The best thing for any district to
do is to affiliate, cooperate, set up
rigid rule and stand by it, grade
evenly and strictly, send out only
the best stuff and make a name
such that buyers will recognize the
association label as standing for the
best and only the best. The as
sociat.on can have better know
ledge of markets and their condi-
tions, can know about competing
districts, can defect cars from one
market to another if necessary or
best, can build up markets, can
study routes so as to reach the mar
kets by the quickest and cheapest
way, can tell whether a solid car or
mixed car is better for a given small
market, can determine on storage
places and facilities convenient to
main lines and avoid extra charges,
etc.
Fruit must sell at a reasonable
price OF no one will buy. We must
reduce the cost of marketing bv cut
ting out some of the middlemen,
reducing freight charges and lessen
ing.the cost of handling in all pos
sible ways. Then more will be sold,
we will get reasonable price and
the consumer will pay a reasonable
price. Ninety per cent of the COM
mission men are straight business
men, but of the other ten per cent
we need to beware. Never send
fruit to commission man unless
you know he is rated. He discussed
the auction market, saying that it
handled about three-fourths of the
fruit shipped. F. O. B. sales are
best, for though returns are some
times small, they are absolutely
sure; but as the markets are now
organized, the bulk of the fruit goes
to the auction rooms and the COM
mission houses. A small shipment
goes to market under great handi-
cap. We must affiliate, combine,
associate and organize.
Prof. A. B. Nystrom told us why
we should have dairy COWS on our
fruit farms. Dairylng is intensive
farming. 1t builds up the fertility
of the soil. The manure from one
COW is as valuable in one year as
$1,000 worth of commercial fertil-
izer. When dairying has been
practiced and condemned, it is be.
cause of the wrong kind of COW.
The average production OF butterfat
per year from one cow is $50 pounds.
The bsst cow has a record of 1856
pounds of fat per year. One can
not afford to keep a cow that does
not produce 800 pounds of butter
fat per year. In buying insist on
this condition being filled, then
breed up. A COW must be bred to
give milk. We feed a COW because
she gives milk, not because we wish
her to give milk. He then gave
diagrams showing difference in
build and structure between the
beef type and the dairy type of COW
and told how to select feed, and
care for calves for the dairy.
Tuesday afternoon Prof. R. J.
Barnett discussed The Growing of

placed inside the box in which the
plates are to be packed. The boxes
are made to hold an average Of $50
pounds each. AS each box is filed the
cover is nailed on and the box num-

seal. The sealed boxes are then stored
In the vaults of the bureau until such

The committee recently reported to
the secretary Of the treasury the de-
struction Of 1926 pieces, weighing
+1.81O p~ounds-over twenty tons-with-

this vast amount OF metal required the
services Of eight laborers and a team

committee directs the unloading. The

GLACIER PARK
IS POPULAR

Washington, D. c., Oct. 21.--Tourist
travel to Glacier National park was SO
s extraordinary this year that the gov
eminent is building a twenty-five
mile automobile highway from st.
Mary lake to Lake McDermott In
order to make accessible to automobile
stage what is regarded as the most
picturesque spot in the, Switzerland or
America. Work already is being
rushed on this new road which is to
link the $4,000 meanderingg auto
mobile highway built by Louis W.
Hill. chairman of the Great Northern
railway, from Glacier park station, the
eastern gateway of the park, to St
Mary lake, a distance of thirty-two
miles. This will make a continuous
automobile highway extending fifty
seven miles into the mountain ~recesses
of Glacier park. More than a score
Of automobile stages will be put In
service during 1914.
More than 11,0O tourists visited
this newest of the nations parks this
year, setting another record for al
the rest Of Uncle Sans Fairgrounds
nearly twice as nan as were there
last year. And yet the Rocky noun
tain park is only in the third year OF
its existence. Cheap transportation
and low, hotel rates, government Off

the most popular peoples resort in the
country.

inquiry at the express office he did not
get the fruit until five days later, and
then not only was much of it spoiled
by the delay, but the basket had been
opened and about a fourth of the con
tents distracted. 1t took about eight
hours for the peaches to make the trip
to Chicago, but it required I've days
for the express company to make the

about that.

few applications will prove a revela-

n COST OF LIVING.

Some people are fond of declaring
that it is not the high cost of liv-
ing" but 1.-The cost of high living" that
is the explanation of this problem.
~tUndoubtedly there is some truth in
kthis statement. But, 1t remains a fact.
working for day wages and has a big
family to support, the cost Of living IS
too high.
E Sometimes, however. the consumer
himself is partly to blame. In it's in
kquiry into he cost Of living problem,
THE Chicago Record Herald has found
that consumers are often very foolish,
and are themselves responsible for
much of the loss because of exhorbi-
ktant prices.
Lne experience of q retired grocer is
cited to show this. He declares that
Ethe average woman will not buy chcaL
E~eatabies, n gives FROM his own ex-
tperlence an instance when he tried to
FscH AIMED corn OF, prt.ne quality at
t%H cents less than he had been charg-
hing n could not induce his customers
to buy 1t; then he raised the price on
1T, and disposed of it all in a hurry.
He also tells Of bucking against a
Ecompetitor who was selling butterine
as prime butter; the honest grocer
could not compete by selling The
genuine article, despite his proving 20
his customers that the other fellow
was dealing them crooked goods. So
he laid in a stock of butterine and "ad-
Vert1sed 1t as misleadingly as the law
would allow" and could not supply the
demand though he charged the prize
that was asked for genuine butter of
fine grade. The case shows that pride
was at the bottom of the customers
l1oss.
The Record-Herald tells Of a public
market now operating in the stock
yards district of Chicago, where things
are bought direct from producers and
where the customers 90 not have to
stand h middleman's profit. Stalls
in this market are rented for. SO cents
a day. Meat prices there are from 7
to 40 cents a pound less than charged
by tradesmen two or three blocks
away, n vegetables sell at even low
er rates. Thus, carrots in this public
market were retailed at 20 cents a
dozen punches while outside Is cents
was charged; cucumbers at 2 for s
cents, outside tthe same quality ex-
actly) 10 cents each; extra quality
peaches, 80 cents a box, when outside
dealers charged 81.
This concrete example shows the
value OF a market, and The Forum
believes that of the biggest things
that could be done for Fargo would be
the establishment of such a market
here.
One Of the important finds made
by The Record Herald points to a
combine between the express compa-
MES and the wholesale produce DEAL

to investigate much discrimination
and If he finds that it's provisions, as
above set forth, have been violated he
Is empowered to annul the charter or
revoke the permit or license of the
person, firm or corporation violating
it's provisions. At the request of
President Stutsman of the board of
railroad commissioners, Attorney Gen
eral Miller furnished an elaborate and
carefully considered opinion in which
he declares this act to be constitution
al. He holds that the intent Of the
party discriminating in prices must
govern. That is, if the independent
buyer is h aggressor and bids above
the market price for the purpose of
destroying his competitor, then the
line elevator is justifable in meeting
this competition. If on the other hand
the line elevator is the aggressor and
bids more for grain at a competitive
point, where there is an independent
buyer than at a non-competitive point,
where there are only line elevators,
then the provisions of the act are
violated.
He further holds that it is Illegal
for an independent elevator
to pay to it's own stockholders more
per bushel for their grain than other
patrons. 1t is complained in some
cases that they pay more to their
stockholders than to their other
customers.
He further holds that the market
reports sent out by the so-called
grain trust are advisory only and not
binding on the subscribing elevators.
This is an important statute and the
ruling of the attorney general is i'm
portant and far reaching. AS soon as
formal complaint is made to him he
