F STILLWATER CO-OPERATION “The average agricultural business requires more capital than the or- dinary man can swing, so farmers must get together. I do not mean to have them sacrifice individuality and initiative but simply to avoid undue, competition and needless duplication of expense. A $10,000 bull will pay for itself in one crop of calves, yet unless the farmers can buy him to- gether, they will probably have to do without him.” This was the statement made recently by Doctor Trowbndge, director of the North Dakota experi- ment station. Living Cost Protests Awaken Congress (Continued from page 5) had chickens in storage for nearly two years. The agents of these pack- ers, it was discovered, have destroyed or defaced all records. The cold storage concerns, accord- ing to this investigation, have cor- nered the milk market in Ohio and are responsible for the increase in milk prices. They also attempted to corner the apple market in Ohio last year and in one plant alone 200 bar- rels were permitted to rot. The packers have been destroying FORD OWNERS!

The packers have begun to unload their stocks held ir Cleveland, shipping it all over the country. In St. Louis 16,569,360 eggs held in storage were seized by federal authorities. A raid in Detroit un- covered 7,404,000 eggs and 300,000 pounds of butter which had been held since April 1. Chicago dealers who were making $4.18 on every hundred- weight of sugar, a profit of nearly 50 per cent, were arrested. There are similar cases in nearly every large . city in the country. These products are bought at the lowest market price, the farmers are given as little as possible, an artificial shortage is created, and the goods are unloaded when the market reaches its peak, at prices that are far above the legiti- mate price. : Well might the chaplain of the house of representatives, one Rev. Henry .N. Couden, in offering the opening prayer in the house on Au- gust 8 pray: “Good Lord, deliver us, we beseech thee, from the unwarranted conditions -in which we as a people find ourselves. We have just passed through the greatest war of all history, and won a victory for democracy, liberty and freedom from autocracy and oppres- sion. “Thus we have cast out the demon of autocracy, but we have permitted seven devils to enter in, and the last state of the house is worse than the first. : “The greatest trickster becomes for a day the greatest business man; the greatest trickster becomes for a day the greatest lawyer; the greatest trickster becomes for a day the great- est statesman. But honesty, justice, truth, righteousness, which are all eternal, will assert themselves, will right all wrongs, free the oppressed and make life tolerable. “So we pray for a victory over the high cost of living and the deadly ene- mies of truth, liberty and justice. In his name, Amen.” A ROUND BALE FOR HAY -One of the most recent types of hay presses makes a cylindrical = bale, bound with binding twine and having an air space running lengthwise through its center. This press was designed so that hay baled from the windrow would cure out after it was baled, the hole in the center being in- - tended to allow air to circulate through the bale and prevent heating. This bale is not as easily torn apart . as. the continuously pressed bale, it being necessary to' chop or split it lengthwise with an ax or other edged 1mplement ‘When round bales are fed in open bunks or on the ground in the feed lot, they are not opened; the animal pulls out the hay a mouthful at a time. It is claimed that this way of feeding the hay prevents waste. GRASSHOPPERS NEXT YEAR Each female grasshopper lays from 80 to 160 eggs in clusters of 40 to 80 in small holes about one and one- half inches below the surface of the ground. Stewart Lockwood, entomol- ogist for the North Dakota Agri- | cultural college, says that if these eggs are allowed to hatch, next year’s crops are in serious danger He gtates that killing by poisoning and plowing: are the two most effective ways of safeguarding the 1920 crop. This year it was found that very few, if any, grasshoppers hatched out on plowed land. - Sixty per cent of the hoppers came. from roadsides, fence rows, flax stubble land and ‘40 per. . 3 3 ; | ‘cent from land that was stubbled mto ‘\:._.'Stleetol:k. 5D NOi«vusvrnonsss Btatoss: vemsveane | crop the fall of 1918.
