Farmers Need to be Organized SO
That They Can't Be Held Up

Harlan, Iowa-A Shelby county
sheep feeder shipped PSI lambs to
South Omaha recently. He shipped
after his commission merchant had
phoned to him that a good time to
sell was at hand. He had bought
the lambs previously in the same
market, along with fifty more, and
had fed them on grass five weeks.
Reaching the market, he was
told by his commission merchant
that none Of his lambs was fat
enough for packer use, hence they
would have to be sold to a scalper
The commission man said he would
ask S7.25 for the offering and take
500. The best he could do, how.
ever, was 10 get Sb.65
The consignment weighed 20,g10
pounds, an average Of a trife over
p pounds each.
The shipment brought gross
81 ,390.5l. The feeder got S64 be-
yond what the lambs had cost him
FIVE weeks previously and had
fifty left at home.
Not satisfied with the deal, how
ever, the feeder hung around
awhile and followed the sheep
through the yards. They were
taken to the special yard, the seal
per was using for his business.
There 100 of the bunch were sorted
out for sale TO the packers. As fat
lambs were selling that day at SO

them.
The feeder then talked with the
scalper about the 1877 head which

you want 'em will sell 'em to you

while they were near the home of
Jones. Jones. she said, was a friend
of her husband, and Jennings went to

In the House of Commons this aft
ernoon Sir william Henry Dawson,
coalition unlonist from Kensington.
tried to draw out Mr.. Lloyd George
on what was going on in Downing
street. asking for the assurance that
Ulster would not be coerced or
pressed to surrender anything given
II under the home rule act.
The premier, however, declined to
answer, and expressed the hope that
Sir Williams question would not be
pressed while the Irish negotiations
were proceeding
Meanwhile, Michael Collins and
George Gavan Duffy, members of the
Sim Fein delegation, held further
consultation with cannon De Valera
in Dublin today, but 1t was pointed
out at the Sim Fein headquarters
in London that nothing could occur
on their side until the conclusion OF
the conference between Mr.. Lloyd
George and the Ulster premier. They
declared nothing had been agreed to.
They said Sim Fem had put be-
fore the government plans on which
they considered the problem could be
solved and that the government like
wise had made proposals. AS one of
them said today: 1--WE know what the
governments plans are and the gov
eminent knows what ours are. We
hope the government is sympathetic
to ours. That is as far as 1t has gone
so far and the outcome depends upon
the view Ulster takes.
Sim Fein leaders further claim
that their proposals are liberal to
Ulster. I'VE are hoping for a set
dement, one of them said tonight,
and when that comes we do not
want to have a black spot in Ire
land. Liberal terms should avoid
that"
Since the Dali delegates have re-
iterated their determination not to
enter a. three -cornered conference
with the government and Ulster, but
are willing to meet Sir James Craig
to discuss the situation, it is be-
lieved that one of Mr. Lloyd Georges
greatest tasks is to get the Ulster
premier to meet Mr.. DeValera or one
of his colleagues.
This afternoons conference be-
tween Mr.. Lloyd George and Sir
James lasted an hour and a half. 1t
was regarded as likely tonight that
the Ulster premier would return to
Belfast soon to discuss with the I'LL
ster cabinet the questions he has been
asked while in London.
