THE AGRICULTURAL CONFERENCE

This week, there are gathered at Washington,
several hundred men who are meeting with the
of devising ways to make agricultural
pursuits more lucrative. 1t is a worthy cause
one that has a wide, and far-reaching interest,
for as President Harding said in his address to the
men, agriculture is the foundation of the stability
of the country.
In the past few months, a great deal has been
said and written by men of high standing in the
financial world, about the needs of the farming
industry in this country. The ills of crop pro-
~pressions of sympathy for the producer, but there
has been little actual action taken toward curing
the trouble. There is no mystery about the rea-
son for present conditions as far as the returns
to the producer of grain, cotton, and meat is con-
cerned. The bottom has been Knocked out of
values.
If this conference ends with the passing of a
lot of resolutions as to what congress should do
for the farmer, or places itself on record with
other resolutions, as being sorry for the present
conditions, there will be no good come of it. What
it must do if it intends to be of service, and &C
complish the purpose for which it has been called,
is to devise real ways for helping the farmer back
to a firm financial footing in the United States.
This cannot be done by passing resolutions.
The hope is, that, like the conference on limited
armament, there will be a definite program map
ped out, which can be followed, and can be put
into practical action, whereby the farming inter
ests will receive the support necessary to keeI
it on a basis of returning a profit to the farmer

sMONTANA-36' POPULAR
WITH GRAIN GROWERS

"Montana-36," a winter wheat Sc
lection given to grain growers in Mon
tana through the work of Alfred At
kinson, now president and formerly
agronomist at Montana State Col
lege. is a popular wheat with many
farmers in this state. Joel C. Jack
son, a breeder of pure grain seed at
Harrison, writes as follows concern
ing his experience with "Montana-36."
zone year ago last fall l bought
five bushels of Kanred winter wheat
and five busiest of "Montana-36." l
planted them in the same field, side
by side, At threshing time the Kan
red yielded 80 bushels to the acre and
"Montana-36" yielded forty-fve bush
els to the acre. The seed of both
varieties was excellent and I have
seeded it all right back this fall"

of uses of electricity, Mr.. McCune
told of it's first use for lighting, then
power, following it's adoption to man
u~facturing heat. He told of the many
appliances that have come into use
since the heating devices had been
perfected. He outilend the equipment
now manufactured for household use
and explained the saving in labor and
time these appliances permitted.
In his talk he compared the num-
Der of appliances now used in the
homes and stated that for each cleo
trical convenience in the average
home there were seven talking ma
chimes. This he stated was due to
the laxity of the selling end of the
business. To increase the use Of
electrical appliances, he stated, it is
necessary that those in the business
should become more interestd in the
publicity work of educating people.
Advertising he stated, was one of the
means whereby more sales could be
made. Another method, and one that
is used almost exclusively, is the per-
sonal call at the home with an ap-
pliance. Here the use Of the equip
ment is explained and usually a sale
is made.
Something of especial interest was
covered by Mr.. McCune in explain
ing the. present development of radio
wireless messages. He called atten-
ton to the radio station at the Emer-
son junior high school, which he stat
ed is one Of the best equipped in the
state. Here the students at the jun.
Tor high are being taught the uses of
the radio, and the instructor is sc
thoroughly interested in his work that
he is making great Roadway in it.
Many other interesting features OF
the business were taken up by Mr.
I McCune, his talk being received will

the desire of Mr.. Howard to give to
the people of Bozeman something
finer and better than the average mu-
steal entertainment; he called atten-
ton to the fine talent in the city and
to past achievements of Mr.. Howard
in concert work in large eastern cit
les. He also pointed out the object
was to elevate the musical pleasures
of the people here. to a higher stand
ard.
Others spoke, favoring the concerts,
among them Mr.. Chef Sweet, Jack
Harader, J.. P. Fabrick, all of whom
expressed the belief that the concerts
were just what was desired. Rev.
Robert Smith also spoke of the pro-
gram as something to be desired. He
stated that if the concerts were to
be given for the purpose of CONNER
cializing music he would not approve,
But as he understood it, the small
charge was made merely to cover the
actual expenses, and that contribu-
tions were necessary to help defray
costs. Relative to the time the con.
certs might be held, he believed the
uplifting sentiment of high class mu
sic was suitable for a Sunday concert
He also stated the hour should alsS
be so arranged as not to interfere
with any other programs now being
held by the churches.
A really interesting talk was tina
given by A. F. McCune, speaker O
the day. His subject was electrical
appliances, their uses and the uses t
which electricity was now beini
adapted. He cleverly introduced hi
talk with a witty story referring +
his own ability as a speaker.

was called to order at 10000 a. m.
Thursday morning in the town hall,
Norton, Va. More than 400 delegates
representing every county in the dis
trict We're present. There had been
much speculation among the dele
gates and visitors as To who would be
the nominee. Every one wanted
Slemp. But Slemp sent Chairman
Pendleton n telegram which seemed
to put him out of the range OF pos
sibilities. He asked that his name
not be placed before the convention.
that to do so would be hurtful both to
him and the party because he would
have to decline ii nominated, that he
had taken his position after careful
consideration and would stand firmly
OH it. This message threw decided
damper over the spirits of his adj
mirers, for they had still hoped to
have some encouragement from him.
This message was received Wedpes-
day night, and the delegations from
the various counties began imme-
diately TO hold caucuses with the idea
OF hitting upon the best available.
Barnes Gillespie was generally ac-
ceptahle. but there was one trouble.
He would not be able to make the
race on account of poor health. 9th
er names prominently mentioned
were those of Hyatt, Anderson and
Crockett Bowen. BY the time the
convention was called to order, Bow
en- looked like a sure bet.
Young Anderson Speak,
The convention being called to or
der, Chairman Pendleton asked Rev.
Simmons, of the Baptist church, to
lead in prayer. Then Mr.. John G.
Anderson, young delegate from the
city of Bristol. was introduced us
temporary chairman. Anderson spoke
for forty minutes in very fine way
outlining and eulogizing the promis-
es and accomplishments of the Repub-
lican administration. His speech was
clear, sane, appropriate and well re-
ceived. Following this the usual
committee were appointed and asked
to report Mt the afternoon session
At this point Hon. l.. p. Summers,
of Washington county, secured the
floor and in Il very eloquent speech
introduced resolution proposing
that the Republicans of the Ninth
District erect suitable monument
to the memory of the late Thomas ].
Muncy, former United States Dirtrict
Attorney. Delegations from the va
rious counties were asked to canvass
for donations and report later. 1t
was later reported that nil counties
would subscribe, some donating us
much as two hundred dollars.
Stampede for Slemp
The convention met again at 100
p. M. To an innocent observer every
delegate seemed fixed for Bowen.
