100 GREAT LAKES FREIGHTERS HOLD HUGE GRAIN CROP BUFFALO, Jan. '20. Strung along Fide by side in imposing array under the Ice of the outer breakwater, and tucked away in corners of the inuer harbor here, are nearly 100 of the largest freighters on the Great Lakes

loaded to capacity with grain harvested in the American and the Canadian northwest last fall. The vessels with their cargoes, which comprise nearly 9S.000.0O() bushels of grain wheat, corn, oats, rye. barley and flax are worth at present market prices about $:O.OflO,O0O. Much of the grain will remain in storage in the holds of the vessels until spring when it will be elevated, loaded into canal barges, and moved to tidewater. Other vessels have been so placed in the harbor that they can he moved up to elevator legs some time during the winter when the movement by rail will have relieved the elevators of a part of their bulging stores. Movement Never Ceases The movement of gralnjfrom boat to elevator end from elevator to box rars never ceases from the time the golden stream starts down the Great iAkes, but the final rush is so great that these facilities meet the demands of only a small portion of the fleet. Nor could tidewater facilities handle the crop if it were possible to move it there as rapidly as the freighters bring it down the lakes. So the big freighters become storehouses for the winter, and they are as desirable for that purpose as the elevators. The largest winter cargo in floating storage this season is in the hold of the steamer William C. Agnew. Oats In her bins would fill 250 box cars, or a total of 501,868 bushelsone of the largest winter cargoes on record. The Schoonmaker rates next, with 415.000 bushels of grain. The Agnew was among the last of the grain carriers to battle through the storm-swept lakes at the close of navigation. Grain receipts at the port of Buffalo ihis season broke all previous records. The total of all grains and flour figured on a wheat-bushel basis, was '95,830,568 bushels. This is more than double any total since 1916. The pre-, vious high mark was 25 years ago. when a bumber crop brought the total up to 267,295,434 bushels.

MR. COVERDALE'S REPORT John W. Coverdale, general executive secretary of the American Farm Bureau federation, has just issued a report covering the operations of the organization for the year 1922, with a review covering much of the work done in the various fields since the farm bureau was formed in a na

tional way. This well printed book of 88 pages deserves some study, and a

more extensive review than we have

the time or space for at this writing.

Inasmuch as the rank and hie of the

farm bureau members would be very

generally interested in reading the

Coverdale report, or in a review of the accomplishments of the national body, the cost of carrying on the work, the number of members in the various states, etc., we shall make a review of the cardinal features of

this most comprehensive report at the

first convenient opportunity.

Among the matters presented whicn

are rather surprising, we find me income received fr"om several states, so

taany of which failed to contnout.e

as much as $500 last year, ana otners

which fell below $1,000 in their per

capita tax remittances to the American farm bureau. For example, Ari

zona paid but $50.50 into the national treasury in 1922.

Colorado s contribution was $aou.Du,

Georgia contributed but $200, which was twice the sum paid by Idaho.

Kansas supplied $1,557.50 and Missouri but $285.81, although both Kansas and Missouri are alive with county farm organizations and also have a number of co-operatives, this being especially

true of Missouri, the tarmers or me

state being well organized for many years.

The secretarv s report is a rauier

meaty document and well worth study

by those interested in tarni Dureau aifairs. Albeit, Mr. Coverdale might

have been more explicit on some points. For instance, in his report of

expenditures he submits me cosa ui

legislation. He does not itemize nui . - i - . I . .. i

make any reierence 10 uib umuro Washington. He simply says, "Leg

islation $33,464.36," and nothing more. What Illinois Farmers Want At the closing session of the I. A. A. meeting at Chicago the farmers took a definite stand on legislation for the good of agriculture. Realizing the great economic loss and great danger of tuberculosis, both to man and animals, the farm association adopted a resolution asking the state legislature to appropriate $500,000 a year for 19231924 to carry on eradication work among cattle. They further recommended a rural police law for the protection of country folk from the bandits and thugs of the large cities, and were emphatic in their demands for a force of state highway patrol officers to "that end. It was estimated that an efficient body of such police would cost the state $600,000 a year, and that the farmers are due to pay one-fourth of that amount in taxes. The statement was made that in the past three years there' were 197 bank robberies in Il

linois, or practically one-third of all such robberies in the country, and nearly all of them outside of Chicago. A demand that the legislature also pass a law "that will prevent discrimination by the grain exchanges of the state against farmer owned cooperative enterprises." The Illinois idea of a state patrol is not new, in fact it is said one-third of our states now have rural police forces which patrol the country roads. Ira Witherow, a delegate to the convention from Fenton, Illinois, died in his chair from heart failure Thursday morning. He was 70 years old. Chicago is noted for being the greatest live stock market in the world, and in the nature of things, is expected to maintain that supremacy. In re-

gard to the receipts at the Chicago yards in 1922, the secretary of the Live Stock Exchange discourses as follows: "Chicago's live stock trade was well maintained throughout 1922, its volume ,of business showing an increase of about 5,000 carloads compared with 1921. It has maintained its supremacy as the leading live stock market of the world and probably always will, as its supply is. drawn mainly from Illinois, Iowa, Indiana, Wisconsin,

Missouri and Minnesota, the heart of

the corn belt, an area in which the great volume of beef and pork is produced. Chicago, with its population urban and suburban, of about three million,, lies in the center of a one-

night ride radius inhabited by about

50 million people, and it is the logical gateway from the live stock producing section of the west to the industrial centers of the east. "Competition at Chicago; which Is the basing point for live stock all

over the country, has been well maintained. No single interest or group interest dominates the Chicago market, a recognized fact that attracts business from more or less remote sections contiguous to markets lacking this element of competition. Producers prefer the Chicago market, even when a longer haul is involved, for the reason that here they find competition." A Comparison Made. The writer above quoted continues

by saying: "A comparison between live stock trade conditions at the close of December, 1921 and those prevail ing at Ihe end of 1922 shows gratifying improvement. Live stock has

been the one branch of agriculture capable of affording relief to producers. At the inception of 1922 the industry was forging its way out of the morass of post-war deflation and demoralization. The purchasing power of the industrial masses wah still seriously impaired, by products of all kinds of live stock, including wool and hides, were practically unsalable and the country was full of fat cattle that had been carried on corn to nurse an invalid market. Contrast this condition with that of the moment

when everybody able and willing to; work has a job at the best wages ever known,, all by-products is readily salable and both fresh and cured meats are going into distributive channels as fast as prepared. "During the first three months of 1922 cattle trade was discouraging, but in response to a steadily improving industrial situation gained tone until a highly profitable trade was established, the rule that profits in feeding low priced corn are rare being upset. The crop of stockers and feeders laid in at bargain prices during the fall of 1921 went to market as beef to net more money than any previous season's production, margins of $3 to $4 per cwt. being common, and the longer cattle were carried in the feed lot the more money they made." School for Lecturers

A grange lecturers' school has been added to the program of the coming farmers' week at the Ohio State university, Jan. 29-Feb. 2. The school will be held from 8 to 10 on the mornings of the last three days of the session, so that Grangers who attend will have opportunity to take in others of the 233 lectures, demonstrations and recreational hours which the university has scheduled for the week. The purpose of the school, as announced, is to aid Grange lecturers in bringing out local talent for community programs. Adaptability of programs to localities and the principles

Warren Dennis Dalton township, in which Warren county farm bureau, lives, is showing a gratifying interest in the membership campaign this week, according to farm bureau officials. Women as well as men are being signed up, under the leadership of the president, Fred

Beeson. Early reports indicate encouraging results from many parts of

the county. An especial interest has been shown in the plans for women's work which have resulted in a number of women joining.

of balanced program-making will be discussed at the first day's session. The session of the second day will take up sources of materials for debates, plays and musical hours. The third day will be given over to consideration of programs for holidays and special events. Among Ohio grangers who will address the school are L. J. Taber, the retiring director of agriculture; Harry A. Caton, state master; E. S. Tussing, member of the state executive committee; Mrs. W. G. Vanderbark, of Zanesville: A. G. dinger, of the Columbus Chamber of Commerce; and G. R. Lewis, state grange lecturer. Charles M. Gardner, editor of the National Grange Monthly, is to speak on "Maintaining the Rural Ideal,, at the general farmers' week convocation hour, in University hall. Records of cash receipts and expenditures, however accurate, will not tell the farmer where he stands at

the end of the year, say farm accounts ing specialists, and they urge that farmers this month take an inventory of all things of value on their places. "An inventory, and not a recard of receipts and expenses is the first real step in farm accounting," says F. L. Morison. "Any date up to March 1, is a satisfactory time to take it, but don't put it off too long. The best time will be when it is most convenient to the farmer. Go over the farm, making a list of all property, and appraising it. In cold weather it may be well to take the list and to give each article an approximate value" as you spot it; and later, by a warm stove in the house, to re-appraise and to assign values more carefully. "Estimate conservatively, avoiding speculative valuations on the one hand and sacrifice-sale values on the other. On stock and feed, deduct enough to allow for getting them to market. Allow for wear and tear on machinery and make some deduction for animals beyond the prime of life." We are inclined to agree with Mr. Morrison. The farmer, is a business man and is, we believe, as much entitled to take inventories from year to year as are business men generally. Appraising the farm acreage, the buildings and other improvements, at the beginning, then take up live stock, implements, etc.. including all articles of use and having salable value. There should be a lot of satisfaction in the study of such an inventory, and each

inventory would gather value for study from year to year. One school of self-appointed friends and advisors of the farmer advocates

the cutting down and limiting of production. Another bunch of his friends are demanding credits to maintain or expand production. The sensibl-3 farmer will take stock of conditions and then adjust his personal affairs to suit hi3 own needs.

SCIENCE TO MAKE TROPICS SAFE FOR WHITE HABITATION CHICAGO, Jan. 20. Making the tropic safe for the habitation of white men by the elimination of infectious disease will be the work of the Gorgas Institute of Tropical Medicine, the cornerstone of which will be laid Feb. 18 in the city of Old Panama by President Bplisario Porras. He will be assisted by members of the American College of Surgery, who are to start on a trip to Central and South Ameril can countries. The institute is a memorial to General Gorgas, whose research work did much to eliminate yellow fever and malaria from Panama and made possible the contruction of the Panama canal. Every member of the college who will assist President Porras served under General Gorgas in the World war. The Panama government has donated a site for the institute in the midst of the old Panama exposition grounds and adjacent to the new Santo Thomas hospital, whose labratories will be used by the institute faculty. In ad

dition, the government is erecting the first building at a cost of $500,000 and has donated a farm nearby for experimental purposes. It is proposed to finance the institute by an endowment fund of $5,000,000, to be raised through the efforts of noted surgeons physicians in the United States. Canada, and Central and South America. Transforms Panama "The work of General Gorgas transfoimed Panama from a pest-hole to one of the healtiest countries in the world," said Dr. Franklin Martin, director general of the American College of Surgery, today. "At the institute researches into disease peculiar to the tropics will be studied. Expeditions will be sent to any part of the world where tropical disease exists, to introduce methods of control ani carry on practical sanitation and other preventive work. "The first practical application of the work of the institute will be in the southern states of this country through the establishment of the Gorgas School of Sanitation at Tuscaloosa, Ala., to train county health workers, sanitary engineers and public health workers in the health problems peculiar to the south."

A machine for grade-marking lumber at the mills is being perfected by the Southern Pine association.
