FARM BUREAU rFAv0Rs
COOPERATIVE MARKETING
Kenmeaoick Cos.rier-Reporter

AS the result of its annual meet
ing held here Monday and Tuesday,
the State Farm Bureau federation
which was threatened with Sisrup-
ton due to internal strife will 90
forward in 1924 as united body and
with complete change of admins
tratior.
The controversy which existed be-
tween two factions aligned on the
one side with President Soren Sor-
renson and Secretary w. H. Talley
on the other, was settled By skill
full maneuvering of peacenakers the
fight was not carried to the floor
of the convention and the differences
were composed in conference.
AS compromise settlement Mr..
/ Talley resigned as of December o.
1923 with the understanding that
there was to be a thorough house
cleaning no one of the former offic-
ers to be elected and that Walla
Walla, Whitman, Yakima, Skagit
and Spokane counties were to have
representation on the executive COM
mittee but that no one of them was
to have more than one member.
Carrying out this agreement W.
G. Cordiner of Walla Walla was
elected president, and Peter Omdahl
of Skagit, vice president. The fol
lowing were chosen as members Of
the executive committee, A. A. Kel-
ly, Spokane; Fred Rodgers, Whit
man; F. A. Norton, Yakima; Thomas
! Anderson, Pierce; H. Delaney, Co.
lu1nbia.
The meeting adjourned Tuesday
evening but the newly elected execu-
tive committee held sessions Tuesday
night and Wednesday morning tc
outline the coming years work. Pres
ident Cordiner will select secretary
to succeed Mr.. Ta1ley and federation
headquarters will be moved from
Spokane to Walla Walla.
The keynote OF the discussions car
4 we'll be said to have been cooper.
ating marketing OF farm products ane
the federation in the adoption of res
buttons presented by Lee NJ. Lamp
son, chairman of last years market
ing committee, again pledged it!
support to the establishment of com
modify cooperative organizations OF
long term pooling contracts. 1t ell
dorsed the action of the State Cham
Der of Commerce in calling the ap
pie marketing conference now in ses
sion in Yakima and pledged its &C
tive support to whatever marketing
plan is set up by the conference
provided it involves the long tern
pooling contract and organizations
owned and controlled by the growers
or a central selling agency through
which existing cooperative apple as
sociations will operate.
Another outstanding resolution wa.
the denunciation of the Portland
Chamber of Commerce for its oppo
sition to the proposed government
wheat export commission. The reso-
luton charges that the Portland
Chamber is dominated by Portland
Grain dealers and calls upon mem
bers of the farm bureau and all per.
sons interested in the movement te

FORT YATES
COUNTRY Is
INTERESTING
BY the Rock Formation 1t Is
Believed To Have Been
Under the Ocean

Fort Yates, Sept. 22.-Interestine
evidence of the changes wrought by
time in this section of the state, and
which may be taken as typical of
similar changes throughout the
world, may be found seven miles
southwest of Fort Yates. Here there
is stratum OF rock so or 60 feet
thick composed of the shells Of some
variety of molluck, filled and ce-
mented together with pebbles and
sand.
Ages ago what is now prairie was
the bottom of sea, and at this one
place, southwest of Yates, conditions
must have been ideal for the growth
Of the shell fish which reproduced
itself here in countless numbers. AS
each generation grew and died
leaving their shells where they had
lived, the moving waters slowly de-
posted sand and silt among them,
until at the end of centuries the
thick bed was formed.
Time and pressure converted the
mass into rock which, the waters
having receded, may today be seen
more than a thousand feet above
the level of the ocean, mute evil
dence of the conditions existing
here before humanity came upon the
earth.
The time may come when this de-
posit of shells will be of value, for
the phosphorus they contain.

FIRE DESTROYS
HEGER BARN

Williston, Sept. 22.-Fire destroyed
the barn on the Geo. Heger farm
four miles south and two miles east
of Surrey Tuesday forenoon, the loss
being estimated at nearly $4,000.
This was one of the finest barns in
that district. It was built in. 1909
and was 36x7O feet.
The barn was filled with hay. Some
chickens and one sheep were burned,
together with the usual contents to
be found in large barn.
A large granary near by, complete
ly filled with grain nearly burned,
but was saved by the neighbors who
formed bucket brigade.
A threshing crew had slept in the
barn and two men who did not 60 to
work that morning, had remained in
the structure after the others left.
No one knows what caused the fire.
1t may have been started by smokers.

RAILROAD TO

st. Paul, Sept. Redistribution of
a carload of registered Holstein bulls
on farms throughout North Dakota
and Montana will be begun within IL
week, by the Great Western rail-
way, Daniel E. willard, director of

The purpose of this activity is to

the highest type of Holstein breed
ing in America and were purchased
by President Ralph Budd in Wash
ington.
A farmers meeting for the discus
sion of dairy farming will be arrang-
ed at each point where one of the
bulls is to be given, and the animal
will be given to some farmer select
ed by local committee in each To-
cality. A. contract to be made with
the farmer provides that the bull
shall not be sold or disposed of
within a period Of three years, but
may be exchanged at the end of two
years for bull of the same breed.

.SHAFER URGES
Nd. BANK LAWS
BE TIGHTENED
Attorney General Declares
There Are Too Many Loop
Holes at Present
OTHER CHANGES URGED
Present System Gives Too
Much Protection to Wrong
DOer, He Says

Recommendations, understood to
be based to some extent upon in
formation obtained through the
grand jury investigation into the
Scandinavian American Bank affairs,
are made by Attorney-General
George Shafer, in which he partic-
ularly urges that the Legislature
make more stringent laws relating
to the conduct of banks in the state.
"The recent experience in bank
closings in this state has disclosed
a number Of weaknesses in the
banking laws, and it would seem that
such laws, particularly in SO far
as they relate to the conduct Of
officers, should be pretty thoroughly
revised and strengthened in num-
ber Of instances" says the Attorney
General, in his bienniel report.
Certain crimes, now defined by
law, should be more definitely and
more clearly specified, and, in many
instances, more severe penalties
should be provided for their vio-
lation," he continues. "The statutes
defining the crimes of falsifying en-
tries in bank books, making false
reports to the Banking Department,
manipulating the bank records, etc,
should be revised and clarified. The
statute regulating the character Of
the loans by banking corporations to
the officers and directors should be
amended so as to strictly limit, if
not absolutely prohibit such loans,
and imposing severe penalties for
the violation thereof. The present
laws on that subject are wholly in
adequate, and many state banks have
come to financial grief on account
thereof. Likewise, the law prohibit
ing the making Of loans to individ-
uals or corporations should be made
more stringent in it's terms, and
more comprehensive in its scope"
Too Many Boards
The Attorney-General, citing the
many boards he is made member
of and also the many legal duties
placed upon him recommends that
the Attorney General be relieved
from acting on all boards except the
pardon board. He repeats a recon-
mendation of his predecessor that
the legislature provide special coun-
sci to handle public utility cases for
the railroad commission. With the
expansion of state supervision,
through the board of railroad COM
missioners, over public utilities, he
points out, much litigation of a
special technical character results,
and he adds that the ordinary prac-
