The Farm and the Farmer By William R. Sanborn

PRESIDENT BRADFUTE The rank and file of the farm bureau membership throughout the country will perhaps be surprised to learn that President James R. Howard of lo.wa, the man back of and under the American Farm Bureau Federation, as a national organization, from its inception, was not a candidate for re-election. Mr. Howard has been such an outstanding figure in all the accomplishments of the farm bureau federation, nationally, and seemed so large a part of that great association that the bulk of the membership expected him to "carry on" almost indefinitely. .. . , , , In a brief address preceding the election of officers Mr. Howard criticized the "political practices" of the federation. He declared that the official at the head of the American farm bureau federation was second to the president of the United States, and he hoped, therefore, that a capable man would be selected. And thus it comes that Ohio captured the presidency. O. E. Bradfute, of Xenia, is the new man at the rudder of the ship of the association. But Mr. Bradfute has long been a force in farm bureau affairs, both In Ohio and in a national way. His second term as vice-president of the American farm bureau has just expired. Ho was in line to the succession, if considered to be presidential timber, as was proven to be the case by his selection. " But "Jim". Howard, the best known farmer in America and the idol of the Iowa hosts, returns to hi3 farm. No doubt he thinks he needs a rest, and of course he has earned it. We

have no idea that he has retired from he field of farm policies or politics, but will continue io be always alert to whatever concerns the- farmer and stock raiser, nationally, for his long experience in state farm organizalions, first of all. and in later years In a country-wide way, liaa become ingrained in his nature and must find expression. The vice presidency goes to a California man. Dr. W. H. Walker, who has been active in farm bureau and

co-operative affairs for years, was elected to succeed Mr. Bradfute as vice-president. - C. W. Pughsley, assistant secretary of the department of agriculturt addressed the convention on Thursday morning. He pleaded for closer cooperation between agricultural schools and colleges and the farmer and farm organizations. "The clr,er a farm organization keeps to the source of agricultural information," said he, "the more likely it is to succeed. If it does not keep close, even the sources of information are likely to fail, because teachers and investigators must keep constantly in touch with the real needs of agriculture. The The assistant secretary of agriculture believes that education is the keynote of the arch which supports any government, and the more responsive the government the more necessary education becomes. The Wisconsin Manufacturers' association has appointed a committee of twenty-one to study the farmers problems, including transportation and marketing. President Johnson has selected five dairymen, five bankers, five representatives of agriculture and five manufacturers. Fifty of the leading agriculturists of Wisconsin were guests of the association at the luncheon. John Napier Dyer, of Vincennes. Ind., was one of the speakers.

Want More Banks. In his advocacy of the fanner hill

on rural credits before the senate com

mittee Eugene Meyer stated that: "Only 1,635 out of over 11,000 eligible banks outside of the National hauls

which automatically became mpwil

bers, are now in the federal reserve

system. There are 9,640 banks which are eligible to the svst

ent regulations which do not belong.il

i oeneve in the considering of rural credits it would be of prime importance to add to the federal reserve

yards for the demand is the reason

given for late declines. Take Thursday, for example, when there were 66,000 fresh and "stale" hogs in the pens, of which nearly a fifth were left in the pens for Friday - selling. The quality of the hogs coming in is said to be exceptionally good. Seven western markets received 128,000 hog3 on Thursday, an excess of 45,000 compared with the same date last year. A glance through the December bulletin issued by the C. and O. railway company discloses that one' Wayne county man, Charles H. Ruoll of Fountain City, has a few coon hound pups for sale at $10 to $12.50 each. A Richmond man advertises a pure-bred Polled bull at $65, while a Webster township farmer announces a bunch of Buff Rock hens and pullets at $1 to $1.25. A. D. Johnson, of Liberty, . quotes 100 bushels of soy beans for seed at $3. The . road makes no charge for its announcements, simply printing the bulletin as an exchange medium for people using the road, and living near or along the line. It quotes hundreds of items in single line announcements under "Wanted," "For Sale' and "Exchange" headlines, every month. The current wholesale price of turkeys at Chicago is 35 cents a pound for live birds and 47 cents for dressed. Ducks are quoted at 15 to 18 cents and geese at 18 cents a pound, alive. Eggs are bringing 60 cents for extras and firsts are selling at 51 to 54 cents to retailers. Best creamery butter is selling at 54 to 56 cents in tubs. Big Doings at Liberty Union county farmers are planning

iwo Dig aays ror the coming week. The "roundup" includes a corn show which will be open to an comers, exhibits by the various clubs and a bang-up poultry show. The dates are!

Thursday and Friday. Decemhpr ot

and 22, and the show will be pulled off in the big Foid garage, where there is ample space for a large display. The woman and club girls will be represented by samples of the culinary art, butter making, sewing, etc. An Associated Press report from Des Moines gives the 1922 farm crops Of Iowa as being upwards or $480,000.000, as compared with $305,439,500 in 1921. - This was an increase of 57 per cent. The statement was given out at state agricultural convention as the compilation made by the Iowa weather and crop service and the department of agricultural economics at Washington. Four bumper corn crops in succession is ' Iowa's unprecedented record. The 1922 crop of 455,535,000 bushels, raised on 10,123,000 acres with an

average yield of 45 bushels to the acer, had a value on Dec. 1 of $245, 899,000, when corn was selling at 54 cents a bushel. The total corn crop of 1922 is exceeded only by that of 1920. THE DAUGHERTY SALE Despite the fact that Thursday was not an Inviting day to attend a farm sale the friends of Mrs. Uhler Daugherty. were present in large numbers, at the farm home near Friendship church, and six miles north of New Paris. As our readers were recently told the young husband was fatally

burned through the use of kerosene in lighting a fire early one morning not long ago. The sale was conducted by W. H. Alexander, administrator, and P. c. King, cashier of the bank at New Madison, wa3 selected as settling clerk. Mr. King reports the net of the sale as $2,200 and says that the bidding was epirited because of the feeling that the bidders were inclined to give the widow all possible assistance in the disposal of the chattels. Hogs brought 11 to 12 cents a pound, Mr. King states, and the implements which were in good condition brought better than recent sale

prices. Five head of horses, five oT cattle and 52 hogs embraced the live stock and most of the household goods were also in the sale. W. E. North wa3 the auctioneer and the Ladies Aid of Friendship church served a tempting cold-day lunch.
