PAGE TWELVE THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM, RICHMOND, INC. WEDNESDAY, NOV. 29, 1922. r COURT OF APPEALS AFFIRMS CONVICTION OF PREBLE FARMER EATON, Ohio. Not. 29. Conrt of appeals has affirmed common pleas court and a squire's court in convic tion of P. O. Boston, Sugar Valley far mer, on a charge of having violated the prohibition laws. He was convict ed about a year ago on a charge of un lawful possession of - intoxicating liquor and a fine . of $1,000 was Im posed, $750 of the fine being suspend ed during good behavior. The case was taken on error to common pleas court and the appellate court. Boston was convicted in Squlr li T. Stephens' court in Eaton. Judge A. C. Risinger passed upon the case in common pleas court and affirmed the squire's court. A raid by officers on Boston's home resulted in his con viction. He paid a fine. A day or two later officers made another raid and found incriminating evidence. Boston contended the "evidence" found in the ppcond raid was overlooked by the officers in the first raid. On this point the appellate court says: "Prior proceeding is not a bar to the present action. The property upon wnich the present action is has ed .was in the plaintiff-in-error's pos session at the time of the present prosecution." Concluding, the court says: "we are. in harmony with the opinion or Judge Rislnger and are therefore, of ojlnion that the Judgment should be affirmed." Judge H. I Fer- neding rendered the opinion. Democratic women of the third con, preesiortal district Preble, Montgom ery and Butler counties will meet Saturday afternoon in Eaton for the purpose of taking action looking to formation of a permanent organiza tion. It is expected temporary officers will be selected, at least, and possibly permanent organization will be ef fected by selecting permanent officerc Important matters will be brought up for discussion.

Great American Poet Promised, Says Roo Poems of American present day noets.and the poets themselves were the Riiblect of Prof. Merrill Root'B lec ture on "Human Values in Contempor- arv American Poetry," given before the Literary department of the Wo man's club Tuesday afternoon at Mor- risson-Reeves library. That this coun try's modern poetry cannot be com nared with England's but that Amer ica gives promise of producing a really great poet was the opinion expressed by Prof. Root. Announcement was made at the meeting by Prof. Harlow Lindley of Earlham college of the lec ture Dec. 12, by Hamlin Garland, nov elist and dramatist. ANOTHER VIEWPOINT A comparatively new publication. known as the County Agent and Farm Bureau, Is a monthly. In the October number we find an editorial so great ly out of line with current expression on co-operative marketing that we give it space as showing the other view point. In its analysis of what is wrong with farming, and the kind of remedies needed, the editor says: "It is a fallacy at the present time to chase after the overworked idea of co-operative marketing as a solution to the Question. We can show as many Instances where co-operative market ing has tended to lower prices as where it has tended to Increase them. "The way to stimulation lies along different channels and that is co-ordin ation and united effort of all interests which profit from agriculture. The trouble with the co-operative Idea- is that it antagonizes a large army of dis tributors, many of whom are perfectly legitimate, but who are placed in a class with the illegitimate. Naturally these concerns, fearing the destruction of their business, are fighting back. Instead of getting back of the situa tion and giving it their united help, they have a tendency to throw ob stacles in the way of the co-operative movement in order that It will fail and their own business continue to exist." Without being controversial or at tempting to give our own views in the premises we must admit that the ed itorial quoted at least provides food for thought AH the business of the world can not yet be handled on a co operative basis, not even all the busi ness pertaining to agriculture, but undeniably, much of it can, and will be. There are numerous outstanding examples of the benefits of co-opera ! tive shipping and selling, so many of them indeed, that a whole page of thi3 paper would only provide space to hint at all of them. The Cranberry Growers . So far as we are aware America is the only country where cranberries are grown and here - only in- three states: Massachusetts, New Jersey and Wisconsin. There is now a t"""- tral selling organization for all cran berry growers. Formerly individual cash buyers toured the cranberry sec tions and bid what they cared to, which frequently, was below the cost of production and handling. This con dition was prevalent up to the year 1906, when steps were taken to get together and present a' solid front. That year less than 400,000 barrels were grown in the three belts and these were mostly bought at a loss to growers and sold at big prices and good profits to consumers, the middle man then having it all his own way. Wisconsin organized the first sales company. This was in 1906. A year later separate exchanges were organ ized in New Jersey and Massachusetts and shortly after the American Cran berry Exchange was- organized and now does the cranberry selling busi ness of the world. As a result cran berry growing has become profitable. Nor can we see that the public has been held up. Prices reasonable to consumers as witness the quart or pound figures quoted by your grocer for that Thanksgiving and Christmas delicacy. Thus encouraged the cran berry farmers have increased produc tion to around 600,000 barrels, every barrel of which 13 in demand at a fair profit to the producer. Lacking co-operation the cranberry business was going -rapidly on the rocks. Through co-operation the in SOLON'S DAUGHTER READY FOR DEBUT dustry was sated, not merely to the prosperity of the growers but to the benefit of the whole country and to the delectation of all the lovers of 'cran berry sauce." Fruit and Truck Marketing The Federated Fruit Growers ere just getting into action In a broad way. Organized by the American farm bureau as the outcome of the labors of the committee of 21, it will take hold in earnest the first week in Jan uary. W e are now to have a new fruit and truck marketing plan in the hands of men who are trained in the busi ness. The gigantic marketing service of the North American Fruit Ex change, which has been successfully handling fruits and vegetables for co operative bodies for nearly 12 years, will now swing into line and every grower that desires may take advan tage of its protection and experience during the coming year, through th local growers' associations. The grad ing and packing is properly supervised and the selling organization takes care of the market end of the busi ness, and this to the general welfare of all producers, according to their lines and seasons. An Outpouring of Cattle. The receipts of cattle at the seven principal markets in October totalled 1,476,3S8 head. These markets were: Chicago, Kansas Caty, Omaha, - St Paul, St Joseph, Sioux City and St. Louis. This showed an increase of 365,277 over that of October 1921. Receipts for the first ten months of 1922 were 8,976,384, a gain of 1.375,105 over the same period of 1921, Chicago handled 2,552,278; Kansas City, 1,991,- 721; Omaha, ,468,756 and St Louis, 1,125,482. Every market recorded a substantial increase, Chicago gaining 247,295; Kansas City, 249,227; Omaha, 223,181; St Louis, 256,322, and St Paul 260,227. . In an analysis of these figures we find that the increase represents liqui dation and turnover. Adverse finan cial and weather conditions led to the unloading of cattle from the Rio Grande to the Canadian line, drought in the southwest especially in New Mexico, having caused premature mar keting, while other thousands of cat tle were shipped here and " yon in search of food and water. Many of these cattle have left one market, on ly to reappear in another after a short feed, so that they have been counted twice, this making the Increase more apparent than real. There are no indications .at Wash ington that there will be any undue haste in permitting the Armour-Morris-Wilson merger. Putting Bees to Bed. In every section where bees are kept apiarists differ in their opinions as to when bees should be put to bed in the cellar. "If the last flight is used as the signal," says one keeper, "it is not always safe to leave them out doors until after Thanksgiving. This year the weather has made it possible for the bees to live out doors much later than usual. "During the last decade bees have been able to take flight two or three times in the Chicago district, after the It v V ' 1 Miss Leah Crago. The season of "22 and "23 prom ises a crop of unusually pretty debs in - Washington society. Amoiu ' these i Miss Leah Crago, daughter , of Congressman Thomas S. Crago and Mrs. Crago of Pennsylvania. first of December. But this is by no means1 the rule." What applies to Chicago territory comes pretty near to being true in Wayne county. The recent light snow storm was the sig nal to many who now have their bees snugly housed and we feel that the time - for complete protection or the storing of hives in warm winter quar ters is here. Bees are too valdable to be allowed to freeze, to say noth ing of the humane angle of the matter. ' National Wheat Week A Paris cable informs us that the French people and colonists are to have a national wheat week, January 22 to 28. " This has been arranged by the government in an effort to free France from dependence for bread and also to: develoD wheat erowine in the colonies by encouraging them to grow bread stuffs enough for home use and ; to help feed the mother country. Five commissions will hold meetings j at which will be outlined the best methods of selecting seed and of in tensive farming, so as to get more and better flour by these means as 'well ' as through improved milling. How to get the most out of flour in all its uses also will be taught Each angle of the subject will be dealt with in the greater detail by the best French experts. Afterward means will be studied of putting this collec tive knowledge to work through legis lation, educational propaganda in the industries affected and patriotic ap peals to the people. Mr. Baruch's Views. Bernard M. Baruch has been inces santly at work during the past three years trying to get eastern bankers and business men to appreciate the farmer's needs. In the west the tar k has not been so difficult and a number of prominent bankers and manufac turers have taken decided stands in favor of helping agriculturists out of the hole into which deflation plunged them. "The farmers are now taking the bit in their teeth." said Mr. Baruch, in a recent interview, "and for my part, I have seen nothing so far in what their leaders in the house and senate are advocating and desire put into legislation to which any fair-minded man can object "An examination into the facts will justify a change in the system of credits and a change in the system of marketing the farmer's produce The farm bloc, headed by Senator Cap per, is advocating the passage of a bill in the present congress providing for increased credits, the more orderly marketing of farm products, the en couragement of the cattle raising in dustry and for general productive ef forts, which is certainly worthy of passage. "The program before the present congress Is . a constructive one. A movement to improve the condition of 40 per cent of the population will certainly benefit the other 60 per cent as well." It is very easy to find fault or to pull down but to rebuild is another matter. If there ever was a time when we needed constructive legisla tion that time is right now. Nor Is it a question for radical agitation ana settlement nor the play of partisan politics, but for the use of discretion and common sense, not merely at Washington, but in all the state legis latures so shortly to convene.
