The report to Secretary Wallace
was prepared by DR.. A. A. Dowell,
superintendent or the Northwest
School Of Agriculture at Crookston,
Mimi, after about a year Of investi-
cation of the economies of direct
buying of livestock versus buying at
public markets. DIR. Dowell said
that direct buying from farmers at
rural stations did not lower the
income of farmers. He said, how
ever, that marketing should be un-
der weighing and grading super
vision as urged by terminal CEN
ters. The report as a whole was
considered a direct victory for the
principle Of direct buying.
"lhe report apparently Is moth
ing more than a flat betrayal Of
the livestock producers by one who
is presumed to be able to speak
with authority on livestock market
ing" Mr.. Crandall said.
II have been unable to discover
facts which justify or support DR..
DowelPs findings in favor Of direct
buying. His statements that direct
buying furnished livestock produc-
ers more economic service than
have public markets; that direct
marketing does not operate to the
disadvantage of producers; that
direct buying favors the farmer in
the sale of his hogs; that direct
buying has not reduced competition
for hogs; that there exists no fixed
price differences between public
markets and interior points, any of
which is not fact, and all are mis-
leading, sound as if a representa-
tive of the packing industry were
making the report. The findings of
the whole investigation has given
the packer free rein TO continue his
unsupervised methods of selling
farmers hogs to himself,' and exer-
cising all the sales FACTORS which
affect the price Of hogs.
1T is my opinion that the ex-
haustive and costly investigation
conducted by DIR. Dowell could have
been carried on rar more econom-
ically had the investigation been
conducted by the packing industry
itself. It could not nave been more
favorable to the packer had this
been done. At least, 1t would have
saved the taxpayers OF the country
around $4,000.
Mr.. Crandall has been President
of the Central Cooperative associa-
ton for the past thirteen years. The
organization embraces approximate
ly $4,000 livestock producers.

Farmers in need of roughage
throughout the county and dealers
who wish to buy roughage to re-
sell to the farmers should arrange
with the County Extension Office,
st. Cloud, to place their orders and
make the purchases very soon, es-
pecially If they wish to make pur-
chases through the Agency for De-
ficiency Distribution. This Is the
organization set up by the AAA in
the Flour Exchange Building at
Minneapolis to purchase and re-
handle Canadian roughage of var
ious types. AS the above Agency is
anxious to find out just how much
of these various types of roughages
to order and have baled in Canada,
it is necessary to have a rather def
mite idea as to how much is needed
in the various sections of the state.
This can only be done by having
some orders to work on. Roughages
Of various kinds viii not be cheaper
than what they are now. It Is true
that they are much more expen-
sive than what most folks can af-
ford to pay but there will be no OPP
portunity to get them at lower
prices later in the season, and the
contrary may be true.
Under the plan through which the
Agency for Deficiency Distribution
was set up, purchases can be made
from them by either dealers or far
mers who can handle a carload
themselves or can use carload in
cooperation with several neighbors.
In other words, the ADD will sell
to any responsible individual. It
would mean too much Of a lengthy
report to give the prices of all the
rougnages that the ADD has; but
to give an idea as to what some
would cost, the price of wheat straw
will be used as an example. Wheat
straw at the ports of entry( and the
most convenient port Of entry
would be Emerson, Manitoba) Is
SITS. In addition to that figure, it
would cost $1.50 handling charge to
the dealer and additional $2.10 for
freight from Emerson to st.
Cloud and other points in Stearns
county. Upland Hay No. 2 or better
would be $15.25 at the port of entry
and sweet clover hay $13.55 on the
same basis. The prices of other
roughages can be secured from the
County Agents office, st. Cloud, on
request. The prices given will be
the price of the roughage at the
port of entry and in addition to
that, the other two items mentioned
above, handling charge and freight
must be added.
It will not be necessary to have
freight reduction certificates in
Stearns county on this Canadian
hay as the three railroad lines ser
wing Stearns county, the Great
Northern, the Northern Pacific and
the Sioux, are not demanding the
drought certificates and are grant
ing the so per cent rate without
such forms.
According to the management Of
the ADD, large quantities Of
roughage are stin available in
Canada, but they do not wish to
buy too far ahead until they know
what the requests from the various
sections will be.

mediately on a tour Of the city and
were first taken through the White
House, U. S. Capitol. Visited both

cess of engraving and printing
money and stamps. $20,000,000 Is
the average amount of money
printed there in one day.

An average of 1,4Oo people visit
Mount Vernon each day.
Left Washington iare that even
ing and arrived at chicago the fol-
lowing day. The Allegheny Noun
tains presented beautiful scenery
on the trip. In Chicago we motoreu
through Lincoln Park, saw the
famous Elks Memorial, and Mar
shall Field Store.
Another interesting part of our
visit in Chicago was trip through
the National Broadcasting Studios,
where we heard Harry Hogan and
his orchestra, Jackie Heller and the
Moran Sisters and others broad
cast.
Started the homeward journey
from Chicago Sunday, January 20,
at Hoo a. M, and arrived at Sank
Centre at LAS a. M, Monday. I en-
joyed most pleasant and inter-
esting voyage, one which will not
be forgotten soon. The entire trip
was given as advertised, there was
always someone to meet me in each
city on leaving the train and every
thing was as scheduled. The meals
and service were VI the very best,
and everything for our comfort and
entertainment was taken care of as
promised.-Cecile Bromenschenkel.

Sank Centre 81. Bertha SO

Sank Centre 81. Bertha SO
Monday evening the Sank Centre
Leisure Time Activities basketball
squad met a strong Bertha delega-
ton on the local court and defeated
them in a rough-and-rumple contest
by small margin, 81 to SO.
The first stanza started off with
Smart, of Bertha, coming in fast to
miss the shot. Passing into the bas-
ket Hanson, Bertha, opened the
scoring for the evening. Dubois
playing opposite him, followed with
a field goal. Iwinski picked up two
goals in quick succession, and Du-
Bots eked out another before the
quarter ended with Sank Centre on
the long end of an to 2 score.
Bertha went on a scoring spree
during the second period, and took
the lead from the locals. Smart
started the fireworks on the open
ing play, going in fast to score. Du-
Bots covered long shot, and sunk
one under the basket. Smart and
1winski split honors on the next
two field goals. Seaver scored to put
Bertha within a point of the Sank
Centre lead. Seaver then proceeded
to tie the score as he swung in a
free shot. Dubois followed with a
goal, and Bertha was off for the
quarter. Seaver and Hanson, exc
cutting some clever ability, scored
two goals apiece as the Sank Centre
quint was caught mapping. The half
ended with Bertha in the lead % to
IA.
Bertha this time was mapping. The
local lads set to with determination
to close up the lead, and Bertha
scored very little this period. It
opened with Dubois sinking two
field goals and two free shots which
Sieben followed with gift shot.
Iwinski made push shot from the
foul line, and Dubois traced his
steps to make pivot shot right I'M
der Hanson's guard. Seaver tossed
in a foul shot, and the quarter end
ed with Sank Centre again in the
lead 80 to 20.
The final stanZa of the contest
was heavy with fouling and ragged
playing as each endeavored to score
and not be scored on.
The game rolled on with both
teams fighting desperately. Seaver
did manage free shot, and Hanson
scored a fiel goal, Burt, of Bertha,
scored a field goal, Burt, of Bertha,
Dubois came in with two gift shots
at Hanson's expense and followed
them with pivot shot from the
corner. Another gift shot as the
locals went in the lead for the final
score of 81 to So. The following is
the summary:
