Farmer Bodies
Attempting to
Aggree on Bill

Washington, Nov. IS. An effort
by three major farm organizations,
the American Farm Bureau fedeT
alton, the National Grange and the
Farmers Union TO reach an agree
ment on farm relief legislation was
under way today behind closed
doors at the office of be National
Grange.
Ii was divulged beforehand what
manner of compromise was being
sought to unite the groups, but
spokesmen promised a statement
later explaining progress of the
parley.
The National Grange has sponsor
ed socalled debeuture plan of farm
relief while American Farm Bureau
fe@elation ana the Farmers Union
have been PARTISAN Ia the McNdry-
Haugen bill.
There have been reports that the
most likely compromise would in

have been denied by Representatives S

clare d that that organization expects

bill in spite OF President Coolidge's
disapproval
Successive visits to The White
House by c. S. Barrett, president
of the Farmers Union and one of
the farm leaders who is close to Mr.

Barrett declined to discuss his visits
and the deliberations of the farm
meeting expect to say that ne saw
no reason why the president would

'lln6y' Urges Flowing
Snow Off Highways

Havre business men are urging
that the commissioners of Hill county
purchase rotary snow pows so that
highways in the county can be kept
open during the winter months, ac-
cordiDe to R. G. Lineba.eer, editor
of the Havre News-Promoter. who
was here Saturday to attend meet
ing of the executive committee OF
the Montana State Press associa-
ton.
A real economic need exists for
keeping the roads traversable dur
ing the winter. Mr.. Linebareer said.
1t is estimated that Havre business
loses hundreds Of thousands of dol
lars in trade during the snow sea
son because farmers cannot get to
town. Likewise, city people are
unable to make much use of their
cars, when, if snow plows were
employed, motor travel would be
feasible except during storms.
AS first step toward keeping
the roads open the county has OBJ.
tanned q carload of snow fence. which
has been erected at points where
drifting is bad. AS drifting is the
main difficulty in winter in Hill
county, the rotary plow, capable of
cutting through any kind of snow
obstruction, is the real soution. Mr..
Linebareer believes. A type of ro-
tary plow can be obtained which,
will operate at speed from | mile
to Is miles an hour, depending on
conditions.
Keeping the roads open is real
necessity" the Havre editor COM
mented. We build roads and spend
much money on them, only to find
that during the winter they are of
little use to the farmers, who are
the people who need them most. a
storm comes, the snow drifts and
the roads are impossible. That
means some degree of isolation for
the farmers. They have no roads
when they need them. The mai!
carrier beats path between the
farm and the mail order house.
Local merchants suffer.
in four hours with q rotary pillow
Hill county could open the road from
Havre to the Canadian line. 1t is
easy to see what it would mean to
keep the roads east and west, north
and sourh in condition to trave
Eventually the problem will be at
tackled on "a large scale in Montana.
The additional revenue from the
gasoline tax because of the more ex-
tensive use of automobiles during
the winter will justify the expense
OF buying and operating snow phows.
If the roads are open during the
winter the farmers will be able to
get started at their work early 10
the spring. There will be no need
to wait until the drifts melt. Also,
if the plows are used, the roads will
dry up early in the season. and this
will be an advantage to everybody.
''Other states where snow is q
problem have tackled this matter
and are making much progress, and
they are finding that it pays them.
Minnesota is all example. We are
coming to it 10 Montana"

County Agent Notes

Geo. w. Points of Redstone sold

gagged in the production of regis
tered and approved seed for the last

LANCER of Mckee LANCER Co., Dur-
chased the seed for bis brother al
Casselton. Several other orders for
car lots have been received at the
county agents Office during the past
few weeks. This shows that the
crop Standardization program which
has been in operation in Sheridan
county for the last few years is be
ins recognized by grain growers in
North Dakota. Through the adop-
tion of approved and pure varieties
of seed, yields have been increased
rom one TO twelve bushels per
acre. The prize that Mr.. Points
received for his car of pure seed is
not known, but it is expected that
it @as considerable more than mar
ket price.

Mr.. Jacques Announces
Fox Hunt bv Moonlight

Mr.. Lancelot Jacques of Catoctin
Manor, will entertain at a fox hunt
at his place near Frederick, Md, to-
morrow evening. A group from Wash
ington is going sup to participate in
the hunt.
Fox hunting by moonlight promises
to become one of the "debbies" favorite
sports this Fall. Mr.. Jacques intro
|duced the young folk TO the sport a few
weeks ago and is keeping the ball
rolling. The hunts are not staged
according to the accepted idea of fox
hunting. To hunt after the Mary
land style, the hunters ride or drive
with the dogs to a spot nearby where
a fox has been started. Turning loose
the pack the hunters remain in a good
central location, hardening to the bay
of the dogs and specializing which
and whose dog is ahead.
The Catoctin pack is famous. The
manor house was built in 1870 and the
proprietor, the first Lancelot jacques,
was boon companion Of Gen. Wash
ington. The Father of His Country
hunted over the Catoctin Mountains
with the first Lancelot. no doubt at the
heels of ancestors of the present pack
Of hounds.

the present lord of the manor, is presi-
