Gr0Uers WiU HdUe Control
 Of Wheat Inside Six Months

flour mills are idle and local and terminal elevators are nearly empty. The wheat grower feels that he has practically accomplished what seemed at first impossible, and is now en- couraged to continue withholding his wheat from market in order that a price which is fair and just shall be paid him for his labor and money in vested"
 MT. McGreevy objects to the use of the term wheat strike" in refer ring to the action of the wheat grow. CTS.
 Our growers are not striking as is commonly meant by the term" he said We are still sowing and at. tending to the many arduous duties of the farm. We are only holding our wheat to be marketed at any time the producer may think it at fair price. "
 The organization was formed about year and half ago in southern Kan, sas and northern Oklahoma. MT. A. Slaughter of Manchester, Okla, was the originator and early promoter. Ac. cording to it's promoters its growth in the first six months was slow but in the last few months it has been rapid until the membership has spread to every wheat growing country in the four states organized
 The four states now organized (Ne, braska, Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas) in which a membership of 100000 is claimed, have 22O,8O6 wheat growers according to Kansas board of agricul ture statistics
 Forty-five per cent of growers are members of the association, according to this. Mr McGreevy's statement is that about 40 per cent of growers in the wheat sections of the states now organized as members.
 The four states produced this year 232 ,955,000 bushels out of the total
The Cordova daily times., 1921-01-12
r United States of 75O,64s,0 ,0OC

for United States of 75O,64S,OOO bushels.
 The addition of Minnesota, North Dakota and South Dakota would bring the production up to 359,003,0 ,000 bushels or slightly less than one half that of the entire united States.
 The Kansas state board of agricul- ture recently issued a report on the wheat in farmers hands In Kansas 1t says;
 This years Kansas wheat crop amounted approximately to 145 5,000,- 900 bushels, according to a prelimin- ary report. Growers now estimate that of the total production 53.4 per cent, or 77,46,727 bushels, is still in the farmers hands. At about the same date last year 35.5 per cent. or 50,000,000 bushels was in possession of producers, while in 1918, Il per cent, or 10,000,O00 bushels, was re- ported as held by growers.
 Chief among the reasons given for the unusually large amount of wheat in farmers hands are the drastic drop in price and the car shortage. Re ports indicate that probably 47 per cent of the wheat unsold would have been marketed early had cars been available, but that now wheat is be ing held mainly in hopes of such ar upturn in price as will return a pro fit-an exercise of business judgment which should be as free from criti cism or excite no more comment than the action of say, a haberdasher who declines to sell hats costing $10 fol which his customer offers $5"

WICHITA, Kan, Jan. 12 (by Asso- ciated Press).-The Wheat Growers Association of America, which has been conducting a campaign to induce growers to withhold their wheat from the market until prices are high CT, plans to have midwestern states so well organized within the next six months that the growers will be able to control the price paid for the 1921 wheat crop, according to W.

 Not only the wheat growers of our association but the wheat growers in general are refusing to sell any wheat at present prices except in cases where financial conditions force the sale. For more than thirty years we have withheld our wheat from the market until now a large number of

the country, she wants to be renominated.
The oklahoma republican politicians don't
Ike her too we'll. she hasn't been able TO
feed enough patronage to them, "to get any

republicans down IN Oklahoma who are
mighty hungry" Well, the politicians have

Reckless AdUiCe

when trying to help give us
something positive, give US somo-
thing we can rely upon.
Doctors do moro noble service
to humanity, perhaps, than any
other group OF men. We depend
upon them when it's life or death,
we believe In their knowledge and
ability and take their advice inn
plicitly. and yet, how doctors do
differ in their treatment of tha
same diseased
or course. IN the beginning all
was experimentation, but after the
best treatment 10 found or the
safest cure, IL looks like all doc
tors would adopt that proven
method. The trouble is, obviously,
they do not agree. We have known
the same eye trouble treated by
different doctors, one with an ice
bag and one with "A hot-water bag
Surely the result could not be the
same, and In this particular case
sadly was not, and surely expert
ence should tell which was better,
and the better method forever
after used.
IL the men in these callings real
lied how dependent we are upon
them, how we trust them, how we
look to them TO tell us what to do,
they would try harder to perfect
their knowledge and their skill, 40
there would be fewer mistakes,
fewer doubts. fewer regrets.
Preaching is the same. Is 1t any
wonder that our Christian religion
moves SO slowly among the heather
and also among our own people
Isn't II because we preach there
are so many means of approach,
each claiming our road little bet
ter, little surer, IL not the only
way? This S. so strikingly impos-
sible even a heaten can see the un-
truth and goes on worshiping his
own god in his same benighted
form.
The world wants positive knowl-
edge and advice as far as man can
make II. Giving advice, or medi-
cine. recklessly, Is wrong.
