smaller, thinner walled gas range oven
through which a blast Of hot air Is
rapidly circulating.
Choose temperatures with the follow
ing principles in mind:
/. The larger sizes of loaf, roll, null
fin, potatoes and such usually require
lower temperatures for long porous,
and the smaller sizes higher tempera-
lures and shorter periods, other things
being equal.
2. The shape of the loaf or roll is I'M
portant. A half-pound sponge cake or
angel-food cake baked in a Turks mead
pan (center tube) stands compare
lively high temperature better than
does the same weight OF cake baked
as an ordinary loaf.
g. The composition of the batter or
dough largely governs the baking tenn
perature. A plain loaf cake containing
comparatively little sugar, eggs and fat
ii. e. a cheap cake) requires greater
care and more gradually applied heat
than does a richer cake; it should
therefore be put into cool oven IN
order to get the best results.
Different ovens vary somewhat IN
the temperature necessary for the best
results In baking, but the following

From leg of mutton, cooked rare,
cut pieces about the size of an ordi-
nary loin chop. These may be fried
in little fat, or egged, crumbed, and
fried in deep fat, or they may be
brushed over with the fat, and broiled.
The result is more like meat cooked

WILL ORGANIZE
MARKET BOARD
American Farm Bureau Federation to
Prosecute Vigorous Co-opera-
tive Sales Plan.
(Farm Bureau News Service.)

(Farm Bureau News Service.)
A division of markets to prosecute
a vigorous cooperative marketing
program has been authorized by direc-
tors of the American Farm Bureau
federation. This step was taken at
the first meeting Of the new board,
following the recent annual conven-
tion, which adopted basic marketing
policy, which placed the farm bureau
actively at the head Of the co-opera-
tive marketing movement of the coun-
try.
The new division will stimulate ex-
tension Of farmer-owned marketing
agencies and will aim to bring unity
and coordination of efforts. It will
be in charge Of director, yet to be
selected, who will be a man of ma
tional prominence with outstanding
qualifications.
At the organization meeting of the
new board, of which J. F. Reed, presi-
dent of the Minnesota Farm Bureau
federation, is member, steps to re-
duce overhead at the national office
were taken. The office Of treasurer,
vacated by the resignation Of Charles
Gunnels, was consolidated with that
of secretary. J. w. Coverdale was re-
elected secretary, as was Samuel
Guard, director Of the department of
information.
Salary items we're reduced in sew

Grafton is we'll started on it's fifth

from the meeting. 81 was pleased
with the manner in which o. E. Brad
fute, new president, took hold of the
work. Farmers may rest assured that

will continue to have foremost in mind

Lower Freight Rates Demanded.

The application of the Western rail-
road commissions to the Interstate
Commerce commission for a further
reduction of freight rates on grain,
grain products and hay is entirely a
just one and should be granted. The
application calls for a return of the
rates on those products to the level of
August, 1920, before the last sweeping
increase was granted. 1t will be re-
membered that the first wartime in
crease in freight rates was ordered by
the United States Railroad Admins
tration in June, 1918, amounting to
thirty per cent in the Western terri
tory, and the second increase of thir-
ty-fve per cent was allowed by the
Interstate Commerce commission in
August, 1920, making the total in
crease seventy-fve (not sixty-five) per
cent. To this were added many
changes in freight classifcations
which further increased the rates on
a great many commodities.
Last January the Interstate Com
merce commission ordered a reduction
of half the increase granted in Aug
ust, 1920, on grain, grain products and
hay. A little later it ordered reduc-
tions of ten per cent on all other
agricultural products and on non
agricultural commodities. The request
of the Western railroad commission
now is for further reduction on
grain, grain, grain products and hay
to the level of August, 1920. 1t has
long been the contention of this paper
that all freight rates should be re-
turned to that level, leaving the rail-
roads for the time being the general
increase of thirty per cent obtained in
1918. Only then will freight rates and
prices, particularly for agricultural
products, return to reasonable COM
parable basis.
One suggestion made before the in
terstate Commerce commission last
week has little to commend it from
the farmers standpoint. It was sug-
gested that readjustment Of freight
rates be effected so that commodities
of which the prices have held to higher
levels than those Of farm products
might bear larger proportion OF the
TRANSPORTATION cost. In effect this
would mean a reduction OF rates on
things the farmer has to sell and an
increase on the things the farmer has
to buy. Just where the relief to agri-
culture would enter in, we can not
clearly see. The farmer is the man
who pays the freight both ways, on
the things he has to sell and on the
things he has to buy. Any increase
of rates on the latter commodities
would Immediately be added to the
price he has to pay. The one way to
relieve the farmers transportation
burden is to return all freight rates
to the level of August, 1920. Then the
supplementary problem Of railroad
operating costs will perforce be dealt
with in a truly determined and etfec~
tive way.-The Farmer.

To Petition ID. c. Bankers.

The District of Columbia Bankers
Association will be petitioned to dis
burse Christmas savings funds in
the early part of December by the
Washington Chamber of Commerce.
Resolution to this effect was pro-
posed at the last meeting of the
body's board by Isaac Cans, vice
president of the Retail Trade Com
mission, and carried unanimously.
The resolution follows:
whereas, the banks of Washing
ton have, for the past several years
1naugurated a system on Christmas
savings and these checks are mailed
to the ones who have so saved for
this purpose a few days before
Christmas: and whereas we feel that
this method of inculcating savings
for Christmas Is splendid idea but
that the method of distribution
would be much better for the mer.
chants of this city If these checks
be distributed the early part of De
cember; therefore, be it resolved tina,
the board of directors of the Wash
ington Chamber of Commerce re-
quest the several banks that they
distribute these checks for the
Christmas savings the early part of
December, if such would be prac-
