impresses one as straightforward
man, wholly devoted to the cause he
represents. He spoke in deliberate,
rather low, but carrying voice, and
the audience of over 400 gave him
perfect attention during his long talk
and would have stayed there for an
hour longer if he had continued, am
sure. / have no idea how long he
talked, except by the volume OF notes
took. Every sentence he uttered
was full of meaning, and he adopted
none of the oratorical scenery with
which so many speakers make long
speech out of few thoughts.
IL. An idea of the activity of the
activity of the A. F. B. F. and its
leader might be secured from the ar
ray of subjects he mentioned in his
two sses-leegislation, local or
ganization and work, Russian trade,
the land banks, Boys and Girls club
work, New York bankers, Pacific
coast problems, transportation, New
England farms, ancient history, tax
alton, the present situation in Mex
leo, cooperative marketing, etc.
IL. A resolution was offered from
the floor, expressing the appreciation
of the members that Mr.. Howard was
steadfastly refused to accept posi-
tions offering him much greater sal
aries than his present one. The
farmers should remember that they
have some wonderful men working
for them, who are working for the
cause at great sacrifice in money.

VI. I'll
summarized in last weeks Monitor
are the best expression of the pur-
pose of the Farm Bureau Federations
with reference to this section of the
country that has been published.
They were produced by many work
ing together, and in fact every reso-
luton was discussed by one or more
speakers before the entire conference.
The criticism has been made that the
A. F. B. F. is more concerned over
the troubles of the Western farmer
than those of the Eastern man, but
careful study of the complete reso-
buttons will answer that criticism. If
we of the East can express what we
want, the Farm Bureau movement is
ready to offer aid.
Ia. The day following the con-
ference the secretaries of the Farm
Bureaus of Vermont met with Mr..
Cornwall in the new State Federation
offices to discuss the work to be I'M
dertaken by the Farm Bureaus and by
the State Federation. The work in
Vermont is not thoroughly under way
yet, and it is felt by those who ware
present that great deal of good will
come from the better understanding
and plans resulting from the meeting.
Is. The whole spirit of the con-
ference was that of hone, that the
worst of the present crisis is over;
of sane, constructive work: with an
absence of class spirit. but instead
feeling of real Americanism. The
unreasoning "spread EAGLE" patriot
ism was not there but I never heard
or saw more patriotic gathering.

Cold STORAGE Leaves.

Eggs and beeves- are not the only
things that are kept in cold storage.
The fresh fern leaves that adorn the
luncheon tables of hotels on occasion
are probably from some ice chest and
are taken out as demanded. They
grew, very likely, in some woods near
a country village and were shipped
by the ton during the summer months.
1t Is said New York city uses 10000
0O' fern fronds every year and some
New England woods have been de-
nuded of the plants.

Crackers of Various Kinds.

There are various curiosities in the
way Of foreign crackers, or biscuit,
as they are sometimes called 1t may
be remarked, by way Of preface, that
biscuit is French for twice cooked, ;"
and is etymologically the same as the
German zwieback. The Italians make
all their crackers in this way, the va
rieties familiar to US not being in COM
mon use with them. Italian bakers
save all their old bread and convert it
into biscuit" of this kind. For this
reason the bread largely used in Ital-
ian and Sicilian restaurants is SO made
that pieces may be broken from the
loaf without making a jagged end

This is but one of the many letters

ducers' and shippers organizations
which have adopted federal grades
for fruits and vegetables. The letter
is from a cooperative peach shippers
organization in Ohio.
I'VE packed out our entire crop on
the United States grades" wrote the
president of the organization. "All
our members are well pleased and,
best of all, determined to begin in
their. own orchards at once to try to
produce fruit of higher and better
quality. We see no point at which
the standards recommended by your

COST OF TESTING CATTLE

greater expense than those which fol-

of their experiences. But, in spite
of this, records of the department

SLAUGHTER RECORDS BROKEN

The number of hogs slaughtered un-
der federal meat inspection during
the month of September was 2,747,-
467. This is 325.117 more than were
slaughtered in any previous Septem-
ber for which records are kept, ac-
cording to figures of the bureau of
animal husbandry, United States De-
partment of Agriculture. The condi-
tion is unusual in that it is the
fourth consecutive month in which
the monthly slaughter record of hogs
has been broken. The meat inspec-
tion forces have, as a result thereof,
been engaged in very heavy operation
at a time of the year when it is us
ual to expect a smaller run of hogs.

GREAT ROAD DEVELOPMENT
IN WYOMING DURING z YEARS

The last seven years have been q
period of great road development in
the State of Wyoming. according to
figures collected by the Bureau Of
Public Roads Of the United States
Department OF Agriculture. From
1914 to 1924 the total road mileage
increased from 1877 to 46,52s miles.
This is In strong contrast to the ma
jority of states, which have made
great progress in road improvement.
but without any appreciable change
in total mileage.
During the seveB-year period the
mileage of improved road has incres-
ed from 1924 miles to e,S67 miles.
The mileage of road is classified as
follows:
Miles
Unimproved ........... 39,373
Graded and drained ...... 6,715
Gravel, ebert, shale .... Alb
Hard surfaced .......... u
In the State there is a total of 613
highway bridges.
An analysis of the figures collected
by the bureau shows that there is
one-half mile of road per square mile
of area: that the annual road revenue
is s55.32 per square mile, $116.25 per
mile of road, and $27.S2 per capita.
In 1921 the total road revenue. in
cluding Federal-aid funds, amounted
to approximately $5,4OS,00O, and ex-
penditures $4,725.00O. During the
year 1873 miles of improved road
were completed in the State and con-
siderable maintenance work done.
That Federal aid is playing con-
siderable part in road advancement
in this State is shown by the fact
that on August 81, 474 miles of Fed
eral-aid road had been completed,
421 miles we're either under construc-
ton or approved for construction,
and nearly 100000 was available for
new projects.
The State system of over 5000
miles of road to be built with Federal
aid and which will form a part of
the Federal-aid highway system will
be definitely settled upon within a
short time.

AT LIONS CLUB MEETING

AT the Wednesday luncheon meet
ing of the Lions Club Claude Matt
ngly was a guest and he urged fur
ther cooperation of all interests to see
that at least 5000 acres of beet con-
tracts were secured. Mr.. Mattingly
states that there must be a bigger
acreage and points to the fact that
farmers will make a mistake if they
90 not put in some bceta where ii is
possible for them to do so. He is
doing everything he can to increase
the acreage. +. G. Hilvert, of the
S. A. Gerard Co, stated that the
cantaloupe acreage was far too large
and he urged that all possible effort
be made TO change the situation. He
stated he would gladly release half
of every contract if the half would
be put in beets. Senator NJ. f.. Bash
or. also urged, rs Il farmer, that
moro bcets be contracted. He stated
that the t50-5O" contract was a
growers contract, one that had been
long wanted, and he looked upon
it as moral obligation that the
farmers give beet growing under this
plan a three or four year try-cut
