Marketing or all farm products
through cooperative organizations
of each commodity and supplying the
centers, of manufacture and present
distribution with one-twelfth of a
commodity at a time to prevent glut
ting tho market, is the comprehen
sive marketing plan of the American
Farm Bureau Federation as announc
ed by its president, James R.. Ho
ward, familiarly called "Jim" bv
i his acquaintances and even his farm
hands. ,
"In the past the farmers of Amer
ica marketed individually and con
fined themselves to trading among
themselves. They gave no thought
of laws of supply and demand and
took what was offered for their pro
ducts. "In many sections this is still the
case, but a change is coming because
the world ,war ty,ught the farmer
that he must begin to function in re
lation to the whole world.
"Tho American Farm Bureau Fed
eration has for its biggest job the
placing of agriculture in its proper re
lationship to other industries. Its
relationship is not proper at present,
but this will be corrected.
"Under present economic condi
tions the producer of wheat must sell
his grain direct from the thresher and
the cotton grower must sell his cot
ton direct from the gin because
neither i3 provided with adequate
storage facilities. Dumping any
commodity upon the market means
lowering the price then and there.
"It is our aim to correct these ills.
We are gaining jn strength daily
and hope to be able to have a voice
in shaping important legislation,
both national and state. '

action in those things which the

of 1915 proved a blessing In disguise
for the British armies. The locusts
ravaged the country from the borders
of Egypt to the Taurus mountains,
consuming every green thing. Vege
tables and fruit disappeared as If by
magic.
The shortage of all kinds of fodder
was a most serious matter and great
ly operated against the movement of
tho Turkish forces on the Egyptian
fronts. When the locusts were first
seen In Jerusalem, attention was
drawn to them by the sudden darken
ing of the bright sunshine. The de

enormous, more especially as the Gar
den of Gethsemnne was stripped.

Careful scientist tests have proven,
however, that this light Is produced
with about one four hundredths part
of the energy which Is expended In the

HEROES OF MIDDLE AGES
Stories of Their Great Size and Enor

Exaggerated.
Thyslologlsts, after having measured
hundreds of skeletons, testify that the
men of our own time average from one
to two centimeters taller than the men
of the middle ages according, to a wri
ter in the New York Evening Post. We
possess their armor, and we do not
only appear to have grown taller as a
race since the time when the armor
was made, but our shoulders could
never fit Inside the steel . corselets of
our medieval forefathers.
In France, the superintendent of the
museums under the second empire,
wishing to put on the armor of Francis
I, the lurgest suit of all in the museum
of artillery, was unable to do so. It
was too small for him, although he was
in no sense a giant. .
Some years ago in Switzerland, on
the occasion of a gymnastic tourna
ment, the young men wishing to close
the festivities by a procession with
historic costumes, borrowed the arms
and armor of the arsenal. But the
young men were unable to get into it

of those historic warriors we have no

When alfalfa clover cannot be
made into a. good hay it may be made
into good silage. Alfalfa is best
cut when about one-third in bloom,
and allowed to dry out four to six
hours in the field. If the moisture
content is too high the silage will
be of poor grade. Dairy, O. A. C.
Clover seeded at this late date is
very likely to be frozen out before
spring as it does not get sufficiently
