SALT LAKE MEET IS
MOST IMPORTANT TO
MONTANA FARMERS

In a review of the work of the
meeting held at Salt Lake City
last week, A. P. Bruce. Montana
Commissioner of Agriculture,
Labor and Industry, said:
The meeting representing all
agricultural interests of the II
great western states. held at Salt
lake City last week to my mind
will rank as n Of the most i'm
portant gatherings of its kind
that has ever been held. Large
delegations were there represent
ing every diversified interest con-
rected with agriculture. There
was a harmony of intention and
interest that was outstanding.
1T was businesslike from start
to finish. Al differences that in
former years existed, were sunk
completely and the meeting was
harmonious with the one intent OF
united action to back up the work
that the administration at Wash
ington is promoting to aid the
agricultural interests of the entire
nation.
There were gathered mer
prominent in the cattle bushes:
and the sheep business. There
were the dairy men and the poul
try experts. There were the suga.
beet r~aisers and the orchard anc
fruit interests. There yer thu
wheat and corn and other grain
raisers.
There were the dry-land farm
ers and the irrigated land owners
The wool men and the cotton me.
were represented. And there to
were many diversified politics
ideas represented. In the entir
three days that we were in session
none of those differences thu
might have been expected on &C

resented to crop out, showed

mittee~-Interstate and Foreign
Commerce, providing for an
agency to be known as the Rural
Identification Administration"
Under this act the administrator
would be Empowered to promote
identification in rural areas by
making loans, etc.
Mr.. Cooke, present administra-
tor Of the temporary rehabiIita-
ton set-up, presented some pert
inent facts in his argument before
the committee. 1t is disheartening
to note that America is backward
in this work of rural identification.
Holland has 100 per cent rural
identification; Germany, l9 per
cent; Sweden, so per cent; On
tario, IS per cent; while America
has only 10 per cent,
Consider the various burdens
that could be lifted from the
shoulders Of the farmer and his
wife by electricity, In view of the
existence of electric pumps, milk
ing machines. separating ma
chimes, electrically driven sewing
machines, sewing machines. wash
ing machines, electric irons, and
innumerable similar devices, to-
gether with electric refrigerators
radios, coasters, etc, which would
add to the comfort of the home,
the great good that could be ac-
compllshed for the farmer, by
such legislation, is inestimable.
Of course, staid fasteners who
ever saw a farm believe the

will be evidenced from the reports
Of the committees that were sub
mitted. The soil erosion bill that
has been put forward as a substs-
tute to take the place of the AAA
measure that was invalidated by
the courts, seemed to have been
drawn to meet every requirement.
The cooperation of the people
of the western states that were
represented was practically as
sured at the end Of our three days
of work. Everyone seemed to re-
alize what a tremendous figure
the water conservation and soil
erosion. the resettlement and soil
conserving programs will play in
the future prosperity of this great
section Of the United States.
lust as an intisnation of what
was accomplished, glance at the
many subjects handled by the
committees: There was a COM
r@aittee on crops and practices on
crop lands that took UP soil fertil-
ity building crops, erosion control
crops, forages such as grasses and
Iegurnes tree and shrub paintings,
shelter belts and noxious weed
control. 1t went into the problem
of strip farming, seeding methods
and the many grazing problems,
There were special reports on
both dry lands and irrigated
lands. This committee dealt with
subjects that interested every rails
er of wheat, oats, rye. flax, pota-
toes, sorghums, millet, peas
beans, alfalfa, clovers, grass, sugar
beets, cotton. rice, peanuts or
chard fruits, vineyards and a hum

The committee on range con
o.rvation went thoroughly into the
needs Of the cattle men and al
range users and their relation:
with the forestry service. Their

crops as sugar beets.
The committee on procedure
on cooperation between nation
states and counties, and on pro

great work in a short time.

eral times before, but never with quite
the same glowing feeling as was put
into it yesterday. The continuity Of
idea was unbroken from the first note
to the last and the exquisite poetry,
the unforgettabe themes, reiterated
by one soft-toned instrument after
another, the moments Of musing. or
the gloriously passionate outbursts
were delineated with beauty and senti-
ment.
Equally noble in treatment was the
orchestra's playing Of the Bach Grave

forth the full sorority Of the instru-

and Liadov's "The Enchanted Lake"

the orchestra exerted itself to create
the proper atmosphere with special
emphasis on details.
The lively and stirring "Polonaise," I"
from Tchaikowsky's famous opera,
"Eugen Oniegin," provided q splendid
climax and the public was ready with
its enthusiastic appreciation. After
several recalls, DR.. Kinder offered to

G7"'ring UP the typed letters
that were ready for Mr.. Vance's
signature, Kitty Mack pushed open
the door leading to his Office.
1.-TWO letters, strictly personal,
without instructions for reply were

over" the girl said briefly, laying
the envelopes before her chief. One,

other was long and narrow, a blue
edge outlining the stiff cream col

thin. carefully shaded and a Bit
tremulous, both paper and char
acters telling that to the sender
letter-writing was an infrequent and
serious event.
Mr.. Vance, picking up the let
ters with evident reluctance,
weighed them in one hand while in
an absent-minded way he pushed an
electric button in the desk dial be-
side him, releasing it quickly with a
jerk and exclamation Of pain. The
sharp point of a holly leaf had
pierced his thumb, and the blood
drop that followed matched the color
of the little cluster of berries on the
sprig that had become wedged in the
dial.
Puzzled by the presence Of any
thing so out of place on his desk,
Vance glanced about him for a solu-
ton, saw another leaf clinging to his
coat sleeve and also the stain of ber-
ries on the fioor-then he remem
bered that an out-of-town man who
had been waiting for him on his ar
rival had carried a bunch of holly
wreaths-a fact that would have
passed unnoticed except for the fn-
ger prick. When the door-boy, in
precise uniform. answered the call,
he was ordered TO remove the
offending sprigs OF holly without
delay.

Stock Averages
BY VICTOR EUBANK,


NEW YORK, July 31.-A selling
movement inaugurated by farm imple-
ment and can issues took the starch
out Of today's stock market.
While assorted specialties managed
to retain part of their early gains,
losses Of / to around 4 points were
plentiful at the heavy close. Transfers
were around 1,550,oo0 shares.
The list looked as though it in
tended to resume the advance follow
ing an active opening. But weakness
soon cropped out in isolated spots and
inspired liquidation elsewhere.
Those issues that bucked the down.
ward movement apparently were in
spired by generally good industrial
news pertaining to individual situa-
tions.
The fast that activity was not pro-
nounced in declining fiurrieS and that
number Of stocks held support
throughout helped to sustain bullish
sentiment.
The motors backed water with the
rest as Grams reported slight re-
cession in automobile production this
week.
Principal losers included American
