took an active part in the many
discussions on ways of improving
farm life and lettering the finan-
cial condition of the farmer. The
keynote of all addresses was that
farmers must unite in organiza-
lions headed by capable, honest
leaders if they are to receive eco
nomic justice and be paid a salts
factory return for their labor and
investments.

All officers and directors OF the

meeting held Jan. 1923 in the Low

1880 are A. j. Olson, of R,enville

The convention was marked by

Darby, Mont, Jan. % = This lit
tie community in the Bitter Root
valley is prospecting under an en-.

tration. The mayor, the town coun-
Gil and the city officials are all
women. Margaret Shockley, wife of
Ranger G. w. Shockley, of the Bit

and the councillors are Mrs. J. J.
Whytle, Mrs. H. A. F'lightner, Mrs.
B. J. Billings and Miss Gertrude

The women are serving without
remuneration, being content to de-
vote considerable time for the bet

few years in which they have had
charge of the town government,
Darby has cleared up it's last cent
of Indebtedness and has been able
to reduce it's tax levy.
Streets have been paved, walks
constructed and the volunteer fire

try was said to be mot as bad as
would appear from present butter
prices"
The report said that heavy pro-
duction of grape fruit and low
prices was probable and that canta-
loupe prices would probably be low
er this year in the early produc-
ing sections while a moderate de-
crease in the acreage of the in
termediate and late producing sec
tions was recommended Gin order
to raise prices to the level of few
years ago." Watermelon growers
were advised to plant a somewhat
smaller acreage and apple growers
were told that new paintings were
justified only where conditions are
unusually favorable for high quail
ity production.
Hog prices were expected to av-
erage at least as high as in 1929
and possibly higher, while reduc-
ton of slaughter supplies was in
Dictated, this probably partially off
set by decreased demand for hog
products.

largest since 1917, not counting the
years when the war veterans were
enrolled, and that the attendance
at the other schools is greater than
ever before. He also called at
tention to the emphasis being
placed by the Federal Farm Board
relative to the need of education
in connection with cooperative
marketing He also mentioned the
repeated requests coming to the
Department of Agriculture for re-
searches relating to Minnesota ag-
riculture.
It seems, said Dean Coffey, that
during this short course more than
usual emphasis was placed on
those cardinal virtues, the sum of
which amounts to character. de
pointed out that c. v. Gregory at
the Master Farmers dinner listed
as the two most important qualifi-
cations of a Master Farmer-cour-
age and unselfishness and he
mentioned the emphasis Sam
Thompson of the American Farm
Bureau placed upon the necessity
of living more for the sake of liv-
ing and not with a selfish material
istic objective.
1t also seemed to Dean Coffey
that there was wide recognition
during the week of the value OF
organization in handling agricul-
tural problems, not for the purpose
of depressing other groups, but az
way of orderly procedure in per.
forming agriculture's part in hand
ling the nations affairs.

ton; legislation alone will not bring
agriculture prosperity.
Mr.. Monkman said that 70 per
cent of the hogs raised in the Unit
ed States came from 10 states, OF
which Minnesota was one of the
', group. He called attention to the
fact there was an interlocking in
terest between the farmer and Sank
Centre business men.
At the election of officers Charles
Kortan was elected to succeed Ar
thur Loid and Emil Gamradt was
reelected as director. Both are
for three year terms.
Mr.. Rattle discussed the feed
mill installed by several of the dl-
rectors a few months ago. He
said the shipper was badly handi-
capped many times because he
could not tell whether he was go
ing to have one, two or more cars
to ship.

Butter Prices Slightly Higher

Receipts of butter on both New
York and Chicago markets con-
tinue light with markets steady.
There is further decrease in market
anticipated for this week in view
of no immediate relief from the
inclement weather conditions ex-
listing over practically all produc-
ing areas. Trading has been fair,
but buyers have been careful not to
buy in excess of immediate needs.
Chicago butter market on 80
score standards is quoted today at
SO - cents, which is half cent high
er than Monday of last week. The
New York market on 90 score ex-
tras is 38 cents.
Egg receipts are light, this be-
ing reflection of continued cold
weather throughout the Middle
Western producing areas. Market
has been showing consistent de-
clines the past week, and it is an
ticipated that there will be further
declines the coming week until it
reaches a level where consumptive
trade will start buying.
The Chicago egg market on fresh
firsts is quoted today at 35 to 35 "
cents as against 38 to 401a cents
on last Monday, which is de-
cline of 3 to 5 cents. The New
York market on firsts is 81 "a to
38 cents.
Receipts of live fowl on the New
York market continue light with
trading fair. The light receipts
can be attributed to the same
weather conditions affecting butter
and eggs. The proportion of
chickens to total receipts of live
poultry has been light and market
has been firm. Quality of chickens
is poor with heavy percentage of
stays.
The Chicago live fowl market to-
day is % to 81 cents; springs, leg
horns, 18; colored, Is; stays, 20;
old ROSTERS, 18 cents.-Produce

the very practical suggestion that

Mr.. Monkman did not think
much of cooperative packing

said the best prices for live stock

they could do business at cost.
