Please renew with your next issue. Inclosed is a clipping from our Pittsburg Post, kept by our banking interests and others. Is it correct that farmers are behind this movement, or was it our “friend the: enemy”—the wheat speculators? ) J. W. HANCE. McKees Rocks, Pa. The clipping tells of the proposed organization of a wheat pool to con- trol the wheat crop of the country and fix the price. This pool is proposed by the Ameri- can Farm Bureau federation. The plans as thus far outlined provide for starting organization work immediate- ly and controlling the price of the crop of 1922. The plan -is to organize a national marketing company on a nonstock, nonprofit basis, so that it will be exempt from the provisions of the Sherman anti-trust act. Contracts are to be secured with at least 51 per cent of the growers in the nine leading wheat states, the growers contracting to deliver all of their wheat for five years to the marketing company. In case of overproduction during any one year, it is proposed to store the surplus and cut down the acreage the following year. It is proposed to safeguard the in- terests of the public by including on the board of directors representatives of the department of agriculture and federal trade commission. OBJECTIONS CITED AGAINST POOL PLAN Three principal objections have thus far been brought out against this plan.” These are: ) First—That the scheme could be wrecked by hostile interests, which now control most of the storage facili- ties of the country. Only a few termi- nal elevators are in control of the peo- ple or of farmers’ companies; the vast majority are controlled by the millers and speculators, who would be inter- ested in seeing any farmers’ plan fail. Second—That the scheme could be wrecked by hostile action of congress. Farmers’ co-operative organizations are at present exempted from the pro- visions of the Sherman anti-trust act. This exemption could readily be re- pealed, however, if the scheme seemed likely to succeed. Third—That the American Farm Bureau federation is not the proper or- ganization to sponsor such a move- ment because it lacks the confidence of both the farmers and the labor men of the country. As is well known, the federation is not purely a farmers’ or- ganization, but takes in business and professional men and has a fair scat- tering of politicians. In regard to the labor angle the national officers of the organization have incurred the deep enmity of the American Federation of Labor by appearing before congress, at the recent session, and urging the enactment of the drastic Poindexter and Edge anti-strike bills. Since the federation has attempted to block the efforts of organized labor to obtain better * wages and more favorable treatment from congress, it is natural that organized labor would fight any attempt of the federation to establish what might be termed a “wheat corner” with a view to increasing the price of wheat. NOTED MEN NAMED TO INVESTIGATE The federation has made an effort to meet these last objections by naming a committee of 17 to work out in de- tail the plan of operations. This com- mittee of 17 includes a number of well- known progressives, such as Doctor E. F. Ladd, president of the North Da- kota Agricultural college and League candidate for United States senator; J. M. Anderson, president, of the Equi- ty Co-Operative exchange of St. Paul; C. H. Gustafson, president of the Ne- braska Farmers’ union; Clifford Thorne, the well-known railroad rate expert; Doctor H. J. Waters, former president of the Kansas Agricultural college and member of the wheat price-fixing committee, and others. It is possible that these men may be able to work out a scheme that will com- mand the confidence of the farmers and meet objections that might be raised by organized labor. At any rate their work will be worth watching. In regard to the first two weak- nesses of the federation program—the lack of storage facilities and the dan- ger of congress removing the exemp- tion of co-operatives under the anti- trust act—these weaknesses can be met in time by carrying out the League program, which will provide sufficient storage.facilities, free from the control of the wheat gamblers, and will elect men to congress favorable to the farmers.—THE EDITOR. FROM A FARM LABORER Editor Nonpartisan Leader: On September 1 I read in Capper’s Weekly about potatoes and other perishable food, being: dumped in cellars and left to rot. Such _deeds as that should be -called a crime and doers fined heavily for it. Our government should cause the railroads to get the cars where they belong. There is no use of allow- ing profiteers to run everything and to starve people. Let us all get busy and stop it. Stock is too low. Make them bid up. My boss sold $2,200 worth of stock for $1,650. I hate to see men give stock away when trying to sell them. Let us stop it. There should be something done to get things so honest men who give good security can borrow from bankers. I am a laborer and like good wages, also good prices as well as stock owners do. If possible let us get men who will get stock and grain prices up high. The owners need the money. Food and clothes, ete., are high, why not stock too? Elsmere, Neb. P. S. DADY. CO-OPERATORS SAVE MILLIONS Farmers’ co-operative organizations in northern and western states, pro- moted by county agents during the year 1919, effected savings of $5,434,- 000 for their members, according to reports of the agents to the United States department of agriculture. Co- operative grain elevators, creameries and livestock selling associations were the principal enterprises covered in the report. GAS FROM STRAW Gas is being made from wheat, bar- ley and oat straw at the experimental farm of the United States department of agriculture at Arlington, Va. Fifty - pounds of. straw produces 300 cubic feet of gas, enough to drive a light automobile 15 miles. PAGE SIXTEEN . ADVERTISEMENTS Simple Mixture Makes Hens Lay By W. S. Burgess Any poultry raiser can greatly in- crease his profits, easily and quickly, by taking advantage of the 35 years’ experience of a successful poultryman. A lifelong study of egg production has resulted in a secret formula of buttermilk and other valuable ingre- dients that puts pep into lazy hens. Users report increases of two to seven times as many eggs. This secret formula is now put up in tablet form and is called Combs’ Buttermilk Compound Tablets. Sim- ply feed,in water or mix with feed. I am so convinced that this wonder- ful formula is always successful that I say kill the hen that won’t lay after using it. One million new users are wanted, so for a limited time any reader of this paper can get a big double-size box (enough for a season) on free trial by simply writing for it. Send no money. Use the tablets 30 days; if at the end of that time your hens are not laying two or three times as many eggs; if you are not more than satis- fied in every way, the tablets cost you nothing. If completely satisfied this big double-size box costs you only $1 on this introductory effer. Simply send name—postecard will do—to Milk Prod- ucts Co., 106 Creamery Bldg., Kansas City, Mo., and the big box of tablets will be mailed immediately, postpaid.
