COMMISSIONER
VISITORSHERE
Chief Executive and KruSe Get
First Hand knowledge of
Beet Industry.

On a trip in which it was his
aim to get first hand knowledge OF
the sugar beet industry, Gov. Sam
c. Ford, accompanied by A. H
Kruse, state commissioner of agri-
culture, was in Glasgow Thursday
and Friday.
The governor said they had COW
cred the Milk river valley, inspect
ing dump stations and talking with
farmers, a practice started by MI.
Kruse two years ago.
1T has been a trip in which |
have gained much knowledge and l
believe I have a clearer idea of beet
raising the governor commented.
Second, he said, he was interested
in securing a picture of the farm
labor situation so we can make plans
for next year" in efforts to assure
an adequate supply of such help.
Referring to a recent letter from
Mark Watson, chairman of the
Valley county war council, in which
Mr.. Watson commented on the fact
that many farmers in this section
will abandon hog raising because OF
the present price of barley, Cover
nor Ford said:
so far, I have received no en-
couragement from federal authori-
ties, who have informed me that
they do not contemplate putting
ceilings on any other feed crops.
However, I am going to keep trying"
Mr.. Watson's letter had pointed
out that the ceiling price on hogs
is fixed according to the ceiling price
on corn. Hogs a be fed profitably
on the corn price. But, in this sec
ton the staple feed is barley, much
in price in proportion to
corn and farmers lose money when
feeding it to hogs.
