SEES GREAT FUTURE FOR
 FARM BUREAU MERE
Produce Is Being Listed for Sale In. clLiding Cotton and Latter Is
 Chased, Says Editor.
Mineral Springs Newspaper
 Man Pays Bureau a Visit

The Mineral Springs Vim this week has an article about the Little River Farm Bureau which is very interest ing and true story about the organi- zatiOn. MT. w. E. Brown, the editor of the Vim was in Ashdown last week and while here visited the Bureau, and on his return home put the Farm Bureau work before his readers. The article from the Vim follows:
 While marooned in Ashdown for twenty-four hours last week, on ac- count of missing train connections, the editor started out to see if he could learn something of interest and benefit to his readers.
 "As large majority of our sub scribers are farmers, the first thing which attracted our attendtion was a "Farm Bureau" sign hanging in front of a building Anything pertaining to the advancement of the agricul- tural interests appeals to us. and we headed in to secure what information we could as to the workings or the in stitution.
 We were cordially welcomed by H. P. Haizlip, the government cotton classer and manager of the bureau, and his charming daughter, Miss Mil dred ,R. Haizlip, the capable secretary and treasurer. MT. Haizlip Is a cot ton buyer who formerly operated in this section, and is we'll known to many of our people. e---e
 "In answer to our inquiries, MT. Haizlip stated that products of all kinds are listed for sale at the bureau, so that people in the market for dif- ferent commodities may know what can be secured. Cotton is vre of the products listed, and MT. Haizlip, who is the government grader, groups cot ton into the different classes, so that he is enabled to offer so many bales of such-andsuch grade. so that buy CTS may get exactly what they want without taking stuff they do not want in order to get the cotton with which to fill their orders.
 '"The bureau is operated on the CO., operative plan, and the membership fee is only $500 per year. A man whose greatest per cent of income is from the farm may become an active member, and a man who is interested in farming, but whose greatest per cent of income comes from other sources may become an honorary member. All members may attend meetings of the bureau and partici- pate in discussions, but only the ac- tive members are allowed to vote.

Fifty thousand farmers share in the benefits of the colleges cooperative work every year. College authorities showed fig ures they had compiled which proves that former students averaged l3 bushels of corn more to the acre than the average for the state. They had figures to show that in 25 counties phosphate fertilizersa have averaged five dollars, return for every dollars cost. It was shown that where the soil methods advocated by the col lege have been fohowed throughout the state they have averaged seven dollars increase in profits to the acre.
 See Students at Work.
 Ine legislators were shown tla students at work curing meats, pack ing fruit and operating farm and dairy machinery. They inspected the colleges choice herds or the leading breeds of horses, beef and dairy cat tie, hogs and sheep. They were told that these herds were started with from one to three animals. They were shown the results of the field tests that have been carried on for 36 years. They saw COW that had pro- duced 13 tons Of milk III one year and they saw several cows that have pro- duced half a ton of butter in year. They saw large fiocks of poultry with many hen that have Iaid more than 200 eggs a year. The college has been the leading force in the movement that has brought the poultry industry to a point where the average daily sales of $300,0O0, throughout the year.
 No Large Appropriation. ~
 It was said that the Missouri col lege never has enjoyed large appro- priations but it has been ,ortunate in securing the services of a strong faculty and it has been through the efforts of these educators that the college has become a great institution

TO SEEK PLAN TO
 RELIEVE THE FARMERS
Agricultural Committees of Both the Houses Will Consider Situation.
 Some Aid is Necessary.

Washington, Dec. 1. - Emergency measures to alleviate the plight of the farmers who face an aggregate loss of $7, ,000, ,O0O0000 through sale of their products at less than cost will be con- sidered tomorrow at joint session of the Senate and House Committee on Agriculture.
 The principal subjects will be the re- vival of the War Finance Corporation, placing of a tariff on Canadian wheat and extensions of credit to Germany and Russia for the purchase of Amer ican agricultural products. Eugene Meyer Jr., who was the head of the War Finance Corporation, conferred with Senators Kellogg and Capper today and agreed to attend the meeting tomorrow. He favors the revival of the corporation for the re- the marketing of American products abroad.
 Senators Borah and Reed will urge the immediate recognition of the So- viet government of Russia and the resumption of full trade relations as we'll as the extension of large credit to Germany with the $50O,OOO, 900 German property still in the hands of the government as security Many legislators believe the exper- fence of the farmers with the falling prices will retreat in the direction of a lessened volume of food production next year to the detriment of the whole country.
 Senator Capper's Remedies.
 Senator Capper, Republican, who says the approaching Republican ad ministration will be repudiated four years hence if it fails to make good in the solution of economic problems, outlined the following demands for farmers in addition to the re-estab- lishment of the War Finance Corpora tion and the extension of credits to Europe: .-
 Adequate credit for farmers, through short time and long time loans, adapted fairly and practically to the peculiar conditions of the farm ing business, to afford farmers the same credit accommodations now af- forded other lines of business and that they may not be compelled to dump their products on a glutted or demor- alized market.
 Abolish gambling in wheat, cotton, corn and all farm products; gamblers and big spectators wreck our mar kets and are taking advantage of their present demoralized condition to hammer prices below cost of produc- tion.
 Fair and open markets for all farm products, free from manipu.atlon and hold-ups by speculasors and middle men, H
 Full legal authority for nationwide operative marketing by farmers, through the Capper-Herman bill.
 Regulation of the packers.
 A national marketing board, in which the producer will be represent ed, with power to the board to regu- late the rate of marketing and to ad- wise and assist in stabilizing prices, that injury to producer or to con sumer through ruinous practices or conditions may be avoided.
 Tariff revision to protect Ameri- can''agrtculture. rn
 Protection for wool growers and the public ffoin' the unfair competition of shoddy goods, through the Capper- French ''truth-infabrics" bill.

PLANS BIG BRIDGE
OVER NARROWS TO
STATEN ISLAND
ThnnelS Also Suggested to
Estimate Board to Link
Richmond and Brooklyn.


Plans for linking the Borough Of
Richmond with the other boroughs Of
Greater New York were presented to
the Board Of Estimate to-day by
John II. Delaney, transit construc-
ton. The cost OF carrying the plans
into effect varies from s6.OOO,O 900 to
S1OO,OOO,OOO, the latter figure repre-
senting the outside cost of bridge
100 feet high, across the Narrows
from Brooklyn to Staten Island.
The Brooklyn terminal would be
located near the intersection of
Fourth Avenue, Fort Hamilton Park
way and seth Street, and the Rich
mond approach, where vehicular con-
nection could be made with the
South side Boulevard and residential
district in the interior of the island.
Commissioner Delaney says the
bridge could be utilized not only for
rapid transit and vehicular traffic,
! but for through passenger and
, trunk lines would agree to participate
| in the cost.
! "Such a bridge" said Commissioner
! Delaney, would be one of the great
est in the world. Its main span
would be approximately 1900 feet,
about the same as that of the noted
Quebec bridge.
The other plans provide for tun-
nels. One Of the routes suggested is
! a two tube tunnel under the upper
bay from 67th Street, Brooklyn, to
Tompkinsville, Staten Island. with
direct connection with the Fourth
Avenue subway at 9th Street.
The estimated cost Of the 9th
Street Tompkinsvine tunnel is
S25, 100000.
Another tunnel project would ex-
tend from a point under 95th Street,
Brooklyn, to Rosebank, Staten Island.
The length OF this tube directly under
the Narrows would be about $500 fec.
between pierhead lines, or 3,4O0 feet
less than the other route. In order 70
reach this point of the Narrows, it
would be necessary TO extend tho
Fourth Avenue subway from IL.
present terminus near Seth Street
Brooklyn, to a point near 95th Street
The estimated cost OF the Fourt1
Avenue subway extension is So, GOO, OOC
and Of the tunnel construction pc
tween 95th Street and Rosebanl
$lI000,O0O 1t would take about five
years to construct this line and she
9th Street line would be about five
years.
The Commissioner says that within
two years it will be possible TO ex-
tend the Fourth Avenue subway to
Goth Street on the bay front, anC
from that point establish a ferry
|, service between the Brooklyn shor,
at 95th Street and Clifton, Slater
Island. This would cost abou'
100000 for subway extension ant
100000 for ferry boats and ferr,
terminals. The ferry line would b.
about a mile long and would admi
