IN the territory now allotted to Turkey.
Steps have been taken in Illinois to
gather grain from the farmers and the
state farm bureau has endorsed the
movement to the extent that it is urg-
ing the farmers to donate grain and
notably corn. The relief workers are
also soliciting money and clothing TO
be gathered and sent across at the
earliest possible date.
Since the emergency arose, and the
destruction of Smyrna, relief workers
have had the task OF feeding nearl.
100000 destitute people daily. Corn
grits are in great demand, since i
forms the chief part of the refugees
ration. man who has just returned
| from the land of the suffering" says
that during last winter the monthly
ration for a child was six cups OF
| rice, six cups of beans, and twelve cups
| of corn grits. This relief worker, Cliff
| ford Jackman, of Chicago, says that q
bushel of corn will go a long ways
and that the farmer who gives a few
bushels will prevent much suffering
and many lives.
This movement to give to aid the
suffering will not stop in Illinois, but
will quickly spread over the country
We are assured that our Indiana far
mers will meet this crisis with liberia
donations and in the open handed man
ner for which the state is noted The
| call to do so may now be expected
at any time.
Egg Circles and Sales.
| Useless to deny the fact that we
have harvested a whaling big crop oil
! eggs since April 1, or that our sum
mer egg prices were much below those
of 1921. There are at this writing
millions of cases of eggs in cold stor
age, although many cold storage eggs
are sold in all large cities daily.
Because of this great crop of eggs
numerous egg circles have been form
ed here and there for the cooperative
marketing of eggs. The most recon
case coming. under our observation
are those of four Wisconsin counties
Jefferson, Portage, Juneau andOconto
where egg circles have now been es
tablished, for uniformity of eggs ant
| cooperative selling.
These farmers are going on thf
| theory that if all the neighbors in thu
| ring will keep the same breed of chick
! ems, so that the eggs produced viii
run uniform as to size and color this
will go a long ways toward solvinf
their marketing problem and will in
sure better than average prices. Thii
| they found could not be done, unless
they co-operated and agreed to worl
with their neighbors along some def
mite line.
