THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM, RICHMOND, IND., MONDAY, OCT. 24, 1921.

WAYNE FARM BUREAU CONDEMNS RAILROADS' AND UNIONS' STAND Adoption of resolutions supporting the proposed reduction In freight ntcp, condemning the stands of both the railroads and the labor unions, and supporting their national organization in demanding repeal of the Adamson and Esch-Cummins laws, was one of the actions of the county meeting of the Wayne county Farm

Bureau, Saturday night. The meeting

was held in the high school audi torium.

The resolutions were presented by

H. H. Stanford, of Green township, and seconded by L. C. Palmer of Web

ster township. They called attention!

to the present situation, and the necessity of lower rates for restoring prosperity. The resolutions recommend that wage reductions be passed along In reduced rates, approve the action of the American Farm Bureau Federation In demanding repeal of the two laws mentioned, and call upon the government to control mail trains and those carrying necessities of life. The list of candidates suggested by the nominating committee was elected practically as named, additional candidates being offered only In three offices. The new officers are: Everett Hunt, president: Theodore Davis, first vicepresident; W. D. Scott, second vicepresident; A. L. Baldwin, third vicepresident; Mrs. Anna Beeson, fourth

vice-president; Ed Dietemeyer, secre

tary; R. B. Morrow, treasurer; delegates to the state convention, Everett Hunt and Horatio King; alternates, L. C. Palmer and Andrew Kerber. Mr.

Dietemeyer was elected by an over

whelming vote in spite of his protest Arthur Curme whose name had been proposed as treasurer, called atten

tion to the fact that he had held office

for two successive terms, and asked for the election of Mr. Morrow. Give Committee Names

The nominating committee was appointed by Earl Crawford, who presided, immediately after the opening of the meeting. Members of the committee, which included representatives

from each township, were: Henry Schlegel, Wayne: Clark Crowe, Boston; Ed Hunt, Abington; Harry Smith, Center; Andrew Kerber, Washington; Cal Davis, JackBon: Verne DeHayes, Harrison; Charles Wilson, Clay; Clarence Harris, Jefferson; Edward Beeson. Dal ton; Paul Cain, Perry; H. H. Stanford, Green; W. B. Strong, New Garden; L. C. Palmer, Webster; Everett Hunt, Franklin. The treasurer's report, presented by Mr. Curme, showed total receipts of $4,295.47 for the year, of which over $4,000 was from membership fees. Expenditures Included $2,042 state due3, $100 for the pig club, $330.33 for office expense, $500 for the salary of the county agent, $22$.18 for stenographer's services, $67 for newspaper advertising, $10 for legal fees, $20 as a contribution to the Marion county farm bureau which fought a raise In the tax assessment, and $755.65 for expenlltures for chinch bug olL Much of this oil Is still on hand, Mr. Curme reported, and Is being kept for the next season. Good Program. The program of entertainment Included music, a speech by Perry Crane, state secretary of the farmers organization, and one by Earl Crawford. The program opened with a solo by " Miss Rhea CTandall, 22 North. Twenty-second street, which was heartily encored. Mr. Crane's speech dealt with the accomplishments of the (liferent branches of the organization. In th3 national body, the legislative committee alone is worth the 50 cent membership, he said, citing the $30 averago saving to every farmer that has been made through holding down the

valuations on which the roads based their guaranteed 6 per cent rates. Work done by livestock, dairying, and other departments in both the state and national organizations was also mentioned. Hear About Service. In hearing of the work of the Federated Marketing Service, the audience learned for the first time of the dangerous situation in which the body was placed this fall, and hearty applause greeted Crane's dramatic account of the difficulties overcome. "All fanners held their orders, thinking that this was a company instead of

a purchasing agency,- he said, "and we had few orders until Sept. 1. Then we arranged for all orders to be filled except about 1,500 tons. Every fer

tilizer company in the state, even those we had bought from last spring, refused to sell to us, and we had to go outside the state. For the last few tons Mr. Boyle went to Savannah, Georgia, where he contracted with a cotton and tobacco fertilizer factory.

"While he was there, orders started rolling In to Indianapolis at the rate of 1,000 tons a day. He took a chance when he telegraphed him, and contracted for 8,000 tons. Two days later the old line company's agents appeared and offered $2 a ton more to the manufacturers to let the fertilizer lay but they were under contract already. Get Guarantee. "Boyle got a guarantee from the railroads that they would make six days running time to the Ohio river, and an agreement from the factory that fertilizer could be refused that was not in Indiana within the time

limit. Then they started shipping and broke all records, putting the fertilizer trains across the river in less time than the passenger trains." A violin solo by Miss Bernice Richard, who was accompanied on the piano by her sister, Miss Meta Richard, both of 24 North Twelfth street, followed Crane's address. An encore was givejj in response to the insistent applause. The meeting was closed by Earl Crawford with a strong appeal to members to preach organization to all their neighbors, and to push membership and organization of the farm bureau as strongly as possible.

The Farm and The Farmer By William R. Sanborn

An American dollar can be sold for 35,000 rubles, soviet money, in Russia.

The buying price for corn was re-1 duced 2 cents to 45 cents in Richmond on Saturday. Rye and oats are unchanged at 90 cents and 30 cents. Charles Carpenter of the Richmond Flour mills, said on Monday that wagon wheat was continuing to come in, and that he had bought 800 bushels on last Thursday and 500 on Friday. The price has been maintained at $1.15

for weeks, despite the slide in general market prices. Mr. Carpenter said that while some of the fanners had talked of selling a little new corn, none had been delivered at the mill nor price quoted on this crop, so far. "I have noticed a little dry rot In some of my corn", said V. Murray, living south of Milton, "But mostly in spots where there are speckled ears. The straight yellow corn is free from rot, but there is some ear worm and mold infestation In everybody's corn down our way, it seems. My corn is running 50 bushels or better and the damage is not great. We have just gotten done shucking." Asked as to his wheat acreage Mr. Murray said he had sown no wheat this fall. Always Finds Work.

A Richmond merchant tells the following little story. "Wife and I visited some farm friends the other afternoon

and started to town just as it was getting dark. As we pulled out into the road a man hailed us and asked if we were going to town, and could he ride?

Certainly, said I, and he climbed in. "This man lived in Richmond, had a family to support, and was manfully tackling the job. It turned out that he was busy shucking corn about 4 miles from town, was also feeding a lot of stock before returning home every night. His story was that he was earning $2 a day, with his dinner, and that he walked out every morning and back again at night. He was out of work and didn't propose to loaf. "I guess you have learned," said the merchant, "that the war is over, and that $2 is almost as good as $4 when everything was at the top. "Well, a dollar goes a lot farther now, said the man. But I know a dozen jobless men who wouldn't tackle corn husking if they were taken out and back in a car. One of them said

to me the other day, let the farmer do his own husking and farm work. I won't Not all working men are like

that, however." Corn Drying Nicely. Field workers of various colleges of agriculture are reporting from 3 to 4 per cent less moisture in shocked corn this year than Is usual at this season. They ascribe this to warmer than average summer days and to an open fall with much sunshine. . Indiana Pure-Bred Cattle The government has just sent out a census report on pure-bred cattle in the United States on January 1, 1920. This interesting statement shows that the census of that year proved that

but 3 per cent of all the cattle in the . country were pure-breds, the total! number of these being given as 1,981, '

514 head. Of this total Indiana is credited with 50,624, of which 29,509 were beef breeds and 21,115 dairy cattle. Of the

beef breeds there were 4,807 Aber-I

deen-Angus; 6,615 Herefords; 1483 Polled Durhams; 16,147 Shorthorns and 757 of all other beef strains. Pure-Bred Dairy Herds As to pure-bred dairy cattle In Indiana we find that there were but 509

Ayrshires and 131 Brown Swiss in the

state. The Guernseys ranked higher, there being 1,215 of these. The Jerseys lead the dairy breeds with 9,921 head, against 8,477 Holstein-Friesians. Unclassed dairy animals numbered 862. Taking the country as a whole there were 528,621 Holsteins against 231,834 Jerseys in the country at the date of the census. The Shorthorns led in beef breeds, 416,995 against 405,580 pure-bred Herefords. Tariff Act Extended Whatever the benefits conferred upon the farmer and the country at large by the emergency tariff, these have been extended by congress until

February 21. This Indicates that the house expects to complete its labors on the permanent bill and to have the new general tariff in working order before that date. John Cloverseed Says: "If you want to make a success of raising hogs, keep them healthy," says John Cloverseed. "Further, they should have clean eating and splendid sleeping quarters, which are frequently disinfected and kept Bweet. Do the same with their runways. Feed your pigs a balanced ration, give them a pasture to feed and run in ; exercise is important to health and vigorous growth. Furnish your hogs plenty of fresh water, all the mineral matter they need, and be sure to isolate all sick pigs at the first sign of trouble." Jersey Cattle Club Sale The Mississippi Cattle club recently held a sale at which all the animals were donated by the membership, the proceeds to be spent "to increase the

number and quality of Jerseys In Mississippi." Hore than 400 breeders were present and the sale was proclaimed a success. The top cow, Josephine's Kitty, topped the sale at $250. The enthusiastic Jersey breeders expect their coming fall sale to be

the greatest "Jersey Day" ever seen in the state.

1.3 PER GENT OF SHEEP OF PUREBRED GLASS WASHINGTON, Oct. 24. Of the 35,033,516 sheep reported on farms in the country in 1920 only 1.3 percent, or 463,504 were classed as pure-bred. One-fourth of the pure-breds were Shropshires, numbering 124,453. Rambouillets were next with 106,819. and Merinos third with 59,876. The last two breeds are the favorites in the western states while the Shropshires flourish in the central state. For Ohio, Merinos were in larger numbers than in any other central state, 24,170 being reported. Ohio has more sheep than any other two central states. Shropshires are second in number in Ohio and first in Indiana.
