Bozeman, June 2.-United States
Senator Thomas P. Gore of Oklahoma.
who, as chairman of the senate commit
tee of agriculture during the war was
a power in determining the govern
ment price for wheat, will speak to
the grain growers and farmers of
Montana at BoZeman on Saturday,
June IA. He is one of the band of
distinguished public men who will
hold this one meeting in Montana I'M
der the auspices of the national board
OF farm organizations, in a short tour
OF the west to stimulate interest on
closer national unity of farming in
terests in the United States.
Senator Gore will speak on the
world wheat situation, and on gov
eminent price-fixing, a subject which
his position has made uppermost with
him for two years. With him at the
Bozeman are Clifford Pinchot, chief
forester under the Roosevelt admin
istration, who has been a keen stu
lent Of reconstruction problems as
they affect the farmer, and which line
he will probably discuss in the Boze-
mar meeting; DR.. w. j. Spillman,
now associate editor of the Farm
journal, who became a national fig
ure by reason of the part he played
in working for a higher fixed price
for wheat while he was head of the
bureau of farm management in the
department of agriculture, which po-
sltlon ne resigned as a result of diff
ferences with the secretary of agri-
culture, Mr.. Houston; and others of
corresponding Importance in the ag-
ri%cultural field.
Since the meeting is concerned
with fostering national unity Of farm
organizations, it is certain to pay con-
siderable attention to the projected
Temple of Agriculture at Washing
ton, D. G. This is all the more GER
tain since A. A. Elmore, president
of the Farmers union of the state
of Washington and chairman of the
Temple of Agriculture committee,
n the treasurer of that committee,
John A. McSparren, no is also master
of the Pennsylvania state grange, are
to be speakers. The program will be
held morning, afternoon and evening
commencing at 10 o'clock.
Charles S. Barrett, president of the
Farmers Educational and Co-Opera-
tive union of America, who was a
member of the agricultural commits
sion which recently returned from
Europe, will discuss the Importance
of an international bureau of agricul-
ture, and the part which the farmers
of the world played at the peace con-
ference. Maurice McAuliff, president
of the Farmers union of the state of
Kansas, will talk of cooperation and
farm organization in his state. Keen
interest will attach to the remarks of
Milo D. Campbell of Coldwater, Mich,

Producers federation was in the fore
front of the recent fight of dairymen
to maintain milk prices-a fight which
leaves him in good position to discuss
the position of farmers associations
under the Sherman antitrust law.
This coterie of public men moves in
a body to Bozeman from Spokane,
Wash, where in a three-day meeting,
June II, IL and Is, farmers of the
Pacific northwest heard them. They
are going eastward on their itinerary
which opened at Lexington, Ky, on
May 81, and which is as follows:
Lexington, KY, May 81; Salt Lake

marck, N. D., June 16; Fargo, N. D.,

to provide accommodations for visit

the attendance will be large and rep
resentative in character from all Sec
tions of the state.
