Canadian Farmers Pool Sells
I9O,OOO,OOO Bushels Wheat

WINNIPEG - (FP) - Canadian
wheat pool farmers have closed an
other banner season during which
the Central Selling agency disposed
of 19O,OOO,OOO bushels Of W heat.
The last dividend on the 1925 crop,
which has just been paid, tOtaled
$8,5OO,OOO or 2H per bushen.
Wheat pool members thus receiv-
ed for the 1925 crop an initial pay-
ment Of 81, two additional payments
of Zoe each per busheI and the fin
al payment making a total for No.
l wheat of S1.42H per bushel. This
is considered by the farmers an ex-
cellent return as the 1925 crop was
large one.
During the three years of their
existence the wheat pools have han
dlC1: 1928 crop, 34,00O,OOO bushels
(the Alberta pool aIOne); 1924 crop,
81,500,00O bushels (Alberta Sas-
katchewan and ManitOba), and 19O,-
O00,000 bushels OF the 1925 crOp
for the three provinces, or more
than double the quantity handled
In the previous year. Membership
in the pools has increased from
1900 in July 1924 to 1920 men,
bers in July 1926.
Last year the pools inaugurated
the policy Of securing elevators by
the simple process of deducting &c
per bushel on all grain handled for
elevator purpOs es. This elevator
fund has been used to secure 80
local elevators in Manitoba, S3 ele,-
vatOrs in Alberta and SIS in Sas-
katchewan, or a total of 638 for the
three pools. These elevators, like
the other property of the pools, is
paid for in cash; hence there are
no bonds or mortgages.
In addition to the local elevators,
he pools have terminal elevator
facilities for handling 2O,OOO,OOO
bushels Of wheat at a time. With
the small enlargement of these ter
minal facilities and a quick turnover
the pools will be able to handle
their entire product.
In the development of cO-Opera-
tive marketing of grain, the Cana
dians are beating the world.

GORDON CAMPBELL
Is READY TO BEGIN
HIS PRISON TERM

Special to Producers News.
Great Falls, November 16.-GOr-
don Campbell of Great Falls will
surrender to the deputy U. S. mar
shal at Great Falls today to begin
serving his sentence, according to
word received here by u. S. Marshal
John {. Orrick from Campbell's at
tOrney.
Campbell was sentenced to pay a
fine of $4,000 and serve two years in
prison following his conviction on
charges of using the mails to de-
fraud. The actio involved an oil
promoter scheme whereby part of
money raised under cooperative
plan for development of some Mon
tana properties was used for adver-
tising. This, the federal court held,
was unlawful under the terms of the
cooperative agreement. The Mon
tana federal district court was sus-
tanned by the United States court of
appeals and the supreme court of the
United States declined to interfere.

Still Blooming
In Sheridan County

To find mayflowers on ones ranch
in the middle of November is rather
a freak Of nature in the northeastern
part of Montana where there has been
winter since almost the first of Sep
tember, but Mr.. Geo. Mildly of Mid
by, can show that even such things
can happen. He brought two may
flowers or crocuses to the Producers
News to prove his statements, and
said he was going to name his place
Mayflower R an h to commemorate
the event. In an endeavor to explain
this oddity Mr.. Mildly said "Well, you
see the soil is so rich in this part of
Montana, that the flowers cannot
wait until their proper time to grow,
but have to blossom all the year
round, trying to get all they can out
of it."

SOlOns to Add Pay.
For the two-year period, ending
June 30, 1929, the board approves ex-
penditures totalling S6,656,627. To
this amount the legislature must add
whatever it needs for its own opera
ton which last session, cost about
$4,000.
With a few classes of expenditures
the board is not required to deal. No
appropriation is required for distri-
button of the state school income,
which last biennium totalled about
$3OO,OOO.
Interest on the state debt, estimat-
ed at $335,000 for the coming bien-
MUM, and payments from the educa-
tional bond fund, of which 1898, ,103
was unspent on June 80, 1926, do not
require appropriations.
Profit Not Included.
Under a system adopted by the
1926 legislature earnings of depart
ments and institutions are not in
cluded IN appropriations. The budget
bills carried the note that the apprO-
priations were in addition to all in
come from permanent funds and en-
dowmets and from land grants, fees
and earnings, requiring that these
incomes be spent before the approprl-
alton from the general fund should
become effective.
Receipts from the United States
government for cooperative projects
amounted during the last biennium
to 100000.
LOp Nearly Two Million.
The amounts recommended by the
board represent a cut of $1,927, 1926

ments and Institutions. The total al

Order Signed By Galloway
The order was signed by Chief
Justice L. L. Galloway in response to
a petition filed by Howard NJ. Lewis
Of PlentywoOd, and Maum and Mar
ford Of Poplar, attorneys for the de-
fendant, in which it was set out that
Schlapsz has no funds or property
of any kind out Of which to defray
the expenses Of appeal, and particu-
larly the printing Of the brief.
They show that his defense in the
district court was made by attorneys
appointed by the court for that pur-
pose and at the expense of the prose-
cution, and that Schlapsz was not
even able to defray the expense of
the transcript on appeal. 1t is furth-
er stated that his friends and rela-
tives have agreed to pay the ex-
penses of his attorneys on the ap-
peal, but they have been wholly un-
able to raise any money; that his at

appeal and perform the necessary Ia
Dor upon the agreement Of the
friends and relatives that they will
raise the necessary funds in the
course Of time, and probably partly
thereof from the proceeds of their
crops of 1926, and the balance from
their crops of 1927, but they have
been delayed by storms in the har-
