Many Problems Face Farmer
But Marketing and Finance
Most Important.
BY II. c. MCKENZIE.
Member Executive Committee of
American Farm Bureau Federation


American Farm Bureau Federation
One of the problems. the solution
Of which is Of vital importance TO the
whole country. is the present de-
pressed condition OF agriculture.
The agricultural problem has many
angles but prices. finance, transpor-
tation. and marketing are among the
most important.
II is evident TO all students OF the
subject that agriculture has been de
fiated beyond most other industries
and that while the farmers prices
are on pre-war basis, his purchas-
ing power is only about SO per cent
of what il was in pre-war times
The problem presented is how to
get back the farmers purchasing
power 10 100 per cent q
Much Lower Cost.
There seems to he little hope OF in
creaSing the price 10 the consumer
and being able 20 compete in world
markets so that question resolves it
self into the lowering Of costs be-
tween the producer and consumer:
by lower transportation costs and by
more efficient methods Of distribu-
tion: one of these is cooperative
marketing
Most business enterprises reduced
10 their lowest terms consist Of two
main parts: production and sales.
Large concerns add many others to
their organization; engineering, pur-
chasing. accounting. but the most
vital factors are production and
sales. Without economic production
and an efficient sales organization,
no business can prosper.
An Efficient Producer.
The farmer is an efficient producer.
II any of you doubt II look around
you az the successful men from the
city who have gotten the land hunger
and gone and. gotten a farm and are
running l. in competition with the
average dirt farmer; nine times out
Of ten. if these men keep books, at
the end Of the year the balances are
in red.
The banks are full Of loans secured
by mortgages on the orchards and
vineyards that could not be foreclos-
ed for anything like face value.
The farmers had been experiment
ing with cooperative marketing as
sOciations but always the dealers sue
ceeded in pulling out enough mem
bers to queer the deal and Fresno,
the center Of the raisin and fruit
industry, was said to be the deadest
place in the world: then in despera-
tioE the farmers and the bankers got
together and formed a cooperative

GROW YOUR LIVING

Pigs, Chickens, Cows and
Limestone Should Not Be
Overlooked on Farm.
BY II. W. DAVIS
Stark County Agricultural Agent

We believe that the program
adapted by the Farm Bureau for
1922 will do much toward setting
the general public in a normal con-
dition. For a long time we have
preached pigs. chickens and cows
when talking on livestock and lime
stone is never overlooked when
dealing with soil problems. These
are the outstanding problems and
the safest and steadiest sources Of
income are from the cow, the hen
and the pig We must have lime
stone in the soil TO profitably grow
Iegumes, which furnishes the neces-
sary protein for the cow and leaves
nitrogen in the soil for the produc-
ton of better yields Of grain. The
COW in turn supplies protein, in the
very best form for the pigs and
hens. in the skim milk.

Work in Green township IS well
under way and DR.. Howard ex-
pressed his opinion Friday night
that he thought the work in that
township would be complete this
coming week.
Liberty township, having the most
accredited herd agreements signed
up will be the next township to re-
ceive the test.
Members Of Green. German and
Center townships should consider
themselves fortIGnate, inasmuch as
they have completed their area
work as there is a constant rumor,
that will not down, that the funds
for this work is running low and
there is considerable speculation as
enough federal ard state funds to
complete the entire county.
1t is sincerely hoped by everyone
interested in this work that St.
Joseph county will be entirely
cleaned out Of tubercular cattle, for
past experience has proven that a
few reactors dn a community can
soon infect several healthy animals.
Then too. should II become a law.
that everyone must test their cattle

Sixty-two farms In German town
ship reported 487 cows over six
months old. In this township only
six pure bred slres could be located.
Tn Centre township the figures
were even more startinE ON 73

this number only pure bred bulls
were reported by DR. Howard who
did the work.
In Greene township. where the
work OF testing Is In progress and
about bali completed only three pure

Pure-Breds Scarce.
II can readily be seen at a glance
that, should the figures OF German

the size Of their herds by selling off
