TO CONTROL PRICES
OF FARM PRODUCTS
Society of Equity Will Dis
cuss Plans.
INDIAXOPOLIS, IND., October 19.
—(Special)—With the object of con
trolling the prices of all the agricul
tural products of the country, dele
gates from thirty-eight states, rep
resenting a present membership of
300,000 farmers, will assemble in In
dianapolis next Tuesday for the fifth
annual convention of the American
Society of Equity.
Already the society has succeeded
in greatly raising the price of tobac
co and other minor products, and
plans will be completed at the pres
ent meeting to extend its influence
over all commodities raised on the
farm and in the orchard and garden.
Great gains have been made in the
last year and the officers of the or
ganization are now predicting that
within a year one million active farm
ers in the central west will be band
ed together in an offensive and de
fensive warfare for higher prices.
Marketing System.
In his annual address, J. A. Everitt,
president and founder of the society,
will recommend the establishment of
a marketing system for the society,
whereby its members may dispose of
their products direct to the consum
ers in the large cities, thus eliminat
ing middlemen. Up to this the efforts
of the society have been largely di
rected toward education and organiza
tion, and it is now said to be in a
position to install a machine for
marketing that will bring home to
members the material benefits that
such a plan promises.
“The present convention will be
the most noteworthy gathering 1 of
the agricultural interests of the na
tion ever held, declared President
Everitt. “We are now in a position
to bring to the farmers of the coun
try material benefits that will open
the eyes of all of them.
Prices Not Advanced.
By securing better prices for the
growers of farm products it does not
mean that the consumer will have
to pay advanced prices for his sup
plies. On the contrary, it is our in
tention to eliminate some of the toll
gates that now stand between the pro
ducer and the consumer. The mid
dlemen are now getting more than
they are entitled to. Our society in
tends to divide some of the middle
men’s profit in an equitable manner
between the producer and the consum
er.”
The plan of the society is to con
trol the supply of agricultural pro
ducts in the hands of the first owners
and hold it until the price demanded
is paid. Up to this time the most ag
gressive work has been done in sec
tions of the country producing large
ly of a certain crop, as in the tobacco
districts of Kentucky, Tennessee and
Virginia.
At present meeting minimum sell
ing prices will be established on all
farm products and the members will
then pladge themselves to hold their
stores until the market price reaches
the coveted figure. Already the so
ciety has established commission
houses in St. Louis and Kansas City,
and the wheat growers of the South
west are patronizing them liberally.

SWEET POTATO
VINE 34 FEET LONG
On a lot in the rear of his resi
dence No. 709 Elmore street. Mr. W.
1. Crapps has grown a sweet potato
vine which when measured yesterday
in the Times-Recorder office was a
trifle under 34 feet in length. The
vine has not fully matured and had
1 it been left in the patch would have
added a foot or two more before nip
ped by frost. So luxuriant is the
growth of the vines that they must
be clipped at frequent intervals to
permit of cultivation.
The potato is a variety known as
the long shank yam, the species hav
ing been brought from Tifton by Mr.
Crapps. It yields prolifically. It is
estimated that the proportionate
crop a acre, based on the fraction of
an acre which Mr. Crapps has plant
ed, would be about 700 bushels. At
prevailing prices an acre would net
the producer nearly SSOO.
PROGRESS IN
AERIAL NAVIGATION
_______ *
Great Problem Is Going
Against The Wind.
Aerial navigation has reached a
point, at least in Germany, says a
Berlin dispatch, where many of the
most prominent investigators are
asking themselves in which direction
they shall pursue their experiments.
The problem of steering is satisfac
torily solved, but there remains the
important question of the conquest
of the contrary currents of the air,
and this raises the issue between the
advocates of ‘lighter than air” and
“heavier than air,”.
Balloons inflated with gas are gen
erally regarded here as having near
ly, if not quite, attained the final stage
of their possibilities, which, although
marevelous in comparison with a few
years ago, still leaves much to be
accomplished before it can be said
that the air is mastered.
The greatest speed attained, and this
applies also to French balloons, has
not exceeded about 28 miles an hour,
and at that rate would be driven
backward in a strong wind. Even the
Zeppelin balloon, which is credited
with a speed of 33 or 34 miles an
hour, would do little more than hold
its own.
The cigar-shaped balloon main
tains favor, but the material of con
struction is varied. In Zeppelin’s
balloon the envelope is entirely alum
inum covered with silk and rubber;
in the military airship the lower por
tion of the main body of the envelope
is of metal covered with silk and rub
ber and the ends and upper portion
of ordinary balloon material; Parse
val’s balloon is entirely composed of
flexible material.
The Zeppelin, even after the es
cape of considerable gas, retains its
shape and is able to proceed. Count
Zeppelin’s further trials are awaited
w r ith great interest, for if he can
maintain a speed of 34 miles an
hour, as he declares he can, meteoro
logical averages show that he could
sail through the air on an. average
of 90 out of every 100 days. Only
on ten out of 100 days does the wind
exceed 30 miles ejAi hour.
At a high altitude the balloon w r ould
be able to pass over an enemy’s camp
without running much danger, ow
ing to its construction in 12 or 15
entirely separate compartments.
Even should several compartments
be pierced by shot and collapse, the
metal envelope would not change its
shape and the voyage could be con
tinued.
The Parseval balloon, which has
shown wonderful powers of naviga
tion in calm weather, has in the en
velope containing the gas two bal
loons, one in front, the other in
the rear, which, when one or the other
is pumped full of air by the motor,
change the equilibrium and permit
the baWoon to ascend or descend in
oblique direction.
The only serious German experi
menter thus far with flying machines
“heaver than air” is Herr Karl Jatho,
of Hanover. He has constructed an
aeroplane composed of six sails—a
horizontal steering sail, a horizontal
mainsail, two vertical fixed sails—a
wind propeller and a basket or plat
form carrying a twelve-horse power
motor. The equilibrium of the aer
oplane is maintained by the horizont
al steering sail. Should the motor
cease working from accident or oth
er cause the mainsail acts as a para
chute.

comes the Countess Szechnenyl she
will always remind her friends of an
incurable case of hay fever.—Wash
