SMALL G|NNERS
MAKE COMPLAINT
CURIOUS QUESTION COMES rr
FOR OKLAHOMA CORPORA
TION COMMISSION.
SOIL PRODUCT TOO HIGH
Minor Concern Insist that the Larger
Ones are Paying Ruinous
Prices for Cottonseed.

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla, Nov. 2S.
"A complaint because the price paid
for product of the soil is too high
sounds like an anomaly, but one OF
that order perhaps was the hardest
proposition that came to the state
corporation commission for solution
during the entire year Of 1871. The
question referred to is the regula-
ton Of ginners' prices for cotton seed,
It being claimed by some Of the small
Ter gins that the larger gins paid such
high price in their neighborhood
| that they could not operate, save at a
loss. In discussing this question Com
missioner George A. IIenshaw says
There has never been a case of so
much importance to the public at
large as this case, Notwithstanding we
have had cases involving millions Of
dollars"
Accordingly, the situation was
handled without gloves, and the man
ner OF 1t was each particular case
must rest upon the facts in that
case in the language Of Commission
er Henshaw
It seemed peculiar, TO say the least,
to fine men for paying high prices for
cotton seed when the price Of the cot
ton itself was slumping so rapidly
but as often as the corporation com
mission was directed to an offender
he was tried at once, and If found
guilty was ordered to mend his ways
and, incidentally, punished for past
indiscretions.
! Just prior to statehood there was
an agreement among cotton seed oil
men as to what price to pay for cot
ton seed that year. The year before
| they had had a very strenuous war;
says Commissioner Henshaw, In his
| opinion. Cotton seed ran up to SIS
| per ton. / know it got extremely
high. The next year seed sold for $S
per ton. They held them not to eX-
ceed $40, and those that had seed
would go from one min to the other
and try to sell them. No mill in
vaded the others territory. That re-
suited in these facts eventually get
ting into the hands of the United
States attorney. This combination
was broken up in parts by mills AT
East st. Louis and Kansas City enter
ing the field"
And that describes the other horn
of the dilemma. While it Is impera-
tive that the smaller ginner should
not be forced to the wall and thus al
| low the big man in the business to
have monopoly, yet 1t is at least as
equally important that the producer
should have the full protection Of the
| law and receive a fair and adequate
compensation for his seed. OF course,
! prices will vary, and they did in 1911,
but there is no reason why seed
should bring s17 a ton In the town
where a big gin is located, while the

Commissions Method.

In one OF the many decisions N
cotton cases by the commission, Com
missioner Henshaw gives the general
idea of how the commission works in
the following language:
They have asked us TO fix the prof
it the retail dealer receives. That is
impracticable for the commission to
say what anything should be sold for.
1t is impracticable to determine on
any commodities what the retail or
wholesale profit stall be.
"The only solution of ibis question,
in my Judgment, Is TO keep he ave-
nues of competition as nearly open as
possible, remove everything possible
that prevents open and free competi-
tion. The cotton seed and mill in
dustry has developed to the great
credit Of the men that have been in
the business until It is a commodity
of great importance TO the general
public.
Take a country like this, when it
is once covered with oil crushers and
mills, and one company, or combina-
ton of companies, acting in concert
or some following leader without
eany understanding. covers the field, II
has a business the extent Of which and
the cost OF operation and mainten-
ance of which is such that others
would not enter the field even though
they were able. If their mills were
out of the state and the field open
there would be no trouble to cover
the field at this time with local capl-

Yet such was the situation that fire.
quently presented itself to the COM
mission this year Not only that, but
there were some complaints that gins
were refusing to handle the farmers

This is lkeped boy Commissioner Hen
shaw To threshors refusing to thresh
wheat In the middle Of the season
unless the wheat was sold 90 them.
Was PullIing Question.
And complaints were numerous that
too much was being charged for gin
ming and that the ginners were short
weighing their customers; but, happi-
y, the greater portion of these com
plants proved TO be simply creatures
Of the Imagination. Taken from all
angles, the cotton ginning question
was a big one and the corporation
commission deserves great credit for
the manner In which tl was handled.
You can 20 anywhere and buy
groceries and put them I'm your bug
gy and drive home" says the COM
missioner. but when It comes to
transporting a wagon load Of cotton
seed from one mill 10 another II Is
impractical. Farmers do not always
have a car load of cotton seed, like
wheat, they could ship from one place
10 another. They would not have the
difficulty complained Of here II this
were the fact"
And that is Just the point. The
farmer must have his cotton gnned
where he can. Unlike the wheat
grower, he can not hope for any oD-
liging thesher man TO come steaming
up the road and prepare his product
for the market for him ON his own
land. on the contrary, he must drive
TO the gin, which oftentImes is miles
away, or either pool interests with
his neighbor and ship out the raw
cotton by the carload, which is prac-
tically impossible, or sell his crop 20

SEED WHEAT FRAUDS.
Warning from the State Board Of

Complaints are coming in to the
state board OF agriculture of seed
wheat frauds being perpetrated on
farmers in various parts of the state

scarcity of GOOD seed ,Wheat in Okla
homa this year helps the fakirs to
carry out the fraud.
The method usually followed is this:
The fakir advertises seed wheat of
fabulous purity and productiyeness
On account of its exceptional quality
he asks a high price; and he adds.
that cash must accompany orders
The farmer having no seed wheat of
his own and knowing the value OF
good seed. sends in his order accom-
panied by good cash. He receives in
return, wheat that in many instances
is scarcely fit for chicken feed. II
he becomes angry enough to investi-
gate, he finds that the dealer" has no
financial responsibility and he has no
recourse The fahir has his money
and he has the worthless wheat.
The board of agriculture does not
propose to permit such practices, and
if The proper information is furnish
ed. will take steps 10 prosecute the
guilty parties. The farmer can help
by sending in information and by re-
fusing TO purchase from such fellows.
