WHEAT VOTE
IMPORTANCE
IS STRESSED
Wagner Urges All Growers to
Cast Referendum Ballots
on Quota May 2.
Location of Storage Space for
1912 Crop Expected to
Be Problem.

Importance of every eligible Valley
county wheatgrower participating in
the marketing quota referendum on
May 2 was stressed this week by
Thomas A. Wagner, chairmen OF
the Valley County AAA committee.
although Montana is che CT the
nations most important wheat
states. the number of growers is
comparatively small. compared to
the number CT farms growing wheat
in the non-commercial wheat areas
of the middle west and other pop
ulouS farming centerS. If the opln-
ions Of Montana growers are to be
effective, it is therefore necessary
that every eligible voter participate
in the referendum" Mr.. Wagner
said.
I'VE usually think of the western
states as the only ones who grow
wheat, but few CT us stop to re-
alize that the majority of the wheat
farms in the nation are east of
the Mississippi. According to the
1910 census, the state of Ohio, for
example, has more farms raising
wheat than Washington, Oregon,
California, Idaho, Nevada, Utah,
Colorado, Wyoming and Montana
combined.
Huge Supply on Hand
According to latest department
CT agriculture estimates, the supply
of wheat for the marketing year
beginning July l will be nearly a
billion and a half bushels, the larg-
est in history. Total disappearance
for the coming year, including all
domestic uses and possible exports,
is not expected to exceed 700 million
bushels, leaving a prospective sur
plus on July l, 1943 about equal
to a whole years normal supply.
"a report of grain stocks on Mcnt-
ana farms IN January l, 1912
showed a supply of more than 49,
900, 900 bushels, compared to an av-
erage of ID, 000, 900 bushels. Finding
storage space for the 1912 crop
is expected to be a serious problem
in many parts of the state.
I'm Valley county cur elevators
are nearly filled 10 capacity. With
1941 warehouse loan wheat and with
the liquidation CT 1910 extended
farm storage leans after April 80
all available storage will be taken.
Farm storage space Is pretty well
filled with 1941 farm storage lean
wheat and the present outlook is
that a large part of the 1,025, 900
bushels under loan now stored en-
farms in the county will be re-
sealed and loans extended to April
30, 1943.
with this in mind it would seem
that a large part of cur 1912 crop
must be stored en- the farm and
farmers should be on the alert to
provide themselves with ample stor-
age space before they start to har-
vest their 1912 crop.
Marketing quotas are designed to
hold these huge SURPRISES in stcr-
age until needed, instead of allowing
hem to clog the channels of trade,
1emoralizing prices and disrupting
transportation facilities. This is es-
oecially important at the present
when all production, stor-
lge and transportation facilities
ire needed for increased produce
ion of farm products necessary to
war effort"
