lens have aroused great interest among
farmers and grain dealers with the pros
poets that protein content will be used
as a basis for sales to a greater extent
this year han ever before. advises E. j.
Bell, Jr., OF the department of agricul-
tural economies OF the Montana expert

the meetings. Mr.. Bell has made a three
year study of grain marketing in Mon

ranged by the Montana Extension serv-
ice for m and grain dealers, the re-
suits OF these studies were presented.
That grain dealers as we'll as farmers
are interested in the work being done to
develop grain marketing systems which
will give the proper recognition to pro-
tein content Of wheat is indicated by
action taken at a meeting Of grain deal
ers at Glacier national park in June. Mr.
Bell presented his observations and con-
illusions at this meeting with the result
that o committee of gram dealers was
appointed to work with state institutions
in drawing up a system of sampline
grain for protein testing which will be
generally recognized as a basis for grain
sales.
Farmers generally throughout the state
desire more information on markets anc
prices n particularly express a neeo
for daily quotations on premiums paid
for protein. In response to numerous
requests the Buttrey broadcasting station
at Hayre now issues such quotations daily
and many newspapers OF the state viii

GREAT NORTHERN
ADDING BOX CARS
VICE PRESIDENT c.. o jerks AN
NOUNCEs NEW EQUIPMENT FOR
DISTRIBUTION ON SYSTEM

More than 5000 grain cars and 500
stock cars are being added to Great
Northern equipment this year, accord
ing to c. o. jerks, vice president in
charge of operation, who, with Mrs.
jerks and their son, Downing jerks, is
at Glacier park.
With the new facilities the Great
Northern will be better equipped than
ever to handle the crops OF Montana n
It's general territory this year, Mr.. jerks
said. The company is now building 500
stock cars. the same number Of box cars
and is steel understanding $500 other
box cars which will be available for
grain shipments. Some Of the work is
being done In Great Falls shops, where
also several locomotives are benz rebuilt
in to larger and more powerful types.
The Great Northern has an extensive
construction program In Montana this
year. The Saco-Turner branch, which is
to be ready for hauling the 1923 crops,
is the major project. Rails Of 110-pound
weight are replacing lighter steel in the
eastern part of the state on the main
line. The steel from that section will
be placed between Great Falls and Sieben
on the Butte branch. This work is be-
ginning. The rails aiken from the Butte
line will be used on the Sacs-Turner
branch.
An additional brick platform is being
laid at the Great Falls passenger sta
ton. Also there is to be some changing
of the tracks.

MILLION TREES
LOST BY HAIL
GOVERNMENT FORESTRY NURSERY
AT HAUGEN IN WESTERN MON
TANA SUFFERS GREATLY
Damage Not So Much As 1t Might Have
Been, However, as 10 W IL Million
Little Seedlings Were Not Touched by
Storm Which Left Ice a Foot Deep

1t Is expected that 1000, 900 trees
will die or be so badly defOrmed as to
be a total loss, as a result of the re-
cent hail storm at the Savenac nursery
at Haugen, according to ID. s. Olson,
chief of planting Of the forest offices.
Hail stones about the size of cherries
fell knee deep in some places about the
nursery, preceded by a heavy shower. The
hail storm was followed by q cloudburst.
The area affected was about five miles
wide with the nursery right in the center.
The total extent of the damage cannot
be estimated at this time, as it is i'm
possible to determine how many trees
will recover from the whipping admin
istered by the hail. One hundred thou
sand trees which were sowed lis spring
in spruce bed were entirely covered
by mud and silt and will be practically
a total loss. Most of the trees were
beaten by he hail, bruising the stems
and knocking of the needles.
Comparatively, the damage is not SO
great, as there are from 10 to ~ million
trees on hand at all times. The number
damaged represents a reserve supply that
is maintained for just such unforeseen
losses. The damage was the greatest in
the older stock that should go out for
planting next spring.
1t Is probable that the amount planted
Tor early deliveries next fall and next
spring Will be less than average, because
the younger trees were less damaged tina
the older. The reserve supply planted
Will be larger than usual in order to pre-
pare for similar accidents In the future
MIR. Olson will leave soon to make 8
survey of older paintings and to make
preparations for fall planting and seed
collection work in the Idaho forest. Tht
work will occupy him for the remainder
of the summer.

The timothy hay acreage is too large
for present requirements in the United
States, according to Edward G. Parker OF
the United States department Of agricul-
ture. Decreases in certain classes OF live
stock and changes in feeding practices
have brought about a change in demand
and thrown production out of balance,
he declares. There is no indication that
timothy will hnd an increasing market in
the future ever though livestock num-
bers should start upward In the next few
years because alfalfa. clover, soybeans
and other legumes will fill the gap, says
this authority.

In many irrigated areas water is more
valuable than the land according to
specialists of the United States depart
ment Of agriculture. Observations in
Montana and other states indicate that
too often land owners place too high an
estimate on the value Of their land so
that when charges incidental to irriga-
ton are added, valuations become ex-
cessive. In some irrigated sections raw,
unimproved land under the ditch is being
valued at the same figure as similar land
not subject to irrigation IN the effort TO
avoid generalization.

Federal Council Makes Public Report on Bituminous
Strike Holding Industry Over-Developed and DecIar-
ing Ethics Ignored by Employers.

BY International Labor News Service.
Pittsburgh, Pa. - Recommending
that both sides abandon "beligerency,"
the Federal Council of Churches of
Christ in America this week made
public its report on coal, branding
practices of mine owners as "bad busi-
ness ethics" and indulging in little
more emphatic language at any point.
While condemning mine owner
practices the report also takes its
fling at the union on one or two points,
alleged violence being one of these.
Insistence on the Jacksonville scale is
another, the claim being made that
this puts Pennsylvania and Ohio oper-
ators in an impossible position" in
view of southern competition.
On housing, the report is apparently
somewhat washed out, while on in
functions there is relatively strong
condemnation.
The chief emphasis of the report
is on the unsatisfactory economic
situation in the industry as whole,
which it declares must be taken into
account if the human factors are to
be understood.
Calls Industry OverdevelOped

the statement:

Revision Of 8-Hour Treaty
Seen as Blow to Workers
Confidence in Labor Office

Washington, d. G. G. L. N. ST.
The full text of the protest made by
the international Federation of Trade
Unions against the proposal Of the
British government to revise the
Washington convention limiting the
hours of work in industrial undertak-
ings to eight in the day and 48 in the
week has been made public by the
Amsterdam office of the federation.
The protest was sent to the thirty
ninth session of the governing body
of the International Labor Organiza-
tion, Geneva, Switzerland. 1t is as
follows:
"At the opening of your thirty
ninth session, the executive committee
of the International Federation of
Trade Unions, and the national trade
union centers affiliated with it, call
your attention in the name of 14,000,-
600 organized workers to the follow
ing considerations in respect of the
proposal made in the governing body
for the revision of the Washington
Eight Hours Conventions:
'The workers organized in the In
ternational Federation of Trade Un-
ions have given their loyal co-opera-
ton to the International Labor Or
ganization, feeling assured that their
collaboration in the establishment of
international social legislation would
not be in vain.
Revision to Ruin Convention
"The working class considers the
Washington Eight Hours Convention
the cornerstone of international labor
legislation. Revision, in the sense
proposed by the British government
delegate, would mean the ruin of this
convention.
"Part XIII of the peace treaty i'm
posed certain specific obligations on
the governments; the Washington
Eight Hours Convention is the first
and most important of the measures
taken to meet these obligations.
Twenty governments voted in
favor of the Washington Hours Con-
vention, and thereby pledged them
selves morally to apply the eight-hour
day and the forty-eight hour week in
accordance with the provisions of that
convention The same may be said
mutatis mutandis of the employers,
whose delegates from seventeen coun-
tries voted in favor of the convention.
To disavow the moral obligation to
ratify, and to do this by resorting to
sophistry in the Interpretation Of Part
XIII of the peace treaty would be to
convert the international labor con-
