SIX MONTHS OF THE FARM BOARD

Just half year ago last month the Federal
Farm Board began its operations and the first
ference held at Washington. At the time Of
that first meeting President Hoover outlined the du-
ties these would be called upon to fill in this
fashion:
your fundamental purpose must be to deter
mine the fact and to find solution to multitude
of agricultural problems, among them to nearly
adjust production to need; to create permanent bus
mess institutions for marketing, which owned and
controlled by the farmers shall be wisely devised
and soundly founded and well managed, that they
by efecting economies and giving such stability will
grow in strength over the years to come Through
these efforts may establish to the farmer an
equal opportunity in our economic system with other
industry
President Hoover in no sense minimized the
number or the magnitude of the problems which
the nine who compose the farm board were
called upon to face AS the six hectic months of it's
life have passed each week has seemingly brought
only further comexity in the work which lay before.
They have been forced to take upon themselves
task which is not only thankless but one, the
carrying of which, is largely experimental.
The act which created the farm board in a
limits their activity to four broad fields These
roughly, minimizing speculation, preventing in
efficient wastefud methods distribution organ
zing producers into effective ASSOCIATE to handle
each major product and finance their activities
venting and controlling SURPRISES of agricultural
commodities through a program of orderly produc-
ton and distribution.
The farm board in aiding the farmer finds only
two avenues open to them. The first is through the
farmers cooperative marketing associations and
only way in which the individual farmer be
benefited through their operations is by being a
member of some cooperative organization of farm
erS.
Since beginning operations the board has loaned
to these groups total of $58,690,000.
Six months and the board is finding it difficult
to answer the questions of farmers "just what are
you doing for us?" They have made these loans,
they began the organization of national grain
poration, they have bought wheat on the market in
attempt at fixing the price and they have re-
commended curtailing production next year.
The wisdom Of these actions, the amount of good
they will be able to do the farmer will lhave to
main for the future to say. If these six months
have shown nothing else they have brought out to
the farmers the need for better organization.-Mn-

The Parade

David was about to see the great
parade of Europe where he had
gone adventuring and Europe was
acting as master of ceremonies. and
explaining why his suit was made
of So many cOlOrS-JuSt as the map
of Europe has SO many cOlOrs.
The sound of the music came
closer and closer and now David
was sitting in the grand stand to
which Europe had led him.
AT the head of The procession was
the drum major, followed by little
Map people beating drums Sudden
ly they burst into a splendid march.
The drum major wore wooden
shoes, and whiring about his head

AS Prevaricators Iowa's
Fishermen Rank Near Tor;
Claim Pickerel Pull Calves Into
Lake May Be Doubted By
Some

Pete Omer, of Sanborn returned
recently from Spirit Lake where
he had been putting up his next
summers supply of ice with an I'M
usual story of the ravages of the
monster pickerel in the lake, &C
cording to the Sanborn Pioneer.
AS the story is told, farmers
whose land borders on the lake are
fencing in the lake to prevent their
cattle from watering at it, and will
install wells and windmills in their
pastures instead. The action is
made necessary by the heavy loss
of calves and young cattle from
herds, which have been pulled into
the lake and drowned by the
swarms of large pickerel which in
fest it. This is the first fall and
winter that there has been any loss
at the lake from this cause and the
unusual action of the pickerel is be-
lieved to be due to the unusually
early freezing over of the lake COM
bined with a scarcity of flesh food
which is a necessary part to the
diet of these fish.
Stockmen using the lakes as a
watering place alternate during
the period that the lake is frozen
over in chopRing holes through the
ice that the cattle may drink. The
disappearance of calves and young
stock began to be noticed several
weeks ago and at first was attribut.
ed to band of rustlers suspected
of operating in the vicinity. A
watch maintained about the lake
failed, however, to disclose the
presence Of any rustlers, although
the loss of stock continued.
Then one morning the cause OF
the steady disappearance of the
calves was discovered by a farm
hand, who found several pickerel
of medium weight dead in the pas
ture at considerable distance from
the water and later a yearling
stampeded about the range with q
10-pound pickerel hanging to its
nose. He at once reported his dis.
covery to his employer and an in
vestigation was made at the num-

erous water holes chopped through
the lake ice. The bodies of num-
Der of calves and yearling cattle,
partially devoured, were discerned
In the lake bottom near the holes
over the deeper part of the lake and
at one the body of calf which had
been partially dragged through a
hole into the water were found.
Further investigation discloced
that the pickerel bulldogged the
cattle when they sank their nose
into the water to drink. The older
and heavier cattle were able to pull
their attackers from the water and
run with them to land where the
fish let go soon after being removed
from the water; but the calves and
other young stock unable to main
tain foothold on the slippery ice
when attacked by the pickereI were
easily dragged in and drowned.
