To Aid Orderly Marketing
A bill was introduced In congress
last week to aid in orderly market
ing" and which has the backing OF
the finance corporation and the fed
eral reserve board The bill provides
that notes drawn for an agricultural
purpose, or based on live stock, may
be rediscounted by the federal reserve
banks with maturity of not exceed
ing six months.
This is in accordance with the
present law. The bill provides fur
Their however, that where agricul-
tural paper is secured by warehouse
receipts covering readily marketable
and nonperishable agricultural prod
ucts, 1t may be eligible for rediscount
for maturity not exceeding nine
months.
Loans on feeder stock as distin-
guished from loans on breeding herds
are also eligible for rediscount with
maturity not exceeding nine months.
A Cigar Leaf Pool
1t now looks as if the Miami valley
cigar leaf growers are to get together
on a sales organization in time to
handle the next crop. The feeling that
the tobacco men should pool and stick
together is growing and committee
headed by Frank Blackford, of Edo
RADIO, will soon visit the headquarters
of Kentucky hurley pool, to get line
on the actual workings of the pool and
| the results to date The hurley pool
has made sales of millions of pounds
and not long since divided 100000
among growers. From all reports
reaching this office the pool in hurley
tobacco practically covers all growers
and is doing satisfactory service in
warehousing and selling. All the to
bacco states are almost certain to or
ganize pools according to the charac
ter of their crops, within year OF
| two, judging from all indications.
/ A Notable Hog Bulletin
/ While we have not yet received {
! copy of North Dakota bulletin No
| 156, devoted to the personality anC
psychology of the great American
hog. We hope to be able to give oul
readers some dope" from this bulle
tin a little later In the meanwhile
we are quoting the editorial common
of Wallaces Farmer, anent this sub
i ject:
"From the viewpoint of practica
hog breeders and feeders, Bulletin Is,
entitled The Northern Pig From
! Birth to Market, written by Prof. J
! H. Shepperd, and recently published
by the North Dakota Experiment Sta
ton, is the most readable, interesting
and instructive combination of facts
humor, and wise Interpretation of tn
} behavior of pigs that we have read. |
is based on experiments, and the ar
of herdsman d. ]. Geiken. referred t
} by Prof. Shepperd as Daddy Geiken.
The text is excellently illustrated
/, Daddy Geiken," who knows hogs in
timately as individualities, wit

Prof. Shepperd, who records his cor

learned He believes that success Il
practicing the art of feeding AM

tricities of hogs. Prof. Shepperd'
