Ladd Asked to Quit (Continued from page 13) dealing with vital things affecting the social and economic life and forces of the state, and gives them presentation. He circulates “package libraries” of in- formation for those attempting to write or debate on interesting and vital subjects. : This is “agitation,” and in the belief of a certain type of mind agitation is to be condemned and anything that springs from the soil must be repress- ed. Arvold, who is encouraging coun- try people to think and to give ex- pression to their thoughts in writing and action, must go. He is a danger- ous character, WHY KEENE AND WALDRON CAN'T STAY AT COLLEGE Professor Keene is slated 'to go be- cause the regents want ‘to remove the engineering department from the college. It is not farming, they say, and the Agricultural college must teach nothing but farming. Dean Waldron has shown by his speech before the Grain Growers that he believes farmers’ sons should be taught to concern themselves about other things than merely how to grow larger crops. This is a dangerous at- titude, in the view of the regents. ‘Waldron is a troublemaker. He must not™stay at the college. PEOPLE VERSUS REGENTS IS NOW THE ISSUE These are some of the reasons why the issue is joined between the mem- bers of the present board of regents and those whom they represent, and TALK PRICE CONTROL Strong efforts to hold off the impending knell of grain speculation marked every . grain market quotation of the week. Re- ports that the government would surely end the suspense by fixing prices, were - repeatedly circulated in grain exchange *news, and prices grew limp in all future trading. Beside this discussion, other things grew insignificant. Some 'notice was paid to increasing arrivals of winter wheat at southern markets, and lower prices enforced in consequence.. Lower quotations all along the line resulted from the limit to speculation talk. ‘While rumors of near approaching sus- pension of future trading in grain were rife, editorials: and optimistic forecasts were indulged -in the market comment, aiming to peint out the disasters that would follow ‘any limitation of future trading: Much encouragement '~ was gathered from suggestions that the fu- * tures market might not be denied to . other grains, but would be enforced only in regard to wheat. 4 ‘Weather reports , from . government sources indicated that the week was gen- - erally 'a dry one with" prospects for a Markets for Farmers correspondingly shorter yield. Some good : rains were received in spots where they wete much needed, but on the whole the spring wheat crop is regarded as shooting for shorter heads than usual Minneapolis Wheat Futures s September July High| Low High] Low June .12.36 [2.29%6]1.79 (1.77 June .12.35 [2.25 ]1.80 |[1.77 June .12.33 [2.27%]1.77%|1.705 June 2027 l2i24 7174 1M1 June 2.24 |2.16 |1.73 [1.70 Minneapolis Cash Wheat No. 1 Nor.

Reports from all sources indicated that the ‘cattle were generally of medium or poor quality, and the corn fed stock were scarce. ; ¢ .. As a result, tops on butcher steers with a few exceptional .instances) fell to the $10 class instead of $12 where quotations have recently soared for num- erous small pickings. The bulk of the run for the week was marketed at under 10, bulls and the she-stock offered being ocked down at the lower levels than for many weeks. The stocker and feeder speculator were nearly out of the market. Farmers have come through with fewer and fewer or- ders for finishing cattle, apparently afraid of the unstable-quotations, and of what v happen in the way of feed prices and gaéaef prices before the fed stuff returns 4o market. With country buyers shy, the speculators took hold of very little of the offerings, enabling the packing houses to get an easy price on everything. Plenty of veals kept coming, and some b prices were paid. TFourteen dollars riot uncommon for the plump, tender zlnd, but veals a little over choice weight were Killed at $8 to $11 per 100 pounds, fell in fayor, the price ranging off $1 from those of the previous week, and inating the $16 animal from the farm- market. ong cutting in prices twéen the choice heavies and the light- weights continued, Pigs in small quan- es brought around 9 cents. the state administration, standing be- hind Dr. Ladd and his associates. ‘Whatever may be the outcome of the fight which is likely now to develop either in the courts or in some other direction, the people of the state of North Dakota must finally have their say. But one thing has prevented the powers behind the regents from put- ting their will into effect long ago and keeping from the public the true story of what they were doing. It has been the rise into power of the new political element in the state, the organization of farmers which in the last election chose a state ticket nearly complete and a governor who is determined to stand by the people. FLUSHED WITH VICTORY, STALWARTS ARE RECKLESS The stalwarts, the political faction to which the regents belong, the fac- tion which recently attempted to override the governor and the at- torney general by calling an unau- thorized factional convention to nemi- nate a candidate for congress, have been exultant since the supreme court aided them in resisting the governor's attempt to displace them. They are now thirsting for the second .battle. If they win that they will feel secure in going ahead with their plans to wreck the agricultural college by mak- ing it subordinate to the interests of business outside of North Dakota in- stead of representing ihe people of North Dakota, as it now does. They will go ahead with this program - if they dare. Whether they dare or not depends somewhat on the attitude of the peo- ple of North Dakota. Some prime lambs beat $16 but sheep generally were scarce, and the older stock ranged away sharply from the high levels, ewes and bucks selling as low as $7, and the bulk being between that and $9.50.

South the loss due to poor handling on the farms has been one-third to one-half, -and commission houses have been warn- ing farmers to candle eggs before ship- ping. On account of the unstable condi- “tion, quotations 'on eggs are not given in the table below for Dallas, Texas, where “loss off”” quotations makes quotations unreliable. New potatoes are beginning to arrive at the bigger centers from the southern fields and second crops are being planted in the two-crop sections. .New potatoes are being quoted somewhat higher per bushel, for instance in Minneapolis $4, where old crop is going no higher than $3.25. 'Indications in many places are that there will be a short potato crop due to dry weather. Butter prices have held up well, al- though there have been some drops in certain centers. The cream flow is at- taining its maximum and vast quantities of butter are going into storage. The wide spread in guotations below in sever- al instances is a spread between country prints and the finest creamery prints. Bulk butter is not quoted. _ The following table gives outside com- - mission house-to-retailer quotations on the three prime staples of the farm, but- ter, eggs, and potatoes in eight of the largest cities of the country from the At- lantic to the Pacific coast. Quotations on butter are by the pound, on eggs by the dozen, on .potatoes by the bushel, except in the 'case of New York and Pittsburg, where potatoes are quoted by the 180-pound barrel.
