One OF the best reasons why Grant
county farmers should support the
farm bureau movement is the fact that
the American and State Farm Bureau
Federations are already working for
tho Z.
Killed Nolan Bill
The Farm Bureau has practically
in >ured the defeat of the Ralston- No
Ian Bill which--if Congress should
pass it--would impose a special one
per cent. tax on all land values above
$4,000. The American Farm Bureau
was represented at the recent Ifdus-
t.e;a! Tax Conference in New York
and succeeded in giving it what they
call "a body blow Every farmer
who Joins the Farm Bureau helps to
keep up the fight against this bill.
Grain and Livestock Marketing
The evils surrounding the present
system of grain marketing will be
el minated by the Farm Bureau Fed
Grafton. This "com mittee of II" ap-
pointed by President Howard is now
busy and expects to make definite
dIICI LIGA nave
thoroughly studied the problems. The
livestock marketing Committee of Is
is engaged in similar undertaking for
livestock interests.
Daylight Saving Law
The Farm Bureaus were response
BILE for the repeal of the Daylight Saw
ing Law over the Presidents veto. A
petition of $4,000 names was sent to
Congress from the Iowa Farm Bureau
alone.
Capper-V Volstead Bill
The Farm Bureaus are studying the
matter of farm credits and working
to bring about better system of f.
nancing the farm business. In order
to be profitable, the farm business
must be able to secure long time cred
its at terms consistent with the char
acter of the business and the in-fre-
quent turnover Other businesses
have turn-overs six or seven times
per year while complete farm turn
over Of farm capital occurs only once
in three or four years.
Tariff
At the present time the industries
of the United States, except agricul
ture, have adequate tariff protection.
This matter must be studied by the
farmers and provision secured for
tariff protection for agriculture that
will assure high standard of living
in this country and not make it nee
essary for farmers Of America to COM
pete against cheap labor and low
standards Of foreign countries.
Transportation
The Farm Bureaus have been very
effective in studying the transporta-
tion situation which is one of the most
important problems Of the American

RURAL CARRIER EXAMINATION

The United States civil service
Commission has announced an exami-
nation for the County Of Grant, S. D.
at Stockholm and Milbank on Jan. 8,
1921 to fill the position cf rural car
rier at Stockholm and vacancies that
may later occur on rural routes from
post Offices in the aforementioned
county. The salary of rural car
rier on standard daily route of "a
miles is $500 per annum, with an
additional $50 per mile per annum tor
each mile or major fraction thereof in
access Of "a miles. The examination
will be open to citizens who are ac
tually domiciled in the territory Of a
post office in the county and who meet
the other requirements set forth in
Form No. 1877.

farmers. The activities of the farm
bureaus have helped greatly in re-
lievin@ somewhat very serious car
shortages and bringing about better
distribution of cars within the past
few months.
The Farm Bureaus are Supportin"
the project to open the st. Lawrence
river for deep sea traffic from the
Groat Lakes to the Atlantic ocean.
This is the quickest, cheapest and the
most effective means Of relieving our
thoroughly Inadequate transportation
system. Already the farm bureaus
have been able to secure substantial
relief from car shortages by bringing
about the use of the Great Lakes Of
a considerable number of idle boats
capable of carrying large volumes of
grain.
Wool Marketing
With the help of the Farm Bureaus
and the wool growers associations the
wool growers in every important wool
state in the nation have this year
pooled large portion OF their wool.
This wool is now held in warehouses
at various points in the middlewest
and east. A national selling agency
is now being developed which will
unite all Of the state wool pools into
one great national pool and the wool
will be held until reasonable price is
obtained.
South Dakota has a very large wool
pool consisting of more than mil
lion pounds which is stored in the ma
tional wool warehouse at Chicago.
There are. thirty million pounds of
wool in the 1920 clip pooled by 13
middlewest states which will be CEN
tered in the national selling agency.
Freight Rates
The Farm Bureaus employed Cliff
ford ThOrne, the ablest attorney in
agriculture matters in America, to
present the farmers of the United
States in hearings regarding the in
crease in freight rates. AS result of
the work of the Farm Bureaus it was
proven that the railroads were asking
for increased freight rates on the bas-
is of property valuation several
hundred million dollars in excess Of
the actual value. The Farm Bureaus
were also able to show that the pas
senger traffic should bear its proper
tionate part of the increased cost Of
operating railroads. AS a result the
total freight rate increase was very
s-,,aI lose fban ~ would h..yn hoon wit !,
ort such a strong representation. As
farmers pay the greatest portion of
the freight bills of the country, this
means many .millions of dollars to the
farmers of America. The work of the
Farm Bureaus on the railroad rate
: hearings alone is worth the total cost
of the Farm Bureau.

For the Good of
 the Community

EXPORTS of American cotton in 1919 >I amounted to 6,557, ,187 bales valued at $1,137,371, ,252.
 American mill consumption of cotton runs from 6,250,000 to $780, 900 bales per annum.
 Great Britain alone takes 3,250,000 bales of American cotton every year.
 It follows that one-half of the Ameri- can cotton crop goes to other nations be- yond our boundaries. Great Britain alone takes one-third of our cotton yield.
 In addition to exports of raw cotton we exported during 1919 cotton seed oil val ued at $40,O 100000 and oil cake and cake meal valued at $20,000,000.
 One-eighth of the American lumber cut goes abroad every year
 Delving into the exportation of iron and steel products, of wheat and manufac- tured goods, will disclose an array of figures just as convincing of the intimate relations of America with the rest of the world. The American producer has noth- ing to do with isolation.
 Where did the first four ships turned out in our own Mobile yards go to? What did they carry? Two have gone to Rotter- dam in Europe and two to Japan China and the Philippines. What did they carry? Steel products from Birmingham and lumber products from South Ala bama. Two went third of the way around the world and the other two as far from home as it is possible to go.
 Not long ago cargo of nitrate from Chile came up the Warrior river from New Orleans in barges for local ex- plosives plant. There is now on the gulf en route to Valparaiso, Chile, 2,5OO tons of Alabama coke. The ships that bring us the nitrates carry back Alabama products for the people who sent the nitrates. That is an intimate trade connection.
 A few days ago steamer from Brazil dOcked at Mobile with cargo of 5000 tons of Brazilian ore This is coming up the Warrior in barges to Port of Birming- ham and is being transferred from the port to the nearby mills of the T. c. I. at Ensley and Fairfield. In return Brazil wishes our coal and steel and iron, our cotton goods, our automobiles, our South Alabama naval stores.
 M, neighborhood. Out in the country one may stand on his porch and vision the house on the contiguous property. The next farm may be around the hill, but we know it is there because we meet the resi- dents at church and on the roadside going to the common county site, because we are engaged in the same calling and have the same interests.
 The only difficulty about sensing the intimate relations, which America has with the rest of the world, is lack of physi- cal vision and contact on the part of the individual. But man is given intelligence as we'll as eyes, ears and hands He does not have to see all that which he believes. If that were the case, there would be no faith on earth and dreary place it would be.
 These ships are our winged messen- gers to the far places. Without them there would have been no gospel and without them men would not have been enabled to exchange products and each contribute to < the well-being of the other.
