News Of the Week From Vari-

URGES GROWERS TO ORGANIZE
Professor Bolley Wants Farmers to
Raise Disease Resistant Flax
fer Seed Purposes.

The botanical department of the
North Dakota Agricultural college at
Fargo, after some years of seed selec.
tion methods and definite cropping ex-
periments, has produced strains Of
fax that have the power to grow on
old flax cropped, wilt sick lands and
produce approximately normal yields.
In order that North Dakota may
have direct benefit of the methods and
information which have cost the state
so much money to obtain it is sug-
gested that these methods be carried
direct to the farmer and in such man.
ner that the benefits will come in the
shortest possible time and be of per.
manent value to the state as a whole.
In order to accomplish this it is
proposed that a flax growers associa.
ton be organized, the membership of
which shall be composed of actual
growers, one to several operating
members in each county. Each
grower would operate five to ten-acre
plots, breeding disease resistant flax,
which would supply the seed for "in-
crease" fields, which in turn would
supply seed for the normal fax acre
age of the state.
New u%ncropped virgin soil lands
will not last long o that the trac-
ton outfits have come to stay. There
fore, the farmers who will be pre-
pared to retain flax as a part of their
regular pay crop on their old worked
soils cannot fail to reap great benefit.
20 the farmer who will decide to
take up the breeding of wilt and rust
resistant fax there will be great ben
eft in the fact that he can raise a
normal crop of flax IN old lands that
are reasonably free from weeds. He
can sell this seed to his neighbors
and the seed houses at a good margin
above the market price.
Professor H. l.. Bolley desires to
hear from farmers who will under
take the special methods necessary
to produce reliable resistant seed so
that this work may get a good start
the coming spring.

Supreme Court Turns Down Gov
ernnent'S Contention.
VICTORY ON MINOR POINTS
Some of the Methods Of the Anthra
cite Goa! Carrying Roads De-
cIared to Be Illegal.

Washington, Dec. 1.-THE govern
ment lost it's fight before the supreme
court of the United States to have the
anthracite coal carrying railroads and
their affiliated coal companies de
clared to be in a general combination
in violation of the Sherman antitrust
law.
1t won a victory in getting the court
to strike down the IS per cent con-
tracts where the railroad coal COM
panies" buy the output of "independ-
ent Mines"
Justice Lurton in announcing the
opinion said these contracts were
plainly in violation of the law.
The court also held that the rail
roads had violated the law by attempt
ing to shut out of the anthracite re-
gion a competitive road through their
control of the Temple Iron company.
AS to the minor combinations of
railroads and coal companies, charged
to be violating the law, the court dis
missed the action without prejudice
to future suits, because it held it not
fair to require those groups to make
a defense in an action primarily
against a general combination"
Justices Day, Hughes and Pitney
took no part in the decision. There
were no dissenting opinions.

WHITELAW REID
DIES AT LONDON
American Ambassador to Eng
land III About Two Weeks.

London, Dec. 16.-Whitelaw Reid,
the American ambassador to Great
Britain since 1905, died at his London
residence, Dorchester House, from pull
monary oedema. The end was quite
peaceful. Mrs. Reid and their daugh-
ter, Mrs. John Hubert Ward, were at
the bedside.
Sir Thomas Barlow, physician to
the king, who was called in last week
when Mr.. Reid's illness became acute,
and his regular physician, DR.. William
Hale White, issued the following bulle.
tin as to the cause of death:
"a fortnight ago the American am
bassador had a slight bronchial at
tack similar to others from which he
had suffered at considerable intervals.
On Wednesday last asthma supervened
and the asthmatic paroxysms became
very severe, leading to extreme ex-
haustion.
ut was hoped that he might rally,
as no pneumonia symptoms had ap-
peared. With difficulty the paroxysms
of asthma were got under control, but
the exhaustion became extreme and
he died from pulmonary oedema."

SEEKS TO END
BUTTER TRUST
Government Begins Action h
Federal Court.
DECLARED TO Be ILLEGAL
Complaint Charges That Prices Are
Arbitrarily Fixed to Detriment Of
the Consuming Public.

Chicago, Dec. 15.-The Elgin board
of trade, popularity known as the "but-
ter trust" and the American Associa-
ton Creamery Butter Manufacturers,
were attacked by the federal govern
ment in a civil antitrust suit filed
here for the dissolution of both con-
Germs.
Sweeping charges of a conspiracy
arbitrarily to fix the price of butter in
the interests of big manufacturers
and cold storage concerns and to the
detriment of the farmer, other small
producers and the consuming public,
are made by Attorney General Wick
ersham against the so called trust,
which he would destroy as a violation
of the Sherman law.
Aside from the dissolution of the
two organizations the government
seeks to enjoin the defendants from
appointing a price fixing committee;
from fixing prices; from quoting or
publishing figures purporting to be
market prices" until they are based
upon bona fde sales of butter; from
demanding that the Elgin price be
used as a basis of making contracts
for butter; and from making fictitious
or "wash sales" of butter to mislead
as to the actual price at which butter
is being sold.
Dominated by C%entraIizers.
The price of butter fixed on the
Elgin exchange, the government main
tains, is not the result of free and
open competition regulated by actual
bona fide sales under the law of sup
ply and demand. The price fixing
committee of the board is dominated
and controlled, it is alleged, by large
butter manufacturers known as "cen-
tralizers, and by cold storage con-
cerns."
From May to August, when the bulk
of the country's supply is made, the
petition says large centralizing con
Germs are buyers, rather than sellers
of butter, buying up the surplus prod
uct and storing it for winter when
the price is enhanced.
1t is charged that the American AS
sociation Creamery Butter Manufac-
turers, composed of about forty-six
firms and individuals, is used by the
"conspirators" to maintain these sea
sonal differences in prices without re-
gard to trade conditions or compe-
ton are required, it is alleged, to use
the price thus established as the basis
of their contracts for the purchase or
sale of butter.

PRIZES FOR GROWING HOGS
Fargo Bank Officers Extend Movement
to Diversity Farming.

Having induced the farmers Of North
Dakota to grow corn in greater guam
titles the next proposition is to have
them raise something to cat the corn.
For two years the First National bank
of Fargo and other institutions have
given hundreds of dollars in cash
prizes for corn. The Fargo institution
now announces that for the next sea-
son prizes will be offered for hogs.
There will be money for the largest
hog, the most prolific hog family, the
most rapid development of pigs to a
certain age and other features.
The corr acreage has been more
than quadrupled during the past two
years despite the fact that good seed
was difficult to secure last spring. 1t
Is hoped to interest the farmers in
Corn growing and hog raising to such
an extent that a packing house can be
