It Is now pe-ncral roicn izvl that there Is need of staMishinp a worhl market news servier tor the principal npriculturaJ -mmeniith s, such an grain, livestock, cotton or wool. While the. LT. S. Is a laru prorlucor of theso product?, yet it does not produce more than a fair fraction of tho world's supply. The prion of these commodities is controlled not fo much by crop conditions in tho U. S. as by tho world situation. At present there is no adequate pystem developed for collecting and beeping In an up-to-date manner the exact world situation in regard to supply and demand. This lack of definite Information is one of the reasons why there are such large price fluctuations. Speculation is partly based on the actual supply (i rid demand and also on a buk of Keneral Information as to just what fheworld crop condition is. If icliibl Information is available to cveryono interested on the principal commodities, this alone would do away with a large part of the market fluctuation duo to speculation. It would seem that the proper agency to undertake this service would be tho IT. Department of AcricuUure. Tho Department or Agrlcuituro has already built up a very complete, service on crop estimates, tdorks on hand and market netds within the U. S. It ouuht to te possible to extend this service to nil parts of tho world fo that at regular times a balance short could bo struck showing the world's supply and Jemand and the principal factors affecting the price for each of the great agricultural commodities. In other words, build up a world's market und crop reporting service comparable to the domestic service which has just been established y the Department of Agriculture.

The old method of buying; wheat was to pive every farmer practically the same price regardless of quality, the elevator man trusting to luck in mixing to make his profit. The federal pro In frraden have P'Jt a stop to this und the heavier and cleaner the prain, the more money Is paid the farmer. In some localities it Is the practice to Md on the prade of wheat which Is most plentiful, and to pay a premium of a cent a pound, for instance, on all wheat which is heavier and cleaner.

In spite of the market quotations a pood car on any praln exchange will bring a premium. Purins the past season when spring wheat has been very light, a pood plump car would often hrins a premium of from 2T to f.O centa a bushel in spite of the market. There are many varieties of wheat which should be discouraged. For instance, the millers do not want velvet chaff on account of It being soft and starchy, and red durum which is creeping in. is heinp discounted radically because it is fit for little hut chicken feed. In other sections a stronp effort is being made to establish the variety best adapted to soli and climate. This means money for everybody farmer, dealer, miller, baker and consumer.

CUTTING CORN WITH MACHINERY SAVES TIME FOR FARMERS

Is Means of liaising .More; Money for Racers' ' Porkels. 1 a (rutting corn with machinery does not reduce materially the cos-f. f cuttintr. It dors, however, enable the farmer i; cut a given acreage much more ejuickly. and, in that way. often proves printable. The proper lim' for (Utting crrn in order to pres rve its fisll feedinf; value is so short and otiur work is usually so pressing that the saving of time often means a reat ;tl more in the farmer's pocket thin could any actual saving jn waues ;nul other cutting t ost. Tin.--, is t'ae view taken of corn h irestinir machinery by the I'nited St.it s d M.irini r.t of a.urieulturo, as oxpresed in Farm rs' bulletin 1K'2 'The 1'se (,f Machinery in Cutting i'orn." The saving is rt ati r in rutting corn for silau'e than for fodder, the bulb-tin continues. The two tv corn harvesting machinery, the orn binder ami the platform harvester, are discussed in detail. I'nder normal conditions, it is .stated, the binder drawn by three hors'S vill cut about seven acres in a 3 0-hour day. ne mar. will be reouiie! to operate the machine and two to shock the corn. Tlose three men working with torn knives would jntibably be able to cut about four acres in a lU-hour day. Th. binder, therefore, does pearly twice ;;s much work as the three men could do without it. Objection to Hinder. There are. however, limitations and objections to the UM- of the bind ; If the corn is badly blown down, the bind. r may not be abbto handle it and in iy h.-.ve to stand bile through a season. The binder necessarily knocks ff some f tic cars, and it may be neress iry to : ml a man ovt the ti id to pi-k up the :irs by hand. Men at tust finfid it harder to handle the bundb s from a binder stalks. Som bundles (nt räch ine tb.at 'he over th-ni on than ti hande loose binil. rs drop the i Ply behind the mihors's have to walk th n't round, and thus copsieb rable lamae is bme to the corn. Howe-ver, th- specialists say. thes abjections can be minimized even where they can mt ! cmiletdy bv ia t'l. In orle r to make the use of the bind r worth while-. tiie reducation in labor and the- savinp lue to p't'ing the work done at the proper time must more- than pay for the us if th machine. th twine, and the labor of the horses.

If only a small amunt of silage- is to be put up, a binder would not be a paving operation unless? there were a large quantity of other corn to cut. The cooperative use of bth binder and cutter is discussed and is r commended where the mly coin cut is that for sliago. Coop rative ownership ami use of the bind r is said to be frequently advantageous fir small farmers. The use of the- corn eb'V.alor in coniieetion with the binder is discussed ami both the advantages and disaelvantages pointed out.
