The 597,000 employes of the federal government are the "very protectors of our lives and the guardians of our property," the speaker asserted, yet, with the recent exception of postmasters, they are certified for service "without regard to their character or moral record." The quality of these federal employes, he added, "absolutely determines the quality of our government." Although the postal service was rapidly improving Mr. Bartlett said, "hundreds of thousands worth of mail is stolen annually and many believe that much may be laid at the doors of the employes themselves." Says System Crippled Although the commission in his opinion had built up an "extremely creditable organization considering the limitation of finances," Mr. Bartlett asserted it was laboring under the serious evil of having "about one half of our employes borrowed from other departments," adding that it would j "readily be seen how this cripples our control and belittles our identity and authority." "It is our work not only to supply the departments with the best labor," he concluded, "but to speak with authority that they keep always within the law, the rules and the spirit of civil service. As an ardent admirer of the late Theodore Roosevelt I am determined that the commission where he once served and left lasting imprints of his strong character shall continue to be the home of the 'square deal'."

FARMING CONDITIONS FAVORABLE IN STATE SAYS INDIANA REPORT (Bv Associated Press) INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 16 Farming conditions generally are favorable in Indiana at this time, according to the semi-monthly report of George C. Bry ant. agricultural statistician to the United States department of agriculture, announced today. The report follows: Temperatures for the period were somewhat higher than normal with plenty of precipitation for best results of fall seeded crops. Some plowing for spring planting is being done. Corn husking is considerably over half completed. The ear worm and mold damage is very extensive and farmers in some sections are burning their damaged corn as it is no good as corn but makes splendid luel. But little new- corn is being sold. Good rains and warm weather have put the -wheat in splendid condition to enter the winter. A few scattered reports of Hessian fly damage havvc been received. Rye Average Increases i Rye is in splendid condition. Acreage has been greatly increased in many counties. I The few potatoes that are going to! market are bringing a good price. J Only a few counties have a surplus! this year. Young clover and alfalfa are look-; ing excellent and stand is very good, i Tobacco sales will start about the' last of the month. Fairly good prices i are looked for. i The cholera epidemic amone hoes! has been checked practically in all localities. Other live stock in good condition. Plenty of corn huskers are available but not many are being hired. Farm-1 ers are doing most of the work them-! selves in order to get as much as pos-i sible out of the crop. The price is' running from 25 cents to 35 cents for: io pounds. MINIATURE LIVESTOCK SHOW TO BE STAGED (Hy Associated Press LAFAYETTE. Ind., Nov. 16.

1921 by Int u Feature IU BENEFIT FARMER ! IS TO HELP MANKIND ! STATES GOV. M'CRAYj INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 16 The third! annual convention of the State Farm Federation has drawn farmers from every county in Indiana in larger numbers than at any previous gathering. An interesting program has been ar ranged and several speakers of note are billed for addresses. Governor Warren T. McCray addressed the assemblage Tuesday afternoon. He expressed sympathy for the farmers, whom he said had been getting the worst of the bargain for some time. The governor said, in part: "When 60 percent of the population of the country derives its living from the products of agriculture, it means that we can not let the farmers' interests suffer and expect general industry to progress," the governor said. "I am doing all in my power to help the Indiana farmer. At a recent conference with the secretary of agriculture at Washington, I recommended that action be taken by the government to stimulate the use of corn. I was told that all countries tha.t were in need of corn are buying it, except Russia, and it would be inadvisable to extend credit to that country for the purchase of corn, because such an action would favor the perpetuation of Bolshevism. "To benefit the farmer is to benefit the balance of mankind. My heart beats in sympathy for him. If industry is to prosper, the farmer must be aided his produce must bring its price." The Governor pointed out that relief would come for the farmer by adpustments being made other than in the prices commanded by foodstuffs. The price of labor must come down; taxes might be reduced, he said. Urges Better Cc-Operation. John G. Brown, president of the federation, urged the co-operation of all farmers in tlie state to establish a satisfactory market for farm produce. He emphasized the right of a fanner to have a voice in the distribution of foodstuffs, by saying that, although all producers are consumers, all consumers are not necessarily producers and are apt to act to the detriment of producers unless restrained by farmers representation. "Many farmers have mortgaged their farms in the last few years to carryout needed improvements," Mr. Brown said. "If financial conditions in the country should force the farmer to liquidate, I have no doubt that from 25 to 40 percent of them would go bankrupt. "All thinsrs revert to the farmer. Successful business depends on his having money to ply his trade. Towns and cities depend on agriculture as on no other industry." Advice to farmers to proceed sanely and quietly, to resolve to wrong no body, to destroy nobody and nobody's business, and to determine to organize a better marketing arrangement and to put it into practice, was given by C. H. Gustafson, president of the United States Grain Growers, Inc. Duties of County Agent. Duties of the county agricultural agent were defined as "helping the farmer to help himself" by H. E. Ackerson, county agricultural agent at Crawfordsville, Indiana, in an address at the evening session. The office of county agent was created partly out of a plan to check the movement of farmers from the farms to the cities by making farming a more profitable occupation, Mr. Aekerson explained. "Complete co-operation between the farmer and agent should be encouraged.' he said, "for the farmer has problems which the agent is prepared to solve. Experience has shown that vast savings were effected when agricultural agents were consulted." Humorist Will Lecture At Williamsburg Friday WILLIAMSBURG, Ind. Nov. 16. Harry C. Kleckner, humorist and lecturer, of Portland, will deliver a lecture in the Friends church at Williamsburg. Friday evening at 7:30 o'clock.

The Farm and The Farmer By William R. Sanborn
The longest drawnout chore on the corn belt is that of shredding. There is a whole lot of it now being done iu this section and it seems that every rig is still in action. Shredding is a neighborhood operation in which all the ring take a hand. The attendance at farm sales on fine fall days has been affected' by this passion for shredding, also the men who prefer husking a load or two of corn to attending a sale have been noticeable for their absence. It is expected that 500 boys and girls of pig and calf club fame, all be ing prize winners, "will be favored by a reception given in their honor at farm bureau headquarters in Chicago, on Tuesday afternoon, November 29 That evening they will be given 2 free show in a Chicago theatre, where "Spring Valley" and "The Homestead," two farm pictures, will be shown. The farm bureau now has a film service and these are the two original farm scene pictures so far produced. Interest Rates Lowered The war finance corporation has reduced its rate to banks to 5V" Per cent on loans carrying a renewal privilege and to 5 per cent on six months' loans without the privilege of renewal. "These reductions," says Herbert Hoover, "mean that business recovery is on the way." The Chicago federal reserve bank has cut its rediscount rate to 5 per cent, while New York, Boston and Philadelphia are down to 4M: Per cent on rediscounts. The Poultry Census If we accept the 1920 poultry census figures as correct the total value of the chickens on our farms at the date of the census was $349,508,867, against $140,193,129 in 1910. If the census enumerators found all those chickens, we may be sure that there were a few millions which they did not discover, which may be counted in for good measure. But taking the census figures at their face value, remember that they only include farm flocks, and that back lot chickens, of which there are industrious millions, are not listed. The number of these cannot even be guessed at. Chickens are everywhere outside the large cities, in fact there are often many more chickens in one small country village than there are people in the township. High Prices for Hens In comparing the value of our chickens in 1920 with the valuation given for 1910 we must not forget the high average price of all poultry one year ago. as compared with 1910.
