Mr. Bryan declared himself as heartily in accord with the principle of requiring candidates to put themselves unequivocally on record before entering upon their campaigns. He did not accept the questionnaire which presented it, because "I would as a candidate, he told the delegation not want to be placed in the position of being a candidate when I am not a candidate.

The Farm and The Farmer By William B. Sanborn

When a man who fed 1,000 hogs in 1919 Isn't planning to feed 100 in 1320, and when this man has also cleaned out hia cattle sheds and has his silos full to the top with practically nothing to feed, he must have good and sufficient reasons. This man, Wilson Magaw, living on the Liberty pike, says the market has not suited him for quite a long time: that he sees no inducement to feed hogs or cattle, no reasonable prospect of a profit on either, so he intends to lay off for awhile, and see what happens." Mr. Magaw said he went to Kansas City last fall to buy feeders, but the prices ranged so high that he did no buying; he didn't like the out-1 look for feeding high cost stuff and returned empty handed. "We have a few iiogs," said Mr. Magaw, "and we lost a few February pigs, just as most of our neighbors did; in fact, some of them lost half their litters, we are told. We also have some sheep and have been lucky with them this year, having no losses of either sheep or lambs." May Do No Feeding. "As to future feeding operations the prices of corn and hogs don't jibe; nor does the price of commercial feeds and tafikage for that matter. Fact is, the feeders are in a bad way. With higher priced summer corn we may see higher priced hogs, should anyway, but the outlook is too uncertain. It is all guess work and a man likes at least a reasonable show to get out on his labor and investment, beforo wading in very deep. Our silos are full because we have done no feeding all winter. We shall not feed any this summer, unless we change our minds, though we may put some stock on grass later. To my mind there is nothing like corn and tankage to fatten hogs and the prices of both are too far out of line with the money paid fpr hogs. "Fact is, there is no encouragement to feed anything right now, and most of the farmers feel as we do about it, for you can't get away from the facts. We raise very few hogs on the place, but buy feeders as suits us and that buying is likely to be very limited for some time." According to recent statements made on the floor of the house, "There are 40,000 unnecessary, idle employes drawing government salaries at Washington. They still occupy the tem porary buildings which housed them during the war, and which "are still maintained at a tremendous expense." There should be a great number of able-bodied men in that crowd, all pining for work, it is suggested that iho national farm bureau committee now in Washington might stir something up and start a few thousands of these ambitious men toward western farms and ranches. Forty thousand folks make quite a town and it is a pity so many should be idle when there is so much work to be done. The Farmers' Grain Dealers' association, the owner of 4,000 farmers' elevators, met in Chicago this week, in annual convention. Among other ideas brought out was: "We also expect to work out a system and encourage the exchanging of farm products, such as potatoes and grain, through (White) Louisville Food Products Co., Inc., Louisville, Ky.

our co-operative organizations, and to do more co-operative buying." - They are to oppose the proposed 25 percent advance in freight rates. Rome Shurley says that fat hogs are scarcer right now than he has ever known them to be, at this season, in the past 20 years. We Buy Canadian Cattle. Sixteen heavy oxen, weighing 1,546 pounds, reached Omaha from Winnipe, Canada, in February, of which 11 head went at $7 and 5 at $8.50 per hundred. This was a trial shipment from Winnipeg to Omaha but many of these cattle are regularly marketed ,in Chicago. Most of this stock are fattened on hay and water, the shipper said, "but there are thousands like them in Canada, which if fattened would weigh a ton or better." When these cattle are exported they are fed i ;ll ration of oats and barley. No corn 13 used for fattening up that way. These oxen had been used for hauling, and were 7 days in transit. Holstein Breeders Open Office. Indiana Holstein breeders are to open an office at Centerpoint, where all available stock will be listed for -sale. Dues are $5 yearly and their slogan is: "1,000 members by January 1, 1921." Radicals Not Welcome. At the final meeting: of the Farm bureau federation at Chicago on March 4, a note was given out to the country which stated that: "We wish the .American people to understand defin ately that the organization self-styled 'The Farmers National Council' has no authority to speak in behalf of the farmers in this country. Any and all efforts of 'The Farmers National Council' to ally the agriculturists of America with the radicals in the industrial world, is hereby denounced." It was the sense of the meeting that the farmers' troubles are in no sense political, but are purely economic.

Good Seeds are Essential For Your Thrift Garden Bring out the left-over seeds and those saved from last year's garden, spread them on a table, examine them closely, and see how many are worth planting in the garden this year. As a rule, it does not pay to plant old seeds, and unless these left over from last year are in first-class condition, they had best be discarded, the United States Department of Agriculture specialists advise.
