STANDARD BRED POULTRY
WEEK MARCH IL TO IS

Minnesotas governor is the first in
the union to proclaim a special week
to be devoted to the welfare of the
poultry and egg production interests
of the state. This seems altogether
fitting in view Of the fact that the
annual production Of poultry and eggs
in Minnesota averages nearly $41,.
100000. BY proclaiming Standard
Bred Poultry Week, March IL to 49,
the states executive has given ma.
terial impetus to the effort to improve
Minnesota flocks and increase their
production. Prospects seem bright for
egg producers. Stocks of eggs in cold
storage are much less today THAN they
were year ago. Government figures
also show that the large eastern cen.
tiers are consuming vastly more eggs
than ever before

WHEAT PRODUCTION
The Influence Of Soil Management in
the Red River Valley. by II. I.
WaIster, -Agronomist, N. Oak.
Ayr EXP. Station.

Wheat production declines under
continuous cropping. The competition
Of weeds principally wild oats and
french weed) and the inroads of black
stem rust have been the major limit
ing factors in wheat production on
the Fargo clay during the past eight
years. The extent to which this soil
or any other soil may be expected
to respond to any fertilizer or amend
ment cannot be measured when weeds
or plant disease prevent maximum
yields. Disease resistant varieties OF
wheat should be substituted for dis
ease-susceptible varieties in fertilizer
trials that gre aimed to discover
chemical deficiencies in the soil.
The use of farm manure in
a continuous grain culture system
does not raise production, largely
because of the serious COM
petition of weeds. Rotation culture
alone has raised wheat yields on
the Fargo clay 81 bushels per acre
during the past years; the use Of
from 8 to - tons Of, fresh stable
manure applied once in four years
has returned further increase Of
2A bushels; and supplementary treat,
ment with either acid phosphate OF!
steamed bone meal once in four years
has added still another bushel. To
summarize: Wheat under rotation cul-
ture, the soil treated with manure and

40 per cent more than unmanured
wheat land under continuous culture.
Rotation alone has raised the yield
over 20 per cent; and manure has
returned an average annual increase
Of - per cent over that of rotation
alone.
In a four-year rotation Of potatoes
wheat, clover and barley with crop
residues (barley straw, wheat straw
and second crop of clover) returned
to the soil, the addition Of phosphorus
increased the yield 1856 per cent as
an eight-year average. In four-yeal
rotation of corn, wheat, clover and
oats, with manure returned Il pound
of fresh manure returned for every
pound of produce removed) supple
mentary treatment with the same
amount of phosphates increased the
Weld only 4.O1 per cent as an eight
year average.
AS an average of four rust-free
years phosphate increased the yield
Of wheat 3.07 bushels to the acre OF
11.3 per cent where crop residues were
returned. AS an average of the same
four years phosphorus increased the
yield Of wheat 1.O2 bushels or 80
per cent where manure was returned
The actual yields Of wheat have always
averaged higher under ~ the manure
system.

RURAL ACTIVITIES AND NEWS
OF INTEREST TO THE FARMER
BUREAU TO OFFER
: 9 AGENCIES SERVICE
AS CLEARING HOUSE
State Federation Invites Co-operatives
TO Conference on Problems of
Common Interest To All

Full use of the whole farm bureau
organization as a clearinghouse for
all farmers common problems, will be
offered to the principal statewide CO.
operative organizations Of Minnesota
The Minnesota Farm Bureau feder-
alton is inviting officers and directors
OF nine agricultural organizations to
a statewide conference, to work out in
detail plan by which all these
bodies may act promptly and with
united front on all matters affecting
the whole farming population Of the
state. The farm bureau will offer the
use of it's state headquarters, it's Office
force, and the facilities Of the ma
tional offices Of the federation in Chi
cago and Washington, to consolidate
the power Of the cooperative market
ing agencies Of the state for united
action.
The executive board of the state
federation, in session last week, voted
to ask nine farm organizations to send
representatives to conference to dis
cuss common problems and the func-
tons of a joint clearinghouse. In
formal invitations are being sent to
the Central Cooperative Commission
association, the Minnesota Co-opera-
tive Creameries association, Inc, the
U. S. Grain Growers, Inc, the Mime
sofa Potato Exchange, the Twin City
Milk Producers, the Farmers Termin-
al Packing Plant, the wool growers,
the farmers mutual hail insurance Or
CARNATIONS, and the Minnesota Coop
erative Shipping association.
created such clearinghouse, accord
ing to a bulletin Of the American
Farm Bureau federation. 1t is known
as the Conference Board Of Farm Or
CARNATIONS. Several times year, the
officers and directors of the State
Farm Bureau, the Dairymen's League.
the Grange and the Fruit Growers,
meet to take united action on prob
lens affecting all farmers of the state
The last meeting discussed control of
tuberculosis in dairy cattle and legis-
lation to improve state drainage laws.
1.-The result Of the work of this con-
ference board,' fhe farm bureau bull
letin says, lis to unity the agricul-
tural thinking Of New York and ell
able all the farm organizations to
present solid 'front.'
The Minnesota Farm Bureau feder-
alton executive board, at it's March
meeting, passed resolution urging
Minnesota's delegation in congress to
support an amendment to the income
tax law, giving all cooperative or
CARNATIONS specific exemption from
payment of income taxes. At present,
the federal commissioner of internal
| revenue has ruled that surplus or re-
serve funds set aside by co-operatives
are taxable as profits. The co-opera-
tive organizations stand is that such
funds are not profits, but money be-
longing to members, and invested in
the business. The farm bureau also
appealed to the Internal revenue de-
partment to prepare special, simple
income tax report for cooperative or
CARNATIONS, so that it would be easier
to make reports required, either III
paying taxes, or to obtain exemption.

RAILROAD VALUATION
THREE BILLION TOO
HIGH SAYS BUREAU
Farm Federation Winds Up Powerful
Argument for Reduced Rates in
Government Inquiry

The valuation of the railroads OF
the United States, as fixed by the
Interstate Commerce commission for
rate-making purposes, is at least
$1,000, 100000 to high, attorneys for
the American Farm Bureau federation
declared in winding up powerful ap-
peal for immediate freight rate re-
duction, in government rate hearings
at Washington, D. c.
The arguments and evidence sub
mitted by the farm bureau in it's fight
for further rate cuts have just been
received by the Minnesota federation
headquarters in st. Paul.
In rate hearings covering an entire
month, the American Farm Bureau
federation was the only shippers or
ganization in the country to introduce
as evidence general financial analy-
sis Of railroad earning and expenses
as a basis for a demand that freight
charges be reduced still farther.
So far, agriculture has been the
only industry in the United States to
obtain a substantial rate reduction
The farm bureau is recorded as the
only farmers organization in the
country that appeared to fight for re-
duced freight rates when the govern
ment opened hearings on hay and
grain rates last fall. Rate cuts aver.
aging 10 percent resulted from the
farmers fight in this case; and i'm
mediately after the hearings ended
the farm bureau began legal action
to force further cuts in rates on all
farm products. Conferences between
off o;o1c,
leaders followed, and the net result
10 per cent in freight charges on prac-
tically every product of the American
farm. -.
Hearing just concluded in Wash
ington covered rates on hundreds OF
commodities, and opened up the way
for still further reductions.
Farm bureau attorneys pointed out
that the testimony Of the eastern rail
roads chief witness showed that in
spite of small volume of traffic, the
roads were earning 5.21 per cent on
their property investment. The prop
erty investment figures. they asserted
is $4,OOO,OOOO higher than the par
value of all the railway bonds and
stocks outstanding in the hands OF
the public, and from five to six bill
lion dollars higher than the market
value of these securities. J
THE par value of all stocks and
bonds outstanding in the hands of the
public (water and all) is approximate
~ $780, 100000 less than the tenta'
tive valuation made by the Interstate
Commerce commission" the federation
declared.
Its attorneys argued that with the
railroads earning 5.21 per cent income
ON their property investment, their
earnings on fair valuation would
amount to more than seven per cent
during the coming year. The latest
available government statistics, they
pointed out, showed that in October
1921, the value Of farm products was
only 20 per cent higher than in pre-
war times, with many products ac
tually below the prewar level, while
the railroads income per ton OF
feright hauled one mile was II per
cent higher than in 1914 and 1915.
