A LESSON FROM LOUISIANA

The following editorial from recent
issue of the Franklin (La.) Banner
sets forth some very strong argu-
ments in favor Of elimination of free
range:
No one thing has contributed so
much to the financial, economic, and
social welfare of our parish as this
ordinance. Thousands of miles of
fences and gates have disappeared,
on which there Isl no further expense
or repair and cleaning. Hundreds of
good townspeople and farmers are
relieved of the worry, harrassment
and damage done by roaming fence
breaking cattle. All the vexing un-
neighboring disputes arising from cat
tie damage are no longer known.
Our roads are clean, and unob-
structed by sleeping cows, or stray
ing stock Travel on foot, by horse,
or car is safe by day or night. The
road bitches are no longer trampled
and the drainage clogged Follow
ing the passage of this law came other
changes just as important as the saw
ings on the yearly expense bills of
farmers and townpeople.
In the towns, gardens sprung up
where no gardens had been before.
Flowers bloomed where bare fences
and vacant space stood before.
Brushy fence lines gave way to clean
can rows and neighbors crops were
divisible only by the owners.
This ordinance affected not only
crops, but cattle as we'll The scrub
COW. steer or hog, was soon found
to be unworthy of its keep and it was
replaced by good, well-bred animals,
until today st. Mary parish has
higher average grade of livestock
than any other parish in the state.
The stock law has largely made this
possible. The poor family that once
had three scrub milk cows on open
range to get two gallons of poor milk.
now fences one COW or ties her with a
rope, to produce the same amount Of
good milk. =

SECRETARY HUGHES MADE THE
WORLD STAND UP AND TAKE
NOTICE

When Secretary Hughes read MS
proposal before the delegates to the
limitation Of armament conference IN
washington last Monday, he certain
ly hung up a lot of copy on the
hook in every newspaper Office in the
world. From a copy" standpoint It
probably is the most outstanding event
within the last century, except the
World War itself, especially in view
of the possibility of a protracted ses-
sion of the conference.
There is no country in the world
but what is interested in the confer
ence-if not materially, then sympa-
thetically or at least to the extent OF
curiosity. And as newspapers IN ev-
cry country are more or less imbued
with the desire to advise readers of
the happening of current events and
the trend of current thought, the con-
ference is being covered by prob
ably the greatest aggregation of news
paper talent which ever has convened
at one time and one place in all his
tory: not necessarily in numbers alone
though the correspondents are in
the hundreds but in brain-power, in
cluding the news writer, the statisti-
clan, the analyst, the strategist, the
technfcian, the rhetorician, the humor-
ist, the. idealist, the historian, the poll
tician, the financial expert, the pho
tographer. and others.
The conference will have newspaper
treatment from every possible angle
of human demand, because in its de-
alterations are involved at least some
of the interests of practically every
human being now on this planet or
who shall occupy it in untold genera
tions to come.
If the conference should conclude a
successful outcome, newspapers of to-
day will be treasured in years to come
for their historical value, and the oc-
casion is of so much Importance in
the mind of every reader that even
the smallest paper should have at
least a synopsis of the body's delib-
erations from day to day or from
week to week.-Publishers' Auxiliary.

In spite of decreased production. the
amount of Minnesota wool being mar

last year. when the state shipped more
than 100000 pounds to the national
farm bureau wool pool in ChicageerRe-
ports from the national federation
shows that this years pool is almost
double that Of 1920. Minnesota farm
bureau officials said. today.
In 1920. American wool producers
pooled 14.750.O0O pounds: so far this
year. 27.093. 466 pounds have been
pooled. according to farm bureau rec

up into garments for their families.
The farm bureau survey showed that

wool is being made up into clothing
which is to be sent back to the farm

"AlthOugh the wool market last year
was almost stagnant,'' says Il report

national wool pool has meant a dis

prices received by the national pool

MILLION DOLLARS
TAKEN BY FARMERS
Pledges to Equity Grain Growers Pool
for That Amount of Government
Loan Already Given

More than one million bushels OF
grain have already been pledged by
the farmers of four states and about
one million dollars of the War Fin
ance Corporation loan to the Equity
cooperative Exchange is already
taken up. AS the farmers learn that
they do not have to sell their grain
on the present disastrously low mar
aet, the demand for information and
for share in tile loan is steadily in
creasing. Thirty seven field men are
at work in Minnesota, North Dakota,
South Dakota and Montana and can
hardly keep up with the requests for
literature and contracts. g
4 representative of the Pool work
ing at Veblen, S. D., pledged over
5000 bushels in two days from indi-
vidual farmers. Work has just start
ed in Cavalier county, where the first
farmer to pool his grain was E. L.
Haven, who pledged 1900 bushels.
From Raymond, Mont, a field man Sc
cured pledges from seven farmers to-
falling $500 bushels Oh Oct. Goth.
Charles Sheets, of I1aA1oure county
has pledged his entire 1920-21 crop
over. 10000 bushels. OF Is farmers
called on at Minneota, Mimi. in Vel
low Medicine county, ~ pledged their
total wheat crop of 1850 bushels. The
small Minnesota farms have produced
d large amount of wheat and it is eX-
1,ected that most of it will go into the
pool to help the Northwestern farmer,
who must have immediate action or
sell their grain at a loss. =,
RuSinncc Mon Rani. Pool
Bankers and business men of the
Northwest are fully alive to the mar
Aeting crisis that faces the farmers
who must have money to pay their OBJ
LEGATIONS. and are helping the farmers
10 meet this crisis by cooperating
with them in pooling their grain. The
sentiment is expressed in letter from
g. F. Peterson, cashier of the Farmers
Bank at Ray, who wrote:
1.-The farmers are holding their
grain and would welcome all oppor-
tunity to join the pool
This is one of score OF such let
GERS received by the organization Off
see of the Equity at Fargo, according
10 3. H. Critchfield, Field Manager of
+he Pool. Business men have awak-
ened to the fact that the Pool will
bring a big amount of government
money into the territory and at the
same time protect the farmer from be-
ing forced to sell at present prices.
With the farmer, they have learned,
says Mr.. Critchtic!d that the Equity
Grain Growers PoOi affords Il genuine
storage. prevents dumping the wheat
on the market and keeps within the
etatn and in tho f,..nn7S' hands tho
money his crop should bring.

Surveys are now being made by

BANKERS MEET TO
STUDY CREDIT LAW
mo Red Tas~ About It, War Fin
ance Officials Tells Farm, Loan
CUltfeS~asce

The billion dollar farm credit law
authorizing the United States govern
ment'S War FinanCe corporation to
loan money for agricultural purposes
was passed 'tO relieve country bank
ers of the necessity of compelling
farmers to sell their products at prices
which will not even pay their debts,
and to permit farmers to buy young
SveStOck.'
That was the explanation of the
lew federal credit law, made by men,
bers of the War Finance corpora
tons northwest agricultural commit
tee, to country bankers at a confer
ence in, Minneapolis last weeks called
to study methods of obtaining loans
nnder the new law.
The speakers at the conference ems
phasized the fact that the federal loan
does not mean easy money! 1t does
not provide for additional credit to
farmers except >1npon adequate securi-
ty:; and speakers indicated that the
War Finance corporation will be more
liberal with loans to permit the pur.
chase Of. livestock to consume the
cheap feed now on farms in the north
west, than with loans for most other
purposes. sag, -. y.
The greatest benefit Of the agricul:
tural credit act to the farmers, it was
said, will come as result of the fin
ancial relief to country banks, by en-
abling them to- renew loans instead OF
being compelled to insist on iquida-
ton. Loans amounting to $500, 600
have been approved for Minnesota and
the Dakotas BY the Washington office
Of the War Finance corporation.
M. O. Grangaard, secretary of the
northwest committee of the corpora
ton, said that applications were be
ing approved in Washington within a
week after they left Minneapolis.
"The whole process has been sim
plltied as much as possible" he said.
