See page for more information
on progress of the fight. Read
Townley's article on page S. When
you circulate and send petition to
your senator or congressman, write
the Leader how many names you
got and tell us about the sentiment
in your community. Send us
copies, if possible, of the personal
letters you write congressman and
senator's. At least tell us briefly
what you wrote and what reply you
got, if any. Don't stop at one letter
to senator or congressman. Have
any meetings been held in your
neighborhOod at which the matter
of the revival of the grain corpora
tion was discussed or acted upon?
Or will there be any meetings
where the proposition can be pre-
sented? Send petitions to con-
gressmen and senator's, not to the

to the point. He wrote as follows:
"As our representative I ask that
you use your influence to revive the
grain corporation and fix a price on
wheat that will assure farmers cost
and fair profit. Immediate action is
important as farmers are fast going
bankrupt" \>
Mr.. Calkins' letter to his congress-
men was fine, too. He said:
II see by the papers that united
effort by the farmers of the United
States is now on foot urging congress
to re-enact the law creating govern
ment grain corporation, as was in
operation during the late war. The
government then fixed the price of
wheat. Now the price of wheat is far
below the cost of production, while the
purchasing power of dollar for such
articles as the farmer requires, includ-
ing clothing, farm machinery, etc., is
about one-half in comparison as to
what it was before the war. In fact,
not only wheat but all the products of
the farm must now be produced at a
loss.
Forty per cent of the population of
this country are directly interested
and engaged in the occupation of
farming and are practically bankrupt.
The loss of the purchasing power Of
such large portion of the producing
element of this country naturally
paralyzes all other industries to a
great extent. The question now is
can congress sit idly by and fiddle
"while Rome burns?" Will you assist
in the above proposed legislation?
IF the government will stabilize
the price of grain by pooling it as
during the war the present serious
situation will be readily remedied. I
would be pleased to hear from you as
to what the farmers of Montana can
expect from your efforts in this par
ticular line"
Here is one of the fine letters we
have received:
Editor National Leader: I am very
much interested in the revival of the
grain corporation and have taken the
matter up at our Farmers union local.
Every woman and man present signed
the petition. The following letter and
petition, with 81 signatures, was sent
to G. W. Norris, our senator:
"Hon. G. W. Norris: ..>-.-
II am sending you under separate
cover petition with 81 signatures re-
questing the revival of the govern
ment grain corporation. We circulat-
ed and signed the petition because we
believe it is the only hope to relieve
the unsettled conditions. There are
many farms sold for the taxes, many
laborers out Of work, some power
plants being fired with corn, because
coal is SIG per ton and corn SO per ton.
The average price Of producing corn
is about 80 cents. It is selling for Is

bushel of corn. It cost about $1.80 to
$1.90 to produce wheat. 1t is selling
for "a cents per bushel, loss of about

revived, so that all of
Americas wheat can be pooled and a
guaranteed price covering costs re-

being made by farmers is satisfactory
that is, it is satisfactory as a

But the number of letters and peti--
tlons to congressman has got to IN
CREASE RAPIDLY if real results
are to be had. In each issue we will
publish some of the best letters sent
congressman, and try to mention as
many as possible of the individuals

Henry E. Cass, one of our readers,
has called a meeting of farmers to be
held at New York Mills, Mimi, to con-
slider resolutions asking the revival of
the grain corporation.
Mr.. and Mrs. M. Boom of Bladen,
Neb., write us that they took the mat
ter up at the meeting of their Farm
ers' union local and that 81 persons
signed petition to Senator Norris.
Jacob De Haan, Benedict, N. D.,
writes that he already has obtained
"a names on a petition to congress to
revive the grain corporation and-will
forward it to congress after he has
obtained more names.
Charles A. Ferris of, Forsythe,
Mont, got business men to sign. He
writes in for more petitions.
Thorvald Astrey of Coalridge,
Mont, got 26 names. Tony Neva of
Kensal, N. D., got 46 signatures. Ed
Glad of Lancaster, Minn., got 72 sig
natures.
W. E. Graberhorst of Dayton, Ore,
writes he is having "excellent luck"
with the petition he is circulating, and
will forward a large number of names
to congress.
Fred Bubbers of Morristown, S. D.,
wrote his congressman and senators
about the proposition and has receiv-
ed some interesting replies that we
may discuss later
G. B. Calkins of Stevensville, Mont,
also wrote congressman.
Don't let your congressman dodge.

ALUMINIUM SALE

The aluminium sale put on by the
John H. Keller store last Friday
was a great success in every way,
hundreds of pieces of this splendid
kitchen ware being disposed of. The
low prices at which it was sold made
it possible for everybody to outfit
their kitchen with aluminium. From
early morning until afternoon, when
the stock was exhausted, great
crowds of housekeepers thronged
the Keller store and came away la
den with green wrapped bundles
containing their purchases. Mr.. Kel-
Ter is ever on the alert to give his
friends and patrons the benefit of
low prices and splendid goods,
whether it be carpets, kitchen ware,
ready to-wear or anything handled
by the Keller store.

WHY TAKE A CHANCE7

The cost of a stove depends
chiefly upon the amount Of material
in it. Fosters stoves--the Pine
Grove and the Opal Range-will
outweigh all stoves on the market
anyway near their price. The Pine
Grove and the Opal have been sold
by Chenault & Orear ever since
thew have been in business-over
twenty years. The Pine Grove and
the Opal range are backed by years
of service TO the people Of Mont

of Chenault & Orear backs the Pine

Breaks Record For
Advance on Tobacco

A crop Of 10000 pounds delivered
BY Roy Byrd, Of the Stops neigh
borhood, broke the record on the
local floors of the Burnley Tobacco
Cooperative Association here last
week. he received an advance of
S19.65 per hundred for the entire
lot and 24OO pounds of which
brought an advance of $26, the
highest paid by the association.
Mr.. Byrd has LONG been recognized
~as a grower of the best weed in this
county, and it seems he has set
record for the growers Of this and
other hurley growing counties to
"shoot at" The prices which Mr..
Byrd yearly receives for his crop is
evidence that it pays to 60 in for
quality rather than for quantity,
and if more growers would follow
his example they would be much
better off financially. The advance
record on the local floors was for
.nerly held By J. C. Graves, his crop
bringing an average Of $15.25. Both
of these gentlemen not only make a
careful study Of the growing and
curing Of the weed but are great
believers in the science Of crop TO-
fation.

and barleys are very satisfactory.
while not to exceed % to so per cent
of the grain ration in the form of oats
may well be fed. Because of price,
the bulk of grain ration should ordi-
narily be milo maize, hegari and bar
ley which should be ground or rolled.
preferably a variety of grain should
be fed and there is no better way
than to allow hogs constant access to
grain in self-feeders where the hogs
may balance their own ration.
If it is found desirable to mix the
ration. one part of tankage to 10
parts mixed grain is a very satisfac-
tory basis. A good growth may be
obtained from one part of alfalfa
meal TO six or seven of grain. though
the carcasses are apt to be somewhat
paunchy.
Alfalfa pasture is very desirable
but most economical returns here will
come where hogs have access Ito all
the grain they want in addition to
pasture.
Hog production" Mr.. Heard de-
clares. ''is very unsatisfactory unless
the growers are provided with proper
equipment He is advised by all
means to have hog tight fences in
his pens, a matter in itself requiring
some engineering talent.
Shade Is Essential
Shade in summer is absolutely es-
sential and may be secured by a
cheaply constructed shed covered
with straw. palm leaves or iron roof
ing. These sheds should be open on
all sides to give free play to breezes.
Unbelievable as it may seem to
many persons not acquainted with
hogs. they are the cleanest of barn
yard animals if given a chance. Mr..
Heard advises the construction of sa-
nitary wallows, not mud holes. a
sanitary walloW should be q concrete
basin filled with few inches of clean
water.
Especially in summer, hogs should
be protected against vermin. This
may be done by pouring a thin coat
of oil on the water of the Wallow or
by putting UP rubbing posts at va
rious places. wrapping the posts with
