ADVERTISEMENTS What a Co-operative Packing Plant Means to the Northwest Under the present system, the cotoperative ideas of the Equity Co-operative Packing Plant at Fargo operating at a capacity, will be able to save the stockholders on commissions and yardage alone a total amount of $75,000 per year. ‘This saving would in less than slx years' time pay for the entire plant, or in other words, the en- tire stock raised in North Dakota alone in one year would produce a saving on commissions and yardage an amount sufficient to pay for the entire plant in less than one year's time not mentioning anything about preventing excessive shrinkage on long distance hauls, We will leave it to the farmers or stock raisers just what profits they have been giving away to middlemen that should really belong to the people who rightfully earn this margin—the producers.

Plants Three of these Wisconsin plants are operated on a co-oper=- ative basis and are muking progress regardless of all the criticism given by parties UNFRIENDLY to CO-OPERATIVE movements. These plants are all of modern construction and so arranged to operate economically and utilize all by-products the same as the large packer. Many packing plants are independent of the large packers. Throughout the United States there are nearly 1,000 plants of various sizes, but the large packers control only about 55 per cent of the entire meat supply. This leaves still a large field for independent co-operative packing plants. The Work Has Started to Put North Dakota in the List of Packing House States. Success is in Sight, You Can Help.

Seed Shortage Causes Action Committee Meets to Discuss Couties Issuing o Bonds ARMERS of "North Dakota who have not enough of their own seed grain for next year's planting, will have to take early action if they want to get seed from their respective counties through the proposed issues of county bonds or warrants. This was the de- cision of the special seed grain com- mittee and bankers at the office of Secretary of Agriculture and Labor Hagan at Bismarck November 24. The bankers were -called in to give a glimpse as to financial conditions and said that the shortage is so great the banks can not undertake to advance the money necessary to buy the seed grain, This means that farmers will have to get busy early after the new year, for there are petitions to get out ask- ing for the issuance of bonds, and the work should be begun in time so that the grain can be bought, tested as to its purity and germination, and de- livered to farmers in time for planting. All persons wishing aid in financing their crop must file with the county auditor or county clerk of their respec- tive counties an application duly sworn to before March 1. This appli- catfon must tell how much land the applicant owns and farms, what obli- gations stand against it, etc. But that is rather late in the year to undertake the collection of seed for barley, oats, wheat, flax and corn crops. It is ne- cessary for the county commissioners to be petitioned by at least 100 tax- payers before they can issue seed grain bonds, and this application must be in the hands of the county commissioners before April 15. One reason why there should be no delay that may carry the matter too - late in the spring, is the need for pure seed that will germinate, which Pro- fessor. H, L. Bolley, state pure. seed commissioner, has called attention to in a statement just given out. Several years ago some western counties had. to resort to this bonding law, and the seed furnished by county commission- ers was so foul that the farmers, it is said, have not yet recovered from the wild oats scourge it brought on them. In procuring the 1918 seed supply the committee, the agncultural college and Commissioner Hagan wish to. avoid any such catastrophe. FARMERS URGED TO KEEP SEED GRAIN The committee urged that all farm- ers having flax, barley, oats, corn or wheat retain that of good seed quality as .it is certain that someone will be in need of some of it. This applies -particularly to all but wheat, for the shortage in these other grains is seri- ous, and the committee has even found it necessary to hunt up supplies outside of North Dakota, which is known to be unable to supply its own needs. These supplies can be had when the money with which to purchase them is available, and that, it is expected, will be forthcoming from the sale of county securities, as neither the farmers nor the country banks are financially able to purchase them. Those in attend- ance at the conference were. Thomas Cooper, chairman; J. N. Ha-_ gan; A. J. Suratt, Valley City; W. W.. Reed, Amenia, and J. H, Sheppard, Agricultural college, secreta-ry ;mem- . bers of the North Dakota Seed Stocks commlttee. and A, L. Hunter, . Gmnd ers’ asociation. Governor Lynn J. Frazier attended the conference as did Assistant Attorney General Edward B. Cox’ as representative of the attorney general's office.
