CORY RANcHER WANTS TO
KNOW A FEW THINGS

L.. E. Bennett, Cory rancher, re-
ceived a circular letter from Mr.. G.
]. Morton, chief of the Denver sta
ton, bureau OF chemistry. q. S.. De-
partment of agriculture, to which he
makes the following reply:
Mr. G. ]. Morton, y
Chief Denver Station,
Denver, Colorado.
Dear Sir:
In acknowledging receipt of your let
ter of Aug. 16, as per your request.
wish to ask If your bureau has taken
into consideration what an expense
will be attached to the careful wip-
ing" of the pear and apple crop of
the fruit growing sections of the coun-
try?
For instance, what labor and ex-
pense wiping ten to twenty thousand
boxes of fruit AS for complying with
the Federal food and drug act, refer
red to, no producer has an objection
to offer. But when it comes to
state law compelling him to put the
-"arsenate of lead" on his crops, then
federal law compelling him to take
1t off, 1t reminds the writer of the
ancient story of the Egyptians, COM
pelling the Hebrews to make bricks
without straw.
And the question naturally arises
are all these bureaus. commissions
and inspections with their multiplicity
of conflicting opinions and big army
Of inspectors all in the best interest
of all the people. or is part, at least
done to create positions for 'favorite
sons" and lame ducks?" II the form
er let us have more of tiff the lat,
ter, let us pause and contemplate
where we are drifting.
Be the motive what It may the net
results obtained up to the present
time have been to make food stuff
more expensive to produce, the prices
being already below the cost Of pro-
1uction, while the consumer pays
more. For instance, at the present
line the potato grower Of Western
Colorado gets CSC for 80 per cent of
his crop and compelled to leave 20
per cent in the field. The consumers
of Oklahoma and Texas pay 6 to 10
cents per pound for them. Again, 90 |
Yer cent Of the peach crop perished
n the orchards. The grower got from
IS to 40 cents for what he sold. Con. |
'umers pay $3.50 to a per bushel.
Two cars Of peaches loaded at our
tation. with seven inspectors pres
mt.
It seems apparent that we, as a ma
ion. or as a people, have far greater
roblems confronting US than any of
of poinoning from "arse-
ate of lead 'on fruit, as we usually

er cent inert matter. Arsena,e on
le fruit is small as to be absolutely
armless to any living organism larg-
: than a worm, and otter proves
armless to 1t.
However, should arsenate of lead
rove harmful in any degree, the pro-
lcers are ready to remove same from
uit. But at the present time It
sems to me that our government
,uld be interesting itself much more
to the transportation and
Of food stuffs. and which
by far the greatest problem con-
onting the American people today.

What Is ! Picture Erams7

Picture frames are frequently too
ornate. The simpler they are the less
they attract attention from the pic
ture itself. They should become a
part of the picture and not a separate
picture in themselves. Color, how
ever, may be used to advantage and
any simple wooden frame may be
painted in oil paint to match some
tone of the picture. Ordinarily this
is better than to have the frame
harmonic with the woodwork of the
room.

SECRECY DESTROYED.
Primary Voters Must Ask for RepubIi-

MONTPELIER. Sept. Town clerks
viii find that the laws of 1927 regarding
the conducting Of a primary election are
very materially changed and that it viii
be well for them to make close study
of the laws. Some clerks and attorneys
claim that the secrecy of the form of
ballot that has been used for years. has
been destroyed by the recent act. 1t is
now provided that when voter ap-
whether he wants a Republican or Demo
cratic ballot as the case may be and
that the clerk shall give him the one
called for. Under the old laws these
several parties were all on one piece of
paper. but it is claimed now that they
must be on separate papers. T. r. Mer-
those who has had an attorney construe
the act for him.

PRODUCTION OF EGGS

Chickens are fast asleep. Enter
West with big pans of corn. On goes
the lights in a binding flash, and
chickens, galvanized into action, dig

Feeding them at this time of the
night increases egg production, West
asserts.
West has $50 White Leghorns. AT

out, and the chickens go back TO roost.
This is the way it works, says West:

In discussion of farm prices and
farm conditions generally at Louis
Vile, on Saturday, Godfrey Morgan,
secretary of the Kentucky State farm
bureau, said: Nobody but a crazy
man would undertake to make pre-
dictions at this time in regard to the
! future of agriculture
! In concluding his remarks Mr.. Nor
! gan stated that the bright spot in the
! situation lies in the fact that the
eyes of all farmers are turned toward
cooperative marketing, which is
bound to be most helpful to farmers
and will be equally helpful to the con
Stunning public" He cited the organ
ization of the Burley tobacco growers
of the dairymen in northern Kentucky,
that of the sweet potato growers and
| of the numerous live stock shipping
associations, scattered all over the
state He said that sheep men who
thought last year when fat ewes touch
ed three cents at Louisville, that the
bottom had been reached. They are
now selling at a maximum of two and
one-half cents, the sheep men are quit
ting the business, and it looks bad fol-

RAINS, MILD WEATHER
PROVE BENEFICIAL
TO WHEAT AND RYE
(By Associated Press)


INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. Good rains
and mild weather have proved bene-
fetal to growing wheat and rye in In
diana. according to the semi-monthly
report of George c. Bryant, agricul-
tural statistician for Indiana to the
United States department of agricul
ture, made public here today. He
adds that both the wheat and rye
crops will go into the winter in splen-
did condition. The report continues:
Temperatures averaged somewhat
above normal for the period and pre-
cipitation was excessive in some sec
tions causing many streams to over
flow their banks and do considerable
damage in bottom lands and wagon
roads.
Corn husking is practically com
pleted but corn is moving to the mar
ket very slowly. Prices are slightly
better than last month and trading
among farmers continue fairly good.
| Heavy feeders are doing their buying
now.
Butchering Progresses.
! "Butchering and other firm work
| progressed faVOrably.
| Potatoes continues to hold fair
price but farmers generally have none
to sell.
Pastures and roughage continue to
furnish some feed and young clover is
| looking better than usual for this sea
son of the year.
! But little tobacco has been sold to
date. Most of the Burley producers
have joined the Kentucky Growers as
ISOLATION and are waiting for better
prices.
"All live stock is in good condition );
but little fat stuff is left on the farms
Farm labor supply is considerably
| in excess of the demand, as farmers
are doing most of their own work"

DINNER And PROGRAM

BY POMONA GRANGE

ELDORADO, Ohio, Jan. 2. = The

Grange in the Monroe schoolhouse Sat

LOCAL YARDS EXPECT
SCARCITY AND HIGHER
MARKET FOR HOGS

The eight car. loads of stock receiv-
ed at the Glen Miller stock yards the
last week of the year consisted of
618 hogs of weight of 12S,500 pounds
and value of $1o.0559o, and 43 veal
calves valued at $500. The So market
during the first part of the week.
brought in several large punches of
hogs.
Some of the larger deliveries were
made by Lon Harris of Green's Fork,
with "a head; Adam Eby, Boston, 70;
George Miller, 40; A. S. Parant, Crete,
80; Sam Gable, Centerville, As; o. E.
Love, Lynn. 80; Jesse Plankenhorn,
Green's Fork, 80; C. H. Duke, Hollans-
burg, %; Everett White, Arba, 33.
Other deliveries were made by Park
Elwood, Harry Newman, L. A. Hill.

Hill, OF Rich, J. A. Mcclure, Isaac
Ramey. ID. r. Funk, William Erik,
w P. Bond, Ed Deitemeyer, and Glen
Love
Practically ali the butcher hogs
have been sold off in this neighbor-
hood, said Rome Shurley, Monday.
The hog cholera scare, combined with
the high cost of vaccinating induced
many farmers to let their hogs go,
even though they were not finished .
1T is probable that similar scare
lty exists in other hog producing
states, as Indiana only had a seven
per cent loss from hog cholera against
an eight to 10 per cent loss in states
farther west. We expect scarcity and
a higher market for butcher hogs in
January and February
"On the other hand, commission
merchants in their letters state that
large number of feeders were bought
by farmers in the western states as
an outlet for their cheap corn, and
they believe that a large number OF
hogs are in reserve on these farms,
although no definite figures are avail
able
An instance of the surprises pos
sible in the hog market was cited by
Mr. Shurley in story of a two-cent
drop in the Pittsburgh quotations be-
| tween the time hogs could be started
from Richmond and the time they
would arrive in Pittsburgh. The
yards had bought 470 head of a total
weight of 20S,120 pounds while the
| price was up.
