WOOL.

The last few days has shown some
activity in the wool market. Some OF
the lower grades have been sold. Hard
bury, 1Sc: dead, 15c; colts, l3c;
damage, 15c; Millbuyers are still
waiting to see what Congress might
do with the Embargo Tariff Bill, this
I feel will be settled down in few
days. And we predict a more active
wool market when there will be good
demand for our better grades OF
wool.
We have contracted with the Ma
tional Wool Warehouse & Storage Co.
to handle our wool sacks and twlne.
Wool sacks 40c each, and the best 4
ply paper twine 2Sc per pound. Every
1consigner should use the paper wool
twine as it increases the value of his
wool. At the State meeting resolu-
tion was passed advising nc per
pound for binder twine. Make can
vass Of your members and order all
in one lot enough sacks and twine
for your county. This will save freight
and express. sEa "s
y The three year contracts are just
out and book will be sent to you
under separate cover. Please take this
up with your county organization and
get all members to sign up, so we
will know how many sacks and now
much twine to buy, also how much
storage to provide for, how many
graders to secure and other OFFICE
help.-From a letter from V. G. War
ner, Sec'y Iowa Fleece Wool Growers
Association.

pOUJ,TRY CHILLING.

We would like to hear from people
that will want poultry culling done
this season, and about what time so
that we may know what the demand
is for this work. A great many OF
people can do this work themselves,
but for anyone wanting demonstra-
tion and their flock culled, 1t will
be done free Of charge. In this county
last season there was culling done
in all the townships, total OF 1l5
meetings with an attendance Of 557.
1217O birds were handled, 1859 were
culled out and 7601 kept.

VOTES CASH FOR U. S. ARMY
Bill Carrying $4,000, 900 and Provid-
Ing for Force Of 10000 Men
Passed by House.

Washington. Feb. 9.-The army ap-
preparation bill carrying approximate
ly $329,OOO.OOO and providing for a
force of only 10000 men in 1922 was
passed by the house and sent to the
senate. The measure was passed
practically as 1t came from the ap-
preparations committee. The house
also refused, by vote of 219 to 40,
to insert a specific provision that the
army be reduced to 10000 men dur
ing the year. but the funds appropri-
ated for enlisted mems pay is suffi-
cient only for a force of that size.

] Delaware Co. Farm Bureau

voice in John Browns Body lies a.
Moulding in the Grave" 1t was the
marching song of the soldiers in the
early part Of the Civil war.
The Battle Hymn Of the Republic"
has been song that has always
stirred the patriotism of the American
people. "Dixie" has long been the hymn
of the south. Yankee Doodle" is a
tune that puts pep into any true
American who whistles it or hears
it. .--.
So it is with the farmer and his
problem of today. A song that will
give common bond of feeling, one
which will act as battle hymn, a
marching song, as he meets the is
sues which he is facing, will do much
to put vigor into his step. Songs are
morale builders. In our recent war,
the boys who were going to the front
sang songs. These put rhythm into
their actions and the tune of the song
was in their minds and helped them
on their tedious marches.
We all remember the old singing
schools and the good times that they
furnished. Now would be. "a good time
to revive these good times in our farm
ers' meetings. --.
The man or woman, boy or girl,
who is able to contribute song that
will help to carry the spirit OF the
times is doing service for the Farm
Bureau organization that is worth
while.
It is with these ideas in mind that
we urge the cooperation OF every
one in getting collection or songs
that will fill this need as the farmers
and their families gather round the
fireside or in meetings to discuss the
problems of the day.
We have secured the cooperation
of some of the best men in the coun-
try to act as judges-men on one
hand who know music and community
singing and men on the other hand
who know the needs of the farmers
today. The judges are: Holmes COW
per, Tolbert Macrae, J. R. Howard, q.
w. Hunt and Henry G. Wallace.
Fifty dollars will be given as cash
prize to the winner of the contest.
1t may be that local prizes will be
furnished by interested people in dlt-
ferent communities, depending on the
action taken by these communities. 1t
should not be the prize which counts,
but the honor of writing song which
will help to stir up interest in COM
munity singing and reflect the thought
and problems of the day.
We hope that many counties Will
institute local contests. The idea IS
to have this Farm Bureau affair.
Our only idea is to stimulate in
terest in community singing, good
songs and good fellowship. We want
the local people to try out songs and
see if they have the swing, snap ana
feeling necessary to make the song
popular. Then take all or the best
of the local songs and send them to the
Wallaces' Farmer Contest.
The words must be original. The
music should be some popular or we'll
known air, or it may be original. No
one connected with the Wallaces
Farmer or relative of the judges is
eligible for the prize. The song must
be plainly written or typed on one
side of the paper only. All compost
tions must be in the hands OF the Farm
Bureau Editor of Wallaces' Farmer,
Des Moines, Iowa, by March 81, 1871.

PURE BRED BREEDERS AND A

Some talk is being heard as to call
Ing meeting of the Pure bred breed

irving at better working agreement

nate certain abuses that have crep'
into their business. We would ike

for such meeting and what the

it. Should there be a reasonable de-
mand for such a meeting, the Fedora

Most people conclude that this
phrase, which we hear so often nova
days, is of recent origin, but Amiel.

There is also evidence that the phrase
was in use as long ago as 1892, so we

SAVE BY REPAIRING OLD IMPLE
MENTS,

One thing which will tend to keep
machine prices up is for farmers to
continue to buy at present prices. Ihe
one thing which the farmers can do
which will tend to bring farm ma
chinery down is to buy no more than
is absolutely essential to the opera
ton OF their farms. This is policy
which can be carried out success
fully with small expense by the farm
ers who know how to make repairs.
THE farmer who is less sklllful may
get his neighbOr to help him. Ihls
policy of making repairs can be car
ried much farther if machinery prices
remain high than If they are reduced
The farmer buys machine for the
next ten years and, If in few years
machinery is coming down forty or
fifty per cent, it is important 10
await this drop rather than have TOO
high a machinery charge against the
crop for the next ten years.
In one place where grain binder
had been run nine years and had cut
about 200 acres of grain and timothy
each year, the owner was ready 10
take $25 for it in trade for a new one,
when the boy said, ''Let me try and
fix it up" go ahead" replied his
father, "but before you spend the
price of a new one in repairs let me
know" The boy went to work. Sever
al parts were badly worn. so he went
to farmer three miles away who
had discarded a binder of the same
make and found he could get most OF
the repairs. He bought the old ma
chine for junk and by putting the two
together he saved buying a new one
for some time.

War and postwar obstacles have
piled up a large accumulation of
building projects. They cannet be
completed in a few summer and fall
months.
Business in general is sure sooner
or later to revive, and the farmer will
send his stored products to market.
When both or either Of these things
occur the railroads will again have
more than they are able to do. If ev-

CHICAGO, Dec. 30.-Free selling, due
to the government report on winter

a house in financial difficulties, led to
material setbacks day in the value
