scattered communities in which the
Weld has been brought to a lower
point by grasshoppers and adverse
weather conditions tend to reduce the
grand average for the state as com.
pared with the returns which seemed
probable when the growing season
was opening, but grain men familiar
with crop conditions estimate the
states acre average at from 20 to 20
bushels, with the mark of % appear
ing in the forecasts more frequently
than any other.
The lowest of the local estimates on
the 1928 crop place the states total

GRAIN LOAN
PLAN FAVORED

Belief that the Montana plan of
farm warehouse storage grain certifi-
Gates as collateral for loans will be ap-
proved by the federal farm loan board
is expressed by Chester c. Davis,
state commissioner of agriculture, on
his return from st. Paul, where he at
tended a conference between mem
bers of the board and bankers and
others of the northwest who are in
terested in the subject of the financ-
ing and marketing of the 1928 grain
crop.
Mr.. Davis had previously presented
the plan, which had been made posi-
bic through an act of the last legis.
lature, to the board and to the Off
GERS of the Spokane farm land and
intermediate credit banks. He was in
vited to attend the St. Paul confer
ence for the purpose of presenting
his views on the subject.
At the close of the conference, he
was advised that his plan was con-
sidered workable and that probably
arrangements can be made to make
it available to the farmers of the
state in time for the marketing of
the crop which is now being har,
vested.
During the consideration of the
serious question of the disposal of the
coming crop to the advantage of the
farmer, in the face of the depressed
market, o. E. Bradfute, president Of
the farm bureau in Chicago, presented
the farm bureau plan to meet the
existing market crisis. His plan con
templates the holding on the farm Of
100000 900 bushels of wheat upOI
which credit should be advanced, this
plan calling for the designation O.
the farm granaries as federal Ii
censed warehouses under the supervl
sion of the United States department
CT agriculture. This plan was gener
ally considered as impracticable, a
it would involve a great amount of in
| spection before the federal depart
ment of agriculture could act.
Among the leaders at the confer
ence were M. A. Corey and Judge Lob
dell, of Washington, D. c., the latte
being the organizer of the presen
federal farm loan system. Other
participating were chiefs of feders
land banks and intermediate cred
banks of the west.
All present seemed deeply cor
cerned over the situation which cor
fronts the farmer in being compelle
to market his wheat at a price lowe
than the cost of production, and the
efforts now appear to be centere
upon the devising of some plan wher'
by the farmer may be financed I
such an extent that he can hold BAG
all or a part of his harvest until sue
time as the market will yield bette
returns.

D!SCOURAGING
The FARMERS

If you read the propaganda news
papers of the great centers of the
east you will find that the farmers
case is hopeless. Lately it has been
proposed that the farmers \of the
United States should hold 100000 600
bushels of wheat in storage this fall
and by making wheat a bit scarcer
in the markets of the world force the
price up. Whether the plan would
fail OF succeed might depend upon
a number of things.
It is possible the gamblers might
still be able to hold the price down,
the gamblers and the buying inter
ests. 1t might be that the wheat
left in the markets would make that
possible. Nobody can tell what would
be the result until the plan is tried.
However, there is no doubt that it
embodies the application of the cor.
rect principal, the control of the COM
modify whose price is to be affected,

Ncerns make it stick, too. By CONTROL
ing their output they fix prices. The
proposal to store 200, 900 900 bushels
of wheat is an attempt TO apply the
principle to wheat.
However, there is Nd desire on the
part of those who regularly profit

grain prices, as shown by statistics
are always better in the fall than il

Starvation prices are paid in thu

ment. Of course, it begs the ques

PUREBREDS EXCEL
IN Use OF FEEDS

&7GAZ%MgE@gzTaT7
The extent to which purebred live,
stock help to solve farmers feed
ing problems is a striking result of a
QUESTIONABLE investigation just COM
pleted by the United States depart
ment of agriculture. In this study
nearly 500 practical stOckmen de-
scribed what their most serious feed
ing problems were and how they were
meeting them.
Ir answer to the question, "DO you
find that livestock OF improved breed
ing make greater gains or produce
more than scrubs or common stock
when fed in the same way?" there
was almost unanimous agreement on
the better results obtained in feeding
improved livestock. Most replies gave
specific figures on the extent of SUI
periority shown by financial returns.
The figures varied widely with an
average superiority of 1916 per cent
for the improved stock. l %ngeneral,
purebred stock excelled the grades
and the grades greatly excelled the
scrubs.
Commenting on the result, livestock
specialists in the department of agrl-
culture point out that improved stock
is more likely to receive somewhat
better feed and care, yet since good
stock and good feed and care go to
gether so commonly, the per cent
given is about what others may TX
pect when they improve their herds
Or flocks. While the result lacks the
preciseness of scientific work, it has
as a background the average of 20
, years experience of nearly 500 prac-
tical livestock owners, under farm
t conditions. The figure given is strik-
ingly similar to that of 40.4 per cent
l obtained by the department more thar
/. a year ago as showing the superior
utility value of purebred over common
stock from a general farm point Of
: view.
i Many farmers, in discussing the
ability of purebreds in utilizing feeds
give interesting experiences. A
southern hog gr0wer states that hi
: purebred swine made so per cent bet
S ter growth than scrubs on the sam,

A South Dakota farmer tells of sell

Another farmer reported a feedinI
test in which he kept well-bred cattl
