OF U. S. DETERMINE PROGRESS - LOWDEN
(By Associated Tress) CHICAGO, Dec. 12. The progress of the nation is dependent upon America's agricultural Buccess and no national rolicy for America that does not make agriculture its cornerstone is sound, declared Frank O. Lowden, former governor of Illinois, speaking here today
hefore the American Farm Bureau
Federation.
The agricultural problem is not one of class, for it involves the very existence of our institutions and the fu
ture of America can not be contem
plated with a5surance unless America
remains, fundamentally, an agricul tural nation, he asserted. "Until we restore the logical rela
tionship between the prices of farm
products and those of other commodi-
for warehouse facilities so that it should is impossible," said Governor Lowden. "If that improvement continues until
normal is reached we can expect busi
ness to be generally in full swing," he
added. Blames Present Systems
The present marketing and distributing systems were blamed for much of the farmer's depression by Governor Lowden, who said "provision must be made for more orderly marketing and lorwarehouse facilities so that it should never be necessary to sell a commodity below cost of production because if ttored and held the world some day will be glad to pay that cost. "Co-operative societies in . many branches of agriculture are solving the farmer's problems, not by price fixing, but by studying the probable demand, thereby adjusting production. The cooperative societies being organized by the American Farm Bureau Federation are based upon sound economic principles. By orderly, intelligent marketing they are seeking to correct injustice. "From a farmer's standpoint the
most disturbing thing is the demoralized condition in Europe, which furnishes the market for our surplus farm products. Other industries may succeed without stabilized Europe, but with the European market destroyed, American agriculture will languish for many years."

COUNTRY HAS COAL j We are buying quite a lot of corn now, and have been for the past few weeks, said A. H. Dorsel, head of the Dorse! Milling company, at Liberty. "Our present price is 60 cenls for new corn and as we had a bumper crop this year farmers are inclined to market some of it, thi3 being especially true of those without ample crib room." Mr. Dorsel ays that he has been paying $1.20 for wheat for some time and that many farmers are satisfied
to sell a little at that figure. Others have cleaned out their bins rather than to carry their grain over, and this has resulted in the receiving o! some wheat almost daily. Asked a3 to the present supply of coal in Union county, Mr. Dorsel said that while th. mill handles no coal there are two good coal concerns in Liberty, and they are now sufficiently stocked to meet all demands Liberty has mad 3 no complaint of a shortage of coal in some weeks. '
This voices the general condition in our country towns, so far as soft coal
users are concerned. . The various elevators and coal yard men have been able to supply all comers of late, apparently, although ut times a little diplomatic dividing of receipts have been necessary, so that all In need of coal might at least get a partial supply. This has been true in all cases where rnthraclte has come in, but these cases have been infrequent, anthracite being hard to get in this territory, owing to tho demand from eastern and home terrieory. Not so long ago the authorities at Carbondale, Pa., a town which is surrounded by anthracite mines, -tad to seize coal to keep the school children warm, so closely was all the coal mined being shipped out. Wheat Moving at $1.25 The manager of the Eikenberry ele
vator at Camden reports Inability to
get a pound of anthracite, in spite of a definite promise to Bhip a car or two
to reach him by December -. He says
he is now afraid that it will be January
1, or even later, before they can count
on getting any hard coal. As to soft
coal, he states that there is no suffer
ing for it in or around Camden, as sufficient coal has arrived to keep the homes warm, but as yet there is no
surplus on hand. Coal men have di vided the coal in such a way as to in
sure all getting enough to run them
pending fresh receipts.
The Eikenberry elevator advanced
its buying price on wheat to $1.25 on Saturday and as a number of farmers
had been awaiting that figure nearly
600 bushels came in during the. day.
As to corn, the price went to 63 cents,
or 90 cents per cwt. on Monday, and
thi3 was expected to stimulate re
ceipts. We have been buying a little
corn daily, of late, said the manager, and the demand for Christmas money and the fact that corn is abundant, Is
now likely to increase the movement of
corn to market, speaking in a general
way. Praises Club Work
Secretary Wallace toldhe Chicago newspaper men at- the International
that he had not missed attendance at the show a single year since its inception, almost a quarter of a century
ago. With reference to boys' and girls'
agricultural clubs, Mr. Wallace said:
"I believe that the development of our youth in all phases of farm life means
more to this country than any other agency. If the grown-ups now had been encouraged as farm boys and girls are
today, agriculture would not be undergoing the depression it has pulled through in the last two years." The secretary was on hand to see the crowning of the corn king, and he also addressed 600 boys and girls at the club banquet given by the Chicago Board of Trade to club members, at the central Y. M. C. A. Purdue Dairy Ration
Here is presented a stogie example
of the many benefits afforded Indiana
dairymen who co-operate with the
dairymen associated with Purdue. The
university , men are always at work
trying to solve problems affecting ev
ery branch of agriculture and the dairy
interest is far from being overlooked. University dairymen recently visited
membes of the Ripley county cow testing association, in company with V. T,
Oxer, county agent, and on returning
to Lafayette reported as follows:
"One member of the association had been feeding bran and shorts to his
dairy herd, along with the pasture and
ensilage. He had been induced previ
ously to change this to the Purdue grain mixture 4-2-1, four parts ground corn, 2 parts ground oats or bran and
one part of linseed oil meal. His feed
ost had been reduced by the change
from $10 per month to $5.50 and the
flow of milk had been increased mate
rially. Other members who had
changed their methods of feeding re
ported similar results."
Grain Prices at Top
At this writing the prices of all
grains are at practically the high of the
season. Decembewrwheat, which sold
as low as $1.16 last week, and as high
as $1.22 last Saturday, advanced to $1.22Vi on Monday, but closed lower on reaction. The range in the same week last year was from $107 to a high of
$1.13, or a range of 6 cents for the
week.
December corn has ranged above 72
cents during past two weeks, against
a high of 48 In the same weeks in
1921. December oats sold at 42c to
45c last week, as compared with a
top of 324 a year ago. The distant
options of all grains are on a corresponglngly higher basi3, by comparison with last December. Lard and ribs are also considerably higher than ong year ago. A Chicago engineering firm has been awarded a contract by the Bank of Agricultura of Bulgaria, a governmem. institution, for the design and construction of an entire national system of elevators on the American plan. The initial program provides for a capacity of around 13.000,000 bushels and an outlay of about $10,000,000. By an Imported Bull Cattle raisers will be interested in the statement that Chenoweth Jock, grand champion steer at the International, was pure-bred and was sired
by an imported Shorthorn Scotch bull, Haverstown Grandee, which cost his
Kentucky importers $12,000. J. M Strickland, the cattle judge from Eng land, said: "That's the best calf I
ever saw the best fatted calf I have ever seen in any show ling," as.lis turned to pat the roan on his plump back. Jock was 386 days old, or less
than 13 months of age when he en
tered the show ring, weighing 1,010
pounds. In addition to honor ribbons
Jock won a $500 cah prize for tha owners of Chenoweth farm at Shelbyville, Kentucky. Joseph Reid, herdsman at the farm for the past four ye?.rs, tells of how "Jock" was fed and ared for, as folllows: "We just let Jock run with his I mother until last spring and then put
him with a nurse cow. , While he was still with the nurse cow we gave him light feeds of equal parts of bran and
oats three times a day and about a pint of cracked corn daily." Mr. RelJ says that he thinks : blue grass had much to do with Jock's high finish, as he was kept in a stall during the day and turned into a rich pasture every
night. His coat was not touched witn
curry comb or brush until ten days before shipping him to Chicago.
In addition to winning tne grana
championship Chenoweth Jock won
first in the senior Shorthorn steer calf
class, the championship pure-bred
steer honor, and the championship in
the class for steer ca-ves of all breeds and ages.. The grand championship
snortnorn neirer in lszi aiso cam
from the Chenoweth farm and was
sired by the same bull as was Jock
one year later. '
Commercial Seeds
Over 8,000,000 pounds of sweet corn
for seed was produced commercially in
1922, which is an increase of 100 per
cent over 1921, but still 20 per cent less
than the five-year average.
Commercial production of garden
peas for seed in 1922 totaled 46,600,000 pounds, an increase of 75 per cent over
the production in 1921. The average
production for the last five years was
54,000,000 pounds.
The commercial production of tomato seed in 1922 totaled 238,000 pounds, an increase of 200 per cent over 1921 and 10 per cent over the five-year average, according to the department of agriculture. Over 313,000 pounds of spinach seed was raised commercially in 1922, according to reports reaching the department of agriculture. This is an in
crease of 1,100 per cent over the pro
duction in 1921, but i3 only about twothirds of the five-year average production.
The Mexican bean beetle has been
recorded from 10 new counties in Ken
tucky. It is new known to be present over practically the entire central area of this state. . During the past month it has also been reported to the United States department of agriculture from four new counties in western North
Carolina.
"Better Sires Sales"
As a result of co-operative sales,
commonly termed'"better sires sales,"
progressive live stock owners in Ken
tucky distributed 250 pure-bred beef
bulls so far this year. Most of the bulls are to be used for improving grade
herqs. The number of bulls mentioned
do not include those distributed
throughout the state through private
sales conducted by the various breed-ers.
In connection with better sires work
in Kentucky extension workers in ani mal husbandry are conducting demon
stration work in live stock feeding. In
a number of counties field day meet
ings are held in feed lot3. The meetings
assist materially, state college of agriculture believes, in showing and teaching better feeding practices along with
the importance of good breeding,

The local postoffice was omiswally busy Tuesday caring for owners o4-
fwar savings stamps who wished to
have their 1918 series rexleemed ror cash. . r It is again emphasized that only per.' sons with $25 or less worth of stamps can get cash at the postoffice when the stamps are presented at maturity d'ate, Jan. 1, 1923, Persona with more than $25 worth of the stamps must go to the postoffice before Dec. 20, make application for cas-h redemption, and the application will be sent by the postmaster to the Chicago federal re-.. serve bank, from which place the amount due in cash will "be mailevl in a check to the persons applying on, ot about Jan. 1. . - ' Except in instances where the own
ers of stamps .are confined to their homes by illness, or where the ownw is a! child too young to sign his- name, the owner of stamps must apply in person for cash redemption at the local postoffice. The fact that postal fund's here are inadequate to pay all demands, makes it necessary for owners of stamps, the total value ot which is more than $25, to make out applications to be sent to Chicago.

Cooking Ranges Gas Ranges Pay Four Big Dividends
Cuts Gas Bills
The Chambers Fireless actually cost9 yon nothing here's the proof of it: You have been accustomed to using 90 to 120 minutes of gas to cook your roasts a Chambers Fireless will do It aa well "with 20 to 30 minutes of gas. The same prbportlon exists on other things you cook. Figure it yourself. How much will your sarins be per month? Saves the Flavor In addition to the saving of fuel, a big daily saving of high-priced food flavor make3.a rapidly growing cash return. Cooking in this way, you have as much meat out of an 8'-pound roast as you formerly had out of 10 pounds. The rest went out in steam. The same proportion exists on other things you cook. Figure for yourself. How much in dollars awl cents cam. you save three times a day by stopping this loss?
Saves Your Time
In time, health and convenience, a Chambers Fireles-s rapidly pays for itself here's the proof of it: You have been accustomed' to assigning your morning to preparing of dinner in the old way. ' The Chambers Way is to start your baking or roasting in the oven or your boiling under the hood, and with the food started there is co reason to spend further time in the kitchen. Figure for yourself what this would mean in your home.
Lessens Labor
How many steps are wasted daily in "running hack to the kitchen" to see the dinner. You have been accustomed to "watching the pot" day by day three times a day basting your roast, for instance. A Chambers Fireless, retaining all food flavors and steam, requires no water to keep the roast from burning, and is selfbasting. Once a meal is started no more steps need to be spent in the kitchen until it is served.
