Toronto, Ont. Aug. 10. = A group of
organized railmen this week called upon
workers and citizens generally to join fore
es in fighting all proposals to amalgamate
the Canadian National and Canadian Paci-
fic railways.
If this scheme is ever put through. a
statement said, it will mean the loss of
about 10000 and $4,000 rail jobs, the de-
Struction of thousands of miles of tracks.
the closing of shops and terminals and the
creation of ghost" towns throughout the
country.
ut is high time, the statement adds
that we railway employees as well as
others in Canada awake to what the bio
financial interests are up to-"
The agitation for amalgamation. it is
claimed, is being kept alive by the 'kinqs
of st. James Street, heads of chambers of
commerce, leading lights in the stock ex-
changes and shady politicians of Beauhar-
lnOis and Ontario Hydro Ill fame, who want
to commit the crime of matchmaking the
two railway systems, to the end that q Oh

NEWSPAPERS SENT BY PHOTO-TEI,-
EGRAPHY IN BACKWARD" RUSSIA

Moscow, Aug. 20 Photo-telegraphy
will soon bring the PRAVDA and iSVES-
TIA to readers in the Urals and Siberia on
the same day that the papers are issued
In Moscow. A recent decision of Soviet au-
thorities makes it incumbent on the Com
mlssarlat OF Communications to establish
photo-telegraphic communications between
Moscow and Sverdlovsk and between Mos
cow and Novosibirsk so that the PRAVDA
can be dispatched by this means before the
end of the year. Eventually "Isvestia" is
to be sent the same way. These important
industrial centers at present receive the
central newspapers five or six DAYS after
publication. When photo-telegraphy is
more firmly established the central news
papers will be sent to points in Eastern ST.
IBERIA and the Far East.

Sawfly Damages Wheat

Considerable damage has been
done to Sheridan Couty wheat
crops in some cases 5 to Is per
cent. This is in addition to grass
hopper and wind damage" says
NJ. J. Peterson, Sheridan County
Agent.
Sawfly damage is especially
noticeable along the edges OF
wheat fields. The wheat stems are
cut off about an inch from the
ground. 1t may be distinguished
from Hessian Fly damage by the
fine dust present in the stem when
sawfies have caused the damage
according to Mr.. Peterson.
A control method which has
been successfully praceiced in Al
berta is to sow a drill row Of
Bronze Grass around the edges as
a trap crop. Bronze Grass is an at
tractive place to lay their eggs
but only a few of the grubs sur
vive in this grass. If the Bronze
Grass is cut about the middle of
July it encourages the sawfy par
asites which further reduces the
damage.
Further information regarding
this insect may be secured at the
Extension office said Mr.. Peter
son.

Attorney S. G. Ford is represent

Farmers Unions and some of the
Labor Unions have interviewed In

has issued a temporary order re-
straining the Secretary of State
from issuing a proclamation that
the Insurance law has been sus-

Liberal forces are now circulat-

There were 552 signers to the

If you want the state of Mon

Washington, d. C.. Aug. 10 =
The outlook for agriculture is bet
ter than it has been for several
years, according to a statement
made today by w. l. Myers, Gov
ernor Of the Farm Credit Admin
istration, to the representatives of
the twelve Federal land banks who
are assembled here this week to
discuss farm sale problems.
According to the reports from
most of the Federal land bank dis
tricts. farm sale prices have adj
vanced materially in the last few
months and | am wondering if we
are entering a farm real estate
boom period. Personally, l do not
think it would be wise to enhance
the prices of farms unduly and l
believe that the influence of the
twelve banks should be in the in
terest Of normal recovery rather
than boom enhancement of prices.
We should not contribute to the
stimulation of a land boom by be-
coming over-optimistic about land
values"

ANNOUNCEMENT

Il was the intention of the
Editor of the Producers News
both last week and this, to ans
wer the slanderOus and malici-
GUS attack on Charles E. Taylor
and others, IN connection with
the Annual Stockholders Meet
ing occurring at the Farmer-La-
Dor Temple, Monday, July 21st
last, and other things, appear
ing in the columns of the Farm
ers National Weekly in the Aug.
9th issue, under the signature of
Hans Hardersen of Archer, but
not written by him. But, because
of the work IN the back shop
incidental to iQuidating the
wreck there, and putting the
plant in an operating condition,
he has not had time to attend to
the matter
However, the answer will
come in due time, and we are
sure il will be adequate.
At this time, it may be well
to again call the attention of the
Stockholders and readers of the
Producers News, and any others
interested, that those respOn-
sible for this lying slanderOus
article, did not sign it them
selves, but hid behind Hardersen
as usual in the doing of their
dirt, because they did not dare
to become responsible themsel-
YES. It's the everyday tactics of
these cheap careerists from the
sidewalks of New York.
The article itself disclOses that
the writer had not known what
he was talking about, and that
he was more eager to imjure
Taylor than to state the facts,
if facts at all interest him.
