superior quality.
Fred Christensen of Dagmar said
he thought it would be a serious
mistake to dispense with the office
at this time when so much help was
needed In regard to administering the
seed loan, although" he said, IF the
office can be operated at any say
ing, l am in favor of that, but not
to abandon it entirely"
Gus Rba pointed out that through
following suggestions by the county
agent, he was able to substantially
Increase both the yield and quality of
his crops.
C. G. Christensen, manager of Ing
watson Co, in Plentywood, called par
ticular attention to the club work
v e the county sponsored by the
county agents office and felt it would
be a serious mistake to discontinue
an office which would mean perhaps
the killing of all this work with the
boys and girls on farms.
Hans Madsan, sheriff and a pro-
minent farmer Of the Archer commu
nifty, declared the work of putting
out gopher poison alone was worth
maintsi lining the office of the county
agent
Several other talks were made sup
! porting the work of the office. No enc

original petition asking that the of.

GARNER PLAN

The pork barrel" portions Of

bill were assailed night by

of the Young Republicans of the
District of Columbia.
Mr.. Dunlap contended that
Speaker Gamers plen was more
or less a political gesture and a
"last resort" to persuade the coun-
try that the Democratic should
be given control Of the Govern
ment. He praised the Administra-
ton of President Hoover, and pre-
dicted that if Gov. Franklin D.
Roosevelt should be nominated
by the Democrats "he will be
easy to beat"
The Young Republicans decided
to carry on their membership
drive during the summer months,

WET PROBLEM
VEXES c. 0.P.
, MANAGERS

Republican platform carpen-
ters were saving and hammering
today, but the hole that is to be
bridged by the prohibition plank
remained untitled.
Confronted with demands of
Eastern leaders that the platform
offer some hope to the Atlantic
seaboard and by Senator Borah's
1nSistence upon no deviation from
the straight and dry path, the
platform builders were a worried
lot.
Makes Small Progress
James r. Garfield, slated to be
Chairman of the resolutions COM
mittee, has made small progress
toward reconciling the divergent
views Of Senator Borah and Sena-
tor Bingham, leader of the Sen
ate wet bloc.
Only Postmaster General Wal
ter F. Brown appears optimistic
That an agreeable solution will be
found. He reiterated that the
Republican prohibition plank will
be one Ito which all factions can
subscribe"
But Jouett Shouse, chairman
Of the Democratic national execu-
tive committee, wakes satirical.
He said:
Cites HOOver'S Views
Perhaps this may be the
era Of the miracle man in this
administration after all. Pres
ident Hoover is in favor of
any plank satisfactory to the
drys and highly pleasing to
the wets."
AS for the Democratic position
on a prohibition plank, Shouse
asserted his party would proceed
to ascertain the views of the ma
jority in the Democratic conven-
ton and write a plank consonant
with those views.
