FEED MARKET DULL;
WHEAT FEEDS LOWER

Feed markets remained dull dur
ing the week ended Nov. % with
practically all feeds in slow de-
mand, according to the weekly
Feed Market Review of the United
States Bureau of Agricultural
Economies. Wheat feeds we're in
dependently weak with inquiry for
the heavier offal nominally light.
Prices declined $1-1.50 per ton
with middlings selling at bran
prices at some points. High pro-
tein feeds were steady with light
offerings the principal strengthen
ing influences. Corn feeds were
in abundant supply as a result Of
the heavy November output but
prices held about unchanged.
Taken altogether feed prices aV-
eraged lower for the week with
the index at the close at 64.6 per
cent of the 1926 level compared
with 66.S per cent a week ago and
1913 per cent for the correspond
ing week last year.

favored the construction of NUM-
cipal power plant, and the issuance
of not to exceed 100000 in bonds
for the erection of the plant.
At a special election Monday,
Nov. q. voters balloted on two
propositions, one whether the city

second whether bonds not to ex-
coed 100000 should be issued,
"such bonds to be secured bv mort
gage upon said electric light and
power plant. and to constitute a
special obligation of the city pay
able solely and exclusively out of
the earnings derived from the OPP
Grafton of such electric light and
power plant and not a general OBJ
legation Of the city payable out Of
money raised thru taxation"
On the first proposal the vote
was 448 to 50 in favor. and on the
second the vote was. 437 to 72 II
approval.
1t is said the city council will

FIRE AT MARTIN
STORAASLI HOME
SUNDAY MORNING

The fire department was called
to- the Martin Storaasli home in
the extreme west part of the city
at 8 o'clock Sunday morning to
extinguish fire which had gained
some Roadway in the wall between
the house and the lear-to garage
1t apparently started from a can
OF Ignite askes, which had been
left standing in the corner of the
garage, and had burned a hole
through the wall into the kitchen.
Fire Chief Martin Nelson who
lives diagonally across the street
noticed the smoke and turned in
the alarm. Mr.. Storaasli was
awakened about that time and
smelling smoke opened the door
leading to the garage but was
driven back bv a sheet of flame
and dense smoke.
After the fire had been ex-
tinguisehd the new Ford truck
which was in the garage at the
time was pushed outside. The
laquer was burned off the hood
and radiator and the windows and
Windshield were destroyed and the
upholstering scorched. Otherwise
it apparently was little damaged.
The damage to the house and
contents strike Mr.. and Mrs.
/ Storaasli particularly hard at this
time due to their financial con.
dition.

WHEAT ALLOTMENT
INJUSTICE

AS the Christmas holidays draw
near and other needs for a little
spending money are pressing, in
Guiding taxes and living expenses,
it would seem almost crime to
further delay these much expected
wheat allotment checks. There's
been mighty exasperating delays
and blasted hopes already. Most
of US are reconciled to the fact
that we will not get anything until
about Feb. 1, and if everything
could be fair and square then it
would be worth waiting for. But
it appears that the injustice we
have called attention to earlier
will still be a part of the program.
The farmer with a small three
year base allotment, the one who
has cooperated in the past in the
reduction program will still be
penalized.
Our Wheat Control Board has
worked hard in trying to adjust
the large over-run and to comply
with regulations. 1t has shown
sympathy for our plan of basing
the wheat allotments on our total
cultivated acreage as suggested
several weeks ago but felt without
proper authority with which t., use
it. In a recent letter from the
Agricultural Adjustment Admin
stration received BY the writer,
Mr.. Farrell. Associate Chief states,
"No such change can be made by
the Wheat Section of the AAA
under the present regulations" BY
this we will see that there's no
chance at present. But we cannot
see why there cannot be some ad-
iustment of these regulations in
this regard as well as in many
other matters. 1t seems not i'm
possible if we can but get suf-
ficient publicity and pressure ex-
erted. Perhaps when the contract
signing time comes along some
thing will happen to show the
sentiments of the farmers.
In last weeks papers we see
that Sheridan county's total allot-
ment has been raised to some 1884,
900 acres of wheat. With this new
figure figured on the total cult
waited acreage of the county we get
a percentage of about So per cent,
which means that IS per cent of
the total land under cultivation in

Sheridan county is assumed to be
in wheat on our plan. On this
basis the cooperating farmer Of
the past three years who has been
reducing his wheat acreage to al
most nothing can now be given an
even break with the ones that have
kept on continually putting into
farms with 100 acres or less of
wheat that no further reductions
be made. If the 13 per cent over
run still to be whitfield down can
not be adjusted it has been sug-
gested that a graduated scale of
reduction be arbitrarily made on
those acres over this 100. The
feeling seems to be that where a
fair system is being used all
around that a cut will be taken
more graciously. At the several
meetings we've had and in private
conversations it has been some
what surprising as, well as graft
fving to feel that our plan Of
basing on cultivated acres would
he a most satisfactory solution
both now and in the future if
adopted.
