FARM MARKETING
PLANS DISCUSSED
GREAT FALLS CONFERENCE OF
PRODUCERS AND DISTRIBU-
TORS is HELD

A program designed to bring
orderly marketing of agricultural
produce Ia Great Falls territory
was launched at q meeting In the
courthouse there, attended by more
than so producers, representatives
of distributing agencies, commits
sion and retail merchants and
others. Mayor Julius J. Wuerthner
called the conference to eliminate
misunderstanding between the pro-
ducers and distributors and pro-
vide a greater outlet for agricul-
tural produce.
A general committee was named to
outline a program and make a study
leading to an organization to carry out
the detectives Subcommittee were
also named.
The general committee is composed
of Louis OSness, chairman Of the ag-
ricultural planting commission Of
Thurber, Cascade county agricultural
agent; Gus Newmack, Great Falls
grocer; Ben Peden Of the Greenfield
bench district; F. j. Duval, Great
Falls merchant, and Fred Dufresne,
president OF the Cascade county farm
union.
Mayor Wuerthner explained he had
received complaints as to an inadequate
outlet for farm products and of grow
ers facing competition with produce
from other states. He said that the
formation of a clearing house associa-
ton, serving both growers and dis
tributors, might lead to a better un-
derStanding and to benefits for all
concerned.
Other speakers included S. F. Hook
ersmith, P. c. Bulen, president of the
Great Falls Chamber of Commerce;
G. S. Hanna. Sinms producer; Herman
Lentz, Paul Mcclure of the Northern
Creamery Co.; w. H. Bertsche Jr..
merchant and president Of the Great
Falls Retail Dealers association; Du-
fresno, Thurber, M. j. Peterson, county
agent of Chouteau county; Frank Will
son, agricultural agent of Teton coun-
ty, and others.
Lentz said citizens and consumers of
the area could materially aid the sugar
beet growers by purchasing sugar proc
eSSed by manufacturers purchasing the /
beetS grown in the Great Falls district. /
He declared that this would increase
the revenues of the growers and aid !
In the campaign to obtain establish
ment of a factory In the area. About /
5000 acres are now in sugar beetS, /
whereas about 1000 additional acres I
are necessary before a factory can be |
established

WARM WEATHER HELPS
GRAIN CROPS IN STATE

General condition Of small grains In
Montana Is considered good TO ex-
ceIlen1," the weather bureau and the
bureau of agricultural economics said
IN the crop report.
Rising temperatures and increased
sunshine stimulated growth Of all grain
and grass crops, the report said, and
the warmer weather was particularly
helpful TO backward corn, peas, beans
potatoes and beetS.
GraSshoppers and cr1ckeks were re-
ported becoming active again with the
return OF warm, dry weather. Grass
hoppers have matured rapidly IN some
Of the eastern areas and are beginning
their flights, most Of which have been
IN the southeaSterly direction
Early sown spring grains on drylands
are beginning to head and flax Is
coming into blossom. Winter wheat and
rye are headed out generally with
some lodging In Valley county. Parts
Of Chouteau, Custer and Powder River
counties report better stands OF spring
grains than winter wheat.
General conditions of livestock con-
ttnues good to excellent although some
fairly large losses of sheep were re-
ported in connection with the recent
cold, wet weather following shearfng.

Improved business conditions in
the northwest during May are re-
ported by the ninth district fed
eral reserve bank, in its monthly
review. The improvement, the
summary said, was marked by in
creased farm cash income, larger
building operations, more motor
vehicle sales, and a greater volume
of merchandise sales.
Business volume levels exceeded those
of the two preceding months and Of
May, 1888. City member bank reserves
reached new high record levels and
farm income was up IA percent while
farm product prices showed mixed
trends.
@The volume Of business in May In
our district, measured by our season.
ally adjusted indexes was well above
the level of May last year and was a
little larger than in April, the report
said "All of our indexes were higher
than in May, 1893, and we're higher
than IN April with the exception of
those rejecting trade at city depart
ment stores.
Trade Volume Larger
Our "a city bank debts index was
the highest for May since 1887 and
with the exception Of that month was
the highest for May since 1881. Both
the country lumber sales and the rural
store sales indexes reflect
ed an unusually large volume of trade
in those lines the lumber index being
the highest for May since 1929"
The report shows 10 percent larg-
er volume of building contracts than
in May last year, Increased public
works and building permits in SIS
cities more than twice as large as in
May year ago. Department store
sales were reported IL percent higher
than in May last year for the district
as a whole.
Business failures were larger In num-
Der in May than in April but the
volume of liabilities was sharply re-
duced compared with that month and
only two-thirds as large as In May,
1888. Nonfarm real estate foreclosures
IN April were a third less numerous
than in March and somewhat fewer
than in April, 1898.
Farm Income Greater
Farmers cash income from seven
products Excluding government pay
nents) increased over the seasonaIly
ow April level and was 6 percent
higher than in May, 1885, Dairy prod
let income was a little lower than
April because of small reductions in
both volume and price and potato in
come. as usual, shrank rapidly during
May because of the ending of the
market season. Income from grains and
1ogs was well above the April level.

Oak Bullet Calls
BY LILLIAN COX ATHEY.

II you wish to have hobby that
Is really interesting, collect gals
They are unusual in shape, have no
odor, do not attract troublesome
insects and are very interesting. In
deed, once you begin collecting them,
you realize what strange little crea-
lures the architects are.
There are many kinds of gals,
and they may be found on top of
leaves, or on the undersurface, in
twigS, on branches and stems. You
may know with absolute certainty
that an oak bullet gall will be found
in special location, and that not
one builder will vary in the con-
struction of its home one 'jot or
title" from the pattern created by
the first ancestor. That makes it
easy to identify your gall home.
If you find the residence occu-
pied, you have the clue to the con-
structor Besides, you also learn
what species is the maker of this
. type of gall, no matter where you
kfnd it.
When gall resident is at home
there is no side door to indicate or
betray the fact. The open door is
an absolute sign that the owner
has flown. 1t has left the place to
seek a mate and perhaps become
the food of rowing bird or larger
insect The empty house is never
, used again.
There are many types of gall in
sect mothers, but their offspring do
Rot resemble them in their youth
at all. The adult that finally
emerges from the little side door
of the home is the type you will
learn to know as the constructor of
the gall.
If a mite is the maker of the gall,
1t will have four pairs of legs when
1t seeks the sunshine and freedom.
It does not possess wings and is
very small. If an aphid made the
gall, the adult will have three pairs
of legs and may or may not have
wings. You will have to decide
what gall homes you will study thor
oughly and then reach out for
broader fields.
The oak bullet gals may be found
on oak twigs wherever oak trees
grow, and you will have so little
difficulty securing these fine golden
brown homes that you will wonder
what allied your eyesight for these
many years that you noticed so few
of them before.
\ The story of the gall residence is
tie same as far as the modelling and
formation are concerned. That is
what makes the story so intriguing.

still clouded in mystery to save
all the vital juices for itself. The

can. Inside the gall walls you will

INTEREST SLIPPING

No-Hum w6wish the world would
find something new to get all eX-
cited about. People are getting very
tired of all the war news and talk
Stirring up a fight depends on
starting the action at the psyche
logical moment-which is pretty
soon after everybody gets good and
hot. Every moment after you pass
that point the chances for a fight
grow less and less.
Last Superintendent December
and even as late as last month we
could have started a war in Europe
The munition manufacturers had
the world statesmen by the tail
swinging them around until they
were dizzy drunk. They were ready
to fight or do anything.
The public was swept in on the
whirl-but vision is clearing up and
there is a noticeable return to sane
living again. Our officials, in
toxicated on the war idea, are still
trying to whoop things up but the
average man on the street is tired
of reading headlines about threats,
treaties preparedness and training.
If we could start and finish a
war in couple of days we possibly
could have one. Folk would get
into it as sort of lark to get
away from the hum-drum of daily
routine but, as with a vacation
after a short time most of us are
ready to settle back into doing
something peaceful and construct
ive-at least peaceful. We don't like
to waster so much concern and
time over anything that only con
tributes to a state of unrest and
uncertainty and an increased tax.

is as much part of defense as
ornaments themselves. If another
form of government can present a
united front in it's attack on de
mocracy, the attack must be met
by united democracy, or witness
the fate Of Spain. If the people
OF this country. feel secure there
will be no internal strife.
What would happen If this
country would fall under the rule
of a dictator? Dictatorship involves
cost which the American will never
pay-the blessed right of being able
to say or do as we please. By that
| mean freedom of speech, press, and
religion. Under a dictator's rule our
youth would be cast into concen
tration camps and our capital con-
fiscated. With an adequate nation
al defense we need not fear an
aggressor nation.
The people of the U. S. should
be thankful that a national de-
tense program is being sponsored
to protect them and posterity in
stead of feeling that a national

anti-aircraft guns, tanks, and
ammunition.
80 million dollars will be invested
in special orders from certain
factories, such as clothing, food
and other such war materials.
million dollars will be used to
improve army coast defenses in
Panama, Hawaii, and the United
States.
The Navy has been allotted $685.
100000 of which 100000 will be
used for navy planes. 100000 will
be used to strengthen naval bases
in outlying possessions including
Guam, Hawaii and others. The de-
Tense program would almost double
our present fleet of army and navy
planes In defense of the plans for
two fleets, a Pacific fleet and an
Atlantic fleet it absolutely sound
and practical in every way. Without
an Atlantic fleet in case of an
enemy attack of the Pacific fleet
would be compelled to patrol the
Atlantic seabOard thus weakening
the Pacific coast defenses and not
adequately protecting either coast
An al,ocation of $40, 100000 has
been made for the purpose Of train
ing 10000 citizens as air pilots. 1t
is better to prepare soldiers ir
leisure and prepare them well, than
in haste and poorly. At the entry
of the United States into the
Word War soldiers were trained
in such haste they were not give
time to realize what they were
getting into. The least we could do
is give our future cannon fodder a
chance to know what they are fac
ing. That is why $10,000000 has
been set aside for training pur-
poses. A hastily trained man is
not an efficiently trained man.
Twenty million dollars will be
used for strengthening the forces
protecting the Panama canal in
Guiding housing for the increased
rsonn |. The reason for
strengthening the forces in the
Panama Canal zone is obvious. The
forces that are stationed at the
Canal are not sufficient to protecr
the canal should we engage il
armed conflict. Since the Canal
connects the Atlantic seaboard with
the Pacific coast the enemy woul1
be sure to strike at such vita
spot.

not understand what they are say

Nobody seems to care.
The West is more modern. We

People in the South are poor
There still remain a few of the
old southern plantations, but they
are not representative of the South
as it is today. Those cd planta
tions exist much more in song and
fancy than in fact. Most of the
farms are small. The houses would
not stand the rigors of northern
winter. The clothes would not turn

OF course it will mean heavy
government expenditures and adj ID
taxes, but it would not mean b II
so much as the cost of losing II
democracy. After all, Euro Je
borrowed from the United States
an enormous sum of money to cary
on the World War which the
financiers of this country did not
resent Why shouldn't We use all
available money to our own ad-
vantage in the form of internal
solidarity and strong national de-
Tense.
Preparedness for any and all evil
is the basis of true patriotism.
Aiming for protection does not
mean we are TO become an agrees
sor nation. Had England been pre-
pared the Munich agreement would
not have been necessary and the
ACKNOWLEDGMENT Of Czechoslavakia
could have been avoided. If other
nations know that the United
States is prepared for war they
will hesitate to encroach on her
territory.
