The body is expected in the city

Prominent Buffalo Farmer
Died at St. Paul Sunday

Fargo, Sept. civilian H. Lackey
of Buffalo, commissioner of Cass c0un
ty, died Sunday morning at sanitar
ium in St. Paul after an illness Of
about year. The body passed through
the city last night for the late home
in Buffalo, where the funeral will be
held this afternoon at o'clock from
the Presbyterian church. Interment
will be in the Buffalo cemetery.
The deceased was born In England
in 1854, 81 years of age, and was one
Of the early settlers of Cass county
His wife died about five years ago.
He is survived by four children, two
boys, Ernest and William, and two
girls, Mary, who is at home, and Mrs,
John Macdonald, of Souris.
Mr.. Lackey had been county com
missioner for nearly four years. He
began ailing about year ago and last
fall went to the old home in England
hoping that it would benefit his
health. He returned to his home at
Buffalo this spring.
On July 3 he was taken suddenly
worse He was rushed to st. Paul and
had been under treatment there
since.
He was one of the prominent farm.
ers of the county and had owned large
tracts Of land, most of which he had
disposed of in recent years. Several
Fargo people expect to go to the fu.
neral today.

Body Bars
Equity Membership

st. Paul, Sept. 2.-Fundamental
rules governing the organization of the
South st. Paul Live Stock exchange
probably will prevent the Equity Co.
operative exchange from being receiv.
ed as a member Of the stock exchange.
A conference to discuss the appli-
cation Of the Equity for membership
was held today, but no action was
taken. -." A.
The rules which cannot be adjusted
to meet the situation pertain to re-
bates, which are forbidden by he>live
stock exchange, the rule requiring that
an exchange member take out a mem.
bership costing S2,500 for every three
members of the company and that one
out Of every three members be an &C.
tive member on the change.
These regulations would cost q pro
hibitive sum and require at least. 1900
Of their members to be active on the
South st. Paul market.
Following the conference, Fred E.
Osborne, assistant secretary of the
Equity, said his organization would
start business as an independent deal
er Oct. I.

Equity Site Is Again
Under "Ad dviiselae1lt''
for 'Steenth Instance

The Equity committee, consisting
of C. J. Lee, Valley City, P. M. Casey,
Lisbon, and Anthony Walton, Minot,
held a meeting here Monday in the
city hall. This was supposed to be
the final meeting and that the COM
mittee would Immediately announce
their choice of city at which the
plant would be located. However, the
matter has been taken under advise
ment, to use legal term, and it Is
reported that decision will not be
forthcoming before next Monday.
The cities that were most interested
sent representatives to this meeting.
They were Minot, Fargo, Grand Forks
and Mandan.
From 10 o'clock in the morning un-
til in the afternoon the committee
heard the arguments and supple.
mental statistics which were offered
by the various representatives and
adjourned under the conditions as
above stated.
AT this time the committee is non.
committal, although all sorts of ru.
mors are ahoat. The Mandan Pioneer
Is of the opinion that the whole mat.
ter is a frame-up with Fargo as the
carpenter. The Mandan people are
also throwing out a gentle hint now
and then which really is threat, that
in case that city is not awarded the
plant they will build one Of their own.
Minot may do the same thing, and in
that case a plant at Fargo would be
about as good as a dead mackerel.
The weekly times-record. (Valley City, N.D.) 1912-1922, 1916-09-07

With the territory in the western half
of the state grabbed and so near the
South st. Paul industries the plant at
Fargo would practically have to live
on hope and castings. -
This situation may compel the COM
mittee to give the plant to Mandan,
but it would not be because of the fit
ness of things. We still contend that
Valley City is the logical point, and
If located here there would be no need
Of plants at MinOt and Mandan, be-
cause there are main line railroads di-
rect from here to those points. With
Fargo it is different, and the Equity
people will have to take this into con-
sideration or run the risk of having
their plant outplanted.
The contingent that represented
Fargo at the meeting Monday made a
sorry showing. They had no site to
offer, and very little else. They evi-
IDENTIFY banked on their power to con-
troll the committee rather than to gain
a decision on the merits of the case.
The fact that Fargo is striving to cor
ner the industries of the state is be-
ginning to be felt, and the other cities
are rising up in opposition. This is
simply an instance of a case of the
opposition that will come in the form
of other plants in case Fargo gets the
award. AS far as Valley City is con-
cerned, the business men and citizens
are not worrying. They have the
goods, have made a magnanimous of.
Ter, and expect a square deal,

son, attorney and land and loan man,
Of this city, has bought of P. w. Miller,
president of the Minot Auto company,
III head of full-blood, registered Short
horn cattle. This is the largest full
blood cattle sale to one party ever

cash. Mr.. Halverson is placing these
cattle on his ranch Is miles southeast

one Of the finest punches of cattle that
it is possible for one to buy; and with
his fine ranch, well located as to water
and feed, Mr.. Halverson5 will stand as
among the Argest breeders Of Short
horns in the state.
Mr.. Miller Is not going out Of the
cattle business, but as stated by him
year ago, he was going out OF the
wheat raising business.
Mr.. Miller received for IL head Of
calves, two to four months old, 1,7uo.
There is no question but what Il pays
to raise fllllblood urthorn cattle.

VALUE OF CROP DIvERsIFIcATloN

Grand Forks, Sept. "A striking
illustration of the value of crop diver
siication is shown in the wheat fields
obtained on the farm of J. L. Huard of
Merrifeld. ....
In threshing his wheat crop recent
ly, Mr.. Huard obtained yield of 1S
bushels on patch Of about 80 acres
which the previous year had grown
potatoes. Just alongside this patch a
yield of between five and ten bushels
was harvested on ground which had
been cropped with small grains in
1915.
This is a remarkable illustration of
the value of crop diversifcation, and
illustrates what an intelligent diversi-
fication can accomplish on Red River
valley lands.
