FARMERS WARNED

CERN
Attempt to Control Distribu
tion in fdaho Fails.
EVIL LURKS IN CONTRACT
Spokane Company Pays $10,000 to
Lawyer and $5000 to J. F.
Lanjncr for Publicity.
The efforts of the wheat growers'
association, organized several months
ago at Spokane under the name of
Washing-ton, Oregon and Idaho Wheat
Growers' association of the Pacific
northwest, to break into the Idaho
field is meeting with the same oppo
sition that it has encountered else
where in the northwest. Farmers of
Idaho are being warned against the
movement which is an apparent effort
to control the distribution of Idaho
wheat for at least the next six years,
perhaps indefinitely.
Farmer, Are Warned.
At the initiative of the Intermoun
tain Farmers' Equity association the
facts in the case have been brought to
light and in every community a move
ment Is on toPt to warn the farmers
to be on their guard against the Spo
kane concern. A. Y. Satterfield, gen
eral manager of the Farmers' Equity,
points out in a letter which the equity
is sending to all its members that "the
farmer agrees to deliver his entire
crop of wheat each succeeding year
and gets for the same whatever this
association pays him after deducting
enormous expenses, holding up enough
of his wheat to pay for the construc
tion of elevators, warehouses, etc."
Mr. Satterf ield's letter says in part:
"These people acknowledge to our
president, M. J. Kerr, that they
paid the attorney, Aaron Sapiro,
of San Francisco, $10,000 to draw u
the contract. They also paid $5000
to one J. F. Langner for publicity and
advertising work and $0000 to one
A. A. Elmore for organization work.
These do not include other expenses
which these people will be put to and
which the farmers will have to pay,
specially the ones who sign this
hrewd, iron-clad contract.
Farmer Agrees to Pay for Salt.
"One of the provisos in this con
tract provides that the farmer will
pay 25c per bushel as liquidating
damages for breach of the contract.
He also agrees to pay all expenses in
every description connected with any
suit which will be brought against
him for breach of contract."
The letter concludes:
"We will thank you to investigate
this matter more fully and advise
your friends and associates to be
ware of this new concern and thereby
you will render them a great service."
