FARMERS LOSE GAINS

Beef cattle on farms lost in evar
age value per head from January
1919, to January /. 1921, all tina,
they gained during the participation
of the United States in the world
war and more than half as much
again. according to the bureau OF
crop estimates. United States depart.
! ment of agriculture. The loss oc.
CURED mostly in 1920. This has
been established beyond doubt by the
recent annual investigation OF prices
of farm animals per head made by
the bureau. The average price per
head, all ages, of cattle other than
milk cows was $500 in 1917,
$44.22 in 1919 and $31.41 in 1921.
On January L. last var. the farm
price was $4.5l below that of 1917
some months belo,c this country de-
clared war.
In the case OF swine Oh farms. the
average price per head. all ages, de-
clined in the two years 1919 and
1920. IS per Gene Of the gain in
1917 and 1918, and two-thirds of
the decline was in 1920.
From 1916 to 1919. the average
farm value OF the product OF corn
per acre increased from $21.67 to
$3S.54. The corn crop of 1920, tax
ing the average value OF the product
OF one acre, fell to 5000. and this
drop not only wiped out the gain OF
the preceding three years but per-
ceptibly exceeded it. The commonly
used percentage of decline since the
break in price began. fails to dis
cover this fact. because a percentage
of define from higher number is
not comparable with a percentage of
gain during the preceding years.
which is based on comparatively
low number.

Riddick'S Bill
Favor Of Farmers
Minneapolis Tribune.)

Grain farmers will be enabled to
hold their crops for higher prices by
receiving for them upon delivery ia
the local elevator negotiable paper
which may Immediately be turned
into cash. il bill introduced bv
Representative Carl w. Riddick of
Montana. the only member of con-
gress whose sole avocation is farm
Ing, is enacted into law.
Under my BILL said Mr.. Riddick.
III the price level OF grain is too
low, because of glut on the mar
ket, farmers may organize and with
hOid their products so as to permit
the natural law OF supply and de-
mand to bring prices to a more eu,lit-
able level. based upon world offer
lngs and consumrtive demands. NV
bill provides
First. Tor clear definition of the
warehouse receipt as negotiable in
strument subject to the same restric-
TONS as other negotiable instruments,
and protecting the rights of purchas-
ers as such.
Second. that grain deposited in
local warehouses may be deliverable
at the local warehouse or any ware
house at any terminal point.
Third that the Warehouseman
may move grain deposited in his
country warehouse to warehouse
in any termina market for the pur-
pose of delivery upon the payment
of accrued charges.
Fourth. for the protection of the
holder OF the certificate and of the
depOs1tor OF the grain in all cases.
Under my bill individual farm
ers at country stations are given tho
same marketing advantages as are
now enjoyed by the grain trade il
which the use of terminal warehouse
receipts is a common and approved
custom. The Importance of this may
be seen when it is remembered that
the licensed elevator capacity Of the
country elevators is 100000
bushels, of the mill elevators 15o.-
100000 bushels.

MY BLACK PONY AND ME-


Written by Mrs. Leo Rodman.)
Out on the lonely prairie, breathing
the cool night air,
Watching the white moon circle
through the silvery stars so fair
Alone with the sleeping cattle and
thoughts of the used-to-be
No man or filly to tempt us, my lit
tie black pony and me.
My little black horse was happy till
he met filly one day
Who swore to forever stick by him
and afterward galloped away.
SO you see there is something that
binds us, that's why we
Will always he banking together
MI little black pony and me.
My lite back horse was a dreamer,
ove-making to-. his time.
But he didn't provide her fodder for
the days of snow and rain.
So when the filly got hungry she
chose a rich one, of course.
So now there's a mutual feeling be-
tween me ana my little black
horse.
We tell each other our stories, the
tales that are now SO blue,
But We never say aught against them
although they proved untrue.
For we know that's fair who won
them were better far than We,
So we're chewing the weeds of sill
enemy little black pony and
me.
Ii YOU have lost sweetheart. don't
kick and buck and swear,
But shake the duss of the city and
strike for the open air;
Striek for the boundless prairie
where the coyotes howl with glee.
For the city is only q pitfall for my
little black pony and me.
