Playing the Worker
Against the arrner


The southwest and Pacific
northwest have wheat suitable for
mixing with the high protein
wheat of Montana for which latter
the mills could afford, to- pay @
premiums if they had other wheat
for mixing purposes.
OF course the Montana uvgheat
growers who have a considerable
quantity of 1886 wheat ON hand
plus some 1886 CROP were aroused
and angered at this bold attempt
to- lower the aprice OFT Montana
wheat. And they do not feel any
too kindly toward those organized
labor groups who jumped In TO
help pull the mill chestnuts from
the fire.
Why did not the organized
workers first consult the farmers
and see whether there owerea not
some other way out Tof theGdiffi-
Guilty than the one -prOposed? TO
take fifteen and one-half cents per
bushel from the wheat farmers
plus their protein rpretniu1l1s 10
ASKING q lot.
State President RolDh and d. L.
Manning, representative the Far
mers' Union Terminal Association,
appeared before the. Commission
in opposition to the demnds of the
millers. They were not able to de-
feat the proposal in full but they
did succeed in, getting the reduc-
ton postponed until November
first, and the length, of time in
affect from one hundred twenty
to sixty days
In the meantime steps should be
taken toward effectuating some
other remedy for the situation.
There is a Rlut of wheat in the
Pacific northwest. Some Of that
wheat is of milling quality. The
wheat unfit for American flour
would make good hog feed. There
are a million or more cornless hogs
in the corn belt. Why in the name
of common sense does not the
government pay the freight On
that wheat and permit the farm
ers in the corn belt to buy il at
Washington, Idaho and 8tOregon
prices with no freighto added |?
1t would aseerl that the last
thing that governments ever do Is
to use common ordinary sense in
dealing with emergency problems.

FIN FARMERS UNION HERALD

On August 20 and 81 the Mon
tana Flour Mills, backed -bv sec
lions of organized labor. directly
affected, appeared before the Mon
tana Railway Commission asking
for reduction in freight. rates on
wheat, from Sweet Grass ION the
Canadian border) to Great Falls,
with proportionate reductions to-
other Montana flour milling CEN
tiers.
The freight reduction asked for
was from twenty-one and .onehalf
cents to six cents to become eff
.tectlve September first and be in
effect for one hundred twenty
days. The effect of this reduction
would be to lower the price of
wheat by fifteen and one-haIf
cents per busheI ana Wrpe out all
protein premiums. The premiums
on protein would vanish because
Canadian wheat is not sold on a
comparative protein basis like
ours.
The mills contended that there
was insufficient Montana wheat
to supply their needs, and that in
addition to the scarcity of Monta-
ma. wheat they could not compete
with eastern flour mills, especially
Minneapolis, because eastern
points were using the lower-priced
southwestern wheat which could
not be brought into Montana be-
cause of high back haul freight
costs.
Unless" argued, the mills, 1--WE
can get a supply of Canadian
wheat we cannot. keep our. mills
running, and must close down,
throwing our workers out of em+
-ployment." Ed
Now, the contention IF the flour
mills has a basis of merit. They
are disadvantaged. But is the i'm
portation of Canadian wheat the
only remedy? If the freight rate
from Canada could be lowered to
benefit these mills could not also
the freight rate from Kansas and
other southwestern points be low
cred? And could not the freight
rates from Idaho and Washington
and Oregon be lowered, thus per-
hitting domestic wheat to 90 to
the Montana mills.

DROUTH RECORDS
ARE SHATTERED
Corn and Wheat Yields
lowest ever Recorded in
History - Half Million
Farmers Lose Homes

WASHINGTON. - Several "a
cords have been shattered bv the
present drought, according to
arm Research. in it's special
october drought issue of Facts FOR
FARMERS. Average corn Yields for
the U. S. have dropped to the low
est point ever recorded in the his
tory of the country; for 1896, the
corn yield is set by the govern
ment at 14.8 bushels to the acre
as compared with the all-time
nigh of BIT bushels in 1906 and
the previous low of 1877 in 1884.
Though approximately 10 million
acres were added to corn produce
ton, over and above 1884, produc-
ton for 1886 is estimated at
,458, 295,000 bushels, making it
the smallest crop in the past 55
years.
The yield per acre for spring
wheat dropped to 8.4 bushels per
acre this year the poorest yield
on record. In 1884 the yield for
the country averaged 1912 bushels.
Apples, potatoes and various fruits
and vegetable are in lighter sup
ply than in 1884.
AT least half million farm
families have been stripped of
their resources by the drought, "
says Farm Research. It further
states, Because the present
drought comes right after the des
truction in 1884 as well as other
drought years, its economic eff
fects are much worse"
Farm Research points out the
lack of scientific data is not the
reason for holding up a drought
control program. The gap between
what is known and what is done
continues to get wider; and
though every drought brings with
it a flood of reports, no action has
been forthcoming. Aside from
"crackpot" proposals made for pur-
ely political purposes, the meas
ures recommended have shown
basic agreement. They recognize
IIidL LuS COIlSCTuCC1O1l Oh lakes dIlU
reservoirs offers no cure-all by it
self, and similaly with the plant
ing of tree belts. To be effective
such measures must be combined
with larger programs to control
erosion and to enlarge the size of
farms.
Citing specific counties, Farm
Research finds that from 80 to.
900 of the farms in the dry-far-
ming areas are too small to make
possible the use of soil conserving
practices or to provide decent
income. It is also pointed out that
the Homestead Acts must be
blamed for these small sized
farms in the West. The Great
Plains Drought Committee states
that the Homestead policy which
except land allotments low and re-
quired that a portion of each
should be plowed" was "almost I'm
obligatory VOW of poverty"
