jority of its former directors, charg-
ing mismanagement and depletion
of capital. the United States Court

The suit involved about s325,O00,
and today's decision affected the
ma joritv of the 80 former directors.
Some directors were said to be un-
affected by the statute Of limitations

the action.

by Justice Jennings Bailey dismiss
ing the complaint against four di-
rectors on the ground that it was

Chief Justice Groner. who heard
the case with Associate Justices Jus.

Farm News
BY County ASent

A series of II educational meet
ings on the AAA program were
completed in Stearns county during
the latter part of January. All of
these meetings were well attended
and it appears that participation in
the program for 1910 will compare
very favorably with that of prev
ious years. Stearns county has al
ways taken an active part in all the
AAA programs in recent years, ac-
cording to the county agents Of
flee, st. Cloud.
This year corn allotments will be
a necessity for the first time in
Stearns county and from questions
arising at educational meetings
that more than 1000 people attend
ed, the corn allotments will be re-
ceived rather favorably. Even tho
producers know that a reduction
in corn acreage will be necessary,
they feel that the corn payments
which add at least 1870 to the total
AAA payments for the county will
justify their making the reduction
in corn acreage. This is especially
true when it is possible for amber
cane and sorghums, two depicting
crops, to be used for fodder with
out the acreage of these crops be-
ing included in the corn allotment.
In 1910 for the first time ample
emphasis is being placed on tree
planting. A total Of $50 can be
earned for tree planting over and
above all other payments that the
farm might otherwise earn. Most
Stearns county farmers, according
to the county agents Office, will
use this provision for the planting
of windbreaks. Some however, who
have badly eroded gullies may plant
these gullies and pieces of hilly
land to forest trees to meet the
requirements for earning the $50
limit. In either case five units Of
soil building practice or a payment
of $3.50 per acre will be paid for
new tree planting. A total Of two
units per acre can be earned for
the care of windbreaks planted
since 1886. Not all farmers will
see fit to use up the entire $50
limit and Of course may not wish
to put in 4 acres of new trees. Any
portion of the $50 that Is earned
will likewise be paid for on the
basis of the planting carried out.
The allotments for corn and for
general depicting land will be mail
ed from the county AAA office in
about one week. After that is done
farm people can make their plans
for the operation Of the farm in
1910. Soon after the allotments
have been made available the sign
up meetings for the 1910 program
will begin. AS was done in prev
ious years, sign-up meetings will be
held in almost all the communities

Stassen Seeks To End
Breach In State Party
Governor COnsults william
Parker and McCabe On
Changes in State Leadership

With the Craftsmanship Of the
Republican state central commit
tee one of the chief problems to be
solved at the party's state conven-
ton this spring, two names were
added to possible candidates for
the job over the weekend.
Already much discussion has CEN
tered around former Chairman
William M. Parker, of Sank Gen.
tire, as a successor to the incum-
bent, DR.. r. G. Radabaugh, of Hast
ings. During the weekend, how
ever, the name of J. Russell SWEET
Ter, of st. Paul, former legislator
and candidate for lieutenant gov
ernor in 1888, was brought into the
picture, as was that of v. j. Mich
aelson, of st. Paul, present secre-
tary.
At the same time, friends of
Governor Stassen said moves were
in the air aimed at healing the
breach in party ranks over the
craftsmanship squabble.
The governor has conferred twice
with Mr.. Parker, reputedly over
reports the latter might be offered
the craftsmanship by the county
chairmen and chairwomen who
this year will elect the party Off
Gals and what Mr.. Parker has in
mind concerning the leadership of
the party in the state. The gov
ernor also has conferred with
Thomas M. McCabe, of Duluth, a
former state chairman.
The fight for the craftsmanship
has its roots in opposition among
county officials of the party to
another term for DR.. Radabaugh.
A considerable number of the
county officials are anxious to re-
organize the entire party leader
ship now they are to be in con-
troll. All Of the present officials
were chosen after the primaries
in 1888 by the then candidates for
various state and congressional Of
