Olson, R. A. Trovatten, state com-} missioner of agriculture, and 25 lead- ers of Farmers Cooperative associa-| tions and other organizations in| Minnesota, was held Tuesday. | Called by Governor Olson, who; wished to get the farm leaders to map| oui a comprehensive program for} agriculture, the conference was held, behind closed doors. i Governor Olson, although refusing to comment, conferred three hours! during which a number of farm prob-| lems were threshed out. The chiet; executive announced, however, that, the farm leaders will confer with di- rectors of their organizations and submit farm programs to him and| that later will call a conference of) all leaders and others interested in} the farm situation in the state. | Governor Olson is understood to) have pointed out at the conference) that such a program should be in| readiness in the event a special ses- sion of the legislature is called by/ him for next fall, or if one is not) held, to be taken up by the next regu-| lar session of the legislature in 1933,) and by the next congress. All bona fide leaders of farm co-| operatives believe Minnesota should adopt a graduated income tax law, Commissioner Trovatten said at the conference and advocated the regula- tion of the selling price and profits} on all manufactured articles by the} government, prohibiting those who; Sell such articles to the farmers from charging any more percentage of; profits on their goods than farmers, enjoy. The federal farm board should be given a further trial, Commissioner Trovatten said, but explained it was the belief of the state farm leaders that the board's efforts should still! further be extended in behalf of co- operative marketing of farm products by stipulating that the “pegged” price on farm products should only be paid through cooperative marketing asso- ciations.

WIDE AREA SHAKEN BY POWERFUL BLAST Falling of Meteor or Explosion Investigated in Ohio and Indiana Toledo, O., June 11—()—Heavy earth shocks caused by the falling of a large meteor or by the blast of some powerful explosive shook northwest- ern Ohio and eastern Indiana early ‘Wednesday. Thousands of persons were awak- ened by the shock and windows were broken in houses at a considerable distance from the place where either @ meteor struck the earth or where an explosion occurred. The center of the shocks was at a large hole 10 feet in diameter and five feet deep, on the Henry Pohlman farm, one-half mile north of Malinta, Ohio. The heaviest damage was within a 300-foot radius. Four telephone poles were broken, wires were down, small trees knocked over. A field of oats was flattened. There was no evi- dence of heat or fire around the hole, but meteorologists said lack of such did not disprove the belief a falling meteor caused the shocks. Babcock, 600 feet from the center of the shock, was undamaged except for broken windows. The shocks were of such great intensity they were felt at Findlay, Fostoria, Bluff- ton, Continental, Napoleon, Colum- bus Grove, Wauseon, O., and in sev- eral towns in Indiana. The shock occurred about 2 a. m. Police at Findlay said there appar- ently were three shocks. There was no meteor visible. It was pointed out that if a meteor had struck here it probably would have covered itself with dirt. MERCHANDISING OF PRODUCE DISCUSSED Consistent Grading and Care- ful Shipping of Eggs Urged to Poultrymen Manhattan, Kas., June 11.—(%)— The more recent entrants into the agricultural cooperative movement turned Wednesday at the American Institute of Cooperation to some of the older organizations in the field for lessons in the problems of mer- chandising. From Paul 8. Armstrong, Los An- geles, assistant general manager of the California Fruit Growers’ ex- change, they learned of methods em- Ployed by that organization in in- creasing consumption and getting more orderly distribution of citrus fruit. S. D. Sanders, Seattle, Wash., presi- Gent of the Washington Cooperative Egg and Poultry association and chairman of the institute, described how, through consistent grading and careful shipping, poultrymen of that state have developed one of the largest egg marketing agenices in the country. Three conditions which farmers should be able to meet before at- tempting to organize cooperative creameries were outlined by A. J. Mc- Guire, Minneapolis, Minn., general RAE Land o’Lakes Creameries, ine.

The examiner stated that the county auditor advised him the county had not advertised for such bids. Pur- chases were said by the examiner to have been made in violation of the statutes. Another complaint made to the ex- aminer was that of $5,000 paid by a surety company on the depository bond of the closed Underwood State bank, Underwood, N. D., only $3,600 had been paid to McLean county. The examiner stated this complaint is substantiated by the records which show $3,600 had been paid to the county of the $5,000 bond, according to the report. / The report says further the clerk of court has not paid the county sums collected in proceedings for natural- ization of aliens; that the county au- ditor has neglected to keep a dupli- cate treasurer's cash book, or register of collections; that no record has been kept of the sales of abstracts of crop mortgages; that custodian accounts are not being carried or shown in the books of ihe county treasurer; and that the treasurer is not in balance. The report sets forth that in the 20 days spent in gathering data for the report the examiner “received com- Plaints, charges and counter-charges of various infractions of the law by officials and ex-officials, some of which were investigated.” It is further stated that some of these “date back several years and are hardly a matter with which an ex- aminer should deal.” COTTON’S PLAGUE Twelve per cent of the annual cot- ton crop, valued at $163,000,000, is destroyed by boll weevils, the U..8. | Depeeeene of Agriculture reports) ACHIEVEMENT DAY HELD IN MOUNTRAIL 1,200 County Farmers, Fami- lies; Friends, and Neighbors See Exhibits at Stanley Stanley, N.
