the farmers Of Worcester have paid
no attention to a union of interest. 1t
is to their advantage that something
should be done along this line:
Farmers of Carroll county are in
the midst of an intensive campaign
looking to the organization of coun
ty farm bureau of the American Farm
bureau Federation. The campaign is
being directed by E. c. Remsberg, q
farmer of Frederick county and mas
ter of the Pomona Grange.
Yesterday afternoon every district
oil the county was represented at a
meeting at Firemen's Hall, this city,
attended by a large number of repre-
sentative farmers of the county. AT
this meeting committees were APP
pointed and practical campaign out
lined, contemplating thorough can
vass of the county during the next 10
days and the personal solicitation OF
every farmer in the county to become
a member. Upon the completion OF
the canvass local bureau will be
formed in each Of the communities
where meetings have been held and at
other points, and after the organiza-
ton of the locals a delegate meeting
OF the locals will be held in this city
for the institution of the Carroll
County Farm Bureau and election of
officers of the county organization.

A revolution in the method of can
ring tomatoes is promised in the near
future. A machine has been perfected
which peels tomatoes better and in a
more sanitary manner than by hand.
On Thursday last dinner was CIV
er in the New Theater ballroom at
Easton, Nd, to the Gamers of the
Eastern Shore. At this gathering the
new peeler was demonstrated. If it
proves a success it will take the place
of thousands of persons who are en-
ployed every year in the canning
houses on the Shore. Some of the To-
cal Gamers have already seen the
machine and pronounced it wonderful.
Ii will probably revolutionize the to-
mato canning industry. The meeting
was arranged after the local people
became interested.

AGRICULTURE


Figures and charts on the meat in
dustry of the United States showing
that the consumption of meat is de-
ing are given in an exhibit, en-
titled livestock Statistics" by the
Jrited States Department of Agricul-
ture at the International Livestock
Exposition at Chicago, December 2
to 9.
These statistics show that the Unit
ed States, while still among the prin-
opal meat-eating nations Of the world
is undergoing a general decline both
ir per capita consumption of meat and
in the number of food animals in pro-
portion to the population. This situa-
ton is illustrated strikingly by chart
of the trend of human livestock popu-
lation in the United States from 1856
to 1922. Among live stock the mum
Der of swine is the most variable, and
sheep show the greatest general de-
cline. The relative positions of the
curves in this chart at the present
time indicate that the nation will
probably experience increasing diff
Guilty in supplying its ever-increasing
population with sufficient meat prod
ucts, and at the same time providing
surplus of these products for ex-
port.
The principal meat-eating nations
o. the world, in order of per capita
consumption, are Argentina, Aus,
tralia, and New Zealand, with the
United States fourth.
Over 2,10O Of the 1850 agricultural
countries in the United States employ
al least one agricultural extension

Of fat a day, but before he risks his
money on such cow he must find
a man dairywise who has an abun-
dance of feed, sufficient help and
stability,
Five Things 20 Consider
Let us now consider the five things
we have with us always, unexcelled
soil, sunshine, climate, men who .an
learn, and a great need.
We have a soil as rich as the val
ley of the Nile, the meadows of Hol-
land, or England's southland. We
have everlasting sunshine. a quick
asset for the dairy. We have climate
unsurpassed. Never do we expert
ence the bowling blizzard or the
paralizing cold of the northland and
neither are we delayed by long Pc
riods of mud and rain, nor the un-
certainties of crop failures We have
men who must become dairywise,
men who must work out dairy pro-
gram, not for one year, but for life,
or quit cows forever. Lastly, we have
our great need. We need the dairy
COW. She has a commanding place
in agriculture wherever prosperity
has turned to adversity. She brings
you cash money with the regularity
of the month She enriches your soil;
she takes the food that cannot be
shipped and by her wonderful pro-
cess compacts it for the markets OF
the world. Quietly in peaceful mead
ow she labors for mankind that he
Arizona republican., 1922-01-01

man must love the COW; manifestly
the man who despises the Holstein
and loves the Jersey or Guernsey
would not be dairywise to select the
Holsteins unless necessity demanded
1t.
Markets for dairy products are Of
paramount Importance. We must
have them or fail, no matter how
dairywise we may be; yet dairy wis
dom is the stepping stone, yes, the
very foundation of successful mar
keting. Creameries we have here a
plenty but they are always handi-
capped by the inferior product we
send them. II not, why does the Cali
ifornia butter sell on our local mar
kets for 10 cents a pound more than
Salt River valley butter? We can
and must produce as good butter as
California. Let us do 1t and COM
pei our neighbor to. or grade his
product accordingly.
Our fifth lack or need Is adequate
finance. If the banker or creamery
has failed us, let us consider our lack
of dairy wisdom, our changeability,
our vacillating instability, our waste
full methods, our low grade products,
our indifference to the cow. Is not
this enough to intimidate capital?
Wherever dairy wisdom prevails the
bankers are going the limit with their
customers. The creamery or bank
who finances us knows we need cows
that are capable of making two pound
