HIBBARD COULD

WELL KNOWN FARMER RELATES
HIS EXPERIENCE IN TRYING TO
DISPOSE or coRN-FED PoRKER
I'M FARGO ~ STATEMENTS ~
DEALERS.

The Forum has frequently called att
tentSon to the fact that-if diversified
farming and dairying and liYe stock
breeding tributary to Fargo is to be
fostered--a market must be estab-
Iished.
This is the greatest possible argu-
ment for the central market propo-
sition which is now under considera-
ton.
Yesterday George Hubbard. a farmer
near Argusville, drove into town with
a fine 200 pound corn-fed hog. He
had some business at ChesIey's lurn-
Der yard and while there telephoned
the meat market men Of Fargo and
Moorhead.
Late in the afternoon Mr.. Hubbard
called at The Forum and made the
following statement: "The Tsrgo mar
ket doesn't offer much inducement to
a farmer. / brought In a hog and
offered it to the dealers. There wasn't
a market in the two towns for one
piece OF pork. Not a single dealer
in Fargo would take it, all claiming
to be stocked UP, One dealer in Moor
head said he would take it next week.
I am taking this corn-fed hog back
to my farm, where his fine qualities
will be more appreciated. It's a nice
thing for the farmers to learn that
both Fargo and Moorhead cant handle
one lone hog. It seems to me that
the people Of Fargo can't start this
| central market proposition too soon."
This morning The Forum called up
some of the local dealers, with the
following results:
G. f. Eggert: Yes, we were called
up yesterday by some one, presumably
MIR. Hubbard. We told him to bring
the hog down and we would make an
offer. We could not buy the porker
over the phone.
G. 2. Green: / do not personally re-
call any offer of a hog yesterday. We
have arrangements with regular buy
ers who furnish us hogs about a week
in advance.
Hauser Bros: Some one offered US
a hog over the phone yesterday but
we have a large supply on hand, some
of which are eating up a lot of good
corn Just now and we didn't care to
buy.
Some of the other dealers could not
be reached.
This may seem quite a commotion
to raise about one hog but the farm
ers claim they are unable to dispose
of either live stock or meats in Fargo.
Some allege there is a combination
among the dealers to force farmers
to take cheap prices. This is siren
uously denied by the meatmarket men.
A central market will solve this
problem for the farmers who have an
occasional animal to sell. OF course
those who have a lot of live stock
for the market can ship in car load
lots but the man with an occasional

order to adjust the damages and to get
the proper location It is a straight
forward business proposition in every
respect in ali cases for the board to act
as viewers and for the best interests Of
the township. county and state The
county commissioners should act in the
matter Of locating. relocating or aban
doning all roads.
Before any more money is expended
on the roads they should be carefully
inspected to ascertain whether reloca-
ton of certain sections to avoid bad
hills. holes or the cost and maintenance
of certain bridges and culverts could
not be eliminated. 1t is practically i'm
possible to change the location of II
road after any considerable improve
ment has been made upon it or along it
SO the very best possible location should
be had before making costly improve
ments. Errors and permanent blum
ders may creep in and forever fasteD
themselves upon the road and its users
Worst of all. these errors become more
expensive with increased traffic and
are harder to change.

At almost every meeting OF the coun-

acted upon. and in most cases they are
approved with insufficient information
and with little consideration.
Most of the counties have more roads
than they need now. and before pass

the county board should carefully in
vestigate whether or not it would he Il

The law provides that the board may

THE WHY" OF GOOD ROADS.

; Fifty years ago there was an
excuse for bad roads, for our
s country was poor, but there is
} not much excuse now.
A good road always is to be de-
sired. 1t is a source Of comfort
and convenience to every trav-
eIer.
Good roads attract population
as we'll as good schools and
churches.
5 Good roads improve the value
Of property.
