"The Chicken" VIII Be Published
Monthly Until Date Of Annual

To carry the message of the coming
show of the Great Falls Poultry and
Rabbit association, a new publication is
being prepared by that organization. IL
will be called 1.-THE Chicken" and will
be issued once a month until the time
of the show in December.
The first issue of The Chicken will
be mailed in a few days and will carry
some of the plans for the show, as
well as stories on what poultry men
of the vicinity are doing. The second
issue will be published in November and
will take the place of the usual show
catalogue. 1t will give a list of pre-
miums and prizes and let the breeders
know the plans under way for the
event. The last issue will be published
just before the show and will be dis
tributed to visitors then.
At a meeting held Thursday the show

that at least 10 speciality clubs of the

Good Weather Helps
Threshing Work in
Wolf Point Section
Special to The Tribune.

Wolf Point, Oct. Very favorable
weather has enabled farmers to vir-
tually complete their threshing at the
earliest date in the agricultural history
of this section. This is the more re
markable considering it is the biggest
crop and largest acreage ever grown
here.
Yields are unusually uniform, and,
while some reach up to bonanza figures,
the average for the whole Wolf Point
country is put at 20 bushels per acre.
Motor trucks and horse-drawn trucks
are bringing a steady stream of wheat.
On account of car shortage, the six
local grain-buying concerns are at times
unable TO receive all that is brought. A
large percentage Of the farmers have
signed the Grain Growers associations
pooling contracts. Many who did not
sign before harvest have signed recent
~, hoping to realize better than the
present low prices.
Corn, potatoes, melons and all sim
liar crops are abundant and of excellent
quality.

next year.
The bond market during the week
withstood well the numerous unsettlng
pieces of news from abroad, and al
though there were substantial recess
sions in prices of some groups, the gen
eral list behaved satisfactorily and re-
covery during the past few days has
brought prices back near to their pre-
vious high levels. New issues were
offered in fair amount and were well
received. While the volume was not
large, the variety was great, and it IS
thought by many that more lew issues
would have been offered if it had been
thought that they would have been well
received in the phase of an ~unfavorable
foreign situation. Municipals were
quiet and the number of new offerings
was cut down substantially from the
week previous. Federal Farm Land
Bank bonds, however, enjoyed an active
market, a new large issue of the latter
being disposed of on a APO basis inside
of two hours.
In addition to the general unsettle-
ment of the market, railroad bonds
had to withstand also the publication
of their earning reports for August,
which in many cases showed & lessen
ing of income, due to the recent rail
way and coal strikes. The showing Of
most roads even in the phase of these
handicaps was surprisingly good and
augurs well for heavier profits result
ing from the new wage scale and from
the heaviest traffic carried for several
years. Public utility bonds made the
best showing of any class, their ad-
vance during the last several months
having been more conservative than
those of any other group, they naturally
withstood the pressure of unfavorable
developments much more satisfactorily.

effect before long Of fresh deprecia-
ton in the market and then the whole
process has to be gone through all
over again. 1t is extremely difficult
to sell bonds upon the downward
movement. A foreign loan still affords
the only conceivable solution but such
a loan of the size that would be re-
quired in order to do any real good
seems virtually out Of the question

The British banker, Reginald Nc
Kenna. made a highly important con-
tribution to the r~eparations discussions
when he told the bankers convention
this week that the normal way for a
country to settle a foreign debt was
through an excess of merchandise ex-
ports over imports and that Germany
at the present time having no such
favorable trade balance, was in no po-
sition to pay the vast sun demanded.
