HOW MY MACHINE WORKS
The big drum of my separator is lined with canton flannel. Canton flannel is soft and anything with whis
kers on it sticks to it. If yon don't know what canton flannel is like, ask your wife. Or turn one of your
"canvas gloves" Inside oat All varieties of wild
oats have whiskers. These whiskers stick to the
canton flannel lining.of my separator and are carried to the top of the
dram, where two wires scrape them off In a chute that carries them
into a box at the side of the machine. Tame oats and tame grain do
not have any whiskers ao they do not stick to the canton flannel, but
remain at the bottom of the machine. The canton flannel lining that
goes with even Holland Wild Oats Separator Is tood for separating 2,000
frjahels of grain. After IOU have run 2,000 bushels through the machine,
ga cim^buy^ajMW,lining from me for only (2.00 and you are ready

tee on agriculture asked
the department of agri
culture for statistics on
farm costs for the vari-.
ous crops recently, Secre­
tary Houston declared that no re
liable material had been gathered.
This statement surprised many be
cause the department had been asked
to gather the information and it was
supposed that a staff of experts were
at work on it. As a matter of fact the
experts had been at work, hampered
by the. secretary of agriculture. Re

How Farm Cost Studies Were Held Up
Recent Excuse Given by Secretary of Agriculture Riddled
by Man in Charge of Work
man, was dismissed.
As brought out previously 11k the
Leader, accurate cost studies woulqkj)e
a most powerful argument for reform
in favor of the farmers, and this fact
probably explains the reluctance of the
department of agriculture to "find"
them. The following excerpts from a
letter by Mr. Spillman to the senate
committee on agriculture throws a
good deal of light on the situation:
"The latter part of August I was
asked to appear before your commit
tee and give such information as I pos
sessed relating to the cost of wheat
and beef, which I did.
"On November 7 the secretary of
agriculture addressed a letter to the
president of the senate, in answer to
senate Resolution No. 310, in which he
stated that the investigations on cost
of production conducted by the office
of farm management, of which I was
chief until August 31 of this year, did
not give results that were trustworthy,
and at the same time criticized the
methods used in these investigations.
In the interests of the farmers of this $
country I beg leave to present to your.:
committee the facts about the methods
used so that~you may be in position to
judge ^whether the results presented
by me are dependable.
HOW SECRETARY
HANDLED MATTER
"Plans were made to carry out a
very complete study on the- following
crops: Corn, wheat, oats, barley, rice,
beans, sugar beets, grain sorghums,
potatoes, cotton, apples and hay and
for livestock, on beef cattle, sheep and
hogs. Co-operation was solicited from
the bureau of animal industry in the
livestock studies and from various of
fices in the. bureau of plant industry
in the crop studies, since much previ
ous work had been conducted along
these lines with these bureaus. Plans
were finally completed for sending a
number of men to the field to. gather
data, but when letters of authorization
were requested the secretary of agri
culture refused to grant them.
"I sent a memorandum to the secre
tary reminding him that these data
had been called for by the federal
trade commission, but received no re
ply. This, if my memory serves me
right, was in the month of October.
"Nothing more was done about
furnishing, the reports to the federal
trade commission till the middle 4f
January, 19^8, when a telegram was
received from the president of the
American National Livestock associa
tion, then "in session at Salt Lakg City,
asking the secretary as to the status
of the work on cost of producing beef.
This reopened the subject, and ishortly
thereafter authority was granted to
resume the investigations in which the
federal trade commission was inter
ested. Because of weather conditions
it was not practicable to undertake
field studies until the spring of 1918.
"It is easily comprehensible that
economists and statisticians who have
made no special study of farm practice
might not. understand the reliability of
results presented in a way new to
them. This would especially be the
case withmen who were anxious to
prevent the farmers from getting any
"benefit from the results in question.
The chief complaint of the farmers
about the work of certain bureaus of
the department has been that the men
who did their investigational work do
not know farm practice and'jfarm con
ditions, and I took particular pains to
see that no such charge could be
brought against the men who did this
piece of work. In fact, my policy
while chief of the office of farm itaari
agement was to have a corps- of team
ed men thoroughly, .experienced in the
