Many Elevators
In Middlewest
Sign PoolingPlan
>~Thirty.Five Firms in Nebras-
ka to Handle Grain for New
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Enter Contracts.

One hundred and twenty-five
farmers elevators in five OF the
important grain growing states of
the middlewest have signed con-
tracts to handle grain for the Unit
ed States Grain Growers, Inc, ac-
cording to a summary Of organi-
cations work issued by the national
headquarters. The reports show that
10 elevators in Illinois, eight in
Oklahoma, 80 in North Dakota, 50
in Nebraska and 80 in Missouri
have become identified with the
movement.
Special importance is attached to
reports from Illinois," said r. N.
Clarks, director of membership So
licitation in that state, because Of
the effort now being made by agents
of the Chicago Board of Trade to
discredit the idea of cooperation
before farmers and directors of
county elevators. Flied solicitors
have been at work in Illinois for
only two days and thus far they
have been able to complete nego-
tiations with every group OF direc-
tors before whom our plan has been
explained. This fact strongly indi-
Gates that producers are determined
to try cooperative grain marketing
on a national basis"
In Oklahoma, in addition to eight
elevators signed up, solicitors OBJ
tanned grower contracts from l32
farmers. In North Dakota, where 80
''elevators have joined the movement,
a bushelage represented by grower
contracts, already signed, is in ex-
cess of 100000. In Nebraska, where
IS elevators have been signed up,
solicitors as yet are making no spe-
cial effort TO obtain grower con-
tracts. In Missouri, where 80 ele-
vators have signed up, grower con-
tracts have been obtained from 100
farmers.
an most states" says the state
ment, Solicitors are confining their

contracts, one with the grower, rum
ming to his local elevator, and the
second running from the local ele-
vator to the national sales agency.
Because the whole problem of CO.
operative grain marketing will be.
simplified in sections where country
handling facilities are available, it
has been found advisable to COM
plete negotiations with local eleva-
tors before grower contracts are
circulated. This accounts for the
fact that few reports have been re-
ceived as to the number of these
latter agreements that have been
signed.
"The national sales plan includes |
q direct contract between the grow
er and the national sales agency, but
this will be used only in sections
where local elevators either cannot
or wip not become a party to the
national movement"

Spanish Crop Estimates
Are Cahled to Washington

Official estimates of the 1921 har-
vest in Spain, supplied by the di-
rector general of agriculture. have
been cabled to the bureau of mar
kets and crop estimates by the Amer
lean commercial attache at Madrid.
The crop estimates given are as fol-
lows: Wheat, '136,096,543 bushels;
barley, SS,94l,216 bushels; rye, 70
o00,612 bushels, and oats, 32,84O,473
bushels. .
Since the corn crop is not planted
until April and May and not har-
vested until September, accurate es--
Inmates of the 1921 corn crop could
not be made at this time. The aver
age annual corn crop raised in Spain,
however. is 27,079, 1881.

First Bulk Shipment
OF Wheat Is Made From
Port Of Australia

The first vessel ever loaded in
Australia with a cargo of wheat in
bulk recently took in a load OF
4,500 tons at Sydney and was dis
patched to the United Kingdom for
orders, according to the Canadian
department of trade and commerce.
Australian wheat growers have long
been interested in the bulk handling
of wheat.
The first shipment of wheat in
bulk is largely experimental and it
will be the only shipment made un-
til the results are known. The
varying temperatures encountered
during the voyage are subject OF
concern. The cargo, after leaving
the temperate climate of Sydney,
passes through the colder southern
ATTITUDES, then through the equa-
torial regions, and finally again
through colder climate to reach
its destination. How these temper
ature variations will affect the cargo
is as yet undetermined.
AS the dunnage required for lin
ing the holds is not available in
Australia, the timber has to be i'm
ported and the cost of lining is
therefore a large item. In this in
stance the cost was $12,745 for the
one ship, and as the cargo totaled
10000 bushels, the cost of fitting
the ship was nearly s cents per
bushel. Although the cost of load
ing bulk wheat is ordinarily much
less than loading it in bags, the ex-
pense of lining the ship in this in
stance made the bulk shipment $251
per ton higher than the cost of load
ing bagged wheat. Shippers and
shipowners are therefore not espe-
cially favorable toward bulk load
ing AZ Oresenf time

"De Ducks" Get Crops
I0Wa Farmer Says in
Asking for NeW Loan

Some of the problems now facing
farmers were outlined by an Iowa
man, in attempting to explain to
banker at Dubuque, just why it was
necessary to receive loan to tide
him over lean period.
But" said the banker, Il don't
understand why you should want to
borrow money when you have just
shipped your crop. What did you
do with the money"
''De ducks got it," replied the
farmer. ..> .
What do you mean by de ducks?"
"Well," explained the farmer. Il
shipped the car to market and sold it
for 81 cents a bushel. They de

New Zealand's Wheat Crop
Placed at 5.975,OOO Bushel,

The total production of wheat for
New Zealand should be approxi-
mately 5,o75,000 bushels compared
with an actual yield of 5,55o,o34 bu-
shells for the season of lo19-20, ac-
cording to the New Zealand depart
ment of agriculture.
The percentage of oats threshed
in 19lo-20 was 34,7o of the total
area under that crop. Assuming
that a similar proportion is threshed
this year, the total production of
grain should be approximately S.
$4,000 bushels compared with g.
o67,862 bushels for the previous sea-
SON; but from the information so
far available it would appear unlike
ly that the proportion of oats
threshsd this season will be as high
as in the season 1o19-20.

Australian Wool Situation

The enormous accumulations of
wool in Australia are causing great
uneasiness and may precipitate Sc
rious financial results, reports the
American consul at Melbourne. An
effort is being made to regulate the
sale of wool in such a manner as to
maintain prices. Some of the own
ers of wool find it necessary, how
ever, to dispose of their stocks and
serious breaks in market prices arc
anticipated.

Number of Live Stock in /
Quebec Is Decreasing

The number of live stock in the
province of Quebec, Canada, appears
to be decreasing, according to fig
ures supplied by the provincial bu-
reau of statistics. Holdings of sheep,
however, have shown a moderate in
crease during the past few years. The
continual decrease in the number of
milk cows is attributed to high feed
ing costs. and that of horses to the
increasing use of automobiles and
farm tractors.
Despite efforts made by the gov
ernment to encourage hog rails
ing, little success has resulted, as
farmers maintain that it is an un-
profitable business. The government
is also endeavoring to improve the
breed of sheep, by establishing a
number of grading stations.

Dry Agents Harvest
Bumper Wet Crop on
Farm, in Sucker State

Surprising products are being rails
ed on farms this year. For instance,
prohibition agents went to a farm
near Darlington, H., recently, pump
ed water out of cistern with false
bottom and then from the second
cistern beneath, they raised Is gal
Ions Of alcohol. The farm also yield
ed five barrels of whisky, "a cases
of pint bottles Of whisky and IS gal
Ion jugs of booze.
Authorities for some time have
been puzzled over the source of sup
ply OF booze to students of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin and various
points in northern Illinois. 1t is

lem.

DECLARE STREET GAR !. SERVICE INADEQUATE

Charge that inadequate street car service is responsible for the boys and girls in the district served by the Glendale high school coming to Phoenix to attend school is made in a complaint against the traction company, made to the corporation commission.
 Of the 19 pupils in the Washington
 school district, 10 a4e coming to Phoenix to school it was pointed out to the commission yesterday, when an informal hearing was held by the
 commissioners, s. H. Mitchell. su-
 perintendent of the railway com
 pany. and Principal McRuer of the Glendale high school. The pupils in this district take the car at the Stout
 station, three miles from Glendale. and it is alleged that the schedule makes it impossible for them to at tend the Glendale school.
 Better car service would be the incentive for the children to attend
 the local schools. claim the Glendale boosters, who point out that tuition fee must be paid by the students coming into Phoenix to school The 1 commission suggested that an inves- tigation be made to ascertain how | many children would change their schools if the car schedule were to comply with the wishes of the Glen dale educators. This report will be made when the matter comes up I for formal hearing before the com | mission on Wednesday at 1:30
 o'clock. It is understood that if there is sufficient guarantee to establish
 car service it will be required for al least an experimental period.

 JERSEY CITY, N. J.. Sept. PA precedent in championship boxing ar- nals was set today by the New Jer- sey boxing commission when it de- prived Johnny Wilson, middleweight title, holder, of the s35.000 purse he was to have received for his Labor day bout with Bryan Downey Of Cleveland. Wilson was found guilty by the commission of falling to put forth his best efforts. Withholding of the purse was deemed proper pun ishment.
 The commission announced that it was not certain IS to the legality of the action and would take steps te learn the extent of its authority. Tn the meantime, Tex Rickard. promoter, was directed to place the money in trust.
 Counsel for Wilson indicated that the case would be taken to the courts.
 Wilson met Downey in a 12 round affair here Labor day to settle the dispute over tLeir bout in Cleveland
 in which powney claimed he had won by a knockout, but the referee had counted too slowly. The bout here was tame and Dow ney, who had tried lwkwardly to floor l Wilson in every round, was given the decision by most newspaper men. Nc official decision was permitted.

GOVERNOR RETURNS FROM NEW MEXICO;
 GOES NORTH TODAY

Gov. Thomas E. Campbell will leave today for Prescott, where he will confe with Major Grant and Assistant Director Milligan of the Pacific coast division of the war vet erans bureau relative to the location of vocational training school.
 The governor is keenly interested in the establishment of such school in Arizona where the men who have been released from hospitals but who are not physically fit to leave this state can have the benefits of train- ing that will prepare them to ''carry on.'' Immediately after the confer ence the governor will go to Tucson where he will meet Colonel Forbes with whom he will discuss health service compensation and vocational training as related to the exservice men in that district
 Thesa were the plans for the week end the governor announced yester- day on his return from New Mexico where he spent 1c days in a lecture tour of the Colorado river basin prof ect.
 The governor spent the greater part of his absence in the San Juan basin.
 There is more water in the basin than in the entire state of Arizona the governor declared. The San Juan river and it's tributaries con- tribute to the Colorado IA per cent of the flow of the river
 Despite the vast acreage brought under cultivation by the Thurley dam over the San Juan river there is still a vast country with wonderful possibilities: the governor said in speaking of the unused water that is going to waste in the -neighborins state.
