GROUP TO IMPROVE SOIL.
Lime Crushers To BE Purchased by
Community Is Farm Plan.

Manhattan, Kan, April 1S-Com-
munity lime crushers are being con-
sidered by the farmers OF Crawford
county as an economical means OF
supplying lime for their soils.
Nearly all of the soils of the east
ern one-third of Kansas are in need
of life, especially those of the south
eastern part, where there is a rela-
lively high degree of acidity. The
general use OF lime has been limited
by its cost, due to high freight and
long hauls.
w. L. Taylor, county agent of Craw-
ford county, and committee of farm
ers. have made study of the situa-
ton and their conclusion was in favor
of community lime crushers as a
means Of making lime available to
the farmers at a much cheaper cost
than the present.
The plan is to organize a group of
farmers who will purchase a crushing
outfit which will be set at an outcrop
of limestone, located centrally for q
sub-group- This Sub-group will grind
its supply, then turn the crusher over
to another sub-group. and so on. The
expenses and labor are to be proper
toned to the amount of lime taken by
each farmer
1t is estimated that the cost will be
reduced from IS to 80 per cent below
the present price and that the hauls
VIII be shortened about 80 per cent

Agricultural
"BLoc" Is PoLUer
To Worry Some

As we have said before, the best
way for the farmer to know that he
is getting somewhere is to hear the
complaints made by interest who
prefer to keep him just where he
has been for 100 years raising
wheat, corn, oats, cotton, hogs and
cattle, getting enough for each crop
to encourage him in raising another,
and no more. Almost any day in
any newspaper or magazine you can
now read articles directed against the
agricultural bloc" in the national
congress, these complaints coming
from the interests who feel their IN
fluence in congress slipping.
Recently the New York Times
printed an editorial criticising mem
bers of the national congress who
have been active in the farm bloc"
movement, in which they make the
charge of class legislation and COM
plain that under such an influence
the party in power cannot carry out
it's pledges made to the people during
the campaign.
However, in this editorial the
Times gives the farmer the satisfac-
ton of knowing that the Farm Bu-
reau is accomplishing results. 1t
says, in part:
"The mind of the nation Is set
against control of legislation by cap
ital or labor or farmers or any other
class. The country put the Repup-

In THE EFFICIENCY
CONTEST BY SCOUTS

Considerable interest has develop
ed in the efficiency contest now be-
ing conducted by the Roosevelt coun-
ell. Boy Scouts OF America. Troops
have been sending reports to head
quarters and other troops have been
rushing to prepare themselves to
make a good showing. The contest
opened on March Is and will con-
tinue to May 80. and a handsome
banner is to be awarded to the troop
which makes the greatest improve
ment in the general efficiency of its
work.
The standings for the first week

Troop 5, Phoenix, 226 points; Troop

One of. the features Of the last
meeting of the Buckeye troop was
the presentation to Scoutmaster !. H..
Parkman OF $3.50. earned by the
boys in the troop by hauling wood
from the desert. The money was
presented to Mr.. Parl1man by one of
the boys who told him it was a
token of their appreciation and that
they would like to have him purchase
himself a scoutmaster's uniform and
insignia with the money.
The Buckeye troop helped clean up
the town sometime ago by grubbing
out brush that had grown in the
way. and last week the boys in the
troop burned the brush as the fin
ishing touch to their good turn.

Of being the first of the local troops
to cook an "imu" Imu is a pig
roasted according to the Hawaiian
style and properly done is delicious.
A hole is dug in the ground and is
filled with rocks. A fire is then
lighted and when the stones have
become very hot the pig is put into
the hole and covered with the rocks.
The whole thing is then covered with
wet burlap and covered with about
six inches of soil In about two and
one half hours the pig is dug up.
and is deliciously roasted.
All those who attended the hike
on which the imu was prepared de-
clared it was the best ever.
Troop 6, which meets at the VIII
son school, has planned a trip to the

and tests in signaling and camp

PRINCIPLE IN
MOVEMENT Of
FARM BUREAU

Plain facts. uncolored by any rosy
hue of unwarranted optimism, were
given by Governor Lowden Of IL
linios. before an audience which
taxed the capacity Of the Horticult-
ural building assembly hall. Speak
ing straight from the shoulder, he
pointed a picture of the agricultural
condition of the United States and of
the changes which must be made to
restore a balance between agricul-
ture and industry.
THE farmer has seen the prices
Of what he produces approach the
pre- war level and in some cases fall
below it," said he. AT the same
time he has paid double the freight
rates which he paid before the war,
and from 40 to 175 per cent more
for practically everything he buys.
The deflation hit him first and hard
est of all.
The farmer feels that he has a
genuine grievance. He believes that
the prices of his products, as COM
pared with the prices of other COM
modities. before the war, were fixed
by the operation Of the natural eco
nomic Flaw OF supply and demand.
He now sees that balance shattered,
and naturally he thinks there is
something wrong with the distribu-
tion and marketing Of his products.
Ills instructive feeling that prog
ress lies along the line of CO. oper-
ative marketing has good foundation.
If some farm organizations, because
they have undertaken too much or
because they have not been ably
managed, have failed. it is no reason
why farmers should be discouraged
from further cooperative efforts.
The largest promise of success in CO.
operative marketing is in taking To-
cal cooperative enterprises. already
formed and successfully operating,
and combining, these in their several
fields, applying the principle of fed
GRAFTON The farm burean movement
enlbodying this principle Of the sep
arate units and their federation, is
the best promise and proof Of the
success which such types of coop
erative marketing viii have.

To Retailers In
New York CITY

The following are paragraphs from
an address given before the National
Retail Dry Goods association, New
York city, by United States Secretary
of Agriculture, Henry c. Wallace last
week:
Retailers ought to be especially
interested in every sensible effort to
get farming back onto sound basis
Farmers and their families number
about forty per cent of the popula-
ton. Their ability to buy is governed
by what they get for their products.
A better adjustment of farm produc-
ton, more staple prices for farm pro-
ducts, cheaper and better methods Of
marketing farm crops, ample credit
for productive purposes in short,
everything which promotes better
farming and better marketing. ought
to have the enthusiastic support of
retailers and business men generally,
because it viii result in larger buying
power of this forty per cent. :.
MANY people seem to have the
notion that most of the farmers Of
the Corn Belt states plunged in land
speculation during the war years.
That is a mistake. Probably farm
