BEEF GRADES
SHOW MOST Loss
Preference Of Retail Trade Reflected
In the Market for Live Cattle
Hog Prices Erratic-

South st. Paul, Mimi, Jan. %, 1921.
The strong preference shown by the
retail trade for the cheaper grades of
carcass beef is being reflected In the
market for live cattle, causing the
better grades to show a marked de-
cline, while commoner kinds have
maintained a fairly stable price basis.
Opening days of the week found very
light receipts Of cattle locally and
prices showed a marked improvement
over the close of the previous week.
Largely under the influence of excess
sive receipts at Chicago and a sharp
ly lower market at that point, wiping
out all Of the early gain, with better
grades of killing and feeding cattle
closing wen lower than last week.
Steers selling above $500 will show a
less of fully 25c for the period, how
ever, only a few of these kinds have
been in the local trade. Best for the
week were some Wisconsin short feds
selling, at $S.75, with bulk of the steers
selling from $500 to 700 at the weeks
close. All butcher cows and heifers
above a common grade are closing
around 25 to SOC lower than a week
ago, with very few on late days selling
from $5.75 to $50, bulk landing at
$500 to $50. Gamers and cutters at
$2.75 to 3.75 show little change, and
bologna bulls also remained steady.
Veal calves made and held a soc sd-
vance, closing top being $3.50. Stock
ers and feeders in sympathy with the
fat cattle market are around Csc lower
than a week ago.
Conditions surrounding the hog
trade have been fairly stable during
the week, but a highly uneven flow of
receipts has brought about some err
ratio price changes. Early in the week
prices assembled to the years high
point, Tuesdays average here being
slightly above $3.50. Since then x
cessive marketings have, however,
brought about sharp declines until at
the weeks close, bulk of the hogs sold
from $S.75 to 900 with tops at $40.
Lambs are SO to 75c lower than a
week ago, few natives getting above
$500 at present. Ewes have held
about steady, best fed kinds getting
up around $3.50 to 500. A feature of
the trade is the discrimination being
made against weight, both in lambs
and mutton.
+Prices on cattle here were forced
downward from Tuesdays high point.

DECREASE
FARM WORKERS
"DOn't Leave The Farm; Hold Out
Another Year"

Brockings, s. D., Jan. 26.-"Not
withstanding the serious financial diff
ficulties which have made il well nigl
impossible for many farmers to remain
Oh farms, this is no time to move Il
town." says Prof. j. G. Hutton of the
argonomy department of State college
The following paragraph from {
recent issue of the weekly news letter
Of the Department of Agriculture, hi
says, shows the increasing tendency
OF the rural population to migrate Il
the cities:
There was a net decrease of $4,000
III the number of men and boys over II
years of age working on Ohio farms
for the year ending in June this year
according to a survey made by the agri.
cultural statistician for the bureau OF
crop estimates, United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, and the state
bureau of agricultural statistics
The survey covered from 100 to SOC
farms in every county in the state
selected at random. The report furth-
er shows that for every nan who re-
turned to farm life during the year
seven left the farm for other employ
ment.
"Such a movement of labor from the
farms { says Professor Hutton "can re-
suit only in congested conditions in
the towns and cities and an oversup-
ply of labor in the industries 1t is a
safe guess that many of the people
who are leaving the farms to seek
more renumerative employment are
doomed to disappointment. No doubt
in many cases the funds which they
can derive from the sale OF farm
equipments at a sacrifice will soon be
exhausted and they will find themsel-
YES forced to turn to the farm in order
to have something to eat. According
to news items there are now hundreds
of thousands of workers in the cities
cut of employment. This means UNI
told suffering and great moral tempta-
ton. Men and women should serious
ly consider the possible results of plac
ing themselves and their children
among the unemployed.
when everything is considered, ii
seems best to try to hold out for an
other year, hoping that the farm bu-
redu anu OtUST IdTHucT OISdIllLdllOuS
may secure in the meantime the neces-
sary recognition of the nations great
est industry. If this proposition lis ac-
copied by the thinking farmer, wheth-
err owner or tenant, he should not re-
ms in idle or Indifferent. He should
ally himself with the farm bureau or
other reputable farmers organizations
and lend his support and influence in
securing a national policy for agricul-
ture which will insure a stable farm
population and a dependable food sup
ply for the nation.
Personally, ! have no desire to in
ffuence anyone in his choice of a &C.
cupation. 1t is a matter of deep re-
greet that cur economic conditions are
such as make it seem necessary to
leave the farm, hen the leaving can
only bring disaster. What the nation
needs is a square deal for every one,
farmers included. and when those who
are dealing feel the united influence of
the farm population, we shall be in a
sair way to get 4.
Lets keep our feet on the land.
Get together. Grit our teeth and pull
together, not only for ourselves, but
for the sake of the boys and girls.

GERMANY TO URGE
SMALLER PAYMENT
To Show She Is Taking 0bli-
cations Seriously, Declares
Foreign Minister

Stuttgart, February 13-Dr Simons, the
German foreign minister, speaking here
today, declared that a closer examina-
firmed the judgment he had already pro-
nounced in the Reichstag Abiding to
the speeches of Mr.. Lloyd George, M.
BRAND and Count Sforza, he deplored
that none of them even tried to show
how Germany could pay the enormous
annuities of six billions in gold. but
merely advanced fantastic and ,baseless
figures concerning the magnitude of Ger
man exports
The German counter proposals, said
the minister, would show that Germany
was taking her obligations seriously and
would take pains to make proposals
which, although unadorned with fantas-
tic figures, would have the advantage of
being practicable and meeting the most
urgent requirements of the allied coun-
tries.
The main defect in the Paris proposals,
Dr. Simon commended, lay in considering
the problem too much as one of finance
and too little as one Of production, and
complete neglect to investigate the eff
feet on the worlds production of the
financial performances required of Ger
many.
In this connection, he severely criti-
cised the proposed duty on German ex-
ports.
Declaring that France and Belgium
must not continue to refuse Germany s
technical collaboration in restoring the
devastated areas, without they them
selves being able to solve the problem,
lsc said:
Germany is offering unselfsh assist
znce. She wishes neither to found colo
mics nor to make building profits; she
only does not want to pay enormous sums
for work she could have carried out at
far smaller COSTS"
In conclusion, the foreign minister said
equally disadvantageous was the absence
Of American representation in the set
Element of the reparations problems, and
added:
III our opponents expect an enormous
hcSease IN German exports, they should
be anxious to direct German industry
toward the eastern markets. instead Of
toward their own. Whereas, it would ap-
pear in this respect, also, that they are
pursning a policy of strangulation by the
frustration of German economic nego-
tiations with eastern countries.
The problem can only be taken in
hand efficiently, If. instead of ideas of
punishment and competition, ideas of
help and solidarity are placed in the fore
front"
