League Expcls Doablc-< ressers
From the time it was founded, how
ever, the League has consistently fol-
lowed the policy of expelling any and

4 Clever Scheme
! In the early part Of 1919 it was
rumored in different counties, where
Brinton was starting newspapers, that
he would buy a plant for a certain
sum. then, turn around and sell it to
the farmers at an increase Of all the

Mr.. Chas. E. Taylor,
Producers News,
Plentywood, Montana.
My Dear Mr.. Taylor:
want to extend to you and your co-work-
ers my hearty congratulations on the splendid
victory that you and your associates have
achieved in Montana and in Sheridan County.
1t is certainly something that you fellows will
have reason to feel proud Of got a copy of
the Producers News, giving the returns for
Sheridan County and being quite familiar
with election returns ever since the League
came on the map in North Dakota in 1916, I
feel justified in saying that the victory in
Sheridan County is the most overwhelming
yet recorded for our forces.
Moreover, the straight vote cast for the
League candidates goes to show that it was
not the unusual popularity of any one man
that was responsible for the large majority. l
do not see how there is chance for defeat in
Montana next November. The fact that
Wheeler polled approximately twice as many
votes as Dixon, will give him tremendous ad-
vantage particularly if those who participated
in the Democratic primary vote for Wheel
er and the rest Of the League ticket this fall.
With kndest personal regards, remain,
Yours very truly,
P. E. TEIGAN.

Humphreys County Farmers Buy Ten
Purebred Rams.
County Agricultural Agent 7. H.
Richardson. Humphreys county, states
that only recently 10 pufebred
Shropshire rams, all good individuals,
were purchased by farmers OF that
county and that they are highly
pleased with them Mr.. Richardson
saws that the purchases of these rams
is the result of cooperative lamb
sales where the farmers see their
lambs graded and are thereby stlmu-
lated to grow better ones. In order
TO do this. they realize that they
must have purebred rams. After the
first shipment of lambs this year,
Mr.. Richardson realizing the great
need Of better rams in the county
set about to interest the farmers in
purebreds. After some efforts he
was unable to get a single farmers
promise to buy, so he urged them to
attend the next cooperative ship
ment. in which Martin Holland, OF
McEwen, who has a purebred Hamp-
shire ram at the head of his flock
had some lambs. Several of the
farmers whom Mr. Richardson had
talked to attended and when they
saw Mr.. Hollands lambs it was the
old story Of Hseeing is believing"
Five men placed orders for purebred
rams then and there. Others placed
orders later and some more are go-
ing to buy soon.
Tennessee Farmers Need to Grow
