MONTANA WHEAT EXPORT PLAN
is EXPLAINED BY mi. L. WILSON

Bankers, merchants and farmers o.
Montana and northwestern states are
uniting in a movement to bring about
the creation of a government export
corporation to handle surplus agri-
cultural products which promises the
best results of any proposal yet made
to bring relief to the farmer accord
ing to Mr.. M. l.. Wilson, extension
economist at Montana State college.
In speaking of the plan and de-
scribing its operation Mr.. Wilson
says:
"There is underway in this country
at the present time a movement to
correct the price difference that ex-
lists between certain farm products
and the price level of manufactured
products and city wages. Taking
wheat as an example, the price of
wheat on the Chicago is approximate
ly $1.10, which is about the same as
the five year average price %1909-13.
Thus if the five year average previ-
GUS to the war is taken as 100 per
cent, then the present price on wheat
is still approximately 100 per cent.
On the other hand if this same sys-
tenn of figuring is applied to manu-
featured commodities, the price level
for the five year period before the
stands at 100 per cent but the
price level at the present time stands
at around $50 per cent. A difference
of approximately 60 per cent in favor
of manufactured commodities as COM
pared to wheat at the present time.
Regardless of what other difficult
ties the farmers may have, essential
ly, the difference in price level is the
one basic cause of the present agri-
cultural depression. Not that all
products are suffering in this
way, for wool and cotton, for example,
are we'll up on a level with manufac-
.ured goods, but beef cattle, wheat
and hogs are down, and to this can be
traced the economic distress in the
belt, western and northwestern
where wheat, hogs and cattle
ire the chief crops.
TO correct the difference in price
evel it has been proposed to provide
he same tariff protection for the
armer as now exists for the manu-
acturer and labor. PROFESSIONALLY, {
he present price level of manufac-
ured commodities is maintained by {
he protective tariff and unquestion-
IDLY, labor also receives it's share of {
protection from this source and from !
he immigration restriction laws. I
"It may be urged that wheat al {
'eady has a 80 cent tariff and that t
his should be sufficient. The truth s
the matter is that the 80 cent tar t

thern and northeastern counties,
where the crop was a disappointment
this year, and where surplus rye has
been marketed at very discouraging
prices the past three years. Corn is
replacing rye to some extent as a
feed crop. The condition of rye is
"a, compared 20 81 last year, and to
84.7, the 10-year average on Deem
Der l.. 1t has been too dry in some
of the northern counties for rye to
terminate we'll and make good
growth this fall. In other sections,
is reported to be in fairly satisfac-
tory condition.
In the United States A ,191,0O0
acres were seeded to winter wheat
this fall, which is 1875 per cent less
than the 45,950,000 acres seeded in
the fall of 1922. The condition of
the crop is S8 as against 1915 last
year, and the 10-year average of
86.5. The rye acreage this fall is
$4,000, which is 15.1 per cent less
than was seeded last year. The con-
1ition of rye on December 1 was 500,
which is the 10-year average, and
compares to S4.3 a year ago.

f iff does not operate under presen
/, conditions because of the exportabl
wheat surplus which must be sold OF
the world market. Because of thii
surplus the world price is also thu
domestic price. In other words the
200, 100000 bushels which this coun,
try exports, sets the price for the en-.
tire 500, 000,O 900 bushels raised.
1.-THE problem then is to provide
the necessary conditions which will
make the tariff operate to protect the
farmer. 1t is proposed to do this by
creating a government export corpo-
ration which will buy, or stand ready
to buy, all of the exportable wheat
at a figure on a par with the price
level of all commodities and labor.
The tariff on wheat is to be raised
at the same time to a point necessary
to keep out foreign wheat. If the
plan were in successful operation at
the present time it would mean add
ing about SO cents to the present
price of wheat. The plan is expected
to operate in the same way with any
other agricultural product of which
there is an exportable surplus.
cit can be seen that there must
be some loss connected with this bust
ness for the 200, 600, 900 bushels of
exportable wheat will have to be pur-
chased at say SLIGO per bushel and
sold on the world market which at
the present time is approximately
S1.10. This means a loss of SO cents
a bushel on 200,00O,OO0 or about
800, 900, 900 in the transaction. Now
then it is proposed to place a levy up
on all wheat raised in this country to
take care of the export deficit. At
the present time it would mean a levy
of about 12.5 cents a bushel on $780,
100000 bushels to make up the re-
amount. This levy would be
collected at the elevator and would
require much the same machinery as
IS now used to collect the luxury tax
on moving picture shows. Thus by
1875 cents on the bushel the
price would be raised from s1.1O to
S1.60, and with the levy deducted it
would mean a net increase of 37.5
on each bushel of wheat. The
used are arbitrary of course
put they approximate the actual con-
"The entire plan is designed to
the depression which started in
1920 and which historyteaches, will
continue in this postwar period with
possibilities of far more disastrous
than have so far been expert
enced. The proposal is merely an at
.empt to bridge-over the impending !
gap; to ward off further losses, fur s
her hardships and further distress. !

MONTANA WHEAT OFFICIALLY
PROCLAIMED BEST lN WORLD

ONTANA has a higher per

wheat grading No. l than
any other state of the Union; Mon
tana's fancy wheat commands a
higher premium on the Minnea-

higher percentage of prizes in the
Chicago International show in the
past few years than any other
American state.
This, in brief, is the summary of
an address made by Professor
Mckee of Montana state col
lege before the Bozeman Kiwanis
club recently. 1t was a statement
of facts and figures that called
forth a flood of comment and a I'M
animous demand for publication of

Although all states of the Union
as well as Canadian provinces, are
eligible for competition in the big
Chicago show, Montana in 1919
won 25.z per cent of the premium
money in the classes in which Mon
tana products were shown. In
1920 Montana won 22.4 per cent of
the money in her classes, 26.3 per
cent in 1921, POI per cent in 1922
and 23.5 per cent in 1928. In those
five years the state of Montana has
won the cup for the worlds best
peck of wheat, the worlds durum
trophy for the best peck of durum
wheat, and first place in most of
the classes entered in one year or
another. Montana has won more
prizes in small grains than has any
other state of the Union.
In the past three years IA per
cent of Montana's hard red spring
wheat has graded No. l. The near
est state record to this is 1914 per
cent. Of this Montana wheat 1873
per cent has averaged O. pounds or
more in weight.
Montana has a climate and soil
favorable to the production of
grain of exceptionally high quality,
said Professor Mckee. Added to
is a class of farmers who have
learned to select and prepare high
samples of their best grains.
A. J. Ogaard, extension agrono-
mist at the State college, and who
is in charge of the exhibits that 90

showing in 1928 was a noticeable
