Where to Obtain
Good Seed Wheat

Pierre, Sept. 6.-The wheat har-
vested in this state this year has not
been generally of the best quality
and the question has already been
raised as to where seed wheat is to be
secured for next year Apparently
the best quality of wheat obtainable
in the state is in the Missouri valley
section where conditions were more
favorable than they were farther east.
About Belvidere in Jackson county
they are claiming yields as high as
eighteen bushels of good wheat to
the acre and that section may supply
a lot of seed wheat for the next year.

NOW NATIONAL NECESSITY
President Elliott Of N. P. Says It
Will Be Needed to Avert Still

mately $3.00o,000.000 must be bought

Elliott. president of the Northern Pa
ci1c Railroad Company, before the
reconstruction conference of the As
sociation Of Life Insurance Presidents
here.
Mr.. Elliott, who spoke on the sub
ject, The Efficient Transportation
Machine a National Necessity" said
that there could be no higher func-
ton for the great life insurance COM
panies at the present time than to
make it plain to all the people that
our railroads must not be crippled
but on the contrary they must keep
abreast of the times and be prepared
to serve the great and growing future
of the country"
The speaker said that without an in
crease in freight and passenger rates
q very large number of railroad com
panies would face bankruptcy and
that very few of those who escaped
would be able to pay stockholders
Thu year would end. there was every
indication, he said, with a deficit o.
perhaps $350,O00,000 for all railroad
operations. The country cannot have
an efficient transportation machlne
nor can investments in railroad Sc
curities be protected. he said. unles:
the roads are given higher compensa-
ton to maintain them efficiently.
Declaring that even today, in the
months Of heaviest business, the
nations transportation machine was
operated virtually at capacity and
that there was no very small margin
of safety" Mr. Elliott said that the
American standard of living must de.
cline IL the general development of
the railroads were checked.
The people cannot survive without
the railroads and our railroads can
not survive without our people," he

lime. potatoes, meat and Oil and
naphtha are described in a recent re-
port of the committee as under the
control of trusts" which have been
able to flourish and maintain high

The committee finds that the most
typical trust" in Argentina (the
word trust" is put in quota alton

wine trust" in the great grape-grow-

combination of wine producers is an
official trust organized by the law of

the cost of the greater part of it's
administration out of "the local privi-
lege created by the monopoly of

Destruction of grapes and wine, ex-
