WHEELS ROLLING
ON DIZZY IDEA
By Hans Rasmussen

If sometime In the near future
you see a man rolling a little iron
wheel up and down your wheat
field, you might think it is some
one tina has gone nuts, and you
might feel like taking a shot at
him. But don't shoot. 1t might
be one Of your nearest neighbors.
And most likely he will go crazy
before he gets through with The
job.
AS it is, he is supposed to be
better educated than the rest of
us. He had two days of schooling
that we didn't geF. He is one of
the several dozens of civil engi-
neers produced in Plentywood in
couple of days.
For the next six weeks or so
men will be rolling these wheels
all over the county and counting
revolutions, measuring wheat fields
slough holes and blown out spots,
marking down In heir little book
figures ard angles.
In the office in Plentywood sits
another bunch-they are the ones
who do the figuring. If the figures
come out right here, they go to
Bozeman to be figured over by
another bunch, and from there to
Washington, D. c., to be figured
over once more.

ers can begin. to look for their
allotment money, or for what is
left after all this nonsense is PAID

Are Inadequate in Face
of Need in County
Victories Gained by U.F.L

BRENTWOOD, Mont, June 10.
manager Stenehjem adj
mitted under crossexamination by
upwards of 200 indignant farmers
that the ten bushel per capita
feed allowance had been won by
mass action and mass action alone.
AS result of the mass pressure
axerted by the United Farmers
League, the relief allowance for
for the county was increased from
$4,000 to $4,000 and from $4,000
to $4,000 for June. In addition
ten bushels of wheat were obtained
for farmers in the south of the
county.
Both of these victories are re-
Ciculously inadequate. Even the
commissioners admit that $4,000
does not begin to take care of the
needs of the county, and the COM
missioners have signed a demand
for 100 bushels of wheat instead of
ten.
Stenehjem and the three county
commissioners spent an uncomfort-
able afternoon when farmers from
all over the county protested the
miserable inadequate feed allow
ance, the inaction of the commits
sioners in the face Of widespread
malnutrition among the children of
the county, and the wretched cash
relief given adults. "They are our
hired hands and nothing else,
Hans Hardersen told the farmers
as the meeting opened. you've
got a right to talk to them" The
farmers exercised his right and
forced the commissioners to come
clean with an admission that con-
ditions in the county are desperate
and the steps taken by the authori-
ties are entirely inadequate.

Feed Children

county, Stenehjem adopted a Gym

launched an attack on the Pro-

His final words of wisdom were:

Laursen, chairman of the meeting,
replied for the farmers: We have

uously for the last five years, and
when we want something today we
go out and demand it.
Commissioner Olsen was attack
ed for having gone back On his
promises to the farmers. He wa!
accused of shifting the buck to the
state officials instead of exercising
pressure for the demands put for
ward by the farmers at the meet
ing two weeks ago. These demand,
