It is this association with which Indiana members of the farmers' federation agreed to market their wool if they wished to pool it. The association has a warehouse in Columbus, and 20,000 members in the state. They claim to have handled 2.000,000 pounds of wool in 1919; 3.000,000 in 1920. and have 5,000,000 pounds in sight for the 1921 season. This prospective increase is probably in large part due to the expectations of the Indiana clip. Various Prices. Prices that were paid in 1918 are said to have averaged 72 cents, and in 1919, 67 cents. The 1920 report is not yet completed. Last sales from this warehouse show prices ranging from 18 Cents for seedy and burry, with 15 cents as the lowest, to 38V. cents for the Delaine and 32 cents for half blood.

11 II 11 .11 CHICAGO BANKER SAYS MUST BE PROVIDED BY WILLIAM R. SANBORN In an interview at Washington, on Monday, Carl Vrooman, of Illinois, former assistant secretary of agriculture, said: "The American farmer, smothered in surplus crops, must be provided with export markets now, or a post mortem later." This was said in comment upon the Senator Morris measure for the creation of a $50,000,000 agricultural foreign trade financing corporation, to be financed by earnings of the U. S. Grain Corporation, which controlled the wheat market in war years, and actually did make money. This new corporation would take care of all our export surplus sales. ' Mr. Vrooman stated that "the business stagnation resulting from the destruction of the purchasing power of the farmer, is costing the country more every month than the total value of these surpluses. If they could be disposed of in no other way we all would be better off if they were dumped into the sea," This latter statement presents a great chance for argument. It is not a two-sided but many-sided question. We have no great surplus of wheat, end should anything serious happen to the growing crop there might be an accute shortage of export grain. This , . . . ! However, aoes not aDL.iv to corn oats. - ... , r'e or barley, for which we have but a comparatively limited foreign market at best. Mp- Collander's Views. In hls address at Columbus before 1he middle west farmers, W. F. Colmiiuri, oLaiisiii;ia.n 01 me unio i arm uureau, siaiea tnat: mere win not be a great surplus of wheat, and should anything happen to the crop there is danger of a slight shortage. With extensive damage a real shortlage might develop." There is no deI nying that, of course, but the outlook ' Mather, of the Chicaco Tribune, had ! Reynolds said: Better Than Expected. "There have been fewer industrial failures than most of us anticipated severel months ago, and bankers and t creditors have joined in helping save I from bankruptcy and rehabilitating I many concprns. Liquidation is proj ceeding and credit is easing, although 1 the easing of money rates at the i present time of dull business has little I effect and meaning. ine cnier proDiems aneaa. as i kpp flip sitiiatinn aiv thp annpalc fnr f.infi Wiflatinn ' ond thp franco. tinn Hili " a Ani,calc fM iaT..E r 1 ....... v,.

AMERICAN FARMERS WITH EXPORT MARKETS tariffs to help any particular class or raise or maintain prices of particular products means further disturbance of the relativity of prices, the whole fabric of which now is rather out of joint and toward an equitable re-adjustment of which we should be and re striving. It is not possible to defeat the eventual results of supply and demand, and hence it is unwise to obstruct the natural and inevitable course of prices by ill-considered class legislation." , Are Asking for Millions. The U. S. Grain Growers, Inc., are making an urgent call for funds with hich to handle the coming wheat crop. These are the men who are really behind the anti-Board of Trade movement and back of the fight at Washington, also that in the Illinois legislature. As the principal section of the American farm bureau, and being the culmination of that body's ectivities. the U. S. Grain Growers have a broad field from which to harvest funds. They are asking some 9,000 country elevators to put up from $1.0CO to $10,000. At an average of $1,000 each, a fiind of $9,000,000 would be raised, which wouldn't go very far. They really want an average loan of c Ann t..,A Affnn nnn ... "i iuuu m f. . . - , . iiuiu iue trievaiurs. uu iui ui 11110 the county farm bureaus will each be given a cljance to loan or donate $500 up, and unless the original plan has been changed it is enabled to make a membership charge of $10 to all farmers who market grain through the co-operative elevators. This idea has never appealed to us as practical. It is piling too much overhead on the farmer, who first of all pays $5 to $15 as dues to the farm bureau, this being divided between the county, state and national bureaus. Aside from the three sources of revenue mentioned we must not forget the assessments or rarm oureau states, as states, independent of what the counties may loan or donate, or what the elevator men may do, or the individual farm membership may contribute in any form. A Flood of Solicitors. As originally drawn the contract to market grain individually or co-operatively through the United States Grain Growers ,lnc, implied the payment of a $10 fee by the farmer. On this basis a flood of solicitors at so much per day and expenses have been sent out over the grain states, for the securing of signatures of elevator managers and of individual farmers, with what success we are yet unadvised. Marketing contracts are drawn for five crop years. It is clearly evident that country elevators could have made very little clear profit on the declining market of the last six months. Many of them must have inevitably taken losses, this applying to co-operatives that have attempted to carry grain for a rise. Whatever money ihe rural elevators may contribute as loans must therefore come through the help of the country banks, which already hold a lot of their paper. An Ambitious Venture.

May Do Little This Year. Taken in the mass, however, It is a fact that the U. S.

The best informed are inclined to think that, at this late day with the wheat harvest but a few weeks away, it cannot be expected that the new marketing organization will make much of a dent in the coming crcp, in which case it is probable that the state and divisional marketing organizations will endeavor to carry out their original marketing plans, while a waging the getting into action of the U.
