Fargo, N. D., March 16-Problems
OF vital Importance to farmers Of

tatoes in 1922 and in coming years
will be discussed at statewide con-
ference open to the general public
at Grand Forks, Friday, March 81,
according to a call issued today by
Director G. w. Randlett of the North
Dakota Extension division.
The tentative program. as outlin-
ed by Mr.. Randlett, includes a re-
port of the special potato market
ing committee; working out of an
extended plan of field inspection and
certification; discussion of the possi-
bility Of improving grading and con-
ditioning practices; making plans
for grading schools next fall; dis
cussiOn of the necessary organiza-
ton for successful production and
efficient marketing, and considera-
tion of ways and means of handling

The letter invites potato associa-
tions to send representatives and In
dividual growers to attend the meet
ing, which will open at a. m. in
the Court House and is planned to be
one-day session. Preliminary re-
ports made by the potato marketing
committee appointed several months
ago by the North Dakota Agricultur-
al College to investigate complaints
made regarding the selling Of the
1921 crop, indicate that the greatest
loss to the farmer is sustained thru
improper preparation of their pro-
duct to meet the demands of the
market. Officers of the state pota-
to growers association and officers
of the North Dakota farm bureau
federation have Joined with the Ex-
tension division Of the College in is,

R. R. COMMISSION
TO TAKE CONTROL
OVER ELEVATORS
Will Assume Jurisdiction Un-
der Law Which Existed
Before Grain Grading Law,
p Which Was Held Invalid by
Supreme Court, Was En-
acted, 5t't@'-,'

Bismarck, N. D., March 22-Spec-
ial-Members of the state railroad
commission, in conference with J. l.
Brady, chief elevator accountant for
the state grain inspector, decided to-
Immediately assume jurisdiction Of
elevators and warehouses under the
law which existed before the grain
grading act. held invalid by the I'm
,ited States Supreme court, was en-
acted. They are acting upon an op-
inion rendered by Acknowledgement
Johnson.
: Just how far the railroad commits
sion will go in it's supervision over
the elevators and grain warehouses
has not been determined. Before
the supervision was transferred to
the grain inspection department
created by the state grain grading
act the commission assumed author
ity over the handling, weighing and
storing of grain. 49,
It has been decided that bonds
given to the grain inspection de-
partment and licenses issued, expir-
ing July /, 1928, will be continued,
The accounting department will be
given additional room in the Bank of
North Dakota building where the
railroad commission has its offices.
The inspection department which
has been under J. A. McGovern is
automatically discontinued thru the
supreme court decision, the railroad
commission holds.
An embarrassing feature in the ad-
ministration of the law is that the
railroad commission will have no
appropriation with which to operate
its new department.. Under the
grain grading fees went into the
treasurer's office and the legisla-
ture appropriated funds for its op-
Grafton. There are no funds which
can be transferred to. the railroad
commission. 49,. :-..,

Waters Sued for Salary H. Claimed
This is the case in which Waters
sued President Townley of the Ma
tional Nonpartisan League for $5,-
900, claiming he had that amount
coming from Townley as salary for
managing the "Sisal Trust. The
Sisal Trust was a concern organized
for the purpose of developing sisal
plantations in Florida. 1t is report
ed to have ceased operations now.
Waters claims that Townley was
the promoter and chief stockholder
in the Sisal Trust and that thousands
OF dollars of Nonpartisan League
money was sunk in the venture.
Townley has so far denied having
any connection with the concern but
the fact that he settled with Waters
rather than go to trial has given
rise to much interested comment
Attorney Simpson represented Mr..
Townley in the Waters case yester-
day and Spalding and Shure of Far
go we're Waters attorneys.

STUTSMAN COUNTY
WHISKEY CASE TO
GO TO HIGH COURT

Bismarck, N. D.. March 16-Spec-
|jal-Harry B. Dunbar, state license
inspector under former Attorney
General Lemke, has applied to the
supreme court for a writ Of certior-
ari directed against District Judge
W. L. Nuessle and Jesse NJ. Gran,
clerk of district court Of Stutsman
county, following Judge Nuessle's
order to Dunbar to appear before
him on March "a and show cause
why he should not be adjudged in
contempt Of court.
Dunbar had been summoned be-
fore Judge Nuessle on March 10 to
answer concerning the possession Of
an automobile and whiskey taken
from whiskey runners in Stutsman
county last summer. One of the
rum runners was killed in running
fight. J. X. Murray, of Mott, attor-
ney for Dunbar. appeared before
Judge Nuessle at jamestown, March
10, but Judge Nuessle refused to re-
gard this as sufficient. Dunbar hav-
ing been summoned.
In his application to the supreme
court Dunbar declares that the au-
tomobile is in garage in Bismarck
where it can be had by the Attorney
Generals license department and
that District Judge Lowe, of Minot,
issued an order for the destruction
OF the carload of whiskey captured.
The two men, who were arrested
in the case, gave bond and forfeited
the bonds by non-appearance.
The controversy over the despo-
sition Of the large Cadillac touring
car and it's thirty-five or forty cases
of Canadian whiskey, captured in
the chase, has attracted considerable
interest in jamestown and Stutsman
county. Several local officers and
deputies took part in the chase and
the runners and the captured car
were broght to jamestown, the car
and whiskey later being removed by
Mr.. Dunbar. Seaman Smith, and 9TH
ers who made up the party of state
officers. The question 'Well, what
became of the whiskey.' has been
heard here many times there ap-
parently being to date, no authorit-
ative answer.
