SEED DEALER WINS SUIT. 



Contract to Orow Beans. 



In the recent Colorado case of Balcom 

 vs. Michael, 191 Pacific Eeporter, 97, 

 the plaintiff was nonsuited in an attempt 

 to recover an additional allowance un- 

 der a seed growing contract. 



The facts of this interesting case 

 were as follows: The defendant, a 

 dealer in seeds, made a contract with 

 the plaintiff, a farmer, to grow for and 

 deliver to the defendant a quantity of 

 seed beans. The controversy turned 

 upon the construction of that contract. 

 One Williams, an agent of the defend- 

 ant, called upon the plaintiff, and pre- 

 sented to him a printed proposition, di- 

 rected to the defendant, specifying the 

 manner in which the seeds were to be 

 planted, cultivated, threshed and 

 cleaned, all in detail, but with blanks 

 for the insertion of the acreage and 

 price to be paid on delivery of the seeds. 

 The final paragraph of the proposition 

 was as follows: "There are no agree- 

 ments or understandings regarding the 

 subject-matter of this letter other than 

 expressed above." 



The letter was signed by the plain- 

 tiff, and below his signature is the ac- 

 ceptance of the defendant, "By Colie 

 Williams." Below that is the follow- 

 ing: "Guarantee prices as much as 

 any other house." 



The plaintiff was paid at the rate 

 stated in the proposition and then sued 

 for an additional 2 cents per pound. On 

 the trial it was shown that another seed 

 house paid $10 per hundred pounds for 

 the same kind of beans, and the court 

 gave judgment for the amount claimed, 

 together with some small items not con- 

 tested. 



Judgment Savened. 



Reversing this judgment, the Colorado 

 Supreme court says: "It is clearly 

 shown that the agent, Williams, was 

 not authorized to contract for beans at 

 a price gres/ter than $8 per hundred. 

 The plaintiff's theory is that the de- 

 fendant ratified the act of his agent in 

 writing the memorandum on the letter, 

 by not repudiating it. The defendant 

 introduced testimony showing repudia- 

 tion, but, there being a conflict of evi 

 dence on that point, we are bound by 

 the court's finding on it, which, in sup- 

 port of the judgment, we must presume 

 he made in favor of the plaintiff. 



"The case must therefore be deter- 

 mined on a consideration of other fea- 

 tures of the case. 



Memorandum on Ck>ntract. 



"The presenting of the letter to the 

 plaintiff for signature constituted, in ef- 

 fect, an offer by the defendant to con- 

 tract for the growing of beans on the 

 terms therein stated. When it was 

 signed by the plaintiff and delivered to 

 the defendant's agent, and accepted by 

 him, it became a bilateral contract, 

 made by parties having full authority to 

 make it in that form. The memorandum 

 below the signatures was, by the final 

 paragraph of the letter, expressly ex- 

 cluded from the contract. To treat it 

 otherwise is to contradict the plaintiff's 

 written statement. 



"The memorandum amounts to an in 

 dependent proposition by the plaintiff 

 to the defendant to modify the contract 

 into which the parties had entered. It 

 was for the plaintiff to show that his 

 proposition was accepted by the de
