A JUG-HANDLED CONTRACT
Commissioner of Agriculture Warns
Against Advanced Sales

The following warning to shippers
of potatoes and other farm products
is sent out by N j. Holmberg, Com
missioner of Agriculture:
The Minnesota State Department
of Agriculture desires to call the at
tention or potato growers and grow
tention of potato growers and grow
ly dishonest
In previous years it has been
common thing for men representing
themselves either under the name of
some commission firm, usually from
out the state, or else operating di-
rectly in their own name to go among
the farmers and enter into contract
for the purchase and delivery on
track of potatoes or other farm pro-
ducts of similar character. The es-
sential fact about this agreement is
that it binds the grower to deliver
his produce to the buyer at a certain
fixed price, and this contract is
against him enforceable. The buyer
is similarly bound to buy at a GER
tain fixed price, but when market
conditions bring the price below that
guaranteed in the contract he fails
to show up and the grower is I'M
able to recover; in some cases deliv-
cry has been made on a consignment
basis, and the grower having lost
possession of his crop, has extreme
difficulty in recovering, if in fact he
gets any return at all.
Growers are advised that such
transactions are unbusiness like and
undesirable unless the dealer making
such a contract has an established
place of business within the state,
is licensed as a commission merchant
by the state, and is bonded to the
state for the performance of his
contracts. Otherwise the grower
has no way to enforce the fulfillment
of the sales agreement. On the
other hand, the buyer can enforce
such contract whenever it is to
his advantage to do so. So far as
the farmer is concerned a contract
of this sort amounts to a guarantee
to deliver whenever he will lose
money by delivering.
When approached by anyone de-
string to enter into such a contract,
find out by writing or wiring the
State Department of Agriculture
whether he or his concern is a Ii
censed commission merchant and
whether he can and will guarantee
to carry out his share in the trans
action. State exactly in such re-

9 STATES JOIN RATE WAR
Bureau Federation and Commissions
To Combat Freight Increases

Pocketbooks of Minnesota farmers
are being protected by the Farm Blu
reau's traffic experts in a new rail-
road rate case involving 100000
a year.
G. B. Hutchings, traffic manager
of the American Farm Bureau Fed
Grafton, came to Minnesota to confer
with representatives of the state rail-
road commissions Of nine grain pro-
ducing states, and lay plans for COM
batting an attempt by the roads to
wipe out the existing 10 percent
rate differential on coarse grain.
When the Interstate Commerce COM
mission last winter ordered sweep
ing reductions in freight rates on
hay, wheat and coarse grain, it
fixed rates on coarse grain ten per-
cent lower than those on wheat.
Farm Bureau traffic experts estimate
that this ten percent difference
means a saving of at least 100000
to American farmers raising coarse

grains. 1t is this ten percent rate
difference which the roads now seek
to wipe out.
Representatives of the American
Farm Bureau federation and the
railroad commissions of Minnesota,
Wisconsin, Iowa, South Dakota,
North Dakota, Missouri, Kansas,
Nebraska and Oklahoma met in st.
Paul to decide just what part each
should take in fighting the rate in
crease. The railroads attempt to
raise rates will be strenuously OPP
posed.

FARMERS WATCH BLUE SKY"
County Bureaus To Foil Worthless
Investment Schemes

Establishment of a farmers blue
sky" committee by every county
Farm Bureau which has not already
formed such protective body will be
urged by the Minnesota Farm Bureau
federation in an official communica-
ton to county Farm Bureau boards,
according to information received
here.
A recent decision of the state SUI
preme court, the warning will say,
has pulled the teeth out of the state
blue sky" law, by exempting actual
owners of securities from jurisdic-
tion Of the state securities commits
sion, declaring that stocks once sold
can be sold again by the purchaser
without the commissions approval,
and even in spite of it's disapproval.
In several Minnesota counties, the
Farm Bureau has maintained blue
sky" committee, composed of three
or four leading farmers. Farm bu-
reau members have been urged to
decline to put any money into secur-
tiles, oil lands and leases, or similar
promotion schemes, until the sales
man had submitted his proposition
to the Farm Bureau blue sky COM
mittee. Such committees have is
sued warnings to farmers against
manifestly unsound schemes, and in
cases, Farm Bureau officers say, have
blocked stock selling schemes in
counties where the farmers blue
sky" committee believed the securi-
ties offered were worthless.

IN STEP WITH PROGRESS
C. F. Kirk Was Pioneer in Alfalfa
and Sweet Clover Raising in
This County

While others we're cursing sweet
clover as a weed about dozen years
back, c. F. Kirk, living northeast
of Morris, was thinking the weed"
was a money crop and acting &C
cordingIy. AS result today he does
not think that there is any legume
that will improve the ground as
much as sweet clover will and uses
it extensively to inoculate the
ground. He sows five or six pounds
of sweet clover with his alfalfa, IL
to IS pounds to acre, with the result
that the sweet clover inoculates the
ground for alfalfa and the second
year after the sweet clover is cut II
is killed leaving roots which decay
and form plant food for the alfalfa
Mr.. Kirk came up here from north
east Nebraska because he could get
practically four acres of land here
for what one cost him down there
and so far he has been able to raise
crops acre for acre with that of Ne
braska on his land here. Since that
time he has been pioneering in
sweet clover and alfalfa as we'll as
several other crops. A year ago he
decided to take a turn with Mintur-
XII wheat He summer fallowed
piece of ground and sowed the grain
the goth of August. He got nice
stand in the fall and after the
ground had frozen gave it light
mulch of manure and straw. While
thi sdid not hold the snow it pre-
vented thawing until the general
thaw in the spring. The result has
been an excellent crop of winter
wheat which a number of exper-
fenced men have seen and declared
would run from 80 to 35 bushels to
the acre when threshed. Mr.. Kirk
is now preparing a similar piece OF
ground to SOW next month. He be-
lieves that if rs bushels per acre
can be gotten by mulching the
ground it is a paying proposition.
In 1913 Mr.. Kirk bought car
load of pure bred Angus cattle which
proved profitable for few years of
until the war but with the price of
beef the way it has been since the
war he has found it improbable to
raise beef cattle and has disposed of
his beef animals and turned to the
dairy COW. He figures that with pas
ture, alfalfa, and corn silage he
is pretty we'll fixed to produce milk
and raise pigs He uses soy beans
with his silage and is a firm believer
in the pit silo maintaining that it is
the only si1o because of it's small
initial cost as compared to others,
that it will never blow down or burn
up and the silage never freezes.
Mr. Kirk has good success with
his hogs and has an ideal pasture
for the porkers. He has $50 acres
in pasture of his 640-acre farm.
The pasture is fenced hog-tight and
has enough oak trees in it to produce
two or three hundred bushels Of
acorns each year for his hogs. He
has about 90 hogs this year which
are doing well. With what he put
in this year Mr.. Kirk has so acres of
alfalfa, and so acres of corn for sill
age.
Mr.. Kirk has been a pioneer work
er for the Farm Bureau in the county
and has devoted much time and
effort towards it's maintenance and
continuation. He is at present pres
ident of the county Farm Bureau or
ganization and believes whole-heart-
eddy that the Farm Bureau is one of
the farmers most valuable assets.

The ministry of Lloyd George in
England is about to be challenged
once more. The cause of the new
election is the Near East policy and
the concessions to Turkey. The min
istry has already withstood several
attempts to force a resignation, due
to the fact, largely, that it is a coali-
tion cabinet. 1t cannot continue in
definitely, but it has been highly sue
cesGful not only in carrying England
through the war but in meeting the
hard problems of the reconstruction.
Lloyd George is a good politician as
well as a statesman, and will not easi-
ly be overturned. The most probable
successor in case of change is Austin
Chamberlain.
