FORD FACTORIES CLOSE

Detroit-One hundred thousand EN-.

throughout the country will be with.
out jobs after September 16. In addi-
tion, several hundred thousand other
workers employed in industries fur.

Henry Ford gave these figures out
in announcing that his three big mo.

and his assemblying plants. through
out the country would be closed on
that date because of coal shortage.
The announcement was the most
severe blow that Detroit has sustain.

to Mr.. Ford, that $4,000 men employ.
ed in the plants of the company here
will be without work. Thirty thou

ACT TO MEET SITUATION
Coal Will Not Be Consigned to indi.

! Commission, Who Will
Reconsign II.

Bismarck, N. D.-Supplies of anthra-
cite and bituminous coal In the state
are practically exhausted. Wholesal-
ers can give no guarantees of delivery
on orders placed. An appeal will have
to be made to the federal fuel director.
These are the results Of survey
just completed and announced by the
state railroad commission, acting as
state fuel directors.
The survey was made through the
cooperation Of dealers, Ignite miners
and by communication with wholesal-
ers In Minnesota and Wisconsin.
Many institutions in this state are
not equipped to burn Ignite.
The board of railroad commission
ers is taking steps to meet the situa-
tion and will have representatives at
the Minnesota docks, who will remain
there until the emergency has passed.
Applications to the federal director
must be made through the railroad
commission, which supplies blanks for
the purpose. The coal will not be
consigned to individuals, but to the
railroad commission, which will make
reconsignments.
Guarantees Of payment must be
made either through deposit of funds
sufficient to cover cost in the CONSUME
er's bank or through the securing of a
loan, sufficient to pay for coal when
loaded ut the mines.
There is no anthracite for distrlbu-
ton now, the board announces. In
this connection new prospective Ignite
consumers are referred to a treatise on
4ignite prepared by request of Dean
'Babcock of the University School of

FARMERS ARE FACING RUIN
Farmers and Businessmen Realize
4 Menace to Wheat Country.

Fargo, N. D.-The most important
question the congress Of the United
States can give its attention to at this
time is the passing of law guaran-
feeing the price of wheat at not less
than 81 per bushel, the act to become
effective ;nr ediately.
Present Prices Spell Ruin.
The present prices not only spell
ruin and bankruptcy for more than
half the farmers, but a loss bordering
upon ruin and bankruptcy for all
wheat growers.
That is not all. If with this crop,
the best grown in Is years, farmers
cannot make profit, it means that no
further attempt will be made to grow
wheat. And that would mean famine
in this. country.
The brazen robbery which the help
less producers Of North Dakota are
compelled to submit to at this time is
a crime against society and a disgrace
ITO civilized country. There is neither
reason no rexcuse for it-other than
the desire Of those who have the power
to enrich themselves at the expense of
those. who are helpless -hopelessly in
debt and at the mercy of the man who
says "pay me!'

to Keep In Mind.
prepared by the United state. Department

prepared by the United States Department
OF AEriculture)
The merits Of the consignment meth
cd and the straight-sales method Of
marketing hay are discussed In Farm
ers' Bulletin 1866, Business Methods
Of Marketing Hay, by G. A. Collier,
recently issued by the United States
Department of Agriculture. In addi-,
ton, chapters are devoted to trade
rules, when and where to sell hay,,
billing and invoicing shipments, and
loss and damage claims. Explanations
are given therein for some Of the
principal trade terms and suggestions
are offered as to how the various aids
to marketing may be applied by the
producer or shipper.
Two Methods Explained.
The consignment method consists in.
shipping to brokers or commission
merchants, who act as the shipper's
representative in selling his hay on
the market. BY the straight-sales
method the shipper sells hts hay at a.
fixed price, either at the point Of ship.
ment or point Of destination at Ger.
tain specified time. The shipper must
consider conditions and decide which
method is the more advantageous to
use, for the method that may be, ad-
vantageous one week may be not at
all profitable the next.
1t is important to know the prefer
ences Of the various markets, for it
is the buyers preference that prevails.
In general, New England and Eastern
markets prefer large Eve or six-wire
bales weighing from 175 to 215 pounds.
Southeastern, Southern, and South.
western markets prefer small two or
Sioux County pioneer., 1922-09-07

three-wire bales weighing from IS to
100 pounds, and ranging in size from
IA by 1e inches to II by % inches by
about SO to, 48 inches In length. In
The Central Western markets the II by
:.::1,-incll bale is probably the most gem
srally used. and on the Pacific Coast
both this size and the large bale pre-
vail almost exclusively.
To avoid differences between buyer
t:nd seller it>is suggested that few
Dimple rules be kept in mind. The
seller should state clearly all neces-
sary factors, including quality and
quantity Of hay, tiWe at or within
which shipment can be made, routing,
rates, price, and terms Of payment.
All sales should be confirmed by let
ter, stating all terms included in the
original offer. When confirmation is
received from the buyer any items
that appear incorrect should be cor
rected Immediately. Since much Of
such business is transacted by tele-
phone or telegraph brevity is neces-
sary, but a few extra words will often
save much trouble and money. Sam
pie kilograms covering various con-
ditions are given in the bulletin.
Best Time 70 Market.
The time Of marketing makes q
great deal Of difference in the price
received for hay. Statistics compiled
by the department and tabulated in
this publication show that for a Pc
riod of ten years ending in 1921 the
highest average prices at two large
markets were reached in April for
prairie and alfalfa hay, and in May
for timothy. The months Of highest
price are just before the new crop
begins to come on the market.
Hay producers and shippers, says
the bulletin. should secure all the il.
formation possible bearing on the mar.
keting Of hay. They may keep we'll
informed BY watching the reports pre-.
pared periodically by the Department
Of Agriculture. Copies Of the bulletin
may be obtained by addressing the de.

No Weak Spots in Trade

NEW ORLEANS, January 4-The
annual inventory and stock-takinE
period has not uncovered any weak

of the caution with which merchants
