GREEKS GET LONG
A w AITED LOAN

Washington Up By vote Of
ITO to 1915 the house on Dec. 10 adopt
ed an administration plan for refund
ing at "a cents on the dollar the $19.-
100000 war debt of Greece to the
United States. At the same time it
approved the proposed loan of $12,-
100000 cash to the Greek government
promised in February 1918 as part of
a deal whereby Greek soldiers to the
number of 100000 were sent into the
var against Bulgaria. At that tine
the United States, Great Britain and
France agreed to put up 100000 gold
francs each, to cover loans which the
Bank of Greece made to equip this
Greek army. The So, 100000 is the
part of the American share which
never was paid 70 Greece.
Now it is to BE used to plant agri-
cultural refugees from Turkey on the
soil of Greece or to substitute new in
dustries if the senate ratifies the
scheme.

WOULD MAKE WHEAT
STRAW INTO PAPER

Senator Thos. d. Schall of Mime
sofa introduced a bill in the Senate
last week, which if it becomes a law,
will mean a lot to Montana and Min
nesota and in fact the whole North
west in the way of getting profits for
farmers out of waste products, as well
as opening up a new industry.
Blair Coan, a Washington newspa-
per man, has been writing a series of
articles on utilization of Farm
Wastes" for 100 newspapers and mag
azines in which he pointed out that
newsprint paper can be made from
corn stalks and straw, and potatoes
can be profitably converted into alec,
hol. A number of other products can
be made from waste the total value
being put at a billion and a half dol
lars a year.
Senator SchalT got in touch with
the author of these articles and got
a fuller report on such matters from
him, and then introduced the bill
mentioned above, which provides for
the establishment of a demonstrating
plant, for the manufacture of flax
and wheat straw pulp and paper to
be located in Minnesota, and a demon
strating plant for the manufacture of
potato alcohol, also to be located in
this state. Similar plants to utilize
rice straw, sugar cane and peanut
shells are to be located in Arkansas
Louisiana and Georgia, and plant

ed in Iowa. There the gifts were sold
for $40 and $50 on a buy back con-
tract at $25. The result has ALWAYS
been the same. While the concerns
peddling this stock may operate under
different names the names of those
putting it over usually lead to the
same parties.
The fact that this scheme has work.
ed in almost every farming state in
the union and the operators continue
to get by with it only proves that
Barnum's old adage was right.
However, warns County Agent
Smith, when the salesman in question
calls on you, Mr.. Farmer, just inform
him that you do not care to demon
strate Mr.. Barnum's theory.
There are many breeders of pure
bred stock in the west who have gifts
and sires for sale and who do sell
them on a straight businesslike basis
Stock that does not bring a better
price for breeding purposes is worth
only what it brings as pork. No com.
pany can create and maintain artifi.
cial prices for a product which every
farmer can produce at about the same
cost.
County Agent Smith is sending out
circulars to all farmers on the Com
mercial Swine scheme but this paper
learns that a few farmers have al
ready been roped in on the plan by
the high-powered salesman just enter
ing the district.

BEWARE OF HOG
SELLING SCHE M <

Scobey.-County Agent Smith has
requested the local newspaper to in
form the farmers of a smooth scheme
now being employed by commercial
swine company in this state. The
Montana Farmer, the Washington
Farmer, as we'll as other publications,
whcih have witnessed the same opera
tions in their states, also give some
valuable information on this subject
to the unwary farmer.
1t appears that the scheme is to
sell the farmer one or more gifts at
$95 each, the company contracting to
buy back gifts that come up to their
standards at $35 each.
Some farmers have made such deals
and been satisfied with the result.
However, the company will buy those
gifts back at $35 each only as long
as the $95 gilt market is good-which
is never very long.
There is a limited field for such
sales and then the loophole in the con-
tract opens as wide as barn door
They will not buy any more gifts at
s25s oaoh because none of the gifts
will be up to their standards. They
are the sole JUICES. Their contract
is no better than their word and their
word is no better than their scheme
The farmer is left holding the sack
regardless of the outcome. The gifts
sold by one farmer for $35 must be
sold to another at sos or the first
farmer cannot sell his.
Farmers of Kansas and Nebraska.
lost thousands of dollars in similar
schemes. Sometimes they paid as
high at $3.50 for gifts, sometimes less
but always five or six times as much
as the animals were worth.
Back in 1924 the scheme was work

WARNS AGAINST STOP
PING MATERNITY RELIEF

Washington Up Showing that
the infant death rate in the United
States has been greatly reduced since
the Maternity and Infancy Act was
passed by congress, the report of Miss
Grace Abbott, chief of the Children's
Welfare Bureau, warns that only a
beginning has been made in relieving
the need for prenatal care and after
care o fmothers who are in the work
ing class of the nation.
Certainly in this field no more
than beginning has been made" she
declares. "To stop now would be to
lose the harvest. There are no deaths
more tragic than those of women in
child birth. American men and wo-
men will certainly want to leave no.
thing undone that will make mother
hood less hazardous"
The law under which federal funds
are matched with state funds in As
states and Hawaii, to promote the
health of mothers and babies, comes
to an end June 80 next unless congress
shall extend its operation. Bitter OPP
position to the law has come from an
ti-union elements, states rights poll.
ticians and reactionaries in general
Sen. Reed of Missouri has been con.
spicuous in opposing it.
Miss Abbott's report indicates a de-
crease in the infant death rate Of
from 0.9%6 to 31.8% in the various
states where this federal and state
cooperation in care for mothers wa'
provided.
New Zealand still has the worlds
lowest death rate for babies-39 il
1000. Oregon has a rate of AZ. Idaht
and Washington state so and the av
erage for America is 65 for 1927 al
compared with 73 for 1926.

for the manufacture of strawboard in
California, for handling cornstalks in
Indiana, and wheat straw in Kansas.
Each of these plants would have an
appropriation of $1,000,000.
The bill states that the U. S. Blu
reau of Standards has developed
chemical processes which will trans
form such farm waste into profits for
the farmer, but the processes have
not been demonstrated on a CONNER
cial scale, and the large sums requir-
ed for such demonstration will not be
furnished by private investors until
the processes are shown to be prac-
teal, so the government should furn-
ish the money to establish such de-
monstration plants in various states,
and the plants are to be sold later
to private investors.
This appears to be a worthy pro-
ject and one that is well worth try
ing cut, but it will be opposed, no
doubt, by the paper trust which now
controls that sort of product, making
it from wood pulp and there is not
much chance Of the bill becoming q
law and the experiment being tried
unless the f farmers and their organi-
cations get behind it.-Park Region
