BENJAMIN p. Birdsall of the Third dis

on the railroad rate problem. After
reviewing the railroad situation ana
considering both sides of the question,
he closed by saying. II do not believe

to it. because believe 1t will abuse 1T

giving the interstate commerce COM
mission power to- make rates.
"The present movement is not of
agrarian birth 1t is not born of hostility
to railways, but Of the conviction
among business men that existing con-
ditions should be remedied. 1t is time
to act, for the people have been asking
for relief for seven years. II the rail
ways will not conduct rate making
along grounds that are equitable and
fair to all communities, 1t is time the
people exercised some supervision over

are too often neglected.

A STUDY in RUsTs.
Professor Smith Of Aberdeen Tells Of
the Varieties.


Aberdeen, S. D.. July 2s.-Professor
Fred w. Smith, instructor of science
in the Northern Normal and Industrial
school, has made a mfcroscopica1 ex-
animation of the rust on wheat and has
issued the following report:
"a microscopical examination of the
rust which is now affecting the wheat
shows that it is Of two kinds-the So
called brown rust and the golden rust.
Under the microscope the spores of the
two species are easily differentiated.
The brown spore of the brown rust is
eliptical in shape while that of the
golden rust is spherical. The black rust
stage of the golden rust is much more
blunted on the end and it's cells have
different arrangement from those of the
brown rust. The two species cannot be
told apart except by the use of very
powerful microscope.
can examination of several fields
shows that there are about equal
quantities of the two species growing
ON the wheat now. The spores of the
black rust stage of brown rust are not
fully matured AS compared with the
amount of black rust of last year, as
shown by comparison with the straw
saved over, there is not one hundredsh
as much on the grain at the present
time. The presence of the golden rust
ON the grain should not be viewed with
alarm as it is comparatively harmless

OATS CROP is GOOD.
Rains, However, Are Making the
Farmers Uneasy.

Special to Times Republican.
Montezurna, July 2S.-The recent
light rains are making the farmers
uneasy. The oats are mostly harvest
ed, but not all. The crop is excep-
tionally good and some pieces are go
ing down while the wet weather is
keeping the harvester out of the field.
The barley crop is fine and all har-
vested, some of it is threshed. one
machine has been running four days
near town. 1t is said that thirty bush
les per acre is good yield of barley,
but one piece has been threshed near
town that made fraction over forty
two bushels Hay is not as badly dam
aged by the wet weather as many I'M
agined. The great trouble farmers
are experiencing is in getting the nee
essary help. The large amount of
building going on in town utilities
much Of the supply of la'borers and the
present wage scale is two dollars per
day for common labor and for farm
work the board has to be added.

How Wheat in Otter Tail Looks to an
Expert.
Fergus Falls, Mimi, July 2S.-George
l.. Nichols returned from a tour of in
spection Of the grain fields yesterday,
and summarizes his observations as
follows:
"The head and stem of the wheat in
this vicinity is clean and healthy. The
leaf has a burned or scalded appear
ance, and is drying up from root to
head. If the leaf is drawn across
white cloth it leaves trace of red.
There is not particle Of black or
stem rust to be found on any of the
wheat have examined. Just what
the effect the drying UP of the leaves
will have / cannot say. believe
however, 1t will have a tendency to
fastening the maturing of the crop and
possibly will shrink the berry. If we
should have unfavorable weather In
the next week or two, l think the bare
stem will better resist rust than it
would with the mass of green leaf.
find that the stem and leaf of the
durum wheat, which is presumably
rust proof, is in the same condition as
the blue stem. While no one can yet
be certain of the outcome. the present
outlook is for a. good crop. All we
need is a continuation of just such
weather as we are having now"

There Was a Good Demand For
Good Grades and Export Cat
tie at Strong Prices
OTHER KINDS RATHER SLOW
stocker and Feeder Trade Was Only
Fair, While Butcher Stock Was
Hisher-Hos Trade Was Slower
Than Usual With Prices to 10
Cents Lower.

Chicago, July 2S.-There was very
good demand for good fat class OF
shipping and export cattle at strong
prices, but less desirable offerings
moved off slowly at barely steady
prices. Stockers and feeders trade was
only fair. Butcher stock was higher.
Packers claim continued poor de-
mand for beef has prevented very ac-
tive operations and the establishment
of higher prices for these classes. even
though total receipts in the first four
days this week have shown decrease
of LILO in comparison with the arriv-
ais a week ago.
The same plea of loaded coolers, as
was heard a week ago is packers first
argument, and while the shippers have
taken good to choice handyweight
steers fairly readily this week. their
slim competition in trade for palmer
kinds has allowed packers an all
most clear field in that line.
Exporters complain that low foreign
prices and scarcity OF ocean steam
ship space prevents them competing
very strongly in the trade, and with
these adverse conditions ruling the
market for bulk of the offerings there
Is little hope of much Improvement In
values in the near future, and traders
are urging very moderate marketing
here at the start next week.
Hogs.
Trade was slower than usual and
prices SOLO lower; the greater part
going off at 1910.
Packers are suspicious of spread
of the yellow fever epidemic and are
reluctant to load UP with short ribs
and mess pork, as such a condition
would paralyze the speculative market.
From now on the bulk of hogs will run
to sows that have had pigs and have
to be cut largely into ribs and pork.
Sheep.
Sheep were active at generally
steady prices, while lambs of desirable
quality are in greatly improved re-
quest and selling 1926 per hundred
pounds higher.
Heavy purchases of range sheep and
lambs for summer delivery are report
ed. The buyers are big packers, who
are evidently afraid of a shortage in
supply and are determined to fortify
themselves against such a contin-
gency.
Several Idaho outfits, who were ex-
pected to be heavy shippers, have al
ready disposed of their entire output,
the stock to be delivered at nearest
shipping stations
Most of these lambs are said to have
been contracted at Sc.

EQUITABLE RECEIVER ASKED.
Life Assurance Society May go Into
New Hands.

Philadelphia. Pa, July 2S.- An en-
tirely new turn may be given to the
affairs of the Equitable Life Assur-
ance Society as a result of bill In
equity filed in the United States court
for the southern district of New York
on behalf of j. Wilcox Brown of
Maryland and r. Ashby Blythe of this
city, both of whom are policy-holders
in the society. Brown is the original
complainant Blythe being intervening.
The action is brought against the
stockholders. corporation and against
the chartered society. While making
no direct motion for the appointment
of receivers for the society the bill is
filed in anticipation of such an APP
plication.
In the form of an amendment COM
plant to bill filed last April the suit
Is to throw the entire 1921, 100000 Of
the assets of the Equitable Life As
surance Society into the hands of re-
cievers, who shall take possession of
all the funds, assets and property held
by the defendant-society of every char
acter and description and administer
the same as they may be directed by
the court
More than forty policyholders in the
Equitable, representing a dozen differ
ent states, are included as complain
ants in the present suit, which is based
in part upon the allegation that the
society has no funds with which to
meet it's enormous losses and is insol-
vent.
With J. Wilcox Brown of Maryland,
the holder Of $4,000 policy. as COM
plainant, papers were filed last April
to compel distribution of the $S4,-
100000 surplus fund of the society, to
compel the management to make an
accounting to the policy-holders and
for the appointment of receivers for
the surplus fund pending judicial as
certainment of the rights of the policy
holders thereto.
Since the filing of that bill permission
vas obtained to file an amended COM
plant. Since the original bill was filed
forty-four other policyholders have in
tervened in the suit.
If the court should grant the various
prayers of the compliments there
would be provided a thorough public
insight into all the inside workings of
the society and the institution of the
reforms, the nature Of which would be
more radical than anything yet pro-
posed by those desiring a thorough re-
organization.
Say Stock is Wiped Out.
An essential feature of the bill and
the one around which will probably
hang much of the discussion when the
action comes up for argument is the
point that the 100000 corporation now
controlled by Thomas F. Ryan is in no
sense proprietary concern, but mere
~ an incorporated trustee.

NO. RAIN WANTED.
All Lakota Asks Is Warm Weather.
Crops Are Fine.

Lakota, N. b., July 2S-The farmers
are praying for continued warm
weather. Crop prospects We're never
better. No more rain is required for
at least six weeks, as the ground is
thoroughly soaked. So far, there has
been no appearance of rust in Nelson
county, but reports are current OF it's
appearance east Of here. The early
sown wheat is coming along rtlceiy and
is heading out we'll. One noticeable
feature Of the stands is that the heads
are much fuller than usual, there being
eight, ten and even twelve rows of
kernels. This in itself would indicate
an unusual crop, provided it natures.
There Is much of the wheat, however.
which is from two to three weeks back
other grains are doing fairly well.
Corn is backwards.
