Tt will determine definitely what constitutes restraint of trade in the stockyards. Directly the case involves only the question of whether there has been a violation of the law. Indirectly, it will decide whether oldtime commis- sion firms are obliged to trade with cooperative livestock organizations. The farm board is not a party to the action and the government, so far as legal aspects are concerned, has no interest in the economic fight between the cooperatives and the commission men. However, the board’s entire co- operative livestock marketing program will] be affected by the decision, whether it be that specific fuilures to deal with the cooperatives consti- tute a boycott, or have been no more ¢han legitimate competitive practice. If adjudged a boycott, the re- sult will be further to intrench cooperatives on every livestock market. If not, they face a fu- ture filled with uphill fights and likely the position of “outsiders” wherever commission firms dom- inate the live stock trade. Refuse to Sell to Coops The case revolves around the alle- gation that commission firms operat- ing in the national stockyards, St. Louis market, refused to sell to the national order buying company, which is part of the national livestock mar-/: keting association set up under aus- pices of the farm board. Tt is also charged the firms cut off their relations with the old establish- | livestock _ commission ; ed producers company, also a part of the national organization, and the commission concern of Kennett, Sparks and Com- pany. which continued to deal with the two cooperatives. Investigation directed by Eldon L. Marshall, solicitor-general of the de- partment of agriculture, which has to do with administration of the pack- ers and stockyards act, resulted in charges that the action violated the provision that public stockyards be kept on an open, competitive basis entirely free of any unfair, unjustiy discriminatory or deceptive practice. Block Coops By Price Juggle Among reports leading to the in- vestigation was one to the effect that certain commission firms refused to show their stock to F. 8. Ketner, man- ager of the national order buying company, and in other instances that his bid was refused even when it was the highest or that the price was de- Uberately advanced above that whtch @@eec-- 50 40 30 20105! 1 of trade against - \ Associations Listed iy Y U.S. Department of Agriculture = & j fd This map shows distribution of livestock business handled by cooperative marketing organizations. Decision in the government’s suit against 47 St. Louis commission rms 1s expected to.dctermine what constitutes restraimt cooperatives in stockyards. he was commissioned to pay by his clients. To protect the interest of the producer, the packers and stock- yards act requires that stock to be sold to the highest bidder. On that premise and others Secretary Hyde cited 47 commission firms to show cause why their licenses should not be revoked. A referee will be appointed to sit in East St. Louis, Ill., November 6 to take testimony for both the gov- ernment and the defendants. Tran- scribed, it will be forwarded to the secretary who will conduct a public hearing on the evidence before de- cision is rendered. If the judgment is appealed, it is possible to take the case eventually to the supreme court of the United States. The government's trial attorney {will be “Judge” C. E. Miles, known for 18 years as the “stormy petrel” of the solicitor’s office. Jim Reed Defense Counsel Defense counsel is expected to be headed by James A. Reed, former senator from Missouri. The 8t. Louis market is second only to Chicago as the largest hog market in the world. It is famous for a light hog favored by eastern packers and largely for that reason ‘has developed the world’s largest order buying busi- ness for hogs. Packers pay $12 a car_for the service of order buying compa- nies. The profit to be made in buying mixed lots of hogs and feeding and grading them to the higher priced types usually sought on eastern orders has made the order buying business in many in- stances much more profitable than the selling end of the trade. Convinced that a cooperative asso- ciation could pass order buying profits back to the producer in the form of higher prices for his stock, the na- tional livestock marketing association organized a national order buying company which, at St. Louis, took over the old Potts-Watkins order buy- ing company. It began operation August 4, 1930, and soon, it is charged, found it im- possible to buy sufficient stock from commission firms to fill its orders. May Lose Licenses Under date of August 1. W. A. Moody, president of the St. Louis Livestock exchange, to which all com- {mission firms on the national stock- yards belong, wrote exchange mem- ibers to the effect that the presence jof the new order buying company stituted a menace to old line com- mission houses in that its parent or- ganization, the National Livestock \Marketing association, was said by |the farm board to have as its goal jultimate control of the stock market- \ing machinery of the country. He said the plan involved the pros- pect of limiting order buying to one concern (the National order buying company) which he believed would destroy rather than build up the open competitive market. Possible conspiracy is a factor in the case and interest in the Moody letter centers around the fact that he wrote it as president of the ex- change rather than as the head of his own company. In addition to «the possibility of losing their licenses if they are Proved to have boycotted coopera- tives, some of the commission firms may face civil prosecution for contempt. They are among firms ordered to desist by the secretary of agriculture in connection with the 1922 boycott of the Producers’ livestock commis- sion company, @ cooperative. Part of War cn Farm Board Opposition of boards of trade, live- stock exchanges and dealers general- ly to the farm board financing co- operatives is in the background of the St. Louis case, although the farm board says the National order buying company has not used a dollar of gov- ernment funds. Comparative figures on the business of 37 operators in the St. Louis mar- ket for the week ending October 11 show the producers company handled 19.7 per cent of the total receipts, or 283 cars of the 1,433 received, as against 248 cars handled by the Farmers livestock commission com- pany, the closest competitor. The farmers company, a cooperative not affiliated with the national live- stock marketing association, is a de- fendant in the boycott case. The largest number of cars handled by any commission firm was 79 It is estimated that cooperatives usually handle about 60 per cent of the hog receipts at St. Louis and about 40 per cent of the cattle and sheep. Commission firms challenge the estimate. Department of agriculture figures show that livestock cooperatives, | operating on 22 markets, did a total business of $314,522,632 in 1929, mar- keting a total of 12,755,647 animals. STANDING ROGK HAS GOOD CORN RECORD 12 Out of 33 Exhibits Shown at State Corn Show Won Prize Money Fort Yates, N. D., Nov. 1.—Twelve out of 33 corn exhibits shown by| Standing Rock corn-growers got into} the prize money at the N. D. State Corn show which was held at Bis- | marck Oct. 22-25 thereby giving Sioux | county a rating of seventh place in the N. D. show. The outstanding | placings were made in the 4-H club! department where Felix Crow Neck- lace and Jacob Jordan Jr., of the Fort Yates. Corn club, won sweep- stake and third prize with Alta yel- low dent 10-ear samples. In the 10- ear mixed flour corn class the reser- vation growers almost made a clean sweep when ‘they took ‘all except fourth prize money. Many Horses, of Cannon Ball, took the blue ribbon in this class, while Charles Walking Thunder, the agency school, and Milan White Eagle placed second, third, and fifth respectively. Other winnings by Standing Rock men were fifth in Gehu flint. by George Defender, Shields, second and third in mixed flints by William Mo- lash and Bernard Short, Fort Yates, and third and fifth in white flour corn by Charles Shelltrack, Cannon Ball, and the agency school. This is the first time that Sioux county has ever placed in the 4-H club department at the state corh show. The winning of the sweep- stakes ribbon in this department by Felix Crow Necklace with his 10-ear sample of Alta yellow dent is there- fore even a more outstanding accom- Plishment. The exhibits were col- lected and taken to the corn show by Roy Shipman, distric? farmer at Fort Yates, and L. C. Lippert, agricultur- al extension agent.in the Indian Field Service located at Fort Yates.

At | that time Dr. Julio Prestes was sched- uled to succeed him but Dr. Prestes now is a refugee in the British con- sulate residence in Sao Paulo. Dr. Vargas was Prestes’ epponent in the national elections. The train, guarded by cowboy troops from Rio Grande do Sw, ar- rived several hours late. An enor- mous crowd met Dr. Vargas and es- corted him to Cattete palace, which the military Junta had invited him to occupy.

South, the dealer, holding the re- quired two and one-half high card tricks, opens the bidding with one club, West pass, North bid two hearts which is a forcing bid showing at least five hearts and two and one- half high tricks. South went to three clubs showing at least a five-card club suit. North then took the dec- laration to six hearts which closed the contracting.

Outstanding in Sioux County 4-H Club Work : Fort Yates, N. D., Nov. 1—A 10-ear sample of Felix Crow Necklace’s Alta yellow dent won the sweepstake rib- bon in the 4-H club department at the North Dakota Corn show held et Bismarck Oct. 22-25. The winning of » this coveted ribbon marks Felix as the outstanding 4-H club corn grow- er in Sioux county.and North Dakota. Felix lives just a few miles north of Fort Yates on the Cannon Rall Toad. His acre of Alta yellow dent was planted near this road beside the old N. P. railroad grade. The soll is fertile and is a sandy silt loam well adapted for corn growing. His field was well cared for. giving a yield of better than 30 bushels to the acre. | Over half of this yield will be good for seed. Felix got the Alta seed corn he planted in the field from pure seed which was introduced into Sioux | county by the agricultural extension agent in the Indian Field Service this ‘ spring. All 4-H corn clubs in Sioux county raised Alta yellow dent. Jacob | Jordan Jr., a club-mate of Felix’s, | placed third at the N. D. Corn show. He also raised and showed Alta yellow Jacob's field produced over 20 bushels of corn to the acre. Roy Ship- man, district farm:r at Fort Yates, | is the tocal leader of the Fort Yates 4-H corn club of which Felix and Jacob are outstanding members.
