CORRECTION

Producers News, Plentywood, Mont.
Gentlemen:
Would like you to correct a state
ment which appeared in the paper
this last week in regard to the Out
look Band being in attendance at
Communist meeting here. We have
members in the Band in = sympathy
with the Communist program and
we have members opposed to it, and
we are not as a Band taking sides
politically either way. Please pub
lish an article in your paper this
week to correct that impression.
Very truly,
H. G. PRESCOTT,
Director of Band.
Editors Note-The meeting on
April is a meeting of the United
Farmers League. When we were
told that the band would participate
in the program we understood that
it was because the United Farmers
League is the mass organization OF
the farmers of the county. While
the band may not participate Off
cially we hope to have many OF its
members present at the big mass
meeting and entertainment on Sat
urday, April 8

AS THE FARMER SAW
IT

From a farmer we have receiv-
ed long article about the March
22nd meeting held at the court
house. The article is practically
covering the same ground as has
been covered before. and we only
print part of it:
By Honorable Senator Lars
Angvick we were told that we
have had a County Agent the last
ten or more years and have also
been kidded into believing that we
lived in the "Heart of the Hard
Wheat country" and were raising
the best wheat in the world, and
then along comes Hon. Senator
Angvick with facts and figures to
prove to us that we were getting
less for our wheat than any other
state in the Union and especially
Georgia, where they were getting
75c a bushel more than we were
and that was because they haC
such wonderful county agents
there. and the reason we wer'
only getting so little for our whea
was because it was SO poor tina
the millers couldn't even use it TO
flour and it was absolutely unfi
for seed, and if only we kept tn
County Agent he would improv
our wheat so that the miller
: could use it for flour. My! My
This is terrible! Here we hav
had a County Agent the last 10 o
IL years and he has only just noN
made this wonderful discovery.
would suggest that if Senate
, Angvick and County Agent Eel
: guson really want to do this cour
! ty some good, that they send
telegram to the Georgia Count
4 Agents and get them to supply !
, farmers with some REAL GOO
2 wheat for seed this spring so tn;
we don't need to keep on raisin
+ this crap that we have been raj
O ing.
Q Lars also told us how the farm
y ers in Denmark were getting II
4 more a pound for butter in Ne
o York than we could get becau
/, they had such wonderful Count
f Agents and then some Dane HI
k the nerve to get up and tell La
IS that in Denmark no County Age
K existed.
Is Sidewalk Farmer Hole fro
N Reserve also told us what a wo
20 derful trip his son had had Ia
" year to some place or other
il western Montana, because he W
s such a good Judge of livestock, a
n if we didn't keep the County A
Is ent his son would not get a
more free vacations and worst
er all he wouldn't learn how to
he come a good farmer if we fiji
Ve the County Agent.
n Charley Norton told how
ne County Agent had quarantined
- cattle for Anthrax and then
finally developed that they neV
o. had it and the whole mess /
+ cost mot saved) Charley $1,000
re 1t certainly was good to get
m Plentywood and find out how mi
,te the Agent is doing for us and
. so incidentally how the farm
as objected to having the gold br
nv damned down their throat as s
an erud said.

mot HIS BABY"

There is a phase of the statement
reported to have been made by Gov
ernor Roosevelt that the war debt
problem is not his baby that ought not
to go unchallenged. All the discus
sion of this question, and particularly
of President Hoover's efforts to meet
the crises that it has occasioned
seems to proceed on the assumption
that the present administration is re-
sponsible for the war debt tangle as
it exists today.
But it is only fair to ask, who Gre
ated the war debt? Has it been for
gotten that this problem was created
by Democratic administration, and
that it was handed along to the Re-
publican leaders in 1920, when they
came into control of the government?
If the war debt problem is not Gov
ernor Roosevelt's baby personally, it
is most decidedly the offspring of the
party that he now has the honor to
represent. Nothing is to be gained
now by starting a discussion of the
origin of these obligations. There are
many who believe, however, that the
present volume of debt might have
been far smaller if the Wilson ad-
ministration had not yielded so easily
to the arts of foreign persuasion, and
opened the doors of the United States
Treasury wide to foreign demands. If.
this financial assistance seemed nee
essary to save Germany's opponents
from defeat, at least some consider
alton might have been given to the
possibility of repayment before con-
tinuing loans to these nations after
the armistice.
Nothing is to be gained by discuss
ing that which has been done, and
which cannot be changed. But there
is some ill grace in the titular leader
of the Democratic party disowning
responsibility for the offspring of his
own party at time when his coopera-
ton is asked in meeting the crisis
that has arisen therefrom.

MEXICO PERKS UP

American farmers who voted for
change, thinking it might help their
commodity prices, and especially the
truck farmers of the South who sup
ply the great cities of the United
States with vegetables in the "off sea-
son." will be interested to know that
the farmers in Mexico, especially in
the northern part of the Latin repub-
lie, are expecting the change of ad-
ministrations in the United States
to give them "new DEAL" and con-
siderable help.
According to press dispatches these
Mexican farmers think that the new
administration will break several
holes in our agricultural tariff walls
and that Mexican agriculture will ben
eft as a result. Farmers in northern
Mexico raise a great many tomatoes,
string beans, carrots and other farm
truck, which they have ready for mar
ket in the winter time. The present
American tariff protects the vegetable
grower of our own Southern states
from the import of cheap foreign
vegetables grown by peon labor.
But the Mexican farmer now be-
lieves that the tariff will be lowered,
perhaps by the "trade agreement"
we heard so much about from Gov
ernor Roosevelt in the recent cam
paign, and that he will benefit as
result. If he benefits, of course, it
will be at the expense of the truck
farmers of our own Southern states.
Tinkering with the tariff on Mexican
vegetables will undoubtedly bring
change, but it may not be the kind
the American farmers voted for.

EVEN IF IT IS CHRISTMAS

Don't set up the tree so that it can
topple over easily and don't place it
near heating or lighting fixtures.
Don't use lighted candles on trees.
Don't use paper, cotton or celluloid
ornaments. Incombustible trimmings
may now be purchased.
Don't allow smoking near Christ
mas trees.
Don't permit paper to accumulate.
Don't be careless in the use of cleo
trical equipment or in extending wir-
ing.
e Don't give small children dangerous
toys-such as those requiring alcohol,
kerosene or gasoline.
Don't permit use of nitracellulose
film in home motion picture machines.
This is dangerous because it is ex-
tremely infammable and, in burning,
releases fumes causing death. Use
only safety" film, known as acetate
film.
Don't neglect to keep handy some
thing with which to put out the fire
that does happen to start.
Don't keep the Christmas tree up
after December 91st. 1t becomes
dried out after a few days in the
house.
The foregoing are safety sugges
tions of the National Board of Fire
Underwriters.

Suets and meats can also be tied with
string to the limbs of trees or to
poles and the birds will pick it as
they need it. Large house sparrows
English sparrows) are very trouble
some; the aforementioned foods may
be suspended at the end of two feet
of cord, tied to the end of a limb in
such manner that it will swing free
ly in the wind. Only birds accustomed
to feeding in the swaying limbs of the
trees can successfully take food so
placed. Mixed grain, such as scratch
feed, chopped screenings, sweepings
from barn floors and graineries, table
scraps, bread crumbs, nuts and similar
foods are very useful at feeding sta
tons and furnish excellent foods for
birds.
