FARMER NOT SATISFIED
WITH COUNTY'S TREATMENT
Surrey, N O., Oct 3, 1911.


To the Readers OF me Independent:
wish to gTe you few isl:rs on
how the county helped the farmers
this year and ,.l1w how it is grating
them.
This spring vt rom Tie r,unty
an order for warrant for 90 bu. wheat
at $1O3.5O; so blu. oats at Goo, $50. 90;
so bu. feed at SIC, $2S. 90; amounting
to $161 so actual cost to the county Of
Ward. Today I paid my bill (under
protest as follows: seed grain, $751;
so, plus 6 per cent expenses, $3.50,
plus interest on $17l.19, at 8 per cent
for months, Sc IS, making total
of $178.04. Section II Of H. B. No..
70, laws of 1909, reads as follows
Section II (grain furnished at cost
1t shall be the duty Of the commits
sioners providing seed grain under
the provisions of this act, to purchase
the same at the lowest price at which
suitable grain can be Obtained, ana
to furnish the same to applicants at
the actual cost thereof to the commits
sioners with the transportation and
hauling charges added if any there he
and any person requiring or extorting
from any applicant a greater price
shall be deemed guilty of a misde-
meanor, and upon conviction thereof
shall be punished by fine or impris-
onment, or both, as the court may
determine.
So according to this part of the
law some one is guilty of misde-
meanor and not only one, but many,
for understand thot the per cent
expenses are added to each warrant
and the same rate of interest charged
on all. would like to see ties:

WINTER CLOTHES FOR ALFALFA

Alfalfa from northern grown seed
is hardy, yet it needs winter prote,-
t1on. In case there was not a good
growth left to cover it, to catch snow
and TO lessen the effect Of freezing
and thawing, it will be helpful to put
on light covering OF straw or man
ure. Some of this will get into the
hay but the important thing is to save
the stand OF alfalfa.

1.-THE women of this country can do
anything il they will set their minds
to it,"
This is the foundation upon which
Miss Alice Bennett, advocate of water
power conservation, bases her hopes
of preserving for the people their
rights and interests In the water pow
er sites OF the country. To her mind
the subject is one of the highest i'm
portance to all the people of the ma
ton, affecting, among other matters,
the cost OF living and the p~reserya-
ton OF the fundamental rights OF cfi-
zenship. In her advocacy Of her
cause she unites the zeal of her Con-
necticut ancestors of the seventeenth
century with the observation-disclosures
and store of information of a woman
OF the second decade OF the twentieth
century.
1t would be wrong to call Miss Ben
nett's interest In the conservation of
the water power sites and the preser-
walton of the peoples rights In them
her hobby, for that word would BELT
lie, according to her ideas, the prime
Importance of the subject. But it is
her hobby in the sense that she Is de-
voting to 1t all her time and is work
ing very hard to interest the women
of the country In the matter. She is
going from city to city lecturing and
is devoting the rest OF her time to the
preparation of literature bearing on
the matter. Her work is meeting with
the approval of many women's organ
izations. and she displays with pride
a letter indorsing her work sent to her
by Mrs. Lillian Nj. HOLSTER, president
of the National Council of Women,
the central governing body of the wo-
mems clubs and declarations of the
country. Among the other orgaaiza-
tons which have become interested IN
Miss Benefits propaganda is the Wo-
mans National Rivers and Harbors
congress, an auxiliary Of the mems
national body. The congress has 40,-
900 members.
1t is Miss Bennett's ambition to or
ganize throughout the country, In cit
les, towns and villages. clubs or asso-
Citations or women awakened to a
strong realization or the Importance
OF the subject which she Is agitating.
To her mind very few other questions,
II any,, oyershadow it In Importance
and present interest. The utilization
OF the water powers of the country
and their retention In the hands OF the
people are questions attracting a large
and yer growing amount OF at
teRtion from scientists and puhlicasts.
On the proper utilization OF these

Opposes Express Companies.

The National Grange. at its meeting
held recently in Columbus, o., endorsed
the parcels post idea in the following
strong resolution:
"The existense of business parasites
is hindrance to cooperation. and we
would point out that the most danger
GUS economic parasite with which the
people of the country have to contend,
and especially the farmer, is the ex-
press company. Our tribute to it as
well as those other concerns which are
probably important on their merits but
dangerous in their inflated conditions, is
a tax which should not be imposed and
which serves to defeat the best inter-
ests of the people. Therefore, we re-
commend, as one of the greater forms
necessary for the successful develop
ment of cooperation, that this body in
dorse the plan of postal express now
pending before congress, being bill
presented by David j. Lewis, member
Of congress from the sixth district CT
Maryland and known as ''The Lewis
Bill" This thought opens up the sub
ject of distribution. Poor methods of
distribution are hindrance to success
full cooperation. The postal express
plan, in our judgment, will assist in
more efficient distribution, mas much as
it will create an articulation heretofore
denied between all sections of the coun-
try, which will in turn serve to force
individuals and corporations dealing in
the necessaries of life to modernize
their methods of handling the products
of the farm. In many of the great CT
ties we find the methods of distribution
antiquated and really obsolete"
