leaders of the organized farmers be-
iieve that if the spectators succeed
in stealing the wheat crop they will
begin similar raid almost immediate-
ly on corn. hogs and cattle .There-

In commenting 7 Of : the wheat
Fight, William Hifth, Publisher Of
The Missouri Farmer at Columbia,
Mo-, and member of the Executive
Committee gave out the following
statement: "The effort to steal the
1920 wheat crop is an infamy made
possible only through the resumption
Of dealing in futures on the various
Boards of Trade. The u. S. and Can
ada are the only countries in the
world that have a real surplus of good
wheat to -sell--and if Europe buys
every -bushel-we can spare e-she will
still be more than 100,000,000 bushels
short. What the spectators intend to
do is to first force us to sell our wheat
for about half what it is worth land
then to make similar raid against
corn, hogs and cattle in order, as they
are already beginning to say, "to
bring them into line with wheat"
This is what one of the big Chicago
Packers meant the other day when he
talked about ,75c per bushel for the
present corn crop. - .t9.
But if those farmers who have not
yet sold their wheat will stand pat
for SO per bushel at the terminal mar
kets we will give the manipulators the
worst licking they ever got in their
lives. l say this because the big ter
iminal Elevators are empty, In Kan

cent, of The savailableeslepatere space is
filed with wheat and the same is true
at practically all other great termin-
al markets. Hundreds of the big mills
have only a few weeks supply on
hand. And this means that thousands
of farmers have already made up their
minds to hold outN for decent price.

prepared by the United States Depart

Warning against the feeding of dis
eased cattle carcasses to hogs Is sound
ed by the United States department OF
agriculture. A conference of state and
federal officials, to deal with matters
of tuberculosis eradication, brought to
light numerous instances where hogs
contracted tuberculosis after feeding
on carcasses of tuberculous cattle. In
one case nearly an entire drove OF
hogs showed LESSONS Of tuberculosis
which at first the owner could not &C.
count for. Later he admitted to the
veterinarian investigating the case
that several months before he had fed
to the hogs the carcass of cow that
never did very well"
The bureau of animal industry urges
livestock owners to have a careful
autopsy made on animals dying on the
farm or killed because Of sickness in
order that the definite cause Of trou'
BILE may be learned. Carcasses thai

should not be fed. Instead. such car
cases should be cared for so that nc
mart can be eaten by hogs. Thorough
destruction of the carcass by burning
or by deep burial under a liberal ap
plication of quicklime, is the proper
procedure in such cases. Attention Is
called also to the danger of feeding
offal from slaughtered animals to
swine, as such practice is another
source Of infection.

ment of Agriculture)
For many years rabbits have been
raised in this country as pets ana as
fancy stock for competitive exhibit
lions, but now it has become prom
able for many living in the country
and even city dwellers, to raise these
animals for the food market. Until
war and postwar prices set everyone
to thinking about the food problem.
there had been no real incentive 10
breed rabbits for practical ends, as
they were not actually needed TOT
food. and better fur than theirs couio
be had for little money. However, the
great change in economic conditions
has materially changed their status.
The general introduction OF any
kind of a food product is Dependent
upon the publics familiarity with that
product. American people in genera
have learned something of the vaiue
of rabbit meat through the rather
general use of wild rabbits, when
were. hunted and trapped by farmers
and sDortsmen and others in almost
all parts of the country. Homegrown
rabbits do not have the gamy navol
OF wild rabbits, their flesh being prac
tically indistinguishable by taste from
that of chicken.
Because of the well-rememberet
Belgian hare boom which took place
some years ago, there is considerable
| disinclination on the part of man!
to undertake rabbit raising for proht

United States department of agricul-
ture. The Belgian hare boom spread
rapidly for a time and continued as
long as there was a demand for breed
ing stock, but when this demand was
changed to meat basis the boom
collapsed, as there was then no real
need for a new source OF meat.
Demand for Rabbit Meat.
Experience in more recent years has
proved, however, that rabbit raising
for the purpose of supplying tie meat
trade is profitable. City and suburban
dwellers are raising rabbits in back
yards. Although the total production
is as yet comparatively small. 1t Is
steadily increasing. In such scattered
sections of the country as California.
Washington, Colorado, Kansas, Mis-
souri,, the domesticated rabbit Is rec
ognized as a regular meat animal.
Rabbits are shipped alive to market
in crates or are neatly dressed ready
for cooking and are packed in san
itary manner for transportation.
There are numerous instances OF
profitable rabbit raising. A resident In
| Kansas City, Kans., has raised 3Oo
| TO 400 pounds of rabbit meat for use
on his own table, at cost of about
! half the present meat prices. A large
| institution in Nebraska has raised rab
bits instead Of poultry and reports
the meat more satisfactory than chick
en-, and also most profitable prod
uct. On "A county farm in Washington
| rabbits were grown to provide FOL
the county hospitals, furnishing a sub
| stit,ite for chickens.
Europeans Eat Many Rabbits.
Further evidence of the marketing
possibilities in rabbit raising are Il
be found in the experience of France
and Belgium and other European
countries. In the greater part Of
Europe, except the most northerly por
lions, rabbit breeding was an industr!
Of considerable importance before ths
war. About 100,000,0O0 rabbits were
marketed annually in France. approx
| imately 100000 were raised In Bel
GUM per year for home consumption
and export. The value of rabbits an
nually exported from Ostend to Eng
land exceeded $1O00.OOO. while. In
Guiding wild hares raised In English
preserves, England itself was produc
ing from 100000 to 100000 rad
bits. The consumption in one year De
fore the war in London amounted e
hair a million pounds daily and II

TOMATO SEED HAVE A
VALUE WHEN SAVED

That much valuable material is
being wasted annually by throwing
away tomato seeds extracted in the
pulping, soup, catsup and canning
plants is indicated by Investigations
made by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.
Department investigators have
found that more than 1000 tons Of
seed are thrown away annually in
Northern tomato pulping plants, and
with large enough output Of seed to
pay for shipping, and that they may
be made into edible oil and stock
food worth about $4,000.
