The ordinary farmer. It was de-
clared, hud no time or at least made
no attempt to find out which hens
were the producers and which were
the loafers, with the result that thou-
sands of hens are kept on the farm |
at a heavy loss to the owner.
The loafing hen. It was shown, laid
eggs only during the time when they
were cheapest and loafed when eggs
were worth something.
Recently the extension division of
the college of agriculture of Ken-
tucky held nine poultry culling dem-
onstrations for the purpose of show-
ing poultrymen how to distinguish
between the loafing and the laying
hen. On the thousands of hens
brought In for exhibit, it was found
that one-fourth to one-third of the
hens were culls.

Talk Around
The Markets
Bill Will Be Effective Soon.
Beginning October 1. the Tlncher-
Capper antl-graln gambling bill goes
into effect. The Chicago Board of
Trade on September 7 voted by un
overwhelming vote to abolish the
gambling features before the bill be-
came effective. The Kansag City
board held an election on the 12th
and did practically the same thing.
The bill prohibits the features
such as "indemnities." "puts and
calls," "bids," "Offers," "ups and
downs" on which the bill places a
restriction tax of 20 cents a bushel.
Results To Be Seen.
Whether the bill will be the pan-
acea a* claimed by its authors re-
mains to be seen. It is a powerful
and a very resourceful organization
which the bill is striking at and It
may be that Its ends may be thwart
ed by the grain gamblers.
One thing Is certain. The gam
bling in grain should be stopped.
The producer Is not benefl4ed by the
fight between the "bulls" and the
"besrs."
More wheat was sold on the
Chicago Board of Trade In Octo-
ber, 1920, titan was raised In the
entire I nited States during the
year and the corn crop hail
been sold fourteen times before
a bushel of the corn had reached
the market, it is said.
The speculators know Just when
the farmer must sell and they take
advantage of the situation by gam
bling away the farmers' profits in
trading in what are called "options"
or covenants to deliver a certain
amount of grain at a given time and
at a given price.
The maintenance of the system of
fixing prices of the farmers' prod
ucts by gambling on the stock ex-
change result in low prices to the
farmer, high prices to the consumer
and vast profits to the speculator.
The claim is made that the specu-
lator tends to stabilize prices, and
fluctuations are always greater in
markets where there is no organ-
ized speculation.
The farmer and student of the
ways of the speculator, however,
contends that the wheat crop could
not have been in more unscrupulous
hands than the speculators who have
• heretofore directed the market.
Advantage to Speculators.
Tt Is their claim that the custom of
rushing farm products to market
has played iato the hands of the
speculators who have forced prices
to the lowest point, stocked up
heavily, then as the prices have ad-
vanced received the profits which
the farmer had previously been
forced to lose.
The speculators hare always
been ready to advance the price
after they have the grain in
their hands.
Advantage of Holding.
\ As an evidence that there is
i money in holding grain until the
; time for consumption has arrived,
is shown in the fact that farmers
have g;one together In co-operative
elevators and have made a yearly
profit of 30 to 100 per cent in many
instances.
Canada on the (tight Track.
Two of the largest elevator sys-
tems in Canada are owned and op-
erated by 59,000 farmer sharehold-
ers. The organization has approxi-
mately 700 co-operative elevators.

mended When Soil Be-
comes Diseased.
Where the crop of peas grown for
canning or truck market purposes
the past season has shown root rot,
a long rotation of dther crops is
helpful, beginning with the next sea-
son, to rid the soil of the disease.
A four-year rotation is sometimes ef-
fective, but cases have been met,
both in the east and In the central
states, where even a lunger rotation
has proved Insufficient.
Investigations during the past
three years have shown that root rot
of peas is present in all of the larger
[ pea-growing areas east of the Mis-
sissippi, and to some extent in Mon-
tana 'aud Utah. The disease lives in
the soil and becomes more destruc-
tive each year that peas are grown
on infested land, soon reducing the
crop to Buch an extent as to make
it unprofitable. It is distributed by
the custom prevalent in some sec-
tions of transferring soil from old
fields to new ones to carry the no-
dule bacteria, and by wind and other
means.
The area of pea-sick land is wid-
ening each year. It is particularly
Important that the large aeed-grow-
Ing regions of the west, which have
remained free of the disease up to
the present time, be protected from
it by the practice of proper rotation.
The department is breeding vari-
eties of peas resistant to root rot,
but some time must elapse before
there can be any assurance that the
commercial growers' problems can
be solved in this way.

Senatorial Farm Bloc
To Insist on Demands
WASHINGTON, Sept. 24.—(By U.
P.)—Members of the senate agricul-
ture "bloc" today served notice that
they will not permit the administra-
tion to sidetrack consideration of
farm legislation.
Besides an extensive program of
its own that threatens to increase
the legislative Jam in the senate the
administration may find the "bloc"
solidly arrayed against important
features of the tax bill.
The meeting of the "bloc," which
now includes nearly a third of the
senate membership to determine its
course, will be called by Senator
Kenyon of Iowa.
The principal measures of the
"bloc" are:
1—A co-operative marketing bill,
which has been passed by the house
and reported to the senate.
2—Provision for the appointment
of a report of agricultural interests
on the federal reserve board.
3—A rural credits bill so farmers
can obtain long terra credits.
4—A "trutty in fabric" bill to stop
sale of shoddy clothing at wool
prices.
Members of the "bloc" during the
congressional vacation found a uni-
versal demand for a reduction of
freight rates. The transportation
taxes in the revenue bill will be at-
tacked as one step to this end. The
railroad debt funding bill is expected
to open up the whole question of
freight rates.
Reduction of surtax rates and re-
peal of excess profits taxes will be
stubbort'lly opposed by the "bloc."

HARDING FAILS TO ASK
SOCIAL HYGIENE BUDGET
By Federated Press.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 24.—In the
face of protests from the committee
on social hygiene of the National
League of Woman Voters, the Hard-

decided that no budget for the board
should be submitted for the year
1923. This failure to ask for funds,

by the revised tax bill, according to
the majority report of the finance
committee, submitted to the senate
