the Farm Bureau reported 100000
members in 40 states. State organi-
cations, however, are autonomous and
often repudiate the national program.
In Texas, the State Farm Bureau Fed
GRAFTON in convention pledged its sup
port to the Farm Security Admins
tration.
When the county agents took over
the operation of the AAA program,
they practically ceased being agricul-
tural experts and began using their
offices to build up membership in the
Farm Bureau. Letters were sent out
on letterheads of the department of
agriculture urging farm people to join
the Bureau. Threats were reported
to have been made that unless farm
ers joined the Bureau, the govern
ment benefits would be withheld
Supporting the New Deal' in agri-
culture solely because of government
subsidy payments and always critical
of any effort made by the government
to help the little man on the land,
the Farm Bureau went along for eight
years supporting the Administration.
The break is now in the open. The
department of agriculture has issued
a memorandum forbidding County
Agents and other officials on its pay
roll from serving as officers of any
farm organization.

The hope that remains with the

grand crop for that sandy soil. But
when it began to pour into Bismarck,
storage space was seen to be made

Then the city folk began to get busy
and an energetic survey uncovered a
lot of hitherto unknown storage space.
That is about what every town and
city in the wheat area will have to do
before this strangulation of the mar

ON OUR
DOORSTEP
BY PARKER T. ANDERSON

Montana will have the largest win
ter wheat crop in its history If present
predictions are realized. Harvesting
of the crop will be well under way
in the northern tier of counties by
the time this comment is read. A few
years ago field of winter wheat in
the Big Flat area was curiosity.
Today it is commonplace and some
farms have all but abandoned the
hard spring varieties. This has largely
been brought about by methods of
tillage.
Successful growers of winter wheat
use the furrow drill This serves a
three-fold purpose The seed is planted
in the bottom of the furrow and there
fore reaches moisture that would not
be available with more shallow plant
it growing before cold weather sets
in. Snow is caught by the furrow and
the plant is given additional moisture.
When the surface of the fields are
dry and the soil is inclined to drift,
the furrow catches the lighter, humus-
bearing particles of the soil and gives
the young plant fertile mulching at
intervals. This technique was not gen
orally known less than decade ago
but its observance is rapidly bringing
Montana to the front as a producer
of winter wheat
The query is often heard, why raise
soft winter when dark hard northern
spring varieties sell for more money
and usually have a higher protein
content? The answer is complex
Crops sown in the fall are obviously
out of the way of spring work Fall
crops are utilizing moisture the limit
ing factor, before spring paintings are
in the ground Last, but not least,
winter wheat natures three weeks
earlier and is in an advanced stage
when the heat of late June and early
July strikes the uplands of Montana.

The CO-OPTIMIST
of the F. u. c.. t. A.
Unusual Postscript
Is Being Looted
What Pandora Kept
Meeting An EFFICIENCY
Behind Lighthouse

While, at this writing, sporadic re-
ports have come in as to yields on
wheat from Montana and North OAK
ota. there has been no great amount
of 1941 wheat received at the ter
minal markets. South Dakota, being
a few weeks earlier than it's northern
neighbors, has begun shipment of the
new crop but even this has not
reached the volume that, week or
so later, would have been called the
"peak"-if there is to be any such
peak in this year of grace. So I'M
certain are storage conditions and
transportation facilities, that even at
season, shippers indicate desire for
storage but put PS on the shipping
order to sell for cash if no storage
space is available.
Thus it is that lot of wheat which
would bring $115, Minneapolis basis,
for No. l dark northern spring,
through a Commodity Credit Corpora
ton loan, must accept the 81 90 cash
price at the terminal, because there
is no storage space-a requisite for
the making of loan. At the lowest
estimate such "sales" of wheat cause
the producer to lose a minimum of
15c and in many instances more, on
each bushel he is forced to SELL The
fact is, he is being looted because of
the lack of storage space. Those who
buy the wheat outright must have
some place in which to store it until
it goes into consumption. Like the
lonesome little Dutch emigres, in the
popular song: But We Don't Talk
About That" 1t is odd, isn't it, that
the farmer can sell his grain for cash
and take less than its loan value, but
he cannot get storage because there
is none! His elevator, if it wants to
ship a carload of wheat that is to be
sold for cash, can get permit" for
an empty freight car. But if it wants
to ship it for storage in a terminal
warehouse it must provide a blue
print of the bin to which it is going
Some day the U. S. government will
look into this peculiar state of af-
fairs-long after the farmer has been
"taken"-and will shake a finger at
the outfits that did the phenagling
and say Naughty, naughty"
Which is, after all, rather long
winded way of letting you farmers
know that the embargo is on. If it
isn't grasshoppers, or drouth, or black
stem rust, or habits an embargo.
Yet the picture is not without it's ray
of hope. When Pandora, the sassy
thing, opened box that was not in

human race, she found, covering in
the corner of the empty box that

RADIANT LIVING
Inns Of Heavenly Calm
By
REV. c. NJ. GRIFFITH
Cecilton, Md.
Cecilton, Md.

You are quite familiar with groups
of little clustering cabins along the
highways for overnight tourists. Per-
haps you have yourself enjoyed the
pleasant quietness and relaxation of
one of these after long trip along
the traffic filled highways.
In these days of "wars of nerves"
days when nervous disorders are TAX
ing such a heavy toll of life, days
filled with countless fears and in
creasing anxieties, is there not need
ed along the highway of daily living
such times where there can be found
rest and nourishment for the spirit
of man as well as for his body?
Many person, wearied by the de-
mands of life has longed for a
."Shangri-La," a place of heavenly
tranquility, completely isolated from
all disturbing thought, where there is
no war, no crime, no greed, no hate,
no selfishness, no fear no anxiety, no
sickness, paradise of JOY where the
warm life-giving sun of Infinite Love
perpetually shines.
Have not you wished for such a
place where you can "get away from
it alp and bask undisturbed in the
contemplation of the beauty, the
wealth, and the glories of the Spirit {?
Thank God, there are such places!
I like to think of them as the Inns of
Heavenly Calm.
Such Inns are scattered all along
the highway of daily life. They are
those snatched moments Of mediation
on spiritual thoughts. They are those
little rest periods devoted to prayer.
They are those few moments spent in
reading the Scriptures. Or it may be
an hour spent at Church.
Stop frequently at these Inns OF
Heavenly Calm and you will find
such refreshment of spirit that your
journey of life will become radiant
with joyousness!

There are occasions, when day is
particularly dull that we serve an
evening meal that seems adequate
and quite in keeping with the day
but then, later in the evening we find
that maybe the dinner wasn't ade-
quate enough after all, as the entire
family takes turns shopping in the re-
frigerator-or complaining about a
certain emptiness that all housewives
recognize as a hunger call. There
just isn't much to do at such time,
but settle down to making nice tray
of sandwiches with either cold milk,
tea or whatever beverage is most
popular in your home. Here are few
sandwich suggestions that might not
be among your repertoire:
Scrambled Egg Sandwich: Chop
small bits of leftover ham and add
to scrambled eggs with very little
mayonnaise or enough melted butter
to make of spreading consistency.
Use white bread.
Bacon :. Applesauce Sandwich:
Spread a slice of bread with tart ap-
pie sauce, cover with thin slices of
bacon and place in hot oven until ba-
con is crisp. Serve at once. A good
cold sandwich may also be made by
