An announcement by ]. C. Taylor, director OF Mon
tana Extension services, states that meetings pertain
ing to the new four-year wheat contracts will be held
throughout the state for the purpose of instructing
county leaders and association officers.
No doubt there will be present at these meetings
such officials of the AZ as J. Diamond. statistician,
and other compliance officers, men who have more di-
rect connections with the Department at Washington
than local farmers can possibly have.
ii seems to the Herald that eastern Montana far
mers should urge consideration, in allotment benefit
PAYMENTS. in the matter of the quality of wheat pro-
duced.
soft wheat growers in Kansas, Oklahoma, Nebras-
liza. Washington and other states, because OF their
greater average yields, benefit considerably more pro-
poriionately than do eastern Montana farmers, who
raise hard spring wheat so vital in the making Of good
flour.
1t is in the soft and winter wheat classes that our
surplus is produced, the surplus that gluts the market
and drives down the price.
There is no surplus of hard spring wheat. In fact
our -four mills are continued importers of hard spring
wheat. They must have it in order to manufacture the
quality Of -four Americans demand. Never is there a
bushel Of Montana's hard spring wheat exported. Mil
lers paw a premium in order to get it. They never get
enough of it.
Inasmuch as soft wheat producers are responsible
for the wheat surplus we hear about "a surplus which,
under the AAA, cuts the base acreage OF the hard
wheat producer~-why should they receive. the major
portion Of the benefits?
The hard wheat producer, whose product is worth
much more than that of the soft wheat grower, gets
the same benefit payment per bushel, but for far fewer
bushels FER acre.
Some consideration should be given this matter Oy
the AAA officials. Their aim and their results are fine
as far as they have gone, But they should go further
and give the hard wheat producer benefit payments in
keeping with his product
With new contracts coming up which will be effec-
tive for probably four years, eastern Montana farmers
should ask this consideration. If they do not, certainly
the soft wheat growers will not do it for them.

Regimenting The Spud

The humble spud has become the largest target for
the bureaucrat.
Under a law passed by the last Congress, the Irish
potato is to have its turn in socalled crop control. Gro
wers who produce more than five bushels a year must
submit to stringent licensing system-and II they pro
duce more than their quota, a heavy fine may be levied
against them. Opposition arguments, based on the fact
that the spud is an eccentric sort OF animal, whose pro-
ductivity is almost Impossible to control, have no
avail.
The new law did rot have Administration support,
and seems to be regarded coldly by Secretary Wallace.
1t was put through by zealots who feel that nature
should be regimented as thoroughly as possible.
However, it is encouraging to report that various
groups, led by well-known men, have announced def
ance to such a MISUNDERSTANDING law-and have cha
lenged its Enforcement The pioneer spirit, which de-
tested any kind of dictatorship, is not yet dead and de-
mands the right to eat spuds without political super
vision.

Plentywood Boys Want A Chance

There are times in every mans life when he recalls
pleasant memories of yesterday. Incidents most vivid
are of boyhood days, stamped forever in memory as
the pleasant in life.
You vision family, perhaps, those pleasant days. NO
worries. no cares. Who cared what the morrow
brought? Youth is that way. They are days never to be
forgotten.
Boyhood days are busy days. Remember the ol
gang that gathered at the swimin' hole? What fun we
had. Maybe it was a sand lot ball game. Maybe it was
an overnight camping trip-"just the gang" Remem-
Der? By the camp fire youths knowledge of the world
would be related in a youthful way-big little fell
lows. the country's future leaders and citizens in the
making lowered together in one night of ecstasy. That
was our youth.
Today organizations, like the Boy Scouts OF Amerf-
ca are fostered to bring together 'the gang" Such Or
CARNATIONS help to make boyhood days always pleas
ant memories They are essential. Association in such
an organization just puts something in a boys inners'
that stays. 1t is an education in itself and should never
be let wanting.
Plentywood needs a Boy Scout troop. 1t had one,
and it was successful Why not another one? Boy
Scouts can be found in practically every town in north
eastern Montana. Plentywood boys should be given the
opportunity to be members of the greatest youth move
ment in the world today.
Boys proudly say Il am a Boy Scout" Give Plenty
wood boys a chance to say that They will appreciate
