Long News Made Short 
T HE papers still contain long discus¬ 
sions on the wheat situation. Great 
pressure has been brought by repre¬ 
sentatives from the Western States 
upon President Coolidge to call an ex 
tra session of Congress to devise ways 
and means of helping the wheat grow¬ 
ers. As the President cannot see how 
Congress could help the situation, were 
he to call it, he has announced that 
an extra session will not be convened 
at the present time.

Conditions in Europe are getting 
worse constantly. The great unrest 
and dissatisfaction in Germany have 
forced the Prime Minister or Chancellor 
Cuno, to resign, with his entire cabi¬ 
net, and Chancellor Stresemann ‘ has 
been appointed in his place. Misun¬ 
derstanding is continually increasing 
between England and France as to the 
policy of forcing Germany to pay the 
reparations. Newspapers report that 
there is now grave danger of a com¬ 
plete German smash with consequent 
ruin and chaos in most of Central 
Europe.

The present agreement between the 
anthracite coal miners and the operators 
of the mines ceases cn September 1. 
For weeks representatives of' each side 
have been try ng to make a new agree¬ 
ment, but so far without result. The 
Government' is taking an active hand in 
trying to bring about an understand¬ 
ing and there are indications that if 
such understanding cannot be reached 
the Government may interfere to pre¬ 
vent a strike. In the meantime, the 
safe policy is to get your winter’s coal 
into the cellar, if you possibly can.

Poultry culling demonstrations are 
now going on in hundreds of farm com¬ 
munities. This is the time of year 
when it is easy to tell the slacker hen, 
whose board bill keeps down the profit 
in poultry. Your F- Bureau agent 
will, on request, be glad to tell you 
how to cull cut the unprofitable hen. 
Some of the point’s to look for are given 
on page 135 of this issue.

Among the very effective State laws 
passed at the recent legislative session 
was one by the State of Pennsylvania 
requiring that condensed skimmed milk 
when sold in hermetically sealed cans 
or receptacles must be in cans holding- 
five pounds or more, properly labeled 
with the name of the contents and a 
caution that this commodity is “unfit 
for infants.” This is a supplement 
to the Jones’ Filled Milk Lav/ passed 
by the Pennsylvania Legislature. The 
Illinois Legislature passed the filled 
milk and truthful advertising laws in 
its closing days. This law niakes it 
difficult to sell condensed skimmed milk 
to consumers who think they are buy¬ 
ing the real article.

As the time for the World’s Dairy 
Congress and National Dairy Show ap¬ 
proaches, preparations are increasing 
for making this session the greatest 
gathering of dairy interests that the 
world has ever seen. The exposition 
is to be held at Syracuse October 5-13. 
"> housands of dairymen throughout the 
East are planning to visit this 
exposition.

The New Jersey State College of 
Agriculture is advising New Jersey 
dairymen to lay in their fall and win¬ 
ter supply of dairy and poultry feeds 
at the present time. The statement 
says: “In the late' summer and early 
fall the feed market is usually dull 
and feeds can be bought at the lowest 
figure of any time during .the year.” 
Most sections of the East will re¬ 
member the season of 1923 as one of 
the driest on record. (This statement 
refers to the weather, not to prohibi-' 
tion.) Nearly all.crops have been seri¬ 
ously hurt, but the effects of the 
drought in Southern New York, New 
Jersey, and Long- Island have been the 
worst. The potato crop of Long Island 
has been greatly injured.

A recent statement, by the United 
States Department of Agriculture 
says: “Farm sentiment is mixed, with 
the South and East in a better frame 
of mind than the Corn Belt. The 
Wheat Beit is the sore spot.”
