COPPER CARBONATE METHOD
ENDORSED BY MANY FARMERS

The copper carbonate method Of
treating wheat for smut is being en-
dorsed by many farmers OF the state
according to A. J. Ogaard, extension
specialist in agronomy at Montana
State college. In tests carried ont in
Fallon county under the direction OF
J. 0. Hembre, county agent. conner
carbonate produced just little better
results than the older and more IA
miliar formaldehyde method. The
chief reason for using the conner car
Donate method, according to its advo-
Gates Is because 1t is quicker and a
little more easily handled. Manufac-
tured equipment can be bought for
treating wheat with copper carbonate
nut home made mixers are satisfae-
tory. An ordinary barrel, with three
oaffie boards made Of 2x4 placed in
SIDE, a piece OF pipe run through both
ends of the barrel and the ends Of the
pipe placed on two saw horses with
barrel suspended between. is. all the
equipment that is needed. A busheI
u grain requires two ounces Of stan
lard copper carbonate. The grain and
Upper carbonate SHOULD be placed in
he barrel and the barrel revolved nm
u grain Is thoroughly covered with
ne carbonate. It Is necessary to pro-
ect the nose and throat from the con-
Fl carbonate dust, because Il Is
.oisoaons and very Irritating. A wet
10th or handkerchief tied over the
lose and mouth Is effective.

The Declaration of Independence enunci-
ated a principle that every human being is
endowed with certain inalienable rights.
Among these are the right to life, liberty
and the pursuit of happiness. These rights
are today denied the great mass of people of
this country by a privileged class which thru
its economic and political power dominates
the life of the people of this nation.
This privileged class has, thru the Organi-
zation of trusts, thru interocking director
ates, thru the great banking institutions Of
Wall Street, concentrated control of the
economic life of the country in the hands OF
financial oligarchy with its headquarters
in Wall Street. 1t uses its power to amasS
great wealth for itself at the expense of the
happiness and well-being of the farmers and
industrial workers who are the producers of
the wealth of this country
In order to maintain its privileges and to
aid in its exploitation of the farmers and
industrial workers, this privileged class has
fastened its grip upon the government. 1t
uses the legislative, executive and judicial
branches of the government alike as instru-
ments in its service to secure greater and
greater profits and to amass greater and
greater wealth.
1t has used bribery and corruption to steal
from the people the natural resources of the
country.
Thru raids upon the public treasury dur
ing the war and in the settlement of war
contracts it has looted the people of humid
reds Of millions if not billions of dollars
The legislation passed by Congress is
cleverly designed to increase the profits of
the privileged class. 1t has driven millions
of farmers from the land thru its financial
manipulations.
1t uses the courts to strike down the in
dustrial workers who dare to carry on the
struggle for better wages and working con-
ditiOns
1t uses the police power and soldiers
against the same industrial workers who
seek to secure from industry the means in
wages sufficient for decent standard OF
living.
1t has created governmental wars which
have no other purpose than to keep the
workers in subsection and making impossible
the realization of their aspirations for a
higher standard of living
IL uses the supreme Court TO protect It's
prOpertied interests and its right to bring
process against the welfare of the millions
who produce wealth.
1t maintains a great army and navy fol
the purpose of protecting its investments in
foreign lands and coercing weaker govern
ments in the interests Of the Wall Street
financial oligarchy.
1t has not hesitated and will not hesitate
to throw this country into war and sacrifice
millions Of lives and millions of wealth in
order to protect its financial interests and
increase its opportunity to make profits.

HERE IS PARTY PLATFORM

In the face of these conditions, only one
road lies open for the industrial workers
and farmers to protect themselves from the
exploitation and oppression of the financial
and industrial lords who rule the country:
To organize political party representing the
interests of the industrial workers and farm
ers, and to enter into the political arena, to
wrest control of the government from the
hands of the financial and industrial masters
who now rule this country.
The Farmer-Labor Party frankly avOws
it's purpose to carry on such a struggle. 1t
declares openly that it is the Party repre-
senting the workers in the mines, mills, fac
tories, and workshops the workers upon
the land, and the working farmers. 1t de-
clares its purpose to take over the govern
ment in the interests of these groups, and
to use it to build social system which will
give them a higher standard of living and
which will have as it's first object their hap
piness and well-being.
The .Farmer-Labor Party declares as its
purpose to end the existing system of ex-
ploitatiOn and the rule of the privileged
class 1t calls upon all organizations of work
ers, whether in the industries or upon the
land, to make common cause with it; to join
it in the struggle to free the farmers and
industrial workers from the greedy exploit
tation of those who now rule the country
and win for themselves the right to Life,
liberty and happiness" thru the establish
ment of Workers and Farmers Govern
ment
A. PUBLIC OWNERSHIP
There can be no genuine Public Ownership
until the workers and farmers control the
Government. It is only to the extent that
there is a strong workers and farmers rep
resentation in the government, and only to
the extent that the control and operation Of
the nationalized industries is in the hands
Of the workers and farmers that any benefits
can be realized from naturalization of in
dustry The FaImer-Labor Party will carry
on a struggle to create these conditions and
for:
1. The naturalization of all monopolized
industries, such as railroads, mines, super
power plants and means of communication
and transportation
?. The organization of the workers in
these industries for participation in the
management and direction of the industries
nationalized, thus developing industrial de-
mocracy until industry comes under the con-
troll Of those who produce the wealth of the
nation, subject only to such control as will
protect the interests Of the producers as a
whole.
8. We demand the repeal of the Federal
Reserve and National Banking acts and in
place thereof declare for the government
ownership and operation of all banking in
stitutions at cost.
