Ever since the Agricultural Marketing Act was placed on the Fed
erl statute books a insidious, far reaching, subtle stream of adj
verse propaganda has been sweeping the country, designed to create
public sentiment against it.
This propaganda has been cleverly written. Among other things
it charges that the Farm Board lost s500O0OO0O. No statement could
be more false and misleading.
What are the facts. Congress, not the Farm Board, appropriated
$780, 10000 to carry out the provisions of the Marketing Act. 1t pro
yided that a Farm Board be created to administer the handling OF this
money. In compliance with the mandates of the Act the Farm Board
loaned to farmerowned and farmercontrolled cooperative organizations
about half of this amount. The other half was invested during an
emergency in large quantities of wheat and cotton. The money loaned
to the farm cooperatives is being repaid regularly on the loans that
were made. The part that was used for emergency sterilization OF
wheat and cotton is at present tied up in the values of these commod1
ties. Until these holdings are disposed of by the Farm Board n 10 loss
can be charged.
If the Democrats and the opponents of organized agriculture could
in some manner, force the liquidation of the Farm Boards holdings
in wheat and cotton today such action probably would show a loss of
approximately s1SOOOO,OOO. On the other hand if the world attains
any, loss.
Is there any business in the world that has not suffered excessive
losses during the last two years? If we ire to believe published e
ports. industry lost thousands of millions of dollars. The opponents
of organized agriculture are very careful to say nothing of such loses.
They spend a great deal of money, however, and employ some very
clever propagandists to place before the American people the false
information that the Federal Farm Board lost large sun of money in
its service to agriculture.
If the country survives it's severe attack of depression with con-
gressional complications, it should be rugged enough to throw for a

COTTON AND Wheat

An Arkansas paper says that food, shelter clothing, etc. is now
made of cotton-practcany everything but money.
It seems a good place to remark that wheat a sister commodity
of cotton, goes cotton several better. Wheat has made money, easy
money in bunches;~ also bankrupts, mortgages, losses to creditors,
martyrs, heroes, liars, history, experience, wisdom, and has aided cot
ton in making the government go into business Gin a courageous effort
to rescue agriculture) a horrible crime in the eyes of the nonprogress-

A YEAR OF PROMISE

The New Year, 1882, is a year of promise. To be sure 1t IS every
new year brings its promises. But we have all in the past cen SLOW
to understand that the new year like the old is made up largely OF
hat humanity puts into it. Promises are not fulfilled out Of the
air and because of our hopes and the good wishes Of our friends Some
things depend Oh nature and fate, and are beyond our control III
ven if those things prove favorable much depends o ourselves {"
foo +a PROMISES be cashed in. Wal, greed, politics, disaster,
wild individual Judgment and failure to fulfil the moral obligations OF
citizenship have steered this country and the world into a slough OF de
preston. A tremendous job of lifting must be done. No government,
no noInical party. no fortunate turn of socalled luck is equal to the
ask without the earnest, openminded, fair-minded, rational and cour-
ageous assistance of the citizens. Among the many commodities Of
which we lust now have a heavy overproduction are malicious propa-
ganda. criticism, faultindng and politics with a sign at each END
We will have to forget our old prejudices and step up to the heights
where the view is unobstructed. We must be good Americans and
is especially applicable in Montana where, in spite Of all, we nave a
better chance than in most parts to come back, to recuperate our
fortunes and do it in a few short years. But re must lower or

Along the coast of southern Cal
ifiornia there is a dead whale. 1t
is very dead, and for several weeks
has been annoying the inhabitants.
Finally Orange county decided to
burn the carcass and let the con-
tract for $500. But the odor of
roasting whale, waited for miles
over the countryside by winds,
proved just as offensive as that of
dead whale. Moreover. because of
the tides, the process of burning
the whale is proving a slow one.
