CONGRESS TO HEAR
VIEWS OF FARMERS
Meeting Will be Held
Under Direction of
County Agents

The American farm bureau feder
alton has requested that an agricul
tural hearing be held in every count!
in the United States. The county
agent is to take charge Of these hear
ings and is asked to assume the role
of prosecuting attorney and question
farmers representing each kind o.
crops produced in order to draw
from the farmer his opinion as tt
causes for existing conditions.
The facts brought out by these
hearings will be presented by the
American farm bureau federation to
joint commission OF agriculture in
quiry made up of five senators and
five representatives, now being held
in Washington, D. G. BY act of con-
gress said commission was created ia
investigate and report to Congress
upon the following subjects; First,
the cause Of the present condition OF
agriculture; second, the cause of the
difference between the prices of
agricultural products paid to the
producer and the ultimate cost to
the consumer; third, the compare
tive condition of industries other
than agriculture; fourth, the rela-
ton of price of commodities other
than agricultural products, to such
products; fifth, the banking and
financial resources and credits of the
country, especially as effecting agri-
cultural credit; sixth, marketing and
transportation Of facilities of the
county.
The commission is to include in
its report recommendations for leg
islation which in its opinion will
tend to remedy existing conditions
and shall specifically report upon the
limitations of the powers Of congress
in enacting relief legislation.
The commission is composed Of
the following: Representatives
Sydna Anderson Of Minnesota, chair
man; Frank H. Funk of Illinois,
Ogden L. Mills of New York, Peter
G. TenEyck of New York, Hatton w.
Summers of Texas and Senators
Irvine l.. Lenroot of Wisconsin,
Arthur Capper of Kansas, Charles l..
McNary of Oregon, Joseph T. Robin
son of Arkansas and Pat Harrison of
Missouri
Secretary Ross of the Idaho farm
bureau federation says these reports
are arriving daily and the outstand-
ing problems in this intermountain
country developed by these hearings,
are high freight rates, bad distribu-
ton, finance, failure of the retail
trade to reduce their price below war
period, which is the cause of the ap-
parent buyers strike. AS a result all
the sacrifice made by the farmer in
producing his crops at loss, simply
goes to swell the profits of the re-
taller, and pay the increase in
freight rates Of the railroads, molly
coddled by the government.

Two are Arrested
for Leaving Fire
Burning in Forest

BOISE, Idaho.-That the forest
service officials are determined to
make an example Of careless campers
who cause fires in the forests is evil
dent from the fact that they caused
the arrest of j. A. Clayville and
Melvin Hurst both of Boise and had
them bound over for trial in the fed
eral court.
They were given a preliminary
hearing before United States Com
missioner John Jackson. They built
a fire alongside of tree-stump and
after putting it, as they thought, left
the camp. 1t seems the fire ran
down into the stump and later burst
out, but the flames were discovered
by rangers before material damage
was done. The forest officials, how
ever, have repeatedly warned aginst
not putting out camp fires, and be-
lieve that the time has come to make
an example of those guilty.

Dutch Boys Record
is Equaled by "A
Game Little Kid

NEW YORK.-The Dutch boy
who plugged up a hole in the dixie
with his hand and saved all Holland
is a prototype of five-year-old Davey
McCluskey Of Harlem. Davey's arm
got stuck in fire hydrant for half
an hour before six firemen took the
hydrant apart and freed him.
Davey and some chums found the
cap of the hydrant loose and un-
screwed it. Davey showed his left
arm in up to the shoulder. When
he tried to withdraw it, he couldn't,
because of the suction. He didn't
even whimper, while being rescued
and the firemen shook hands with
him and called him a game little
kid" But McCluskey Sr. happened
along and Davey's reward was diff
ferent than the Dutch boys.

as Correspondent
in Divorce Action

NEWARK, N. 1.-THE ancient and
honorable game Of golf is "corespon-
dent" In a divorce suit filed by Mrs.
Rachel B. Hayward of Montclair,
against Sterling p. Hayward.
In affidavits filed with Vice Chan
cellor Fielder Thursday, Mrs. Hay
ward declared the game took SO
much Of her husbands leisure that
she scarcely ever saw him.
Mr.. Hayward's answer denies golf
is responsible for their marital DIFF
ficulties, which he attributes to DIFF
ficulties with Mrs. Hayward's rela-
tives and to her discovery that he
was not as wealthy as she had be-
lieved.

Potato Seed Plots
Are To Be Urged

AS a means Of stimulating interest
in growing potatoes of highest quality
and greatest freedom from disease, r,
G. Rose. plant extensionist at Univer-
sity Farm. has outlined plan to coun-
ty agents by which potato growers will
be urged to maintain seed plots.
One official plot to be selected for a
community. Mr.. Rose will be on hand
at planting time to assist the agent in
demonstrations in seed selection and
treatment. He will also visit the plots
at blossoming time, and when the crop
is ready to harvest he will make a,
third visit to check over results which.
will be discussed at the winter meet
ings.
''The seed plot" says Mr.. Rose,
"gives the grower opportunity to con-
centrate on small area. thus enabling
him to produce stock that is healthier
and more vigorous than he could OBJ
tain with the same effort on a larger
field At present there is strong indi-
cation that all growers who apply for
certifcation will be required to main
tain seed plot as. part of their. de-
velopment program"
AS it is necessary to limit the num-
Der of counties that can be assisted in
this work, county agents should lose no
time in getting in communication with
Mr. Rose

DEVICE DESIGNED TO CLEAN
SMALL GRAINS AT THRESHING.

{ A new device known as an .aspirator
has been designed by specialists Of the
Bureau of Markets, United States De-
partment Of Agriculture, for cleaning
wheat and other small grains by remov-
ing smut, dust, and dockage at the time
Of threshing. This device is attached
to the grain delivery spout, and tests
indicate that it removes approximately
one-thiru of what ordinarily is classed
as dockage. The use of this device will
enable farmers to keep for feed part
Of the seeds and other foreign material
ordinarily hauled to the elevator and
lost to the producer it also improves
the quality of grain by removing from
it large part Of the smut dust and
Objectionable foreign material A re-
cleaner, for attachment to the deck Of
threshing machines, also designed, gives
promise of being efficient it is said.
