| Let Wheat Growers Get Together |
Senator Arthur Capper, than whom the farmer has no
better friend, has hope that in the coming session of Con
gress at least one or two practical steps will be taken to
bring about a better situation for agriculture. More than
likely senator’s line of reasoning will prove correct.
Some of the big industries have been hard hit by the check
in agricultural buying power. For instance the makers of
farm machinery have seen their business decline, and when
the interests of big business are affected one may reasonably
expect inquiry into the cause and definite effort to bring
some measure of relief.
Legislation, of course, never can overcome economic law,
nor can Congress cure all the ills of the farmer, but it can
aid in wiping out the differential between 80 cents wheat
and ten cents a loaf for bread. Even the most callous of
capitalists realizes that this situation cannot continue.
Fundamentally, of course, the cure of this ill will come
when the grain growers realize the necessity of wiping out
the hundred and one middlemen who gobble up three-fourths
of the pie. Eventually they must get down to real com
modity marketing through some non-profit government
agency.
“Perhaps,” says Senator Capper, “this will be a revival
of the U. S. Grain Corporation, or an extension of the work
of the Bureau of Markets, or it may mean the building of
a new federal marketing agency.”. This is getting down to
bed rock. If something of this sort be undertaken by the
government, plus a drastic revision of the transportation
act, including repeal of the so-called guarantee and recap
ture clause, the International Harvester Company may find
its business improving, and this will make a stronger appeal
in some quarters of Washington than the thought that such
legislative changes will aid the men who feed the nation.
It must be remembered, however, if any move is to be
made in the way of co-operative marketing it will have to
come from the large wheat growers themselves. No one
more than the members of the farm bloc realizes this to
be the fact There is danger in the belief that Congress can
be a cure-all- Perhaps the best cure will be the education
of the east. If the east once realizes how crippling the
farmer affects life of the Harlem flat dweller our agricul
tural population, which means a seventy billion dollar in
dustry employing one-third of American man power, would
receive more consideration.

Monsieur Loucheur, ablest finan
cial mind in France, tells Americans,
“You must put out of your minds
all idea of getting the money that
France owes you. Payment is im
possible. Consider the stupendous
sum France owes you.”
The amount that France owes us
is a little over four billion dollars.
Loucheur may be right, payment
may be impossible.
But this puzzles you. Poincafre;
consenting to a conference, says
there mustn't be any suggestion of
cutting down the amount he thinks
Germany should pay. That amount'
is thirty billions.
If France can’t pay “the stupepd-'
bus sum” of fo'tir'billions, how can
Germany pay more than Seven times
as much? Will the world confer
ence answer that question?
Ordinary arithmetic won’t answer.
Cotton sold off a little, but it is
still above 30, and if you want it
you might as well buy it now. It is,
going to be a scarce commodity.
Fortunately, the cotton grow r ers
will get a somewhat better price, not
because they deserve it, as they do,
but because the crop will be small.
Chickens lay more eggs when you
light the coop at night, prolonging
the period of eating. Everybody

prolonging the day by electric light

It seems we are getting poorer,
especially the richest among us. Only
one man in the United States this
year pays tax on income of five mil
lion dollars. The Government does
n’t tell who that one is. Income tax
reports are kept secret. The tax
that a man pays on a small home is
public property.
Only twenty-one Americans re
ported incomes of one million dol
lars or more.
In 1920 seventy reported incomes
of a million. The solitary income of
five millions represents five per cent
on one hundred million dollars. Sev
eral Americans would laugh if you
offered them a hundred million, for
everything they own. This doesn’t
mean illegal or criminal evasion of
income tax. The laws are drawn so
that they reach small men, doctors,
lawyers, moderate sized business
men. They don’t reach the really
great fortunes. Everbody knows
that several great fortunes, Henry
Ford’s, John D. Rockerfeller’s, and
two or three others are worth many
times one hundred million dollars.
But the money is in corporations.
The owners or the corporations do
not draw the money out. They re
invest it, a good thing when it is re
invested in labor giving enterprises,
not so good when invested in bonds
that pay no tax whatever.
If the election of anybody fort
president would hurt youT
or your feelings, “Lloyd’s” of Eng- j
land will insure you against that
election. One concern paid down
•$38,000 and Lloyd’s agreed to pay
$400,000 in case of Ford’s election—
issuing a policy, which is a good way
of disguising a bet.
The question is: Can Ford, by any
chance, stampede the Demoncratic
convention? Political leaders be
lieve that if Ford had a regular nom
ination it would be impossible to
beat him. If the Democrats believe
ft earnestly in 1924, and If Ford had
somebody that could" produce a
” Cress of Gold” speech’ Cor him,
stampeding the convention might not
be difficult. What politicians want,
first ijf all, is to win. •

Turkey and Chicken Sale Vidalia ?
The chicken and turkey sale that
will be held at Vidalia Nov. 21st
will afford a good opportunity to
move the fat turkeyd afuf surplus'
grade hens from the fahns. Usually
these sales just before Thanksgiving
secure better prices than the other
fall -isales. • With the large number
of turkeys that are expected *we
think we can secure good bids from
the eastern buyers and who put
either chickens or turkeys in this
sale. Please remember the chick
ens should be fattened and the tur
keys can very profitably be fatten
ed. Chickens should be shut in a
small pen for ten days before the
sales. will not stand con
finement but they will fatten rapid
ly if you have a pea field you can
turn them in or if you will give them
shelled corn once a day for three
days then feed corn twice a day for
three more days, then increase the
feed to three times daily. Your corn
will bring you a mighty good price
sold to your turkeys that way. Sell
the fat ones to the Thanksgiving sale
and keep the light and thin ones un
til the Christmas trade when you
can have them fat too.
Chickens should be fed a mash
made of corn meal and butter milk.
They will fatten rapiSly on that.
Hog Sale November 23
The regular monthly hog sole will
be held at Lyons Nov. 23rd, the
fourth Friday. Do not bring hogs
that do not weigh 100 pounds. We
have more demand for these light
pigs at home for feeders than we
can supply. There were 25 pigs in
the last car which I wanted to cut
out but had to let them go as the
buyers insisted. So be careful and
bring only the fat 100 pounds and
heavier hogs. Os course the No. 1
hogs will bping the most. They
weigh from 165 to 300 at present.
Please list your hogs with me just
as fast as you decide to sell them.
It is necessary that I notify the buy
ers the week before the sale whether
or not we will have a car and if the
farmers have not listed a carload
with me I always wire thejn to that
effect and-notify the fanners who:
have listed that the sale # postpon
ed. Then if you have not listed
yours with me and do not get word,
you will very probably be ptft to
some trouble when you bring yours
in if the sale were postponed. How
ever it is best to be sure to let me
know what you will bring anyway.
Buying Chicken Stock
There is a tendency to buy heavily
of some breed of poultry in an ef
fort to get started in the chicken
business at once. Os course good
prices on eggs and poultry make this
a temptation but you know the re
turns from each hen is usually small
and it requires quite a number to
make a large return. If this entire!
flock of grown hens are bought at
the present high prices the over head
is necessarily too heavy. So it is
better to buy eggs or baby chicks
and grow them out thus getting the
experience that is so necessary to
success while you are growing out
these small chicks. There is good
money in the poultry business, es
pecially eggs, but it is not a game to
"plunge into without experience and
invest heavily before you have had
th experience. In some instances
I have gone through rather large
flocks purchased by farmers starting
and found large numbers of poor,
Weak or sometimes diseased birds I
that will start off with a handicap. '
This can be avoided by getting
some one who knows poultry to look j
over the birds before buying and also |
take a careful look at the weekly j
poultry and egg sales from these
birds to see whether or not they are
actual producers.
Above all else remember it takes
feed to make hens lay. Feed them
a balanced feed and feed them the
proper proportions of laying mash
and scriach feed. If you do not
know how to mix these feeds write
me or call me up and I will give you
the information. It has been car
ried in the two county papers twice
this year. But if you missed seeing
those articles in the Agricultural De
partment write me.
August is the best time to cull
hens but something can still be done
along this line if you did not do it
during that time. Poor hens and
most of the old hens should be cull
fed out and fattened for the sale^
