MARKETING SERVICE FOR INDIANA SHAPES INTO ITS FINAL FORM Officers of the I. F. F. A. have been rapidly perfecting details of the new Federated Marketing Service of Indi

ana which is intended to foster and guide the cooperative commercial activities of all local form organizations tivities of all local farm organizations the active assistance of the officers of the Farmers Grain Dealers association of Indiana and of the Indiana Grange. Full co-operation and rticipation in the benefits of the service is extended to all other farmers' organizations in the state and It is the intent of the federation to be of service to all. The farmers' requirements for fertilizers for spring use will be handled in a large way by the Marketing Service and prices and information are now being collected and will be available for distribution at an early date. Managers, secretaries and purchasing agents of local organizations, many of whom have been transacting business on a co-operative baris heretofore are arranging to pool the orders of all of , their- members in accordance with ln: structicns already sent out. It is claimed that the system will simplify the selling problem of manufacturers and lessen the cost of placing orders and of subsequent distribution. Officers Attend Meetings. President John G. Brown, Secretary Maurice Douglas, Treasurer E. E. Reynold.-, and ex-Secretary Lewis Taylor have all been called upon to attend farmers' meetings during the week and (interjkt in the activities of the federation is manifest throughout the fctate. J. E. Leavitt, E. G. McCollum and F. W. Boyle, representing the federation, the Farmers' Grain Dealers and the Grange have been in confer

ence with representatives of fertilizer

manufacturers. They also have attended a meeting at Chicago of the Grain committee of 17 appointed by the A.

F. B. F. The plan of organization of the Federated Marketing Service of Indiana was laid before this committee in order that no possible conflict with the work of the national committee might escape notice. It was stated by President Leavitt of the Marketing Service upon his return that the Indiana plan would put the farmers' organizations of the state in a position to adapt themselves to the program being worked out by the national committee.

each Monday morning. On the day

Darke opens Fulton and Huron also

will open.

All Ohio counties surrounding Darke either have '. completed their campaigns, or are now in campaigns or have campaigns soon to be put on. Mercer county's campaign will open Jan. 17. All Counties Increase. No county that has put on a campaign has decreased its membership because of the increase in fee, it is asserted, on the contrary, every county has increased its membership, the increase running from 40 to 400 percent.

In the American Farm Bureau Fed

eration there are 45 state federations

and an individual membership of a

million and a half farmers.

It is pointed out that the farm but

reau is non-political, non-sectarian and non-secret. It is asserted that members of all political parties and of every religious denomination in the United States are in its membership.

Grangers are said to be among its enthusiastic scpporters, following the lead of L. J. Taber. state master of the grange and member of the executive committee of the Ohio Farm Bureau Federation, who declares that every Granger should join the farm bureau and every farm bureau man should become a granger. O. E. Braufute, Xenia, president of the Ohio Farm Bureau Federation, recently was elected vice president of the American Federation.

CROPS WORLD AREA INCREASING YEARLY

(From the Philadelphia Inquirer)

Only one-third of the world's potential food producing area is under cultivation, and the crops raised on that third, thanks to agricultural science, increases yearly. The United States has only some 400 millions of its 935 million acres of arable land under cultivation, yet It raises, among other things, one-sixth of the world's corn supply. The farms of America raise less 'than half as much wheat to the acre as those of England, yet even with her present standard size could raise enough corn to meet the needs of Europe on the land that is now lying unused. Russia produces only ten bushels to the acre of corn, but when science has access to her untold millions of acres, and brings their capacity up to the standard of our. own farms, then she alone will be able to supply the world's cereal needs, with the exception of maize and rice. Less than a third of the world's population gets what we should call three good meals a day, yet the working capabilities of the, from our viewpoint, underfed continents of Asia and Africa will compare very well with either Europe or America. The average meat consumption of the world is thirty-nine pounds a head, yet both the Australian and the American eat nearer one hundred and eighty pounds

per head, and the Englishman is not

far behind with about one hundred

and twenty pounds. It is evident, then, that we can tighten our belts a hole or two yet without running any undue risk of starvation.

The Farm and Farmer

Two farm sales were held in Union conty this week which were notable for one particular fact. They were cried by perhaps the oldest farm sale

Thursday, Col. Brookbank said that

the Davis sale, held on that date, was the closing sale of his long career. He was willing that some younger man should take hold where he was leaving off. He was in the mood to take a needed rest, and to take life easier. Farm sales are held in all kinds of weather. We have seen much live stock and farm gear sold in a cold pouring rain, and in drifting snow. In such circumstances the auction block is a bleak and dangerous place for a man on the downward slope of the years. It may mean a chill or pneumonia. At all events it is not conducive to good health and longevity. This was Col. Brookbank's idea, and he so stated. He will be missed in many an auction ring, and by a numerous circle of farm customers when their sale days come 'round.

The S8 head of hogs put. up, mostly feeders, sold at from 12 to 13 cents per pound, there bring a lot. of men who still have faith in hogs present. The tale netted Mr. Brown over $1,S00. Will Fight Sales Tax. The officials of the National Grange have served notice on Washington that the Granse will fight the imposition of a sales tax, as a substitute for the excess profit tax. Senator McCumber, acting chairman of the senate finance committee, f.nd representative Fordney, chairman of the house ways and means committee, are the recipients of this message from the Grange.

Dues heretofore have been cne dollar a year. Under the new phui memberships are taken at $10.00 a year for thre years. Half the money thus obtained, it is explained, will remain in the county for the promotion of such agricultural projects as the hiirpnn mpmhprs determine. The other

half goes to the Ohio Farm Bureau

Federation, which pays the cost of the membership campaign and the expense of the state work. It also send", of its share, 50c a year for each member to the American Farm Bureau Federation, which cares for the national work of the farm bureau movement. According to Mr. Larimore, who is in Darke county helping to arrange for the campaign. 60 counties either have completed their $10 campaigns or are now in campaign, and a dozen more have scheduled campaigns. It is expected all 88 counties will be completed by May 1, with an aggregate membership of more than 125.000. There are now more than 60.000 members in the $10 counties and 25,000 in the $1 counties. All Ohio counties now have farm bureaus. Until recently Adams and Vinton did not, but each has organized a temporary bureau and Adams is now in its cam-

Darke County has opportunity to set j a record. According to J. H. Larimore, publicity director of the Ohio Farm Bureau Federation, this county, with 5,400 farmers, is probably the most farmer-populated county in the United States. A campaign for increased membership in the county farm bureau will be begun next Monday. The Ohio county having the largest farm bureau membership is Wood with 2.S50. Of the farmers in that county more than S0 are members. A Michigan county with 90 of lt3 farmers enrolled has a few more than 3,200 members and is the banner county in the United States in thai respect. Mr. Larimore points out that Darke county could surpass the Wood county record if only 5.T per cent of its farmers should enroll, and that, of the

Michigan county if 61 per cent enroll. Begins in Greenville. The campaign will be begun in Greenville Township. Monday. This is a change from previous arrangements for a beginning in Monroe. With the

expectation that Greenville township will be completed by Tuesday evening, Washington will be visited Wednesday. Monroe Thursday, Twin Friday, Butler the following Monday, and Harrison the following Tuesday,

with the remaining 14 townships com ing at the rate of one a day. Fifteen solicitors, all of them bonaf.de Ohio Farmers and each a member of his farm bureau back home, will be in the county under cnarge of a leader, also a farmer. These 16 men will be sent by the Ohio Farm Bureau Federation, which is conducting the campaign. These solicitors will each be accompariied by a Darke County farmer, acting as. driver. James Bert, of Greenville, is acting as county chairman for the local forces. The president of the farm bureau is H. E. McEowen, of Greenville, and the secretary-treasurer is E. T.
