Growers Get Their Own Price.

That it pays to list products for
sale with local representatives of the
Department of Agriculture is shown
in Arkansas as reported by the field
agent in marketing at Little Rock.
This agent attended a meeting of
sweet potato growers and found out
where stocks were held. Shortly
after this a sweet popato buyer drop
ned into the agents office and asked
where he could buy few cars The
agent told him, and before the buyer
finished shipping he had bought TO-
900 bushels in that neighborhood, for
which he paid the growers their price
f. O. b. cars, furnishing the packages
himself.

BURGLARY AT MILDRED
Mildred-Last Friday night

Mildred-Last Friday night the
store of the Mildred Mercantile Com
pany was burglarized and gooGc to
the amount of about $4O0 taken. The
loot consisted mostly of jewellery and
watches. AS near as can be ascer-
tained there was little taken aside
from the jewellery. The visitants
overlooked a bet in that the safe was
not disturbed, although it was not
locked and there was about $500 in
silver in it. However, they broke
open mash drawer from which they
secured a few pennies.

Jim Marion of Chicago and
Montana Tells of Con-
ditions He Finds
BEST FEED FOR
LARGE SHEEP HERDS
Smaller Bands and Farmers
Must Raise Feed for
Them

Wool prices are keeping up in good
shape, but sheep are likely to drop
to some extent, in the opinion of Jim
Marion, of Chicago, and who also has
several large ranch interests in Mon
tana. In speaking Of the general con-
dition of the sheep market, Mr.. Mar
ion said:
''While the price of wool is not as
high as it was last year, it has been
keeping up in good shape so far and
I do not exepct to see any great re-
duction. The Trask clip, in western
Montana brought fifty-seven cents re-
Gently, but, of course, this is a we'll
known clip and of fine grade. l ex-
pect to see range wool stay at about
fifty cents or little better Ahrough
the year. When it comes to sheep,
the price will probably fall, as we
cannot export mutton as we can pork
and beef, there not being the demand
for this from abroad in the American
market.
''The sheep industry, as far as the
big old time flocks are concerned, is
gine, but there is new place COM
ing up for it, where the farmer is go
ing to grow a crop on his smaller
ranch and at the same time handle
small bunch of a couple of hun
dred sheep and maybe fifty head Of
cattle. But to do this he has got to
work, that is, he can no longer de-
pend on the big open range and must
grow feed for his animals.
This matter was placed before me
in an interesting light the other day
by banker at Terry. He told me
that the splendid winter which we
have had in Montana has been life
saver, that he has made many loans
to stockmen through the fall and that
they had only been saved by the open
winter, which gave the cattle all the
cod they needed, for hardly one OF
WE rancimen had a bit of hay, in
case the snowfall had been heavy and
the winter cold. He said that it was
never again for aim and that when
men came in for loans in the future ii
was going to be case of show me
your stacks first
''He is just right on the PROPOSE
ton. There is plenty of chance fol
the farmer here who wants to Work
to do we'll with sheep and cattle, but
he cannot take chances on an oper
winter and must provide feed. ROOF
feed is the best in this country, ever
in dry land root plants, such as beets
turnips will grow and they make me
finest kind of fodder. The man VIII
a section or so of land can plant par
of it in some crop Of this kind and b
sure to get away with it at profi
and he must do it in the future
SquaW corn is another feed whlcl
can be used, but the trouble with tn
farmers here is that they still thinl
of the days when there was plenty o
open range and won't do the neede
planting and caring for this croI
They must come to it and then viii
lind it pays"

Want Japs Barred

Washington-The so-called "gentle-
mems agreement" between the United
States and Japan is being violated by
the latter country, declared V. S.
McClatchy Of Sacramento, Cal, and
Miller Freeman of Seattle before the
house immigration committee. The
agreement provides that no Japanese
laborers shall be admitted to this
country. The witnesses urged adop-
ton of a policy Of absolute exclusion
by the United States and the deporta-
tion of Asiatics now in this country.
The Sacramento witness declared that
the situation on the Pacific coast was
an example of what would happen
elsewhere and would finally result Gin
the United States being made a
Japanese province"
"The question is purely an economic
one, not racial one," said Mr.. Nc
Clatchy, who assailed the making of
the gentlemen's agreement as "a seri-
Gus blunder."
"The Japanese government is issu-
ing passports under any head except
labor" asserted Mr.. Freeman. "The
only way of solving the problem is
by legislation; it cannot be solved by
administration of existing laws"
Mr.. McClatchy said a policy of alb
solute exclusion of the Japanese be-
cause of their economic standards
would be but practicing a policy en-
forced by the Japanese in their coun-
try against the Chinese and Koreans.
The first importation of Chinese
laborers into Japan occurred last
December, he said and resulted in
the government compelling the indus
trial concern bringing them to the
island to return them in January, at
an expenditure of $4,000 of the con-
GERMS funds.
