STEPHAN WRITES LETTER RE-
lATiNG TO NEW FRiT BILL

,saa ne,ta Colo Nav : 1919
H. C. Fletcher, Manager,
Grand Junction Fruit Growers Assn.
Grand Junction, Colo.
Dear SIR
Replying to yours of May 1st, con-
cerning some of the provisions of the
bill relating to commission merchants,
i believe, as you state, that the bill
is misunderstood by a great many.
So far as the bill applying to asso-
Citations such as yours, / think there
can be no question but that it does
apply
Section / is very specific, and pro-
vides that any person, firm or corpor-
alton pursuing, or who shall pursue,
the business of selling farm, dairy,
orchard or garden produce upon con-
signment for a commission shall be
deemed to be commission merchant
/ do not understand that this bill
would apply to cooperative con-
cern which handled only the proper
ty of its members and did not charge
any commission, but it is my under
standing that all the fruit growers
associations in Delta and Mesa coun-
ties charge a fixed commission and
handle goods not only for their own
memDeTS DuU LOT any OtHeT peISOH,
md that such consignments are ham
died on commission. Some of the ad-
vantages to be realized from this bill
are as follows:
To prevent the farmer from being
swindled out of his crop by dealing
with absolutely irresponsible concerns
who obtain his fruit on consignments
and do not pay for 1t. This class of
men will probably be prevented from
doing business on account of the bond
which is required / do not under
stand. however, that furnishing the
bond will work any hardship on the
various associations on the Western
Slope. for the reason that they will be
able to furnish a $4,000 bond.
Section provides for the keeping
books, which is certainly a good pro-
vision and cannot work a hardship
on any of our associations.
Section has been criticized more
than any other section of the bill

! do not believe this provision will
work as great a hardship as some
commission merchants imagine, as II
is simply requiring of them that bills
or memoranda OF sales be made, as is
voluntarily done by most every mer
chant in the country. It does not
seem unreasonable to ask that an
agent shall in writing acknowledge
the receipt of the consignment OF
fruit. and that such agent shall at
least report to his principal the price
at which the goods are sold.

Chilled Chicks

How many chicks will live? Sew
enty-five per cent? Hardly. Fifty
per cent? Possibly. And because the
German germs and the Irish microbe
are the direct cause of the loss in
most cases. we will forget the cause
back of this cause which is often
caused by lack of preparation for big
hatch, too little brooder capacity:
sometimes caused by the hurry and
rush OF other work. largely caused
by fireless brooder fad, all of which
lead to the first great cause OF loss
of baby chicks. chilling.
Don't expect to be able to do jus
tice to your chicks in boxes about the
kitchen stove: have plenty of brooder
capacity ready. and don't be afraid OF
having the brooder too hot II the

the many ! have seen. very few are

keep her close. let the chicks come
out II they will. but do not allow the
hen to expose them. II the wind can
not affect your skin II is because you
are too thick skinned to appreciate
the need OF warmth for the need OF
baby chicks.
Do not understand me to say that
chilling causes white diarrhoea which
gets so many chicks. but rather that
the organisms which do cause this
and other chick diseases can get no

| notice an attack on the bill in a
recent Grand Junction daily. The ar
ticle in question is simply a general
condemnation and conjecture, without
any specific objections to the bill, as
it does not refer to any section of the
bill or to any provision of it. If the
bill in question did not displease
it certainly wouldn't amount
to anything. as the protecting of the
farmer is certainly detrimental to the
concerns, who have,
any investment or capital
and. in many cases. without any ex-
perience, simply swindled the farmers
out of their hard-earned years work.
| think this bill will not only work
a great hardship on the dishonest COM

will protect the farmers and will be

Mothers' Day.

Mothers Day broke out sporadically
all over the United States In 1905.
People began TO question it's origin.
and 1t was found that this most beau
tiful idea and sentiment originated
with Miss Anna Jarvis of Philadelphia.
The happy thought occurred to her
that all mothers. whether living or
dead. should be especially honored
some day each year, and the second
Sunday In May was set aside as
Mothers Day.
Miss JARVIS suggested wearing a
white carnation, but In this way only
small per cent OF the people could
celebrate the day. and since everyone
wants to honor their mother-the best
mother who ever lived--it has become
the custom to wear bright flowers for
the mothers living. and white flowers
for mothers memory.

which is not an unreasonable provi-
sion. A-.s-,--,- -.
Another benefit to the local asso-
Citations is that it will prevent ire
sponsible concerns from sending out
agents into this territory and induc-
ing the farmers to ship their produce
to such irresponsible concerns to be
placed on the market, in many cases
overstocking certain markets and
thereby resulting in the total loss of
large quantities of good fruit, in place
of having the fruit go through the
proper channels, where such over
stocking could be avoided. 1t will al
SO, to some extent, prevent the COM
mission merchants of Denver and
other cities from coming into this
ment, for the reason that if they or

ceded that better prices can be had

ed and prices are broken by direct
shipments from the grower without

, the market to which the fruit is con-
signed.

pecially as the bill is for the protec.

the associations are owned by fruit

unreasonable that commission mer-
chants should be regulated when II
is conceded on all sides that it is just
and proper to require Legislation re-

SAYS AMENDMENTS LOST
Former Governor Mcconnell Declares
Vote for Them Was Not Enough

Moscow.-Ex- Governor w. J. Nc
Connell has issued a letter protesting
against the adoption OF the eight
amendments, voted upon at the last
election, to the constitution OF Idaho,
and points out the fact that under the
rule by which all these amendments
have been declared carried that II
would be possible to amend the con
stitution II the amendment only re-
ceived a dozen votes.
The reason assigned for this sugges-
ton is that the supreme court in 1896
held the women's suffrage amendment
to have carried when il received less
than a majority vote of all the electors
voting at that election
"The supreme court held says Mr.
Mcconnell, that a majority OF those
voting upon a proposed amendment
adopts it, and this is, in my opinion
absurd.
THAT is just what section ! OF ar
ticle 20 Of the constitution prohibits
when it provides that such amend
ments must have received majority
of all the electors
The ameu4moat receiving the larg-
est vote got 43667 affirmative votes
out of a total OF 1O5,74O. Ex-Governor
Mcdonnell contends that this amend
ment. TO be legally adopted under the
provisions Of the constitution, would
have had TO receive 52,S71 votes, ma
jority OF The 1854 electors voting at
