( Hickory Grove and Cauthorn are
planning a joint session with Rumpus
Gap in the near future.
One day last week a Missouri
Pacific train pulled into the National
Stock Yards with the live stock it had
picked up on its run. It consisted Of
thirteen carssix Of cattle and seven
Of hogs--anl all but one was COM
signed to The Farmers Live Stock
Commission Co. They handled los
ears Of stock the frst four days Of
last week, and with an average run
expected to head the list Of commis-
sion firms at the Yards. This is just
another proof Of the sound policy Of
the Organization; namely, that a
farmers organization must be we'll
knitted together back at the Gross
roads before 1t can be successful in
a larger way. 1t is a mistake to try
to build a strong farm organization
from the top down.
A letter from the manager Of cur
Produce Exchange at st. James, in
Phelps Co, states that for the fifteen
months that they have been in oper-
alton, they have paid back to their

dends, $3.50 in wheat rebates; paid
|8 per cent on their Capital Stock,
$4,000 in Patronage Dividends for

that st. James is Just an average

Gray Issues Statement
On Senate Investigation

In speaking relative to the senator
ia investigation OF price increases of
gasoline and other refined products,
W II. Gray. president of the Mid.Con-
tinent Oil and Gas Association has is
sued the following statement:
THE brief which the independent oil
men filed with the senate finance com
mittee last year in support Of u tariff
on oil, points out very clearly that
the price of oil to the consumer should
be distributed equally. as nearly as
possible over the heavy end and the
light end of the crude product in order
that the price paid TO the producer
might be sufficient TO maintain pro
duction, and whenever the price of fuel
oil dropped so low as to fail to carry its
proportion of the crude, the price oil
gasoline would have to be increased in
order to make up for the difference.
"The country is now experiencing
the effects Of the short. sighted policy
of the government in permitting low
grade Mexican oil to be imported into
this country in unrestricted quantities,
while collecting from the producers
and refiners of light oils the very heav'
lest taxes they could exact from them.
With the continud havy imports OF
Mexican crude, the industries of the
gulf coast and the Atlantic seaboard
are enjoying the benefit of cheap fuel
oil while the consumer Of gasoline Is
paying the bill.
During 1920 and 1921, GO per cent
of the Independent oil refiners OF the
Mid-Continent We're wrecked, due TO
the low price of fuel oil, and those
that survived the crash find them.
selves utterly unable to supply the de-
mand for gasoline that is coming from
all parts Of the world Had congress
extended to these industries helping
hand by putting a tariff on low grade
Mexican Oil, thus enabling them to
maintain their connections with the IN
dependent producers, the history OF
the price Of gasoline in 1922 would have
been different one. and the senate
would not now find Itself investigating
the WHY about the increase.
| when the matter is properly pre-
4 sented to the committee on manufac'
| lures, they can find the complete an.
swer to the question of the high price
of gasoline and that answer will be:
| That the lower price of fuel oil which
has obtained for practically two years
| due to the unbridled imports of Mex
| lean crude has made it necessary to
raise the price of gasoline in order to
pay a fair price to the producer OF
light crude in order to prevent a short
| age Of gasoline producing oil.
"As TO the question of manipulation
Of prices and agreements for making
prices. this, in my Judgment is waste
of inquiry. 1t is not necessary to have
