provided by a pamphlet issued by the packers themselves. On, November 11, 1918, Armour & Co., leaders of the “Big Five,” had a conference with edi- tors of 25 farm papers for the thinly disguised purpose of influencing these. editors and publishers to present the packer propaganda to their readers. Following this conference the packers issued this pamphlet, giving what is apparently a stenographic record of what took place."

In order to permit the safe.use of this product in future, the department has, under authority of the control act of August 10, 1917, decided to place such restrictions on the use of potash salts containing borax as will guarantee the use of an application - of not more than two .pounds of anhydrous borax per acre. .at Searles lake and to all brokers, fertilizer manufacturers and mixers not to sell potash salts direct to farm- ers as straight goods when they con- tain more than five-tenths of 1 per cent of borax, and not to sell mixed fertilizers containing more than two pounds of borax per ton unless the i ADVERTISEMENTS ACHES AND PAINS QUICKLY RELIEVED You’ll find Sloan’s Liniment softens the severe rheumatic ache Put it on freely.

Shortly afterwards, however; when the League started to organize in Mr. Meredith’s own state and it aroused the bankers and manu- facturers of Iowa into organizing the Greater Iowa association to combat it, Mr. Meredith faced square about and since then has been personally and through his paper a most bitter foe of the League. ‘When notified of his appointment as secretary of agriculture Mr. Mere- dith was in Florida, where he has been “wintering.” VALUE OF MANURE From- careful experiments over a series of years experts at the Missouri College of Agriculture put the value: of a ton of manure at $4.83 at the present prices for crops and at $2.34 under pre-war prices. A well-fed, mature horse will preduce about 8 tons a year and a steer from 9 to 11 tons. : LIMITS RENTALS The Iowa board of railroad com- missioners has decided that a railroad can not charge an elevator more land rental than similar land in the neigh- borhood would be worth.
