BELIEVES FARMERS

Of STATE HAVE SEEN DEPRESSION'S WORST fBy Associated Press) INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Feb. 6 "It ;eems now that we may reasonably lope the farmer in Indiana ha3 seen he worst of the depression." -In a discussion of farming condiions in Indiana, Evans Wollen, chair: nan of the War Finance corporation's Vgricultural loan agency for Indiana bus gives cheer to the Hoosier farmng communities.

iur. wooiien saia toaay tnat tne aa'ancements to Indiana banks approved y the finance corporation agency on tccount of loans for agricultural purroses now total $1,144,000. This sum s much, less than that advanced in tome other western states, notably owa. In an. explanation of the disirepancy, Mr. Woollen said that conlitions, both as to Danks and as to

aimers, are more satisfactory in Inliana than elsewhere. The act of Congress authorizing the .Var Finance Corporation's advancenents provides that none shall be nade after July 1, 1922. Mr. Wolien lieves that there will be no need of xtending this time limit so far as Inliana is concerned. "The use of public funds for private oans is an abnormal procedure only ustified, if at all, by the stress of tbnormal conditions," gays Mr. Woolen.

C. R. Davis, better known as "Cat", Davis, of, Jackson township, was among our visitors Saturday. Mr. Davi3 takes a philosophic view of conditions, and is not particularly worried over farm problems. He thinks that this is a time when farmers "should stick together and show their colors, wherever that may be the thing to do." In a brief discussion of the farm bloc in congress Mr. Davis said he is inclined to think that something ot the kind has been needed for some time, in view of what has happened to the farmers. He said, too, that he was wondering if it .was because of the fact that Senator Kenyo-n. of

Iowa, was the accepted leader of the bloc that he was painlessly removed from the senate to a district judgeship? There are, of course, many others who have done a little of the same kind of "wondering."' Mr. Davis fed and sold three cars of hogs in 1921, also 20 or more calves and cattle. He has 25 Big Type brood sows and 80 shoats on the place at this time. He thinks that live stock in this section is wintering in fine shape. Giving Cows a Chance

An Iowa dairyman, or shall we say.

a psychologist wno is giving time to the study of the diversions and social life ot dairy cows, concludes that cows have a might' dull time. They do not play. Cowy, he says, stand around aimlessly aH day. "They do nothing but eat and produce milk, therefore they are not happy. All animals love to play. Pigs grow better when they play around with each other; so do lambs." Well, really, we .hadn't given this matter much thought. But his plan sounds reasonable. Ttje cow needs recreation. Sure she does. She needs

to be kept happy, for, as this philoso

pher asserts: "A cow that is not happy cannot, do as well at the pail as she

should." The lowan is trying to im-

nrps? the folks at the state rnllpe!

with this newly discovered truth, so we pass his ideas on to cow owners, as a rational and valuable hint. After you have made yonr cows happy by teaching them a few innocent, games and give them rec;5s times for training and play; come in and tell us how greatly your cream checks have been

enlarged.

Reply to "Subscriber." We are in receipt of a letter from a

"subscriber," which asks a few ques

tions, the answers tr which would interest farmers generally, and which will be taken up later and answered, seriatum. In the m.eanwhile will say that farm bureau dues in Indiana now seem to be "stablized" at $5 per year. At the time of the organization of numerous county bureaus, the matter of dues was optional, DUt for the past two years $5 has been the agreed price. Of this amount $2 is remitted to state headquarters, at Indianapolis.

A portion is paid

state farm bureau officials," and the number of members in the state, we are unable to give the facts. This information has not been given out definitely and in understandable form by the state officials, or if so it has not reached the newspapers to our knowledge. We expect this information soon and will print it. We do know this, however. That the directors did some reducing of sal

aries at the last annual meeting, and that at least one man resigned an important office on that account. As to the number of members the Hoosier Farmer, official organ, has printed the statement: "One hundred thousand dollars all in Indiana," on top of its front cover page, for ever so long. Every member supposedly gets a copy. Elevators to Play Safe The Farmers' Grain Dealers' associa

tion of Iowa, representing 340 farm elevators, met at Fort Dodge recently. About 1,000 interested parties were

present. "It is out job," said one of the speakers, "to make the local ele

vator 100 per cent efficient, so that when the time arrives for such action we can fit properly into a terminal marketing plan." The session lasted three days and one of the several resolutions adopted gave approval to the V. S. Grain Growers' plan, and "urged that selling agencies be established as soon as possible." The agricultural bloc was also endorsed. ' The consensus of the gathering was that it is best to hold on to the gains already made, and to go very slow in making new ventures in the co-operative field this year. A survey of the marketing costs of 504 farmers 'elevators has been made

by the state college, at Ames, Iowa,

and the report is to the effect that while some elevators are handling corn as low as a cent a bushel, the

range on corn was from 1 to 7 cents.

and on oats from of a cent up

cents per bushel. Two cents was tha

margin' of the costs of the greatest

number of the farmers' elevators, 'both on corn and oats. - The claim is freely made that farmers are liberal patrons of the sellers of oleomargarine, under some one of its various names. We have no idea how true this may be, or to what extent, but we do know that this is largely the current opinion. We are not speaking of farmers In the Richmond

section, but of farmers who sell butterfat, or whole milk, even in the dairy

that hogs will continue to sell above their normal ratio to corn next fall. Huge crops are generally followed year or two later by an over-production of hogs. The big corn crops of 1920 and 1921 have now broken corn prices as low as they will go. From now on, barring another big crop, the tendency of corn prices will be upward. The corn market has absorbed the shock of the big crops and is on its wav toward recovery. The

districts, over a wide stretch of coun-jhog market has not yet felt the full try. The idea is that when cream wasi rce of the blow and wlU ?ot-untl1 bringing high prices that it was more December of 1922. The only things profitable to sell the cream, sweet or ."which can hold hop prices at a profas butter fat, than to churn it, also it!

The farmer has I what seems to be a certain over-sup-'

every right to be critical of the kind

of butter he and his family eats, and we believe this to be the rule. However, at a meeting of Wisconsin milk producers the other night, one speaker asserted that some milk farmers do buy oleomargarine and that such men should be barred from the association. Is Corn at Bottom. In a discussion of the probabilities of the hog market, and the relation of the coming price of corn and the price paid for hogs later in the year, Wallace's Fanner says: "Just because hogs now furnish a profitable market for corn is no sign

ply. One other thing might conceiv

ably save the situation, and that Is a vigorous "Eat More Pork" compaign, backed by farmers, packers and retail butchers."

$1-A-DAY FARMHAND STRIKES OIL ON LAND; RETIRES ON INCOME (By Associated Press) FRANKLIN, Ky., Feb. C. James Arthur Poteet, whose $l-a-day income recently was swelled to one of $51 when five oil wells were brought in on his farm near here, has "retired," it became known today when he quit his farm hand job.

With the wealth pouring in from

his 64-acre farm, which he purchased several years ago for a total of $10, Poteet has set out to spend part of it. He has just finished building a home, erected by his own hand3 at the cost of $250. The long-harbored desire of

ARREST DRUG PEDDLER BUFFALO, N. Y., Feb. 6. Federal agents arrested Jacob Levine of Chicago, in connection, they said, with a $100,000 drug robbery in Philadelphia last week. In searching Levine, the federal agents said, they found the baegage check for a trunk containing $25,000 worth of narcotics which was seized in New York on Friday.

NEW GARDEN FARM INSTITUTE ARRANGED FOUNTAIN CITY, Ind., Feb. 6. All preparations have been completed and a liberal attendance is assured for the first annual farmers' institute of New Garden township, which will be held in Fountain City Tuesday, with Mrs. Elizabeth Stanley, of Liberty, and J. W. Prigg, of Purdue, as the speakers. An evening program also is provided with local talent furnishing the entertainment. The sessions of the institute will be held in the Friends church. A recitation by Ruby Liebolt in the afternoon and a duet by Mildred and Anna Frances De Armond will give local touches to the program. Talks will be given during the evening by Jesse

Poteet's income is increasing at such a rate that, Simpson county residents say, he soon will be the richest man in this section of the state. News of his wealth has been spread broadcast and he is being swamped with letters requesting donations for charity.

ND ADJACENT cities will have an op

portunity to appreciate in 1922, as perhaps never before, how they can in

crease their profits by allowing the wholesalers of Indianapolis to serve them. Nineteen twenty-one was a hard year for merchants. Those who broke even were lucky. Nineteen twenty-two will be a better year, but every item of expense that can possibly be eliminated must go. You can't lower many of your overhead expense items; you can't cut taxes; you can't cut insurance; you can't raise prices. There is just one way to increase profits in 1922, and that is to stop the small leaks and speed up the turnover so you can do more business on your invested capital. Seventeen railroads and thirteen interurban lines radiate from Indianapolis. They make the city a natural distributing center.

Indianapolis is your logical buying point. Your nearest, quickest market. Freight and express charges are lower. If you buy farther away, every extra cent you pay in freight and express bills or in personal traveling expense is a leak. Why wait days for needed goods when almost hourly shipping service is at your command in dealing with Indianapolis wholesalers? Thus you can buy as you need, increase your turnover and profit, and at the same time give your customers better value for theirmoney. There are no more progressive wholesalers in the country than those of Indianapolis none who have a keener and more intimate knowledge of the retailer's problems and are better qualified to help in their solution. Indianapolis is the greatest inland market of the country, a reservoir where the most complete and diversified stocks are at your instant service. ;
