GOVERNMENT TO AID
WHEAT GROWERS THRU
NEW ORGANIZATION
COLORADO TO SUPPORT EXPORT
CORPORATION BILL

With eleven other states from the
agricultural section. Colorado's farm
ing and financial interests this week
stepped to the support of the NcNary-
Haugen Export Corporation Bill thru
a combined organization perfected
following session of the Northwes-
tern financial confeenrce called by
President Coolidge.
The conference, after considering
methods for relieving the banking sit,
uation in Northwestern states, result
ing from low prices for farm products
turned over to the agricultural dele
gates the task Of selecting proposed
Legislation now before congress which
should be endorsed.
Thirty representatives, delegates
from IL farming states, urged the en-.
actment OF the McNary- -Haugen Ex-
port Corporation bill to restors farm
purchasing power, and the Norbeck-
Burtness measure for government
credits to promote diversification OF
production in wheat areas, both of
which meaures are now before con.
gress. George C. Jewett. general
manager of the American Wheat
Growers Association is a member.
was named to head the legislative
group.
The McNary-Haugen bill provides
for the establishing of government
corporation to purchase exportable
agricultural surplusses for sale over
seas. These surpmsses will be pur-
chased by the government at price
which win give the farmer fair pro-
fit. and this price will raise the prics
paid for products for domestic con.
sumption.
The loss to the government of the
resale abroad win be apportioned
over the domestic sales. supporters
OF the bin declare that the measure
will eliminate the present condition
whereby the small eNportable surplus
es set the price for the whole crop.

PROMOTERS PLANS BALkED
BY CITY AUTHORITIES

j. C. Oswald, of Haxtun, spent sew
eral days last week here promoting
a meeting at which business men,
farmers and laborers were to get to-
gether and dope out remedy for
every business evil and greatly bene-
fit them all. True, his ideas were a
bit vague and not entirely complete,
but he had an unlimited supply of
oratory and it looked for a while like
his efforts were to be crowned with
success and the people of this com
munity were going to spend a pleas
ant evening of music highly colored
gusts of hot air and be greatly enter
tanned to say the least. That was
fair enough and there were no noti-
cable kicks or knocks. But when he
advertised a fight program to follow
as a means Of paying the expenses
that was different matter. and upon
investigation the city council ordered
the fight stopped and a number Of
business men issued statement that
the big blowout did not have their
sanction or recommendation. That
was sufiicient-no fight was held. and
there wasn't corporals guard out
to attend the hot-air feast.
Sufficient to say that Mr.. Oswald
has not attempted to promote any
more meetings here this week and
will likely devote his attentions to
other localities.
