SCRIPTURE


Ho. every one that thifsteth, come ye
to the waters, and h%that hath no money ;
come We, buy, and eat; yea, come. buy
wine and milk without money and withour
price
Wherefore do ye spend money for that
which is not bread: and your labor for
that which satisfieth not hearKen diiigent-
~ unto me. and eat We that which Is geee,
and let your soul delight itself in fairness
Incline your ear and come unto me /:
hear, aad your soul shall live; aud / will
make an everlasting covenant with YOU
even the sure mercies of navid.
Behold, have given him for witness
to the people, leader and commander to
the people.
Behold, thou shalt call nation that thou
knewest not. and HatieRs that knew not
thee shall run unto thee because of the
Lord thy God, and for the Holy One On
Israel; for he hath glerified thee.
Seek ye the Lord while he may be founa,
call ye upon him while he is near.
Let the wicked forsake his way. and the
unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him
return unto the Lord, and he will have
mercy upon him: and to our God, for he
will Abundantly pardon.
For my thoughts not yeur thoughts,
neither are your ways my ways, saith the
Lord.

RAISE FARM BUREAU DUES
County Representatives Decide on
Raise to SIS Per Year.

Manhattan, Kan, Oct. 2.=A
meeting of the Kansas State Farm
bureau. held here September 2I-22,
attended by a representative from each
organized county, it was decided to
raise the dues to the state farm bureau
and American FarrN Bureau Fede "a
ton to SIS a year. This was done be-
cause 1t was found that 81 dues were
not sufficient to furnish finances ade-
quate to permit Kansas to take part
in the program outlined by the Amer
can Farm Bureau Federation and
other states in this section OF the
country.
The American Farm Bureau Fedora
ton has undertaken to work out a
cooperative marketing association to
handle the grain of this section Of the
country, and J. r. Howard. president,
has been asked to appoint a commit
tee to plan a livestock marketing as
sociation and another to plan a wool
marketing association. All Of the
states in this section also have UNDER
taken to make quarterly survey of
market during the three months fol-
lowing the survsS. Information OBJ
tanned by the survey will be furnished
the members. to aid them in selecting
the proper time to market their stock.
The raise in dues was made in order
to enable Kansas to take part in this
program and keep abreast of the farm
bureau movement in ether states. The
meeting also recommended unani-
meusly thot dues for county work be
not less than IS a year.
Many of the state farm bureaus in
this section of the country raised their
dues before similar action was taken
in Kansas. Howard Leonard, presi-
dent of the Illinois Agricultural ssocia-
ton, told the delegates that Illinois
farmers had more faith in the Illinois
association, and were giving it better
support, since the dues were raised in
that state than when they were
only 81.

SELL OWN STOCK
Farmers Organize Corpora
tive Shipping Association.
Hope to Eliminate Fluctuations
in Prices.
FORM COMMISSION FIRMS
Would Regulate Flow of Cattle
to Market.
Each Shipper to Stand His
RIM COMMISSION FIRMS
Each Shipper to Stand His
Share of the Cost.

Manhattan, Kan, Kan, Oct. At
a meeting of the presidents and seere-
tarles OF state farm bureaus of the
middle west, held here September al,
%, steps were taken for perfecting a
plan whereby the farmers of this sec-
ton may market their own livestock.
By the plan outlined, they hope to
eliminate heavy gluts and sharp
fluctuations at the principal markets.
1t was agreed that the first step
should be the establishment of county
cooperative shipping associations. 1t
is planned to have each county assoc
citation employ a manager. whose duty
it would be to list the livestock ready
for shipment, make up the loads, and
ship. The cost of operation would be
distributed among the shippers accord
ing to the amount of livestock shipped.
Representatives from practically every
state at the meeting told of the sue
cess of shipping associations in their
state. 1t was pointed out that a more
uniform method of organization for
these county associations is needed,
and committee was appointed to out
line such plans and report at the next
meeting,
Form Commission Firms.
The ACCESSIBILITY of establishing live
stock commission firms at stock yards
in the middle west was also discussed.
H. ID. Lutte, secretary of the Nebraska
Farm bureau federation. told of the
success of the Farmers Union COM
mission firm at Omaha. During the
past six months. he said. this co-opera-
tive firm has done more business than
any other in the Omaha yards. and
has returned to the shippers 65 per
cent of all the commissions charged.
Mr.. E. E. Woodman, of the Farmers
Union Commission company at Kan
sas City, also told of the experiences
of the cooperative commission COM
pany started there.
The main object in recommending
this action is not to save money on
commissions, either by the shipping
association or the commission firm,
but to be in a position to regulate the
flow of stock to the principal markets.
with the view of stabilizing prices and
putting the producers in a position 10
realize the full value of their product.
j. H. Mercer, secretary of the Kan
sas Livestock association, who was
| called upon for advice in the matter
stated that he favored any action
which would better livestock market
ing conditions, but warned these pres
ent that such a plan would take time
and could not be worked out in six
months or year.
The states represented had already
taken action at a former meeting &c
make quarterly survey of the live
stock on feed in order to be able
to know how much stock is likely &c
| be seeking the market at any period
during the year.
| The American Farm Bureau fedora.
| ton will call conference of all live
stock associations early in October, to
| outline some definite plan to stabilizt
| the livestock market. A committee
similar to the national grain market
| ing committee of 100" probably will
be appointed.

Each fall the two thousand crop

weather bureau office.
Must Be Near Ground.
One of the most important things
about getting a reliable record with a
standard gauge is to have it near the
ground and away from trees and
buildings. The weather bureau con-
siders that it should be at least as far
from any object as the height of the
object above the gauge, and the
farther the better. Contrary to a gen
eral impression, a roof is a poor place
for a raingauge and is used by the
weather bureau in large cities only
because no open spaces near the
ground are available. The edge of a
roof, especially, is to be avoided as air
currents there are often moving up
wards and carry rain up and way
from the gauge.
5000 Gauges in Use.
The weather bureau attaches so
much value to rainfall records that
it has almost 5000 gauges in use in
different parts of the country. many

Daily measurements of rainfall are
made in every county in Kansas with
gauges like this, maintained under the
supervision of the weather bureau Of

At the end of each month these
are compiled and printed on a map of
Kansas in The State Journal, which
is the only newspaper in Kansas that
makes the official rainfall record
available to it's readers.
