American Farm Bureau Shows Progress in Work Os Organizing New Units Decision to employ additional as sistance to push organization and financial matters, authorization of a conference to be called to consider dairy marketing problems, the adop tion of a program of work for the bureau of economics and research, the appointment of a committee to ■work out further details of proposed packer legislation, nppointmenb of a committee to,, work with the ex tension service of the United States department of agriculture in the shaping of policies, discussion of ru ral credits measures, consideration of possible remedies for the wool, cotton and grain market situation and a definition of the federation’s attitude toward commercial activi ties were the outstanding features of the meeting of the executive com mittee of the American Farm Bu reau Federation, held at Chicago, October 13 and 14. The resolution passed at the re cent meeting of the mid-west states requesting the enlargement of the wool committee was approved and the president authorized to appoint a man • from each wool producing Those appointed on the committee to confer with the extension service in the shaping of policies are H. E. Freehold, N. J.; James W. Morton, Athens, Ga., and C. E. Gun nels, Chicago. The committee to consider packer legislation includes J. R. Howard, Gray Silver and Howard Leonard. A matter of much importance was the adoption of a motion defining the attitude of the American Farm Bu reau Federation toward the commer cial activities of the county: and state organizations as follows: “The farm bureau, as an organization, shall not engage in commercial ac tivities, nor shall it hold stocks or bonds in organizations undertaking such activities. It may encourage, however, the organization of such activities or industries as may seem necessary and advisable to the board of directors.” Brief addresses were given before the committee by Mr. C. A. Burton, chairman of the American Commis sion for Austrian Relief, by Mr. Milo D. Campbell, of Michigan, by Aaron Sapiro, and by Mr. Über, of New York City. Mr. Burton proposed a plan for the transfer of American wool and cotton to Austria and Ger many to be made up into cloth and enough cloth returned to this coun try to pay for the wool supplied. This would be equivalent to the re turn of about 29 per cent of the wool Mr. Burton said. This was re ferred to the wool committee. Mr Campbell asked for the co operation of the American Farm Bu reau Federation in organizing milk producers’ associations in unorgan ized territory. The committee ex pressed its entire approval of this idea and offered to extend its serv ices where needed for this purpose. The president was authorized to call a conference to consider the market ing of dairy products as soon as con venient. Mr. Sapiro discussed at some length the existing situation with reference to the proposed campaign for a protective tariff on a variety of farm products. Mr. Sapiro pointed out the dangers of treating this problem as a sectional matter and emphasized the necessity for a unit ed effort and a well-planned cam paign of any really effective tariff legislation is to be written on the statute books. Mr. Sapiro’s ideas on this subject are in entire accord with those outlined by the legisla tive office of the federation and will be put into effect as full yas present equipment and. circumstances will allow. Gray Silver presented a paper dis cussing the banking and credit situa,- tion as affecting the farmer and set forth the details *of proposed reme dies, including a rural credits bill distinctly different from any of those now pending. This rural credit plan utilizes the present federal farm loan machinery and is apparently a sim ple, inexpensive and efficient solution of the rural credits problem. One of the most interesting fea tures of the meeting was the sum mary of organization and member ship activities reported by Secretary J. W. Coverdale, and supplemented by members *from several states. Mr. Coverdale showed that since the lat ter part of July state organizations have been formed in Rhode Island, Virginia, Texas and Florida and that in North Carolina, Arkansas and North Dakota matters have pro gressed to the point that state organi zations will be formed very soon. Owing to local conditions, Oklahoma has definitely decided not to put on a membership drive at present. In Wisconsin the Equity Union has practically completed arrangements to affilftite with the farm bureau. Membership campaigns are on in a large number of states and are in creasing in both number and intensi ty as the winter approaches. There has been a very noticeable trend in recent months to make the member ship fee not less than $5, and $lO is ths popular figure. The New England states are put ting oq a drive at the ?10 rate and Mr. Cornwall, of Vermont, reports that in hie state* Addison county -Is showing am 85 per cent membership of all the farmers of the county. Waco .county, Texas, expects 4,000 members on a $lO basis. Four Texas counties already have a total mem bership of over 5,000 and campaigns are starting in seven more counties soon. They expect a total member ship of 10,000 by November 1. Dr. Bradford Knapp is assisting in the organization of farm bureaus in Arkansas. Five counties are already organized and a state organization will soon be effected. Nebraska opens a state member ship campaign on October 18. Active membership drives are on in Minnesota and South Dakota, as well as in all the older federated states. Illinois now reports a mem bership of 100,870. Michigan reports 84,000, lowa is out after an additional 20,000, which would bring their total up to 138,000. President Howard announced, that on the nomination of the federation. Mr. Harvey J. Sconce, of Sidell, 111., and W. S. Hill, of Mitchell, S. D., had been appointed delegates of the United States government to the bi ennial assembly of the International Institute of Agriculture at Rome, Italy. Mr. Sconce sailed from New York October 9. but an accident to one of the members of Mr. Hill’s family will prevent his attendance. Mr. Howard stated that he had been requested by the Vegetable Growers' Association of America to call a conference to consider vegeta ble marketing problems along lines similar # to the conferences already held for live stock and grain grow ers. October 22 and 23 has been set for such a meeting to be held at Co lumbus, Ohio. Mr. C. W. Waid, sec retary of the Vegetable Growers’ As sociation of America, was designated the representative of the American Farm Bureau Federation to handle matters relating to vegetable produc tion and marketing under the direc tion of the president. 4 Arrangements for the annual meet ing at Indianapolis, December 6,7 and 8, were worked out and commit tees on resolutions, credentials, amendments and program were .au thorized. The various states are reouested to prepare and send into the Chicago office at once all resolutions which they would like to have presented at the annual meeting.

Wise Pdtato Grower Will Study Market Before Selling Crop Whether to dispose of his potato crop direct from the fields or to hold it for possible later increase in prices, is a problem which con fronts the farmer every fall. On the one hand is the buyer offering figures based on tlfe quantity and other conditions of the market, the tightness of money, and a number of related conditions which may depress the price. On the other, he is con-1 fronted with the expense of storing, the shrinkage in volume, possibility of rot, and the uncertainty of the number of bushels of potatoes which will be carried over by f.arrfiers throughout the U. S. to be thrown into the market during the winter. It is a problem that has to be decided, because the crop is there. It is a problem that the farmer must decide for himself. Lowest in October Prices naturally are lowest in Oc tober, when the crop is just out of the ground.

United States department of agricul ture, covering the last ten years, shows that the average price rises very slightly until the first of Jan uary, and then more rapidly until the first of March’, another sharp advance taking place between V.pril planting season and June. These are only averages, however, and may be varied by many condi tions which the farmer has to study largely for himself. Reasoning about future prices is usually difficult at the present time. A study of the general tendencies of the market, whether up .or down, must be based on facts perraining to the country as a whole. 'The supply may be less than usual in a certain county, but if the total crop is large the size of this total cijpp will have a tendency to. lower prices even in this county of short production. Brices in that county' may be high, but they will not be so high as they would have been ,'if the total produc tion of the country had not been so large. That is, the conclusions dawn from the broad and general information may be modified by lo cal conditions in each section, but it remains true that eah of these sections will be influenced by the up and down tendencies which move over the country as : a whole. A grower should know the general sit uation in order to make proper al lowances for local conditions, and he should not only study the potato market but should consider the size of the sweet potato and other food crops which may influence the de mand and consumption of white po tatoes. He must watch, too, the trend of general prices, especially food prices.. If general prices should fall devidedly, then the price of po tatoes might be carried lower than Sale of Produce Direct to Users Pays in New York » Despite the fall slump z in produce prices, a number of farmers in the vicinity of New Y’ortf'are receiving higher prices for their produce than ever before. One of the farmers located 20 miles from New York on a main highway has. written Secretary of Agriculture Meredith urging him to encourage roadside selling- of farm produce direct to consumers at the farm. This farmer stated that he had disposed of practically all of his fruits and vegetables in this way. people coming frorh quite a distance the year’s production would war rant. The accompanying chart shows the farm prices of potatoes, averaged for all sections of the country on the first of each month from October, 1910 to September, 1920. In this table a comparison of the December andj-the following March prices shows that in 1917 and 1918 the March prices were lower than the Decem ber prices, and in 1912 and 1914 they I were slightly higher, although al^ 1 lowirig for shrinkage and other loss es of storage, lhey really yielded a smaller return.’•That is, in all years having a production of more than 400,000,000 bushels, the March price was either lower than the December price,- or the increase was negligible. When the production has been less than 375,000,000 bushels, the price has tended-to increase as the season advanced. The farmer may judge for himself whether the same fac tors will apply to the present year’s crop, which is estimated at 13,000,- 000 bushels by the bureau of crop estimates, and he may apply his own conclusions in deciding when to sell his potatoes. In comparing th<nwices of one year with those of another, allowance must be made for the rapid decrease during the last few years in the purchasing price of the dollar. For instance, $1.61 per bushel in 1919 and 80 cents per bushel in 1911 does not mean that potatoes were twice as valuable at the later date. The increase in price may have had noth ing to do with the potato business. It may have come from the general rise which increased the price of wheat, clothing and machinery, as well as potatoes. The effects of the general increase in prices must be eliminated from the calculation. Potato Exports Small Before attempting to analyze the relations between the figures of pro duction and stocks on the one hand and prices on the other, .it should be mentioned that potatoes are not ex ported to any great extent, seldom more than 1 per cent of the crop be ing carried out of the country. Neither are potatoes carried over from one season to another, as is the case with some crops. That is, the potato crop is practically all consumed in this courftry and each | season’s crop is a separate problem in itself. This is one of the large potato years, and the way in which the question of time of marketing is set tled by the individual farmer means an immense sum of money in the gross returns from one of the na tion’s leading crops. The wise grow er will study every phase of condi tions, and will utilize the aids which are furnished by the crop and market reports of the United States depart ment of agriculture. to make purchases. “Everything ex cept some corn was sold right at-, the gate,” he wrote, “and at better than city prices in many instances. The consumers have received their fruit and vegetables absolutely fresh and there have been no middlemen to ab sorb part of the profits.” There are. hundreds of individual roadside markets throughout the country that are achieving similar success, say specialists of the Bu reau of Markets. United States De partment of Agriculture. Os course, it could not be recommended that farmers abandon their regular mar keting channels to take up' this plan of marketing, but there are many in- I stances where' farmers located near consuming centers and*on main high- , ways over which there is some vol- , ume of traffic might dispose of con | siderable produce by displaying at j their containing a list of i< the articles they have for sale. !• Disinfect Potato House Is Advice Given at Experiment Station EY B. B. UIGGIITS Eotamist, Georgia Experiment Station If the dust remaining in the po tato house after the potatoes are removed in the spring is examined, it is found to contain million of fun gous spores and bacteria. The fungous spores most abundant are those of Pencillium, Rhizopus, Fusa rium, and such other forms a s pro duce potato rots. Such spores are produced in great on de caying potatoes in the bins a n d are carried by air currents into the cracks and crevics of the bins and of the walls of the house; and the great majority of them remain alive, though dormant, in the dry dust for a long time. A sample of dust which was fiaken from the floor of a potato house and examined in Oc tober showed nearly a billion or ganisms. per gram of dust. If allowed to remain alive in the house, many will be dislodged and will fall on the potatoes as they are being stored and will be in position to germinate and enter the potato during, the first few days of the curing process when \ moisture is ( most abundant. It is therefore necessary to take special precau tionse to clean and disinfect the house. Several methods of’ treatment are in vogue? The surface of the walls and floor may be disinfected by spraping with strong Bordeaux mixture or with a strong lime-sul phur solution; but it is usually not possible to kill all the organism in the cracks and under the bins with these solutions. The most satis factory disinfectant so far tested- is formaldehyde gas. Being a gas. it penetrates the crevies where <me could not reach with an ordinary liquid spray. The gas is much more effective, however, when the walls of the house and the bacteria-laden dust is moist. Tests at the Geor gia Agricultural Experiment Sta tion have shown that dry fumiga tion, as often recommended, is not an efficient method of disinfection. Formaldehyde may be purchased from the druggists under the trade name of formalin. This is a 40 per cent solution of the gas in water from which the gas m&y be set free by heat or by addition of perman ganate of potash. At present the permanganate of potash is very ex pensive; and it will be found much more economical to use heat. Under the present conditions, the following method is recommended: 1. Remove all dirt and trash from the house. 2. Moisten the walls and floor thoroughly by spraying with water and then close the house for six to twelve hours. 3. Estimate the number of cubic feet of air space in the house and use three pints of formalin to each thousand cubic feet. Place the formalin in two or three shallow pans and set each pan over a large oil lamp or other burner with fuel sufficient to keep the liquid boiling two or three hours. 4. Close the doors and ventilators tightly and keep closed for forty eight hours, after which the house may be opened Ylnd aired out. Registry of Fertilizer Required in Alabama MONTGOMERY, Aid.

Annual Depredation of Foreign Insect Pests Total $500,000,000 In discovering America, Columbus not only opened up a vast new home for man, but for insect pests of cul tivated crops and domestic animals as well. Fully 100 of these foreign ers have made their way to Ameri can shores, and incidentally to Amer ican gardens and fields up to the present. They have mulitplied so that today their destruction of or chards, garden and farm crops is es timated approximately at ’5500,000,- 000 a year—more than $1,000,000 a day. Their havoc would hs much more than this were it r’x for the quarantines and cofitrol work con ducted by the Unite*! States depart ment of agricultu’d through its bu reau of entomology and its federal horticultural board. * Onl-Jt Few Native Pests that attack cultivated crops and cut into the profits of the American farmers severely, there are relative ly few of the more important ones that are native to the United States. Like many other bane ful things, insect pests and diseases have followed the course of civili sation. They are carried in many ways frtrfn one country to anoth er, and it is the work of the depart ment of agriculture to guard the United States against their entry and to prevent their spread once jthey make their appearance here. While many of the pests have come from European countries, Asia has contributed its share of them. Prom inent among these for its destruc tive activities is the San Jose scale, which made its first appearance in the United States 40 or 50 years ago, having made its way here from China. It became widespread throughout the United States in the late nineties, and at the present time there is practically not a com mercial deciduous orchard in this country that does not have to be sprayed once a year to control this pest. Some idea of the burden which this insect puts upon the orchardists of the United States can be had when it is realized that the expenditures for apparatus and spraying amount to approximately $10,000,000 annu ally In addition to this are the losses that the insect causes in spite of this control treatment, and they are very large, especially in small orchards and household plantings, where spraying is not commonly practiced. This Insect alone un doubtedly has cost this country dur ing its presence here upwards of $100,000,000. u The oriental peach moth, which gained entry in 1912 with imported oriental cherry trees from Japan, has just begun its spread and depreda tion. It affects practically all de ciduous fruits and bids fair to be as destructive as the well-known cod ling moth, the cause of wormy ap ples. The Japanese beetle, brought in about the same time as the peach moth, has already gained such firm foothold that, in view of its habits and prolonged flight, it is probably incapable of extermination and may ultimately overspread the United States. It attacks not only practi cally, all fruits but also many garden vegetables and corn. Attempts to check the spread of this pest are being made by means of federal ana local quarantines, particularly in New Jersey. Under this quarantine the government maintains a super vision over the movement of articles likely to carry the pest from infested areas to other sections of the coun try. Another foreign pest in com paratively recent years which has made its appearance in this country is the European corn borer. Infes tations have been discovered in sev eral eastern stated and local quaran tines by the federal horticultural board have been instituted to pre vent its spread to the corn belt. Re cently heavy infestations were dis covered in Canada, presenting a more immediate menace to the corn belt. Specialists of the department are now considering steps for guard ing against this new source of dan ger.

Mississippi Farmers Form Corporation For Cotton Exports MONTGOMERY, Ala. —(Special)— Farmers of Mississippi have organ ized an export corporation and are determined to export their low grade cotton to Germany, accord ing to a letter received by the Ala bama department of agriculture from the Missisippi department. The corporation has a plan whereby it will send the cotton to Germany for manufacture into cotton goods, the farmers to collect their money for the cotton when the goods are sold by the manufacturers. It is claimed that a bale of low grade cotton can be transported to Germany for forty dollars and that after all expenses have been paid the farmers can make a reasonable profit on the transaction.
