wheat STOCKS
OCTOBER | AT
new PEAK

Office of the Agricultural Statisti-
clan cooperating with the Grain divi-
sion, Montana state department of
agriculture.
A total of 71,449,000 bushels of
wheat stored in all positions in Mon
tana on October 1, 1941 is the largest
all position storage figure on record
for October l. By the three positions,
October l wheat stocks in grain ele-
vators and small flour mills are 49,
229 900 bushels; in merchant flour
mills, 4,627,00 bushels; on farms, 50,-
$4,000 bushels. Wheat stocks in
each of these three positions are also
the largest on record for October 1.
These record stocks are accounted
for by the 1941 wheat crop of 74,402,-
900 bushels, the third largest in the
history of the state and by carry-over
of wheat from the 1910 crop Con-
struction of additional mill and ele-
vator and farm storage facilities was
general throughout the state this year
in anticipation Of the large crop.

STATEMENT

| We have not as yet reallstlcly
dealt with the problem of adjusting
wheat production las we'll as acres)
to demand, or with the problem of
ad justinq our wheat quota acres to
areas than can efficiently produce
| few other crops than wheat.
These problems must be dealt
with.
During the period Immediately be-
fore use we are launched on a pro-
gram to Increase the production OF
many farm products. This period
offers the best opportunity to make
the needed adjustments In surplus
crops and with the least shock to
producers.
We should plan to use deficiency
crops flor which an increase is
pIanned) to replace surplus crops
and products in areas where such
deficiency crops can be produced as
efficiently as, or more efficiently
than, the surplus crops can be pro-
duced.
AS result of such a plan excess
acres of surplus crops can be re-
duced with little shock and a severe
cut in areas than can produce little
else than wheat becomes less neces-
sary. Excess acres thus released
can be used In the primary wheat
areas to implement such a program
of readjustment.
We suggest that the Department
of Agriculture should give partlcu-
lar thought to the following:
1. The use of subsidy payment
to induce farmers in areas that do
not depend primarily on wheat to
release wheat quota acres perman-
emily.
2. New uses of conservation and
parity payments to bring about the
readjustment.
8. A decision as to whether or NOT
the provision that permits the plant
ing of is acres of wheat can be con-
tinued and yet make the necessary
REIMBURSEMENT.

! For II years commencing with the
1928 legislature, laws were enacted
creating a convict tannery, garment
factory and convict brick making
plant at the Montana state prison
In the building program set up by
the special session of the legislature
1933-34, an effort was made to have
the state school buildings constructed
with convict made brick. Organized
labor countered by issuing notice that
labor would refuse to handle the con-
vict made bricks and bricks made
| by wage labor were used on state
buildings. At this time the peak of
unemployment was on in Montana and
throughout the country.
In 1885, the convict tannery and
shoe factory were disbanded on ac-
count that these plants cost too much
to operate and could not compete with
free labor on account of the lack of
skilled workers to operate the prison
shoe factory and tannery There be-
ing no shoe factories and tanneries
in Montana, outside of the prison, the
necessary skilled workers could not be
made drunk, framed up and given a
long term prison sentence so that the
prison industry could get foremen and
key men to successfully operate them.
The constitution of Montana pro-
hibits the farming out Of convicts to
industry. If it were not for such con-
stitutional provisions, we might ex-
pect Griffenhagen G Associates to
recommend that the convicts be
leased out to contractors and manu-
facturers for their board, so that the
Taxpayers Association might pro-
claim that the cost of operating the
state prison had been reduced, while
the unemployed drew out-of-work COM
pensation.
The report of Griffenhagen & Aso-
ciates on the Warm Spring institu-
ton contains nothing new, the infor-
nation contained therein is what the
people of Montana have known for
years.
Organized labor in Montana espe-
cially the unions of Anaconda and
Butte have repeatedly called the at
tention of the people and legislature
to the situation at Warm Springs.

are lousy. German field artillery is
moved by horses. Every farmer
knows that a work-horse eats four
times as much as a man.
There is no LASTING danger for
us to assert our age old doctrine OF
freedom of the seas for our shipping
wherever we want to sail. We do not
have to take insults to our flag from
Hitler or from any other power.
During the last war at tea party
in Butte, a lady boosted that her
nephew had fought at Chateau Thier-
ry the week before. This peeved a
lady admirer of prominent German
sympathiser who boldly announced
that when the German invasion
comes, Oscar will be Duke of Mon
tana." The United States is far from
Norway. If any of the America First
Spokesman think that they will be the
Quislings here, and help run America
under German domination, they are as
crazy as the fast lady who dreamed
in the last war of being Duchess of
Montana.

mate American method of letting
elected representatives know the will
of the people, succeeded in democrat
ically saving their law.
Now, in order to prevent the en-
forcement of duly enacted law the
corporation people will attempt to use
the courts to hamper and delay en-
pressed will of the majority.
There are politicians in the state
of North Dakota who profess to be
shocked that farmers stoop to such
methods of influencing their repre-
sentatives. But the same politicians
at the methods used by financial and
business interests when these want
legislation that the people would not
support. The use of liquor, together
with related forms of entertainment,
to persuade" the legislators appar-
emily does not shock these warehouses;
in the political game, maybe because
they are used to it. But when farm
ers take the trouble to come to the
state capital and discuss the issues
in the open and let the representa-
tives know their will, that to some
politicians is shocking, maybe because
they are not used to democratic self
government.
The same kind of politician will not
be shocked when the corporation in
terests seek to use a Methodist dea-
coness institution as a cover, under
which they hope to gain what they
failed to gain last winter in Bismarck
when the issue was forced into the
open by farmers who took genuine
interest in their own government. The
Farmers Union people assert that they
welcome a constitutional test of the
anti-corporation law.
The issue Of preserving the family
sized farm, they say, is of such inn
portance that it should not be con-
fused by the charitable sentiments
being deliberately invoked by the tao
tics of the opposition. If the law is
unconstitutional other means to the
same end must be found, different
law or constitutional amendment. But,
they say, 1t is unfair to use a worthy
institution like the deaconess hospital
to cover the tracks of those who seek
to evade sound test of the law.

TRIPLE-A
ELECTIONS
SCHEDULED

Community committeeman to locally
administer the Triple-A program dur
ing 1912 will be elected at community
meetings of county agricultural con-
servation association members on No
vember Is, Chairman R. j. McKenna
of the Montana Triple-A committee
announces.
This year, more than ever, all as
ISOLATION members should recognize
the opportunity and responsibility
they have to participate in these cleo
tions," McKenna said "The commit
teemen that will take office January 1,
1912, will be largely responsible for
carrying the department of agricul-
lures Food for Freedom program to
a successful conclusion. They are the
men who must interpret the program
to every farmer and help plan their
farming so that the largest food pro-
duction goal in the nations history
will be achieved"
"In addition" he continued. they
will have to continue. their usual job
of informing Triple-A program parti-
cipants ON all phases of Triple-A
work"
ITO do these two jobs thoroughly
and efficiently, each community must
elect the best committeeman avail
able. All persons qualifying for pay
ment under the 1941 Triple-A program
are eligible to vote and should take
advantage of their opportunity to help
choose satisfactory committeeman,
he concluded.
A delegate and alternate delegate
will also be elected at each commun-
ity meeting to attend a county con-
vention on December and elect the
county Triple-A committee for 1912.
