THE HOME PAPER

Ex-Governor Francis once said the
following of newspapers: <fEach year
the local paper gives from $500 to
81 900 in free lines to the community
in which it is located. No other agen-
cy can or viii do this. The editor in
proportion to his means, does more
than any other ten men, and in all
fairness he ought to be supported
not because you ike hi NOR admire
his writings, but because the local pa
per is the best investment a commun-
ity can make. 1t may not be brilliant
1y edited or crowded with thought but
| financially it is of more benefit to the
community than the preacher or
teacher. Understand me, do not
mean mentally and yet on moral ques-
| tions you will find most of the papers
on the right side. Today the editors
of the local papers do the most for the
least money of any people on EARTH

The mills and elevators are want
ing the wheat this year and are not
advising farmers to hold it. They
know that the farmers who held their
wheat last year and lost money on it
will not likely hold any of it this year
if they can help it. The crop will be
rushed to. the market as rapidly as
possible and low prices will prevail
Inside of six months you will likely
commence to hear the old cry that
Gas soon as the wheat gets out of
the hands of the farmer the price has
gone up" Some wheat men say this
is the year for the farmer to hold his
wheat.

Visitors to prison have noticed that
prisoners. like other folk, are fond of
pets and that their pet is generally a
canary or other species of bird There
is a reason for this: A bird takes up
little room and requires little food,
whereas larger animals could not very
easily be kept in confinement. Most
prisons have rules forbidding inmates
to keep pets, but visitors to several of
the smaller prisons have sometimes
observed mice as well as birds and an
occasional dog sharing cells with pris
oners. In one of the large state pris
ons long-term prisoner was permit

NEWS AND COMMENT

Will Stagner, farmer in Rocks
county, had cut, threshed and sold his
wheat crop of ninety acres by June
3Oth. This is the earliest record
for that county. He received a
market price of ninety-five cents per
busheI for it which is considered less
than was paid for new wheat just one
year ago.

CHICAGO, March 17.-(A. PO-
Farmers organizations of the United
States today are officially consider
ing the most extensive cooperative
marketing plans in the history of the
country.
Two well developed projects for
handling grain already have been
worked out and are now being pre-
sented to farmers. If adopted. they
VIII go into effect this summer. Eff
forts are being made to unite the two
farm groups concerned on single sys-
tenn.
The final ratification meeting for
the broader Of the plans, which in
cludes the handling Of all grain is set
for April 6 here. The other organiza-
tion, which concerns itself only with
wheat is already signing up members.
on April the first working meet
ing of a national livestock marketing
committee will be held here. Its OBJ
ject is to develop a national livestock
marketing plan.
Coincidentally with these two meet
ings. fruit growers of the country will
hold conference in Chicago. at which
consideration will be given the posi-
bility Of national cooperative effort.
The national plans for marketing Of
wheat and livestock are the culmina-
tion of much local and sectional CO.

The prime movers in the plans mem
