waterway; short selling in agricultural

At another time when the Joint Com
mission of Agricultural Inquiry wanted
some real evidence from the farms, the
Farm Bureau held county hearings in
every organized section and got real facts
and figures from farmers, bankers, sheriffs,
school teachers, preachers. dealers, etc.
There is no inner political enclosure
leaving the mere member out in the coh
in this organization. There is no holy of

ready to greet the next ore with glad
hand. There is work enough for every
one. The greatest work of all, the work
for which the national organization
primarily exists. lies in the township in

Cooperation within the ranks is the
thing about the Farm Bureau that speaks
most for tie organization. In no other
oFganization of its size is the individual
member so important; in the Farm Bureau
there is no recognition of interiors or
.upesiors. If there is final authority it
the man on the farm. He elects the
efhcers, hires the experts, and directs the
policies. 1t is not dependent upon the
Personality of any one human. No

ordination the various wool pools. On
February /, 1921, c. J. Fawcett took
took over the department, dividing his
time equally between the American Farm
Bureau Federation and the National Wool
Warehouse and Storage Company, a
growers selling agency located in Chicago,
which has pioneered in the cooperative
method of marketing wool.
Since the creation OF the department,
sixteen organization meetings have been
held in sixteen states, and eighteen states
used the wool pool in marketing the 1921
clip, or pooled such portions of the states
production rs was controlled by their
organization. The fundamental principle
underlying the direct from the grower to
the consumer method of marketing is to
make use of established farm bureaus for
collecting products and shipping to con-
centration points economically located.
Logical concentration points which have
been recommended are Chicago, Ill.
Houston, Texas; Columbus, Ohio; Wheel
ing, West Va; Lansing, Mich; Syracuse,
n. y; Portland, Ore. These Concentra-
ton points are to be in charge of efficient
sales agencies with well established repu-
tations in the wool trade, who are COM
pletely divorced from buying or specula-
ting in wool.

Farmers Milling & Grain Co.
Endorses Great Lakes
To the Sea

The plan to doctor the St. Lawrence
river so that ocean ships can dock and
unload at Chicago, Duluth and other Lake
ports of the middle west is a present
protege of the American Farm Bureau.
Farmers are enthusiastic, for it is reducing
the rail haul and then by cutting the
freight charges will give them more for
their products. Grain can be delivered
without expensive transfer to other car
riers, to all ends of the world. Trans
portation by water is five times as cheap
as by rail. 1t is figured that middle west
wheat can be laid down on the Liverpool
markets ten cents bushel cheaper than
it can now.
) 1t is proposed that the United States
and Canada cooperate in this great
undertaking, sharing in an initial ex-
pense of SIS, 72S,000 for deepening the
st. Lawrence river and enlarging the
canals around its rapids. Engineers have
figured that the hydro-electric power that
will be subsequently developed can pay
for the whole project in fifty years.
Transportation is prohibitively costly
at the present time because the crowded
condition of New York and other At
lantic seaports necessitates much ware
housing and loading and unloading Of
goods at those terminals.
The addition of new seaports would
relieve this congestion. By building a
canal across Illinois from Lake Michigan
at Chicago to the Mississippi river at ST.
Louis, the United States would automat-
icalIy create seaports at Kansas City,
Memphis. New Orleans, Louisville. Gin
cinnati. Minneapolis. st. Paul. Milwaukee,
Chicago. Duluth, St. LOUIS, Detroit.
Columbus and Buffalo, IT is estimated
that the saving to the farmers OF the rich
middle west would run up into the bill
hons OF dollars year.

Continuing in absolute control of the
wool until actually sold directly to the
mills and thus saving greater portion Of
the consumers dollar for the grower,
eighteen states are marketing co-opera-
lively 27,0o3,000 pounds of wool from
eight concentration points. More than
10000, 900 pounds of wool have been
pooled altogether.
One of the main obstacles has been that
wool growers have not had the proper
support of bankers and the Federal Re-
serve System in financing their wool for
longtime holding. Wool is sheared from
the sheep in very short time, but is
marketed to mill consumption throughout
the whole year; therefore it must be con-
centrated in large graded lines, as recog-
nized by the American wooden mills, which
requires warehousing facilities on a broad
scale.
In legislative way, the various pool
growers organizations are using the Office
of the American Farm Bureau Federation
as an avenue through which to work and
unity their efforts in securing legislation
that will protect their best interests, such
as Truth-in-Fabric and permanent tariff.
As result of the Emergency Tariff, im-
portations OF foreign wool have decreased
from an average of 100000 pounds =
month, from January, 1921, to May u,
1921, to about 100000 pounds per
month; decrease of about IS per cent in
importations, while the consumption Of
domestic wool has increased approx
mately 100 per cent over the same period
in 1920.
