LEGISLATION TO HELP
STATE FARMERS SELL.
Kansas Educators Plan Co-operative
Bureau to Cut Living Cost.
A marked feature of legislation In
tho western and southern states last
winter was tho trend toward the en
couragement and development of the
co-operative principle among farmers
or among farmers and producers to
gether. In some states this was tue natural
outcome of recent efforts, usually un
der tho direction of the state uni
versity or agricultural school, to bring
together sellers and buyers of agri
cultural products. Thus the Kansas
Agricultural college and the University
of Missouri have served as clearing
mouses for apples in their respective
states. They obtained lists of produ
cers and lists of buyers and acted as
go-betweens.
So successful was this work In Kan
sas that Dean Miller of the extension
division of tho Kansas Agricultural
college and his colleagues plan to es
tablish at once a co-operative buying
and selling bureau for all Kansas farm
products. Professor Miller says:
"We shall co-operate with all exist
ing organizations of farmers of tho
state, making each local association a
sort of branch of tho central bureau at
the college. In counties where count'
demonstration agents are employed
much of tho work of organization and
operation will be done through these
agents."
Tho University of Wisconsin Is lead
ing in similar work in that state, where
an effort has been In progress for
some time to establish co-operative
storehouses and markets. One of the
bills introduced at tho present session
of the legislature provided for a com
mission, to bo composed of representa
tives from various organizations, such
as tho Consumers league, Dairy
men's, Horticultural, Tobacco Grow
ers' and Live Stock association, tho
grange, tho Society of Equity, tho
Federation of Women's Clubs and tho
Federation of Labor, which should
consider plans "for tho encouragement
of co-operative buying and selling, the
betterment of tho condition of agri
culture and tho reduction of the cost
of living."

UNCLE SAM'S LAST
LAND RAFFLE
Fort Peck Indian Reservation
Thrown Open.
8,406 FARMS AVAILABLE.
Drawing Commences Sept 1 and
Will Continue Until the 20th For
Homesteads, Which Are Worth on
the Average $25 an Acre Terms of
Payment Very Easy.
Nearly 0,000 100-acro farm homes
will be drawn by the "lucky ones" as
the result of the throwing open of
1,345.000 acres of land upon the Fort
Peck Indian reservation in northeast
ern Montana early In September. This
Is the Inst gresit land drawing Uncle
Sam has to offer his people and one of
tho greatest In the history of the gov
ernment land openings in point of fer
tility. Government agricultural experts es
timate that when this vast stretch of
soli is tilled it will add ubout 25.000.
000 bushels of grain annually to tho
production of the United States
enough to feed an entire nation.
Tho Interior department Is making
extensive preia rations to rush n big
corps of clerks to Glasgow, Havre and
Great Falls, Mont, which are to be
the registration points. These land of
fices will bo open Sept 1, and the work
of Qling for this land will then begin.
Tlio people will have a chnuee to con
tinue filing until Sept 20.
Good Chance For All,
Tbo vastiiess of the area opened to
whlto settlement Is expected to make
this one of the most alluring land open-
lugs ever presented to the people Inas
much as their opportunity of getting
something in the drawing will be
much tetter thau In any previous land
opening. For instance, when the Coeur
d'Alene, Flathead and Spokane land
drawings were hold last year 00,000
persons flled and drew for the lands
In those three Indian reservations, tho
total area of which was nbout one-
fourth of the area to be opened upon
the Fort Peck reservation.
Government officials do not believe
that more than 75,000 people will file
for tho Fort Peck land. Hence the
chances of drawing u quarter section
in tho Fort Peck reservation "lottery"
are about four times as good as they
have been In previous government land
drawings. The' actual value of this
land is said by government agricultur
al experts to average about 25 an
ncre. However, the government's ap
praisal for Its opening to white settle
ment is only from 52.50 to $7 an acre,
thus making real prizes for those who
draw this land.
Method of Drawing.
Tho drawing will take place in this
way. The names of all who fllo for
land will be placed In a big box, and
the envelopes drawn out one by one
and numbered, until enough, envelopes
are taken from tho box to correspond
with tho number of quarter sections
available 8,400. Thoso getting tho
early numbers will; of course, got first
pick of tho land, in rotation, accord
ing to tho numbers drawn. Tho ac

Settlement is tho some ns under tho
homestead law, except that tho ap
praised valuation must bo paid from
$2.50 to $7 an aero, at thoso terms.
One-fifth of the total down at time of
entry and the rest in five annual pay
ments, Tho settler, however, has the
option of taking advantage of tho new
throo year homestead law by paying
for his land at tho end of three years
and thus proving up on it That gives
the man of small means a chanco for
his "whlto nlley."
Half a dozen modern townsites al

ernment at points along tho main

MODEL OF UNSINKABLE
SHIP SHOWN IN WALES.
Water Tight Belting the Secret
Craft's Remarkable Buoyancy.
of
Remarkable experiments with the
model of an unslnkablo ship are de
scribed in a letter to the London
Times by John Roes, harbor superin
tendent at Llanolly, Wales. Tho mod
el, four feet In "length, nine inches
wide and scaled to represent a steam
boat 410 feet long and 72 wide, draw
ing 21 feet was loaded thrqugh five
hatchways with copper ore down to
thopilnisoll mark, and Mr. Rocs was
invited to do what he liked with it.
Ho tilted tho vessel sidowlse until
water filled the whole Interior to tho
deck level; then ho let go. She imme
diately righted herself and floated easi
ly and buoyantly, with tho deck just
above tho water level.
Mr. Itees pressed her well down un
der tho wnter and then let go. She
immediately bobbed up to the sur
face and floated exactly as before.
With her whole cargo shlf ted and still
full of water, she had a correspond
ing list but still three-quarters of her
deck was well out of water.
This floating power Is obtained by
such a plan of construction as to al
low water tight belting being built
outward and downward from tho deck
level. It Is nbsorbed in tho ship's
form, does not extend to the water
level and, following the lilies of the
ship, is roughly triangular in section.
Thoro is thus apparently no Interfer
ence with speed, so far as water con
tact with the hull Is concerned, nor
does it interfere with cargo carrying,
for tho vessel to all intents and pur
poses is an ordinary sized and shaped
one.
Tho Inside belting being divided into
water tight compartments, if any por.
tion of it is Injured owing to a collision
there is only a loss of floating power
corresponding to the section crushed In
and rendered useless.
The Inventor has been working on
his idea for twenty years. Ho says
that the added cost of construction to
embody his idea is about 5 per cent

CORN BELT FARMERS
Now Building Concrete Floors and
Concrete Barnyards.
(Xatiimal Crop Improvement Service)
C iitnty agents, especially from corn
belt counties, report that .a great deal
of concrete work is being done by
farmers. Concrete feeding floors seem
to be especially popular and where
feeding floors were built last year,
many farmers arc building concrete
barnyards also. After a farmer rea
lizes the great saving in time and
money, especially in feeding hogs by
the use of a concrete feeding floor,
he plans to extend his operations. The
next step frequently is to build a con
crete barnyard which will be sani
tary at all times of the year and give
good footing to man and beast every
day of the year. These concrete barn
yards are easily drained, and kept in
a clean and sanitary condition, and all
the valuable manure is easily saved.
Where a feeding floor and barnyard
have been built, sanitary water
troughs are also built of concrete as
the next step. County agents also
find that when the farmer sees it easy
to keep out of the mjid around his
barnyard, he naturally builds a cement
sidewalk connecting his farm build
ings and aUo connecting the buildings
with the house, so that at all times of
the year, regardless of the mud, rain
or snow, he can keep himself and his
cattle in a dry and sanitary condition.
Good Concrete Is Watertight.
County agents and State agricultu
ral experts during last winter's Short
Course work, found out that hundreds
of farmers had concrete basements,
but did not know how to make the
walls waterproof. All that is neces
sary m building a concrete cellar wall,
cistern or silo, to make them water
proof is to use a little care and com
mon sense in mixing the cement.
Use a 1:2:4 mix for the cellar and
cistern walls, and a 1:2:3 mix for the
silo. A 1:2:3 mix is a mixture of one
part Portland cement, not more than
two parts coarse, sharp well graded
sand and not more than three parts
of crushed stone or gravel, for silo
or cistern work not over one inch in
diameter. Everything which passes
through a J4-inch screen or wire cloth
can be classed as sand. Both the sand
and gravel must be free from clay,
dirt, vegetable matter or other .for
eign substance. In order to make his
cellar walls or other structures water
tight, the farmer must be v.ery careful
to use clean materials, screen them as
indicated above and when putting
them into the forms, must tamp down
carefully and thoroughly. By spading
up and down along the edges of the
forms, the cement mortar will come to
the surface, making the wall tighter.
Then the mix should not be too dry
or too wet, but should be what con
crete engineers call of' a "quaky" con
sistence, that is, the cement mortar and
water should come readily to the sur
face when it is worked. Farmers
should remember that concrete, prop
erly mixed, is water-tight.
A PERMANENT BASIS.
How County Farm Bureaus Are to
Be Financed in the Future Ap
propriations Made in Fifteen
States Other States to Make Sim
ilar Provision.
National Crop Improvement Service.
It has worried our friends consid
erably to know how the County
Agent movement is to be placed upon
a permanent basis and financed after
the first year. We have always re
plied that when a county had dulv
qualified and had raised its own quota
from individual sources, that the
work should be financed from taxa
tion by county, state and govern
ment funds. Our prophecy in this
regard has come true, and fifteen
states have already passed bills in
support of this County Farm Bureau
proposition, lhese states are, Wis
consin, New York, Minnesota, In
diana, Michigan, Missouri, New Jer
sey, Uhio, Utah, Oregon, Washing'
ton, Vermont, Colorado, Montana
and Idaho. We have been instru
mental in framing some of these
bills. Bills are also pending in Penn
sylvania and Illinois with some pros
pect of success. Some of the states
which have passed no county farm
bills are North Dakota, South Da
kota, Iowa, Nebraska and Kansas
SPECULATION.
The More Active the Market, Usually
the More Steady the Price.
National Crop Improvement Service.!
"Ownership of any commodity im
poses a risk," says Mr, J. C. F. Mer
rill, President of the Council of Grain
Exchanges.
"Many unthinking persons confuse
the word 'speculation' with 'gam
bling;' Every human endeavor has its
elements of chance, of course. The
great grain exchanges of America dis
tribute the surplus grain at a mini
mum expense. Somebody must own
the grain from the time it is harvested
to the time it is consumed. Hence,
the speculator who carries this grain
is a very necessary adjunct. The
farmer wants his money usually as
soon as harvest is over, i,f possible.
The speculator makes it possible for
him to get his money and forego all
risk of fire, rats, weevil, dampness, and
a hundred other things, to say nothing
of the risk of bad roads, lack of cars,
congestion and storage charges. All
of this risk is undertaken for a cor
responding charge. Somebody must
do this work and take this risk. The
farmer is welcome to do so if he
chooses and frequently does. The
middle man could not live unless he
had a service to perform.
