The Farm and the Farmer By William R. Sanborn
MISSIONARY
(Continued from Page One.) so nruch to aid the progress of this country. She stated that these people are widely known but that the world
at largo does not know that they are
negroes. "The greatest agricultural chemist in the United States Is a negro," said Mrs. Hill. "He is Prof. George W.
Carver, head of the department of re
search chemistry at Tuskeegee institute, Tuskeegee. Ala, Born of negro slave parents, this famed negro has made startling discoveries along the line of agricultural research. He came to the fore during the late war through his discovery of marvelous possibilities in the manufacture of fast dyes from certain agricultural products. Makes Various Dyes
He made 22 different shades of
dye from onions, 30 from sweet potatoes, 26 from the grape vine and 17 from the dandelion and several oth
er?." This man recently appeared before a congressional committee on the tariff question and told them of many heretofore unknown- possibilities of
the peanut, which amazed his hearers.
lie displayed as proof of his state
ments, samples of the by-products which he had discovered. The speaker stressed the mechan
ical inventions which have been made and perfected by negroes, especially
those of automatic lubrication by the
inventor of the McCoy oil cup, a nepro by the name of McCoy at Detroit, Mich. This man has 50 inventions to
his credit- Another famous inventor mentioned by "Mrs. Hill is Granville
T. Woods, a negro Inventor in New
York City who has made 58 inventions, all of theni ejectric telephone appliances. The speaker also stated that telegraphing between moving trains
was made possible through the inven
tion of a negro. Another startling revelation by Mrs
Hill was that the greatest friend of
the advancement of the negro is a Jew,
Julius Rosenwald, a wealthy merchant
of Chicago who has given a great deal
toward the building of schools for
the negro in the south. Wednesday's Program

ARE SELLING GRAIN ; We are advised by the American !
farm bureau that the "U. S. Grain Growers" are marketing wheat, but an analysis of the story shows that the individual members of the committee ap
pointed to salvage the U. S. Grain
Growers, Inc., are the men back of the
deal and are the real owners or tne stock. This view Is further borne out
by the statement of the Farm Bureau
News Letter, which says:
"The TJ. S. Grain Growers' Sales com
pany, of Minneapolis, has an initial
capital stock of $25,000 fully paid up.
Eventually It Is planned to nave tnis stock owned by the TJ. S Grain Growers' sales company."
This shows that the old grain grow
ers have neither part nor lot in the new deal, at present, except that northwestern contract signers in the spring wheatxarea, are invited to market grain at Minneapolis through the new state
sales association.
As there were no signs that the
grain growers would be in shape to handle a bushel of the 1922 wheat crop, at the time of harvest, or Indeed up to this date, signers could not be expected to hold their wheat indefinitely, if they desired to sell, and at this late day it is almost a certainty that the bulk of the crop has been sold. But there can be no doubt whatever that the new organisation at Minneapolis will be kept busy.
The first two cars of grain to be
handled were owned by J. T. Faa, of
Divide county, N. D. Prior to harvest it was estimated that the old grain
growers had a membership of around
8,500, of which 5.000 were accredited to North Dakota, 400 to South Dakota,
and 3,100 to Minnesota. These signers
of the contract paid $85,000 in dues and represented possibly 14,000,000 bushels of wheaC besides other grain.
These contracts, remember, cover five wheat crops and the new northwestern
sales agency should be pretty busy next summer.
Has Seat on Exchange. The new sales organization has Its
own charter in Minnesota, and the
manager, T. ti. nagen, or laKevuie,
Minn., is an old board of trade operator
and rrain handler, both at Duiutn ana
Minneapolis. Mr. Hagen retired from
the exchanges two years ago and then
returned to his farm to- grow grain In
stead of to make a living selling It.
The new concern ha3 secured a seat
on the Minneapolis exchange and will do business "regularly" under the rules
on that floor.
The directors of the new grain house
are well known farm bureau official in various states, headed by E. H. Cun
ningham, head of the Iowa state farm bureau. The officers are: J. F. Reed,
Minnesota, president; A. F. Nelson,
vice-president; Thomas E. Cashman, treasurer and T. II. Hagen, secretary and manager. The farm bureau membership will Join us4 In wishing the new concern unlimited success. Them's My Sentiments, Too Cliff Gregory, editor of the Prairie Farmer, comes pretty nearly voicing the sentiments of this writer with reference to the alleged scarcity of cars for handling wheat, thus crowding it into already congested market centers. We have looked this matter equare in the eye for some time, and, like brother Gregory, found no cause to get excited about it. Under the headline; "No Cars? Never Mind," Mr. Gregory writes as folows: "There is a scarcity of cars for moving grain. Somehow we can't get excited about it. We can't seem to keeD ourselves from dumping our crops on the market at harvest time and breaking prices. This is especially true when we can tell from the witsful look in our banker's eye that he would like to have us pay his note. "The car shortage seems likely to do for us what we have been unable to do for ourselves force to market our crops In an orderly manner. The effect on prices io already apparent. Prospects indicate that grain prices may be a good deal better this winter, if we don't flood the market And the railroads won't give us cars enough to do that. "So let's thank the elevator man and the station agent when they tell us they can't get cars, and tell the banker he'll have to wait a while longer. We'll be able to take a bigger slice off our note when we do sell." Wheat Tariff and Prices.
When some political spellbinder
points with pride to the tariff on wheat
and Its tremendous benefit to the
farmer, it, will. be well to remember that the world's crop and the world's
demands figures more largely In the
maxing or our home prices than does any possible tariff law that we could enact. Were we now to have a tariff of $5 per bushel on wheat it is a practical certainty that it would not add
one cent a bushel to the price at New
i or, uucago, or on farms in Wavne
county.
This is because we are not Importers of wheat We raise enough and
to spare, in fact are heavy exporters of that cereal. True it is that a heavy
Import tax on Canadian wheat pre
vents dumping or surplus Canadian
gram at our milling points. But that
matters but little. The Canadian sur
plus will all be marketed and thW too in competition with our own. We
must meet that competition in Eng
land, and on the continent the final market of the surplus ' wheats of-all export countries, including Argentina,
Mancnuna, India, Austrailia, Canada etc American Farm Labor

management department, of Purdue.
recently said:
"The European farmer has been
held up as an example to the Ameri
can farmer because of the high yields
of crops obtained per acre. In Amer
ica land has been plentiful and labor
has been scarce and high prices; in Europe the opposite has been more largely true. The result has been that the American farmer sacrificed high yields so that one man could care for more acres of crops." In statistics recently published by the department of agriculture it was shown that the highest yields of crops obtained in Europe wete in Belgium. The yields of crops per acre in Belgium were approximately two times the yield per acre in the United States as a whole. But the production of crops per man in the United Statefc was approximately two times the production per man in Belgium; five times that in Italy and two times that in the United Kingdom and France. Human beings are the nations greatest natural resources. It is just as important to conserve labor as it is to conserve" land, forests or any other natural resource. The wealth of a nation Is largely measured in terms of the production of a day's labor. - Negro Farmers Progressing A colored farm community in Lee county, Arkansas, furnishes an example of substantial progress mado by negro farmers who have benefitted
from agricultural extension work. Of the 75 families in this community, 50 own their own farms, comprising almost 4,000 acres and valued at about
$200,000. In accord with the safe-
faming system advocated in extension workers in Southern states, these families for the most part raise food and feed sufficient to meet the needs or. themselves and their stock each year, by growing corn, legumes, hogs, poul try and good gardens, in addition to their cotton crops. Peas Grown for Windbreaks. To use peas as windbreaks to pro
tect growing plants from the heavy winds which occur in that Island is an idea of the experiment station, in
Gaum, Philippine Islands. The depart
ment of agriculture is responsible for this statement. It says that the pigeon pea, grown in such experiments. Is planted around the garden in double rows. It makes a thick growth, reaching a height of 10 to 15 feet, bears large quantities of edible peas, and is
effective without replanting for two or three years. It is not stated wheth

AID IN CLEARING UP. NEW JERSEY SLAYING
NEW BRUNSWICK, N. J Oct 17.
Arrest of a man and a woman whose
blood-stained handkerchiefs were found near the scene of the murder of the Rev. Edward Wheeler Hall and
Mrs. Eleanor Mills was expected be
fore nightfall. Prosecutor Beekman and his aides
let it be known that they attach much
importance to these two handker
chiefs, the first tangible clues to come
mto their possession.
It was announced that Henry H. Stevens, a brother of Mrs. Hall, widow
or .tne slain pastor, would be sum
moned today to tell once more his story of his movements on the night
of the crime. Crack Marksman
Stevens, a crack marksman, was
planning to go to Europe, he said, but was forced to postpone his voyage because of the official attitude and the
fact his testimony might be required
Mrs. Hall may be questioned today. Willie Stevens, the eccentric brother of Mrs. Hall is also to be questioned
today, authorities announced.
The local authorities are keeping up
the air of intense activity which they
assumed yesterday and in unofficial
statements are promising "something
doing" within 24 hours.
They declined to state how they
came into possession of the bloody
handkerchiefs which are said to form
their best clue.
Two New Leads.
Besides the handkerchiefs one of
which was said to have a letter "S
embroidered on a corner, the county officials were today in -possession of
two more leads in their probe.
1. A woman has gone to the authorities with a story of seeing two persons, a man and a woman, surveying the vacant field on the edge of which the bodies of the pastor and the sexton's wife were found. This woman told the prosecutor she saw the man and woman at the scene Thursday afternoon. It is believed their names have been mentioned prominently in connection with the case. 2. Love letters not especially impassioned, written by Dr. Hall to Mrs. Mills, containing reference to the proposed elopment, have been produced, it Is understood they were found by Charlotte Mills, among her mother's things, and turned over to Charlotte's lawyer. "Dear Wonder Heart," the rector called Mrs. Mills and again "My Gypsy Queen." She called him "Dear Babykins" in some of her letters. It was stated today that Miss
Queen Mary is one of the most honored women in Europe, already having 23 honorary degrees.

The maid to be questioned about the
telephone call that evidently summon

The girl is said to have heard the phone bell ring and to have seen tba Rev. Hall take off the receiver and say excitedly "Yes, yes, yes." Prosecutor Seekman and detective
Toften of Somerset county arrived un
usually early at the court house. As they were hurrying up the steps
to their office. Beekman said "Henry
Stevens, Mrs. Hall's brother is to be questioned today. I may have some
news for you real soon." New Witness. Authorities indicated that they have a new witness whose story they have received. This witness, a Hungarian woman, who lives in the vicinity of the Philips farm, where the bodies of the rector and the choir leader' were
found, said she saw a woman examin-l
ing the various paths on the farm the afternoon before the murder. Authorities said this witness, a widow, was paying for the farm on which she lived, on the installment plan. There was a heavy mortgage on the property, detectives said, but this had been lifted by payment of a lump sum since the murder. Mrs. Annie Langale another Hungarian woman, who authorities say Willie Stevens, the eccentric brother of Mrs. Hall, frequently visited, is to be questioned.
