Murray Writes
On Wheat Question

In a letter dated January 10,
Senator James E. Murray of
Montana wrote concerning the
subject of establishing quotas
on Canadian wheat imports to
all western senators.
Senator Murray's letter read
as follows:
LAS a senator from one of the
great wheat producing states, I
am calling your attention to the
importance of immediate action
by the Senate of H. R. It'll,
Calendar No. 1890.
Recently officials of the De-
partment of Agriculture ap-
peared before the United States
Tariff Commission to. urge the
immediate establishment of
quotas on imports of Canadian
wheat. There is a question as to
whether the Commission has
the legal authority under exis-
ting statutes to declare such a
quota in effect. Existing law
authorizes the establishment of
quotas when imports injurious
to American market actually are
occurring. The enactment of H.
R. TIL would provide authorize
ton to establish quotas when
the Commission determines
that large imports are practical
ly certain to occur.
THE Importance of immed-
late action on the bill is clear
ly evident when one considers
that there are forty million bu-
shells of Canadian wheat in
bond now in the United States.
This wheat is not in bond for
milling but may be sold on the
market upon payment of the
duty. If the United States mar
ket price should rise as much as
five cents. or if the Canadian
market should drop by that
amount, Or if a combination of
a rise in the American and a
drop in the Canadian market
should occur and result in such
a differentiation between the
two markets. we can expect
immediate imports of large
quantities of wheat from Can
ada. A sufficient change in the
rate of exchange between the
two countries would have the
same effect.
In addition to the forty mil
lion bushels Of wheat now in
this country that would be
dumped on the market, I I'M
derstand that Canada has lao
million bushels stored in ele-
vators near the border and
ready for immediate export
You can readily see that the
flooding of the American mar
ket with this wheat would have
a disastrous effect on the price
that our own farmers will re-
ceive. For the first time in sew
eral years the American farmer
has an opportunity to obtain a
decent price for his wheat, and
in my Judgment it would be a
catastrophe for him to lose this
opportunity because of a legal
technicality which prevents the
Tariff Commission from taking
action to establish quotas.
1.-THE danger of such exports
from Canada occurring is i'm
minent. It is my understanding
that the wheat referred to
above is held by a few pools and

MANY VISITORS
Continued from page -

The most successful feeders
tour and program ever staged
in the county was held on Fri
day sponsored by the Holly Su-
gar corporation, Big Horn Coun-
ty Chamber of Commerce and
the County Extension service.
The tour was attended by near
ly 200 farmers, Stockmen, bust
neSSmen and visitors. Stops
were made at six feed lots of
the county beginning at Henry
Steinmetz's farm ter miles
north of Hardin followed by
John Schaak, Henry Dorm,
Macleod Brothers, Fred Dewald
and the Future Farmers feed
lot south of Hardin. Demonstra-
lions in market classifications
of cattle and sheep were made
at two of the stops.
The large number of feed lots
established in this area show
the steady development which
has taken place during recent
years since the construction OF
the local processing plant of the
Holly Sugar corporation.
Further development of the
livestock feeding industry in
Big Horn county, feeding prac-
tees and the relation of the
feeding industry were features
emphasized in addresses given
at the program held il the
afternoon, at which a number
of agricultural experts ap-
peared, and which was presided
over by County Agent George

St. Oldf Church
To Be In Billings

The internationally famous
St. Olaf choir is scheduled to
sing in the auditorium of the
Billings high school on Tues
day, January %, at 800 and
8:15 o'clock.
At this time each year this
musical organization usually
travels in the East, where for
the past number of years, ap-
pearances have been made at
the Metropolitan Opera house
in New York City. .
It is seldom that a group Of
such fame tours such a sparsely
settled region as this, and, &C
cording to those who arranged
the concert, it has taken four
years to persuade the choir to
make this trip.
Commentators reviewing the
St. Olaf choir are unanimous
in their praise. A Chicago jour.
nalist states, "The st. Olaf
choir is unrivaled in a field
where choral bodies are legion"
The choir is composed of rs
men and IS women, all of whom
are students at st. Olaf college.
The personnel of the choir
changes each year as students
graduate and others replace
them. The conductor is DR.. F.
Nielius Christensen, who has
directed the choir since its be-
ginning and who has achieved
recognition as an American
composer of choral music.
He and his choir have made
two European tours.

the livestock industry received
its greatest impetus following
the Civil War and that the
packing industry was founded
at about the same time. He Sug-
gested that the buying of proper
stock is extremely important
to the feeding industry and
that a feeding period of eight
to ten months is necessary in
the case of cattle to produce
quality beef. Mr.. HablaS de-
clared that the packers great
est contribution to the live
stock industry is the ever-pres-
ent market which it affords.
Following Mr.. Hablas' talk,
Art Bayne of the Central Coop
erative Marketing association OF
St. Paul, Mimi, spoke briefly
of the market demands and
classification of lambs, warn
ing feeders to guard against
the marketing of diversified
lambs at the expense of lower
prices.
DR.. R. T. Clark, head of the
animal husbandry department
of Montana State college, gave
a report of lamb feeding tests
at the Huntley experiment sta
ton during the past two years,
in which he gave the relative
values of home grown feeds.
Jack Maynard of the Mayn-
ard Brokerage company at Bill
lings and one oi the best in
formed men on feeding of live
stock in the Intermountain and
irrigated sections of the coun-
try, discussed the value of man
ure as a by-product Of feeding
and its Importance in main
tanning the fertility and produc-
tivity of our soils.
Howard Lewis, extension live
stock specialist, closed the pro-
gram by paying tribute to the
packing industry for its COOP
GRAFTON with StockgroWerS.
Speaking of the feeding of live
stock, he asserted that the ir-
rigated valleys of Montana are
destined to become one of the
greatest feeding grounds of the
United States. Referring to the
sugar beet industry in its re-
lation to feeders, he said that
the raising of sugar beets and
stock feeding are intertWined
and that stock feeding is neces-
sary to supplement sugar beet
profits. Tests have shown, he
said, that sugar beet by-pro-
ducts are valuable in feeding
when supplemented with other
home grown feeds.
Feeders and visitors were
guests of the Chamber of Com
merce and the Holly Sugar cor
poration at a dinner served at
noon by the Ladies' Altar So
ciety in the dining room of the
St. JoSeph's church, where the
program was given in the af-
ternOon.
A large number of visitors
from outside the county atten-
ded the Corn and Seed show,
educational programs and the
livestock feeders tour.
The various committees in
charge of the exhibits and the
program deserve much credit
for their part in making the
| show a success.

DIED
WILLIAM FRANKLIN ADAMS

WILLIAM FRANKLIN ADAMS
William Franklin Adams died at
his home in Mt. Lake Park on Satur-
day, April 6, after a lingering illness.
He was employed a number of years
ago at tn tannery at Hutton where ne
broke his hip about 1918 and since
that time had been a semi-invalid. He
conducted a grocery store at Hutton
for several years following his acct
dent.
The deceased was born March 5,
1866, in Tucker county, w. Va, and
was aged IA years. He was married to
Laura Jane Roy, to which union were
born five children, all of whom sur
vive: Mrs. Lester Shatfer, Potomac
Park; John Adams, James Adams,
and Charles Adams, Cumberland; and
Mrs. H. NJ. Bovey, Waynesboro, Pa.
Also surviving are Is grandchildren
and great grandchildren; two BROTH
ers, Luther Adams, Rowlesburg, w.

CONTRIBUTIONS

The citizens and business men of
town value highly the services the
members of the fire department render
from year to year. The fremen spend
MANY hours each year in service to
others. for which they get no remune-
ration whatever, except the satisfac-
ton of doing a valuable good turn for
the community.
Upon rare occasions they ask the
public's assistance and cooperation.
One Of these occasions is at hand as
the fremen begin to prepare for their
annual celebration during fourth OF
July week. Their demands will be
reasonable.
Merchants and business men, it
seems, are always being called upon
to'.contlibute to this or that, in the
form of advertising, some Of them
worthy projects, some Of them I'M
worthy, and some of them, just
projects. The merchant must use his
Judgment in placing his contributions
where they are worthy and where he
can see a just return on his invest
ment, especially when it comes to
placing money for advertising
purposes.
For instance, charging for an ad-
've&tisement in a program for public
event at the rate of $4,000 for a page,
in our opinion, almost approaches eX-
tortion and merchant should be con-
WINGED that the number of programs to
be"distributed would justify such a
rate.
The firemen, on the other hand, are
asking just half this amount. The
merchants must use their best judg-
ment in this as well as in many other
matters and place their contributions
where it is justified.

fact that the wind is sometimes too
strong and takes a few magazines and
dishes along doesn't make much differ
ence. l get my house clean, and l
have time left to always get to Civic
club meetings"
Zone way to save" says Mrs. W. W.
Grant, sis to wash blankets in April.
Just sprinkle them good with soap,
hang them out on the line and the
April showers do the rest. The SCOT
from the neighbors furnaces can
usually be brushed off after they dry.
They dry easily in three days and we
don't mind sleeping cold for two
nights-much."
All this news was very enlightening
to me, although l felt sure that my
wife could have won the prize for the
most short cuts, but she wouldn't
enter the contest I suggested tell
ing them that one of the best short
cuts was to have high niantles in all
parts of the house where nobody could
see the top, making cleaning unneces-
sary, and to always have cracks ir
the baseboards where the furnace dirt
keeps coming up all winter long, and
then there would be no use to clean
except in June, and by that time every
body would be out of doors and
wouldn't be coming in the house at all.
Another short cut l suggested she
mention was saving time by having
ones husband do the dishes and make
the beds.
Yes, the short cuts to homemaking,
I'll admit, are numerous. But there
mustn't be too many, or what will the
women do with more leisure time than
they now have?
Cutest remark of the week; Paul
Turney, aged 5, looked down Sunday
on the street where he had just ac-
complished something of which he was
proud: 81 made a bug dead"
&*#
Mt. Lake seems to be stirred up
about the street improvements there.
Some time ago the council approved
a WPA project for certain streets.
The project was approved by the gov
eminent, so a councilman says. Just
recently, this councilman continues,
the mayor of the Park, without APP
prevail of the council, substituted an
other improvement project which has
since been approved by the govern
ment in place of the original. The one
now approved by the government, but
not approved by council, calls for an
improved road running past the
mayors home, enroute from the bowl
ing alley to the lake, which road was
not in the original.
Maybe the mayor had reasons. The
councilman says there are now two
petitions in the Park, one says the
signers want the road past the mayors
house, the other one says the signers
don't. The council meets tonight to
decide. There ought to be hot time
in the Mt. Lake Council room tonight.

'eShOrt CUTS

The Civic Clubs prize contest of
two weeks ago in soliciting the prize
homemakers of Oakland to let
the rest of the women in on some short
cuts to homemaking by writing out
their ideas in detail, brought in a lot
more replies than they could use at
their last meeting.
After the Civic club had adjourned
Scoop snooped through a lot Of the re-
plies sent in and was amazed that
tmee-fourths of them hadn't received
prize However, there is no prize
like well-deselved publicity.
Mrs. Paul Naylor finds her "short
cut" in her window cleaning, She
writes 81 just never bother to try ard
scrape off the B. and O. smoke dirt
that blows my way. Since l get glass
wholesale l just wait six months and
when they get so black that can sell
the pieces to people to look at eclipses
Of the sun, | just knock them out and
have new ones put in. find this saves
at least two hours each week which |
can devote to more serious business"
Mrs. Karl Kahl saves on ironing.
~ Just iron the collars and cuffs on
my husbands shirts, make him wear
vest all the time, and let the wrink-
les go. | find that this makes creases
on the rest of the shirt and makes
a washboard unnecessary in the next
weeks wash.'
Mrs. Howard Riggs writes: Home
making has lots of short cuts and be-
lieve me | use them all. l never clean
except when l have party and then
only use a feather buster on the chairs
expect to use during the evening.
| Floor dirt can always be showed back
under the rugs and people, if they
notice it at all, think the thickness is
on account of the oriental coverings.
My motto is, never clean where peo-
/ pie won't see"
Mrs. Arthur Lawton Writes:# Il
make most of my short cuts on darn
ing socks, or rather not darning socks
There's nothing like allowing air to
get into the feet for healthy arches
After all, what's big hole to little
toe, or a little hole to a big toe? And
when the holes get so big that they
almost meet, l just use the scissors
and then all toes have the proper free
dom. l can always get a good meal
with the time I save"
The Loars contributed this: owe
save time by letting the grass grow
outside, and if there are no cows or
sheep available, then we just get a
moving machine twice a summer.
Burning trash in the right spots also
keeps weeds down and we never have
to bother with them"
Mrs. Ben. Sincell saves time in let
ting nothing accumulate. She writes
81 find it saves time in cleaning each
week by always getting rid of any
thing that don't Immediately have
use for, so therell be no clutter, even
on the third floor"
"My short cut to homemaking,"
says Mrs. Julius Littman, is to rely
on nature and the good old west wind.

up over the hill, which is often enough,
