Car Crashes Into

A Studcbaker runabout driven by
Charles Cross, crashed head-on into
a big telephone pole just opposite the
entrance of Frank Nadeaus restaur-
ant about six o'clock Thursday even
ing. Mr.. Cross was driving up the
hill on Main street at fair rate of
speed and as he crossed the Maine
Central railroad crossing, lost con-
troll of the machine. Mr.. Cross was
thrown against the windshield and
cut about the head and on one arm.
The front end of the machine was
badly wrecked. The accident was
caused by the roughness of the rail-
road crossing.

GETTING OUT OF WHEAT

Announcement from the winter wheat country that there
would be Is per cent less wheat sown this fall is the only thing
that will restore the price of wheat to a profitable figure. Talk
of fixing the price by federal statute is merely moonshine.
Wheat is low in price because we have raised too much of il.
War prices stimulated the production of wheat in vast quantities
where wheat was never grown before. The return of Europe to
production of its own wheat left US with no market for wheat
produced from these new acres and there was only one way in
which to reduce our wheat acreage and that was to make wheat
Improbable. Soon over supply of wheat glutted the market,
depressed the price and now farmers, where they can, are going
to grow less wheat.
Suppose the government could guarantee a profitable price
on wheat. Wheat would then become the only sure thing on the.
farm. Millions of acres that are now in other grains and in corn,
millions of acres that are now in grass and even millions of acres
that are now in cotton would be sown to wheat and then what
would we do with so much wheat? The government would have
to buy it and sell it at a loss and charge the loss up to the tax
payers.
Then the hog farmer would want a guaranteed price on hogs.
There have been times in the not distant past when hogs could
not be raised at a profit. They would not return the market
price for the grain they had. If the government can guarantee
a profitable price for wheat, why not for hogs? Then think of
the hogs we could raise. Almost any farmer could carry over
twice as many sows as before and with the price guaranteed most
farmers could raise two crops of pigs in a season. It would be
easy enough to double the number of hogs in the country. If a
profit on hogs could be guaranteed by the government there would
be millions and millions of hogs raised where there are no hogs
now.
Then what would we do with the hogs? The government
would have to buy them in order to guarantee its price and would
have to sell them in Europe at a loss. The loss would be passed
on to the taxpayers. Always the taxpayers. The taxpayer holds
the sack for everything the government tries to do. He is still
paying taxes for losses incurred by his government when it guar
anteed a fixed return to the railroads during the war. The war
is over and we might as well learn to keep out of those lines of
production in which there is an oversupply. If it were not so
the producers of gasoline would be entitled to government pro-
lection just now with a guaranteed price and wouldn't that be
a travesty on justice, the government instead of Standard Oil
holding up the price of gasoline to protect the producers.

WHY is A PRESIDENT?

Not many elected presidents have taken office to more uni
versal expressions of confidence than has the vice president who
by accident of death has become the chief executive of this nation.
Behind those expressions is the feeling that Coolidge is a safe,
sane, capable man to take charge of the high office he inherits.
the president? r.2s.
Until one class or another fails to get its demands" over?
Until one or another class feels disappointed when the president
refuses to favor impossible programs conjured up by the so called
leaders" of one or another class, avocation or organization, rang
ing from the eminently selfish practically that hopes to so adj
vantage itself at the expense of others and who know exactly what
they want to the upper idealsts who do not know what they want?
We are necessarily demanding leadership" 1t has become a
shibboleth. Leadership" which way? Leadership" where?
Milling about a dozen golden calves" in worship, a dozen political
groups are seeking different ways out of the wilderness of post
war difficulties by as many different routes. We are tired of
marching by the compass. We want short cuts and we incline to
listen to leadership" that lacks not only sense of direction but
the knowledge that safe leadership makes requisite.
How soon then shall the expressions of confidence in Presi-
dent Coolidge change to accusation, opposition and condemnation
in the political babel of present conditions?
1t is time, as a mere measure of safety first, that we shall
greatly modify our mob politics, cease hauling different ways,
evnce a willingness to push while others pull in the same dir
ectOn. Coolidge comes into office to a general popularity and a
confidence that are unusual in the circumstances that have made
him president. The impression is that he is safe, sane and sensible
and a practical man with experience and purpose. He should
have a fair chance to demonstrate his usefulness. Let's quit
milling about like a herd in a storm and permitting every blanket
Hopping demogog to stampede us in punches and give Coolidge
the chance we refused Harding and for which we have been sorry
since.

BOOST

Someone has started that Paradise is not a place but a dis
position" It's pretty hard to improve on that, for behind it is
the fact that our happiness depends entirely on our viewpoint.
And the viewpoint is made up entirely by comparisons.
Compared to the way we were making money during the
war, we are pretty hard hit, here in the Galatin. Most of us are
doing little better than swapping dollars, some making a little,
others going downhill. And because we experienced a few years
of hectic prosperity, we are terribly dissatisfied with the way
things are now going. Go back to the pre-war years. Don't
you remember the agitation concerning the price of wheat, an
agitation that was nearly as widespread as the present one? Didn't
the college and the state department of agriculture and the federal
people all dig into statistics and tell us that it cost about 81 cents
a bushel to produce the wheat we got 20 cents for at the elevator.
Didn't we talk of curtaiing the wheat crop and diversified farm
ing?
Look about you, compare the Ganatin with any other country
down in the mouth if you could take a trip elsewhere and see farm
after farm absolutely deserted. Not only in Montana but, in other
states as well. The trouble is we seem to take things harder here.
AL of which brings us to the fact that this is a different
Ganatn valley from the Ganahn of a decade ago. Not different
In its soils, its climate or what can be taken from the land, but
different in the viewpoint of its people. Ten years ago every
mar in the Gallatin was a booster. He believed in the valley, in
the tate, and more than anything else, in himself. Today-wen
to hear us talk a stranger would think local farmers the most
dOwntrodden people on earth. And it isn't only the farmers, it's
the merchants, the tradespeople, the salaried men. Everyone is
industriously using his little private hammer.
Let's shake out of it. Perhaps we don't have everything we
want. Perhaps times are hard and interest money difficult to
get. But a hard luck story never got you anywhere. Let's kid
the other fellow into believing we are having a good time. Bye
and Bye we'll believe it ourselves.

producers.
Because of lack of comparable data
no exact comparison IAN be made with
last years crop. However, In most
of these states all conditions were
much more favorable this year than
last. Ewes entered the winter in
strong condition, winter food was am
pie and winter weather not severe;
weather conditions during Landing
were generally favorable, with only a
few storms of long duration. While
grass was somewhat late in starting
this spring, ample moisture produced
abundant spring and summer range.
Losses of lambs have been light.
The poorest condition and the
smallest crop was reported from Al-
IONA. where conditions after Landing
reduced considerably an early prom
ising crop. In Texas and New Mex
leo the drouth conditions of last fall
were reflected in the failure to breed
an unusually large number Of ewes,
but favorable spring conditions result
ed in a large per cent of lambs
dropped being saved.
In the intermountain and Pacific
states conditions were generally very
| favorable and the number Of lambs
saved was large, except in Utah and
Nevada, where local conditions re-
duced somewhat the percentages as
compared to the other states in this
area. In the Rocky mountain states
the lamb crop saved was above the av
erage, and the lambs have mede ex-
cellent growth.

MILK COWS AND DAIRYING.

This branch of the states livestock
Industry has enjoyed and Is stIA
making a steady growth, as a study
of the subioined tables will show.
This is due to other factors as well as
to the increase in population. Gil.
matte conditions are favorable for
handling milk and its products the
year round, and are conducive to
healthfulness of stock, as evidenced by
the very low percentage Of tuberculal
cattle in Montana, and by freedom
from other diseases. The enormous
production Of alfalfa hay as well as
other nutritious tame and wild hays,
and Of feed crops, such as corn, bar
ley, oats, rye, root crops, and sun
flowers insure an abundance Of the
best dairy feeds in most parts OF the
state. The conversion of these into
dairy products permits the shipment
Of them in concentrated form, which
largely Overcomes the disadvantages
Of being distant from heavy consum-
ing centers. More recently the tend

Investigation combined with the eff
feet Of steadier and comparatively
higher prices received for dairy pro-
ducts has stimulated this industry
The rapid extension of the corn pro-
duction Of the state can be regarded
as both the cause and result of in
creased use of dairy cows. The re-
cent advance is marked by the intro
duction of many bulls and cows of the
dairy type, and by more general i'm
rTovement in care and feeding Of
dairy cows, than by the increased
numbers. Indications point to the con-
tinuance Of the growth Of dairying in
the state, in the number of dairy
cows, as well as in the Improvement

The Exodus from American Farms

With unceasing regularity. and increasing activity the
movement from the farms to the cities continues undated.
This is a situation that should be squarely faced and that
should command the best of legislative thought to bring about
a change.
Reports from 80 out of 154 counties in Georgia, show that
1855 negroes have left those counties this year and that
1890 white people also have left the farms. Including the
year 1920 and to date 228,938 negroes have left the state Of
Georgia. Other Southern states have met like experiences.

example where builders being compelled to finish construction
on time under contract have been compelled to pay as high as
$50 a day for bricklayers.
Short sighted mercenaries who are thus bidding for the
man on the farms seem to do so in the very teeth Of economic
law. Stripping the farms is bound to spell heavy increase In
the cost OF city living, so in the long run both employer and
workman are bound to feel the evil effect of disturbing the
economic equilibrium. For the workman, the answer awaits
only the passing Of time, when the competition for city Jobs
