S0RLIE WANTS
BEE EXCHANGE
Would Make North Dakota
Center of HOney-Packing
Industry

Valley City, Aug. 31.-"Why can't
North Dakota honey be marketed un-
der standardized name, from some
North Dakota point where bee ex-
change can be established
This was the question asked last
night by Gov. A. G. Sorlie. in an in
terview.
Governor Sorlic has, before this
time, expressed great interest in the
bee industry in the state, and has
often talked of the possibilities of
the industry. He has been in con-
ference with Prof. Il. l.. Webster,
head Of the entomology department
at the state Agricultural College, on
the subject, and the suggested es-
tablishment of bee exchange in
Fargo was the result of this con-
versation.
At the present time, according to
the executive, bee raisers in the state
are shipping their product to Mime
apolis and other trade centers whe re
it is repacked, labeled and returned
to this state for consumption. The
suggested bee exchange in Fargo
would eliminate this duplicating of
express costs, and would also es-
tablish the industry more firmly in
the state, the executive believes.
"Why not standardize North Dako-
ia honey?" Gov. Sorlie asked. "1t
could be done very easily if every
producer would adopt a trade name
uniform throughout the state
and add the name of the town from
which the product is shipped. !
would suggest the name Cream of
Honey To this could be added the
name Of the town in which the honey
was derived from the bees. Honey
from Armenia would become Cream
of Honey, packed in Amenia,' and
honey from Valley City would be-
come Cream of Honey, packed in
Valley City"
Prof. Webster, of the Agricultural
College, who is also state Bee In
spector. agreed with the governor
that such plan would undoubtedly
prove successful in North Dakota, as
at present there is duplication of
shipment costs, to and from the Twin
Cities. North Dakota honey is a high
class, clear and light colored pro-
duct 'and sells as premium honey.
If the establishment of an exchange
in Fargo could center the industry
in the state-as Mr.. Sorlie believes
it would-Webster favors the plan.

FREIGHT RATES
ON COAL DEFY
BUSINESS RULE
Commerce Commission
Decides Schedules Shall
Remain Same.
Times Washinoton Bureau,


WASHINGTON, Aug. 14.-Com-
rilercial coal shipped from the Pitts
burgh district to Toledo, 279 miles,
takes the same freight rate as that
applying from other coal areas as
far south as the McRoberts district
in Kentucky, 457 miles away.
Despite this seeming disregard of
plain business sense, the Interstate
Commerce Commission has just de-
cided that existing freight rates on
coal shall be continued.
1t was a six to five decision, how
ever.
COMPLAINT against existing rates
was brought by miners and oper-
ators in the Pittsburgh and Ohio
districts. They contended present
rates are unduly beneficial to oper-
ators in West Virginia and Ken
lucky who are able to ship their
coal to the lakes at virtually the
same rates charged operators who
are nearer the mines. One result Is
the Ohio mines are idle much OF
the time and miners are suffering
from lack Of employment.
McChord Dissents
These conditions were pointed out
in the plea for a readjustment OF
rates, but ignored by the majority
of the commissioners.
Commissioner McChord in a dis
genting opinion declared that south
Tern Ohio is entitled to the advan-
Htages of geographical location. Pres
ent rates, he said, deprive the Pitts
burgh and Ohio districts Of benefits
due them.
Commissioner Eastman, IN
lengthy dissenting opinion, denied
the contention that distances must
be ignored in order to give West
Virginia and Kentucky fields access
to northwestern markets and in
sure a reasonable price for coal in
these markets
Production in the Ohio and Penn
sylvania fields, he held, is not
monopolized and the supply VASTLY
exceeds the demand
Eastman Cites Facts
IF the northwestern markets
were dependent for their coal up
on these districts alone. 1t would
not eliminate competition. It
might actually result in lower
prices because of the better opera
ting conditions which would result
in those districts from a /etrength-
ened demand" Eastman said.
But, as a matter of fact, If the
northwestern markets were de-
prived of access to Kentucky and
West Virginia coal they would not
be dependent upon the Ohio and
Pennsylvania districts alone, but
would continue to enjoy the sharp
competition of the many Illinois
field where, also, production is not
n1onopolized and the supply exceeds
the demand.
'It is wholly fallacious to assume
that more competition IS needed to
reduce the price of bituminous coal.
fWhat is needed is clearly steady
production at the mines and also
a reduction in the present gross
waste of transportation in the
movement of the coal to the mar
ket."
