kRUSE LOOKS
into COMPLAINTS
OF Beet GROWERS
State Commissioner of Agri-
culture Inspects Methods
Used by Professors in Com
putting Tares and Dockage
OF Growers Beets.

| Returning from a Today trip during
which he inspected particularly the
methods employed by the sugar COM
panies in arriving at tare and dock
age deducted from the beets grown in
various sections of the state, Commits
sioner of Agriculture Albert H. Kruse
reports that while the complaints of
growers are in the main, justified,
solutions may be found to the difficult
ties which may remove them to the
satisfaction of all concerned.
Mr. Kruse has released to The
Voice, the following statement of his
findings:
Three of the five sugar companies
in the state have started taking sam
pies of sugar beets into a central tar
ing station at the factory. To mini
mize the moisture loss one uses
rubber lined bag and the others
parafin treated bag.
Two companies using the central
taring station method of working the
samples installed power driven steel
brushes to clean the beets. The farm
ers objected to the power driven
being too severe. 1t not only re-
moved the dirt but also some of the
sugar beet. At this factory the
brushes were removed and the beets
were cleaned with the old method of
brushing by hand. At the other fac
tory, using power driven steel brushes
after the growers objected to their
use, the company reduced their speed
from 600 to $50 revolutions per min
ute.
The other two companies determine
the tare at the receiving stations.
Top tare as taken by the majority
of the companies, especially of beets
under u inches in diameter, is not
meeting with the approval of the
growers.
Tare scales is another item that is
causing dissatisfaction. One company
is using a light scale, known as
dairy scale, to weigh samples but an
other has obtained and is using the
very latest type of scale with a built
in device by which the operator by
pressing a button, can cause to be
printed on the ticket accompanying
the sample, the exact weight to the
ounce.
l believe that all the problems III
regard to top tare and dockage, now
can be worked out by taking
all the good features inaugurated re-
Gently at the different factories and
putting in practice some new methods |

came up for hearing. The
lawyers opposing the action
represented officially the Fra
ternal Order of Eagles in
Montana and patriotic organi-
cations in Yellowstone county
and several appeared as friends
of the court, representing I'M
officially, Elks lodges in sew
eral cities in the state.
Attorneys representing the two
Lewis and Clark county officials and
the attorney general filed a motion
ton to quash the alternative writ of
mandate. This move was the answer
of the officials to the order of the
court to either stop the gambling said
to be conducted in the lodge rooms
or to show cause why they should
not do So Attorney for the complain
ants in the case was Wellington D.
Rankin and Lester H Lobe repre-
scented the lodges complained against
and the officials.
The attorneys asked permission of
the court to submit briefs and con-
duct oral arguments in defense of the
hickey law which exempts religious,
charitable and fraternal organizations
from the penalties provided for vio-
lation Of the anti-gambling laws of
the state. The complaint filed by the
Helena taxpayers also attacked the
constitutionality of the section of the
law which grants the exemptions.
Attorneys entered in the case for
the Eagles were National Vice Presi-
dent Lester H. Lobe, Hugh r. Adair,
Henry Lobe, Paul T. Keller, R. Lee
Word, Jr., and Wesley Wertz, all of
Helena; Thomas G. Malice and Walter

Nazis Deplete Europe's Forests;
Show How "NeW Order" Works

Nazis Deplete Europe's Forests,
Show How "New Order" Works
Europe's fine forests are being de
pleted so fast to supply the needs OF
the nazi war machine, that it is now
certain postwar Europe will have to
import several billion board-feet of
lumber annually, it is revealed in re-
ports.
Before the war, Europe was self
sufficient as regards timber, cutting
and replacement by growth balancing
each other. Present timber cutting is
about four times as great as replace
ment by growth, presenting a very
serious situation.
Here are some of the new uses the
nazis have found for wood in the pres
ent war: Production of motor fuel
a gas generated by burning wood good
enough for driving trucks and otnel
vehicles. Production of lubricants
from wood tar Manufacture of rayo1
and articificial wool for clothing. Con-
version into glucose for feeding of
livestock.
Hitler's New Order of Europe
the "order" he wants to impose on the
entire worlds being put into opera
lion in the timber field. The contin-
ent is divided into three parts, and it
works as follows:
District No - The Scandinavian
countries. Here the private owners
have not been dispossessed- yet.
The district operates on what the
uazis prefer to call a cooperative
basis" but Berlin determines what
this cooperation shall be. Berlin, for
example, sets the amount OF timber
that each private owner shall denver
10 the nazis. Needless to say, the pll-
vate owners obey; they know what's
good for them.
District No. 2-"Central Europe.
In addition to Germany proper and
Austria, this district also comprises
the Balkan countries, the Baltic states
of Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonla,
