PAGE EIGHT GRAND RAPIDS HERALD-REVIEW WEDNESDAY, APRIL 12, 1911. WHY THE FARMERS SHOULD ORGANIZE (Continued from page one.) farm products. This amount is small in comparison with what may be accomplished but consider- ing the fact that the association started without capital, it must be considered good. The association begins its second year much better equipped and can be of much greater service to the farmers. Its motto is togrow the best and to put only the best on the market and to secure the best prices. Through quality, uniformity and honesty, the Producers’ Coopera- tive Market association aims to be of lasting good. Its work is educational as well 9s for greater profits, for it is only through knowing how that a greater market can be secured, The following article by Mr. Hopkins will be found of yalue in that it teaches how. POTATOES. Potatoes should be either put over an inch and three-quarters screen or assorted so as not to have anything under an inch and three-quarters in the stock sent to market. There should be no scabby potatoes or cut or bruised stock sent to market. {When shipped in sacks they should be put up in even weight—150 Ib. securely sewed. Every pre- on should be used in selecting d so as to get potatoes of uni- form shape and color. Red stock should not be shipped in same car as mixed cars scarcely ev- nd the same price. eties of white stock are ks and Carmen No. 3. The Rural New Yorker is too late for this climate. For early potatoes we would advise planting the Bliss Triumph and Early Ohio. sacks: as white, the ONIONS. Care should be taken to buy your seed from reliable firms, so that you get pure strains. See that you don’t get your seed planted too deep. Deep what is termed as planting caus stiff necks and scullions. The two best varieties are the South Port, Yel low Globe and the Minnesota Red Globe In harvesting, the onions should be pulled and topped and then stacked in the field in shallow trays always protected by water tight covering over top row of trays.They should be left in the field ten days at least until thoroughly dried out. Then they can be run over an inch and a quarter rack, (which not only takes out all stock too small for market, but cleams all dirt and dead leaves from the onion.). When rack- ing, all stiff necks, splits, doubles ‘and soft stock should be taken out. Your rack should be seven feet long and 3 feet wide with % inch strips, 1%4 inch apart. These strips to run lengthwise and form the bottom. The sides and end should be six inches high, and should be upon legs at a proper height, so that a man on each side can work the stock back and forth over the slats from the high end of the lower end where a bag can be fastened so the marketable stock will flow into it. Then sack in even weight 100 lb. sacks, and sew “securely. If you do not wish to ship as soon as they are dry enough to rack, put them into bushel crates and place in a frostproof storage. Don't send poor, dirty, unscreened stock to market—it hurts yourself and it hurts every member of the Association CABBAGE. Get your seed bed ready early--use plenty of fine manure and as soon as plants are ready to sow put them in rows 24 in. by 30 in. apart. Water plants well when they are set out, and work ground with fine tooth cul- tivator. Again see that you get your seed from some reliable seed firm, The best varieties for earrly cabbage are “All Season” and Early Wake- field varieties. For winter crop, Hol- Jand Seed and Danish Bald Head are the very best varieties. When ready to harvest, select the hard, well formed heads of uniform size, place your left hand on top of the head, catching a couple loose leaves on each side, tip to one side and a light hack with a sharp heavy knife will cut the stump with ease. Cut two rows at a time. If you are figuring on loading cars, Jeave stock on the ground over night and the leaves will not break up so much in handling. If the stock is to be crated, it is well to put it up when fresh cut. All crated stock should be shipped in crates 17x17 inch head, 34 inch slats; this will give ‘rows always with the top of the cab- bage to the outside of the crate, | which will give it a nice appearance | from all sides. Pack the heads in firmly and fill the crate so that when) the top slats are nailed on it will bel-/ ly out, thus insuring a good firm pack when it reaches market. The appearance of stock when it reaches market is what sells it to the very best advantage. Never ship spongy loose stock as buyers in the market absolutely will not pay a price for this spongy bitter stock. In selecting your plants frrom the seed bed, be careful to select strong stocky plants which have good roots and well developed leaves, and un- less weather is very wet be sure to use plenty of water at the time of transplanting. It is well to figure on using from %4 to % lb. seed in your bed for each acre you intend to plant, as it will take from 10,000 to; 12,000 plants to the acre.

COMMISSION IS SHORN OF POWER Sanborn’s Decision Puts State Board Out of Business, SENATE PASSES MURRAY BILL Measure Provides for Nomination of Candidates for Senator by Direct Vote of the People. (Special Correspondence. St. Paul, April 10.—By the ruling ot Judge Walter H. Sanborn of the fed- eral court Minnesota loses out in the rate litigation in which it has been en- gaged for the past four years. In handing down his decision Judge San- bern sustained the findings of Judge Charles E. Otis, master in chancery, before whom the cases were originally argued. Following the handing down of the decision former Attorney Gen- eral Edward T. Young and E. S. Durment held a conference and it was decided to file a notice of appeal to the United States supreme court. In his decision Judge Sanborn overturns all contentions of the state. te + | The decision is regarded as an epoch-making finding in the matter of | railway rate regulation. It leaves the state of Minnesota exactly where it started several years ago in the mat- | ter of regulating railway rates and railway traffic and, taking ‘away from | the railroad and warehouse commis- sion its right to regulate and make | rates, obviates practically any further | necessity for the existence of the com- mission. +r + The question now arises whether | the railroads that have accepted the 2-cent fare and the merchandise rates of several years ago, which are abro- gated by this decision, will continue | voluntarily to maintain them in force. | The commodity rates, which have been the bone of contention, have never been put into effect and unless Judge Sanborn is overruled by the supreme court of the United States never will go into effect. ++ + The senate has passed the Murray bill relative to the direct election of United States senators. It is a parti- san measure. It provides that the can- didate for United States senator of any party receiving the highest num- ber of votes in the primary will be declared the candidate of the party for senator, which will be equivalent to being made the caucus nominee. Such a decision would not be legally binding, but would probably be re- garded as morally binding. The sen- ate had two bills under consideration. One was the Keefe bill already passed by the house, which is known as the Oregon plan. This would destroy party lines so far as the senatorship was concerned. It was regarded as objectionable on the ground that it would destroy majority choice. With several candidates in the field there would be a combination against thc strong man and the minority party’s candidate would probably win, as hap- pened in Oregon when Senator Cham- berlain was elected. It is thought the bill was introduced in the interest of the candidacy of John Lind for the United States senate in opposition to | Knute Nelson, whose term will expire two years from now. The Murray bill was amended in several particu- lars and after its passage the Keefe bill was advanced to the head of the calendar, so if the house refuses to accept the Murray bill the senate will have a chance to act on the Keefe The general feeling is that nei- ther bill will become a law. tb +b Employers’ liability is a dead issue in Minnesota. The senate has indefi nitely postponed all measures calling for employers’ compensation. Two | years ago the legislature passed a bill authorizing the governor to appoint ¢ commission to go to Europe to study methods relative to this kind of leg- islation. Five thousand dollars was appropriated to pay the expenses of this commission. George M. Gillette H. V. Mercer and W. E. McEwen were made members of the commission. The commission traveled through Eu- rope and prepared a majority and 4 minority report, Mr. Gillette submit- ting the minority report. Former Su- preme Justice Thomas D. O’Brien pre- pared a bill which had the approval of the State Federation of Labor. Sen- ator Swanson of Fridley submitted a bill of his own. All have been turned down. H. V. Mercer has submitted a pill of expense for $28,000 for his services and the fees of lawyers. Mr. McEwen has submitted a bill of $1,500. Mr. Mercer’s bill will probably be cut nearly 100 per cent and Mr. McEwen’s Dill will also be cut. In any case the members of the commission enjoyed adelightful European trip and their re- ports have been educational. e+e > Reapportionment is still a burning issue in the Minnesota legislature. Governor Eberhart, who is earnestly desirous of having the Republican leg- islature fulfill the Republican party pledge, has been taking drastic steps and wielding the “big stick.” The gov- | its operation. ernor takes the position that party pledges mean just what they say and the Republican party platform pledged itself to immediate reapportionment. Following the defeat of the Congdon bill Senators Rockne and Clague are understood to have prepared a new bill, which would give Ramsey and Hennepin counties one extra senator each and St. Louis county also one senator and would give the Red River valley two extra senators, taking five from Southern Minnesota. This was basing the senatorial representation on an average of twenty senators to 28,000 people in Southern Minnesota, ene senator to 32,000 people in Ram- sey and Hennepin and one senator to each 40,000 people in Northern Min- nesota. This was thought to be so fair to Southern Minnesota that it would not be objectionable. The bil! was delayed from time to time pend- ing the hearing on the proposed con- stitutional amendment limiting sena- torial representation from any county to four. Governor Eberhart executed a coup on the dilatory senators by securing the introduction of a new re- apportionment bill with the name of Senator A. L. Hanson attached. This was similar to the Rockne-Clague bill except that it called for immediate re- apportionment, which would have the effect of voting the senators out of of- fice. The senatorial opposition, in vio- lation of all precedents relative to the measure coming from the executive, through Senator Coller raised the point of order that the time for introducing bills had passed. Lieutenant Governor Gordon ruled in accordance with the wishes of the senatorial organization. This gave the opposition .enators time and they held a caucus that night, de- ciding to support the constitutional amendment proposition, which was passed the next day after having been amended so as to limit senatorial rep- resentation to six from any county. This gives the senators who oppose reapportionment an excuse for not vot- ing on the question until after the constitutional amendment has been passed on by the people. It is gen- erally regarded as a subterfuge. The governor refuses to say whether or not he will call an extra session, but will probably do so unless the senate definitely goes on record on the new reapportionment bill by Hanson, which has since been introduced. His idea is to fix the responsibility where it belongs. +b + The house has been in a state of an- archy during the past week. Repre- sentatives Hopkins and Mattson intro- duced a resolution making a two-thirds vote necessary to make a special or- der. This was done with a view of expediting business in the closing hours of the session. The rules com- mittee amended the resolution, except- ing a reapportionment measure from This was done in the expectation that the senate might pass a reapportionment bill and if the two- thirds rule was made operative rela- tive to it the measure would probably be defeated and the responsibility would be placed on the house for kill- ing the measure. Representatives Mattson and Hopkins changed front on the proposition and, with Tempor- ary Speaker John G. Lennon in the chair, the previous rulings of Speaker Dunn were overturned. The result was a filibuster, with anarchy prevail- ing in the house. Speaker Dunn has been seriously ill during the past two weeks. Saturday he resumed the chair and received an ovation. The two-thiras rule proposition was laid over for action later. Ce Theodore Roosevelt is to address the leislature on April 14. He will stop off in St. Paul on his way home from the West. Invitation to address the legislature has been extended in the names of Lieutenant Governor Gordon and of Speaker Dunn. A deci- sion to reserve the galleries for fami- lies of the legislators and their friends was rescinded. ++ + The Spooner water power bill is re- ceiving considerable discussion in the senate. The house bill is a companion measure to the bill introduced by Rep- resentative L. C. Spooner asking an appropriation of $40,000 for the inves- tigation of what is generally regarded as a fantastic scheme for the purpose of canalizing the entire state of Min- nesota, involving the construction of an artificial lake of immense propor- tions near Big Stone lake and of mak- ing it possible for ships to sail around the Horn by way of the Lake of the Woods, through Minneapolis and St. Paul and up the St. Croix river to Du- luth. The bill is regarded as very drastic and may be unconstitutional. The measure was referred to the at- torney general for a decision upon its constitutionality. + t + Four reform bills were put to sleep by the lower house of the legislature. The Palmer-Hopkins measure prohib- iting treating in drinking places lost by a vote of 54 to 50. Although re- ceiving a majority of the votes the bill did not receive the necessary sixty-one to secure its enactment. Mr Palmer believes that if all the mem: pers had been present his bill would have been passed. He may ask for 4 reconsideration. + + + ‘The state tax commission bill pro viding for a system of county asses sors was killed in the house by a vote of 66 to 41. The measure was fathered by R. C. Dunn and is regarded as one of the best tax measures introduced during the present session. The house also killed Kneeland’s bill providing for a constitutional convention to re- vise the state constitution by a vote of 64 to 47. The bill for a homeopathic college at the state “U” also failed. i BUSINESS AND PTOFESSIONAL DIRECTORY F. P. SHELDON, President . E. AIKEN. Cashier FIRST NATIONAL BANK P. J.
