Protest Over Delay in Stopping
Grain Grades Loss Sent to
Secretary Wallace
FARMERS ARE LOSING
SIX CENTS "A BUSHEL
Statement Denies that LowerI
ing of Federal Standards
Would Injure Producers

st. Paul, May 12.-Farmers in the
spring wheat section have been pen
allied millions Of dollars, on an av-
erage Of six cents a bushel, by the
operation of federal grain standards,
members of the Legislative committee
of the Minnesota Farm Bureau feder-
alton said today, in statement pro-
testing continuation of hearings by
the United States department Of ag-
riculture on modification Of the fed
eral grades.
The protest was forwarded to Hem
ry G. Wallace, secretary of agricul-
ture, in reply to Il request by Mime
apoNis millers that further hearings
be granted.
1--WE sincerely hope" the statement
says, that Secretary Wallace, with
out further hearings, will modify the
grades on wheat so that they will
conform practically to Minnesota
grades. The opponents Of such modi-
fication had ample opportunity to be
heard, and were fully represented in
force during the hearings recently
conducted in Washington. At a time
when the farmers financial resources
are a. their lowest ebb, we respect
fully protest against a further con-
tinuation Of these hearings as impos-
ing an unnecessary burden"
The statement specifically denied
that lowering Of the federal standard
to conform to old Minnesota grades
would work injury to the producers.
Farmers of the spring wheat Sec
,tion have been penalized on an av-
erage, six cents a bushel because OF
the PRONUNCIATION Of wheat grades by
the federal bureau of markets." the
settlement said. "The facts are that
certain requirements, now exacted
from the farmer and the country ele-
vator man, are not necessary for the
production Of high quality of -four,
and may be- used as a means to PEN
alize the producer Of wheat and
make profits for the terminal eleva-
tor man and miller large and more
certain.
"Some OF the finest wheat ever
grown in this section weighing more
than so pounds a blshe!, bright, and
Of good milling quality, has been
graded down to No. because it con-
tanned Is per cent moisture, when
it hsC been proven beyond doubt that
wheat never spoils in this northern
county with Is per cent Of moist

BELTRAM. FARM BUREAU
DRIVE MEETING SUCCESS
First Three Days of Member
ship Drive in South Half of
County Are Success

As result of three days work by
the farm bureau campaigners, over
two. hundred members have been
signed up in the southern part OF the
county. There are 10 men, furnished
by the state farm bureau, making
systematic canvass of the rural COM
munity for bureau memberships.
These men are being taken over the
territory by various farmers in the
communities where the memberships
are being solicited.
i, Although the solicitors for men,
berships nave scarcely we'll started on
the work, reports are coming in to
the bureau headquarters tin the coun-
ty agents office indicating that the
campaign will. be one of the most
popular movements ever put on in
the country. The aim Of the bureau
lis to get at least 1000. memberships
| IN the southern half of the county
and indications are that the aim Will
be reached e.,
After the territory has been COW
cred, the members WILL he brought
together in farm clubs, if there are
not farm clubs already in their COM
munity. Each club will elect one d.
rector and these directors will COM
pose the county board Of the bureau.
Definite programs Of work will be
mapped out in the various clubs for
future activity, eachl club largely de-
termining just what ZINES it will fol-
low in it's activities
The north end of the county will
probably not be organized just now.
The campaign in the southern part OF
the; county will continue until May
LES. At that time the organizers have
campaign I'm another county and
after completing that county, they
will go on to Roseau county. 1t is
very probable the northern end OF
Beltrami county will be organized at
the same time as Roseau county as
much of the territory. can be easily
covered in connection with that coun-
Ity. Tie territory west Of Red Lake
commonly known as the Grygla dis
ltrict was organized with Marshall
county previously. .., =.
The entire state of Minnesota is
being intensely organized and it is
expected that very strong farm Or
termination will result in the thorough
campaign being CARRIED on all over
the estate.

BEMlDU BREAD MAKERS
UNDERSELL ST. PAUL BAKERS

Benlidji bread manufacturers are
underselling baking companies In st.
Paul, according to advertised prices
carried in the Twin City papers. The
demand for the pound and a half
loaf over the pound loaf is ten to
one. The advertised prices by Twin
City MAKERS is 12H cents, while the
Bemidji bakers are selling this loaf
wholesale for ~ cents.
The flavor retaining qualities In
large loaf are far greater than those
of a small loaf, therefore the demand
Is greater.

Cass county will be among the first

The first move was to spread bene-
fits at once and alike to every part
of the entire 7,006-mile system, OF
state trunk highways by putting 49,

provides on each to 8 mile section

CONGRESS AT WORK. TO:
ENFORCE PROHIBITION
Representative Volstead Gives
Congress a Supplement to
His Own Law
(By United Press)

Washington, May ~12.-(By Her
bert Walker)--Congress today start
ed the work of plugging up the leaks
in the enforcement of national pro-
hibition. The plugs are found in the
supplement to the Volstead law pro-
posed by Representative Volstead of
Minnesota which has the united sup
port of the Anti-Saloon league and
most of the drys in congress. Hear
ings on the supplement were contin-
ued today before the house judiciary
committee of which Volstead is the
chairman.
The primary object of the drive in
demanding legislation in addition to
the Volstead law is to administer the
knockout blow to the ruling of for
mer Attorney General Palmer that
beer is medicine and may be pre-
scribed in unlimited quantities. The
drys want to make sure the new pro-
hibition commissioner will not change
the ruling in effect.
This action marks the first step to-
ward the amendment of the Volstead
law since it was enacted in October,
1919. The main provision of the
Volstead supplement are:
Absolute prohibition against the
prescribing Of beer as medicine.
An embargo on imports of liquors
until the "amount of such liquor now
in bonded warehouses has been re-
duced to quantities that in the opin-
ion of the prohibition commissioner
will, with the liquor that may be
thereafter imported, be sufficient to
supply the. great needs for all non
beverage problems.
Greater restrictions on the use of
alcohol in making Of patent medi-
cine.
