Agent Must Account on
Basis of Actual Sales

Produce agents in all instances
should account to shippers on the basis
of prices actually received in good
faith from third persons, declares the
bureau of agricultural economics
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, in response to inquiries regard
ing this particular accounting feature
under the Produce Agency act The
bureau bases its position on the fact
that the Supreme Court of the United
States, as well as the state courts,
have held that an agent to sell cannot
sell TO himself
The point has been raised as TO
whether an agent who is making sales
on track, charging therefor a commits
sion of, say, Z per cent, and who takes
part of the contents of the car TO his
own store for sale, must account on
the basis of the price received through
the store, or may account on the
basis of the price received on track
Obviously, under the policy outlined
above, the bureau says, the agent must
price received for sales through the
store for the portion so sold, while
returning on the basis of track price
for the portion actually sold on track
The bureau points out that this does
not compel produce commission mer-
chants to handle produce through their
stores at per cent, or whatever the
track sales commission may be, but
that such merchants are entitled to
the commission that is usual and
proper for sales made through the
store.

Women Take to Flying

Women have taken to the idea of
the exclusively feminine flying school
which was recently opened just out
side of Milan. Italy, by the Aero club
of Milan. There were five candidates
the opening day, and, since then the
number af pupils has greatly in
creased. All the instructors are kept
busy. The first of the % lessons con-
sists in a trial flight as a passenger,
and the pupil is thoroughly coached
until she is able to fly alone in windy
weather when atmospheric conditions
are considered to be not favorable.
Candidates must be at least eighteen
years old, must pass severe medical
test, and must have permission of both
parents, or if married, of the husband,
to fly.

Plenty Pasture
Need Of Geese
Can Be Profitably Raised in
All Parts of the United
States.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agricultural
Abundant pasture of sort that is
tender and remains green for long
period is the most economical basis
for the raising of geese. A stream
or pond, or even tanks of water may
serve for the aquatic needs of the
birds, and shelter may be reduced to
a minimum. In the South none Is
required and in the North simple
shed open TO the south is sufficient.
Geese can be raised successfully and
profitably in all parts of the United
States, but are more abundant in the
Middle West and the South. In 1920
Illinois with nearly 100000 geese
closely followed by Missouri, Arkan-
sas and Iowa led in production of
geese. Kentucky, Tennessee, Mime
sofa, North Carolina and Texas fol-
lowed. but this group of states was
much behind the four leaders.
Closest Grazers.
Geese subsist largely on grass dur
ing the growing season and are the
closest of grazers," says Alfred r.
Lee, author of Farmers Bulletin 767-
f, Goose Raising" just published in
a revised edition by the United States
Department of agriculture. Geese
grow to much heavier weights than
chickens, but the price per pound on
the markets is usually several cents
less than for chickens. Some of the
geese are sold from the farms to spe-
cialists in the fattening of the birds,
and then 90 to market, largely in the
cities where foreign population Gre
ates demand.
Principal Breeds.
The bulletin describes the principal
breeds of geese found in the United
States, the Toulouse, Emden, African,
Chinese, Wild or Canadian and Egyp-
tian. 1t gives directions for housing,
selection and mating, incubation, care
and feeding of the gOslings, and prep
aratiOn of stock for market. An acre
of grass will supply nearly if not all
the food for from four to twenty-five
geese, with perhaps ten to an acre
as an average. In the South some
cotton growers keep geese for the
sake of their aid in keeping down
weeds in cotton fields.

500 ORDERED
TO COOPERATE
Bus Company Operating Be.
tween Minot and Max Will
Increase Service

Orders that the 500 Line railroad
cooperate with the Interstate Trans
portation company in handling
freight from Minot to points in the
Minot trade territory have been is
sued by the state railroad board.
The new arrangement is to become
effective Immediately.
Representation made to the board
by the Minot association Of COM
merce indicate that the decision will
permit better distribution Of goods
from Minot to points on the 500
Line east and west Of Max and re-
suit in building up business for
Minot firms in that territory.
Although the decision is specific
only on one point, it lays down a
rule which is regarded as important
in indicating future decisions on
similar matters. The rule is that
the railroads must cooperate with
bus lines wherever the convenience
and necessity of the public make
such cooperation advisable.
In the instant that the Interstate
Transportation company, backed by
the Minot association Of commerce
petition for an order directing the
railroad company to pay charges on
freight shipped by bus from Minot
to Max and there turned over to the
railroad for delivery to the con-
signee. The bus company agreed
to reimburse the railroad company
for freight charges on shipments

turned over to it and to collect from
the consignee at Minot. The COM
plainants alleged that failure or re-
fusal Of the railroad to cooperate
was hampering the develop
ment Of fast freight service from
Minot to towns served by branches
Of the 500 Line extending east and
west of Max.
Will Save 10 Days
In supporting the complainants,
the railroad board pointed out that
the distance by bus from Max to
Minot is % miles. whereas BY the
route Of the defendants
railroad it is 97.5 miles. It often
requires a week to 10 days to send
freight by the all-rail route to var
ious points, witnesses testified,
whereas the bus-rail route gives "a
hour service.
In opposing the complaint, the
railroad contended that the bus line
is not a common carrier, alleged that
the request was one for the commits
sion to establish joint rates between
rail and bus transportation COM
pany and challenged the jurisdiction
Of the commission to order the ap-
plication of such joint rates.

FARGO BRIDGE
!; WRANGLE OVER
North Dakota and Minnesota
Highway Bodies Agree on
Site over Red River

Decision to construct a highway
bridge across the Red river between
Fargo, N. D., and Moorhead, Mimi.
was announced today by Governor
A. G. Sorlie. chairman of the state
highway commission.
Work will begin as soon as pos
sible and it is probable that the
structure will be finished next WIN
ter, the executive said.
By agreement between the North
Dakota and Minnesota highway COM
missions the bridge will be con-
structed on First Avenue North
Fargo. Preliminary soundings for
the bridge already have been made.
Additional soundings will be made
at once and the work Of de-
signing the bridge started. Con-
tracts for the work will be let as
soon as possible.
Cost Of the bridge is placed at less
than 100000, all of which would be
paid by the highway departments OF
the two states and the federal gov
eminent.
An appropriation Of $4,000 was
made at the last session Of the North
Dakota legislature. Minnesota vii
contribute an equal amount and hall
the entire cost will be borno by the
federal government. This system OF
financing will mean a new bridge
without cost to the cities of Fargo
and Moorhead or the counties 0,
Clay and Cass.
Agreement between the highway
commissions of the two states a:
to the location of the bridge ended
4 controversy which had been carried
on for two years. Fargo business
men and officials of Cass county ane
Fargo wanted the bridge construct
ed on First Ave, Fargo. Business
men of Moorhead and officials o
Moorhead and Clay county wante'
it constructed on Center Avenue
Moorhead. = The resulting impass'
has delayed construction.
Under the agreement between III
highway departments Of the tW
states. Sorlie said, a program ha
been arranged calling for the con
struction of three bridges botwcel
Fargo and Moorhead of which tn
first shall be located on First ave
nue.. The next, to be built as 500
a. funds are available, will be 10
Gated on Front Street, Fargo, an
the third, to be built at a still late
time, will be located so as to hes
