WANT u. S. PACKING PLANTS
Uruguay Representatives Propose
South American appropriation
of Plants.

Montevideo, Uruguay.-A proposal
that the governments of Uruguay,
Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay take
over by appropriation the packing
houses in those countries has been
made by a committee of the Urugua-
van house Of representatives. Most
of the packing houses in those coun-
tries are controlled by foreign capital,
a large part of which is North Amer
lean.
1t is estimated that the total cost
of such an undertaking would be over
$100,000,000 and that the cost in
Uruguay alone would be $22,000,0O0.
The committee recommended that a
convention Of delegates of the four
South American countries be held to
arrange joint action and suggested the
issuance of domestic and foreignsloans
to raise the funds necessary to acquire
the packing houses.
1t is proposed that the establish
ments be placed under the control of
directors comprising cattle men and
government officials in the respective
countries Another government direc-
.Storate would control the marketing of
the products abroad and fix prices.

TOWN HAS PUREBREDs ONLY
Ohio Township is 100 Per Cent on
Right Side-No Grade or Scrub
Sires to Be Found.

The township Of Jackson, in Hardin
county, Ohio, is entirely free from
grade and scrub sires. In notifying
the United States Department of Agri-
culture of this fact, Prof. John w.
Wuichet of the Ohio agricultural ex-
tension service, adds, "This is the first
township which has come to our atten-
ton that we feel satisfied is 100 per
cent on the right side. No sire was
considered purebred unless it could be
proved that its sire and dam were
registered"
The survey of sires included the
principal classes of live stock, except
poultry, and was made for advance.
credit by a student in the college Of
agriculture. The survey showed that
the township included 165 farms, on
which were q purebred boars, 26
purebred rams, 6 purebred beef bulls,
3 purebred dairy bulls, and 2 purebred
stations. No grade or scrub sires of
any. kind were found in the township.

SPRAY FOR ALFALFA WEEvlL
Increased Production Of one-Half Ton
to Acre Secured by Application
of Arsenate.

The county agent leader in Utah
reporting to the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture says the spray de-
veloped by the Office of cereal and for
age insect investigations, bureau of en-
tomology, in the department has in
creased the production of the sprayed
over the unsprayed alfalfa fields by an
average of one-half ton to the acre.
This spray is made of two to two and
one-half pounds of lead ~arsenate or
calcium a~rsenate to 100 gallons of wa
ter. 1t is applied in q fine mist with a
power sprager at the rate of 80 to 100
gallons to the acre. The state leader
says 351 farms We're included in the
demonstration, which covered 10,113
acres. It is estimated the saving eff
fected by this form of alfalfa control
amounted to S69,967.

COMMUNICATION.
editor Farmers Press: =

Editor Farmers Press
The two representatives of the u.
S. Dept. of Agriculture who are
working in this county locating and
%eradicating common barberry bushes
that spread stem rust of wheat. re-.
port that they are very we'll pleased
with the cooperation the people of
the county r giving them. The
barberry bush which was on display
at the fair for demonstration pur.
poses was viewed by many who are
interested in this work. Those who
did not know what connection this
bush has with wheat rust had an am
pie opportunity to have this fact ex-
planned in details. The men making
the farm to farm survey have found
in many instances that the owners of
shrubbery are unable to indemnity
bushes in their own yards. Others
think that there is a penalty for hav-
ing barberry bushes in their yards
and are rather skeptical about having
their yard searched for this pest. The
farmers suffers enough of a penalty
by having these bushes growing near
big fields and further penalty will
not be inflicted by the government.
The barberry is a small, erect spiny
shurb. never found growing wild in
North Dakota. The leaves are small
and have a fine sawtooth edge. The
spines are in a group usually three in
a place, some times the bushes con-
tain berries. These are green in the
spring turning to a reddish color in
the summer or fall. Residents of
this county who have bushes that re-
semble this description are asked to
send a small sample for indentifca.
tion to A. Severson at Milton, N. D.
There may be some bushes growing
in the yard or garden that have not
been observed or are in out of the
way places. These should be examin.
ed at once and reported if they cor
respond to the above description. The
hearty cooperation of the people is
asked by these men to make this
campaign as effective az possible.

NEEDED

The Grain Dealers National asso-
citation is at least not fearful of big
jobs. 1t is setting out determinedly
to convince farmers that the present
marketing system is the heir of all
the ages, the best that the mind of
man could conceive. 1t proposes to
prove this to farmers. 1t declares:
The grain dealers are char ged
with responsibility for price iuc.
tuations that are and can only be
the result of the operation of the
law of supply and demand.
But if the grain men are really to
educate, z they ought to leave bare
assertions and get down to facts.
How do they reconcile with their
above assertion the fact that. as soon
as gambling was resumed. or July Is
1920. the price of wheat began drop.
ping, tho the world demand remained
as strong as ever, and for much al
the 1920 crop Europe. 10 spite of the
low prices paid farmers, actually
paid more than it did in 1919?
Say the grain men again:
The methods of t%ransacting the
grain business have been grossly
misrepresented.
Is it misrepresented to point out
that in Denmark, where they dom
have a gambling marketing system,
the spread between producer ant
consumer is only 30 cents. while il
the United States. where there is
gambling marketing system, it is al,
most rs cents? And how does thu

TT is NOT LOST.

Where is the improved marketing
system the Nonpartisan League
promised four years ago?-The Forum
1t is still in embryo. The mill and
elevator at Grand Forks are now half
completed. The state bank that was
to have financed them is desperately
battling for life. The farmers who
have been fighting for long years for
a better system were robbed more
atrociously last year than ever before
But everybody knows why the mill
and elevator are half completed. Ev-
erybody knows why the bank is tied
up. It is because Wall Street has
boycotted North Dakota bonds. 1t is
not because the bonds are not good
they have back of them a decision of
the Uni ted States Supreme Court and
the opinion of one of the best bond
attorneys in the United States. Wall
Street boycotts them because the
purpose Of the North Dakota program
is to break Wall Streets control of
the marketing system of the United
States.
Wall Street isn't merely against
the North Dakota program. 1t ia
again st the Farm Bureau and the u.
S. Grain Growers as we'll. It is
against any program that seeks to
break the Wall Street control Of the
marketing system. Undoubtedly the
farmers joining the U. S. Grain
Growers will find Wall Street boy.
cotting the debenture bonds of the
Farmers Finance corporation, just as
it boycots the bonds of the state of
North Dakota, and for exactly the
same reason: Wall Street controls
the marketing system of the United
States and profits enormously from
that control, and will not relinquish
that control without the bitterest
kind of fight.
The On i tad States Grain Growers
will meet with exactly the same ex-
perience as toe Nonpartisa al League.
There will be delays and disappoint-
ments If farmers grow weary in well
doing, if because Of the boycott OF
Wall Street they give up their plans
and become the un~protesting slaves
of Wall street, then they don't de.
serve the name Of men. But they
have brains and they have courage
and they have endurance. The enemy
isn't likely to find farmers turning
around and voting for the enemy just
because the enemy has succeeded in
delaying the farmers plans and dis
appointing for a time their purpose
