NEBRASKA FARMERS SAD.
Is the Result Of a Terrible Mortality
Among Fruit Tree Agents.

LINCOLN, Neb., June 2.-aBeen a terrible
mortality among the fruit tree agents,
this spring, said former Lieut., Gov. Majors,
a Nemaha county farmer, when in town
the other day. Never say anything like
1t before.
"A few months ago a lot Of agents came
down In our territory displaying catalogues
showing peach, plum, apple and cherry
trees in gaudy oolors. They told us farmers
that they were willing to sell these at from
80 to rs cents apiece, under o contract that
they would require no pay until each tree
was in bearing.
Then they would buy one-half Of the
fruit at the highest market prices. guaran-
teeing in the case Of peaches mo- to offer
less han rs cents q bushel. They would
take half OF the cost Of the trees and plants
In this way II the purchaser wished, and
IL the sale was a little slow would gener-
ously offer to- take 1t all in fruit,
Sign up? OF course we did. Been look
ing for such good things all our life.
"They wouldn't sign a contract for less
thar 100 trees, but on those terms who
would want TO be content with leRs than an
orchard? Especially when, in addition,
they guaranteed to replace all that died
q man each spring to prune, examine and
replace, -, -
the contracts that accompanied them did
not contain the clauses the farmers had
beer led to believe were there.
sThe new man was very polite n SYM
pathetic. He WIGS very sorry II there had
been any misrepresentation, but the mar
who had sold the trees q died the week
before and left no such memorandum.
What farmer who reads the papers would
expect q company TO do such Impossible
things.
sPay upp The farmers did, Of course.
Their visible surplus has been materially
decreased, but they have sent no flowers
