BRISK ADVANCE IN
CHICAGO WHEAT MART

CHICAGO, Feb. 3.-Surprise over
a brisk advance in wheat prices at
Buenos Aires Friday carried the
wheat market here up we'll beyond
all recent high levels. The closing
was strong at is to . SIS net gain

July 1O9 IA 10 1O9 3-S. other
staples too, all finished higher-corn
up SIS a "a to "a a rs: oats

What made the latest soaring Of
Argentine quotations astonishing TO
the Chicago wheat trade was the
fact that in the last two weeks the
Argentine figures have risen more
than Liverpool notwithstanding that
the English market has out-distanc-
ed the upturn Of values in the Unit

country is again on "A world com
petitive basis. Posting of the Ar
gentne prices brought about gen
eral rush here TO buy although ear
lier many dealers had taken the view
that advances had been too rapid
and that a reaction was due.
Enhancement of the value Of corn
and oats resulted partly from the
action of the wheat market and
partly from reports showing that
stocks of oats in all positions are
much less than was the case a year
ago.

ACTIVITIES AMONG THE FARMERS
THREE HERDS ARE
FOUND TUBERCULAR
IN CASS co. TESTS

Tubercular-250 Cattle
Tested During Week.

About $50 cattle were tested dur
ing the past week by veterinarians
using the intradermal test.
DR.. Calkins. assistant state veteri-
marian. Lansing. spent the week d.
recting the tests and observing the
results.
While most of the herds were
found free from tuberculosis, there
were three herds where the disease
was present. In one herd Of 80
COWS # was observed That II head
were actually tubercular and two
classed as suspects. This is about
the average. as the other infected
herds showed only one or two head

VIII BE Slaughtered.
The infected cattle are all marked
and will be slaughtered. the owners
receiving an indemnity from the
state TO help make up the loss sus-
tanned. The work of testing spread
TO many farms and ii is hoped that
tuberculosis will be gradually wiped
out in Cass county.
Many farmers are requiring that
all cattle bought by them and
brought TO their farms be tuberculin
tested.
State laws require all pure bred
cattle to be tuberculin tested when
sold. We ought not allow scrubs or
grades to pass from one farm to an
other md cause a possible infection
on OF. farms to our stock and even
our children.
The Importance of cleaning up
our herds and having a clean bill OF
health is one that should not be
overlooked
In this county we have an increas-

try and hogs which also needs to be
, considered.
The Cass County Farm Bureau is
interested in the welfare OF all the
people, and is rendering every pos
sible assistance in the eradication
of tuberculosis in livestock

HOLSTEIN BREEDER
ADOPTS TRADEMARK
NAME "OLDENBURG"
Charles Weidler Cattle TO
Have Regular Prefix
Serves as Identification.

Charles Weidler, probably one OF
the largest Holstein breeders in his
vicinity has adopted the trademark
name Of aldenbUrg' for his stock.
This means that all Holstein cattle
raised on the WeIdler farm and reg
istered with the Holstein- Fresian
Association of America will have as
a regular prefix the name of Olden-
burg.
All registered animals carry be-
sides a registry number a family
name usually indicating the ances-
trail bloodlines As a means of iden-
tifying the various breeding estab-
lishments Of the country trademark
names are reserved by the asSocia-
ton for the exclusive use of breed
ers Thus, an animal can always be
identified as 10 its original birth
place. Every Holstein man in the
United States knows thrt a COW
named Pabst Clover Blossom must
come from the Pabst stock farm Of
OcOnomOwoc, Wis. . In a like man
ner animals carrying the prefix
"Oldenburs' Will in the future be
recognized as coming from the
Weidler herd Of South Bend. Ind.
Good Advertisement.
The farm name is a good adver-
tisement. It marks the farm home
and the place of business. It dig
nifies the business and increases the
value of the property. It shows a
pride in the management and fosters
love of tradition. A good farm name
can be sold with the land and pro-
ducts as the good will Of a firm can
be sold with the business. Certain
localities in the west have become
famous because of their farms and
the distinCtiveness which goes with
the naming of them.
In connection with the naming Of
the farm, it is well to think of ways
Of drawing the attention Of the pass
erby. In these days of autos and
tourists it is he grasping of po-
tential advertising opportunity to
displays the roadsides at the en-
trance to the farm yard. the farm
name and the name and address Of
the owner. suspended therefrOm
might be the illustration of COW,

not suggesting the business special
| ~. Such would serve as a mark Of
Identity.
over 5000 Of such names have
been reserved by members of the
Holstein- Friesian association and
pamphlets giving instructions for
/ erecting appropriate signs are dis
tributed free by the association.
Advertising 10 be successful must

taken steady pounding 10 convince
the public that a certain product

I is a demand for the advertised pro-
+ duct and the advertiser then realizes
( that advertising really pays.

LIMESTONE TO Be

Pulyerized limestone, that indis-
pensible commodity for acid soils,

orts Of the Indiana Federation OF
Farmers associations and other
agencies. who have been striving for
over a year to get a reduction i'm
freight rates on this product. Jus,
how much cheaper can not be deter
mined at this time. but that a sub
stantial decrease over last year 8
price will be made possible to the
consumer is evident.
The use of agricultural limestone
has I'm experimental and practical
work proved itself a most valuable
aid 10 soils which have a maximum

this material has been profitably APP

Anxious for Reduction.
The Indiana Federation Of Farm

sity of limestone. has been very anx-
ious that a reduction IN the rate. OF
this commodity be made Hereto
fore there has been a much higher
rate on limestone TO be used for az
ricultural purposes than FOR crushed
limestone used for construction pur-

Until January first this year In

All farmers purchasing seed have
right to insist that it be labeled
showing the purity, termination and
number of weed seeds to the pound.
But the farmer may sell whatever

Uses without using labels. provided
he does not advertise the seed, or

Lie Stock Selling
charge Cit in Half
By Cooperative Plan

ON Jan. 10 the Central Cooper
alive Commission association at
Souht St Paul. Mimi, declared a 25
percent patronage dividend, which
amounts TO more than all the money
paid into it's treasury by its men,
Der associations. 1t also announced
an 5 per cent stock dividend. The
issuing of the dividend. according to
the Minnesota Farm Bureau fedora
ton. means that the Central Coop
crative Commission association has
handled the largest volume of bust
ness on the St Paul market at one
half the cost of marketing it through
non-co- operative agencies. The total
dividend TO be paid by the associa-
ton on business done from Aug. S
to Dec 81. 1921, amounts to $19.-
12422. Its total receipts in COM
missions amount 10 only S73.36O. SIS.
according 20 state auditors. The
payment of the dividend constitutes
a return 10 the farmers Of one-fourth
of all the money they have paid 10
the central selling organization for
handling their livestock. The ac-
tuaf saving TO farmers is twice the
amoun, OF the dividend. because the
farmers association has handled tine
farmers livestock at commission
rates approximately 25 percent lower
than the prevailing charges. After
paying the dividend and all expenses
the marketing agency will have 4
surplus OF several thousand dollars
The dividend amounts 10 S2.349
NOR than the total paid-in capital
of the association.
Records Of the Minnesota railroad
and warehouse commission SHOW
that from Aux. TO Dec. 81. 1921,
the farmers agency handled 4,424
cars OF stock. No other firm on the
market handled as large a volume OF
business during the whole II months

Probable Successor to Iowan
Matter of Much SpeCu-
lation.

The past week has been one OF
intense interest to the farmer who
has followed the trend Of events in
national politics. especially that
phase concerning the senate agricul-
tural bloc.
When the news was flashed across
the country Tuesday that Sen. VIII
liam S. Kenyon, chairman of the
agricultural bloc. had accepted the
appointment OF Pres't Harding 70
the bench in the Eighth Federal
Judicial district, there was cOnsid-
cradle speculation as TO what effect
Sen. Kenyon's going would have up
on the morale Of the bloc itself.
