Report of New York Delegation
W hich Studied the Subject Abroad.
NW rORK, Dec. 20.—Forming an
exhaustive study of agricultural con
ditions abroad, comparative with
those of tills 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.
report, which is the result of
♦ he work of the American Commis
sion abroad, was compiled after in
vestigations which extended through
y nIl re the British Isles, Germany,
- itzerland. Italy, Austria, and even
\ far a way 2s Egypt. it arrives at
. general conclusion that American
fanning may be pushed to a higher
degree of development by adopting
,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
cost of living problem, the commis
sioners believe.
The Member*.
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,-
oo,‘ 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,
nd 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 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 pale of farm products. Never
theless 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 Agrlcolee 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
end other reforms and improved
methods; uphold their cause before
’he governing bodies; claim their
realization, especially as regards the
charges that weigh on land; the tar
iffs of the railways, commercial
treaties, customs 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 essays on cul
tivation, on machines, perfected im
plements and everything which facil
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 fire and accidents; establish
offices 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 all raw or manufactured mate
rials, so as to profit the members.
They supervise deliveries made by or
to Its 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.
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 the
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 tc
eliminate rehandling and overlapping.
"Co-operation is needed among the
producers in wholesale purchase of
supplies, study of market require
ments, standardization or 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 mtr 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 fanners can send their
commodities and be sure of having
them placed at the disposition of the
consumers wlthotu being held for !
speculation.
RICHMOND, VA„ Dec. 20.—Mrs.
Flora Cameron Zinn, daughter of
Colonel Alexander Cameron, retired
millionaire tobacconist, of this city,
has just been granted a divorce in
the Law and Equity Court from
George Zinn, of Orange County, V&.,
former football star at the University
of Virginia and a relative by mar
riage on his mother's side to the
wealthy DuPont family of Delaware.
Mrs. Zinn obtained the divorce on
the strength of evidence which New
York detectives recently collected
against her husband in that city,
when he was trailed from the Wal
dorf-Astoria to a house on Fifty-
second street. Zinn did not oppose
the action. He is well known in fash
ionable horse show circles. At col
lege he was a member of the Delta
Psi Fraternity and other exclusive so
cieties.

tuting milk—and Pasteurised milk, at
that—the Tennessee Coal, Iron and
Railroad Company, which employs
more men than any other company in
the South, is making an effort to

establishing a dairy with a number
of line cows, the companv has made
arrangements with dairymen for their
full output, which is Pasteurized.
Then the milk is placed before the
employees in such a manner as al
most to force itself on the men.
Instead of running to the nearest
saloon for a glass of beer, the men
have taken to drinking milk.
The company flnda it Is cheaper to
offer Inducements to the.old bands
than to keep up a labor bureau, with
agents constantly in the Held for new

homes are kept in good repair. In
many Instances ground Is furnished

board for Him.
I.OS ANGELES, Dec. 20. Dong
Beach is a long way from the Garden
of Eden, historically, but it also had
an apple story.
A burglar of that town, during the
leisurely robbing of a house Sunday
morning at church time, ate some ap
ples that were on the sideboard and
left the dents of his teeth in a core.
Chief of Police Austin, of Long
Beach, used to practice dentistry. He
saw those dents.■ A brilliant and nov
el Idea occurred to him. He had ft
plaster cast made of the teeth marks.
Then he began to look around for
suspects. Yesterday morning he found
a young man whose teeth exactly fit
ted the imprints taken from the ap
ple core.
This is the point to tell that the
young man broke down and conf©se
ed, which is a fact.
Ships Tons of Beans
By the Parcel Post
LANDER, WYO., Deo. 20.—Because
Frank Welty, who conducts a store at

body else had their oontract. Recently
Welty had 1,200 pounds of beans shipped
from Powell, Wyo., to Dubois, by parcel
post, the shipment consisting of slxt£
packages of 20 pounds each.

liver this mail at Fort Washakie, Bybee.
& Beard addressed a letter of protest
to Welty. To-day they received the fol
lowing reply:
"Gentlemen: Cheer up—the worst is
vat to Come. 1 have 5 tons more of
beans coming from Basin by parcel post.
You should worry."
