m STATE FARM
MARKETS BULLETIN
î
Apples.
There is much speculation as to the
prospective price to lie paid for Idaho
apples, and while this is not yet fully
determined, I uesire to ask the growers
not to be too hasty in contracting
their crop. From present indications
we have reason to believe the price
will be good, and we hope to be in
possession of information that will in
sure and stabilize the best price ob
tainable. ^
Our reports from producers and
State Horticulturist Graham are to the
effect that we have one of the best
apple crops ever grown in the state—
good'quantity, size, color and remark
ably free from worms. If united ef
fort can be had on the, part of the
growers, we should be able to realize
a just and uniform price for them.
We are now searching the markets
for additional quotations, and if any
growers have received quotations for
their crops, which they feel is equit
able, and tiiat market could handle a
greater quantity than the grower is
able to supply, it would be helpful to
other producers if they would pluce
the farm markets in touch with it.
There should be paid a uniform price
for picking, either by the day or by
the box, that one grower will not bid
against his associate grower. Have
you any suggestions to offer as to what
that uniform price should be?
If the communities in any section of
the state where fruits are not grown
will organize under their farm bu
reaus, or other suitable head, and pool
their orders for fruits, submitting
same to the farm markets department,
we will place them in touch with pro
ducers, that they may buy direct.
Wheat.
By way of answer to many inquiries
respecting the sale of wheat, will say
tliat the base price of $2.20 ut Chi
cago terminal is a maximum price—a
price fixed in order to prevent wheat
advancing beyond that figure. I am
informed that this price includes the
cost of handling, by dealers, and
transportation charges, subject also to
any dockage or deductions justly made
for foreign matter or inferior wheat.
This fixed price does not mean that
dealers must pay that full price, less
transportation charges and actual cost
of handling. Dealers are privileged to
pay just as much less for the wheat
as they can buy it of the producers
You will see, by tlds, that the
for.
element of speculation, at the expense
of the grower, is not eliminated ; while
it is eliminated at the expense of the
consumer, and that the producer pays
the cost of handling, and all commis
sion the dealer lias power to charge.
The fixed maximum price of $2.20
bushel at Chicago would permit the
paying of $1.85 per bushel, on an av
erage, f. o. b. cars at southern Idaho
points. It is estimated that the cost
of handling is about 3c a bushel, which
takes care of shrinkage, and in many
Instances nets a profit to the dealer.
It is quite certain that every
above that is clear cut profit for the
dealer, if his system eliminates need
a
cent
less waste.
All grains received are subject to
dockage for sand, dirt, weed seed,
stems and certain other mutter that
may be in excess of one-half of one
per cent by weight, and also subject
to grading as to quality.
The only way in which producers
can protect themselves against exorbi
tant profits on the part of the dealer
is to pool their products and market
direct, or through some farmers' or
ganization now in existence, and of
good standing.

BEFORE THE WAR.
Money Furnished by Germany's Am
bassador for the Purpose of De
stroying Life and Property, It
Is Charged.
Washington.—Further disclosures of
far-reaching German propaganda, in
trigues and plots In this country prior
to the diplomatic break with Ger
many, were made on Saturday by the
committee on public information.
In a bulletin styled "official expose,"
the committee quotes numerous let
ters and extracts from letters seized
by the department of justice In April,
1910, in a raid upon the New York
office of Wolfe von Igel. Von Igel,
in carrying on his manifold pro-Ger
man and anti-American activities, the
documents snow, was in constant
touch with 'Jie German embassy and
with Count von Bernstorff, German
ambassador to the United States.
"In the form of letters, telegrams,
notations, checks, receipts, registers,
cash books, cipher codes, lists of spies
and other memoranda and records,"
the committee says, "were found indi
cations—in some instances of the
vaguest nature, in others of the most
damning conclusiveness—that the Ger
man imperial government, through its
representatives in a then friendly na
tion, was concerned witli—
"Violations of the laws of the Unit
ed States.
"Destruction of lives and property
in merchant vessels on the high seas.
"Irish revolutionary plots against
Great Britain.
"Fomenting ill-feeling against the
United States in Mexico.
"Subornation of American writers
and lecturers.
"Financing of propaganda.
"Maintenance of a spy system under
the guise of a commercial investiga
tion bureau.
"Subsidizing of n bureau for the pur
pose of stirring up labor troubles in
munitions plants.
"The bomb industry and other relat
ed activities."
Case of Holland.
The committee, of which Secretaries
Lansing, Baker and Daniels are mem
bers, and George Creel, chairman, has
tills to say concerning Holland :
"It has long been an open secret
that Holland is merely a way station
for shipments of contraband into Ger
many. Here is official coqfjrituition,
from the Yon Igel records whWÄi would
seem to indicate a suspicious and con
fidential relation between the 'Holland
commission' and the German diplomat
1c officials accredited to this country,
or possibly a belief by the Germans
that they could not successfully get
the munitions to their own country.
The message iu code, with interlinear
translation, is eutered as 'A 2493' and
headed 'German embassy, Washington,
D. C., April 6, 1916.' It runs as fol
lows :
" 'Telegram from Berlin by secret
roundabout way for Carl Heysen : Con
sent sale Holland three hundred thou
sand chests (cartridges) and two hun
dred tons powder. I'lease get in touch
with Holland commissioner. Sender,
war minister, foreign office, iu repre
sentation.
" TIATZFELDT.' "
Prince Hatzfeldt was an official of
the German embassy.
Tlie Hamburg-Americnn line bureau
of investigation, the committee states,
an "innocent pretending agency, was
at tlie outset the secret service of the
Hamburg- American Steamship com
pany. Under Paul Koenig, its mana
ger, it became an adjunct of the Ger

SEN. KING ATTACKS AUSTRIA.
Says War Should Now Be Declared
Because of Austria's Action.
Washington.—Exposure of Count
von BernstorfTs $50,000 slush fund
produced Saturday these outstanding
developments :
1— Approximately 75 per cent of con
gress wants an investigation of the im
putations that members were ap
proached by German propagandists.
2— Tlie state department and other
administration officials oppose an in
vestigation. They believe there is
nothing to be gained and that such a
course would give Germany tlie im
pression that a grave scandal was dis
rupting the nation. It would array tlie
6tate department against congress.
3— Senator King read letters into
the record showing that Austria, even
while at peace with this country, had
paid money in to offset the sentiment
of the good work of the allies. He said
this country should now declare war
