ZIEM Mention the Leader When Writing Advertisers North Dakota and South Dakota Some Difference in Laws of the Two States, This Farmer Discovers DITOR Nonpartisan Lead- er: The newspapers and magazines in other states have lots of fun about us farmers of North Dakota who belong to the Non- partisan league. I wish the farmers of South Dakota had been as foolish last election. If they had been and had passed laws like we have I could have afforded to be a “$16 sucker” for 20 years and not been a cent more out of pocket than I am now after going up against some of the South Dakota laws which they have at the present time. I owned a farm in Perkins county in that state last winter and the Meadow State bank wrote me and wanted to sell it for me. The First National bank of Lemmon had-a mortgage on the land, only a part of which was due this- winter. I made a deal through the Meadow bank and enough was paid down in that bank to have paid the Lemmon bank what they had com- ing, twice over. ThiS money was to be turned over to me as soon as the purchaser’s attorney had examined the abstracts. As T had originally purchased the Grain Grades (Continued from page 4) claimed he did not know how much rye was mixed with the wheat. Mr. Hagan said that in North Da- kota he knew that millers were mix- ing as much as 15 per cent durum with spring wheat and “getting away with it,” in addition to what rye was mixed with wheat. Mr. Hagan next took up the charge that a 15 per cent moisture content would cause spring wheat, shipped by the Gulf of Mexico, to heat and spoil. “I was in New Orleans a few weeks ago,” said Mr. Hagan, “and I went through the state-owned elevators. They told me they handled little spring wheat for shipment by the Gulf and had not handled a grain for the last two years. " “The important thing to consider is not the weight or the moisture but the quality of spring wheat, which is far superior to other wheats. In North Dakota we have used 49 pounds of flour made of a mixture of 60 per cent spring wheat and 40 per cent southern wheat, and we got 55 one- pound loaves of bread from it. We have taken 45 pounds of flour made entirely from spring wheat and have produced 66 one-pound loaves from this flour.” J. A. McGovern, manager of the Mill and Elevator association of North Dakota, followed Mr. Hagan. Mr. McGovern called attention to the fact that the federal grades penalized farmers for so-called ‘“inseparable matter.” “The farmer’s loss is greater from this cause than from any other,” he said. “I would like to ask the millers what becomes of this inseparable ma- terial. I will answer myself and if I am wrong any miller will have the chance to point it out. This insepar- able material goes into the by-prod- ucts and is sold back to the farmers at bran and shorts prices. The in- separable material should be graded as dockage and it is nothing more nor less than that.” Goetzman of La Crosse was the only miller among those present who attempted to contradict any of the charges of either Mr. Hagan or Mr. McGovern. Goetzman, who had previ- ously charged the farmers of the land from the Lemmon bank and they had given me a warranty deed for it, which fact was known to all the par- ties to the deal, there should not be much reason for a great deal of delay in looking over the title. Anyhow, the First National at Lem- mon popped a foreclosure on me with- out warning when they knew the mon- ey was on deposit in the Meadow bank and they had been notified that it would be paid to them as soon as the satisfaction was obtained. If this land was in North Dakota they couldn’t have played that trick on me and robbed me of my money, but they would have had to give me 30 days’ notice first and I would have had plen- ty of time to see what was the matter with those “abstracts” or whatever else was delaying the deal. I hope you will publish this in your paper and let farmers in other states know how we protect ourselves against snide tricks of this kind in North Da- kota. Maybe the farmers of South Dakota and other states will wake up some day. MARTIN ROTHECKER. Falsen, N. D. ‘Hearing” Proves Farce Northwest with “sloppy, careless work,” said: “It is true that the mill- ers are using a percentage of south- ern winter wheat with the spring wheat from North Dakota. The rea- son they are doing it is that the North Dakota wheat is not good enough to make flour out of alone. You would have to feed it to the hogs if we did not ship southern wheat to Minneap- olis to mix with it.” : Mr. Hagan told Goetzman that at the state-owned mill at Drake, N. D,, hard spring wheat was being used ex- clusively and that this flour was what made 66 one-pound loaves of bread from 45 pounds of flour. Goetzman did not have anything to say to this. Mr. Ingersoll of Minnesota indorsed Mr. Hagan’s appeal for a further hearing somewhere in the spring wheat producing. area. Secretary Meredith did not answer either Mr. Hagan or Mr. Ingersoll. The hearing in the Red room of the La Salle hotel actually occupied .only about four hours. The millers and grain dealers composed about four- fifths of the audience and about four- fifths of the speakers. It must be said that Secretary Meredith indicat- ed a desire to be fair, but he admitted a lack of knowledge of the situation and the sentiment of the meeting was so predominatingly against the farm- ers that it was hard for their repre- sentatives to see how they could ex- pect a fair deal. GRADING UP POULTRY By the continued use of purebred males, flocks of mongrel barred Ply- mouth Rock chickens were graded up so well that at the end of three gen- erations individuals occurred which could not be distinguished from thor- oughbreds, the United States depart- ment of agriculture reports. ORGANIZE BEEF CLUBS Beef clubs are being organized in North Dakota by groups of from eight to sixteen farmers, one member fur- nishing an animal to be butchered each week so that all have fresh meat. The North Dakota Agricultural college furnishes full information on organi- zation and handling of the beef club. PAGE FOURTEEN ADVERTISEMENTS EQUITY-LEHIGH TIRES| No Money in Advance . C. 0.
