r to Place WILLIAMSBURG, Ind., Jan. 26. Orders were taken for a large part of a carload of fertilizer at a meeting of the Williamsburg Township Farmers association here -in the M. E. church Tuesday, night. More orders are expected coon as the cards have reached the members.. All who wish fertilizer through the pool 'are -urged to state their requirements at once as -they must be turned in to the state office before Feb. 1. t Several knotty points regarding the operation of the pool were thrashed out at the meeting. One was mentioned by a member when he asked, "How can the pool get a better price than the private agent? Is it not natural that the manufacturers should take care of their agents first and give them a better price?" In answer, it was acknowledged that the price would not be cheaper to the pool unless it had a majority of the orders. If only a small number were in it, the pool would be ineffective in itself, and the prices probably would remain the same as at pres ent. Urges Support. "But if the farmers want lower prices and get. into this pool, it will have to be a success," said another in touch with affairs at the state office. "That is proven by the way the manufacturers are worrying right now. They started selling earlier this year than ever before and yet couldn't sell much. Down at Indianapolis the agents and manufacturers are in the federation ofilce all the time wanting to know what the farmers- are going to do. The worried manufacturers foretelling failure, prophesying green goods, promising to meet any price, we ret doing everything to keep us out of the pool. If they can do that, we're beaten, and will have to buy through them. And if we want to keep on buying from them, wo must pay thoir price." "Well," asked another farmer, "have we any say, after the price is quoted to the Federated Marketing Service, as to whether it is satisfactory to ns, or must we be bound to take the fertilizer at any pries that they say?" "No," said Archie Brooks, chairman

Fayette County Farm Bureau Entertains City Business Men

CONNERSVILLE, Ind.. Jan. 26. A banquet offered by the Fayette county Farm Bureau to the Chamber of Commerce of Connersvilie at Tuesday noon exemplifies a spirit of cooperation and cordiality between business men and country people of Fayette -county. The banquet had been planned some time before, but had been postponed on account of the war and other disturbing influences. About. 700 attended, 600 being seated at one time. The members of the Farm Bureau and the Chamber of Commerce assembled in the hall and marched down; tO the basement, where the tables were arranged and were seated at seven tables with farmers on one side and Chamber cf Commerce members on the other side fac ing them. Chicken Dinner After singing America led by the community leader, George Eckert, and an invocation by , the Rev. J. -W. McFall, an hour was spent in disposing of the dinner, furnished by the women members of the Fayette county Farm Bureau. v Over 150 chickens were supplied for this dinner and several -hundred pies. Twenty chickens were left uncut and these, with other unused portions of food, were used afterward to make up individual dinners which were packed in quart containers and delivered to 50 families recommended by the charitable authorities. Crawford Soeaks After the dinner, the Chamber of Commerce' was welcomed by C. W. Martin, president of the farm bureau, and Earl Crawford, vioa president of the Chamber of Commerce was called upon for a reply. . In calling upon him the chairman mentioned his titles as follows: Member of the legislative committee of the Farm Federation of Indiana, Director of the Federation representing the sixth district; Vice president of the Wayne county Farm Bureau, Past Master of the Milton Grange, Assistant cashier of the Fayette Bank and Trust company, member of the C6th session of the Indiana legislature and secretary of the Eastern Cattle Breeders' association. By the time the fourth title was enumerated, the crowd wa3 cheering each new one and before Crawford could speak the song leader swun? them into a tuneful tribute in which all present joined heartily. "Work Together." E. L. Ric.kert. vice president, cf the First National bank and president of the Chamber of Commerce, replied to the welcome, expressing appreciation of the dinner and citing the havoc that had been wrought by the bureau and business men attacking the dinner cooperatively as an example of what could be accomplished in other fields when the two get together. V. P. Barker, of the Merchantile department cf the Chamber of Commerce also replied to the farm bureau welcome, expressing appreciation of the dinner and of the spirit which prompted it. Legislative Work. After an accordeon solo by Ivan Brown, son of E. J. J. Brown of Connersvilie, which was encored, Russell Van Hook of the legislative committee of the Farm Federation of Indiana, told of the work that they were accomplishing, of the strong position of the farmers at present and what they were hoping to do in the future. He mentioned conditions abroad in England.

Fertilizer Orders of the association, "after the state office gets the best price it can, it will be referred to us and each man will have a chance to say whether he wants fertilizer at that price or not. After all have confirmed or withdrawn their orders, the report will be sent in and the township order filled accordingly." One of the main sources of doubt was brought to light when a member mentioned the possibility of getting green goods. "If we let the state office give out these big orders," he said,. "I don't see how we can help having some green fertilizer sent us. A factory will get more orders than it can fill and we will have some poor stuff shoved on us." To Get Good Stuff. "McCullom won't give the orders to one factory or a few factories," this man was told. "That is the reason we have had green fertilizer before, some factory would sell more than it could handle right. "This time each factory will be allowed only orders enough for as much fertilizer as it can manufacture easily and we "will get good stuff. The orders can be more easily proportioned among the factories according to their capacities this way, than if each factory were allowed to sell all it could, regardless of its capacity." Dolan Speaks. County Agent Dolan, who was present at the meeting, took opportunity to mention the short course and the corn show to be conducted in Richmond Feb. 7 and 8. "We have some fine speakers engaged," he said. "Mrs Sewell is known all over the state and got a rousing reception at the national convention of the American federation in Indianapolis. "Van Hook, of the legislative committee of the federation, will speak, and probably we will have someone to tell the town folks just what we really make on the. farm, what is our interest on' capital and what we get for our work. There are several classes for corn exhibits and other farm products and tbere.may be classes for food entries from the women as well." countries where great need exists for our products coincident with our own surplus which is now causing trouble with the farmers' nrices. Directors' Meeting. After the banquet, a directors' meeting of the farm bureau was held at which several questions from the legislative committee were presented for recommendation. An additional levy lor road purposes was voted down, a levy for state educational institution was recommended, but a levy of onehalf cent for the experimental station met with disfavor. It was recommended that the law should be changed to allow counties to appropriate more than the present amount for county agents if they wish and that the Employers' Liability law should be amended to protect farmers from its provisions. A. R. Giffin was appointed as delegate to the State Dairy association meeting. STOCK SELLS WELL AT HARTER AUCTION NEW MADISON, O., Jan. 26.

Though there were only two horses, there were enough bidders run up prices of $180 and $155. The cattle also sold at fair but not exhorbitant prices, the top being $102. There was a big crowd of friends and relatives. The clerks were Warren Duffield and P. C. King. Auctioneers Simon Weddle and Albert Hindman cried the sale.
