is now going N. He reports taking in
about 5000 bushels in September and
1900 bushels so far this month. He
has been paying from 81 up to BLOB for
wheat, of late. Kitchell is out of coal.
There is no coal at the Boston ele-
vator just now, but they are looking
for some from day to-day. Boston re-
ports the last of the wheat put in on

Ruling on Live Stock Sales
The bureau of the Packers and
Stockyards Administration at Wash
ington has made final ruling in rela-
ton to the Producers Commission as
sociations, instituted by the farm bu-
reau. The ruling is that refunds may
be made only to members; also that
only bona fide growers of live stock
are entitled to membership. Also that
the administration is not concerned
with the amount of the membership
fee, so long as ii is uniform as be-
tween members of the same class.
It is also provided that membership
does not exist, unless bona fide appli-
cation for same be made and accept
ance follows. No. of the provisions
relates to shipping associations, and is
important. 1t states:
That membership cannot be had by
shipping associations, but that ship
ping associations may act as agents
for live stock producers in making ap-
plication for membership. That ship
ping associations acting as agents
must present list of names and ad-
dresses of members.
We have printed rule five in full, for
the information of the managers of
our live stock shipping associations,
which are acting for all the shippers
whose live stock they handle. II is
not unlikely, however, that the Pro
Queer associations will furnish coun-
try shipping associations complete re
ports of the action at Washington. at
an early date. 1t would then follow
that the shipping associations would
compile a list of the members and file
same at market points, in compliance
| with the new ruling, as above.
