Washington, Sept. 8.? The idea of a natiouar corporation
either Government controlled or the development of a co
operative plnnto take enre "of the cxportjjjle sttirphts of Am
iTlraii farm products may get into concrete lorm as a con
-i'i(Ucnce of the discussion of agricultural needs during the
Presidential campaign.
I John \V. Davis' speech in
Omaha amplifying the Dem
ocratic national platform 011
the subject of an export com
mission or corporation docs
not reveal whether the nom
inee is willing to endorse the
McNary-Ilaugen bill which
taused so much controversy
at the last session of Con
gress, but both Mr. Davis and
Mr. LaFollette are declaring
themselves for the principle
of unified control of export;
so as to eiuible the farmer to
" jrct" brtter TiTfoes " tor "hts
wares.
Now tlinl it Is apparent that the
farmer is getting higher returns,
due to tin* favorable weather here
as coni rasted with short produc
tlon iii foreign countries. the din
satisfaction of the farmer is to
pome extent appeased but it does
not prev? nt the candidate!* who
are after tin' farm vote from
pointing out what seem to them
way a and means of getting even
better price*. ? ?
In oilier words, the debate ov
er the method by which the ex
portable surplus shall be handled
has not ended. Mr. Davia in his
Omaha speech did not take ex
r actly the Mine ground that Gov
ernor P.ryan of Nebraska did be
fore he was a nominee for the
Vice Presidency but he came close
enough to indicate that the inilu
?v/' of the Nryan family which
li?4tfCd write the idea Into the
Democratic national platform is
still dominant on agricultural
questions and from now on the
advice received from the Vice
Presidential nominee may be seen
running through the speeches of
the Democratic nominee for the
Presidency.
Mr. Davis could not very well
dismiss the Democratic platform's
pronouncement for an export cor
poration but If he were against
the idea at heart he need not have
dwelt on the subject in his Oma
ha speech. He has come to the
conclusion no doubt that the West
is vitally Interested In ? in ? ex|?orl
problem and that he Is expected
to say something definite as to his
policy on this matter*
Governor Ilryan came out for
the McNary-Haugen bill or
"something like It" before the
Madison Square Garden conven
tion. Critics of the McNary-Hau
gen bill have been demolishing
that proposal but they have not
always offered an alternative. The
West does .not want an alterna
tive. Mr. 1-aKollette has not ex
plained in detail his solution. Mr.
Davis has gone further than Pres
ident Coolldge. but to get up real
Interest on the Issue he will have
to give a bill of specifications as
to how the export corporation
will actually function.
President Coolldge has said
, that be wants an Inquiry begun
I to determine the best kind of an
organization to set up. He prob
ably will appoint such a hoard
before the campaign Is over. Ite
_ fori* that body will come many
schemes no doubt for agricultural
relief. Mr. Davis ban said thai
Congress began investigating 'A
years ago but has taken no action.
During the last session of Con
gress. all korts of proposals were
made but no action was taken.
1*111 after bill either was defeated
or side tracked in the legislative
Jam.
The chance of arousing the
West on agricultural questions
j ow lies wholly In the kind of so
lution proposed by each candidate
should there be a recurrence of
conditions which In the last two
years have wrought the Brook
hart*, Norrlses. Magnus John
sona and other western radical to
tie- height of their power. The
simple rise In farm prices may
hold many votes in line nOw but
they will not still the cry after
flection for something definite to
idtf k' t the farmer's crop.
11 y the time John W. Davis gets
through with the West he may
discover that a detailed agricul
tural program Is de'slred and soim
pledge'thal It will be carried Into
effect. Ix>w freight rates tskes
In one phase of the problem of de
creased costs and sn export cor

the domestic price of wheat to ns

export price. These questions are
of sufficient Importance to turn
the (Ids In any campaign. Both

who are instructed to "bring
home the bacon" during the re
mainder of this year probably wiU
have to dig deeper lnt?? their
pockets for it than they did last
I fall. Hog prices are up .sharply
and this Is tnk? n as indirat lug
that the record hreakinu receipt*
of 1 f? 2 :5 and the first half of 1021
are at an end. Shipments to mar
ket from no* until New Years
are expected to In? much lighter
than In 1 f ? 2 H .
It was inevitable that the four
record breaking crops from 1020
I to 15)23 inclusive would be re
| fleeted in an enormous increase In
J the output of pork since hogs fiir- 1
nlshcd the most pcyfltahb- method'
for marketing corn. If has become
evident, however, that hog pro
duction has caught and passed
corn production and the raising of
hogs Is on the decrease. This be
came apparent with the pig crop
of last fall, which was about sev
,cn per cent <?nder that of the pre
rc'dlrVK year. The report of the
rural mail carrier survey showed
the sprint; pig crop fell off about
20 per Cent.
Since marketings for any year
are limited ehb fly by the. size of
the pig crops of the preCeedlng
spring and Tall, the outlook for
the next 12 months points to
much smaller receipts at markets
than have been shipped In the last
12 months. Some experts tlx this
decrease as high as 20 per cent.
With the corn crop showing ?'<
decrease and the pig crop lower,
the proportion of corn to hogs in
the n<'\t annual period seemingly
would be about the same as last
year were It not for the amount
of soft corn likely to result from
late plantings and unfavorable
weather durltm the growing sea
son. i
Soft corn does not pill fat. on
hogs like hard corn and there
fore a very considerable reduction
In the average weight of hogs
marketed would not be surpris
ing. Higher prices are forecast
for pork by meat expert* but they
are hot so certain, they say. that
this will result in n higher gross
Income from the sale of hogs.
One expert estimates gross re
ceipts for hogs "from July 1024 to
July 102S at $*75,000,000. The
receipts for the year ending July
1024 were $#fiO,OflPO.OOO or an In
crease of two per cent to the
farmer.
When It eomos to cattle and
sheep and the prices which must
be paid for the sirloin steak and
Hit* succulent lamb chop, many
of I H?? price factors arc conflict
ing. Tliere Have been persistent
minora that many herds from tliv
range country will be forced on
flu* market but this Ih not sup
ported by Oovornment flKiirrs on
It vent or k population on the ranch
en or bv aasessora' report! and
dipping records. Severe drought
lias affected some Western rann' -'
and the certainty of high feed
prices m \l winter may cause li
quidation from these areas.
In other sections, pasture con
ditions ar?? very favorable and
Toxaa in well stocked with young
Ht ii it, M'.it men, hdwnvcr, ex
press tin- belief about tin- name
number of cattle will arrive at
stork yards In thr* next year as in
the last. Th?* amount of soft
corn may enrourage feeding this
full hut the advance In grain
prices nnd bnrrpuncw of some
range* will probably reduce thr
demand for storkrrs and feeders
which In turn will make Finallcr
the nu in ht r of well fattened cat
1TTT
Thr natural reflection from this
would be higher prices for choice
cuts and the higher pTleis and
smaller supplies of pork would
tend to increase thr demand for
the eomtiionrr grades. Thrrr is
no threat of overproduction In the
sheep Industry although high
lamb prices have prevailed since
1f?22. Hut fully as many lambs
may bo expected on t l??t# market
In thr next 12 months as wer*
rrcelvt'd in I'm past year. Tliere,
Is an artiv demand for breeding
stock developing among corn belt
farmers and this will tend to ben
cflt. Western sheep men with a
surplu* of ewe*.
In general. It. is thr conclusion
that the meat situation for thr
coming year will br moderately
encouraging for thr product rs but
thf reduced poundage marketed
and the higher level of prie s may
be expected to have an e#|iially
strong effect on the consumers'
pocket book but In thr opposite di

;?<w York, Sept. 9. Several
myaterious nocturnal ubnencea on
the part ?f the Prince of Wale*
lately have led to (lit- suspicion
in aome of our bent Long Island

llritlMli throne may have been
studying nurreptltloualy the Am
erican view of the relative Im
portance of k In kh mid queens
to nay nothing of Jacks and ten
|?Ot H .
The prince may have felt that It
would he J tint um well for him to
know how a king Mauds In what
may he called a pure Democracy.
If ho he iiiuat be convinced by thin
(Ine that a lone king doesn't
ii moil lit to much unleas he hap
peiin to partake of the nature of a
royal fluah. or unless he chances
1 o help make things ''atralght."
Moat Americana prefer their
k Ijil:s In pairs or Irion. Some have
l?f ??>?! known to welcome them
most heartily when, like angels' |
vlwtlM, 1 1 ? ? ? v liav.? arrived four ftl ft
time. ,
It waa reported with all the
trimmings of verisimilitude before
tie- prlnee arrived In thla country
for a fortnight'* holiday that he
had expreaaed a denlre to "alt In"
at a r?*al poker game. Poker la,
not unknown in Kngland. An a
matter of fact when an Kngllah
man once It-arna poker It in ex
, treniely difficult to break hlin of
ttie habit. AIno It la reliably re
ported that poker la nnt an en-'
tire stranger to the Weatern pro
vlncea of Canada, where Ilea the
prince's own wild weatern ranch.
I'erhapa the prince had a touch
of poker during hln lant vlnlt to
the ranch. I'erhapa that wan
why lie wanted to pollali up a bit
on hla game here in the Kant be
fore go|,rig back to the ranch.
Iti any event, the prince haa
li< ? n ratio i mysterious about hla
poker Intention*. When nome of
the newspaper men who Aral *re.?
ted him asked "how come." tli4
prince In the lieat vernacular of
the day replied out of the corner
of hla mouth.
"f'ut that out."
HI nee then, of courae. the sub- 1
J. (f haa been tabooed ? but thera
f i" a lot of boy* down LOSt la- '
land way who would be
junt crazy to nhow the prince
som<* of th" Intricacies of the
game and to school him a hit In
the gentle art of bluffing. Mont
I 'nullah men have good poker fa
cea. The prince haa not. He la '
quick to ahow excitement, either!
i plcuaurable or uunoylug, aud
looks for all t >!?? world a* If tic
would bo an cany mark ut our
natloual Indoor game. So If the
"boya" have sought a few pounds
and ponce from the? royal visitor
via tho old round tabic They pro
bably have Kot them.
Hpeaklng of souvenirs there Is
to be a princely chance to get one
when David Windsor's polo ponicn
arc auctioned off at the end of
the month. They are to go on the
block with the mountH brought
over by the Kngllnh polo teain for
, t ho international matrhcH at Mch
dowbrook. Nine ponies w?-re
brought ov??r for the prince to use
during hla two weeks on Long la
land and scarcely n day ban gone
by that lie lias not bad a leg up
and been charting the willow
sphere down the gruH*y fields.
The prince's ponies represent an
Invcatment of nearly $20,000
Thi? will give aoino inkling of
th?' co tt of following i h?- royal
time of Indts. Ttre prince nr wTn?r
might bo called a "scrub" player,
Judged from the form of the men
who take part In the international
matches. And, after all polo la
but an Incident. Yet a very mo
dest string of ponies has coat him
120,000 and the maintenance of
auch an outfit amount to probably
$10,000 a y*ar. To the men who
play polo most of tin- year round,
the cost of the game has been es
timated as high as $f>0,000 a
year
ft Is small wonder that Mrs.
Morgan Hclmont, daughter-in-law
of August Belmont, has decided to
go to work In a department store
this winter so that her husband,
who loves polo abovi- most every
thing e|*c in th?< world, can con
tinue to ploy the game.
The prince, by the way, Is hav
Ing his last fling at polo for some
time to com". The playing season
will be over when he returns to
England and next y?-ar the young
globe trotter Is going on the tour
of the world
Therefore, althom;fe he does
not ne?'d the money. n?* has de
termined to sell his ponhs rather
than ship them back to th?- old
country and keep them In idleness '
for another year and half.
I'nless all signs fall, the prince
Is likely to reap a handsome prof
it on his Inveatment. for nearly
every polo man who has eater
talned him down Long Island way -
would be delighted to have on?'
of the prince's ponies for a keep
sake If not for a mount.
