Morgan Interests Accused
OF Controlling Anthracite

Philadelphia (ILNS)-The COM
mission appointed by the last legisla-
ture of Pennsylvania has reported that
the anthracite industry and what are
called the anthracite railroads are
dominated and controlled by group
of big bankers, with J. p Morgan as
their head Next in Importance come
the George f. Baker interests, and
the New York Central, which again
is dominated by the House of Mar
gan.
The report, prepared by w. Jett
Lauck, says in part:
/. despite the supreme court decision
in 1920, ordering the dissolution of
the control of anthracite railroads by
anthracite mining companies, the CON
troll of the anthracite industry at the
present time is definitely in the same
hands that control the anthracite car
rying railroads !.
Under such situation, they can
forego profits on large production of
anthracite, and recoup them by high
freight rates, thereby forcing the in
dependent companies, which must pay
high freight rates, to operate at a
loss"

That the workers cannot buy, unless

the other, and the game picked up
in interest. The locals got only two
free throws. Swanville took one
bucket and one free throw. At the
half time marker Swanville led
slimly 8 to Z.
Arvig opened the third quarter
with one of the highlights Of the
evenings defensives. A Swanville
man broke loose to go down the
floor unattended. Arvig broke with
him, and as he reached the basket
he went up for the tip shot. Arvig
was up right with him, and his
fingers tipped the ball just as it
left the Swanman's shooting arm.
1t was a beautiful bit of guarding,
and saved a certain scoring threat.
But Swanville proceeded to garner
three baskets before the local at
tack sprung to life. and eased their
score to fifteen points. But then 1t
was the Harveymen's turn. A foul
shot and they were off. One, two,
three field goals to bring their to
tai to Is points. A foul shot for
Swanville and the quarter ended.
The final chapter in this thriller
opened at a rapid pace, and the
game got really hot as the locals
strove to put that Swanville lead
behind them. They took two bask-
cts to run to II, but Swanville
their two point lead
until the final gun.

must be held up for a number Of
reasons, mostly because folk have
delayed in sending their appQtca-
tons back to the county agents
office at st. Cloud.
Educational meetings were held
In many parts Of the county since
January 13. Attendance at these
educational meetings at which the
community committeeman were
also elected seems to indicate that
there will be a considerable interest
Ia the soils conservation program
for 1887. The 1887 program Is being
started much earlier than hast year
due to the fact that the program
Is definitely laid out at an earlier
date compared to 1886 when the
program had to be planned follow
ing the Supreme Court decision of
January 9th which invalidated all
of the old AAA programs. This
meant that in 1886 meetings sim
liar to the ones held now in jan
uary were held during the month
of April. This three-month lead in
starting the program for 1887 COM
bined with the plan for having the
field measurements made this year
during the month of July will auto
matically mean that the program
will be brought to close earlier in
1887 and that payments will come
to the producers at a much earlier
date.
A little later sign-up meetings
will be held in the different COM
munities and the producers in the
county will be notified through the
county papers and by letter as to
when these meetings will be held.
For the 1887 program the COM
mittee plans to have the soil con-
serving base and the soil depicting
base for each farm determined prior
to March LIST and producers who
wish to participate in the program
for 1887 can get these figures for
their farm on or about that time.
When folks get the soil depicting
base and the soil conserving base
for their particular farm the first
move will be to add up the fields
Of soil conserving acreage that
they will leave standing for 1887.
For example a particular farm on
which there are 120 crop acres
might get a soil depicting base Of
100 acres and a soil conserving
base of 20 acres. The producer get
ting set Of figures like this would
first determine whether his acreage
Of soil conserving crops equal or
surpass the soil conserving base of
20 acres that was given him. If he
fell short of having these 20 acres
the difference between the soil
conserving land that he is leaving
for 1887 and the soil conserving

base could be planted to what u
known as neutral classification
crops. These neutral classification
crops consist of any Of the small
grains for hay or pasture, sudan
grass or millet for hay or pasture
or soybeans or cowpeas for hay or
pasture. There are no payments for
1887 on the soil conserving base IT.
self, unless the soil conserving
acreage that is left for 1885 on
given farm exceeds the soil conser-
walton base. The excess soil con-
serving acres qualify for the pay
ment of $500 per acre.
The major payments for 1887 are
figured from the soil conserving
base of 100 acres that are used in
this particular example. The shift
from soil depicting to soil conserv-
ing for pay in 1887 can be anywhere
from to Is percent and three
classes of payments are possible for
1887. The first payment of So an
acre is known as the conversion
payment and this together with
the diversion payment of So an
acre Is paid for the shift Of soil de-
plotting to soil conserving where
grass crops as were used in 1885
are planted. In addition the soil
building payments ranging from
81 to $3.50 an acre are also avail
able in addition to the $500. In or
der to relieve the demand for le-
gume and grass seeds the soils con-
servation program this year per
mits producers to draw the Sc pay
ments and the So payments for
shifted land where this land Is
planted to soybeans, cowpeas, or
buckwheat and good growth of
these crops are plowed under green.
Individuals wanting further infor-
nation on the program can com
municate with the county agents

1886 Christmas Tree
Trade In State $1,250,0OO
Figure Shows Nearly Ten Per
Cent Increase Over
1875

Approximately 100000 Christ
mas trees with retail value of
$1,250,OO0 were cut in Minnesota in
1886, according to the state division
OF forestry.
About 100000 trees were used
within the state and 100000 were
sent to other states, an increase of
nearly 10 per cent over 1885. In
1885, the first year for which accur-
ate figures are available, a total Of
100000 trees are cut, with 100000
being used within the state and l.
100000 exported.
The number of trees wasted in
1885 amounted to only fraction Of
one per cent, according to state
forestry officials.
A checkup of Duluth Christmas
tree dealers showed a surplus of
742 trees. In st. Paul dealers inter
viewed after Christmas reported
having an average of only five to
ten trees left over. Similar condi-
tions were reported in Minneapo-
lis.
Several towns in western and
southern Minnesota reported less
than a dozen excess trees.
Statistics on the Christmas tree
industry are gathered by the divis-
ion of forestry by tabulating the
number of tags sold to dealers I'M
der terms of the Christmas tree
control law passed by the 1885 Leg
islature.
Four hemlock trees, an exceed
ingly rare species in Minnesota,
were recently discovered by TIM
Der operator in Itasca county north
Of Nashwauk.
The timber operator agreed to
permit the rare trees to remain
and they will be preserved by the
