Low PRICES HOLD
DOWN ACREAVERACE.
OF FARMS In STATE.

Helena (Bureau)-Low prices for
wheat combined with a backward
spring are apparently having the eff
feet of holding down acreage devoted
to spring wheat on Montana farms,
and with the heavy reduction in win
ter wheat acreage, it is not probable
that total acreage will be as large as
last year, says the crop report for the
week ending Ny IL issued by the state
publicity division in cooperation with
the extension service.
Extension agents. report that in the
eastern third of the state practically
all wheat is in the ground with only
few scattered farmers still seeding.
In central Montana wheat seeding is
possibly so per cent completed; Cas-
cade, Pondera, Glacier, Toole and Gal
latin indicating only from 40 to so
per cent seeded. Many farmers, cur
failing wheat seeding, are swinging to
increased planting of all feed crops,
alfalfa and sweet clover in some Sec
tons showing an increase of 100 per
cent.
Flax Seeding
Flax seding also is in progress with
the acreage jumping 1000 to $500 in
Pondera and 40 to so per cent in
crease predicted in Sheridan, Richland
Prairie and adjoining counties. Sugar
beets are all planted. A freeze in the
early part of the week damaged beets
in Yellowstone and will call for some
replanting. Potato planting is about
so per cent finished. Orchard sections

SWEDISH COOP
RUNS 1900 STORES

Washington (FP) - Since 1899
the working class of Sweden has built
up a cooperative trading movement
which now operates 1900 stores. saws
John b. Osborne, American consul
general at Stockholm, in an illustrated
article published in Commerce Re
ports.
The start in 1899 was made by the
"A delegates of Al local cooperative
associations having 1875 members.
They formed the Cooperative Union.
Today there are 900 associations and
366, 1000 members.
The Union operates also two of the
largest flour mills in Sweden, a boot
and shoe factory "a margarine factory
and big chemical plant. Last year
it imported from the United States
for its stores $973,0O0 worth of food
stuffs.
"The industrial workers have been
the mainstay of the Union from the
beginning" says Osborne. APATHY
of the farm population may be attri-
buted to the fact that the Swedish
peasant holds obstinately to old ideas
and customs, and distrusts novelty in
any form.
Nearly three-fourths of the totaI
membership is composed of rural as
sociations, but rural industry is only
in small part devoted to farming, ow.
ing to the excellent waterpower re
sources. Consequently the country
population is similar in character anC
conditions to the industrial and office
population of the towns"
Forty of the local associations il
the Cooperative Union have their owl
savings banks, which during 1927 hac
over $4,000 accounts with deposits es
timated at 100000 crowns. Rea
estate and housing enterprises hav,
been taken up by some of the asso
citation with notable success in Stock
holm and other cities.
In 1926 the Union interviewed to re
duce prices in the galosh industry
which was controlled by four privat
factories. After it had built its owl
factory the trust made peace with
and bought its plant.
At present the Union is consider

Washington - (FP) - With the
Maine delegation demanding dras-
tic increase in the tariff on pOta-
toes, to keep out the Canadian pro-
duct which is now entering the
United States in millions of bushels
annually, and with President Hoov-
er ordering 500 increase in the
milk and cream tariff, tension be-
tween Washington and Canadian
economic powers became marked on
May Ia. That the potato tariff viii
be raised, and that the Canadian
milk producers will have to pay the
higher rate ON their milk for years,
was conceded by Canadian watchers
at the capitol.
Senate committee hearings, de-
signed to boost the rates named on
lumber and cher Canadian exports
as well as ION European products,
will start as soon as the House has
passed the bill.

For this redistribution, rates rec

The general level of rates on grain,

Before the revision suggested can
be ordered into effect, it must be
passed upon by the Interstate Com

the commission will hear arguments
from Shippers, growers and railroad
representatives.

The proposed scales would consid

bined force of the farm relief bill,
the farm tariff bill and the special
summer excursion rates on export
wheat was required to put the wheat
grower back to where he was in the
good old days of 1914-before the
war! The Republicans are saying it
was a mistake to live up to their
platform pledge in calling the special
session. Any time they dot is their
mistake. But they did well, for they
managed it so that the farmer had
his wheat all in before he knew they
were planning on going back to 1914

bases and ran him down. The Pres

the tariff bill. What did he expect?

May Day Has No Significance

Bridgeport. May l P-John j.
Egan. secretary of the Connecticut
Federation of Labor. said today that
May day had no significance in har-
mony and we know of no strikes in
volving unions affiliated with us.
and l do not expect any during the
day. May day as strike day does
not concern us. Many working
agreements expire on April 80, not
as many now as formerly. and we
are gradually working away from
that date. Seasonal trades now ne
sotiate for new agreements at a
time when they can be considered
with the least waste of time. The
building trades try to make up their
agreements in the winter SO that
contractors who are figuring ahead
on plans made in the fall by archi-
tects can determine what their labor
costs will be. Recently in Bridgeport
the painters agreement ended on the
14th of April. The men struck on
the 18th and the disagreement was
settled on that day. What differences
exist today in the state it will be
found are due simply to the fact
that agreements have expired and
not because labor has set May day
as the day on which to lay down
its tools"
