N. B. Morris, manager of the Mi
not branch of the International Har-
vester company, has returned from a
tour of inspection and concerning the
crops in this territory, he says:
"There are splendid prospects for
wheat and all the small grains, altho
the wheat harvest will be long drawn
out. The wheat will ripen very unev-
emily from present indications but none
of the crop needs to be lost. The straw
will be shorter than usual, but do not
think that headers will have to be
used. We have had ideal weather for
the smaller grains and with some real
warm weather in July, you can depend
on the crop maturing rapidly. You can
quote me as saying that never has
this section of the state had such fine
prospects,"

TWICHELL'S PLAN FOR RELIEF

| L -
Discussion of the Loftus-Twichell
terminal elevator debate at Aneta is
still the principal subject Of news
paper comment throughout North Da-
kota. In an interview today LOTUS
commented as follows upon Twlchell's
scheme for relief.
"Mr. Twichell waited until the con-
clusion of the two-day discussion be-
fore presenting his plan for the intol-
cradle conditions, which he admitted
were existing. Mr.. TWichell had the
last rebuttal under the rules of our de-
bate He waited until the chairman
informed him that he had only fifteen
minutes time left. Then he stated his
remedy. He had been requested fifty
times to advance his own remedy dur
ing the progress Of the two-day dis
cussion. He deliberately waited until
the final moment in order that there
might be no reply.
| "As a matter of fact there is moth
ing whatever new in Twichell's plan.
It is the Chamber of Commerce plan
pure and undiluted. It was advanced
| by Ntzhugh,, secretary of the Cham
Der of Commerce, at gathering of
North Dakota elevator men held as
early as July, 1913. The plan has
been announced and advocated in prac-
tically all of the newspaper and farm
paper organs which the grain COM
bine has been able to control. Twich
ellis plan is Secretary McHugh's plan
nothing more and nothing less.
The plan contemplates years of pre-
liminary work and finally doing bust
ness through the Chamber of Com
merce 1t is not cooperative and
would be a complete surrender to the
very monopoly which Twichell admits
is robbing the farmer of twenty cents
per bushel on all the wheat he raises.
Once member of the Chamber, the
farmers organizations would be
bound by it's rules and practices. They
would become part and parcel of the
grain trust The hands of the farm
ers would be completely tied. They
could not even protest against the
abuses which now impoverish them.
The Chamber of Commerce has held
out the Twichell scheme to the farm
ers for more than two years, but it has
never received serious consideration.

LANCASTER, PA, May 5, 1915.
The 1914 crop of this county has not
yet ali been bought up, and what re-
mains is not likely to cause any of our
dealers loss of sleep if they fail to get
it. Probably Is per cent Of the crop
still remains in the hands Of the grow
ers. and the packers who have been
out riding the county with view of
picking up bargains say that the bar
gain period has gone by. The most of
quality, much of it being trash and
only worth being bought and used as
such.
A very high percentage of black rot
is already being found among the to-
bacco already in the warehouses. Some
packers, indeed, have found so much as
to cause them great alarm, not only
because of the loss it meant to them
already, but by reason of prospective
losses. For if it shows up so freely
now, what will be the case later? All
along, even during the growing period,
not few of our packers declared the
tobacco did not suit them, and when it
became calico tobacco, because OF the
unusually unfavorable conditions under
Which, III CuIeU, III ID q oOuAOC VI WOlIUO1
why these same cealers wanted any of
the tobacco at all. For the trade al
most to man said it was drying rath-
er than curing. Doubtless all of them
had their own reasons for buying, but
it is pretty nearly certain that not
few of them bought because the to-
bacco towards the spring could be had
so cheaply rather than because they
really wanted the goods.
If the packers are not discouraged
over business conditions then they must
be men of unusual strength of mind,
because they certainly do not have
enough trade to keep them from rust
ing. They have marked down their old
packings to the point where they be-
lieve the trade must take the goods,
but they can't tempt buyers. And this
in spite of the fact that they have in
stock goods that have been on the mar
ket several years. and had the reputa-
tion Of giving satisfaction.
