Against the Scheme.

The farmers of Montgomery
county met last week and passed
resolutions condemning the pro-
posed new tax law in no uncer.
tam terms. They called upon
Governor Stanley to keep his
election promises and reduce the
number Of commissions, instead
of making more. They showed
wherein if the whiskey men in
Kentucky were made to pay tax
on their product as farmers had
to do, there would be plenty of
money to pay off all State debts
and have money left in two
years. They also asked the Gov
ernor why not the coal coming
from our mines be taxed and
help pay off the States indebted
ness. Upon the whole, their res
olutions were stingers for the
foul bunch.
Farmers of franklin county
have also passed similar resolu-
tions. The bill is now recogniz-
ed i'm its true light--a skin game
to play on the farmers.

SEED WHEAT At ACTUAL COST
FOR WESTERN SLOPE GROWERS

A concerted and nationwide move
ment is being organized to increase
the 1918 crop OF wheat above all pre-
vious records. and especially to bring
about the planting Of record-breaking
acreages this fall
The provision insisted upon by
President Wilson, and finally adopted
by congress, fixing the minimum price
OF 50 per bushel. figure higher than
more than a few present day farmers
have ever received, was the beginning
of this effort.
The whole nation. not alone the
farmers. are vitally Interested in the
production OF an enormous crop Of
wheat next year.
The flour mill interests OF the ma
ton have taken the matter up al
ready and are urging the use OF the
very best seed, and are insisting that
all seed be treated with formaldehyde
to prevent smut in the wheat.
w. w. Campbell Of the Mesa flour
mill, states that his company which
controls many mills. has recently
purchased some OF the very best
Kansas "Shoe-Peg" Turkey Red wheat
and that a corload Of approximately
800 bushels is enroute to Grand
Junction to be distributed over the
Western slope. and that other cars
will be shipped as needed.
The actual cost of this wheat will
be about $4.25 per hundred pounds,
sacked and delivered in Grand juno
ton
Great stress is being placed upon
the treatment OF seed wheat with
formaldehyde, not only by the gov
ernment, but by the mill men also,
because OF the loss from smut. such
wheat not being tit to feed to poul-
try or live stock.
The national grain standard act
went into effect on July l. and a
federal inspector is now inspecting
all wheat shipped from primary To
terminal markets. or from one state
to another.
Under the provisions Of this act
wheat is graded as tested as to weight
and quality.
For grain under weight there is
a deduction or dockage from the price
and for wheat that is over the stand
