PAGE EIGHT BISMARCK DAILY TRIBUNE SATURDAY, OCT. 16, 1920. 1 Cfooeeieoliiiiiiiiiii i mt mmm mmm mm mmm mmm BRIEF AND PRACTICAL SUGGESTIVE HINTS i FARMER The Middle West Crop Bureau Private Crop Bureau FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION 1. Improved production, grading and marketing is very helpful for securing banking credits. It is easy to understand banking when you don’t need them. 2. Farming is a great agriculture and commercial business, and is in a class by itself. Keep the profiteer out of your business and keep your business to yourself. 3. Farm less, farm right, farm intensive, farm diversified, raise cattle hogs, and dairying. Do everything with an inspiration for success, 4, Farmers should be their own farm warehousemen, clean and grade thei own grain, Ask for handbook of official grain stan- dards, and study the grades. ‘ 5. Farm warehousing eliminates entirely the question of car shortage and shortage of elevator room. This is what you need for succe: 6. Farmers can establish sufficient banking credits by proper system of farm warehousing. Receipts, provided, handled on sound business basis. 7. Farmers should refrain from becoming competitive; honest middlemen are their necessary and profitable asset. The average man is honest at heart. 8. Farmers can control legitimate values under farm warehous- ing and grading system, by protecting honest middlemen and reg- ulating the crooks out of business. 9. Farmers and middlemen are two distinctive things, both ex- ceedingly useful in their sphere, neither can do without the other; they must co-operate. 10. Dishonest exploiting profiteers of the farmers product can and should be exterminated under federal grain laws. “Note the slogan.” THE SLOGAN. “He who will teach the Farmer how to obtain fair values foy fair crops, is their friend and’ benefactor just as much as he who will teach him how to grow two blades of grass where formerly: there grew but one.” This is applicable to everything the Farmer raises. How about values? Bear in mind no Community can prosper for any length of time under an UNJUST PROFITEERING system, its a Public Nuisance ond shonld be relegated to the “Serap Pile.” end its up to the Pe ple to do if.

OCTOBER, 1920, GENERAL TRADE LETTER, Preamble TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: ( Our work and aim is to induce capital and investors in general to come to North Dakota, especially good Eastern and Middle West Farmers. We will do our part to blaze the way to restore confi- dence, prosperity and locate prospects. We will show up North Dakota just as she is, THAT’S GOOD ENOUGH, there will be no camouflaging in our “information reports.” Any practical, unbiased person with an “open mind” will understand us and-will know that the average soil in North Dakota is just as good as the average soil of Iowa, Illinois, Kansas and Nebraska, and ‘with proper, intensive and practical farming methods applied has the same future poss bilities as the above states have enjoyed. Past experience teaches us and we know that under proper and practical farming methods, seasonable weather makes its appearance as a rule and “all crops” no matter where, are dependent upon SEASONABLE WEATHER. PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE—I have had 30 years of practical grain handling experience, buyer and seller and operator of large terminal and transit elevators, and large number of country elevat- ors. During the last ten years my vocation has been crop special- ist and grain grades expert, and with my national reputation, I made it possible through my vast praetical grain handling exper- ience that the Farmers today enjoy FEDERAL GRAIN STANDARD- IZATION under the UNITED STATES GRAIN GRADES ACT OF AUGUST, 1916. I simply advocated honest grading and marketing methods. MY 20 YEARS OR MORE of personal field inspections of crops in the Middle and North Western States, winter-wheat sections, and the Southland, including FLORIDA, has put me in close touch with soil conditions, especially in North Dakota. I am thoroughly in touch with North Dakota agriculture, industrial and financial conditions and know the Red River Valley, The Jim River Valley, Missouri Slope Valley and practically all other so termed valley lands. My personal observation experience during the past two years of Congress while temporarily residing in Washington, D. C. My reg- ular attendance of the Senate sessions during that period will stand me well in hand to interest EASPERN CAPITAL TO SEE NORTH DAKOTA IN THE RIGHT LIGHT. , R. G. STUHR and H. E, LUETKE have: been residents of North Dakota for a number of years and are thoroughly in touch with géneral and local affairs of the state. NORTH DAKOTA CLIMATE—Fine seasonable weather as a rule, during Spring, Summer, and Fall, with snappy Winters which are very agreeable to health and “PEP” and not near as disagreeable as many far off Eastern States. The entire State is underlaid with “NEAR SURFACE” of “LIGNITE COAL,” and thousands of Farm- ers mine their own wants and offer some for sale, and hundreds of commercial mines are now in operation. SURELY, NORTH DA- KOTA HAS A GREAT FUTURE. NORTH DAKOTA IS THE ONLY STATE which has large areas of good to choice cheap, open prairie farm ‘land for sale, which is especially well adapted for intensive and diversified farming. With proper information you can buy North Dakota lands now with your eyes closed and double and treble your investment in\a-very short d. By special agreement we specialize specific counties and ts. Can we serve you as PURCHASER OR SELLER of lands or OTHERWISE?

While representing this district at Washing- ton, I was instrumental in getting Mr. Stuhr a hearing before the Committee on Agriculture on the standardization of grains., 1 believe it is largely due to the very vigorous fight which he put ‘up before that committee that the farmers of this country have now the benefit of the Grain Standards Act, which it.is hoped will protect thera from the shameless exploitation to which they had been subject for many years at the hands of the elevator combine, Mr. Stuhr is. a man of the very highest personal character and great ability in his line of work.

To Whom It May Concern: I, the undersigned, am personally acquainted with David H. Stuhr, for the last forty (40) years, he having been born in Davenport. He has been looked upon as a man of splendid business ability and as an upright and highly respected citizen. The greater part of his life has been spent in the grain business, and as a crop specialist, his reports having been considered very reliable. He is very active in his private business and strictly refrains from meddling ‘in the affairs of others. He has been free with advice and extended a helping hand to those who asked for it. The enactment of the “United States Grain Standards Act” (under Federal jurisdiction), became.a Law in August, 1916. Once this Law thor- oughly operative, it will ‘mean Just one standard of grain grades for the same kind and quality of. grain all over the United States from the Pro- ducer to the Consumer and Public in general. Mr. Stuhr, with his very many years.of practical grain handl- ing and grading experience from the field to the consumer, gave his volun- tary testimony before this committee and his own national activity that made it possible for the early enact- ment of this law.’ He highly prizes his citizenship and is. very conscientious in his political choice of men, aspiring to office. Be- ing an Independent Republican, he has and that’ voted his ticket when satisfied that the election of such candidate was for ” the best interest of the country. I take great pleasure in recom- mending Mr. Stuhr to anyone desiring his Crop Bureau services and advice in the grain business. Very respectfully yours, Ind.-Republican. | W. D. PETERSEN. P S.—Mr. W.

Resolution WHEREAS: The Standardization of Grain Grades has finally become a reality by the enactment of the “United States Grain Standards Act.” under Federal jurisdiction, and be- came a Law in August, 1916, and WHEREAS: David H> Stuhr, “Crop ; Spectalist,” of Davenport, Iowa,’ did take a very active personal interest in the passage of this “Act” because he firmly, believed in one standard cf Grain Grades for the same kind and ouality of grain to all alike, all over the United States, from the Producer to the Consumer and to the public in general; and WHEREAS, Mr. Stuhr, with his very many years of vast practical grain handling and grading experience from thd field to the consumer, did give his unsolicited, voluntary and impartial testimony as an expert grain man and crop specialist, before a special inves- tigating Committee of the Department of Agriculture in Washington, D. C., in May, 1914, and we firmly believe it was largely due to his very valuable testimony of his own practical expe- rience before this Committee, and Jat- er his own nationa’ ivities in this matter that made it nossible for the early enactment of this Law, which we believe will he productive of hetter marketing conditions and fundamen- tal to more and better grain raising as soon as the “Act” is worked into effec- tive proper, operation; now, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, By the Mt.
