GRAIN GRADE FIGHT
State of Minnesota, Blocked by Fed
eral Law, Seeks New Standards
Through Legislation.
Farm Bureau Agents in Washington
Testifying Before House Com
mittee on Agriculture.

St. Paul, June 30.-Minnesota farm
ers and other spring wheat producers
have carried their fight for grain grade
changes straight to congress.
Provisions of federal transportation
laws, coupled and threatened with
railroad congestion if state grades
should be adopted, caused the state
board of grain appeals to ignore the
legislatures resolution instructing it
to restore old Minnesota grades. In
stead, it adopted federal standards.
Officers of the Minnesota Farm Bu-
rcau federation at once took the fight
to congress. Representatives of the
state federation, together with Minnc-
sofa legislators and railroad and ware
house commission experts, are in
Washington this week. They are tcs-
tifying before the house committee on
agriculture in an effort to obtain pas
sage of the Stecncrson grain-grading
bill. This bill would give the spring
wheat producers the changes they
want, while doing away with dual
standards and leaving grades for other
parts of the country unchanged.

Farmer and Miller.

Whether the impressive argument Of
Mr. A. L. Goetzmann, president of the
Millers National federation, before the
Tri-State Grain Shippers association
in behalf Of the milling industry solves
the marketing problem or not, the con-
siderations he presents ought to make
a strong appeal to the farmers re-
gardless of his apprehensions con-
corning the plans of the farmers for
better system Of marketing their
grain.
We can see no necessary difficulties
between the accomplishment of the
ends he aims at and the bttterment of
methods for placing the farmers grain
products upon the market It is true
that the farmers marketing plans
usually contemplate handling facili-
ties calculated to move the grain for
ward to the ultimate market with the
least obstruction or delay. The pur-
pose of the farmer in this undertaking
IS to eliminate middlemen and protect
himself from the manipulation of the
price of his product through pure spec
ulation, but the farmer ought to be in
entire sympathy with the argument
which Mr.. Goctzmann makes for the
milling of his product as near home

n"ers, Fourth Division, who found a
rare Roman coin that is perhaps worth
several hundred dollars.
While looking for a safe and soft
spot in the ruins of an old house near
Sergy, France, Corporal Foster, now
peace-lOving member Of the Ameri-
can Legion in Cottage Grove. Ore,
found an old gilt case containing a
coin. He thrust it into his pack and
recently turned it over to a college
professor who pronounced it worth
more than it's weight in gold Its date
is 3O6 A. D. On one side it bears the
inscription "Magnus," the title given
the Emperor Constantine. On the 9TH
er side are the inscriptions "Voties
Xxx" "Beatas Tranquilitas," and
"Percursa Treveris." The latter
words, the professor declares, indi-
cate that the coin was minted in Trier,
Germany, formerly a seat of the Ro-
man empire.

as possible. Experience has proven
that this creates for him a better
price to begin with, it creates an in
dustry which is to his advantage in
many respects not necessary to emu
mcrate, while it is of very great i'm
portancc to him to retain within his
reach the by-products of the milling
process, which the farmer needs in
his business. If he is going to be a
diversified farmer, as he ought to be,
he needs and must have for his use
the by-products of bran, shorts and
low grade flour, which arc almost in
d;spens2ble to the producer Of dairy
products and the raiser of livestock
of all kinds.
Instead, therefore, of "greasing the
ways" for the export of wheat, the
farmer ought to be Interested in the
manufacture of it at home and so
direct his marketing machinery as to
promote that result. He ought, also,
to be equally interested with the mil
Ter in obtaining and maintaining
reasonable freight rates on flour for
export or domestic distribution. Nor
is there anyone naturally moro SYM
pathetic with the farmer in the secur-
ing of a good price for his grain prod
uct thar the miller. A stiff, stable
market is a better condition for him
than weak and unstable one wholly
controlled by foreign conditions and
the state Of foreign markets.
Viewed from the standpoint of an
outsider, it would seem as if the mu-
tuality of interests of the miller and
the grain grower ought to encourage
them to cooperate for their common
benefit and that the contemplated
plans Of the farmers 20 procure better
market conditions ought not to con-
fict in the least with the efforts of the
miller to promote an industry so es-
sential to the grain grower, and so
much more serviceaDle to him when
located so as to preserve for him con-
venient access to it's by-products.-

SUBSTITUTE FOR THE
 CORPORATION COMMISSION

Little Rock, Jan. 17.-Just as the United States will have membership in the League of Nations. no matter by what name it be known, so will Arkansas have a corporation com mission, even though it bear differ ent title. Governor T. c. McRae has never stated that he would abolish the Arkansas Corporation Commis
 sion absolutely. His statements have been confined to desire to abolish the Arkansas Corporation Commis- sion as now constituted. Governor McRae has informed members of the General Assembly that he has a sub stitute for the corporation commis- sion which will function in a manner similar to the present body. 1t Is doubtful if the people who are ad- vised as to the provisions of the act creating the Arkansas corporation commission desire it abolished The sentiment of the general assembly, especially the Senate, is such that a bill abolishing the commission and not providing substitute would meet quick demise. There may be a spirited fight over secions of the bill to readjust the departments of state, but it would not be surprising to see the changes made without fuss or feathers and those who are looking for the sensational may have to look elsewhere for excitement. While little has been said upon the subject, it is certain that another bill for the removal of the state university to
