The Farm and
The Farmer
By William r. Sanborn

1t being always darkest just before
dawn" we may reasonably hope for
an upturn in prices of grain and live
stock. AS to grain the lower it goes
the smaller the support. apparently
Present low prices are nothing short
of a national calamity.
Think of corn at 80 cents and oats
at 20 cents at western Iowa points,
these being prevailing bid prices at
country shipping stations. The oats
growers of the northwest are in a
still worse plight, except for local con-
sumption, because of freight rates to
eastern consuming markets, while
western Canada farmers can not get
freight charges out of oats, should
they attempt to ship them into this
country, unless Canadian roads should
cut rates for the emergency. AS a
matter of fact they cannot now reach
their own eastern points and get a
nickel a bushel for themselves at ter
minals. Eastern Canadian oats rails
ers are in little better shape.
Five Year Selling Contracts
A number Of wheat growers or
ganizations in the west have sale con-
tracts running for seven years with
their members, and it is expected that
these will now be transferred to the
farm bureau sales agency, for the
most part.
Tho new growers contract of the
American farm bureau is preten-
tious document of 5000 words or
about four solid columns of this paper.

quantity, at that. About the same
time they served a baked potato at
"only 40 CENTS" for the biggest grown.
This hotel has been farm federation
headquarters during all the farm bu-
reau meetings and mayhap the farm
ers who happened to sample their bills
of fare kicked" At all events their
dining room charges have been cut
materially.
The fact is that the public commits
sioner on H. C. L. has been telling all
classes Of Chicago restaurants just
where he believes they are prodteer-
ing. More than that he has been
printing their prices and then citing
their costs of supplies in the whole
sale markets. In numerous instances
this has resulted in cuts of as much
as SO per cent, also in carry your
lunch campaign" which has been
effective in the hurry-up Loop eateries.
Sheep and Lambs, $1.25 a Pair
Harry Gilbert tells of a farm sale
which a likely bunch of ewes were
old lambs at side How much did
the pairs bring?" we asked. Having
made our guess we found that we
were away out of line, for these ewes
actually sold at $1.25, the lambs. OF
course, being thrown in. Is it any
wonder that farmers are trying to find
a way out and are studying all phases
of cooperation?
Sheep Man Borrows Money
Mr.. Gilbert tells of country banker
within fifty miles of Richmond, who
had helped a farmer to finance a
flock of 1000 sheep, when prices were
up and the outlook rosy. When the
sheep paper came due the man mott
fled his banker that it must be re
newed; that sheep were on the bar
gain counter and he must hold on
longer The farmer was called into
the bank and urged to settle. Pres
emily the farmer looked the banker in
the eye and asked, do you want tc
get into the sheep business, john
John thought moment and wondered
what the bank would do with 1,O0O
sheep and as many lambs, took up a
pad of notes and began writing. How
long do you want this money for
JIM Jim came back promptly six
months" and it was so arranged

Some of the ablest lawyers obtainable
have framed these contracts and other
regulatory matter to be used by the
various departments of the marketing
and financing organization, all at a
proportionate expense. OF course. me
pith of the whole matter, so far as
the farmer is concerned, is that he
is to sign for five years and the sign
ing of this contract is considered to
be an application for membership IN
the U. S. Grain Growers association,
this entailing a membership or init1a-
ton fee of $40 to make it complete.
This contract also applies TO tenant
farmers and will be transferable to
the new man taking the land, If de-
sired.
Wool Growers Meetings.
The first of series of meetings to
complete arrangements for the hand
ling of the Indiana 1921 wool clip will
be held at Lafayette on Monday, April
Is, this to be followed by meetings at
Terre Haute on the 18th; Indianapolis
on the Goth, and FIT Wayne April 81.
At the meeting of wool growers held
at Indianapolis in February it was ad-
vised that Indiana wool pools be
Growers association, and the wool be
shipped to their warehouse at Colum-
bus. This matter will now be settled.
Other meetings may be held else
where later but no dates have so far
reached us. Claude Harper. Indiana
member of the National wool commit
tee will be present at all meetings, as
will j. H. Walker of the Ohio associa
ton. The American Farm bureau also
will be represented. We hope the
Richmond district will be represented
by one or more important growers at
some of these meetings. The expert
ence will at least be educational, al
4 though the average wool grower is not
SO lacking in education" as in money
for his 1920 pooled clip.
Clark County Farm Bureau.
The Clark county farm bureau has
just reported that the county has been
completely organized with 610 mem
bers at IS each. This gives the state
federation 1920 and provides a fund
of $3.50 for use in the various town
ships this year. They report growth
in the township organizations RICH,
along, since the 610 membership can
vass was completed. Of the 81 ,220 re
mitted to support the state federation
at indianapolis, 1905 will be contribut
ed toward paying the expenses of the
American Farm Bureau at Chicago.
With Free Bread and Butter.
Now that wheat is on pre-war
basis and -four drug on the market
it is refreshing to note that Chicago
hotel having five dining rooms is ad
vertising bread and butter included
Time was when that hotel made a
bread and butter charge Of 20 cents
for wartime order; mighty limited

AFTER CONFERENCE

George To-day

London, Nov. 5 (By the Associated
Press Sir James Craig, the Ulster

OF an invitation received to-day. Sir

EXTRA GUARD
AGAIN ON DUTY
AT Continued Hearing on
Sacco-Vanzetti
Petition
OFFICERS ARMED
WITH REPEATERS
Council for Men Resumed
Arguments at
Dedham

Dedham, Mass, Nov. 5.-The hearing
before Judge Webster Thayer Of the
superior court on petitions Of new
trial of Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo
yanzetti was continued at the court
house here to-day. Counsel for the men,
who were convicted by jury Of mur-
der in the first degree for double kill
ing in connection with payroll rob
berry at South Braintree in April. 1890,
resumed the arguments in their behalf
begun last Saturday
The extra guard Of state eonstab-
ulary and state, county and local po-
lice was again on duty. Officers armed
with repeating rifles and side arms pa
trolled the vicinity Of the courthouse
and searched all persons who entered.
Fred II Moore, of counsel for the de-
fense. cited what he said were author
tiles to permit the setting aside Of a
Jury verdict on the grounds of in
sufficient evidence. Mr.. Moore said
that the bulk Of the cases he cited
were beyond the jurisdiction Of Massa-
oausetts but said be could show that
the supreme court OF Massachusetts
had recognized the right to set aside a
jury verdict. The court said he par
ticularly desired instances wherein
Massachusetts jury ycrdicts had been
set aside, saying that the Massacllu-
setts courts were not usually influenced
BY the action Of courts in other states.
Arguing on the evidence upon which
sacco and Nanzetti were convicted,
Moore said that not one witness had
placed Nanzetti at the actual scene Of
the shooting. Two witnesses had said
they saw him near South Braintrce
several siours before the crime.
Grant by stretch Of the imagina-
ton said Mr.. Moore. that this was
sufficient evidence to convict Sacco,
where is there evidence TO consict
Nanzetti and ii there was not suf-
ficient evidence to convict Vanzetti
then the fact Of the verdict OF guilty
for both Of them is a challenge TO the
court against the conviction OF the de-
fendant Saeco.
Not only these defendants bnt the
administration Of justice in Massaehu.
setts is on trial here" said Mr.. Moore,
conditions over which no human being
could have control have made this case
of more than national interest The
power lies in this court to right this
wrong and grant the defendants a new
trial which simply gives the men an
other day in court
Mr.. Moore reviewed the evidence in
the case stressing the manner in which
the murder and $4,000 payroll robbery
was executed. ITO say these are the
men who planned and committed that
crime Mr.. Moore said, 'you must rec
ognize them as supermen. Not a single
dollar, not a single pay envelope stol-
en- at the time has been found since and
there has been nothing tangible upon
which to base their conviction" he
said
Without the evidence as TO con
sciousneSs of guilt, as your honor al
lowed it to go into the records. where
would there be any evidence to con-
vict n he asked.
The jury utterly disregarded the ali
bi OF Sacco and Vanzetti, counsel added.

FOR
FEDERAL AID ROADS
State Must Pick a Connected Roa
System Not Exceeding Seven Per
Cent of Its Whole Mileage.

Washington, ID. O.. Nov. 81 Require
mcnts as to how each state shall select
its federal aid roads constitute the
principal new feature of the federal
highway act, enactment of which has
just been completed. as differentiating
from the federal aid act OF 1916, ac-
cording to an analysis of the bill to-
Nay BY the federal farm bureau fedora !
fion.
10 secure part or all Of its allct-
ment Of the 75,000,000 of federal funds
appropriated for road construction for
the remainder of the fiscal year, state
must select connected road system
not exceeding seven per cent OF its en-
tire road mileage for Improvement
with federal aid. This system is to be
divided into two classes Of roads, one
consisting of interstate roads, which
shall not exceed three-sevenths OF the
system selected and upon which not
more than 60 per cent Of the states al
iotment can be expended without the
joint approval of the secretary OF agri.
culture as administrator Of the act, and
the state highway department. The
other class, consisting Of inter-county
roads, will compose the balance OF the
system and receive the remainder OF
the allotment.
The amount of federal aid received
on any project, however, is not to ex-
ceed so per cent of the estimated COST,
except in states where more than five
per cent OF the area is unappropriatcd
public land. this latter provision in
creasing the percentage in ten states,
ranging up to II per cent for Utah.
Where any state fails TO properly
maintain federal aid highway the
secretary of agriculture after 30 days
notice will maintain it out of the
states allotment and refuse approval
Of new projects until reimbursement Is
made by the state.
A. in the preceding bill, the federal
fund is apportioned among the states
BY division into three parts, one appor
toned on basis Of population, one
on basis Of area and the other ac-
cording to mileage Of rural and star
mail routes A new feature, however,
stipulating that no state shall receive
less than one-half of one per cent OF
the fund increases the sllotments TO
Delaware, New Hampshire. Rhode IS
land and Vermont TO $365,62a each.
