BY the Associated Press.
DIES MONIES, Iowa. June 3.-Rep-
resentative L. j. Dickinson, pledging
support to President Hoover and the
pending tariff bill, early today held
nearly a two-to-one lead over Gov John
Hammill for the Republican senatorial
nomination in Mondays primary cleo
ton.
Hammill conceded defeat in tele-
gram to Dickinson, which read: per
NIT me to congratulate you on your
primary victory and to assure you my
good wishes for your future success"
Senator Daniel F. Steck was chosen
without opposition to bear the Demo-
cratic standard in the November cleo
ton. He made no campaign.
With more than two-thirds of the
precincts reported, unofficial totals
showed Dickinson had 1926 votes;
Hammill, 1929 votes.
Dan w. Turner OF Corning, State in
come tax advocate, was far ahead of
Ed Smith, secretary of State, and Otto
LANCE, chain store opponent, for the
Republican nomination for governor
The vote was as follows: Turner,
166,927; Smith, 1895; LANCE, 1876.
All State officers seeking renomina-
ton held comfortable leads in less COM
plete returns. G.. c. Greenwalt led a
field of four candidates for Smiths
position as secretary of State. He
failed to reach in early counts the IS
per cent of the total vote required for
nomination
Ten Republican Representatives also
maintained good majorities. State
Senator Fred Gilchrist was leading in
a three-cornered race for the post now
held by Dickinson, who was the only
Representative not seeking another
term.
Representative w. F. Kopp, T. j. B.
Robinson and Gilbert N. Haugen were
leading their opponents, while the seven
others had no contests. They are F. D.

Wheat AS Hog
Feed Brings
Better Prices

BOHEMIAN, Aug. 10-With wheat
selling at 60 cents per bushel and the
Pacific coast hog market at 81 to
$l1.45, 400 pounds of wheat will
bring 81 on the grain market and
more than 81 on the hog market if
used for fattening hogs, according
to d. f. Richards, extension live
stock specialist at Montana State
College.
These figures were derived after a
number Of experiments carried on at
the Montana experiment station in
f~attening hogs with wheat as the
chief part of the ration. The exper-
iments showed that 400 pounds of
wheat will produce a 100-pound gain
on the average. Other parts of the
ration were some pasture, green leafy
hay, ~buttermilk, skim milk or other
cheap homegrown feed.
Wheat is worth about / cent on
the grain market or nearly 3 cents as
hog feed. Mr.. Richards said some
variation could be expected in gains
made by hogs on a wheat ration.
The proportion between the hog and
wheat markets will vary, of course,
but Richards believes that taking all
ordinary factors into consideration
wheat will bring more profit to the
farmer as hog feed han when sold on
the grain market, with present condi-
tions existing.

HARVEST IS now
IN full SWING

Our farmers are very busy these
days harvesting their crops. This
week the streets of Plentywood are
as empty and deserted as
they are just after New Years. There
are more binders this year than there
was last as the farmers want to save
straw for feed, but many are cutting
part of their crops with binder, pre-
ferring to combine the balance.
Yields vary a great deal, altho the
northern half of the County will show
a very good turn out and also the
Archer territory south will give a
very good accounting for this years
crop.
Many reports come in from the
southeast part Of the County that
crops there are poorer than ever, in
many instances yields of only three
bushels are obtained.
The best yield we have heard of so
far this year is a field of Supreme
wheat north of Raymond which r.
l.. Young slowed for seed and which
has Just been combined and yielded
81 bushels per acre and weighed a
little over 60 pounds.
