RUsK SHOULD NOT LAG

consin within the next five years.
What will this mean as an adyer-
tisement to buyers from all over the
United States? This will mean more
buyers, better prices, for our cattle
and finally, better health for our
selves.
Rusk county already has $40 sign
ers to the petition for a county wide
L. b. clean up. Since July first the
state requires the signatures of 60
per cent of the farmers of the county
before a county wide test will be car
ried on
When will this test be put through :?
Not before next year, because seven
or eight counties are ahead of us and
the appropriations are not great
enough to do the work on short notice.
Barron and Lincoln counties have
completed their tests and Washburn
county has almost finished the game.
Can Rusk county afford to lag benin
on this program? Write or call on
your county agent and tell him you
want to sign the L. B. petition. BE

PREDICTS HIGHER
PRICE FOR WHEAT
Harding Says Relief for Farmer
Should Be Result of Rail
Tariff Reduction.
EUROPE'S NEED LARGE
Unusual Export Trade Justifies Hope
That Markets Will For Some
Time Be Decidedly Toward
Better Prices.

WashingtOn-StrOng hope for bet
ter prices in the agricultural markets
is justified by reductions in the rail
road rates on grain for export, already
in effect and proposed, according to a
statement issued at the White House.
Recent reductions in the export rate
on grains between Chicago and New
York, the statement said, will be fol-
lowed by sweeping revisions of grain
rates generally, including those from
Mississippi river points and on the
lines to the gulf. in order that the en-
tire agricultural interest may share
fully in the benefits.
Europe's Needs Unusual.
In general" the statement con-
tinued, advances in freight costs are
passed on to the consumer by adding
them to the selling price. But in
grains, whose domestic price is do
minated by the foreign price Of the ex-
ported surplus, the producer suffers
when rates go up and benefits when
they go down. Therefore, though the
exports represent a minor share Of
the total grain production, the lower
ing of export rates affects the entire
crop.
"These reductions of rates, together
with the arrangements for financial as
sistance to export trade and the as
surance that Europe is going to need
extraordinary quantities Of American
foodstuffs, constitute altogether a JUS
OF
deney in the agricultural mark ts will
for some time be decidedly toward bet
ter PRICES"
Hoover Demanded Reductions.
Reductions of transportation rates
on grain for export was described as
lone Of the most important measures
the administration has initiated for
the relief Of agriculture and Of gen
eral industrial conditions" The re.
auctions, it was explained, were in
sisted on by Secretary Hoover as q
concession to the agricultural inter-
ssts, when, on behalf Of President
Harding, he negotiated with the car
rers the basis for settlement Of their
claims against the government, groW-
ing out of Federal control.
This was made the basis Of the
adjustment" the statement continued,
"the railroads relinquishing their So
called labor inefficiency claims and
undertaking to inaugurate reductions
in the export grain rates, while the adj
rninistration undertook to assist them
by securing early settlement Of their
claims against the government"
