SERIOUS FARM PROBLEM.

That diversified farming In Montana has a
great many serious problems with which to con-
tend is apparent, the greatest of which seems to
be railroad rates. The farmer is Handicapped in
many ways when the time comes for him to
market his product, thereby causing him to lose
large sums, through inability to get to the market.
Price fluctuations bring about a low quotation
usually Just as the farmer finds it possible for
him to secure cars, and when prices are up there
is a shortage.
The situation is well covered in the resolutions
adopted at a meeting of the potato growers in
Bozeman, as shown in the following editorial
from the Montana Record-Herald:
Montana Potato Growers
"The freight rates and the low prices paid for
potatoes have put Montana growers of the tubers
in a bad plight, and it is said that about half the
crop of 1922 will be lost unless freight rates are
put back at once to pre-war levels, which would
embody a cut of % per cent in present rates. The
Montana Potato Improvement association, which
held a recent meeting at Bozeman of its 800 mem
bers, with the hope of rescuing the potato grow
ers from this economic dilemma, passed the fol-
lowing resolutions:
Whereas, actual returns on potatoes grad
ing U. S. No. 1 during the present year have
Deen Sucn as 10 result IN pracClcaIly a t0Cal
loss to the grower, and
Whereas, present conditions and future
prospects do not indicate any chance Of i'm
p%rovement in market conditions and will prob
ably result in many potatoes not being ship
ped, to the loss of the grower as well as the
carrier, now, therefore, be it
Resolved, that the only means of relief
to the grower is a material and immediate
reduction in existing freight rates to the CEN
trail terminal markets. We respectfully re-
quest such reduction in freight rates as will
make it possible to market the Montana DO
tato crop"
1T is predicted by T. B. Haynes of KalispeT
one of the largest growers of potatoes in the state
that failure to get relief from the present situa
ton will cause a heavy curtailment in acreag
planted to potatoes in Montana this year. TIL
