SCHNITZLER'S WHEAT
CROP $4,000 BUSHELS


Butte. = State Senator J. w.
Schnitzler of Froid, recently was a
visitor in Butte and stated that he
had harvested a crop of $4,000 bush
els of spring wheat from 5000 acres
in Roosevelt county. The senator
further stated that the farmers of
Montana, this year, will earn more
than enough to pay every debt they
owe. Being of a modern turn Of
mind the senator uses a Ryan mono
plane to carry on his business and
takes trips to marketing
points, such as Minneapolis. Paradox
as it may be, he is frequently up in
the air, but manages to keep both
feet on the ground and next to Thorn
as D. Campbell produces the largest
wheat crop in the state.-Montana

The National Directory of the
progressive Farmers held its
quarterly meeting at the West
Hotel of Minneapolis, Mimi.
tuesday, Wednesday and Thurs
DAY of last week with P. ]. Wal
lace l nthe chair and the repre-
sentatlVes of ten states present.
After several important mat
ters of interest to the Organiza-
tIon were discussed and acted up-
on a statement was adOpted and
ordered given to the press. The
statement showed that, while the
Dig interests were cutting melons
and declaring dividends the bust
ness of farming was on the de-
cline. Tenantry was on the in
crease and system of feudaI
serfdom, now abolished in EuOrpe
was showing its head in the Unit
ed States. The McNary-Haugen
bill was endorsed as the minimum
of what the farmer should get
from the next term of congress.
The Power Combine
1t was declared that Power
Companies were sending slick
statesmen into the farming dis
tr1cts and unloading much wat
cred power stock. The object of
this seemed to be to get a large
number of rural stockholders
with the view of creating public
sentiment in favor of the power
companies so that the burden of
taxation should be shifted from
their shoulders TO the tiller of the
soil. The chairman was instruct
ed to make a report of the con-
ditiOn of the securities of said
Power companies and have same
printed in pamphlet form and
widely distributed.
The Merger
Another resolution was passed
stating that the Railroad Compa- !
ny officials were openly bOasting :
that the merger of the "Hil I
Lines" would go through and ask I
ing that the Interstate Commerce Z
Commission should be investigat- I
ed with a view of determining I
