5 D TTEARST’S SUNDAY AMERICAN, ATLANTA. C!A„ SUNDAY, DECEMBER 21, 1913. Co-operation Keynbte for Farm and City Is Chief Recommendation in Report of New York Delegation Which Studied the Subject Abroad. XBW YORK, Dec. 20.—Forming an exhaustive study of agricultural con ditions abroad, comparative with those of this country, the report of the New York State delegation of the American Commission 'will be presented simultaneously with the presentation to Congress of the re port of the Federal commission. The report, which is the result of the work of the American Commis sion abroad, was compiled after in vestigations which extended through France, the British Isles, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Austria, and even as far away -s Egypt, it arrives at the general conclusion that American farming may be pushed to a higner degree of development bv adopting do-operative measures similar to those employed in many foreign countries and which have reached their most efficient condition in France. This, in effect, is the real solution of the high Dost of living problem, the commis sioners believe. The Members. It was prepared by Frederick H. Allen, Robert B. VanCortlandt, C. C. Mitchell and Professor George N. Lauman. It says, in part: “Some of the points that strike an American most forcibly in European agriculture are: “The high price of land, which sells for $40 an acre for pasturage in such countries as Ireland, to $3,000 an acre for the best orange groves in Spain and Italy. Vinyard lands in France, Italy and Spain sell at $1,500 and $2,- 500, whereas cultivated lands adjacent are worth only $125 to $500 an acre, and cultivtaed land in Germany $80 to $500 an acre., “The high price of such products as wheat, which sells at $1.60 a bushel, and beef, which sells at 16 cents a pound, dressed weight, in Italy, and proportionately high in the other Eu ropean countries. The only cheap farm products are fruit, wine, olive oil and eggs. Grain is raised every where and often ground into flour in co-operative mills. Milk is distrib uted economically and is cheap; poul try also. Co-operative Societies. “Co-operative societies exist in all the countries, especially among the farmers, for the purchase of seed, fertilizers, agricultural machinery and other things. Only recently have marketing societies been established for the sale of farm products. Never theless 1 some of them have attained marvelous results and their rate of progress is notable. “Most of the European countries have built up agriculture through as sociations highly developed, France having attained probably the most success through this method. Grange Idea Improved Upon. “The Syndicates Agricoles and their affiliated societies correspond to the granges in America, but differ from them in their perfection of business organization and the re markable success achieved In up building the commercial side of agri culture. The general object of these Is to study and protect the economic interests of the farmers. They ex amine and point out all legislative and other reforms and improved methods; uphold their cause before the governing bodies; claim their realization, especially as regards the charges that weigh on land: the tar iffs of the railways, commercial treatiesAcustoms and octroi duties, the rights of stalls and fairs and mar kets. “They spread agricultural teaching and knowledge of farming by courses of instruction, lectures, distribution of leaflets and establishment of libra ries. They encourage essavs on cul tivation. on machines perfected im plements and everything which fac A- Itates work, reduces the cost and in creases the production. Furnish Credit. “They start and support institu tions for agricultural credit, for pi\- duction and sale, for insurance against lire and accidents; establish office? of information as to supply and demand, produce, fertilizers, cat tle, seeds and agricultural machines. “They become agents for the sale of produce, for the purchase of fer tilizers. seeds, implements, live stock and ;^1 raw or manufactured mate rials. so as to profit the members. They supervise deliveries made by or to Us members, so as to secure hon esty and repress fraud. “As an outgrowth of the agricul tural purchasing societies, associa tions for rural credit, mutual insur ance against damage of crops and ac cidents to live stock, stock breeders’ and cow-testing associations have been formed. Recommendations. In making its recommendations the commission says: “It needs a readjustment of existing methods in distributing, marketing and delivery of farm products, par ticularly that part which takes place between the city terminals and tlie consumer. “Co-operation is needed among con sumers in purchasing their supplies at wholesale and an effort on their part to simplify deliveries so as to eliminate rehandling and overlapping. “Co-operation is needed among tlv producers in wholesale purchase of supplies, study of market require ments, standardization of produce, full carload shipment and cold storage collecting stations. “Conservation of soil fertility is re quired, reafforestation, development of water power, adaptation of crops to locality and market and mu' inten sive methods of cultivation. Accounting Needed. “Industrialization and commercial ization of agricultural business is needed: keeping accounts and regu lating operations accordingly and not waiting for the end of the year, but checking up frequently, as contract ors do. “We need a more reasonable stand ard for the quality and purity of milk and a better regulation of the cold storage of eggs and butter. “Simpler and cheaper means of borrowing money for the acquiring of farm land, for permanent improve ments and also for seasonable opera tion. “Better roads in the country, par ticularly the side roads which branch out to the farms away from the State roads. Farm Demonstrations. “Practical demonstration on the farm of what it is possible to do un der average conditions in farming for profit. “An open market for all farm wroduce in the large consuming cen ters, where the farmers can send their commodities and be sure of having them placed at the disposition of the consumers withotu being held for speculation. “Our problem is one of reducing the excessive expense of getting prod uce from the city terminals to the consumer. The power to cut down this cost lies in the hands of the con sumer himself, and he must exercise this power if he is to reduce the cost of living. “For example, the producers and transportation companies are doing pretty well to get milk to New York >ity at 4 cents a quart; oranges at $2 a box of 200, and potatoes at 50 cents a bushel. If the consumers want to enjoy these wholesale prices by combining to purchase collective ly, they have only to follow the ex ample of those in Europe and form themselves into co-operative associa tions, and the producers will meet them at the city terminals at prices 250 per cent to 350 per cent less than they pay at present at retail. “Some non-perishable products can be bought at wholesale \.ith almost as much saving as those above re ferred to. Retail profit alone amounts to 100 per. cent on rice, 112 per cent on tea. 114 per cent on dried codfish, and an average of 50 per cent on canned goods. The co-operative so cieties in Europe are paying these profits to themselvesT’and at the same time they see that the goods age gen uine and full measure.” Mrs. Zinn Divorced From Gridiron Hero Evidence Secured by Detective Who Follows Husband—Both Promi nent in Social Life.

CHICAGO, Dec. 20.—Frank McCau ley, some time a deep-sea sailor, •thrust across the operating table at the Chicago Avenue Station yester day two hands that looked as if they had gone halfway through a sausage grinder. And while Ambulance Sur geon Heiwig was sewing and bandag ing, McCauley explained: “Me an’ old Roughneck—that’s my ' noncpfui on the quar terdeck of my apartment at No. 228 ucm superior street, snoozin’ in the sunshine, enjoyin’ the calm day. “All of a sudden a pirate-lookin’ rat—meanest-appenrtn’ rat you ever saw—scoots out o’ the cook’s cabin and jumps clear £ut in the middle o’ the hack yard “ ‘The rats is leavin’ the ship, I yells, which in deep-water language amounts to the same thing as sayin’. ’Man the lifeboats.’ But it seems to have a different meaning for Rough neck. “Roughneck was lyin’ asleep in my lap—but the way he sleeps is like the sleepin’ of a battery with the switch turned off. Just that simple word ‘rats,’ if appears, was the snitch to the battery for that cat. “Anyway, up jumps Roughneck an 1 digs his hind claws into my stomach as he starts to take up the pursuit o’ that rat. “ ‘No, you don’t.' says I, being will ing to let the rat move to the apart ment across the alley if he wants to, an’ I ^rabs Roughneck by the reason for his nomenclature. Now, look al me.” The surgeon pasted down the final bandage and inquired: “What are you going to do to pun ish Roughneck?” “Well” said the sailor “Roughneck did do a lot to me, but, on the other hand, 1 kept Roughneck away from that rat. I guess me and Roughneck is about even.” FISH KILLS AN OYSTER. . MIDDLETOWN. DEI . Dec. 20.— J. W.

He Nevev Cusses, Even if He Did Write About It. PITTSBURG, Dec. 20,—Professor H. C. Long, of the Carnegie Institute of Technology, would like to have it thoroughly understood that he knows nothing about profanity. He'doesn’t use It, he doesn’t like it and he is mighty tired of it. and anything that he may have said aoout'it he takes back. Last year one of the editors of The Tartan, the institute paper, told Pro fessor Long that the principal edito rial of a coming issue of tne paper was to deal with profanity. The young man stated that an effort was being made to lessen the evil among stu dents and requested that Professor Long write a contribution «>n the sub ject. Mr. Long said he didn’t know anything about it, but wrote an iron ical article on profanity as it is spoken. Within three days after tl# article was printed in The Tartan it ap peared in newspapers all over the country. Attention was called to the fact that Professor Long believed that the quickest way to relieve overheat ed feelings was to say something, neat, snappy and reasonably profane. He was hailed as an authority on tne subject and was swamped with mall from persons who had thought up something he might like for it* terse ness. Now the very word profanity irritates him. He’s sorry he e’ er said a word about it. PAROLED CONVICT BARRED. LA PORTE, IN in..

Poses Wife for ‘September Morn’ Indiana Woman Objected So Loudly Policeman Heard Rumpue and Interferes TO DRY STATES Webb-Kenyon Law Does Not Bar Personal Shipments, Accord ing to St. Paul Decision. DUS MONKS, IOWA, Deo. 20—The Webb-Kenyon law does not prevent the shipment of liquor into dry ter ritory for the consumer’s personal use. Judge Charles A. Willard has made this ruling in Federal Court at St. Paul in the case of the Hamm Brewing Company vs. the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific Railway. A copy of this order has been forwarded to Attorney General George Cosson. The brewing Company consigned a shipment of liquor to a Mr. Moss, of Iowa, to the Rock Island. The railroad refused to transport the liquor on the grounds that to do so would be to violate the Webb-Kenyon law. which declares it to be unlawful for a ship ment of liquor intended to be re ceived, consumed, or sold in violation of any law of the State to which it is sent. The court held, in effect, that If Moss had intended to use the liquor for bootlegging, the shipment would have been illegal, but that for per sonal consumption it could not be so held. There Is a law In Iowa, Judge Wil lard pointed out, prohibiting the transportation by any common car rier of liquors billed to any one*not holding a permit. The Webb-Kenyon bill does not prohibit interstate trans portation of liquor in violation of a State law, however, the court said. It is the carrying of liquor intended to be put to an unlawful use that the Webb-Kenyon bill prohibits. HAMMOND.
