ANNOUNCE AUTO COURSE

Courses in farm engineering and
auto mechanics will be held at State
college beginning September 26 and
continuing throughout the coming
school year. Bulletins announcing
these courses in detail are now being
distributed by the registrar. The pur.
pose of the school of farm engineering
and auto mechanics, which is entirely
separate from the secondary school of
agriculture course, is to give complete
training in the operation, care aud re-
pair of gas engines, automobiles and
tractors, fitting students for tractor
road work, tractor repair work and
garage work.
Because of limited facilities, the
school will not accept more than 80
men for this course. However, a
large number of additional men can
be accommodated in the special two
weeks tractor schools which are to
be held during the late winter and
spring.
An entire building on the campus is
devoted to the work of the school of
farm engineering and auto mechanics.
1t is completely equipped with modern
tractors, automobiles and gas engines.
The laboratories and shops are fitted
up with tools and machinery of the
latest design. Besides the equipment

DO NOT WANT TO FIX PRICES

Enemies Of the U. S. Grain Growers,
Inc, make much of the salaries which
are to be paid to officers of the new
farmers marketing organization in
order to divert the farmers from this
plan. Yet, the commissions of mem.
bers of the Chicago Board of Trade
for only five days would pay the ex-
pense of the U. S. Grain Growers,
Inc, for a whole year. Thus said

kANRED WHEAT MILLS GOOD

There is no truth in the report
that Kanred winter wheat is of poor
milling quality" states Ralph E. John
ston, extension agronomist at State
college. "Kanred is a strain of wheat
developed from a hard red winter
wheat of excellent milling qualities
and if it produces wheat of an in
ferior milling quality it comes from
the climate and soil conditions and
not the variety.

where Kanred was developed, de-
scribes their experiments with this

as a variety. Like other hard wheat,
some Kanred samples grown under
adverse conditions have produced poor

may be produced from seed of Kanred
or Turkey red and does not usually
make satisfactory -four. Climate and
soil conditions and not variety are to
blame"

OVER-MARkETING WHEAT

"At least 40 per cent of the wheat
crop, after deducting seed require
ments, has passed out of the hands
of the farmers in the last thirty days
and this means they are disposing of
their crop at an absolutely un-
paralleled rate, over-marketing their
wheat and unduly depressing the
price," states Secretary of Commerce
Herbert Hoover in reply to questions
of supply and demand put to him by
the American Farm Bureau federation.
which called to Secretary Hoover's
attention the fact that wheat farmers
were ~liquidating out of all proportion

orderly marketing.

might well be duplicated more gener-
ally by other boys and girls clubs
says Paul p. Banker, extension live
stock specialist at State college. The
local leader had outstanding classes of
horses, cattle, sheep and hogs ready
at various farms and no time was lost
in making the various demonstrations
The livestock specialist began the
judging demonstrations with score
cards: then classes were placed accord
ing to prominent features such as type,
quality, loins. backs. feet, depending
upon the class of animals. Lastly,
there were placings of classes and
written reasons Eva Bickel, Mime
haha county club agent, under whose
direction the school was conducted,
was much pleased with the results
obtained and she Is planning to hold
more such schools next year.
