POULTRY SPEC
IALIST TO DEM
ONSTRATE HERE

Miss H. E. Cushhan, Poultry spec
ialist of the Montana State College,
will be in this county on Sept. 16, II
and 18th and will hold series of
meetings at the D. M. Machines
farm, Arthur Ueland farm and in the
court room in Plentywood to discuss
poultry problems in regard to the
cuiling, caponizing, housing, feeding
and management and poultry mar
During the past two years, farm
ers throughout the country are en-
deavoring to build up .focks of high
quality both in meat and egg produc-
ton. One of the major handicaps
which growers in this county are con-
fronted with is the housing problem.
Miss Cushman has had considerable
experience in poultry work in Monta-
ma, and is in a position to advise
poultry growers as to the best types
Of housing for Montana conditions.
Other factors that reduce the profits
in poultry production are diseases
and nonprofitable producers.
At the meetings which will be held
at the D. Machines farm on Monday,
Sept. 16 at 800 p. m. and Andrew
Ueland's farm on Sept. II at 2:30 p.
M, Miss Cushman will demonstrate
how the improbable egg producers
may be culled from the flocks. She
will also speak on diseases and meth
ods of eradication. All residents of
the county who are interested in
poultry work are invited to attend
these demonstrations.
The Meeting which will be held in
the court room on September 18 will
be largely along the lines of poultry
care and management and market
ing with reference to both chickens
nd capons. All members of the poul-
try marketing association are re-
quested to attend the meeting on Sep
tember 18 at which time local mar
keting problems for this season will
be discussed.

GRAIN CHIEFS
FORCE PRICES
DOWN, CLAIM
N. D. Senator Asks Investiga-
ton by Fed. Board AL
leges Freeze Out

Washington, Sept. 9-SenatOr Nye,
Republican North Dakota, Monday
accused Duluth, Minneapolis and Chi
cago grain operatives of attempting
to force the wheat growers to dump
their commodity upon the market by
keeping storage facilities loaded to
their maximum. He asked an inces-
tigation by the federal farm board
The senator said an inquiry Of his
ownhad indicated that the farmer had
no alternative but to sell his product
at whatever the current price might
be rather than hold it for more ia
vomble terms. He asserted that he
believed the elevators had been filled
through a deliberate program of the
Duluth and Chicago boards of trade
and the Minneapolis chamber of COM
merce.
Prepared to go before President
Hoover with his complaint, if neces-
sary, after he has presented it to the
farm board, Senator Nye declared
that if immediate action is not forth
coming he will present a resolution
calling for senate investigation of
"this general terminal tieup."
Forced to Sell
1.-THE wheat farmers are being en-
couraged" the senator said, "by the
farm board and the department of
agriculture to withhold selling their
wheat But the farmers are being
forced to sell outright for want of
credit and storage facilities although
everything indicates splendid prices
for wheat later.
"The farmer is being compelled to
sell through what l believe is a de-
liberate program engineered by the
grain trade, including the Duluth
and Chicago boards of trade and the
Minneapolis chamber of commerce
Nye went on to describe his own
inquiry which he said had disclosed
that winter wheat from the south
west had been brought into the north
western elevators by the grain oper-
atives, with the result that the north
western producers of spring wheat
were being deprived Of storage ia
cilities which would have meant much
In this short crop Year,"
Deliberate Scheme
"This strikes me as being a delib-
crate scheme to deprive the spring
wheat growers of that price which
is in evidence for this years crop
Nye continued. "The local elevators
in the field are probably not at all re-
sponsibla for this program but the
wheat trade operating in Duluth,
Minneapolis and Chicago have the
power to manipulate these terminal
facilities at will.
Il have suggested to the North Da-
kota railroad commission an investi-
cation which they assure me is be-
ing conducted. / hope to encourage
the farm board to make full and
complete investigation and to correct
the ills they mayfnd to exist.
"If for any reason the farm board
does not see fit or does not find it
possible to act then l shall carry to
the floor Of the senate at an early
hour calling for a senate investiga-
tion of this general terminal tieup."
