NOTE: This if the tourtn OF
series of eight articles by Mr.
Lampson, manager of the Colora-
do Wheat Growers association.
In this issue he sheds little
lirht on the "over-production
talk of which the farmer mas
heard so much this year. ~
"over-production'' is one of the ia,
vorite phrases that is being dlnneo
into the farmers ears this time OF tne
year.
Certain people cry "over-produc
ton" for much the same reason tnas
a certain foolish dry-goods clerk once
used the word cotton" to label ms
wooian rugs. He thought it would
scare the moths.
Every fall this phrase "over-pro-
dnction" is used to scare the farmer.
The idea seems to be that after the
farmer gets through reading ABOUT
tho enormous crops in Australia ana
ARGENTINE and Canada, and hearing
about what a big over-productl1h
there is in America, he ought to De
satisfied to get anything at all for MS
crops.
But the queer thing about over-pro
duction is that you don't near rhue"
about it in the spring. a,.
Where is the source Of this over
production" talk, and how much trutn
is there in it?
Take the reports that we get from
Canada, for instance. Early IN .he

there are prospects for good crop; OF;

the activity of the Colorado Wheat
Growers association, according to the
report this week of Mr.. Ernest May
hew Ovid director of the association.
The beneficial results of the asso-
cations work has been felt by nom
members as well as members of the
association" said Mr.. Mayhem. "Hun-
dreds of elevators throughout Colora-
do have followed the lead of the as
sociation in paying a cash advance on
the delivery Of wheat to be sold later
in the season.
"The effect of this on the individ-
ual farmer is to put him in a posi-
ton where he is no longer forced to
sell his product at the low prices that
are usually in effect in the early fall
This is one of the big results that
the association set out to secure.
"A second goal. which the associa-
ton is striving for, is the stabiliza-
tion of prices by the holding of our
grain off the open market except
when and where the market can abb
sorb it. Here is where the farmer
who is not an association member is
actually bucking US, because he is SELL

Mrs. Marie Thompson, chairman Of

MOTOR VEHICLE
LICENSE FEES
OVER MILLION

Receipts for the first six months Of
1928 from motor vehicle license fees
not only exceed those for the entire
year of 1922 but have also passed the
$1,00O,000 mark in the State of Colo
rado.
The total fees from January lst to
June Both, 1922, according to the semi
annual report of the State Motor We
hicle Department made by Carl S. Mil
liken, Secretary Of State, from all IL
censing transactions amounted to the
sum Of sS9S, S,O29.66. while the fees for
the same period of 1928 amounted to
81 ,O24 .4O8.36. an increase of $126, ,378.-
10 in fees collected.
During the first half of 1922 licen-
ses have been issued to 132,847 own
ers of passenger vehicles, 1000 auto
trucks and 1852 motorcycles.
In 1923 over the same period, Ii
censes were issued to 154,847 owners
of passenger vehicles, 5000 trucks,
|2,118 motorcycles, an increase over
the first six months of 1922 of 21,-
1853 and 2151 respectively and de-
crease of 1856 in the number Of motor
cycles licensed.
One reason for the substantial in
crease in the amount of money re-
ceived is result of the action of the
Twenty-fourth General Assembly in
abolishing the so-called "X-licenses'
which were issued to motor vehicles
used exclusively for official business

''SIGN-UP-BY- -MAM"CAM-
PAIGN TO CLOSE SOON

"Have you joined the Colorado
Wheat Growers
This is the slogan that has become
almost a by-word in Sedgwick county
this week as the "Sign-Up by Mail''
membership drive for the cooperative
association draws to a close.
Three more days of the drive re-
main.
Membership applications sent in on
or before Saturday, Sept. 9th, will en-
title the signer to years free sub
scription to the Grit-Advocate. Az
ter Saturday, according to Mr. Bruce
Lampson, manager of the association
this offer will not hold good. The as
sociation will be at their usual ex-
pense of sending out field-men to in
terview prospective members.
"The results of the mail campaign
far exceeded our expectations" said
Mr.. Lampson yesterday. at is the
first time in the brief history of the
Colorado association that a campaign
has been carried on in cooperation
with newspaper, and the results
prove the fact that Sedgwick county
farmers read the Grit-Advocate.
"The campaign has proven, also
that there are scores of farmers in
every section of the state who are
anxious to join the association, and
who know enough about the associa-
tion from what they have read, to
join up without putting US to the ex,
pense of sending field-man to ex-
! plain things for half an hour"
The total membership of the asso-
citation is now more than 5000, ac-
cording to figures issued this week
through the Sterling office of the as.
sociation. In normal years this men,
bership would mean that the associa.
ton probably would handle more thar
100000 bushels of wheat. The yield
this year has been cut down consider.
ably in almost every section of the
state.
Campaigns similar to the Sedgwick
county drive are contemplated in 9th
er sections of the state, according tc

THE "OVER- R-PRODUC-
TlON'' BUGABo0
By BRUCE LAMPsON

crv How much can you believe in
them until the grain is actually har-
vested?
Here is the actual situation as re-
CARDS over-production today, from the
monthly figures on stocks held in ele-
vators over the world.
On August 1st, 1919, there were 306
million bushels of "surplus' wheat on
hand in the world. That is enough
wheat to take care of Europe's needs
for six months. Last year the surplus
had shrunk to 124 million bushels. In
other words, for the last four years
the world has been using more wheat
than she has been producing.
On June 1st of this year, the stocks
of wheat were POT million bushels,
which will mean that about ITO mill
ion bushels will be carried over to the
new crop. This surplus represents a
three months supply OF, grain, and any
less of a surplus would be pretty
slim margin of safety This thre
months supply of wheat is our only
insurance fund against famine.
There is no reason why mere three
months supply of wheat should be
Call6u ONcI-pIOuoSeioN
that we didn't raise this surplus in
one year, and that for the past four
years the surplus has been shrinking
The forcing down of grain prices
every fall on "over- production" reports
is one Of the chief arguments in favor
of the cooperative marketing plan.
Under the cooperative plan, the sur
plus supply of wheat still will be in
existence, but it will not be on the op:
en- market forcing down the price OF
new wheat that is offered for sale. It
will be kept off the market till it is
needed-not dumped.
"Over-production" talk is usually
rumor. it is the farmers own fault
if he believes it. Why don't we ever
hear over-production rumors concern
ing steel? When the farmer has CON
troll of his crops these rumors will be
ineffective because he will be able tc
gauge his sales to meet actual cond''
tions.

ace Parker being practically totally
destroyed by the flames, which it is
thought, originated from defective
