MIDWEST FARMS
HIT HARDER Than
MONTANA'S, SAYS

HELENA.-'Montana farmers are
no worse off than farmers in other
sections of the Northwest as a result
of September weather." declared Jay
G. Diamond, agricultural statistician,
upon returning from st. Paul, where
he attended a conference of crop
statisticians of the spring wheat belt.
"The greater part of he southern
half of North Dakota, most of west
ern South Dakota and southern Min
nesota encountered dry weather that
in places was more damaging than
any IN southeastern Montana. The
good spots in these states, Judging
from reports, were not nearly so good
as the good sections in central, north
central, south central and western
Z Montana. While most of North Da-
kota's wheat crop was harvested be-
fore last weeks Freeze, a large part
Of the crop in the heavy producing
sections in northern North Dakota
north Of the Great Northern, is yet tc
be. threshed.
'The low temperatures damaged
corn that was not matured in The
northwest. In South Dakota where
it is expected about three-fourths Of
the crop was matured, the crop suf
fered earlier damage"

wheat MARKET
REPORTS DAILY
Montana Extension Service
Serving Farmers of State
Through Newspapers

Montana farmers are now getting
daily wheat market reports that apply
directly to the high quality grain
produced in this state through the
columns Of thei1 daily and weekly
newspapers. These reports are pre-
pared by the Montana Extension SER
vice directly from closing market re-
ports sent from Minneapolis by the
United States bureau of agricultural
economics and are sent to daily pa
perS through the Associated Press
and to weekly papers by mail and
telegraph. A number of weekly pa
pers are posting the daily reports on
bulletin boards so that farmers COM
ing to town with wheat can get first
hand information before selling.
The reports contain quotations on
Hard Spring and No. 1 and No.
Dark Northern of different protein
content. 1t is estimated that approx
imately 90 per cent of the spring
wheat produced in the state falls in
the grades and classes for which fig
ures are quoted. Reports are based
on each days closing future contract
prices at Minneapolis and the prem
iums paid in cash transactions during
the day.
The closing future contract price is
the important figure in Montana's
grain sales, J. C. Taylor, director OF
the Montana Extension service, ex.
plains, because it is this price which
determines the opening prices in Mon.
tana the following day. However, the
future price is on the grade No. ]
Northern, which is a lower grade thar
either Hard Spring or No. 1 DarI
Northern, and, therefore, in addition
to giving the base price the quota
tions give direct figures for thest
grades. Also, much of Monana'
wheat has high protein content anC
quotations are given for wheat rang
ing from II to more than IA per cen
protein, which is the premium range
By means Of these reports farmer
can arrive at the approximate pric
being paid for grain by subtractin,
handling costs and freight to Mime
apolis from the price quoted for hi
grade and quality of grain.

VOTERS ON LISTS
Total Is 1909 Over Number
Registered For Primaries,
But Less Than in 1924

HELENA-With all but six coun-
ties reporting registration of voters

There were 2O5,822 names register

Counties which have not reported
are, Beaverhead, Deer Lodge, Lake
Flathead, Glacier and Richland.
Gan increase in these counties
should it be shown, will not material

STATE OFFERED
PREMIUM ON Oil

HELENA.-Ten cents barrel
premium over the field price is Of
fered Montana for its oil, the land
board has been advised. Several in
quiries have been received regarding
the matter but the AFRO Oil and Re-
filming company at Lewistown has
made written offer.
Several wells on state lands are
producing and from two Of these the
state receives a considerable monthly
revenue for its permanent school
fund. However, there has been some
dispute as to whether the royalty
when paid in money shall be based on
the field price, which, in the instance
of the heaviest producers, represents
a considerable advance.
Whether the state may demand the
oil itself is not clear yet to the board
If it can demand the oil, under the
offer or others which may be re-
ceived, it can thus increase its re-
turns by the amount Of the n1eEaium

BUTTE.-The announced intention
of the Law Enforcement League here,
and Of prohibition organizations else
where in the state, to oppose the pro-
hibitiOn repeal referendum through a
campaign Of "four-minute" speeches
in church pulpits, has brought a sharp
criticism from G. c. Hinckley Of
Washington, D. c., national secretary
of the Association Against the Pro-
hibition Amendment, who has been in
Butte and Helena for some days past,
engaged in a survey of anti-prOhibi-
tion sentiment in this part Of the
country.
Montana, like most states, has a
law which exempts from taxation
churches and other premises which
are used exclusively for purposes of
religious worship" said Mr.. Hinck-
ley.
"Churches which open their pulpits
to the Law Enforcement league and
the Anti-Saloon league for the deliv-
cry Of political speeches therefrom,
are taxable under the statute like any
other premises. Such churches will
either pay taxes, or will be in the po-
sitiOn of viOlatOrs Of the law.

NATIONAL C. OF C.
Meets DEC. or

SAN FRANCISCO.-Paul Shoup,
western vice president of the, Cham
Der Of Commerce of the United
States, has announced plans for the
fourth western divisional meeting at
Colorado Springs December and Z.
Following activities of previous
western meetings, and in line with
the policy of the chamber, which is
anxious to assist in the adoption of a
constructive national farm program,
agriculture will have a prominent
place at the Colorado Springs meet
ing. Reclamation and western indus
trial development will also be dis
cussed.
Since the adoption of a decentral-
izatiOn plan by the national chamber
three years ago, western business
men have shown on increasing inter
-esU in these divisional meetings
Larger delegations of business men
from all over the division are expec-
ted this year, as well as many state
officials, while from the East vii
come President John W. G'Leary, Of.

ments, at Washington, and member:

DISTILLATE, Much USED ON FARMS, IS
TAX-EXEMPT IN new GOOD ROADS BILL

No more gasoline taxes will be
paid by farmers or others on distil-.
late or coal oil which is used in 80
per cent of Montana owned tractors
and farm engines if initiative good
roads bill No. 81 becomes a law af-
ter November 2, is the statement made
by officials of the Montana AutOmo-
bile association in an analysis of this
particular feature of the bill.
Exempts DistiIIate
The present law imposes a two cent
tax on all gasoline, and also on dis
tillate, and much favorable comment
has been heard that bill No. 81 elm
mates this objection on the part of
the farmers who operate tractors and
farm machinery using fuel other than
gasoline. Information from many
sections of Montana shows that coal
oil and distillate and not gasoline are
used in a large proportion of farm
machinery.
Roads that Montana farmers want
and need are intermediate and lateral
roads on which they can reach their
markets and trading places on every
day in the year. The best and quick
est way to get them, the statement
points out, is to get proposed bill No.
81 into the statute books, and let the
state take care of countys federal
roads, while the county builds its
farmer and feeder roads with its
regular road levies plus its motor IL
cense fees, which it will still keep un-
der the proposed measure as it does
now.
The new law will really create two
modes of financing state and county
roads. The state, or federal highways
will be built and maintained by the
&c.,. tax matched with federal aid and
borne by the automobile and tn
truck owners, exclusively, while the
farmer or county roads can be bull
by the motor license fees and regular
road levies, which are required by tht
state to be made.
Another Advantage
Another advantage to farmers i
bill No. 81 is carried is pointed ou
in the statement. The combined tw
revendts that would be availa lie fo
the county roads under the measure
that is, the motor license fee revenu
and the regular read levics, together
would about equal tie sum raised b
the gas tax matched with the ldera
aid
With the elimination of the tax o
distillate under the proposed measuI
farm motor equipment using disti
late CT coal oil would not be taxed q
all. Privately owned cars and trucks
heavy or light, would pay a gas ia
according to the mileage covered. A
out-Of-the-state cars would also pa
according to their use of the higI
ways. All car owners would cet va
Ue received in road construction an
maintenance, and no plan of road f
nancing could be more equitable q
just to all concerned.
Results Cf Adoption
Summarizing the results if IL
measure is carried, the statemel
concludes, the tax on distillatc iii
abolished and one cent added to IL
gas tax would include gasoline onl
the cost would fall on motor vehic
owners according to their use of Il
roads, counties would be at liberty
complete more feeder systems f
farmers and rural producers would
more lightly taxed with good roa
bill No. 81 in operation.
