HEAD OF A NEW DEPARTMENT
C(harlis J. Brand, chief of the newly
created division of markets under the
agricultural department's new rural
'organization service, las the job of
attempting to better market condi
tion:s, and thereby reduce the cost of
living. his work will be educational
an:d he will endeavor to create a high
standard in packing and shipping food
products to prevent waste. Co-opera
tive markets for the producers will
,,be tried and everything will be done
to better the quality of the produce
) and to make its cost lower by estab
lishing a standard method of market
ing.
The possibilities of the plan are
large and will involve questions of
highway and railroad transportation.
It is understood that country commu
nities will be urged to co-operate as
largely as they can in selling their
products. It is understood the plan
is ultimately to go further afield than
marketing, for the development of the
agricultural community is interlaced with the social development of the com
munity in such a way that the officials think that one cannot be considered
without considering the other.
The department, so the officials say. does not want to go too deeply into
the problems of the individual farm family, but wants to encourage the com
munities so far as possible to develop themselves. They do not want to do
,.anything for the farmers officially that can be done by the farmers them
selves. At the same time the aim of the division will be to discover and work
out effective methods of community development.
One problem will be to discover the natural boundaries which mark an
individual community and urge the members in that circle to trade and
exchange products among themselves when that is feasible, and to cocoper
ate effectively when buying and selling outside. It has been found by observa
tion that great economies can be effected in many communities by co-opera
tive buying as well as selling.
Mr. Brand was born in Minnesota in 1879, is a graduate of the university
of that state and is by profession a botanist and agriculturist.
L PROTECTOR OF AMERICAN BIRDS
Dr. William T. Hornaday, director
of the New York Zoological park. ap
peared in Washington a few days
ag before the senate committee to "
ask the congress of the United States
to stop the activities of the American
people in the extermination of birds
for millinery purposes.
On the day of his return to this city
he told the writer that fully 100 spe
ies. of the most beautiful and curious
birds of the world are now being ex
terminated to meet the demands for t
plumes, feathers and skins to use on
women's hats. .
He called attention to such salient
bets as these:
The number of wild birds annually
espaumed by the feather trade Is so
eosrmons as to challenge the imagi
The whole world is under tribute.
No species is spared for sentimental
reasons.
And the most beautiful and most
a-pus species arq the ones in the greatest danger of extermination.
For instance, the exquisite birds of paradise are being externilnated lter
ally before our eyes, and the extermination of a species is a crime. The
eamter and lesser birds of paradise and the Jobi bird of paradise are now
aearly extlact.
The beautiful quetsal of Guatemala cannot be obtained alive at any price.
The scarlet Ibis, roseate spoonbill. Carolina parakeet and flamingo are now
- hrever gone from the bird fauna of the United States-thanks, says Dr.
S Hrnaday, to the feather hunters.

youth wrapped up heart and soul in

This is a rate of almost $4 a bottle

The values of wine bring to mind
