YOUR WORST FARM BLUNDER
t ' - a
Did you sver Risks a mUtake?
Ol coursg you did We all do
Tht only difference is that some people don t realise their blunders)
they go right on making the same mistakes over and over again
‘Others never make ’ the same mlitakc twice they learn something
from every error
The first kind of people go broke The second kind have money In
the bank '
' Sometimes the telling of your blunder to others will help you to keep
away from the same mistake next time Often too your story will help
to keep the other fellow out of the same hole
Two years ago this month The Oklahoma Farmer-Stockman iikefl
its readers to write letters on the subject “My Greatest Farm Blunder of
1913“ Hundreds of letters came in and the lessons they taught were so
valuable to the farmers of Oklahoma and surrounding states that we have
decided to repeat the invitation now '
There will be $15 in prises divided between the writers of the five best
letters on this same subject brought up to date “My Greatest Farm Blun-
der of lots" The writer of the best letter will get $5 and the other prises
will be $4 $3 $a and $1 Letters must be not more than 400 words in
length and must be mailed on or before January 1 1916 to Carl Williams

Th Tms WarthouM Law
Fred W Davis commissioner of ag-
riculture of Texas in an address be-
fore the national conference on mar-
keting and farm credits at Chicago
told tlie story of the Texas state ware-
house law He said that it furnishes
the nucleus of a marketing system
that will eliminate waste provide true
grading prevent field damage provide
Insurance and enable the owner to hold
his cotton and raise money on the
warehouse receipt which the board of
supervisors issues to him Mr Davis
said in parti
“The purpose of the Texas law as
stated in its enacting clause is to pro-
vide a system of state bonded ware-'
houses and to afford a method of co-
operative marketing for those engaged
in the production of farm and ranch
properties -
“The law whieh by its terms is to
be administered by a board of super-
visors comprising the governor com-
missioner of agriculture and comrals
sioner of banking salaried in their of-
ficial capacities and therefore drawing
no pay as supervisors authorizes the
charter of corporations which may
operate warehouses for the storage
grading weighing and classification of
cotton' wool wheat corn rice alfalfa
fruit silage and other farm orchard
and ranch products All( weights
grades and classes are required to be
made In accordance with the standard
of weights grades and classes pre-
scribed by the board of warehouse
supervisors
“The board of supervisor employs
such experts examiners gin inspectors
and clerks and any other needed ser-
vice in carrying out the purposes of
the law To a certain extent the
board and the examiners appointed by
it are clothed with inquishory powers
being authorized to administer oaths
“All public gins whether operated
by individuals partnerships joint
stock companies or corporations are
charged by the law with a public use
and must secure licenses from the
board of supervisors to operate Every
such gin is required under penalties
and a performance bond executed con
currently with the application for li-
cense to take from every bale ginned
by it three fair true ana correct sam-
ples of cotton one to be filed and pre-
served by it and the other two de-
livered to the owner of the cotton
who if he stores the bale in the bond-
ed warehouse must deliver one to the
warehouse manager to be preserved
by him The fairness and correctness
of these samples guaranteed by the
bond referred to above is to be fur-
ther certified by the sworn affidavit
“The system if it works out as de-
signed will do these things: It will
eliminate practically every source of
the farmers’ waste It will secure for
the owner the proper ginning and bal-
ing It will secure for the owner the
true grading It will prevent country
and other damages to the cotton It
will provide the owner with insurance
And finally to enable the distressed
owner to hold his cotton it provides
him with a ' uniform warehouse re-
ceipt which (If he desires it) is in-
vested with the character of an “at
sight’’ negotiable security and on
which he can raise money in any of the
commercial centers of the country
“In a nutshell the tenant farmer—
or any other cotton owner — under this
system gets the benefit of regulated
(inning baling sampling and grading
n any event and besides the other ad-
vantages named a warehouse recejpt
he can negotiate at once as security
for money with which to pay his debts
until in a market fed to meet the exact
requirements of the spinners he can
sell his stored cotto'n for its intrinsic
value”
