KNIFE WEEDERS
New Model e1' Is Now Ready


Twenty-one years ago. Mr.. Clayton
lived on a farm and made his first
knife weeder. It had wooden run
ners, the knives were hard to adjust,
it was heavy and pulled hard, but it
did good work. Every year that he
stayed on the farm he made a new
model, aiming to decrease the draft,
increase the strength and decrease
the weight, and make all adjustments
simple and easy. Steel runners re-
placed the wooden runners, and from
year to year important improvements
were placed on the machine, mate
rally increasing its efficiency and
value. While on the farm, Mr.. Clay
ton worked up quite a business max
ing these machines and selling them
to his neighborS. After he. left the
farm he still continued to make a
new model every year, until he has
now perfected his "New Model 21''
for the coming season. This new
model is a mighty fine machine for
killing weeds and saving moisture in
any listed field, and it would hardly
seem possible that any further i'm
provements could be made upon it,
THE Weeder Factory, Hill City,
Kan.," is where this machine is now
made, and any farmer, within driv-
ing distance of the factory, can easily
take his car to Hill City and haul one
home. They are so easily taken apart
that two of the double-row machines
are frequently hauled in Ford car.
The one-row machine weighs 95
pounds, the two-row $50 pounds, and
the three-row $50 pounds. The one
row machine sells for $50, the two
row for $50, and the three-row for
$50. These prices are for machines
without eveners, and with 4-foot side
knives. Longer knives can be fur-
nished as extras, and also eveners, if
desired. Most farmers have all the
eveners that are necessary for these
machines. All of the older models
will be discontinued after this sea-
son. Two-row machines of last year s
model may still be had, while they
last, at $500 to $1,000 less than the
above prices.

AMERICAN FARMERS FORM MA.
TIONAL COOPERATIVE
GRAIN MARKETING
PLANS

The plan OF the grain marketing
Committee Of 17',>was adopted un-
animously by the different farmers
organizations of the twenty-five lead
ing grain growing states, at a meet
ing held in Chicago, April .6-s
This puts every farmers organiza-
tion in the United States behind the
plan and means that the farmers of
America have taken the first step to-
ward handling their own grain from
the time it leaves the farm until it
reaches the manufacturer. The ex-
port grain will be handled by farmers
until it reaches the buyers in other
countries.
Discussion of the plan at the Chi
cage conference lastetd two days. The
point on which there was difference
of opinion was that of pooling grain.
A part Of the delegates believed pool
ing Of grain OF all members should be
made compulsory. Other delegates
believed grain growers should be
given the option Of selling direct to
the local elevator company or of pool
ing. The compulsory pooling amend
ment was lost by vote of 81 to SO.
Those who had favored compulsory
pooling then voted for the plan, and
1t was adopted unanimously.
The United Grain Growers, Inc, is
the name adopted for the new organ
ization. 1t will be the largest farm
ers' business enterprise in the world
and its effect viii be felt in every
grain growing community in the
United States, for it is planned to ask
the farmers in every community
where surplus of grain is grown to
join.
u This will mean that there must be a
cooperative farmers elevator in
every community. 1t is recommended
that the grain growers lease or buy
elevators, now owned and operated as
private enterprises, in towns where
there are no cooperative elevators at
the present time No elevator, not
truly cooperative, can deal with the
United Grain Growers, Inc.
Farmers may have advantage of
the new plan by signing up for men,
bership. The fee will be $40, which
will entitle the grower to lifetime
membership. All farmers joining
viii sign contracts, agreeing to de-
E liver all their surplus grain to the
new concern for a period of five
years
The new enterprise will be govern
ed by a board of twenty-one farmer
directors, selected from twelve dis
tricts in the grain growing section of
the United States
The State of Kansas is district No.
5, and has two members on the board
of directors. The two directors chosen
from this district are R. C. Obrecht,
Topeka, of the Kansas Farmers
Union, and H. W. Avery, Wakefield,
member of the state board of agricul-
ture and the state farm bureau. Both
OF these men were delegates to the
ratification conference.
Kansas had six other delegates at
the ratification conference. They are
F. o. Peterson, Burdick, Kansas State

The Y. W. c. A. Cabinet Training
Conference at Manhattan
Kansas. April $40. 1921


The Misses Letha Best, Goldie
Cummings, Jennie Wagner and
Gladys Baird were the Normal dele
gates to this important conference.
At this time throughout our coun-
try there is rising tide of discussion
going on between this Association
and the reactionary forces of capital,
which resents the voice of woman
touching our industrial relations.
1t can be said broadly that woman
is asserting and spiritedly maintain
ing her claims in the world of indus
try. She has arrived in the labor
world and she will not retreat.
Society needs her as moral force in
our advancing civilization. The Grim
inal and selfish forces are against her
but she will win out in Gods own
good time.
On Friday at Manhattan, the dis
cussion of the topic "World Fellow
ship by Caroline Goforth, Field Stu
dent Secretary, was an interesting
number on the program.
On Saturday p. M, woman in In

that the strike was a frost. It later turned out true.
 Ed and I decided it would be no use going to Bear river. White river and the Panama looked good to us. We had some old British maps of the Territory and decided to go up the head of the Takhin to the glacier and cross over the devide and along over the interior to the district around the head of the Panama.
 HAD ONLY ONE DOG
 "One dog was all we had been able to secure When we had made our way up the steep waters of the Takhin and arrived at the glacier, we made camp for few days, unloaded the sup plies and grub from the loaded boat to sled, and after hiding the boat went up the glacier and through to what was afterwards known as the Chisana. We were within twenty miles of it.
 we were probably the first white men who had gone over that country. It was long and difficult way to go, but we were already to the Takhin, had our outfits, so thought it feasible We had about 700 pounds of supplies when we started and had to help the dog haul them along uearly all the way. Eventually the snow played out and we had to leave our sled and pack what we took on our back.
 FOUND GOLD SCARCE.
 "We prospected along the creeks of the Chisana, found some placer gold, but in every instance struck boulders before we had sunk our shaft very far Having found little gold, but nothing to amount to anything, we headed out late in the summer, got to where we left our sled then back to the boat on the Takhin and made the voyage in the little boat as far as Ketchikan.
 "A couple of our most exciting ex- perlenceso took place on this voyage from the Takhin to Ketchikan. While coming down Lynn Canal, beating a. gainst head wind trying to make St. Johns Harbor, the breeze began to freshen, and gradually grew stronger. When we were just past Berners Bay, in mid chanel, the wind got so strong we had to lower the peak Ed remov- ed the spirit, but found after he had it out that he had used the peak halyard back in camp and had forgotten to re- place it.
 AT THE MERCY OF A STORM
 That ended any chance of making St. Johns harbor and it looked very
