TWENTY-SEVEN OF THE STATES ATTEND CONFERENCE (Farm Bureau Bulletin) Twenty-seven states of the union were represented at Chicago on April 5 at the fruit conference called by President Howard of the American Farm Bureau Federation, at the request of the American Pomological Society and of fruit interests within the Farm Bureau. Nearly every state that produces fruits commercially was represented. Sheridan Baker and R. B. Peters were sent to represent the California Farm Bureau. Mr. Aaron Sapiro represented a number of California fruit associations. To my mind the importance of such a meeting is to bring about closer understanding and co-operation among fruit men from east to west, which can never be done except by their representatives meeting together, each man ready to contribute to the general fund of information the problems and experience of his section, the attempts at solving marketing problems, and the mistakes that have been made which all may profit by. Upon such a foundation, a national fruit policy can be worked out with intelligence, on our great subjects of marketing, standardization and increasing consumption of fruit. The necessity of a tariff on lemons and other fruit suffering from cheaply produced foreign fruit, was represented in detail by R. B. Peters. California will need the support of eastern fruit growers, when this matter comes before congress. The east is not interested in citrus problems, unless through the Farm Bureau, the necessity of protection of citrus is made clear throughout the country. Many speakers gave illuminating discussions of what is being done in co-operative marketing in other states, and that is a great deal more than some of us in California realize. The big warning sounded again and again was against our co-operative associations making long-time contracts with commercial marketing concerns, legislative department, with the understanding of those familiar and in sympathy with the fruit business. If such a department had been in existence this year and had picked out the best legislative bills for the protection of pure fruit juices, and sent them to all legislatures in session this year, through State Farm Bureau Federation, the department would have justified itself a hundred times over, in this one work alone. For, as all fruit men know, one of the things that seriously threatens the fruit business at this moment, is the synthetice fruit juice, made of coloring matter and chemicals, to look like fruit juice, but having no fruit in it whatever. Many other things were suggested which the committee of 21 and the fruit department should take up for the good of the fruit men. Such as work to increase consumption of fruit, indirectly, by better grading and marketing, encouraged by the formation of local co-operative packing units; and directly, by advertising campaigns, similar to that of the California Associated Raisin Company. The idea is to finance this department largely through the growers themselves, only a part of the money to come from the American Farm Bureau Federation. Resolutions were passed looking toward grading laws throughout the country and against local co-operative units signing marketing contracts for over a year at a time with commercial sales agencies. A good deal of opposition seems to exist to the Joint Stock Land Bank, one of the banks provided for by the farm loan act, and this opposition, strangely enough, is coming both from money loaners like insurance companies and at the same time from farmers whom the Joint Stock Bank was supposed to benefit. Promoters of the Joint Stock Bank are at a loss to understand this and have written us to ask why this opposition. We have replied as follows, and believe this is the answer to the apparently inconsistent attitude of farmers on this subject: "We recall no special opposition to the Joint Stock Land Bank in the State Farm Bureau, in fact, there were one or two strong defenders of the bank on the board last year."

Many speakers gave illuminating discussions of what is being done in co-operative marketing in other states, and that is a great deal more than some of us in California realize. The big warning sounded again and again was against our co-operative associations making long-time contracts with commercial marketing concerns, giving the latter the opportunity to juggle with prices and defeat the ends of the co-operative concerns. This thing was reported as having been done in some states with disastrous results. Action was taken along the following lines, which I consider of great importance: First, a request was presented to President Howard of the American Farm Bureau Federation, to appoint a committee of 21 from throughout the United States, to represent as nearly as possible all the fruit interests of the country. This committee is to make recommendations for more uniform marketing system, standardization and publicity after a thorough study of the field. It may be a year before this committee will be able to make a report, but this report should be well worth while. Second, the creation of a fruit department in the National Farm Bureau organization. This department to be headed by a man fully conversant with all matters connected with fruit production and marketing. This department will be organized so as to secure the best interests of all members within the Farm Bureau who produce fruit. When matters of legislation are proposed which affect fruit, such a department will be able to present to our American Farm Bureau executive committee and to its legislative department the views ofruit men on the matters at issue, and to recommend a proper policy for the Promoters of the Joint Stock Bank are at a loss to understand this and have written us to ask why this opposition. We have replied as follows, and believe this is the answer to the apparently inconsistent attitude of farmers on this subject: "We recall no special opposition to the Joint Stock Land Bank in the State Farm Bureau, in fact, there were one or two strong defenders of the bank on the board last year, "But we do think the general feelings exists that the whole farm loan act is endangered largely because of the Joint Stock Bank provision, that part of the act being under strong opposition from the large insurance companies, because of the Joint Stock Bank being allowed to issue tax exempt bonds. "The co-operative feature of the Federal Farm Loan Bank has enabled it to stand on firmer ground. Therefore the opposition that exists around local Farm Bureau organizations is largely due to the feeling that the Joint Stock Land Bank provision will cause the repeal of the whole act, unless it is eliminated. I think that is what the Smoot bill proposed to do. It will have the support of the large money loaners on the one hand and the farmer on the other, who thinks that he is thereby saving the Farm Loan Banks."

As Thunderpaws one Skunk said, they looked it. As Malty Kitten said, they acted it. Malty squirmed along inside of the follow log where all three of them were hiding from the angry birds, and peeked out under Thunderpaw's chin to watch them. The herons soared round and round, looking as big as blankets, with their feet sticking out behind their stubby tail feathers, to steer by, hunting for the fellow who had climbed their nesting tree. (It was Malty-Kitten), and they kept getting more and more discouraged because they couldn't find him. One by one they began to stare their yellow eyes, and hawk their long necks, and gape their sharp beaks after something more interesting. "You keep a-looking!" called one, and he flapped his claws and sailed off toward the other side of the Big Marsh. "You do it," said another, "I'm busy. He sprawled one leg out to catch himself around an extra-short arm, as he flew away." "Look at," unmarked Thunderpaws. "Ow, he's double-jointed!" "Look at yourself." Malty almost leaned out loud when he saw what the greedy thing was picking out of one bulrushes. "A mouse! And we're here starving!" He wasn't really, because he'd eaten the mink's queer fish less than an hour ago, but just the same he felt like it. "You wont starve long," the old rabbit told him. "They're forgetting." Sure enough one after another dropped his tall, skinny legs, and lit in the water. There they stood, half-leg deep, dignified and serious as an owl in the sun, watching for minnows to swim past them. Thunderpaws had another fit of the giggle when one began to fix the long feathers that hang down his neck with a little comb they wear on one claw. How he crooked up his other toes, and what a time he had getting it to suit him—vain thing! Just about then one made a dive into the mucky bottom and brought up a mud-puppy—which isn't a puppy at all, but the ugliest-looking lizard you ever set eyes on. The herons hate them. They began another fuss, dancing and splashing and pecking. "Come on," stamped the wise old bunny. "Let's go quick, while the hen herons aren't looking." Out of the log popped rabbit and skunk and kitten. Sure enough, every nest had a hen heron sitting on it, craning her neck to see what was going on. But not a one turned to see them as they skipped through the reeds, along the bank around a little cump of bushes—and there across the grassy field, was Malty's cabin!

EDITORS BELIEVE ANTI-TOBACCO LAW IS FAR FAR AWAY NEW YORK, May 24.—Statutory prohibition of the use of tobacco by adults is still a long way off if the editors of the country truly interpret public sentiment in their communities. This statement is based on the results of a questionnaire conducted by Edward A Morree of this city for the Tobacco Merchants association of the United States. The questionnaire was sent to nearly 13,000 editors. Replies were received from nearly 63 per cent, representing a total circulation of 22,000,000. Of the 7,847 editors replying 7,393 or 95 per cent declared their communities against tobacco prohibition Only 3 per cent of the remainder found any considerable sentiment favoring such prohibition. The questions asked were: 1. Do you favor the enactment of laws prohibiting the personal use of tobacco by adults? 2. In your judgment does the general sentiment of your community favor such legislation? 3. Is the use of tobacco personally objectionable to you? "In presenting these questions," said Mr. Morse, commenting on the results, "we made no argument pro or con, as we wished unbiased replies. We did not announce the name of the organization we were representing until afterward. The nature of the replies showed that most editors were entirely in the dark as to whom we represented. "Checking up the questionnaire returns with the anti-tobacco legislation of the last year it is interesting to note that the highest percentage of replies reporting sentiment favorable to anti-tobacco laws came from Utah where 42 per cent of the editors thought their public favored such a movement. Utah is the only state to adopt an anti-cigarette law last year and the editors attributed this to the influence of the Mormon church. "In Idaho where the Mormon..." Foley’s Friendly Fancies From the Pasadena Post FOR SOME GOOD There is a likeness close, that Nature draws Through all her creations, through all her laws, In her great Book of Life she subtly weaves The impress of her plan through all the leaves. Earth’s waving trees, her flowers and golden grain Are children of her sunshine and her rain, The fruits of good or ill, that through Man’s years May blossoms, are born of his smiles and tears. Thy years might be all sunshine, as the glow Unending, where the desert’s hot sands blow, No clouds of grief break o’er its length in rain— Thy life a desert Selfishness, and vain. Gaze from the summit back thy life along: Where flowers blow thickest; where the birds’ free song Floats clearest; and the blossoms of the years. Blow purest where once watered them thy tears. There is a likeness close that Nature draws Through all her creations; through all her laws. Grief blends with Joy and clouds o’er cast the sun, The harvest is not gained alone by one. LIFE Is this world then but husk and chaff; a flicker in the gloom; A thing of grave and epitaph and Death its endless bloom? The Ages’ greatness long begone, the like whose light has flown, But carved the crumbling columns on, or graven on a stone? Eternal dust the legacy the Past shall leave to Time? Shall Honor leave but Memory and Love the lute and rhyme? Sees Time the ages flood and flow, no link between no chain Of purpose in their tread ahead, no meaning in their train? Ah, no! Thou must be faithful that some wise, purposeful plan Pervades the planets in their paths: the Destiny of Man. That Reason rules where simple fools cry chance. That accident Guides not afar the falling star but some pure purpose bent.

A regular "O. Henry" incident of this affection of a sound comrade for his crippled brother-in-arms occurred at a little open-air cafe opposite the Gare du Nord. A beggar, with one leg gone below the knee and an empty sleeve tucked into his pocket, was making the rounds of the tables. His face wore that dazed, numb expression of one who has suffered so much that he has become insensible to any vicious-tude of fortune. Three service ribbons were in his lapel buttonhole. One of the guests, an ex-service man, noticed the ribbons and invited him to "have a bock." There was a whispered consultation inside and the waiter tugged the man's coatsleeve and informed him the house "didn't serve beggars." The guest pointed to the cripple's service badges, and retorted indignantly: "Perhaps, then, the house serves its benefactors. This man lost his leg and arm for the proprietor's patrie. The proprietor may have a sense of gratitude!" The proprietor stood pat. Other guests, ex-service men, became interested and soon there was a crowd around the irate customer and the shoulder-shrugging "patron." The beggar weanwhile sat sinfully fingering his crutches. He was so used to this kind of thing that it no longer surprised, hardly even seemed to hurt. Finally another guest at a far table shouted: "Walter, you can serve me, anyway, Bring me a bock." With a flourish he seized the glass from the waiter's hand, strode across and deposited it in front of the beggar. The crowd cheered. The proprietor scowled. The second guest, also an ex-servive man, smiled at the beggar, bowed to the proprietor, and, with that sense of the theatrical, which is one of the charms of the French temperament, raised his own glass to the Memory of the "grand guerre."
