B. X. WHEELER WILL
SPEAK OCTOBER Is
CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR
AND SENATOR ANDERSON
WILL BE HERE

Wolf Point is scheduled for one of
the biggest political meetings that
will be held during the campaign in
this part of the state. The date will
be Friday, October 18th, and the
speakers will be B. K. Wheeler,
democratic candidate for governor,
and state senator Anderson, of Rich
land county. Both are exceptional
ly able speakers and their addresses
should be heard by every voter who
can possibly be present, regardless of
party affiliation. B. K. Wheeler's
position on the big issues of the cam
paign is being constantly misrepre-
sented by the press agents of big
business and voters owe it to them
elves to come and hear from the man
himself what he stands for.
Senator Anderson, who was elect
ed to the state senate as candidate of
the Nonpartisan League, has had
enough experience in state affairs to
enable him to bring to the people
a message of Importance.
1t is too early to announce plans
for the day, but these will be pub
lished later. Everybody should plan
to come to Wolf Point, October Is,
and hear the man who aspires to the
high office of governor.

BIG REDUCTIONS
In FORD PRICES
HENRY FORD SETS PACE IN A
MOVE TOWARD PRE-WAR
PRICES FOR CARS

Henry Ford on Tuesday announc-
ed a reduction of prices on all Ford
Motor company's products to a pre-
war level as a step toward restora-
tion of business to normal conditions.
In statement accompanying the an
nouncement Mr.. Ford declared that
present business conditions demand
ed that "some practical effort be
made to bring economic conditions
back to normal" "that the business
of the country may be stabilized" /"
And that the progress, prosperity
and contentment of our people may
be restored"
Inquiry among heads Of other auto
motive industries here failed to in
dicate whether the Ford announce
ments pressages a general decline of
motor car prices. A number of man
ufacturers declined to comment.
Discussing business conditions. Mr..
Ford declared that since the war has
ended, "war prices also should be re-
duced."
There is no WISDOM" the manu-
facturer said, 1in trying to maintain
an artificial standard of values for
prices only retard progress"
There is lull in business gener-
ally" the statement continues. "Peo-
pie in every walk of life are waiting
for prices they know are unnatural
20 become lower"
The local Ford service station,
Motor Sales Company, were prompt
n passing the news to their custom
,rs and the extent of the reductions
nay be seen in their display announ-
cement.

FAIR PROGRAM is
BEING CARRIED OUT

The steady rain which, set in this
morning and has continued all day
is fine thing to keep the ground in
condition for blowing but very un-
fortunate for the county fair and the
people who had anticipated enjoying
it.
Poplar was communicated with by
phone just before going to press,
and it was learned that the Fair
program is being carried out as near
as possible. 1t is not expected, it
was stated, that the auto races could
be held on Friday, but it was hoped
that they could be held Saturday, if
there was no more rain. The horse
races, it is expected would be held
as per program.
The rain, of course, would not in
terfere with all those features of the
Fair that are indoors, or with the air
plane exhibitions. Several hundred
Wolf Point people, including many
of the school children had planned
to attend the Fair Friday, but the
rain has caused most of them to give
up the idea, although many will
probably go Saturday. The rain is
a piece of bad luck for Poplar and
all those interested in the fair, which
it was hoped would be the best ever
held.

fit returned by a roundabout route
north of Chelsea to Poplar, where
the rig performed good service in
truing up the race track at the fair
grounds, and then came back to its
original location near Martin Nit
chelPs place, the Highway Commits
sion made up its mind that it was
ready to have the grader go to work.
The claim that this part of the
county has had it's full share of road
work is positively contradicted. 1t is
ridiculous to make any such claim.
The Standard has certainly been mis-
informed. 1t is a fact and everybody
over here knows it, that we have
nothing worth mentioning in the way
of completed roads except natural
roads. We have had our full share
of promises, but very little in the
way of actual work compared to the
eastern part of the county. All of
our people who have occasion to go
into the eastern part of the county

ENROLMENT GROWS
RURAL SITUATION
EXTREME DIFFICULTY IN Sc
CURING TEACHERS OF
FICERS MEET

The annual meeting of the school
trustees and superintendents of
Roosevelt county was held at Cul
bertson September 16. Most of the
districts were represented by one or
more members of the board. Messrs-
A. F. Toavs and Frank H. Livingston
represented District No. As.
Dr. Winship, one of the leading
educators of the United States, de-
livered the main address.
State Rural School Inspector Rein
ohl discussed the Standard" and
Superior" schools.
DR.. Winship was brought to Mon
tana to give the findings of his recent
educational surveys of the United
States. He was emphatic in his stat
ment that upon the rural and small
town schools lay the responsibility Of
shaping the educational policies
which must be developed to meet the
new economic and social conditions.
At an after meeting of the city
superintendents the following coun-
ty activities were outlined for the
coming year:
Teachers Institute-Poplar.
Spelling Contest-Froid.
Declamatory Bainville.
Educational Exhibit-Culbertso
Eighth Grade Commencement
Wolf Point.
The other schools also expressed a
desire to have the Northern District
Basketball Tournament held at Wolf
Point.
Froid and Bainville have new Sup
erintendents this year and we can
expect these schools to take very
active part in our county school af-
fairs. The events are scheduled for
the various places so that the people
all over the county will have a
chance to see what is being done
along educational lines.
Teacher Shortage
The rural school situation is de-
manding much of the attention of
the school officials this month. All
summer long an effort has been made
to secure qualified teachers for our
rural schools. Only three teachers
were secured. Miss Emma Knudsen
has signed up for the Wide Awake
school, This school is in session nine
months and started Sept. 7. As no
teacher has been secured for the
Pioneer school the children who are
from one and one-half to four miles

9TH AMONG TWENTY-SEVEN


The following good news comes from County
Agent Noble who has just returned from the Mon
tana State Fair:
Roosevelt county made very good showing
at the State Fair at Helena last week Although the
newest county in the Agricultural Hall, she placed
sixth, tying old Madison and ranking above twenty
other counties for place in the exhibit
twenty-five individual prizes won on
grains and vegetables. Next weeks paper will give
tabulsted list of al prize lists in Roosevelt county
Competition at the Judges table was plentiful.
Every time lot was called each table overfowed
with Montana's best products. Every ribbon won by
this county was in the hardest competition and be-
cause we had the goods.
Hundreds of people who passed the Roosevelt
county exhibit never knew before that such county
really existed. They were surprised to learn the
standard and variety Of grains, grasses and vege-
tables produced in our non-iTigated county"

SWEET POTATO
BECOMING CASH CROP

W. W. Long, director of the ex-
tension forces of Clemson College,
has called a meeting of potato
storage house operators in Column
bia the last week in June for a big
conference relative to the problems
of grading and marketing Of sweet
potatoes.
Farmers in the lower half of the
state are rapidly turning their at
tention to the production Of sweet
notatoes as cash crop in substltu-
ton for cotton in the boil weeVli
area, and Mr.. Long says at least
700 potato storage houses are to be
in operation this fall. With the po-
tatoes grown, the next problem are
those Off grading, marketing and
advertising the sugar spuds' as
they are being commercially deslg-
mated.
As an evidence Of the cooperative
snirit spreading among the farmers,
the Dixie Produce company has just
been formed in williston, Barn
well county, through which cueum-
bers, cantaloupes and watermelons
will be marketed. A representative
Of the North America Fruit ex'
change was at Williston and helped
effect the organization. The entire
output of the South Caralina AS
paragus Growers association has
been handed through the fruit ex'

change, and the sweet potato crop
will be handled also by this or
ganization through its 120 sales Of
fees in every section Of the coun-
try. Mr.. Tenny of the North Ameri-
can Fruit exchange will be in CO.
lumbia next month for the meeting
with the potato storage house oper-
ators. Speaking of the situation
Mr.. Long said:
"I am particularly interested at
this time in the sweet potato situa-
ton in South Carolina. l have just
had conference this morning with
Mr.. Tenny, of the North American
Fruit exchange, and Henry john
son, district agent Of the. extension
division, in whose district a large
part of the commercial sweet pota-
toes will be grown this year.
Building Many Houses
"In selecting cash crops to take
the place of cotton, which the wee
vii will Destroy, we naturally turn
ed to sweet potatoes. There will
probably be in operation this fall
approximately 100 storage houses,
aggregating half million bushels Of
sweet potatoes The big problem
facing us now is that Of the proper
harvesting, grading, storing and
selling of the 1920 crop. We are
entering a new field, and this year
we must lay the foundation for fu-
ture years. South Carolina sweet
notatoes are unknown in a CONNER
cial way, and if we are to complete
The Abbeville press and banner. [volume] (Abbeville, S.C.) 1869-1924, 1920-06-18

in all the markets of the country.
Mr.. Tenny is an enthusiast of Sou
thern sweet potatoes. Yet he sees
the problems that face the Sou
thern growers in shipping. Mr.. Ten
ny had the following to say on
sweet potatoes:
} Grading Big Problem.
"The problems of growing and stor-
ing sweet potatoes can be very easily
solved. The big problem, as I see it
from my past work, is that of grad
ing, advertising and selling the
sweets. The per capita consumption
of sweet potatoes is very small, and
Jersey and Delaware stock have been
on the markets of the North and
west for years, and the people up
there know only the dry and mealy
sweet potatoes. The Southern indus
try has a clearcut problem before it
but this problem can be solved If
gone after.
"The first problem is right grad
ing.We probably appreciate this
more than most farmers, as we come
to know the needs Of the trade
preety we'll in selling over 10000
cars of fruits and vegetables every

with other sections and enter new
markets wem ust put out standard
product and pack which will be. its
II'own best advertisement. To do this
we must insist upon the most care
full harvesting and the most rigid
grading. In order to keep from cut
ting our own throats through COM
petitive selling, we need concerted
action on the part of all storage
house owners in South Carolina. 10
bring this about it is my purpose to
call a meeting of storage house
owners in Columbia during the last
week in June. At this meeting we
will endeavor to give the best IN
formation to be had ON the har-
vesting, grading, storing and SELL
of sweet potatoes. Our marketing
agent, Mr.. Harkey, has made quite
a study Of the situation and will
devote large part of his time this
fall to this particular work.
"To this meeting I have invited
Mr.. Tenny of the North American
Fruit exchange, who has done such
splendid work in marketing the as
paragus crop of South Carolina.
The results obtained in this coop
erative work between the South
Carolina Asparagus Growers asso-
citation and the North American
Fruit Exchange may give us a
lead as to the proper method OF
procedure in selling our sweet po-
tatoes."
Form Produce Exchange
Mr.. Tenny has just come from
;Nilliston, where he had a confer
ence with officials Of the South
Carolina Asparagus Growers asso-
citation. The North American Fruit
Exchange, through it's 120 sales Of
fices, has handled the entire output i
of the South Carolina Asparagus
Growers association since it's or
ganhation five years ago. The
value of improved ' grading is
shown in the fine returns received !
this pring. Much Carolina grass"
has sold at Sc and 81 per crate. |
Mr.. Tenny gives great credit to
the excellent grading and packing.
The Williston growers are fast
learning the value of cooperation
and have just formed the Dixie
Produce exchange, which will
handle several hundred cars OF Gu
cumbers, cantaloupes and water
melons. The new association has
employed the North American ex-
change to handle the sales work,
and Mr.. Tenny is en- route to New
York to arrange for a sales mana
ger, who will go Immediately to
Williston to sell the vegetables.
The Southern States produce ex-
change, of which Mr.. Tenny is also
president, handles the advertising
and sales work of "sugar spuds" US
