tried for treason"
Nelson's emphatic uttersnce was
hurled during a hearing by a
Senate agriculture subcommittee,

ing the possibilities OF grain alco-
hol as a cheaper source OF syn

plans for making synthetic rubber
out of grain alcohol received
scant consideration from the WPB.

poSal for making synthetic rubber

Announce Loon
Rate For Fluxseed

Loan rates which will average
approximately 1920 on the farm
for the 1912 flaXseed crop have
been announced by the Depart
ment of Agriculture, Chairman
George Miller of the Big Horn
county AAA committee has been
advised.
The farm loan rate in this
area will be based on a rate for
No. l flaxseed of $2.40 per bu-
shell delivered in Minneapolis,
st. Paul, Duluth, Chicago or
Portland. Flaxseed grading No.
2 will be discounted five cents
per bushel and only flaxseed
of the NO. l and No. 2 grades
will be eligible for loans. Loan
values at local stations for flax
seed in storage on the farm or
in the country warehouses will
be determined on the basis of
terminal market rates less
transportation and four cents
per bushel handling costs.
"This announcement of flax
seed loan rates is a further
step in the program to encour-
age a record-breaking produc-
ton of flaxseed this year" Mr..
Miller said. "F1axseed is an
important source of drying oils
which are indispensable in war
time. Previously much of this Oil
was imported from Pacific areas
but the war has curtailed such
shipments. Montana farmers
this year are being asked to
raise 100000 acres of flaxseed as
compared with a 1941 produc-
ton of ISL 900 acres. The Treas
ure state is one of the princi-
pal sources of flaxseed and this
years production will be one of
the states major contributions
to the war effort"
General provisions of the
flaxseed loan program are sim
liar to those in effect last year.
No storage allowance is made
for farm storage and loans Sc
cured by warehouse receipts will
be discounted seven cents a bu-
shell unless they carry an en-
dorsement stating that storage
charges have been paid through
June 80, 1943.
Loans will be made through
January 81, 1913, but only on
flaxseed produced in compli-
ance with Triple-A program reg
ulations. Notes will mature on
demand or June 80, 1943.
