HOW MUCH TRU

\The bureau of stu
partment of agricult at Washington
estimates the total ~ut. of the cereal
crops of the ‘country at the enormous
volume of 133,016,000 tons. which will
be 20.3 per cent greater in weight than
last year. and 6.1 per cent greater than
the bumper yield of 1910. The potato
crop is put at 36 per cent greater than
that 0131911, 10 per cent larger than
the crop of 1910, and 2 per cent larger
thanthe record crop of 1909.

We,» wonder if a man, as he grows
older, doesn't see double through fail-
ing sight. Wouldn't anearly resigna—

tion of the venerable and honorable

head of the Department of Agriculture
be an acceptable New Yéar’s present,
not that he has lacked or is lacking in
energy but that he is overlapping rea—
son ln his big ﬁgures, which in turn
gives speculators more leverage.

The farmers of the country will soon
be preparing for their great annual

' turkey trotwand there will he turkeys

ample for an interesting race. The
judging ofthe unfortunate losers will
render their decisions on Thanksgiv

to lose out by merely a neck as many
will, during the excitement, undoubt-
edly lose their heads.

WOMEN’S LEAGUE
BRAYELY FIGHTING

AFTER THE MILK TRUST-*“EIGHT-
CENT MILK” THE BATTLE
' CRY. I

Aid of the. Producers—Coopera-
tio‘n Will Complete the Circle.

HUS far'the Housewives’ League
I .3 of Detroit have been unable to

nine to eight cents a quart. It is said
that the League now has. a member-
ship of two thousand, and that these
women won’t use anything but 8-cont
milk. Ofﬁcials of the organization
have taken up the matter with a local
dairyman, whose name is withheld,
and with a prominent Detroit capital—
ist. The latter has become enthused
over the work that the women are
doing in their efforts to reduce the
cost of living and has offered to
ﬁnance the deal, should the executive
board decide favorably at the meeting
Wednesday.

Under the proposed plan the proﬁts
of the producer and retailer will be
eliminated and the‘milk sold at the
actual cost of production. Systematic
utilization of the by- -,products such as—
co vexting a part of the milk fnto

“ill bring the cost to con-

‘i‘l‘ considerably lower than the
slit cents a quart for which the
neague has been conducting a boycott.

“We have gone into this business to
accomplish things—~and we are doing
it,” said Mrs. H. O. Dunk, president
of the league, last night. “Our boy-
cott against trust milk is still on and
will be continued "

We certainly hope that the ladies
will be successful in their ﬁght both
as against the “milk trust” and the
manipulators of prices on farm pro-
ducts in general. We fear that the
ladies are forgetting that out beyond
the city will be found the farmers who
must be reckoned with if the League
expects to accomplish all that it aims
to do. The farmer furnishes the raw
material, he gets the products ready
for the market, and the dealers are'
fleecxng him at the same time they are
robbing the consumer. Just as soon as
the League gets in shape where they
are cutting any ﬁgure in market con-
ditions, y0u will ﬁnd the organized
dealers will get busy and put up prices

reduce the price of milk from)" -

supply, and they will sell at a loss un-

little discouraged, then they will boost
prices again and get back their proﬁts.
It is going to take a. co-operative circle
to satisfactorily handle this proposi-
tion, and the League will ﬁnd it abso-
lutely impossible to win without the
completed circle. The producer and
consumer must be united; each must
have a personal cooperative interest
in the whole business, from the raw
material to the completed product. in

that you can maintain a price on this

DETROIT—There has been very

heavy receipts here on the Detroit-

market this laSt week. We think we
are safe in stating that 90 percent of
this hay is of a common quality. We

have been in personal touch with a."

number of cars of hay on this market,
thereby actually knowing its‘ true
-character as to grade, etc. This mar-
ket, like all others, is having a strenu-
ous ﬁght to maintain its present mar-
ket levels, but even with the condition
as above reported, a good bang-up nice
car of No. 1 timothy hay here 1351193"
would bring a nice satisfactory price.
.It is the overfeeding of this market
with common quality stuff that is put-
_ ting it in its present conditions. Quo-

ONIONS

The situation on onions is most
critical. We hate to picture the
situation as it actually exists,
but we are aware that the real
producers of 'onions are as well
of the situation as we
are. We know they appreciate
that in every direction a glutted
condition exists, which is abso-
lutely and actually true. There is an
abundance of red stock for disposition

Let’s see, who shufﬂed the cards in this game? True,the, farmer 1
didn’ t “raise the beans right from the drop of the hat.” 011,110. He. -’
—-~‘plowed, he harrowed he drilled, he cultivated, he pulled, he dijeW
from the ﬁelds, he threshed, and he then drew his beans to the elevator
man. 1;.
And the elevator man shuffled the cards. And remember, he'can
handle the bean cards in pretty good shape; he plays the game every
day—it’s his business. Could it be possible that he stacked the cards?
Perish the thought. The elevatZSi' man justg o"uesscd at the future

farmer a good dea1~and himself a good deal more, of course. \

to the truth\ No one doubts Michi—

the grower wants is a plan whereby
he may market his product at a. proﬁt
In this same City of Detroit where the
exhibit is to be held, not one person in
ﬁve is getting anywhere near the fruit
he wants, due to . exorbitant prices
asked by dealers. If the censumers
would put up a counter exhibit along-
side or the apple show, showing the
systematic robbery that’is being pran

AS’I‘ week, beef on the hoof sold

This was the highest» price

This new high record is not the
result of sudden, spasmodic or tem~

culmination of conditions which have
been steadily approaching for several
years.

In connection with these facts it is
important to ﬁx in mind the actual

that meat is steadily costing more

From personal obser-

TO SHIPPERS OF LIVE POULT’RY.
Shippers should see that the coops

_are in good condition before using:

so that they are not liable to come

apart while in transit as they are-

ro oughly handled sometimes. The
means should also be high enough to
allow whatever kind 0! Poultry is
shipped 100m enough to stand up.

Low coops should not be used, it not .

but a great deal

suffocation For Turkeys higher
coops; than tor Chickens should be

used

Filling of Coops—Coops may be
.loaded heavier in cold than in hot
weather. Do not overcrowd the

Tags with the name of the com-
mission merchant and the shipper
shou._d be tacked on the end of the

so that it one gets destroyed
the other is likely to remain all

Never tack the tag on the top of

Be sum and write your name and
