ORDER TREES NOW

Tree planting time will soon be
here. If trees or shrubs are to be
planted this spring, it would be well
to begin planning on the variety and
number necessary. Western Kansas
needs more trees. It is truly re-
markable the changes which can be
wrought in the general appearance of
a farmstead by the planting of a few
trees and shrubs. Groves of trees
planted now will supply fence posts
and rough timber for farm needs in
a very few years. The price of lum-
Der and posts is not going to drop
much, because the national timber
supply is gradually being used up
and an insufficient number of trees
are being planted for replacement.
The Fort Hays Experiment Station
is furnishing trees to the farmers Of
Western Kansas at very minimum
cost. The 1922 Nursery Catalogue
and Price List is just off the press
and copies will be mailed immediate
ly, if a request is directed to the
Superintendent, at Hays, Kansas.
The supply Of trees Of many vari-
cites is not as large this year as usual.
To avoid disappointment in orders,
it is therefore suggested that orders
be made up and sent in as early as
possible.

as suited to the farming industry as
our present credit system is suited to
the purposes and needs of commerce.
The conference is an effort to line
up sentiment that we may get quick
and united action on a program for
the relief and establishment of our
sick agriculture. It is an expeditions
way of focusing national attention
strongly on vital matter, of open
ing the eyes of certain vested inter
ests to the fact that they are in the
same boat with agriculture and had
best help with the oars instead of try
ing to rock the boat.
The kind of program that the con-
ference should evolve, and 1 believe
will evolve, will first of all call for an
immediate reduction of excessive
freight rates with repeal of the So
called six per cent guarantee clause
of the Transportation Act on which
the Interstate Commerce Commission
bases its authority to increase state
rates. Business and national welfare
demand this quite as much as agri-
culture. It is especially necessary
that farm products should be trans
ported at the lowest possible rate.
As a means to obtaining fair and
open markets for all farm products,
free from manipulation and hold-ups
by spectators and middIemen, there
should be full legal authority for CO.
operative marketing by farmers, as
it is given them in the Volstead-Cap-
per bill. It is the judgment of almost
every practical-minded economist that
in lowering the cost of distribution we
must begin at the farm, using as a
means better farm organization both
in production and marketing.
Fully as vital, is an adequate sys-
tenn of credit for farmers and live
stock men, through shOrt-time and
longtime loans, adapted to the pecul-
lar conditions of the farming business
as provided for in the Strong-Capper
Rural Credit bill for broadening and
strengthening the Federal Farm Loan
System.
In this proposed legislation, provi-
sion is made for creating a public
warehouse system and negotiable
warehouse receipts, that farmers may
have the same credit accommodations
now afforded all other business men
and not BE compelled to dump theil
products on a glutted market.
The public and the wool growers
should be protected from the unfair
competition of shoddy goods, with
woolens, as through the proposed
French-Capper Truth-in-Fabrics bill
1t also is necessary to protect the
farmers of this country against free
importation of agricultural products
grown in other, countries on cheap
land by cheap labor.
A good and less wasteful distribu-
ton system must be provided through
the development of transportation
facilities, including water and rail
routes and inland roads.
There must be a continuation OF
the efforts of the War Finance Cor
poration to arrange credits which will
enable European nations to import
what they need of our surplus farm
products.
These merely are the high lights IN
the general problem. Instead of COM
pelling our forty million tenant ano
land-owning farmers to fOrsake the
farm. it seems to me that everything
saneIy and sensibly possible to make
American agriculture permanent and
progressive, should be the foremost
policy of our progressive Nation.

oNE-THIRD OF A MILLIONl
c. G. Cochran, General Oh


Ellis County and the College Win.
Ellis county's quota was 100000
and she oversubscribed it to the
amount of S32,282. Other delayed
reports and slight additional sub
scriptions will bring the total amount
up to a third of million dollars. The
important thing now is the assurance
by Bishop Tief that ground will be
broken as soon as possible, and that
work on the first unit of the new col
lege will at once follow.
The site has not yet been announc-
ed, but it is confidently expected that
it will shortly be selected. Wherever
it may be, we are sure that it will not
only be easily accessible, but it will
also be an ornament to the city and
an enduring monument to the gener-
Gus and enterprising people of Ellis
county.

A Big Thing by Big Hearted-PeOPle
The citizens of Ellis county have
done a wonderful thing. 1t IS doubt
full if the result of the campaign just
closed has ever been equaled in the
history of this, or any other country.
But this thing is only beginning.
Other things will develop from time
to time, and with that quick, hearty
response for which her people are
noted, Ellis county will go onward
and onward The sleeping giant is
awake, and has only now realized his
power. Never again will the men
and women of this community say cit
can't be done" without first thinking
carefully. And then they will go
ahead and show that can be done by
doing it.
