TIMOTHY SEED GROWERS
Forming Marketing Association, Ma.
tional in Scope, Started in Iowa.

F! 1t is not generally known that To-
wa farmers thresh IN a normal year
from 5O,OOO,OoO to 6O,OOo,OOO pounds
of timothy seed, or from 1900 10 q
900 car loads, which is about 500
of all the timothy seed raised in
America. And Winneshiek county
stands third on the list of the coun-
ties producing the largest quantity.
1t seems natural therefor, that
DEBORAH man should take the lead in
assisting the farmers to market
their crop of timothy seed along bust
ness lines and modern methods in
order to reduce marketing expenses
which the farmer has borne the brunt
of, to eliminate some of the specula-
tive element and bring the grow
| er a more equitable price for his
product. This will be accomplished
through the Timothy Seed Grower
Cooperative Marketing Association,
now being formed by the farmers of
Iowa, Minnesota and Missouri, an
nouncement Of which has just been
made by Frank w. Mas, of Decorah,
who has largely been instrumental in
bringing the matter to an issue, after
several months working and travel
ing to secure the desired co-opera-
ton of the several factors needed to
assure its success. California grow
ers. have made money, because they
have made study of the methods of
the Steel Corporation and have APP
piled its system of marketing to
farm products. The same thing can
be done and will be done by the farm
ers of every part of the country. 1t
has been the habit of farmers to
dump their products wherever it was
grown, thus creating gigantic over
supply at a time when it was not
needed or in a place where it was not
needed, and then to wait for specula
tors and others to come along and
take it aawy from them at the prices
likely to prevail in a glutted market.
The marketing of seeds has suffer
ed along with that of other products,
until recently we have seen formed
some gigantic pools by the growers
such as the Burley Tobacco Growers
Association, the Orchard Grass Grow
ers Marketing Association of Ken
lucky and Indiana, the Alfalfa Seed
Growers, the Kentucky Blue Grass
Growers Associations and many 9TH
ers.
Mr.. Mas has perfected arrange
ments for the storage, grading, clean
ling and marketing of the country's
timothy seed crop through this asso-
citation and cleaning plants located at
Ia nan puzsn iff aaA..t= .neyirrUs i'm tirs
West and East, as well as facilities
for exporting some of the seed to
Europe, have been arranged for, to-
. gether with financial connections
:, which will permit the members 10
draw cash advance or loan or
their seed soon as it is delivered tC
=. the warehouses and then sell it wher
, the market conditions are most fav
orable for it to be sold.
The first meetings will be announc
ed in a few days; one to be held TO,

So society is busy planning it's spring entertainments and other out of door entertainments that go to make the little season" in Washington always SO delightful.
 The little season, that period of social activity that starts with Easter and usually extends through May, will be here in another fortnight. And It is going to be very gay season, judging from all the invitations al- ready out and from plans being form ed. It will have an suspicious start. too by state reception at the White House, the army and navy reception which was postponed because of the Roma disaster and for which about 1000 invitations were issued. Then there are to be balls, private ones and others fox charity and charity fetes of every kind and description and lots of good times. in short.
 Conventions Plentiful
 Then spring always brings all sorts of conventions and congresses and gatherings of various sorts to town. Washington is extremely popular as 9 convention city-naturally because of it's historical interest and also it's beauty-at all seasons of the year but particularly in the spring when 1t is at its very best. Washington in May is lovely beyond words, with it's many beautiful parks and its famous avenue of gorgeous Towering cherry

 But meanwhile Lent we still have with us. though you'd never know it to read the society columns; not even does society stop on Sundays in Lent.

Two were in compliment to our popular minister to Poland and his bride, Mir. and Mrs. Hugh Gibson. who are here on their honeymoon.

The Secretary of State and Mrs. Hughes, for one, gave a dinner last Monday as a farewell to the former Under Secretary of State and Mrs. Henry F. Fletcher, who sail cd today for Belgium where Mir Fletcher will be our ambassador. Tuesday, Secretary and Mrs Hughes were the guests of honor at dinner given by the Swiss Minister and Nine Peter Senator and Mrs. Arthur Cap per gave them a dinner Thursday and today the Minister of Bulgaria and Mime.

 In reference to Mir. Voe's desire to present better dance music as Paul Whiteman has done it may be re- marked in passing that music critics give Paul Whiteman the credit largely with his music for the wave of improvement now sweeping over tho country in dancing and dance music.
