We Are Still The Government.

The leading editorial in The Country
Gentleman of February 81 says:
LIT is the theory of our Constitution
that our Federal Government should be
conducted by statesmen and able public
servants. But just now it would seem
that our Government is infested with
politicians. with pettifogging vote chasers
with long -winded controversialists; that
affairs of great moment are in hope
less snarl, that the spirit of let-the-pub-
lie ic-be-dammed-and-go-to-blazes prevails.
We are great ship wallowing in stormy
waters while captain and crew are en-
gagged in dog fight for a presidential
bone. But there is way out. live get to-
gether on it we can discharge the crew
to the last man and get an entirely new
ships company.
IF grand old parties and Jeffersonian
democracies have ceased to function, it
is always possible to form a new party
if we will do it in time, refuse tithes to
the campaign chest and turn deaf ear
to the partisan windbags. The Country
Gentleman asks the American Farm Bu-
reau Federation, the Grange, and all the
great and growing farm organizations if
they are not pretty sick and disgusted
with the sort of thing that is now going
on down in Washington. Let the new
national voice for agriculture be heard
in the matter. 1t should have whole
some effect"

Trackmen To Strike.

Orders directing 5000 members of
the United Brotherhood of Maintenance
of Way Employees and Railway Shop
Laborers to suspend work at a. m.
Tuesday, February n were sent out
from Detroit. Mich, to local unions.
Decision to order the men out was an
nounced by Allan E. Barker grand pres
ident of the organization, following a
meeting on Monday of the genera chair
men of the brotherhood. The strike can
be averted only if the Railroad Admins
tration before Saturday grants wage in
creases demanded last summer, Mr..
Barker said.
"The orders have gone odt," he de-
clared, land we would require two or
three days to cancel them.
The strike, in addition to wage in
creases, is to secure uniform rate from
coast to coast. 1t would affect store
house employees, stationary fremen, sta
tionary engineers. steel bridge workers
cinder pitmen and oilers. as well as
other members of the brotherhood.

During 1919 Rev. Strohmeier by his
energetic labors aroused a new interest
in the church. He resuscitated the
Christian Endeavor Society and it has
become one of the most helpful and en-.
thusiastic agencies in the work of the
church. No one can listen to the in
spring singing and the heartfelt prayers
of the younger ones without feeling that
great good has been accomplished.
Needed repairs were made to give
greater comfort to those who came to
church on cold and stormy Sundays. A
new piano was purchased. Other i'm
provements were made on the church
property.
Rev. E. S. Hagen of Staten Island,
New York, held evangelistic meetings
for ten days, which brought new hope
and life to the membership of the church.
Some 80 or 40 reconsecrated themselves
to love the Saviour more ardently and
to work for him more zealously. Twelve
of the children signed decision cards, and
have shown by their interest in the Sun
day School that they are thoroughly in
earnest.
Having paid fheir Provincial Assess
ment in full, the church will be entitled
to send delegates to the important Pro-
vincial Synod which will meet at Bethle-
hem, Pa, in June.
Some of the questions that will have
to be decided are: Can the Church con-
tinue to carry on it's extensive mission
work in many lands, when the expenses
for that work have more than doubled
during the last three years.
Can the Moravian Church which for
almost 200 years has been union of the
three provinces. Germany, England and
America remain one church, sacrificing,
praying and working for one Lord and
Saviour, for the extension of his king
dom, especially among the lowest of the
heather and for the striving for spirit
filled life in the heart of each member
in every land, or must it, at this crisis
of the worlds history, consent to divide
it's forces? Many are striving to heed
the admonition of the Master, that
men ought always to pray and not to
faint"

Free Seed Fight Wins Again.


Washington, Feb. g. Friends of free
seed won their annual fight as usual in
the House today by defeating 1a0 to II,
motion to eliminate from the Agricul-
tural bill an appropriation of $239. 900 for
seed distribution to their constituents at
Government expense.
An amendment to increase the appro-
priation was rejected and an attempt to
have the seed distributed by the Depart
ment of Agriculture and not on franks
by Senators and Representatives was
out of order.
There was an hours debate described
''as an hour of farmyard vaudeville"
Representative Quin, Democrat, Mis-
sissippi brought roar from members by
declaring that the motion to eliminate
he appropriation "would take fresh
vegetables from the mouths of poor little
children" Other members said the peo-
pie would rather have free seeds than
free speeches.
We have been told that some of these
fine seeds have arrived in Thurmont. one

THE COST OF GROWING WHEAT

According to recent survey by the depart
ment Of agriculture it cost the wheat growers OF
America an average Of $2.15 bushel to produce
the crop of 1919 The information upon which
this estimate is based was gathered in the wheat
growing areas of Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska,
Minnesota and North and South Dakota and was
secured from 481 different farms. There was
wide differece in the cost of winter wheat and
spring wheat, the report stated, the first being
produced at $1.97 bushel and the latter at
$265. To have produced profit on 80 per cent
Of the farms covered by the survey, it was stat
ed the wheat would have had to be sold for an
average of $3.50 bushel. On only two of the
481 farms would one dollar bushel have paid
the cost Of production
There is not much encouragement in this re-
port for the wheat farmer. Farm labor is cost
lier this year than it was last Seed cost more
this year than last. The current quotations for
wheat in the Minneapolis market range from
around $500 bushel to $3.50. Not single
kind of wheat is quoted at the average price
which it costs, according to the survey of the gov
eminent experts, to produce bushel of spring
wheat, $2.65.
Had the investigation which the department
Of agriculture made included Montana, the figure
would have been much higher, owing to crop fail
ure here. Those sections which were visited
had no crop failures. There are comparatively
few farmers who keep books, which makes it a
difficult matter to secure definite and authentic
data regarding the cost of crop production. I'm
doubtedly if many farmers knew exactly what it
was costing them to raise some of the crops they
market, the trend toward mixed farming, in
which the farmer feeds his grain and forage and
makes it walk to market in the form of beef, pork
mutton, milk, butter or cheese, would be much
more rapid.
Experts have long contended that the future
of farming lies in diversification. A good way
to hasten the process is to show the farmer that
he is selling grain for less than it costs him to
raise it. Let us hope, however, that Montana
farmers will get price for their wheat this year
which will leave them good long profit with
which to wipe out the losses of the last three
years.
