Minnesota Farm Bureau Takes Action
on Grain Market Decline

on Grain Market Decline
The following kilograms show the
steps taken by the Minnesota Farm
Bureau Federation. along with other
State Federations to check the de-
cline in the grain and livestock and
secure for the farmer fair price for
his products.
TO THE HONORABLE PRESIDENT
WOODROW WILSON:
The present prices being paid for
farm products of both livestock and
grain are arousing our people. At
such prices the producer is receiving
only about one-half of the cost of
producing. With power vested in
you to- handle such critical situa-
ton it is our opinion that something
must be done Immediately to prevent
further drop in prices and to obtain
fair price for all farm products
taking into consideration the cost of
production thereof. We most serious
ly feel such action is urgent and i'm
peratiVe.
Minnesota Farm Bureau Federation
V. e. Anderson, Assistant Secretary.
THE WHITE HOUSE
Washington, October IL, 1920.
My dear Mr.. Anderson:
The president has received your
telegram of October 9Th with refer
ence to the wheat situation, and he
has received a number of others of
similar tenor. He fully recognizes
the Importance of the questions you
raise, and he has, therefore, request
ed the Federal Trade Commission and
, the Department of Agriculture to
look into the matter at the earliest
possible moment with the view to de-
termine what, if anything, can prop
erly be done. In the meantime, he
will appreciate it if you will be good
Morris tribune., 1920-11-05

$4,000 worth of livestock for breed
ing has been exchanged through the
Farm Bureau Office. Many articles
on timely subjects have been pub
lished in the exchange.
FARM BUREAUS WIN VICTORY
Washington representatives of the
American Farm Bureau Federation
are gratif1ed over the success of their
efforts to get the Great Lakes water
and rail freight rates adjusted SO that
Shipping Board vessels can be util-
lied to carry grain this season. The
rate from Buffalo to the Atlantic sea-
board had made water carriage al
most prohibitive. The revision of the
new rail rate schedule now going in
to effect makes it cheaper by 2h
to 3A cents bushel to ship by boat
to Buffalo and from there on by rail.
This will mean larger price for
wheat to the Northern wheat grow
ers and above all will promote boat
shipments SO that thousands of cars
shutting back and forth between
DuAA1AO Gnu SAISd6O anu lake
ports will be relieved for other SER
vice.
To Middle-West farmers 1t means
relief of cOngested rail transporta-
ton which has clogged elevators and
in some cases stopped threshing rigs
for lack of storage capacity, parti-
cularly on tenant farms.
Before the increase went into effect
the rail rate from Chicago to Buffalo
was S.8 cents and from Buffalo to
New York, 10 cents, in spite of the
fact it is 100 miles shorter haul be-
tween Buffalo and New York. The
railroads were evidently losing money
on their services between Chicago
and Buffalo and charging exorbitant
prices between Buffalo and New York
| to make up the difference. Governor
Harding of Iowa, appearing for the
Farm Bureaus, stated that 60 per
cent of the congestion on eastern
shipments is caused between Chicago
and Buffalo. His report showed that
right now there are boats on the
Great Lakes equipped to carry 1922
100000 bushels of grain per TRIP
and that a round trip loaded both
ways can be made in eleven days.

FARM BUREAU NEWS
Stevens County Farm Bureau Big
Things It Has Done

The present Stevens County Farm
Bureau composed of farmers and
business men began operations March
/, 1918, with G. W. Nash as man
ager. The membership at that time
was 212 with dues of $3.50 per year.
Since that time the membership has
increased to 476 with annual dues
of $500. Forty of this number how
ever, are still on the $3.50 basis.
About year ago the County
Bureau joined the State Farm Bureau
Federation which later Joined the
American Farm Bureau Federation.
The Farm Bureau manager en-
deaVors to carry. out q program of
work as outlined by the executive
committee of the Farm Bureau. Since
the organization the following have
been given major attention:
SEED CORN
Owing to the shortage of seed corn
in the spring of 1918, 1870 bushels Of
seed corn were brought in from out
side of the county. This was dis
tributed to the farmers of the county
at cost. The publicity given the test
ing or seed corn resulted in the use
of a large number of homemade
testers and 81 Lawton seed corn test
ers were sold. In the fall of 1918 the
corn was so immature at the time of
frost that there would have been lit
tie home grown seed corn for plant
ing the next spring but for the we'll
organized campaign for gathering
seed corn, put on by the Farm
Bureau. $3.50 bushels were saved be-
fore frost that year. There was suf-
ficient corn to plant the 1919 crop,
and the stand was one of the best the
county ever had. Several conserva-
tive farmers have estimated that the
yield per acre was increased bus
shells on the average and the farm
ers Of the county were richer by
100000 as a result of this cam
paign.
SMUT CONTROL
AS a result of the smut control
campaign 1877 per cent more formal.
dehyde was used in 1919 than in
1918. This campaign was partly re,
sponsible for the per cent less smut
in the wheat in 1919, which repre-,
sents saving of about $4,000.
sILOs
The Farm Bureau has always ad.
vocated the erection and use of silos
The opinion of the County Agent has
been frequently asked as to the ad
visibility of building q silo anC
through the publicity given, a great
many more silOs have been built il
the county than there would have
been had there been no agitation
along this line. Several farmers who
we're induced to put up silos have
made the statement that they more
than paid for themselves in the saw
ing Of feed in single year.
BREEDERS ASSOCIATION

for each the Aberdeen Angus, Short

cattle and for poultry.
LIVESTOCK DISEASE
There were several outbreaks of
hog cholera in each 1919 and 1920.
The loss from the disease was very
small, partly due no doubt to the
control measures used by the Farm
Bureau.
Three blackleg treatment demon
STATIONS have been given and four
blackleg vaccination instruments
were secured for farmers.
COOPERATIVE MARKETING
Cooperative creameries were es-
tablished at Donnelly and Chokio and
a Livestock Shipping Association at
Morris.
BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB WORK
It's boys and girls were enrolled in
breadmaking, garden and canning,
acre corn and pig contests in 1918.
Fourteen corn contestants and four
pig contestants completed their work
and exhibited at the county fair. In
1919 there were 81 enrolled in club
work, 40 in baby beef contest, 46 in
pig contest, "a in acre corn contest,
1873 in garden and canning, and so
in bread baking contest.
Alberta Canning Team won first
place in the state and third at the
Interstate Fair, Sioux City, Iowa;
the best pig won second sweepstakes
in the state and first in the Duroc
Jersey class; the best bread maker
won first in the state in class A bread
making contest; the best bread bak-
ing team won fifth place in the state
and the best boy livestock judge won
first in the state judging contest.
The enrolment in club work for
1920 was 223, % baby beef, 48 pig,
IA acre corn, GO garden and can
ming, 60 bread baking, 10 sewing
While the enrolment in the baby
beef contest was not as great as in
1919, the number finishing was
greater. This contest was one of the
most interesting and educational fea-
lures of the county fair.
FARMERS CLUBS
There are ten farmers clubs in the
county at present, seven having beer
organized since the establishment OF
the Farm Bureau in 1918. In 1918
six clubs exhibited at the county fail
for the first time and seven exhibited
in 1920.
MISCELLANEOUS
