Joint Stock Land Banks Have Re-

Mortgages From Ono End Of

1.-THE use of subsidies has been and
is an established custom or function OF
this government" said Joseph 81. Allen
of Des Moines, Ia, in appearing before
the senate committee on banking and
currency to protest against the tax on
farm mortgage bonds.
"Those of us who are Republicans
know that for many generations we
held out to the farmers that we were
levying tariffs for the purpose OF
building up manufacturing interests In
the East that we might create home
market for the Iowa farmers products.
1 had this instilled into me from the
time was child. The further propo-
sition of subsidies can be traced In
the upbuilding of our railroad inter.
ests. For generations we granted sub.
sides to the railroads in the form OF
public lands, and now the development
Of these lands is making the railroad

First Aid to Agriculture.
'Now for the first time in history
agriculture has received, as am will
ing to call 1t, a subsidy. The farm
loan act permits joint stock land
banks to issue farm mortgage bonds
which are exempt from taxation.
Never before in the history of this
country has agriculture received sim
gle thing In the form of direct subsidy.

FIAxSEED PRICES.

The price in Montana for
flaxseed on December 1, 1919,
was s4.4O, as against 1888 for
the same month in 1918. At
the present time, April, 1920,
the price is above S., with a
price of S4.70 quoted for May

Seed Before June 10.
The best time for flax seeding in
Montana varies with crop conditions.
Early seeding gives best results in cool
seasons with early frosts, but late
sown flax is the heaviest yielder in
hot summers which are followed by
cool falls and late frosts. The Mon !
tana Experiment Station advises seed |
ing not later than June 10. 1t is said
that there Is enough flax seed In Mon |
tana to take care of the seeding Of a |
normally large acreage this year. The
Montana Experiment Station will be
glad to assist farmers who desire to
purchase flax seed for seed purposes.
The amount of seed to SOW seems
to vary with the season and rainfall.
In average years one peck or IA
pounds has given better results than
heavier seeding. AS much as 10 or 20
has been sown without over

Is preferable to deep seeding.

STRIKES WE HAVE MISSED.

While there have been strikes in al
most every line of industrial activity
within the past two years. few seem
to have considered the possibility of
strike by the farmers or by capital "A
walkout by either would be more seri-
Gus than anything that has yet taken
place in the line of strikes. Probably
the country can continue to depend
on the farmers to keep on producing
food, but capital may not be so GER
tain.
"A strike of capital" may at first
thought seem a novel Idea. We have
always had strikes of labor, but we
might say that money has not in the
past shown. the inclination to ''go on
strike" which Banker ]. S.~Bache of
New York City believes he sees devel-
oping in financial circles In some
quarters, no doubt, his words will be
received with an incredulous smile,
for the reason that it will be main
tanned that ''walk-out of money" is
impossible.
THE thing is not new, however"
says the ST. Louis Times. "INhas hap
pened in the past Shut-downs by
Cold Cash have been of less frequent
occurrence in this generation than be-
fore, and the fact leads those of us
who know little of the past to fear no
repetition of such happenings. Never
theless, anything that has taken place
once can occur again. In the event of
a certain circumstance having been
many times noted. it is only reason
able to suppose that it may readily
again claim our attention.
The Times continues:
A strike of capital has on more than
one occasion brought nearer approach
to ruin of the country in which it took
place than any other untOward phase
of that peoples affairs. England has
known times when money became
fear-stricken and disappeared. France
has had much forlorn acquaintance
with incidents Of that sort-long
drawn out in their effects. Russia
seems almost to have seen little else,
and the smaller European races are
rich or poor today according to their
familiarity with money strikes. 1t is
not difficult to know that few of them
are itch.
And America, too. has endured
strikes of capital It is many years
since the working-man who had en-
ployment at fair pay stood in mortal
fear of losing his position to the dozen
unemployed who longed for his oppor-
tunity. Such periods made their inn
press on the industrial life of this ma
ton. however-men and women who
recall those experiences do so with
sadness and with fervent hope that no
such sufferings as were then engen-
dered may again come to the people.
"a strike of capital" which means
merely the withdrawal of their money
by people of large means -and-of small
from every kind of undertaking in
which cash is required, is not at all
impossible. We should do Dur utmost
to make the condition improbable of
recurrence, however.
