WHEAT GROWERS
OPEN MINNEAPOLIS
SALES AGENCY OPENED-Ex-
PECT TO HANDLE 100000
BUSHELS OF WHEAT

An Associated Press dispatch dat
ed July 81, brings interesting news
to local farmers who have signed up

dispatch says:
''The Northwest Wheat Growers.
Associated, representing 10000
growers in the states of Oregon,
Washington, Idaho, Montana and
North Dakota, opened sales agency
here today.
The organization will apply i'm
mediately for a membership in the
Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce,
according to George C. Jewett,
manager of the organization, who
is here to arrange for the opening
of the agencies.
"The Minnesota law, declaring the
Chamber of Commerce and other
exchanges open public markets,
provides for the admission of CO.
operative organizations in the ex-
change.
"The wheat growers plan to make
use of the sample market, but will
not deal in futures, Mr.. Jewett said
Under normal conditions, the
growers in these five states will pro-
duce 40,OOO,000 of wheat, said Mr..
Jewett. Approximately one-half of
this amount will flow through the
sales ageny at Minneapolis, and the
other half will go to the Pacific
coast"

Equal to Best
When asked how this section of
the state compared to the other parts
Mr.. Greenfield replied: you're up
with the best of them and ahead of
some. None of the non-irrigated land
in the state looks better than that in
Roosevelt county and the shocks
stand thicker on the fields here than
in most places. Another thing that
has attracted attention is the in
increased acreage of corn. This is
one of the surest indications of a
successful farming locality"
High praise was given the Farm
Bureaus and county agents of the
state as well as the Montana Develop
ment Association, for the educational
work being done.
That this will be Montana's big
gest and best year for small grains
IS unquestioned and now that the
Federal government has established

CHAS. D. GREENFIELD Sees BIGGEST
WHEAT CROP IN HISTORY OF STATE

Charles D. Greenfield, travelling
agricultural agent for the Great
Northern Railway Co., was in Wolf
Point yesterday. He was looking
over the farm situation and attending
to other business matters here. In
an interview at The Herald office he
said that throughout the state the
demand for labor far exceeded the
supply and in some localities the
shortage was acute. Tn Great Falls
and some Of the other larger towns
there are few unemployed men who
cannot or will not go into the harvest
fields but in the smaller towns every
body is working and still there is
shortage Of farm labor.
Our Biggest Crop
In speaking of the present wheat
crop Mr.. Greenfield said that in his
opinion the yield would far exceed
the early prediction of thirty million
bushels. The largest wheat crop the
state ever raised was 42,OOO.OOO
bushels in 1916 and this year should
not fall short of that mark. The
yield per acre may be slightly under
that of 1916 but the increased acre
age will overcome the differences.
The largest yield per acre of win
,er wheat found so far was at Great
Falls where summer fallowed field
yielded so bushels to the acre and

DANA EAsToN POPULAR

The candidacy of Dana Easton, the
brilliant young attorney of Poplar,
for clerk of the supreme court is
meeting with favor everywhere. The
voters who know him or learn of his
ability and deserving qualities are all
outspoken in his support.
Mr.. Easton is service man who
volunteered early in the war and rem
dered valient service but was one of
those marked for sacrifice and after
many months in hospitals came home
a cripple, with leg missing.
Dana is competent for the posi-
ton he seeks and it is hoped every
voter who takes Republican ballot
to the booth will put a big plain X
opposite his name.

About $50 members OF Calvary Bap-
tist Church met in business session
last night and ignored the case, of their
evangelist. the Rev. DIR. Oscar Hay
wood, Klokard for the Ku KIux Klan.
Never has any gathering Of men and
women exhibited less interest in an
individual than they did in DR.. Hay
wood. Advance notices of the assem-
bly,, coming from q source that should
have been we'll informed, had it that
warm debate was the least that the
public might expect. On the contrary,
unity, peace and concord settled upon
the meeting at the very outset, and
this desirable trinity remained
throughout
On Tuesday night, it was learned, the
Board of Deacons of Calvary Church
met and decided that Haywood
should have hearing before the ques-
tion OF his right to ma'.tain positions

S. Raymond Esty, Chairman of the
Board Of Deacons, said after the close
OF the meeting that the action of the
board consisted solely of sending a let
ter to DR.. Haywood requesting him to ap-
pear before the deacons. He said that
no date for the appearance has been set.
He added that this is not to be inter-
preted as sign that DIR. Haywood will
be asked to choose between the Klan
and the church. Mr.. Esty said that the
opinion of many members of the church
is that all the publicity given DR.. Hay
wood and his affiliation with the Klan
has not proved of benefit to the church.
Deacons Want to Know.
Furthermore, he said, the deacons
were rather anxious to know whether
DR.. Haywood in his work for the Klan,
has violated any OF the tenets and be-
liefs Of the church.
But the Rev. John Roach Straton,
pastor of Calvary, had no comment to
make concerning DR.. Haywood, and only
once did he refer to the Klan.
I'VE have newspaper men present" he
told the members. "They have come
expecting something sensational Well,
let's give them a prayer meeting and
song service that VIII scnd them back
to their Offices saying that they never
attended a church service so fine despite
all this Ku Klux Klan talk"
SO hymns were sung with fervor, ard
DR.. Straton prayed for the reporters and
their newspapers. After that four new
members, including William Harmon
Black, were voted into the congregation.
And then came the tranquil business
meeting.

his hotel room, or was supposed to be
there, awaiting the news. The great
