Farmers Own IT'S Stores

in recent speech at Red Cloud, Carl
f. Siatt, vice president of the Farmers
exchange at Omaha, said that the farm
ers of Nebraska have 175 stores and nave
not had a single failure in four years
He stated that seven counties of the
state had raised 5000 600 to boost the farm
ers' Institution. That the South Platte
farmers of Nebraska have raised $4,000
for the State exchange The West Point
store was doing s1400 a day business
That the manager of the Red Cloud store
reports that they are doing a business
amounting to $3.50 day. George Kailey
manager of the, local elevator, reports
that the elevator handled 10000 bushels
Of grain in the past year, saving the
members of the union over $1,000 i'm profits.
He stated that statistics proved that
the unions are making good throughout
the whole, United States. The Nebraska
State exchange sold to Montgomery-Ward
1000 pairs Of, overalls and Sears-Rocbuck
COCO shifts He said that the farmers
union was the only hope of saving the
/ little towns as paved roads and autos
were taking the people to larger towns
and cities. where they are doing their
shopping Unless the farmers can be IN
| terested in the business of thetoWn II
will have no future. A store or elevator
| conducted by the farmers keeps the
business in the community and makes
future for the town.
| His closing remarks were to the ef-
feet that a car of butter was worth
$50. 900 and that the farmer serves as
| a capitalist and friend of labor and
| that they were the only means OF
bringing the two together.

COTTON BUSTING MACHINERY

result from night work in the cotton
fields is certain to give an unusual
amount of trouble. The machine, also, is
unweldly, difficult to move from field to
field. exceptionally difficult to operate
among stumps and ruts. The complexity
of it's construction and operation makes
it far from fool proof" and the average
cotton field negro is helpless in its pres
ence In addition to all this, the four.

cotton. M
The third type of buster, and the one

mules The busting machinery is driven
by sprockets on the traction wheels. IT

cient than the engine-driven machine. It

Experimental machines of this type,

operations with Delta planters, stood up
under a hard seasons work. though they
were built much lighter than would be
required for a permanent model. and give
by far the most satisfactory results that

chinery.
Men who are acquainted with the es-
sentials of such construction say thai
good machines OF this type can be built t.

facturers are as yet interested in max
ling them. The strong demand and short
age of supply, therefore. may force ;
higher price at the outset.

'Insect Patrol Continued

Horse and Tractor Merits

One OF the chief means of effecting
increased and more economic production
on tho farms of this country. and CON
seouently of reducing high cost of liv-
ing to a considerable degree, is more
efficient and complete utilization of farm
power, according to the report of
special committe recently appointed by
the Secretary of Agriculture This re-
port gives formal expression to the con-
illusions arrived at in conference re-
Gently held in Chicago at the invitation
of the secretary. This gathering included
representatives of farmers. horse breed
ers, tractor and implement manufactur-
ers, saddlery manufacturers feed pro-
ducers. and workers from the farm man.
agement, animal husbandry and a45'ficul-
tural engineering departments of agri-
cultural colleges, as we'll as representa-
tives of various divisions in the federal
department. including the bureau of ami
NAL industry, the rural engineering di-
vision of the bureau of public roads and
the office of farm management. Studies
which should be made to show the rela-
tive merits of horses and tractors for use
in various capacities on the farm was
the central theme of discussion. The
conference recommended that series of
studies and Investigations relating to five
principal subjects be undertaken under
the auspices of the United States depart
ment of agriculture in cooperation with
state agricultural colleges.
Under farm power requirements" it
was suggested that attention be given
to the farmers needs in various field
operations, in hauling and in the opera
ton of heavy belt-driven machinery, and
In small power operations.
Under the topics animal power and
'smechanical power the recomm ended
field of investigation includes a study of
the preferable size of animal and mechan-
ical power units. costs of maintenance,
total utilization of power units and the
quality of work done by each.
Classed under the subject relation of
forms of farm power to man labor the
themes listed for consideration inclade
seasonal demand for labor. the effect of
time and weather limitations. the cost of
man labor, the quality of work required,
and so on.
The fifth topic, influences (of various
types of power units) on farm organza-
ton and operation" covers such items
as the size of the farm, the size of fields.
the topography of the farm. intensity OF
culture and total farm profits.
The conference recommended that ap-
preparations be made for these funda-
mental studies of farm-power problems,
and that when such appropriations be-
come available the Investigations be
planned by a committee of the ablest men
available.

Crop Value Almost Tripled

The value of crops produced in the
United States this year is nearly three
times greater than the average annual
vaidc during the FIVE years preceding the
outbreak of the European war. according
to the report of the Secretary of Agricul-
ture ION the basis of prices that have
recently prevailed says the secreatry,
1.-THE total value of all crops produced
in 1919 is s15, $40, 0O0, COD, compared with H.
90, 600 for 1918: s13. 49, 100000 for 1917
80 054, coo 600 for 1916; Sc 100000 for 1911
and s5.s29, 900 for the five-year aver
age, 1910-114 These values represent
gross PRODUCTION and not net returns to
the producer The value of live stock on
farms in 1919 was $3.50. 00G 900, compared
with 1920. 000, 900 in 1918; s5,13G,0O0,000 in
1917 se021 00c 600 in 1876 ST. 800 o00, 900 in 1914
and s5,31S, 10000 for the five-year average
1e1O-1914.
.'The increased financial showing. 1t is
again necessary to emphasize. does not
mean that the nation is better off to that
extent or that its real wealth has ad-
vanced in that proportion. Considering
merely the domestic relations, the true
state is indicated rather in terms OF real
commodities, comparative statements OF
which are given in foregoing tables. The
Increased valuess however, do reveal that
the monetary returns to the farmers nave
increased proportionately with those OIL
other groups of producers in the nation,
and that their purchasing power has
kept pace in the rising scale of prices.

Machinery for busting cotton with cal
crum arsenate for boil weevil control bids
fair to be- in the southern states, one
of the most important kinds of farm ma
chinery. AS the new demonstrated meth
od of control comes more and more into
use, an, increasingly large number OF
farmers will be in the market for ma
chimes Several seasons must elapse be-
fore the initial demand is met. After that
the renewal demand will probably be just
as steady as it now is for moving ma
chimes for cu.tivators for plows. The
manufacturer WHIT gets into the game
now and tries to meet the actual needs
of the situation instead of trying to make
excessive profits on the first seasons rum
will establish himself as pioneer in
great industry, and his future should
be assured.

At the Worlds Crossroads

Most of the peoples of the world meet

Keeu Strength in TB Plan

After two years of practical operation
OF the tuberculosis-free accredited herd
plan, a joint committee representing the
pure~bred cattle associations and the
United States Live Stock Sanitary asso-
citation has unanimously decided that no
steps should be taken to lower the high
standard of the present plan.
1t was decided that no herd should be
% accredited if it contains tubercr.c&.s
animal, male or female. 1t was agreed
by the joint committee to show that OWL
ers are exerting an effort to exterminate
the disease. that a supplementary list be
made to the accredited herd list to con-
tain the names of the owners of pure
bred herds that are free from the tuber-
ouloss on two animal tests. but in whh'h

not receive an accredited herd certifi-
