Mix For State Senator

q. p. Mix of Moscow, candidate
for the Office of state senator from
Latah county on the democratic
ticket, was in kendrick Wednesday
meeting the voters of this precinct.
Mr.. Mix has been too busy with his
farming interests to make an ex-
tensive campaign. However, he
met a majority of the business men
here and was very much pleased
with the cordial reception which
they extended to him. He said that
while he did not expect everyone
IN Kendrlck to vote for him, those
whom he met said they would,
which he thought at least showed a
very kindly spirit"
One of the leading republicans Of
this precinct spent considerable
time introducing Mr.. Mix to the
people here, which indicates that
he is popular not through his
political affiliations but because OF
mis- own splendid personality.
Mr.. MIX is intensely progressive
along all lines. He is a graduate
of the university of Idaho and al
ways has the interests of this in
stitution at heart. He is enthusi.
astic for good roads and it was
largely through MS untiring efforts
and influence that the road i'm
provement around Moscow and
other portions of the county was
started. Mr.. Mix desires to repre-.
sent this county in the senate Sc
that he may use his influence to Sc
cure the just apportionment of roac
funds that the north end of the
state, and particularly Latah county
has right to expect.
Mr.. Mix says that he believes tn,
ex-service men "stlll have some
thing coming to them" In case hi
represents this county as state sen
auor he promises to do all he pos
sibly can to see that the boys ar
reimbursed in a more substantial
manner than just to the extent o
the pay checks which they received
while in the service. ,4s,-
Cub" Mix has the personality t
make and hold frlends-and he ha
a host of them in this county wher
he has spent greater part of hi
life. He has demonstrated durln
his residence in Moscow that he ha
the ability to represent Lata
county as its state senator, tn
energy to place this county alway
in the foreground and the desir
to do what is for the best wlshe
and the best interests of "hls HON
people,"

MARKET STILL
IS UNCERTAIN
Marked by Uncertainty and
Ready Yielding to Sale. Caus-
ed by Lack of Faith.
The FINAL CROP FIGURES
Best Support is Being Given to the
Wheat Market. Violent Fluctu-
ations Should Be Looked For
in Near Future.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Dec. 2O.-De-
a firm tone the markets during most
of the past week were marked by I'M
certainty, timidity and readily yielded
to selling. Rumors and talk of a pes
simistic nature, Encouragement of
credit extension anywhere and a re-
markable public lack of faith in the
future are for the time being dominant
influences.
Wednesdays general decline was
precipitated by the final Government
Crop figures. The trade was stagger-
ed the unexpectedly increases in all of
the grains. The final Corn and Oats
crop total 4,756,422, 900 or 800, 1852 900
more than was produced last year.
Winter Wheat figures were raised to
5SO,513,O0O and the Spring Wheat re-
duced to 200 ,365, 900, which for the
Spring Wheat is about the same as
last year.
At present the best support to the
Wheat market, aside from export
business, is the existing Cash pre-
NUNS. In view of the heavy foreign
c~learances and sales of Hard Winter
and Spring Wheat som apprehension
is expressed with regard to the suffici-
ency of supplies of such quality of
Wheat for the later domestic milling
demand anticipated. Even higher pre-
miums for the better grades, therefore,
are expected.
1t is the unpromising immediate
Cash outlet for the huge surplus, the
nea or actual bankruptcy of Euro
pean buyers that remain the principal
barriers to higher values. But the
trade mostly optimistic that from
perfectly natural causes alone i'm
provement must result in the near flu
ture. The problems of r~eadjusting
values to new conditions is not to be
minimized, but the talk of pessimism
without warrant or foundation is to
some extent a restraint OF normal
trade which should prove only tenn
porary.
In coarse grains the point is reached
where intrinsic worth must be con-
sidered, and the Growers holding
policy more or less extensive is GER
tainly not to be ignored. The move
ment of Corn and Oats and Wheat is
most remarkably light compared even
with past crops that were much small
er. Wheat production this year is over
10000, 900 less than last year and
the export demand never was so insis-
tent as durino the present season.
We still adhere to the belief that
on the declines all grains are a pur-
chase and that conditions in general
for a long pull warrant a reaction up
ward. but pending the settlement of
the public mind and the elimination of
the lizard Times" idea. which is non
existent. the markets will undoubtedly
reflect the many elements of uncer-
tainty and violent fluctuations should
not be unexpected.

HOW WHEAT is WORTH
$3.50 PER BUSHEL

The Price of wheat is low, yes, very
low when it gets down to $1.2O under
last years high cost of production.
Flour is down considerable from what
it was. Flour is $500 per SO pound
sack.
One thing we are all interested in is
how to get more out of our wheat and
that is the mission Of this article or
at least to tell how to get $1.9O per
bushel on present prices. December
~.
There is a ruling made by the Mon
tana Trade Commission which says
that all public operated mills must on
request of a farmer grind his wheat
into flour and the other by products
and deliver it all to the farmer and
charge the farmer % cents per bushel
and 40 cents per bushel for a mill the
size of the Opheim mill, when it is
located twenty miles or more from the
railroad; and the price Of the bags
containing the flour and mill feed:
For on a bushel of No. | hard Mar
ouis wheat delivered for grinding the
farmer should receive in return:
31h pounds of best grade flour
1912 pounds of second grade flour.
II pounds of mill feed (shorts and
bron).
Total SO pounds, the miller deducted
one pound from the go pound which is
called invisible loss.
At the Opheim mill a farmer should
receive:
37.S pounds flour 600 per cent pat
ent) and PIP pounds feed.

URGES COOPERATIVE
MARKETING OF HAY
Project Manager Issues Statement to
Farmers on Reclaimed Lands.
Cites Examples of Success.

In a statement issued this week to
the farmers of the Milk River Valley,
Geo. E. Stratton, Project Manager
for the Milk River Project urges that
some cooperative marketing organiza-
ton be formed for the successful hand
ling in markets of the high grade hay
raised here.
MI. Stratton states:
Farmers are coming to appreciate
hat after they have grown a crop it
is necessary to market the same an
some organization to handle this mar
keting would be desirable. This is in
stanced by the success in the Fruit
Growers Marketing Association of
Washington and the Citrus Growers
Association of California which are
large and well known. There are, of
course, numerous less known organi-
cations along similar lines, two of
these are mentioned in recent Recla-
nation Records; Viz; On page 507 of
n November issue in regard to the
reorganization of the Washington
Hay Growers Association and $50 of
the December issue on the Columbia
Basin Alfalfa Growers Association.
"The conditions for marketing hay
this fall are especially d~iscouraging to
the farmers in the Milk River Valley
and some of the hay growers have re.
Gently been considering forming an
Association for marketing this crop
and perhaps for other purposes. 4
tentative constitution has been drafted
and a meeting called to be held at
Harlem, Montana on December 10Th
1920 at 1880 p. NJ.
81 would suggest that if reasonably
possible you arrange to be present al
that meeting"

FARMERS PLAN
MARKETING BILL
Cooperative District System
Outlined at an Informal
Meeting in Capital.
ASK CENTRAL WAREHOUSES;
Voluntary Associations Proposed, With
Bonding Plan Similar to State
Irrigation Districts; Prom
inent Men Attend.

Helena, Dec. 2O.--With a view, of
drafting a bill looking to creation of
cooperative marketing districts in
Montana, several leaders of farm or
CARNATIONS in this state met informal
ly in the capitol or Monday and went
over details of a measure to be sub
mitted to the legislature. The idea is
to secure a law which will permit far
mers voluntarily to form a public cor
poration to handle their crops %collec-
lively through warehouse edected at a
central point in the district. 1t was
proposed that the bill include cooper
alive buying as we'll as selling but
this was included in the preliminary
drafts.
In Behalf of Farmers.
Those who attended the meeting
said they were not attending it as d.
rect representatives of any farm or
ganization but merely meeting to take
up the question and submit a measure
on behalf Of the farmers of the state.
Among those who attended the meet
ing were, M. F. Wilson, county agent
leader Bozeman; j. M. Hamilton, Boze-
man; Sidney w. Ward, Hamilton; C. o.
Walden, Montana Grain Growers as
ISOLATION; w. S. Mccormick, Kalispell
cooperative potato exchange; J.. c.
Wood, state horticultural department;
J. T. Carroll, Farmers union; F. w.
Beier, Jr., u. S. crop reporter for
Montana; f. X. Bowman, chairman
state board of hail insurance; John 6.
Brown, attorney of Helena.
Bonding System Proposed.
Under the plans advanced by those
supporting the measure, joining the
cooperative organization will be vol
untary with the farmers but those
who do JOIN bay bond their land to Sc
cure finances with which to carry or
the work. The cooperative districts
will be formed BY petition and the
funds raised on the bonded lands of the
members, similarly to finances for is
rigation districts under a state law.

FALL SEEDING
OF SPRING WHEAT

Mr.. Peter Peterson has taken ad-
vantage of the unusual fall weather
conditions and seeded 120 acres of
durum wheat. Mr.. Peterson finished
seeding December 10. With practically
no moisture in the soil and being as
late as it is there is very little danger
by fall seeding.
Mr.. w. E. Leach of Nashua seeded
Marquis wheat in the fall of II and
it occurs to the writer that Mr.. Leach
got 81 bushels per acre in 1918 off
from hos fall seeding.
This is certainly taking advantage of
the weather man., and that is one fell
low that we should watch and study in
this part of Montana.

1883 HEAD PHILLIPS
CATTLE VACCINATED
TO PREVENT BLACKLEG

Saco, Dec. 16.-During the season Of
1920, 13 community blackleg drives
have been conducted in Phillips county
through the farm bureau, at which
time 121 herds of cattle, representing
1884 individual head were vaccinated.
Farmers and stockmen of the county
have for the past several years suf-
fered continuous losses among their
herds from black leg, and as a result
of the number of calls coming to the
farm bureau office for this work, the
blackleg drive was instituted.
