HEAD OF AMERICAN FARM BUREAU
FEDERATION ASSERTS FARMER CAN
LOOK FORWARD TO BANNER YEAR

New York, March 23.-"Farmers
can look forward to 1922 as ban
ner year. The sign in the heavens
heraIding agricultural emancipa-
ton at last ssas appeared"
That comes from James r How
ard. president of the American
Farm Bureau Federation, nation
wide organization with national
headquarters here.
Howard speaks as the recog-
nized mouthpiece of a vast network
OF coordinated county farm chap
tiers that stretch from coast to
coast and number as members
more than 100000 farmers.
"A study of trends in farm prices
show the beginning OF the new year
marked a turn in the tide for ag-
ricu1ture," Howard says.
Heads of great mail order
houses see a better business out
look. Federal Reserve governors
have begun to smile again.
Business Picking Up.
This means to agriculture-tne
basic industry-that things are
really picking up.
Figures obtained from research
work show sheep have advanced 90
per cent in price since the low
point in 1921, eggs, 76.7; apples,
1913; cotton, 1913; lambs, 1913;
beans, 6.15; wool, 56.8; hogs, Az;
kafir, 1855; cheese, 46.4; butter,
46.1; fax, 1913; poultry, 1873; rye,
27.2; barley, 25.5S; wheat, 23.1;
corn, 20.4; oats, 1885,; steers, III;
and hay, 7.8 per cent.
These upward trends have not
been reflected excessively on the
consumer.
1T is the supreme duty of the
nation to get the farmer on his
feet. This seems to have been real
lied quite fully in legislative and
other endeavors made to render as
sistance.
II predict that in 1922 you will
hear more and more about CO.
operative marketing, an instrument
the farmer has seized on as a
means to aid himself by first aid
ing the consumer.
1T is not without reason to say
that the near future will see the
farmer selling his wheat, corn,
livestock, tobacco, vegetables and
milk directly to the consumer.
THE farmer looks forward to
helping the public by elimination
of profit-robbing middlemen, bring
ing a fair return of profit to him
self without imposing price hard
ships.

LOST AVIATORS
MAKE LANDING
NEAR MILLERS
Army AirpIaneS Forced Across
Barren County While En-
Route to San Francisco.

One of the widest and most un.
certain journeys ever made by avia.
tors fell to the lot of Captain R. G
Erwin commanding, with Captain W
A. Beyan, observer and Lieutenant
C. L. Weber, with Lieutenant J. P.
Rector, observer, who made a
forced landing yesterday afternoon
on the dry lake one mile north of
Mnlers, and u miles west of Tono-
pah, with their 45O-horsepower army
airplanes.
The planes left Rockwell. field, San
Diego, at 12:15 yesterday afternoon,
bound for San Francisco, and ar
rived at Los Angeles at 12:45, leay-
ing that city Immediately. Driven
out of their course by the high wind
and terrific dust that filled the at
mosphere, the ayiators were unable
to determine their whereabouts by
reason Of the fact that their com
passes were out OF order
They were still under the. impress,
sion when they landed that they
were still in California, although the
sight OF mines and mills caused a
great deal of wonderment
The trip from Los Angeles to
Tonopah occupied just three hours
and 80 minutes, and they probably
travelled 500 miles, whipped by a
terrific wind that sometimes made
them feel alarmed concerning their
safety. The aviators Travelled at the
average rate of about $50 miles an
hour, which is 20 miles faster than
the planes can accomplish in or
binary quiet weather.
The air forces had been delegated
to locate air ways from Rockwell
fled to San Diego and San Fran
cisco. When their compasses went
out of order following leaving Los
Angeles they passed over Mohaye
Iesert. The dust at this point was
so dense that all views Of the earth
were obscured and the planes scared
to a height of several thousand feet
After crossing Mohave desert they
struck Death Valley and crossed ths
chasm midst intense coldness, al
though they were clad only in sum
mer apparel Next they passed
Beatty, and spying the railroad
tracks they continued along this
course until they discovered the
white surface of dry flat, one mile
north of Millers, where they af-
fected landing.
The machines were overhauled
last night and this morning and sup
piled with oil and gas, and shorty
after o'clock the aviators started
on their journey to San Francisco.

only after great exertion on the part
Of the people that the blaze was
placed under control, 1t became
necessary to tear down two or three
structures in order to combat the
