nit Filed Against Interborough-Met-

Suit Filed Against marlborough Met
ropOlitan. Henry V. Rice, a holder Of
preferred stock Of the marlborough
Metropolitan Company. in his own be-
half and for "othor holders who may
care 20 join him" filed suit in the
Supreme Court yesterday asking that a
receiver be appointed for all the prop
critics and funds of the company as
constituted in June, 1915. He also asks
that Theodore =. Shonts, Cornelius
Vanderbilt, August Belmont and other
directors Of that period be compelled
TO render an accounting of all prop
eTty turned over 20 the Interborough-
Consolidation Corporation.
Rice alleges, upon information and
belief, that the individual directoTs
effected a consolidation with the APP
proval o. the holders Of a majority Of
the InterborouRh Metropolitan shares
and thereby "defrauded" the holders
Of the preferred stock out Of 81 per
cent in accumulated dividends. The
aggregate OF the 81 per cent would
amount to S26,071 500. He further al
leges that for the purpose Of destroy
ing the value of the company the de-
PENDANTS had the securities stricken
from the list Of Stock Exchange securi-
ties and as a result the stock became
unmarketable and is not a collateral
for banks.
From the organization Of the Inter
borough metropolitan Company to
June. 1915, Rice complains, the cor
poration carried large surplus profits
sufficient TO pay the yearly dividend
and have left a substantial surplus
profit.
Rice asks that the consolidation be
declared null and void and the Inter
borough Consolidated Corporation be
enjoined from exercising any control
over the lnterborough-M Metropolitan
property.

FRESH COWS.

1t is very important that farmers recognize the importance of having cows freshen at definite season, and why? The COW that is kept primarily for milk and butter production should freshen in September when it is cas- fer to keep milk and butter, and when butter brings a better price. Cows that are kept primarily for raising calves for meat and that are not milked should freshen in March. Calves can run with cows or pasture during the summer and be ready for market by November or December. The Extension Service of the Univer- sity and U. S. Department of Agri- culture at Little Rock will send bulle- tins on the handling of COWS.

 A good rotation will consist of the malicious attenuation of the above groups of crops. The warm winters and the humid conditions which pre- vail in Arkansas require the growing of winter cover crops and the turning under of green manure crops In a general way, good type of rotation will be as follows: One or two years of cultivated crops (cover crops plant pd in the fall), the next year small grain crop followed by cowpeas and soy beans.

FARM HELP.

The farmers of North Dakota will be
given additional federal aid this year in
securing harvest help. A special feder.
al agent is now working IN cooperation
with B. +. Flint of the state department
of labor at Bismarck. This agent is in
close touch with agents in other states
to- the east and south, and as the har.
vest work is completed in those sections,
will assist in moving the lapor from
those sections to places where they are
needed in this state.
The effectiveness of this work will de.
pend much upon the accuracy with
which the department is informed as to
the needs of each specific section. Com.
mercial and Farmers Clubs are asked to
help in this work. Careful attention to
these matters at once will save much
loss to communities by distributing the
labor where it is most needed.
Application blanks will be furnished
upon request to the Department Of La.
Dor at Bismarck. and when these are re.
turned the department will place help
as rapidly as possible.
