GAINESVILLE, Tenn, May TO-
The wholesale firm of Hurst-Bollin

rience with tho railroads, which pro-
posed to transport a car of salt from
a point in Virginia to this city. EN-
ployes were Chagrinned yesterday
when they broke the seals and open
ed the car, which they thought con-
tanned salt, to find mud and partly
empty barrels The car was routed
through Louisville and had evidently
been in the Ohio flood. The muddled
condition of the car showed the water
had been five feet deep in it. The car
had probably been used to weight
down some structure in danger of be,
ing fioated away, and after serving
that purpose and being dried out, was
sent on to the ccnsignees.
AS is readily understood, the salt,
after dissolvine, passed away as the
current filtered the water through the
car. AS the salt in solution was car
ried away, mud settled, taking the
place of the original cargo. Owing to
the ''act of Providence clause in the
bill of lading, the railroads will like
ly sidestep any claim for its loss.
The car was started on it's trip to
this city arch 20 and could have been
delivered here in five days. Why it

King county is to have an agricul
tural expert TO assist the farmers in
producing better crop and take better
care of their soils. The Pomona
Grange at it's last meeting last Thurs
day passed resolution asking the
county commissioners to appoint an
agricultural expert under the new
law passed by the state legislature.
a committee, consisting of L. Y.
Williams Fred Nelson and Robert
Main appeared before the county
commissioners on Tuesday and pre-
sented the matter to them. Without
a dissenting vote the commissioners
approved of the plan and set aside
500 per month for such services.
The farmers Of the county will be
asked to select list of men from
which an agricultural expert will be
selected by the Board of Agriculture.

this kind, that it believed that CO.

of the producer. 1t is pleasure now

ment at this time and show that the
prophesied failure has been turned

ger revenue was S15, 8O9, OBS. IS, an in

That the kelp beds of Alaska rival
the gold fields of that tt rrilory and
foretell tremendous future for the
northwest in the potash industry, is
the opinion of Prof George h. Rigg,
of the botany department of the state
university. Pr t. Rigg says that the
gold mined in Alaska every year aver
ages about SO, 900, 600, while the kelp
crop is worth SIG, 000 600. He has
been in charge Of the government
survey of the kelp beds in northern
waters for the past two summers.
Since the kelp found on the Pacific
Coast, and particularly in Alaskan
waters, is the only kind that can be
utilized commercially for producing
potash, the possibilities are unlimit-

PRODUCERS & CONSUMERS STORE
PAYING.

The Producers and Consumers
Company, of Seattle, which was or
gnaized under the auspices of the
State Grange, issued under the date
OF October 18th, a notice to its stock
holders which places the affairs of
the company in a much more opti-
mistic standing. This statement
shows that the company is now pay
ing it's expenses and the financial
statement for the month of September
showed slight profit. This is the
first time profit has been made since
business began in the fall Of 1910.
The statement shows that since its
incorporation it has done a business
of over a quarter OF million dollars
that it now owns assets in excess OF
its liabilities of $15. 900.
This is certainly very good show
ing for this cooperative company,
when we take into consideration the
difficulties under which such a COM
pany operates, in city where COM
mission men do everything in their
power to kill off a company of this
kind.
This business was not organized as
a money maker. 1t was supposed
that if expenses were met and the
stockholders were not assessed for
any shortages that its purposes would
be accomplished. The purpose of a
store Of this kind is to afford mar
ket for it's members, the grangers and
farmers OF the state, so that they
would not be compelled to sell their
products to unfair commission houses.
The business acted as kind of bal
ance wheel for protection against over
avaricious commission men.
In June of last year the manage
ment then in charge of the store is
sued a statement to It's stockholders
in which it stated that the store was
constantly losing money and also that
at the annual meeting soon to be held
the question of continuing the bust
ness at a loss or going out of business
would be settled. In the June 10Th
issue of The Ranch we commented on
this statement, in which we said that
if 800, 600 had been lost and there was
no possibility of anything better, the
business was failure and should be
closed up. However, at the meeting
of the stockholders held a few days
thereafter, a large majority we're
strongly in favor of continuing the
store, but demanded a change of
management. They were satisfied
that the store could be made to pay
expenses. Some time after Mr.. K.
Hazelton, successful business man
of Monroe, was placed in charge and
from that time business has gradually
