.400 farmers, is probably the most
farmer-populated county in the United
States. A campaign for increased
membership in the county farm bureau
will be begun next Monday. The Ohio
county having the largest farm bureau
membership is Wood with 1850. or
the farmers in that county more than
500 are members.
A Michigan county with 900 Of its
farmers enrolled has a few more than
5000 members and is the banner coun-
ty in the United States in that
respect.
Mr.. Larimore points out that Darke
county could surpass the Wood coun-
| ty record if only 53 per cent of its
| farmers should enroll, and that Of the
Michigan county if 81 per cent en-
roll,
Begins in GreenviIIe.

Bureau Has LOO.
There are now LOO members i'll the
bureau. Dues heretofore have been
enc dollar a year. Under the new plan
memberships are taken at $1,000 d
year for three years. Half the money
thus obtained, it is explained, will re-
main in the county for the promotion
of such agricultural projects as the
bureau members determine. The other
! half goes to the Ohio Farm Bureau
| Federation, which pays the cost of the
membership campaign and the eN-
pense of the state work. 1t also sends,
of its share, soc a year for each mem
! her to the American Farm Bureau
Federation Which cares for the ma
tional work of the farm bureau move
ment.
| According to Mr.. Larimore, who is
in Darke county helping to arrange
| for the campaign, 60 counties either
have completed their $40 campaigns or
are now in campaign. and a dozen
more have scheduled campaigns. 1t
! is expected all 50 counties will be COM
pleted by May l, with an aggregate
membership of more than 125,O00

CROPS WORLD AREA
INCREASING YEARLY
From the Philadelphia Inquirer)

From the Philadelphia Inquirer)
Only one-third of the worlds poten-
tial food producing area is under Gull
tivation. and the crops raised on that
third, thanks to agricultural science,
increases yearly.
The United States has only some
400 millions of it's 935 million acres Of
arabic land under cultivation, yet il
raises, among other things. one-sixth
of the worlds corn supply. The farms
of America raise less than half as
much wheat to the acre as those of
England, yet even with her present
standard size could raise enough corn
to meet the needs of Europe on the
land that is now lying unused.
Russia produces only ten bushels
to the acre of corn, but when science
has access to her untold millions Of
acres, and brings their capacity up
to the standard of our. own farms,
then she alone will be able to supply
the worlds cereal needs, with the ex-
ception of maize and rice.
Less than a third of the worlds
population gets what we should call
three good meals a day, yet the work
ing capabilities of the, from our view
point, underfed continents of Asia and
Africa will compare very we'll with
either Europe or America. The aver
age meat consumption of the world
is thirty-nine pounds head, yet bot q
the Australian and the American eat
nearer one hundred and eighty pounds
per head, and the Englishman is not
far behind with about one hundred
and twenty pounds.
1t is evident. then. that we can
tighten our belts a hole or two yet
without running any undue risk of
starvation.

MARKETING SERVICE
FOR INDIANA SHAPES
INTO ITS final FORM

Officers of the I. F. F. A. have been
rapidly perfecting details of the new
Federated Marketing Service of Indi-
ana which is intended to foster and
guide the cooperative commercial &C.
tivities of all local form organizations
tivities of all local farm organizations
the active assistance of the officers
of the Farmers Grain Dealers associa-
tion of Indiana and of the Indiana
'ote Grange. Full cooperation and
participation in the benefits of the ser.
vice is extended to all other farmers
organizations in the state and 1t is the
intent of the federation to be of serv
ice to all.
The farmers requirements for fer
tilizers for spring use will be handled
in large way by the Marketing Ser
vice and prices and information are
now being collected and will be avail
able for distribution at an early date.
Managers, secretaries and purchasing
agents of local organizations, many Of
whom have been transacting business
on cooperative basis heretofore are
arranging to pool the orders of all OF
their members in accordance with in
structions already sent out. 1t is
claimed that the system will simplify
the selling problem OF manufacturers
and lessen the cost of placing orders
and of subsequent distribution.
Officers Attend Meetings.
President John G. Brown, Secretary
Maurice Douglas, Treasurer f. E. Rey-
nolds, and ex-Secretary Lewis Taylor
have all been called upon to attend
farmers meetings during the week
and .interAt in the activities of the
federation is manifest throughout the
state. J. E. Leavitt, E. G. McCollum

Grafton, the Farmers Grain Dealers
and the Grange have been in confer
ence with representatives of fertilizer
manufacturers. They also have attend
ed meeting at Chicago of the Grain
committee of II appointed by the A.
F. B. F. The plan of organization of
the Federated Marketing Service of
Indiana was laid before this commit
tee in order that no possible conflict
with the work of the national commit
tee might escape notice. 1t was stat
ed by President Leavitt of the Market
Ing Service upon his return that the
Indiana plan would put the farmers
organizations of the state in a posi-
ton to adapt themselves to the pro-
gram being worked out by the ma
tional committee.
