The Farm and the Farmer By William R. Sanborn
THE FARMER'S TAXES Harry A. Caton, Master of the Ohio Stat Grange, declares that the taxes of Ohio farmers for 1922 probably will be greater than their operating prof its. This was stated in bis address nt the opening of the golden jubilee meeting of the grange at Columbus, on Tuesday. . Should this condition continue, sai l the speaker, it would be idle to ask people to remain' on the farms and produce food for the nation. He as
serted that real estate can not continue to bear an unproportionate share of the taxes without disaster to agriculture; that taxing districts must live within their income; that privilege, luxury and income should share the burden and that the continued diversion of wealth into non-taxable channels would mean a continued increase in the taxes on other property. The fifty-first annual meeting of the Illinois State Grange went into session at Belvidere, on Tuesday. E. G. Eckhardt, master, reviewed farm affairs and said that: "World conditions must improve before farmers can hope for the full measure of prosperity due them. Among other things Mr. Eckhardt said: "The manufacturer will stop or at least curtail production if there is an aversupply and thereby keep up the soiling prices of his goods.. The labor unions have demonstrated to a certain extent that they will -not work unless thev receive a war time wage, or near
ly so, but the farmer has been plodding along, producing more than the coun
try would take at a price wnicn woma
net him a profit at American stand
ards. We have not produced more tnan
the world needs, but European coun
tries aro our best customers for farm products, and they are not financially
able to buy our crops at a price that
would give us a fair compensation lor our toil."
National Co-operation. The co-operative sales idea, which ha3 been spreading all over the country in farm and fruit-growing circles, received much attention at the American farm bureau convention at Chicago. Numerous speakers were in favor cf nationalizing the various co-operative organizations in a special division of the American farm bureau. A central organization representing all the co-operative sales associations is favored, all to be managed and directed under one roof. The result of the various addresses was crystalized in a resolution and a committee at once appointed to leave for Washington on Wednesday to meet with representatives of 60 commodity organizations of the Council of Farmers' Co-operative Marketing associations, which convened on Thursday morning at the Capital. The members of the committee appointed are: E. H. Woods, president of the Kentucky farm bureau; Grey Silver, bureau representative at Washington: Howard Leonard, president of the' Illinois Agricultural association; E. H. Cunningham of the Grain Growers, and John G. Brown, president of the National Live Stock Producers' association. After a long study of the proposed Armour-Morris merger, and consultations with President Harding and Attorney-General Daugherty, Secretary Wallace declared there appeared to be no occasion for action at this time In connection with the proposal informally laid before him by J. Ogden Armour. The secretary asserts that there is nothing in the packers and
stock yards act which Specifically prohibits the purchase of one packer of the business and assets of another. An opinion given out by Attorney General
uaugnerty says that "tne act Is essentially a regulatory measure and that the duties and powers of the secretary of agriculture thereunder are to regulate the industry." The almost Incredible statement that "the Chicago Board of Trade ha3 contributed $100,000 to the organization of the American Farm Bureau"
was made before th senate agricultural committee on Tuesday. The man making this statement, according to a dispatch printed in the Chicago Tri
bune, was J. E. Kelley, former con
gressman from South Dakota. Mr. Kelley was appearing before the senate committee in connection with
rural credits legislation when the al
leged statement was made. Meadow fescue or English bluegrass seed is produced in eastern Kansas
and western Missouri. Most of it i3 exported to European countries, chiefly Germany, Bays the department of
agriculture.
A community club of farm women In Cherokee county, Kans., reports 2,065 Wealthy chicks from hatches totaling 2,486, as a result of following
the methods of sanitation and feeding demonstrated by the county extension
agent.
A number of soil testing meetings
were, held in an Illinois county during
the fall, at which each farmer attend
ing was asked to bring several samples
of his soil. The tests showed that only
one farmer had "sweet" soil, so far as
the various samples went. The crtvner of this farm said-that he has been
growing, a large amount of clover,
sweet clover and alfalfa. All other
samples presented were more or less acid. v Just in what"false" wire worms differ from the real article we tire not prepared to say. But the department of agriqulture tells ua that "false wire
of unsprouted wheat during the dry spell in Deuel county, Nebraska, this
i an, ana were more man usuauy ahnndant In NpTirdslta- KflnsaK and
Oklahoma in October. We have' not heard of any destruction by this worm
in waeai or oiner iieio.3 in inaiaaa.
New Farm Credit Bills. Discussion is now centering on the
Lenroot bill, creating a new farm credits department in the present federal land banks, and on the Capper bill au
thorizing the formation of privately fi
nanced agricultural credits, before the rural credits section of the senate committee on banking and currency.- Eugene Meyer, who assisted in drafting
the Capper bill, is appearing before the committee.
Senator Lenroot suggests that the
two bills are not in conflict and that it may be well to modify to suit and
merge Doth bills into one measure. He
says, however, that his bill would provide adequate credit facilities for agriculture. Senator Capper says of his
measure that while his own bill meets the needs of the live stock industry,
he believes that it i3 not sufficiently comprehensive to meet the needs of
the small farmers of the country.
But one thing certain and it is this:
The farm bloc is sure to pass some remedial legislation on this line and
that, too, on an early date. Any ef-

fectlve bill which provides the money will no doubt be acceptable to agriculture. . . .The Chicago Milk Producers' Co-op
erative Marketing company has had no
end of trouble and the dissatisfaction
on various grounds has resulted in a
reorganization according to the plan
and recommendations of the farm bu
reau committee of nine. This committee was appointed by E, B. Heaton, dairy market director. The Chicago milk territory is now divided into ten districts. Three directors are elected to represent each district and twelve
directors are elected at large, and all are elected for a period of one year. A directory of 42 men should not prove unwieldly, in view of the size of the territory covered in three 6tates by the milk shippers, and the thousands of gallons of milk and the thousands of dollars handled daily bythe association. Seed of a plant known as sun-hemp, a legume successfully introduced into Porto Rico by the federal government.
was recently sent from Eorto Rico to state experiment stations south of the Ohio river and along the Pacific coast
to De tried out as a cover crop. Sunhemp makes quick growth, flowering the second monh and ripening the third. Several stations have made favorable reports on the new legume. Demonstration work in sheep breeding has had a marked effect on wool production in Montgomery county, Ind., as is shown by the fact that iii 1918, 10,000 pounds, of wool were produced in the county, while in 1921 the sheep breeders' association alone pool
ed and marketed more than six carloads. On a tour of farms on whicn sheep breeding and feeding demonstra
tions were being conducted in 1921, under direction of the county agent, 38 automobiles wesre required to ac
commodate the people interested, while in 1918, on a similar tour, onlj six were needed.. 7 - - :- '
