American Agriculturist, August 16, 1924 
Service Bureau 
Don’t Buy “Charity Groceries”—Report Them 
H AVE you been solicited to buy gro¬ 
cery supplies, the profits from which 
will go toward an orphans’ home in New 
York? Don’t! Buy your groceries when 
and where you will and make such gifts 
to charity as you can afford, but harden 
your heart against this combination of 
business and philanthropy. 
This advice is called forth by a letter 
which just arrived in our Service Bureau 
mail. It says: 
“Gentlemen: Yesterday a man came 
to our house soliciting orders for toilet 
articles and flavoring extracts, goods to 
be delivered and paid for within a few 
days. The profits from these goods is for 
the benefit of an orphans’ home which has 
headquarters at 723 East 9th Street, New 
York City. 
“I would like to know if there is such a 
place and if they gather funds in this way. 
I would like very much to know this be¬ 
fore goods are delivered. Also any advice 
as to treatment of such fellows if they are 
fakers.” 
Supervision Helps Detect Frauds 
We immediately referred this matter 
to the Charity Organization Society of 
the city, which exists largely for the pur¬ 
pose of protecting sympathetic givers 
from unauthorized or badly conducted 
charities. Their answer was prompt and 
decisive. 
“ Have nothing whatever to do with it,” 
said their secretary. “We have heard of 
the project and when we looked into it 
were not at all satisfied by what we found. 
As a result, the district attorney’s office is 
investigating the home and is anxious for 
help from those who have been solicited.” 
To answer R. M. H.’s last question, 
therefore: Get the man’s name, address 
and all other facts you can and communi¬ 
cate at once with Mr. Lehman, Criminal 
Courts Building, New York City. We 
are grateful to Mr. H. for reporting this 
matter and hope it will save others from 
having their sympathies exploited. 
Egg Money Arrears Collected 
T^OR some time our subscriber, Mr. 
•I , W. B., N. Y., had been shipping eggs 
to a New York City firm and receiving his 
checks promptly; when none came in 
April he did not worry until a hasty 
calculation told him that the firm was 
more than $80 behind. He then enlisted 
the Service Bureau to help him get his 
money. 
Bit by bit the firm has paid up, until 
just recently Mr. B. wrote us that the last 
check had come. Eight checks in all 
were sent him, ranging in size from 
$26.32 to $6.58, but they totalled up the 
entire indebtedness. As the firm is not a 
licensed and bonded one, we have advised 
Mr. B. to sell his eggs elsewhere here¬ 
after. 
Don’t Say Yes; Say No! 
I T is now easy for you to say ‘yes’ and 
share with me in the profits of this 
business.” 
The letter from which that sentence is 
quoted leads off a long explanation of 
a profit-sharing scheme. One of our sub¬ 
scribers referred it to us, enclosing also 
a letter which was sent him to sign and 
return to the company. The latter 
pledged him to the payment of $100 in 
installments for which he was to receive 
a certificate for 10 shares of 7 per cent, 
preferred stock and one for 5 shares of 
common. 
We advised our subscriber that in the 
long run it would probably be easier if he 
said no rather than yes. Highly specula¬ 
tive, with no guarantee of a return and 
no apparent market for the sale of the 
stock if the owner wished to realize on it, 
the investment appealed to us as a very 
dangerous experiment. 
Don’t say yes to stock salesmen or 
persuasive letter writers until you have 
taken the advice of your banker, of the 
American Agriculturist investment 
specialist, or of some equally reliable and 
disinterested person. It is cheaper in the 
long run to say no! 
How Is Manila Rope Identified? 
Will you tell me how to tell a first grade Manila rope 
from an inferior article? One dealer tells me that there is 
always a red, white and blue paper twisted in the strands 
of pure Manila rope. Is that true in all cases or only in a 
certain make.—C. L. S., New York. 
The red, white and blue label is the 
trademark of just one particular concern, 
the Columbia Rope Company. This 
indicates their products. The surest 
way to identify rope is to examine the 
burlap cover of the bale or roll. If the 
burlap covering is merely stamped 
“Manila rope” it is not pure. But if it is 
stamped “pure Manila rope,” it is 
pretty reasonable to believe that it is 
pure. There are, of course, certain tests, 
but these can not be manipulated satis¬ 
factorily outside of a laboratory. 
The rope with a red, white and blue 
label is put out by a reliable firm and 
you can rest assured that whether you 
buy Manila rope or pure Manila rope you 
are getting a good product. 
Legal Questions 
“ Last February I let my farm on shares, lease beginning 
March 1st, 1924, and expiring February 28, 1925, I to 
furnish seed, tools, stock, etc., the tenant to do all the 
work. He was to have one-third, and I was to have 
two-thirds. He worked very well, getting in oats, draw¬ 
ing and spreading manure, working in the vineyard, etc., 
until June 4, when he quit, taking his family on that 
date, but lie did not notify me until June 6. He has since 
removed his goods from the house and apparently 
abandoned the job, but threatens to sue me for not ful¬ 
filling some minor points of the contract. Now what I 
want to know is this: What am I to do with the place? 
He has sown oats, the hay will soon be ready to cut, he 
has an interest in two calves and four pigs born while he 
was here, but he has just gone and left it all. Can I go 
on and work the place, harvest the crops, sell the pigs, etc.? 
I have been told that the failure of one party to perform 
the terms of a contract does not relieve the other party, 
and that I will have to have an order from the court 
before I can let the place, harvest the crops, or sell the 
stock in which he has an interest. Wifi you kindly 
advise me as soon as possible what course I had better 
pursue?”—H. H. T., New York. 
In reply to your inquiry it is our opinion 
that your tenant has abandoned his 
contract and has hence committed a 
breach. We would suggest that you 
communicate with him, offer to perform 
your part of the contract in every detail 
and then get a statement from him as to 
whether he will perform or not. If he 
refuses, we can see no reason why you 
cannot enter upon and work the farm. 
Before a new lease can be made, however, 
it will be necessary to rescind the old one, 
unless it contained a provision making it 
void and of no effect in the event of his 
failure to perform as agreed. 
* * 4 = 
“Can a person force another person to build half of a 
line fence in New York?”—D. I. W., New York. 
Replying to your inquiry concerning 
the building of line fences we wish to 
refer you to Section 360 of the Town Law, 
which reads as follows: 
“Each owner of two adjoining tracts of 
land, except where they otherwise agree, 
shall make and maintain a just and 
equitable portion of the division fence 
between such lands, unless both of said 
adjoining owners shall agree to let the 
said lands be open, along the division line, 
to the use of all animals which may be 
lawfully upon the lands of either.” 
The duty imposed by this section 
relates solely to the owners of the field, 
and has no application to a lessee in 
possession. 
* * * 
“Our neighbors, without speaking to us about it, 
plowed a ditch for about 15 or 20 rods into our field ana 
threw the sods on to the meadow. The sods will be in 
the way when they mow the meadow. Has he a right 
to do that? There should be a ditch of about 80 rods to 
take the water 08 our land that comes from his farm. 
Should he help us make this ditch or must we do it J 
ourselves? ”—J M., New York. 
From the facts given in your inquiry 
concerning the ditch plowed by your 
neighbor on your land, it seems that an 
action for trespass ought to lie; but your 
neighbor is under no duty to help you 
make a ditch on your land to drain off 
water coming from his farm unless there 
is an agreement to that effect.
