New Hide, Fur Company
Is Latest City Enterprise

Plentywood's newest industry and
business concern is the Midwest Hide
and Fur Co., recently established by
Glenn Buck, of Minot, N. Dak., and
Leo Donaldson, of Plentywood.
The two young men have estab-
lished headquarters in the former
Plentywood Laundry building and
from all indications they are enjoying
a thriving business.
Thousands of rabbits are being
bought by the concern. Two skin
ners" are employed, The rabbit hides
are taken to Minot, N. Oak, where
they are sold and shipped &c eastern
markets.
The Hide and Fur company has a
truck which operates in Sheridan,
Daniels and Roosevelt counties each
week to pick up furs. Farmers in this
territory now have a direct outlet for
their furs with the establishing Of the
company here.
Enterprising youngsters have taken
to the ~coulees with rifles and are bag
ging jack rabbits. They bring seven
! cents apiece at the local market.
Manufacturers within the past two
years have found many uses for the
one-time regarded as useless jack
rabbit. The furs are used in the man.
ufacture of clothing. The ~carcasses
make good fertilizer and are shipped
extensively. Montana rabbit hides are
in demand in England. The English
men have also found many uses for
them and carload after carload of pelts
are shipped across the Atlantic.

WPA Project Here Is In
Full Swing, Many Working

Works Progress Administrations
newest project, construction of sani-
tary houses, approved by the state
board of health and sponsored by the
U. S. Bureau of Health, is under way
in Sheridan county.
Two crews Of ten men each are en-
ployed in Plentywood. j. Franc Muir
ray is county supervisor in charge.
Skilled carpenters and masonry work
ers are employed. Carpenters and &C.
ment workers are paid $55 for Sc
hours work and helpers are paid S45
for GO hours work. The privies are be-
ing built in the Louis Smith machine
shed.
From all indications the project is a
highly practical one. According to the
set-up those who want a well-con-
structed sanitary house, whether in
rural communities or towns, can get
them at a nominal cost.
WPA carpenters and workers do the
building and installing. Owners pay for
the material only. The total cost to
owners is figured at approximately
$22, which is exceedingly low. The
privies are built with a concrete base,
are strictly sanitary and fy-proof and
built of the best of materials. The base
and concrete work alone weighs more
than 1000 pounds, when completed
with timber will weigh nearly a ton
and an exceptionally good house.
From all indications many will be
built. Property owners, where modern
facilities are not available, are taking
advantage of the opportunity to secure
them. Due to the demand it is ex-
pected that the project will continue
for some time.

EARLY ACTION ON
seed LOANS NEED Of
SHERIDAN FARMERS
But Little Seed Wheat Stored
In Elevators In This
County

Whether Sheridan county farmers
are to benefit from the federal gov
ernment's offer to sell four million bu-
shells of wheat for seed in the north
west depends on a number Of factors,
most important of which is the speed
of congress in passing seed loan legis-
lation it was learned today in a sur
vey of this section.
So far no action has been taken to
order any of the wheat made avail
able last week when the government
offered to sell the No. / wheat held
by the surplus commodity corpora
ton. 1t is believed that local dealers
will not order until they learn def
nitey there will be a demand for the
seed.
The demand will hinge partially on
the speed in enacting the seed loan
law. If seed loans are to be delayed
as they were last year many farmers
will plant the light wheat on hand
rather than wait for money to buy
better seed, but if loans are granted
promptly there will probably be con-
siderable demand for good seed.
A survey reveals that eleva-
tors have practically no seed on hand.
Government seed wheat, which wa
stored in Sheridan county elevators
was shipped east for storage. Accord
ing to estimates received here We'd
nesday the government has a million
and a half bushels of Ceres excellent
seed wheat in storage and a like
amount of Marquis and more than a
million bushels of Durum. Advance
fgurers are that the wheat will be
sold at $1.10 at Minneapolis or Du-
luth. Efforts are now being made to
get a reduced freight rate on seed to
midwest stations. A freight reduction
would make it possible for farmers to
secure good seed wheat at a slightly
higher price than what could be
bought locally, al IN moss ntancos
not up to as high a standard for seed
ing purposes. The price of $1.10 per
bushel for seed at Minneapolis or Du-
luth plus regular freight rates would
make the cost to farmers much higher
than local seed on hand. What good
seed wheat there is in Sheridan coun-
ty farms will be used by possessors
for their own use.
If seed loans are to benefit Sheridan
county farmers the bill must be
passed and approved by Feb. Is. From
that time two weeks will be required
for the printing and distribution Of
loan and application blanks and adj
ditional month for approval of loans,
making April l the earliest date when
money would be available. Delay last
year in getting loans resulted in heavy
crop damage in many parts of the
country.
May Use Light Seed Wheat
Light seed wheat can be used for
seed if ideal weather conditions pre-
vail, is the opinion of county agents,
but it has no stamina and cannot re-
sist freezing and thawing and dry
weather. The wheat will terminate as
well as No. / but farmers who use it
are in danger Of losing their crop
through the lack of stamina in the seed.
