Mr.. P. J. Wallace,
PlentywoOd, Mont.
Dear Sir:
A correspondent in Minnesota
writes of receiving very interest
ing paper, The Producers News, and
she encloses a copy of The Western
Progressive Farmer, January &c,
1926, in which l find several refer
.ences to you and the Producers News.
notice a statement on first page
of the w. P. Farmer, bottom second
column, referring to meetings in Mon
tana (report is reprint from Produc-
ers News) as follows: "The organiza-
ton, whose membership is based on
the family springs from the people
themselves and will be controlled in
the last analysis by the membership.
Basing membership on the family
interests me greatly and I am enclos-
ing one of my articles for which you
may care to find space in the Produc-
ers News.
For many years | have been much
interested in cooperation and in farm
organization work. In 1917 / was as
sistant to Mr. Richard Pattee, sec.
retary-manager of the New England
Milk Producers Association, anC
from August, 1917 to November, 1918
editor eff the official organ, The New
England Dairyman.
While / have retained membership
in the Grange | have little sympathy
with the policies pursued. In Florida
in 1913 l was a member of the
Farmers Union IF. E. & G. W car
rying my membership for 2 or
years after my return to Massachu
sets. When I tell you that l have
been for 20 years a member of the
Socialist party, at one time National
organizer, and in 1919-'20l21, State
Secretary in Massachusetts YOU will
realize that I'm net a typical eastern
Grange member.
Will you please send me copies Oh
your paper and any literature descrip.
tive Of the present progressive move
ment. am sending articles to q
number of farm and labor papers
throughout the county. enclose q
copy of Sew. Cit. in which I have
expressed myself in manifesto
and statement of purpose as well
as in articles. Awaiting an early
reply, / am,
Yours very truly,

price, which closed March Goth at
$1.35 ga. Italy and Germany got
some durum wheat at the seaboard
where stock of amber durum were
reported to be cleaned up.
Continued dullness in the flour
trade, together with excellent crop
prospects in the southwest, limited
the milling demand for hard white
wheat and lowered premiums 1-2c per
bushel at Kansas City, where No.
hard winter wheat II per cent protein
was quoted at 8 1-2 to 9 cents over
the May price, II 1-2 per cent 9 lie
over and 13 per cent 10c over. Win
ter wheat prospects in Texas, Okla
homa, Kansas, Colorado and New
Mexico were reported excellent and
trade reports from Fort Worth indi-
cate that if conditions continue fav-
orable harvesting in Texas will start
during the last week Of May, or about
ten days to two weeks earlier than
usual. This prospect of an early
supply of new wheat was an addition
al weakening factor in the south
western markets, as was also the
heavier movement than was generally
expected considering the reported
light farm stocks.
The flax market was unsettled but
at the close of the market on FRIDAY
prices had advanced about 2 1-2 cents
for the week. Receipts of fax al
Minneapolis were slightly larger
Choice seed was in good demand but
the lower grades were dull at times
Stocks at Duluth and Minneapolis i.
now total about 1,437,00O bushels
Commercial stocks in Argentina wer,
reported at 100000 bushels. Ship
Iments from Argentina continued fair
ly heavy and were reportedy at s.,
100000 ushels. Shipments from Ar
gentina continued fairly heavy anC
were reported at 1,884,0OO bushels
making total from this crop o.
about 20,500,000 bushels.

DEMAND DE.
VELOPS IN GRAIN
MARKET

kinds of grain developed in the prin-
A better demand for practically all
kinds of grain developed in the prin-
cipal grain markets during the week
ending March 9th, according to the
Weekly Grain Market Review Of the
United States Department of Agri-
ulture.
Receipts were only moderate and
premiums for cash grains were adj
vanced / to 2 cents per bushel at
most of the principal markets. Euro
pean markets became frmer as the
political situation became more COM
posed and better demand developed
for wheat af1oat and for offerings of
export wheat from Argentine and
Canada. Australian and Argentine
shipments totaled nearly 4,500,000
bushels during the week and export
sales of North American wheat were
estimated at about 100000 bushels.
A feature of the export market dur
ing the week was the sale of a few
loads of new crop winter wheat for
the last half OF August shipment at
II Ia cents over the Chicago July
price f. o. b. the Gulf.
The demand for wheat in the do
mestlc markets was more active and
premiums were advanced 1-2c at most
OF the arger markets, except Mime
apolis and Kansas City. At Minneap-
oils the demand continued inactive
most Of the week and premiums were
slightly reduced, II per cent protein
Nc Dark Northern being quoted in
that market at the close of the week
at 8-11 cents over the May price,
Il IL per cent 10-13c over and 10 per
cent 11-14c over.
Premiums on Durum wheat were
also reduced as a result of shipments
from Duluth No. 1 Amber Durum,
selling at 5-20c over the Duluth May

WestfalI to Open Cabaret.
James Westfall has started work
on a cabaret in connection with his
candy and soft drink parlor in the
/ Walker Opera House building. He
plans to raise the floor of the old
Strand Theatre to a level with that
! in the section he already occupies, cut
Iarchways between and furnish the
place with tables, a piano and other
equipment for conducting a modern
cabaret. Mr.. Westfall is not pre-
pared to say just when the new es-
Establishment will be ready for business
but plans to have it going by early
summer at the latest. An orchestra
will play evenings several nights of
each week and Saturday and an cleo
trical piano will furnish music for
the diners to dance by the balance of
the time. If business warrants light
lunches will be served along with the
soft drinks and soda fountain dis
ipensaries.
Brown Charge Dismissed
VIM. Brown who was arrested in
February charged with the theft of
some tools from a Great Northern
tool house, recently was cleared of
the charge at a hearing before JUS
tice Fred Turner.
i 1t appears that the only thing
against Mr.. Brown was the possess
sion Of tool box which was Great
Northern property. The tools found
IN the box were also thought to be
railroad property, but it transpired
that the railroad was unable to iden-
tlfy any of these. Brown was also
able to prove beyond doubt that he
secured the tool box from other par-
ties so the case lacked any grounds.
The state asked for a postponement
OF the hearing, which was refused bv
Justice Turner, who dismissed the
charges following the states failure
70 produce any witnesses. Noun and
Morford defended.
Real 100 Per Centers Fined.
The justice business has been a
nCCle COO good during the past week
or ten days, says Justice Of the Peace
Fred Turner, in referring to the num-
Der who have been brought before
nm for sentence, mostly on charges
OF disturbing the peace.
March 10th Ben Gray Hawk paid
costs and was given a six months sus-
pended sentence on a charge of petty
larceny to which he plead guilty.
Kuld Spotted was the complainant.
March 18th Harry Redboy and Har-
ry Longtree were fined $40 and costs
for disturbing the peace. March 18th
A. Cleveland was fined SIS and costs
and Carl Walking Eagle $40 and costs
Tor disturbing the peace. Saturday,
Mafcn zOth, Dick Left Hand Thunder
was fined 500 and costs, also for dis
turbing the peace.
