Established Markets and Fair
" Prices Not Left to Chance
or Luck

The one big way this organization
will help establish the grain indus
try is by contracting ahead with
millers and other big users for a
years grain supply. But the U. s:
Grain Growers, Inc, can only do
this if it, in turn, has full assurance
that you will market your grain
through this national cooperative
selling organization.
When you join this organization,
you are asked to agree to deliver
your grain-except that used on
the farm or sold locally for feed or
seed, or otherwise sold with the ap-
proval of. the association-to the
national association, through your
local elevator, for five years. The

The plan simply nationalizes the
present system of marketing
through local cooperative eleva-
tors. You can sell your grain un-
der either Of four options direct
to the local cooperative elevator
consignment-pool one-third or the
exportable surplus of the wheat
crop-or 100 per cent pool.
You run no risk in making this
pledge. No one can make a profit
in which you do not share. All of
the officers are members and sell
their grain in the self-same way.

Before close this article I wish to
mention the different modes by
which people travel, some with a
team of burros and spring wagon,
men on horseback with pack horse
carrying their supplies, other men
walking and carrying their belong
ings on their backs, others walking
with one pack horse carrying their
luggage. One old man In particular
had all his possessions in a child's
wagon pulling it after him.
Another thing I wish to mention
are the pets people take with them.
Dogs lead, then come cats, monkeys,
parrots and canary birds, and one
family had rack built on the run
ming board which contained a goat to
supply milk for their baby. We often
saw cars with goats on them.

ARE USING MORE TRACTORS
Dickinson Ranks Third in State In
Number

"That Kansas farmers are coming
to a fuller realization Of the labor saw
ing and time conserving qualities Of
the tractor is suggested by the re-
turns of assessors to the State Board
Of Agriculture" says report issued
today by ]. G. Mohler, secretary.
On March 1, 1921, 19,347 trac-
tors were reported on Kansas farms,
an increase of 4,977 during the
year. Tractors have sprung into use
almost over night, increasing in num-
beers almost 500 per cent in Kansas
since 1915.
while the increase was slightly
less in numbers during the past year
and amounts to 1873 per cent COM
pared with 65.5 per cent increase in
the year 1920 over 1919, the figures
inlicate that the tractor continues to
gain in popularity" said Secretary
Mohler.
This year Sumner county leads in
the number of tractors on farms, re-
porting a total Of 701, closely follow
ed by Mcpherson with 697. Dick
inson is third with 643 and Sedgwick
fourth with SIT. Each Of these coun-
ties, as well as six others, made a
gain during the year Of more than
100. Nine Of the ten counties show
ing gains of more than 100 each are
located I'm the central third of Kansas,
while one, Graham, with a gain OF
1O1 is in the northwest where wheat
growing has made large strides in late
years. All counties except one hav-
ing more than 300 tractors on farms
are also in the central third OF the
state and in fact every county but
one in the so-ealled wheat belt has
more than 100 tractors each.
