FAyORs MOVING INSURANCE
OFFICE

January IL, 1877
EDITOR MIDLAND JOURNAL,
Dear Sir:-As an interested policy
holder in the Farmers & Mechanics
Mutual Insurance Association. OF
Cecil County, / beg to call your
| attention to your town as suitable
place for the Office Of the Secretary
and Treasurer for the conduct OF its
affairs.
The late President, Robt. T. Cam
eron, remarked to the writer the
office should be near banks and the
post office. In addition Rising Sun
Non the State Highway is easily ac-
Sessible to the best improved part OF
Cecil county where expensive farm
buildings carry the bulk of the in
surance in the company.
The writer is familiar with the
history OF the company for the last
fifty years, and is impressed by the
changed condition from the begin
ming by representative farmers in a
small way.
It's business has now grown to
large proportions, and to be con-
tinued as farmers company, the
large public had at Rising Sun would
accomodate the members or policy
holders of the Mutual Association,
who are the final resort to keep 1t
as Farmers Company, out OF the
hands OF INSCRIPTIONS politicians.
The mutual benefits to be derived
should be ample protection from fire
losses at low cost, to be secured by
careful and economical management.
Representative farmers in large
numbers who are members OF this
Association are drawn to Rising Sun
on other business, and the town is
we'll removed from the County Seat
and political influence.

SEED MEN MEET AT
SIDNEY SHOW
(From the Montana state College)

Fed dealers and seed growers
- are rubbing elbows this week at
~ the Montana Corn and Utility
Seed show at Sidney. bringing to-
gether the two groups that are the
prime factors in the improvement of
Montana's crops. A special program
has been arranged in which the
growers, the dealers and the leaders
in crop improvement work at Mon
tana State college will take up the
problems of seed Standardization, the
need of certification, laws against
misrepresentation of seed, produc-
ton and marketing.
A. j. Ogaard, agronomist for the Mon
tana Extension Service and manager of the
Utility Seed Show Is in charge of the pro-
gram. He Will discuss the Montana plan
for crop Standardization. the certification
and grading of alfalfa seed and plans for
weed control. Prof. Clyde Mckee, head of
the agronomy department at Montana State
college, Is on the program to discuss vari-
cites best adapted to Montana conditions
and present laws dealing with weed control
A.. ii. Bowman, commissioner Of agriculture
will explain the methods used by his office
for verifying the origin of alfalfa seed and
will discuss the problems brought up by
the presence of sweet clover and d0dder
in alfalfa seed.
Marketing matters will be considered by
r. s. Mutt of Sidney, Carter Smell Of Miles
City and Nelson Graves of Helena. Progress
In crop improvement will be presented by
III. +. DePue, county agent of Richland

and that the producer, dealer and consumer
may get a more workable understanding OF
the efforts being made to improve crops in
the state.

1927 AUTO TAGS
EAGERLY SOUGHT
WARDEN MAKES SURE THE 1925
FEES ARE PAID, HOW
EVER
More 1925 Licenses Paid During the
First 10 Days of January than
We're Sold During November and
December; Tags Going Fast

More 1926 automobile license fees
were collected by the motor vehicle
registration bureau during the first Is
days of January than were collected
during last November and December,
Warden Austin B. Middleton, the regis
trar, has found.
Few automobile owners are aware, he
finds, that a license for the current year
is not issued IL the application shows any
fees due for the preceding year. If the
vehicle was bought last fall and the rec
ords do not show that a license was Sc
cured for 1926, the applicant is informed
that he must purchase the half-year Ii
cense for 1926, before the 1927 plate will
be issued.
Approximately 10000 licenses for 1927
have been issued already by the bureau.
Applications are received at the rate of
800 or 900 daily and are being promptly
filled. Judging from experience, the peak
will be reached in March.
Last year, during March slightly more
than 10000 applications for license plates
were received and filed. 1t, is anticipated
that this record will be equalled at least
this year and the probability Is that 1t
will be surpassed.
1t was just a year ago January 10 that
the bureau began to function at Deer
Lodge and during the succeeding months
of 1926 more than 100000 licenses were
issued-a gain of more than 1900 over
the preceding year.
At the rate applications are now being

WOULDRE-FOREST
CUT-OVER LANDS

A resolution favoring the purchase by
the state of cut-over lands in Montana
at $3.50 per acre has been prepared by
the Kalispell club and submitted to the
other clubs Of the state and to the
legislature.
The resolution came as the result Of a
talk on the cut-over lands problem made
at a Kiwanis luncheon by L. G. Horribly,
supervisor of the Flathead National for
estry and fire protection committee.
Mr.. Horribly commended that under state
ownership the cut-over lands could be sub
mitted to reforestation and given over to
grazing, and would thus become pro-
ductive, whereas now they are worth
nothing. He asked that the matter be re-
ferred to the other clubs Of the state and
to the state legislature. L.. l.. Davis, also a
member of the committee, gave further
support to the proposition.
After hearing these talks the club en-
dorsed the matter enthusiastically and the
committee was asked to prepare a resolu-
ton to be sent to the other clubs in the
state and to the legislature.
A bill prepared by Judge c. w. Pomeroy
to be brought before the senate by Senator
Pauline, for the purpose of authorizing
communities to purchase aeroplane landing
fields was endorsed by the club also.

(From the Montana State CoIlege)

TIME population of the import
ant surplus producing states
west of the Mississippi river,
not including California, is approx
mately six millions, the population
of the great consuming area, the
northeastern states. is approximate
ly 35 millions. The people in the
consuming area outnumber those in
the producing area almost six to one
BY weight of sheer majority the con-
sumner has become the dictator. In
this manner. j. X. Wallace, live
stock marketing specialist of the
United States Department OF Agri-
culture, brought home to livestock
producers Of Montana attending the
Farm and Home Week at Montana
State college early this month, the
Importance of consumer demand in
successful livestock production.
The producer no longer can think in
terms of himself, raising stock to meet his
own fancies and expecting the public to
take what Is left after his own needs have
been satisfied" said Mr.. Wallace. TIL take
1T or leave 1t" attitude Is no longer good
business. The shift Of population to indus
~ 80 Il ~ IN
competition In production, the changes in
standards Of living and habits OF living
must b ewatched and weighed by livestock
producers and adjustments In production
made accordingly, he added.
To illustrate the change that has taken
place, Mr.. Wallace pointed out that in 1890.
approximately 55 per cent of the population
of the United States were In the country.
With the producers in the majority the
consumer had little to say, taking the sur
plus from farm and ranch without ques-
ton. In 1920, the. census showed that but
81 per cent of the population were In the
country. The balance has shifted. The con-
sumer now says what he wants and the
producer must listen.
Deos It pay the meat producer to heed
the demand of the consumer In answer
to this Mr.. Wallace said that in 1910 the
country was $50 pounds of which 81 pounds
were beef and 80 pounds, other meats. In
1925 after the wartime slump In meat con-
sumption, the meat-eating public again
averaged $50 pounds per capita, of which
lit pounds were other meats and only 60
pounds were beef. The producers OF lamb
and pork had adjusted their enterprises to
the changing demands. Hogs and sheep
reach maturity rapidly and lend them
selves readily to changes In production
standards. Not so in beef production. said
Mr.. Wallace. Too many cattle men insisted
on giving the meat eater large steaks when
they wanted small ones, older and tougher
meat when they wanted 1t juicy and tender.
Consequently the annual per capita beef
consumption dropped from 81 pounds to 63
pounds. In 1910, beef furnished As per cent
of the meat eaten, Is years later only 30
per cent of the meat consumed was beef.
II the per capita consumption of beef had
remained the same in 1925 as in 1910 Ii
would have created n market for approx
lmately 2,000,0 900 additional beef cattle an
nually.
