CAN'T BLAME HIGH "
COST ON FARMERS

Chicago, Nov. 18.-Chicag0 grain
men and students of crop conditions
here today contradicted a charge made
by Joseph Hartigan, commissioner of
weights and measures in New York
that western farmers had under esti-
mated their crop reports to the fed
eral government and forced up the
price of foOdstuffs.
"The attack of Mr.. Hartigan on the
honesty of the American farmer and
the reliability Of the American crop
reporting system is just about as far
from the truth of the situation as his
statement a few weeks ago that the
Board of Trade had bought up all the
wheat in the country and were making
the high cost to the consumer" said
George p. Griffins, president of the
Chicago Board of Trade.
Both statements show that the
gentleman has not studied, the crop
conditions to any degree worthy of
consideration" ..r
Millard r. Meyers, editor of the
American Cooperative Journal, official
publication for a number of farmers
also criticised the state
ment of Mr. Hartigan.

say that there is any concerted action
among farmers either honest or dis
honest that governs the movement of
their grains or making up the crop re.

BURLEIGH COUNTY BUILT
148 MILES OF NEW ROAD
THIS SEASON-GRAVELINC

j. W. Friddle, superintendent of
road-making operations for the Bur-
leigh county commission, has laid up
his equipment for the winter, except.
ing only the new elevating grader,
which has some work to finish this
side of the Mckenzie slough
Burleigh county in 1916 built 14S
miles of new country road and re-
dressed 50 to 40 miles Of old high
way. The record for new road-mak-
ing does not compare with that for
1915, when 172 miles were construct
ed. 1t is the general opinion, how.
ever, that better roads have been
built this year. 1t is also true that
the extreme wetness Of spring and
early summer made it impossible for
the commission to get the heavy
tractors and graders into service un-
til very late. The soil worked this
year, too, waA the most difficult to be
found in the county, sufficient rock
having been picked from the road
way in the northeast portion of the
county to surface, if crushed, every
mile of highway built in that region.
Crawling the county highways will
be the next advanced step taken by
the Burleigh commission, it is pre-
dicted. There probably is not a
stretch of road in the county which
could not be surfaced from pits with.
in distance of two miles. The cost,
it ID claimed, would not be great, and
the result would be the best general
purpose highways to be found in the
state. Under their present condition,
the turnpikes are excellent in dry
weather, but they are the de'irs own
mess in wet.
