Wisconsin Beet Sugar Men
Fighting the Free Bill
in Congress.

Fargo. N. d.. April I'll. M. Ander-
son, secretary Of the Society of Equity
o the State of North Dakota. has
been asked to call a conference of the
North Dakota society officials to pro-
test against the free sugar bill now
pending in the senate after having
been passed by the house. The action
Is due to an appeal from Secretary
Tubbs of the Wisconsin State Society
Of Equity which has taken strong &C.
ton protesting in behalf Of the beet
growers of Wisconsin. against q reduc-
ton in the tariff which would wipe out
the rapidly growing beet sugar indus
try in America.

Importance because the president of
the state society. which makes this
fraternal appeal to North Dakota, is
also the national president, Ira NJ. J.
Chryst. of Hudson, thus e%videncing
that this great farmers organization
The wisconsin appeal is backed up
by requests from farmers organiza-
tions in all parts Of the west, includ-
ing most Of the seventeen states
where sugar beets are grown, for
North Dakota farmers to bring pres
sure to bear upon its congressman who
voted in favor Of the sugar trust plan

ents opposition, to show the congress.
men that the farmer sentiment OF
their state is against the abolition OF
the industry which pays 500, 00O, 000
a year to American farmers for their
beet crops.
The Wisconsin society sent the
North Dakota secretary q copy Of ite
resolutions on the beet sugar ques-
ton.

MINNEAPOLIS MAY
WHEAT RALLIES
From 1o3W to 1866 Split
Corn Market Strong

Minneapolis, April 4.-Cables
came surprisingly firm from Liver
pool this morning and this caused a
firmer opening here with shorts anx-
fous to cover their lines while they
showed a profit. Cash wheat in Liv-
demand and as reports from India
were OF an unfavorable character,
European buyers were eager to take
Canadian wheat. The Argentine
shipments were smaller and this also
helped to give the foreign markets
a steady tone.

The Canadian receipts are still
causing more or less bearish feeling
on the other hand the May future
in that market holds extremely
strong and does not seem to be af-
fected by the free movement OF grain
to that market. Receipts at that
point today were 467 cars compared
with 1911 carr last year. Minneapo-
lis had $50 cars compared with 1917
cars a year ago. Duluth reported SO

showed a decrease of 100000 bushels

crossing favorably in many sections,

SAY HE IS
TO WORK LOWER

Chicago Inter-Ocean this morning
SAYS: 1t was the gossip last night
that wheat is to work lower. The
bears had more short July and Sep
TENDER out thar for some time past,
and were confident of their position.
They say local traders have abandoned
May. leaving 1t to the leading bull in
terest and from now on they expect
to see May iuctuate sharply, with
light trading. while the big business
will be in July and September. The
large spectators who we're bearish,
as we'll as the cash interests. said that
wheat must DO to an export basis be-
fore there Is a healthy market from
a buyers standpoint, that the bulls
have overstayed and that only large
export business OF sensational crop
damage can help them out. The bulls
as usual had nothing to say last night.
When pressed for an opinion, they
said: whats the use."
Corn.
Corn bulls said the break Of 1c from
yesterdays high point was not unex
pected. considering the fact that the
short interest has been largely cut
down by the recent advance Of &c in
two weeks and by the weakness in
wheat. They still have confidence in
higher prices and predict a better
a demand. lighter receipts and that
cash prices will work closer to futures.
Pit traders who were bearish, said
they saw a great deal Of long corn
coming out and asserted that the buv-
ing in the market was not Of as good
a class as 1t has been for the last
two weeks"

Future.
BARLEY SCARCE

Nearly One-third Less to
Draw From Than
Last Year.

The fax movement of past week
was 10% cars received against 35 cars
received in the same week last year
In Minneapolis. The larger receipts
this ycar than last is about what
would naturally he expected in view
Of a larger crop in 1911 than in 1910.
Values appreciated during the week
with prices several cents higher at
the end than at the beginning. De
mand was not so much more active
as the rise in prices would indicate,
because there seemed no speculative
ideas mixed up with the trade in order
to produce the higher range of values.
There exists a feeling among the
masses that there will be Il scarcity of
seed another year and Il smaller acre
81 owing to the fact Of frost and
other weather conditions affecting it's
quality for growing his year. Few
tests for the nsccrtainment of this
condition have been reported and
probably few made. 1T follows tina
the trade is quite in the dark as to
the future.

senting the plaintiff.
The bill Of particulars was filed on
demand of defendants. 1t covers two
closely written sheets OF legal cap

After the announcement of the
case has been made it recites that
t names of all the electors who
We're permitted to do the unlawful
cannot be set forth, for the reason
that the unlawful acts and conduct
We're general and the names of all
are not known"
1t Is alleged that H. l.. Bolley, T.
dollhouse and John B.. Sundt and one
unknown person accompanied John
3. Sundt into a voting place. It is
also alleged that votes cast for the
socialist candidate were counted for
NJ. Sweet. 1t is stated further that
John Bogenschutz and Frank Har-
lander were in the booth at one time
engaged in making their ballot.
The names of the men alluded to
in paragraph four are c. l.. Covell.

F. H. Watkins, and it Is alleged in
that paragraph that these are not le-
gal voters.
Students Names Mentioned.
There are twenty-one names men,
toned in paragraph eight and 1t is
alleged these are the names Of stu
dents who cast ballots, that they
were here merely as students and
were not boni f1de residents within
the meaning of the law.
Following this paragraph isf a list
Of eighty-two names land these are
said to have been the names Of per-
sons who ''swore in" their ballots on

lars and it Is known that Mr.. Sweet
has had men all over the wards that

truth of the matter.
The plaintiffs papers must be filed
in court on the same day, but it was
stipulated that the attorneys Of the

before that time and this was done
yesterday.
After the court has passed on the
papers a date will be set for a hear

Tile Barley Market.

. AaI u
The barley market last week was
Asain firm and appreciably higher.
Markets for this grain are not always
easy to determine owing to the custom
of dealing almost altogether by sam
pie. II is Il none-speculative grain in
the usual acceptance of the trade for
forward delivery as it is bought for
use. and when taken for investment
there is difficulty in providing safety
against declines. The situation is. that
barley is scarce everywhere in this
country. and high qualities seem To b"
almost out of he market. This is
shown Very clearly by the barley con-
sumcrs, by their taking this grain at
high figures. in qualities formerly
handled only as feed stock at l"w
prices. There is more or less of "a

Department reports of farm r"-
serves of 15.5 per cent with a total OF
24.I6O 900 bu.. against last years to-
tai of l9.l per cent and a total of So:
million bushels last Year. The situa-
ton in that respect promises little OF
improvement OF offerings during tho
remainder of the season. with nearly
one-third less supplies to draw from
than last year. when there was prac-
tically no surplus left over the stua-
ton speaks loudly of exhaustion be-
fore the harvesting and curing for use,

Minneapolis receipts of barley for
the past week amounted to 81 cars,
against 300 ears a year ako. Prices
ranged from about 81 40 per hnShel
down to the low prices of feed grain,
difference in values depending alto
gether upon the judgment of the buy
er as to quality.

The production of potatoes in parts
of Europe and the conversion of them
by manufacture into various forms of
food for the people is an important
industry. Potato flour is sold at retail
in the groceries for cooking purposes.
The our is used chiefly by adding to
wheat and rye flour in making bread
in the proportion of about 10 per cent
for wheat bread and about 10 to Is
per cen for rye bread. 1t is said the
added potato flour gives the bread a
ralatable flavor and makes it more di-
gestible and keeps the bread fresh for
a longer time. 1t is also used to less
extent in soups and sauces. The price
of the -four ranges from about $4.75
