Thirteen old line companies writ
ing hail insurance withdrew from the
Montana field as a result of losses
sustained last season, according to
G. A. Rinehart, president of the
Ranchers' Hail and Fire Insurance
company, who states that his COM
pany wrote nearly $750,000 in hail
policies during the 1916 season and
came through without scratch.
At the beginning of this year there
were 20 policy holders in the Ranch
ers' company, and campaign is be-
ing pushed briskly to get 5000 mem
bers before the first hail hits the
grain fields this year.
"The Ranchers' is strictly mu-
tual company" said Mr.. Rinehart,
land in order to extend our mem
bership to all parts of the state, we
demand only small fee for enroll
ing a member. Once a farmer is a
member of the company he receives
the benefits by paying only the ac-
tual assessments, and an annual
membership fee of 81.
"Our bylaws provide that the as
sessment shall not be more than
eight per cent One can realize how
reasonable this is when it is remem-
bered that last years hail caused the

most as great saving may be made
through more economical manufac-
ture, purchase. and use of foods as
can be made through methods of
production which are Immediately
feasible. AS an example, our bread
stuff supply may be increased eigh-
teen million barrels of flour per year
by milling our wheat SO as to make
81 per cent of the kernel into flour
instead of 70 per cent as at present.
This flour would have as high nutri-
tive value as that which we now use.
Another important saving may be
effected by making the diet as large
ly vegetarian as possible, without
lowering food efficiency, by partial
substitution of such foods as beans
and peas and of milk and it's prod
ucts for the more expensive meats.
The serious food wastes that oc-
cur in many households through a
lack of culinary knowledge and
skill may be mimimized through the
introduction of better methods.
National and State Organizations.
The conference recommends the
organization of a small central agri-
cultural body, whose services ana
presence might be required in Wash
ington constantly, to be composed of
men who have wide knowledge of ag-
riculture and executive experience.
Also small central body in each
state of five to seven members rep
resenting the various agricultural in
terests and appointed by the govern
or.
The national central body and the
state central bodies will be expected
to keep in intimate contact and to
work in close cooperation.
Appropriation of $25.OOO,OOO.
To meet the extraordinary needs
of agriculture in this emergency the
committee recommends an appropri-
alton of $25, 900 to be available
Immediately for the use of the sec
retary of agriculture as he may deem
best,
The Ronan pioneer., 1917-04-27

of the world at large, must rely more
completely than ever before upon the
American farmer. Therefore, the
man who tills the soil is rendering
as noble and patriotic a service as is
is man who bears the brunt of bat
tie.
Increase the Food Supply.
The food supply should be in
creased by the following means: In
creasing the acreage of spring wheat,
oats, barley, buckwheat, potatoes,
and beans; by the planting of gar
dens in city, town, and country so
that every family may have enough
vegetables for use during the sum-
mer and surplus to can for winter
use; increasing milk production one
fourth by better feeding methods;
substantially increasing pork produc-
tion by more extensive use of fall
litters, better care and feeding; dou-
bling the poultry products by doub-
ling the number of chickens usually
hatched; preventing loss of farm
animals by increasing state and fed
eral veterinary services; preventing
loss of crops by prompt and efficient
control of insect pests and plant dis
eases and the treating and testing OF
seen before planting.
Mobilizing Farm Labor.
The committees report on farm
labor is of special interest. It pro-
tests against the enlistment of men
from the farms for service at the
front and advocates enlistment of an
army for agricultural purposes, such
enlistment to be regarded as part OF
the public patriotic service and to be
given proper official recognition.
This enlistment should include three
classes: Men beyond military age,
men of military age but not accepted
for active military duty; and boys
between the ages of Is and 10. 1t is
pointed out that there are more taan
ten million of this latter class in
towns and cities not now engaged in
productive work.
The Ronan pioneer., 1917-04-27

It is recommended that the federal
trade commission cooperating with
the secretary of agriculture shall
make a thorough survey of the food
labor and other resources of the
country and of the needs of the To-
cal communities.
The secretary of agriculture
should be authorized by law to IL
cense warehouses, cold storage
brokers, packing plants, wholesale
distributors, etc., and when directed
by the president should have power
to take over and operate such OF
these businesses as may be warrant
ed in manner similar to the re-
ceivership. This undoubtedly means
that speculations in foodstuffs will
no longer be tolerated.
Price Fixing if Necessary.
Because of the very low food re-
serves of the world, the increase de-
mands due to the consumption and
waste of war, and the poor present
conditions of the winter wheat crop,
the committee believes that the pro-
ducer is assured of profitable prices
this year. Therefore the fixing of
maximum and minimum prices need
not be undertaken at this time but
because of the fact that such a
course may become necessary in the
near future it is recommended that
congress authorize the council OF
national defense, if deemed neces-
sary, to purchase, store, and subse-
quently distribute food products or
to fix prices in an emergency caused
by temporary or local over produc-
ton, or by a sudden ending of the
war or by restraint of trade and un-
economic speculation. This step is
taken to protect the producer from
any possible loss on account of the
extraordinary effort he is now asked
to make and in order that consum-
ers may not be made to pay oppres-
sive prices in case of disorganized
or inadequate transportation.
Increased Home Economy.
The committee points out that al

President Hamilton of the state
college has just returned from st.
Louis where he was called by Secre-
tary Houston of the department of
agriculture to attend a conference
of 62 officials representing 80 states
called together. to discuss the agri-
cultural situation in the present ma
tional crisis. Immediately upon his
return President Hamilton called to-
gether all the members of the college
faculty and experiment station staff
and explained the agricultural situa-
ton in manner which impressed all
with the seriousness of the present
crisis and the need of immediate ac-
tion in arousing Montana to do her
part in the world struggle. Early
this week President Hamilton con-
ferred with Governor Stewart, pledg-
ing him the full support of the state
college and experiment station, and
outlining plans for the organization
and increased development of all
branches of agriculture practiced in
Montana.
At St. Louis President Hamilton
was member of the committee ap-
pointed to formulate the views of the
conference and to submit sugges-
tions for courses of action. The re-
port of this committee is of the
greatest interest to every citizen as
it forecasts government control of
private industry to an extent never
experienced by the American people.
During the next few months we
may expect to see in operation the
most drastic of the agricultural reg
ulations now in use in foreign coun-
tries for, according to President
Hamilton, it was the unanimous
opinion of the conference that this
country should Immediately put into
practice the agricultural war meas
ures now in use by the allies which
have proven of greatest value.
Following are some of the recon-
mendations and suggestions made by
the committees:
The Farmers Responsibility.
Upon the farmer rests in large
measure the final responsibility of
winning the war in which we are
now involved. The worlds food re-
serve has never been so low. Not
only our own consumers, but much

summer saw the worst hail storms
that ever visited the state.

REAL FOOD CONTROL BILL

Representative never's Measure Would
 Ensure Fair Prices and Guard
 Against Extortion and Speculation.
 Washington. May 4.-Representa- f. tive Lever today sought assurance or house leaders that action would be taken next week on his administration bill authorizing the government to exercise broad powers over food pro- ductfon. distribution and prices dur- ing the war. A similar bill was ready for presentation to the senate today and both are supplementary to meas ures pending in congress providing for a survey of food conditions and looking to prevention of speculation.
 Purposes of the new bill, Repre- sentative Lever explained. "are to stimulate production to reduce waste, to clear the channels of distribution to prevent hoarding. to assure fair price to eliminate injurious specula- ton, to prohibit practices on ex- change. and to protect the public against extortion.
 Administration oficials believe the measure would have the effect of pre- venting the evils 1t seeks to eiiminals without the exercise Of powers au- thorized.
