Seed Market Quiet;

The Improvement in the seed
markets that was expected to take
place after the first of the year has
not materialized. and conditions
were even duller during the week
ending January % than week ago.
Car load buyers are fighting shy OF
present prices. but the larger seeds
men are unwilling to lower prices
much, because their stocks are not
large. Although growers for some
time have been reluctant to dispose
of their seed. seedsmen find it easier
to buy from them than to sell to
country merchants and small seed
dealers. Every one from grower TO
consumer is elaying waiting
game. European exports are be-
coming anxious about the passive
ness OF the American importers and
are gradually reducing the quota

Not the Deadly Auto

Thirty persons "killed in the streets" of
Tulsa Okla, the other day in riot between white and
negro gunner, both sides probably consisting almost
entirely of pretty tough citizens Nevertheless, the
thirty deaths in streets caused an enormous sensa
ton all over the country.
But nobody seems to be startled at all over the
fact that three times 80 persons are "killed in the
streets of New York every month in the year by auto
vehicles alone Nobody is at all sensationed because
more than 80 persons are killed by motors every
month"; average, in the streets of cities of the
general grade of Cleveland st. Louis and Los Angeles
The number of fatalities from automobile acct
dents in our ctis is increasing all tn TIM Only a
few years ago, the average in New York City, for
instance was one day for the year. Next year, no
doubt, four day will be killed in that city by motor
cars, or the APPALLING number of AGO in year.
Our streets filled with these locomotives,
of them run by boys and girls and many Of them
by reckless people having mania for speed, mania
to get somewhere quicker than safety allows.
The automobile is convenience and pleasure
and it has to stay But it is high time that the
laws put brake on some Of the fools that own and
machines.

TO PROBE FARM PRICES

Washington, June 81. That Re-

to take no chances in their efforts to
assist the farmers of the country is
evidenced by the prompt passage
through the House of measure crea-

gate the cause of the. difference

products and the price ultimately
paid for those products 10y the con-
umer.
''rhe passage of the resolution"
said Representative Strong Of Kansas
was requested by the Congress of
Farm Organizations held here in
the city of Washington in April last,
Representatives of 16 farm organi-
cations met here in conference.
They knew that the farmers were
receiving only about 10 or Is per
cent of the price that the American
people are charged for their COM
modities. They knew that the pri-
ces of farm products had been de-
fated, but thatall supplies and mate
rial that the farmer buys were still
carrying the war price. They knew
that credits had been restricted to
agriculture, that cattlemen were be-
| ing sold out, and the stock herds
sacrificed. They knew that cattle,
sheep, and hogs, corn and wheat
oats, cotton, butter, eggs, and all
farm produce which they were being
forced to sell at prices far below the
cost of production were still being
sold to the consumer at prices they
could not afford to pay, which rob
bed the producers of the sympathy
which would otherwie result in pro
tecting them from ruin"
