experiment will show nice profit for
the farm.

gon Egg Producers today. according
to An announcements made Thursday
by W. J. Shearer manager. In
creased volume OF business coupled
with the TACT that an attempt will

on the New York market are reasons
underlying this proposed shipment.
Receipts at the local station are
increasing constantly. Wednesday was
high point day in the history OF CO
operative marketing here when slightly
more than 800 cases OF eggs were
received. That is at the rate OF about
1900 cases. or four cars. each week
But this figure IS somewhat in excess
of the average weekly receipts. about
1000 ar l2o0 cases being the normal
weekly receipt.
Egg prices. following two disa2-
pointing months. show an upward

that the trend may continue. Because

Famous Goose Was
Killed in Season

That far famed goose which re-
suited in penalties for DR.. F. NJ. Cole
and A. |. Myers was not killed out
of season in Oregon, as The Tribune
read Tuesday On the contrary, the
bird was legally killed, stored and
forgotten. and then eaten out of sea
son. Transposition OF a modifying
phrase gave the wrong interpreta-
ton to the article.
Under federal game laws, It seems
that dead migratory bird should not
be retained in anyones possession fol-
lowing the expiration OF the shooting
season. However. when the season
expires such bird does remain in the
possession of citizen, it is against
the law to keep if. n the other hand.
it is against the law to dispose OF it.

FARMERS LEAVE
LAND IN DROVES
Congressman Declares
Problem Acute; Mea-
sure is Remedy

Observation-Disclosures are being
starved off the land at the rate OF
10000 a. month. eliminated as in
come tax payers and their purchasing
power cut in two said Congressman
John w. Summers of the farm ex-
port league to representatives of the
press today.
The farmers purchasing power is
reduced from twenty-five to fifty per
cent. Instead of meeting the family
needs in the usual way, said Mr..
Summers. millions of farmers are
limiting their purchases to bare neces-
sites. This is being reflected to the
factories and commercial concerns of
the east and south.
"As matter OF fact constantly sell
ng for less than the cost OF produc-
ton sstarving farmers off the land
at the rate of a hundred thousand a
month and the end is not yet reached
ton is staring farmers off the land
passage of a stabilizing, equalizing
farm measure such as the McNary-
Haugen agricultural, export bill is re-
fccted in these significant figures:
during fifty years, from 1870 to 1920,
there were 3050 bank failures recorded
in the United States; in three and
half years 1884 banks, largely in agri-
cultural states, have closed their doors
and the last few months have been the
worst In other words about half as
many banks have failed in three and
a half years as in the preceding half
century.
Statistics show that the farmer has
been almost wholly eliminated as an
income tax payers. These conditions
"The necessity for the immediate
point to an economic condition so
grave as to arouse the entire nation
to the necessity of action.
Eve believe the agricultural export
bill, when enacted into INV will go
far in helping the farmer to solve
MS problems. 1t should have nation

FARMERS ONLY
CLASS WHO Do
NOT FIX PRICE
Michigan Representative
Outlines Program to
Meet Conditions That
Prevail Over Country

Washington-Of all the producers
in the world the farmer is the only
one who has anything to say regard
ing how and for how much his pro-
duct shall be sold. is the view of
Representative Ar.hur b. Williams.
Republican. OF Michigan, now serving
his first term in congress. Mr.. VII
liams is in a position to look at the
question from both sides. as he is
a farmer and a manufactures.
The farmer ought to be a better
business man, says he, advising CO.
operation among farmers, whom he
admonishes to quit ruinous compe-
tition each with his neighbor that they
may work together for better sales
agencies. If the farmers OF the coun-
try in 1920 and during the period
since then had been thoroughly orga-
nized, they would have been in a po-
sition very largely to have protected
themselves. Instead of continuing on
war basis of production they would
have curtailcd production to the prob
able needs for domestic consumption
and export Instead OF doing that.
with reference to certain products, at
least, they have kept right on pro-
ducing regardless of the market avail
able to them.
Mr. Williams believes that the first
step in the matter OF governing pro-
duction is to have a we'll organized
sales agency that is constantly in
touch with the nature and volume of
demand A good sales organization
in any business directs and has every
thing to say with reference to the
kind and quantity of production, and
IN this he believes that farmers have
been lacking.
1t was, OF course, partly because the
farmers of this country were in ig-
norane OF, and partly because they
ignored the fact that European pro-
duction OF grains and other food sup
plies gave promise of a return to nor
NAL last year and this, that left the
farmers in such a predicament with
respect to wheat, particularly. We
produced over billion bushels OF
wheot in 1910 and exported 245.000.-
900 bushels. We produced nearly a
billion bushels in 1922 and exported
100000 bushels. In 1922 with a
production of Sl5,000,000 bushels we
exported 366,0O0.OO0 bushels. or nearly
10 per cent of production. 1t looked
as if it would never end-il you did
not look close enough. But Europe
came back with bang the following
year and the wheat and grain produc-
ton OF that continent showed up
strong, from grain crops are the
quickest food crops on which to real
ize.
The stock exchanges and board OF
trade knew this fact They had their
agents on the lookout for ouch a sit
uation. The farmer was not organ
lied to point which kept him so
informed. Consequently, the
exchanges held up buying and wheat
prices fell off. The farmer was caught
holding the bag. The Republican con-
gress has made ample provision for
farm cooperation. 1t should be thor
oughly tried out to see if if is worable.
1t is to be remembered, however, that
the personal element counts for much
in cooperative arrangements. If there
S no agreement there is no co-opera-
ion.

Republican party from Saturdays
Statewide primary indicate that
United States Senator L. Heisler Ball,
who is a candidate for reelection,
may not have more than 40 out of the
$50 delegates to the State convention
at Dover tomorrow. The winning fac
ton favors Gen. T. Coleman du Pont
for the senatorial nomination, al
though he has not publicly announced
whether, he would accept 1t. Conf
dence was expressed by du Pont lead
ers, however. that he would take the
nomination If made.
Candidates for Congress- governor

nominated by the convention.
Senator Ball has been chairman of
the Senate District committee for a
number of years. He also served on
the civil service, commerce, enrolled
bills and naval affairs committees.
Mr.. Ball was the author of the Ball
rent act, which legislation was passed
to prevent profiteering of rents dur
ing the war and the emergency which
is still held by the Rent Commission
to exist
If Mr.. Ball is defeated his place as
