West Making Bid
for States Wheat

The west coast will be In the mar
ket for Montana wheat this season,
according to j. c. TempIeton, who
recently opened offices in Great Falls
! for the Woodward Newhouse company
Of Minneapolis and Duluth.
The opening Of the Great Falls
office was due to the fact that much
Of the grain will have to seek the
western market. The dry season in
Washington has cut the wheat supply
Of that state and the several large
mills Of the west coast will probably
be pushed for grain, Templeton said.
This will cause fluctuations in which
on some days there will be an advan-
tage In sending the Montana wheat
west.
While the car situation has been
considerable handicap on wheat oper-
ations and movement, the Great
Northern has been able to provide
more adequate supply than other
roads, according to Templeton. He
said that the transportation Difficult
ties may even work to the advantage
of the market, If it can hold back the
grain so that il reaches the market in
a slower and more orderly fashion.
Stacking Of wheat and other measures
taken may hold the buying over six
months instead Of the shorter time in
other years, he said.
Speaking Of the world situation,
Templeton said that the exporting
country will have an advantage until
Russia again enters the field and that
until that time, wheat probably will
not touch the pre-war levels.
He predicted that Montana would
rave at least series Of good crop
yields after the failures Of recent
years.
"It reminds me of an old trader
ears ago on the Market" he said.
Those were the years when we were
aking up collections for the aid Of the
oor farmers in Kansas. We would
