The Farm and the Faimet By William R. Sanborn

COUNTY F. B. MEETING "Wayne county farmers are to meet in annual session In the Richmond high school auditonum on Saturday night, for the hearing ot reports on the various county farm bureau activities and the election of officers. A very interesting prog-am will be given and It Is expected that there will be a large and represertative gathering to hear and enjoy. Brief talks will be made on the work of the recent state convention, also ot

ilie haopenines at the American farm

bureau annual meeting, held at Chicago this week. An educational film, "Milk as Food," and a comic film entitled, "By Fowl Means," will lenl variety to the occasion and will be appreciated. The off'cers of the various townships form the .nominating committee and all have been informed of the date and purposes of th3 meeting, and some of the townshio officials have sent out cards to all their numbers, requeuing their attend ance at the county convention. The principal speakers are A. Ii. Pittinger of Delaware county, who was recently elected district director, and Earl Crawford, of Milton, who is now reti-inK from that office. Both

are able and convincing speakers an-1 are well known to the farmers of Wayne county, as weil as over a wide

area of the state.

The ship subsidy bill, now pending

in congress, proved to be a hone o. contention at the American farm bu

reau convention, on Wednesday. A

pretty fight was staged which resulted

sorb any small change In the rates, and, in spite of the glittering promises of his political advisers, his condition would not be improved, while the financal troubles of the railways would be greatly increased. "While reduction of freight rates might not have any effect upon the price the farmer receives for his products, it would have a great effect upon the ability of the railway to furnish him with enough service to move his

products to market, for the rate that a railway charges is all that it gets for

its services and determines its pros-

perity and it sability to render ade

quate service."

Many Indiana Winners

in a letter rrom jpuraue we una a citation of several notable winnings

made by Indiana men at the Interna'

tional live stock and the International grain and hay shows at Chicago this

month. The letter cites tht Indiana men took 150 of the 200 prizes offered for corn in the two regions in which the state competed. Among the outstanding awards on corn won by Indiana men were: Grand sweepstakes, ten-ear sample; reserve grand sweepstakes on ten-ear sample, and first prize on yellow sample in region three, won by John S. Campbell of Crawfordsville. Glen Phares of Shelbyville carried home the ribbon proclaiming him grand junior corn champion of the world. In the live stock show Indiana captured a liberal share of the capital prizes and honors. Mike Meyers of Elwood exhibited the grand champion car lot of hogs, over all breeds, the

nosine the bill. It war the sense ot

the convention that the federal land bank should make the system mors easily accessible to the smaller bank, and it also went on record as favoring co-operative banking fit Plan for Federal Reserve ' In giving the convention his opinion. Benjamin Strong, governor of the second federal reserve district, New York City, said that he "believed the system could assist in solving the problems of agricultural credit by doing all that is posible to stabilize credit conditions in this country and by enlarging the membership of the system." In discussion of the immigration law, Harvey J. Sconce, of Illinois, advocated a law on a basis of selection rather lhan restriction. He criticised the present three per cent clause.

"What this country needs is more producers and fewer peddlars," he declared. "The way 10 attain this result is to first to repeal this three pe cent immigration law and then enact an immigration law sr'milar to the Canadian law, with its new regulatioa with Its ocupational test." A poultry man o" the old school tells us that: "The heartless deception practiced by the modern poultry men on their layers, by means of electric lights in chicken houses, has beei intensified through dimming devices, which makes the dawn come slowly and naturally." We wonder how the hens will take this matter and if they will be convinced that the days are getting longer, regardless of cold and snow.

President Byram's Idea When a railway president talks freight rates and the importance of ample facilities to move farm commodities, he should ?ay something of

interest to farmers well worth printing, regardless of who may differ on his conclusions. For that reason, and to give our readers a nev idea on thi freight rate problem, we are quoting a few remarks made in an address by

1 1." President Byram, of the Chicago, Mil

waukee and St. Paul road.

"Reduction of freight rates under present conditions, would do more harm than good," he told the Wiscon

sin Maufacturers' association. "If th-3 wide spread agitation for immediate

reductions of freight rates should be

successful the certain effect would b; to intensify and protract the short

age of transportation, while at the

same time it would have little or no effect upon the prices farmers get fo" their products. "The farmer has continually dinned Into his ears the tho'ight that freight rates are responsible for the low prices he is receiving, when it can easily be shown that the fluctuations which occur in the prices of farm products within short periods greatly exceed the total freight rates paid upon them." Low Rates No Remedy "The farmer has no assurance that reductions in freight rates would add p. dollar to Ms own revenues. The market price of his product might be changed so as to much more than ab-

champion Polled Shorthorn steer was

shown by Dallas L. Miller and Sons of Mulberry. The award for champion Belgian mare was made . to W. H. Smith of Bos well, who won a large percentage of the prizes In the Belgian ring, while James Kellerman of Romney, Tippecanoe county, won championship honors in Dorset Horn sheep, in both ram and ewe classes. The Grain and Hay show was directed by Prof. G. I. Christie of Purdue, assisted by W. Q. Fitch of the extension department. Prof. A. T. Wiancko was one of the corn judges. Some Profitable Ducks Mrs. I. J. Anderson of Minnesota contributes her experience in duck raising to Wallaces' Farmer, and shows that she has made money from ducks

and duck eggs. After a few preliminary remarks, Mrs. Anderson tells her

story as follows:

"We have the fawn and white Indian Runner ducks. A flock of 72 hens

showed an average of 30 dozen eggs a

week from February 1 to July 1. Dur

ing July and the first half of August is molting period, and they decreased

down to 9 or 10 eggs a day. After August 15 the ducks were laying 35 to 40 eggs a day. There has not been a month during the year we do not get duck eggs. As for price, we never get less for duck than for hen eggs. And

why should we?

"Runner ducks usually bring us 32 or 33 cents a pound dressed. We also have the feathers, which one can find

a good market for.

"Runner duck eggs are as fertile as

chicken eggs. From a setting we usu

ally get about 11 or 12 ducklings. And

tne past year or 114 ducklings we raised 108. Who can do that with

chickens? I am a lover of Indian Run ners."

Are Rediscount Banks

The proposal to extend the maximum maturity of agricultural paper is being opposed by Senator Glass of Virginia,

who was chairman of the house com

mittee on banking and currency when

the federal reserve act was framed.

"The federal reserve system is essentially a reserve system as distinguished from a primary banking sys tem," said Senator Glass. "The func

tion of the federal reserve banks is not

to discount paper, but to rediscount.

Unless the reserve banks are in a post

fion to meet all emergencies the pur-

post is destroyed. If you ever under-

taKe to mane ot tne teaerai reserve banking system a primary system you

may wreck the whole system.

"The Dallas federal reserve bank

came near being wrecked a few years

ago even under present limitations."

Commenting on the Dallas incident

bought at high prices were responsible
