The producers news. [volume] (Plentywood, Mont.) 1918-1937, 1924-11-28
Will ANSWER ALL QUESTIONS ASKED HIM

The following letter was received
from Neils Christensen of Dagmar
who takes exceptions to certain
things stated in the Producers News
last week and takes the opportunity
to inform Us that we know nothing
about cooperation, but that he has ev-
idenced the monopoly on all know
Edge pertaining to that form of
business.
In his letter Mr.. Christensen fails to
state why he allowed his name to be
used in one Of the most notorious and
malicioIs campaigns ever heard Of a
gainst Clair Stoner and why he was
willing to aid and abett Cresap in his
obvious conspiracy to elect only Ger
tain candidates for the directOrship
in the Montana Wheat Growers Assn.
Editor Producers News,
PlentywOOd, Mont.
Dear Sire
In the Producers News of Nov. q
1924 you describe the Montana Wheat
Growers Growers Assn, in general,
and the undersigned IN particular, to
which take exception! l plead
guilty of being at the meeting, work
ed and voted for the enforcement res
OutiOn, and would have done so a year
ago! 1t passed unanimously! You
rave over that Mel Christensen was,
and how he was elected Director; al
low me to state that / had nothing to
do with the election and did not de-
sire the job, and said so! But since
elected / have tried to serve the
Wheat Growers to the best of my a
bility.
You write it as reported from Dag
mar country that Niels Christensen
has delivery only one load of wheat
to the Assn. this fall and that the
balance of his crop has been sold in
his wife's name to the other eIeva-
tor company.
MIR. Editor, please be good enough
to tell with my compliments to
whOmsOever reported this. that they
are dirty malicious Liarsl The fact
is l have delivered to the NJ w. G.
Assn this fall 1920 bushels of
wheat, and while my good wife has a
farm in her own name, not one bush
ell has been sold In her name this
fiji you write as a significant fact
that In most states the pool has been
a success, but most inconsistently for
get to mention the most significant,
. where they are enforcing the con-
tract and is getting the wheat! You
further write about cooperation of
! which l believe you know but very lit
tie and care lesst and about Bonds
for S12,5O0 and link my name with
it. The sO-called bonds were bought
before was elected Director and
you refer to the resolution passed
with reference to delivery of wheat
and allow me TO sbate-there is no
joker in that resolution, and none
was intended by the Directors, any
soft soap outside of the resolution
must stand and fall on its own ac-
count, not mine!
The fact remains that according "a
the hate auditing of the M. w. G.
: Assn. the association is in good
i financial standing, disregarding what
F mistakes made have been made, anC
is directed by ten good cOnscientiOu.
men and the undersigned all wheat
o growers, all believing in the pOOl-sys
: tenn and all delivering their wheat ans
g. the same. And in conclusion let m,
i say that while know that it is non,
of the Producers News business wira
F. do with my wheat or what Othe
! things ] may do, if you and you
n many readers are interested to lzn6v
q you will not have to guess or rel,
4 on lying reports and rumOrs, jus
= call me on the phone, or send me
! questionable of what you may wisl
TO knew and / shall be glad at an,
- and all fines to let you know wha

Yours truly
