PRINT PAPER
SUPPLY In
FOR A CUT

WASHINGTON - The tonnage Of
print paper newspaper publisher
may use in 1913 will be 100 per cent
of the amount used by him to produce
his net paid circulation in 1871 plus a
three per cent spoilage allowance, the
war production board announced to-
day.
The action was taken through the
issuance of Limitation Order Lr240,
effective January l, which closely fol-
lows recommendations made by the
newspaper industry advisory commit
tee at meeting in Washington with
WPB officials on December 10.
The printing and publishing divi-
sion of WIPE estimates the order will
effect reduction of approximately 10
per cent in current consumption of
print paper, but stressed the fact that
this was an overall estimate for the
industry and by no means intends that
each publisher would be cut 10 per
cent. Under the order, some pub
fishers will be cut more and some
less, depending upon how they use
their allotment of print paper, mat
ter entirely up to them. The great
majority of the weeklies and the small
town dailies will not be affected at
all.

JOINS IN farm
MOBILIZATION

In full accord with the admins
tration's concern for a concerted
drive for increased farm production,
which has prompted the President
to proclaim next Tuesday, January
12, as "Farm Mobilization Day." the
Montana Division of the Farmers
Educational and Cooperative Union
has sent kilograms to all of its
county organizations, urging COM
plete and active cooperation in the
effort.
The purpose of the Farm MobIi-
zation Day is to make every farmer
and farm family aware of the re-
sponsibility resting upon agricuI-
ture is the fight against Fascism.
The county organizations and the
locals of the Montana Farmers I'm
ion will lend every assistance to
local committees and county war
boards in arrangements for an eff
fective and impressive program, and
each state and county USDA War
Board has been Instructed to call
on the officers of the Farmers IN
ion to help in making arrangements
for observance OF the day.

GRAIN Market
PRICES RETAIN
FIRM TOM
Increase in Flour Ceilings
Firms Wheat Prices Further
Mailing Barley in Good
Inquiry; Active Demand
Continues for Feed Grains.

Although trade was light during the
holiday week ended December 81,
grain markets retained the firm tone
during the closing week of the year
which has been in evidence for some
weeks. An increase in flour ceilings
stimulated trade somewhat in the
wheat market and prices gained an
other z C for the week. Cash wheat
prices at Minneapolis are now at loan
levels and a freer movement is an
ticipated of country stocks not under
loan. AT most winter wheat markets
cash prices ranged considerably over
the loan rate and some wheat was re-
deemed. To meet the heaviest live
stock and livestock products program
on record, a good demand continued
for feed grains of all kinds.
CCC loans on 1912 wheat totaled
3S0,049,000 bushels as of December
26. Barley loans covered 12,410,0O0
bushels, of which a little over 1,000,-
900 bushels were in California. Old
wheat held by the corporation was
reported at slightly over 255,OOO,0OO
bushels.
Parity and Farm Prices: Parity
prices as of December Is showed no
change from the November figure and
were calculated in cents per bushel
as follows: wheat 1870; corn 995;
oats SIS; rye 111.6; barley $685. flax
262.0. The average farm prices as of
December Is for these grains were:
wheat 1903; corn SO2; oats Ala; bar
ley 62.2 rye 56.9; flax 1850.
WHEAT: There was material re-
duction in snow coverage during the
week in the main winter belt and
much of the area except the more
northern section is now bare. How
ever there were no damaging tempera-
lures. In parts of the upper Missis-
sippi Valley, melting snow formed ice
sheets which may prove troublesome
if continued long. West of the Rocky
Mountains the grain crop outlook con-
tinues favorable.
The Canadian dominion government
under certain conditions will make
payments of sc per bushel on wheat
used for livestock and poultry feed.
The payments will be made only to
farmers of livestock or poultry feed
ers who do not possess a feed delivery
permit book or who can prove that
they did not sow any wheat in 1912.

ROCKY MOUNTAIN
HOUSEWIVES
NOT BOARDING

| Housewives and grocers of the
Rocky Mountain region were COM
mended this week by Glen W. Collins,
regional administrator for the Office
of Price Administration, for the cor
derby and patriotic manner" in which
they have responded to the govern
ment's appeal to avoid scare buying
and boarding of canned fruits and
vegetables in advance of rationing.
spot surveys indicate that there is
no abnormal buying of the foods for
which the new rationing program has
been announced" Collins said. This
is the strongest possible proof that
the American public has not been
panicked into foolish action and
shows its ready understanding of the
necessity for rationing."
He explained that the rationing pro-
gram for canned, dried and frozen
fruits and vegetables, which is to be-
gin early in February, had to be an
nounced in advance so that work on
details could begin with members of
the vast food distributing industry
and in order to permit training the
one and a half million volunteers who
will handle the issuance of War RAJ
ton Book Two. The new ration book
will contain point coupons which
will permit housewives to select the
type of canned food they wish to OBJ
tain on their ration in accordance with
point values which recognize the re-
lative scarcity of the various rationed
foods.
81 am confident" Collins said, that
the orderly buying of the canned and
other processed foods to be rationed
in February will continue from now
until rationing begins. Rocky Noun
tain housewives should continue buy
ing only what they need, and l am
sure they are accepting in good spirit

PROVIDING SEED
FOR RUSSIA A
NECESSITY

WASHINGTON = A generous and
immediate response by American
seedsmen and farmers to the appeal
of Russian War Relief for seeds fol
planting next spring and summer in
the Soviet Union is absolutely essen
tial," Dr. M. L. Wilson,. director OF
extension work of the department OF
agriculture, said in an address over
the Columbia Broadcasting System
on December 26.
| DR. Wilson is honorary chairman of
the Seed Committee of Russian War
Relief, Inc, II E. 35th ST., New York
City.
Larry Lesueur, CHS correspondent
who has just returned from the Soviet
Union, also said in statement read
ON the same program that the Rus
sian need for seeds is critical.
DR.. Wilson predicted shortages in
America DUNG 1913, of farm machin-
cry, other agricultural supplies, and
agricultural labor Farming will be
mighty hard work in 1943," he said
and then continued:
But, while our farm situation will
be difficult, it will be even more diff
cult for the farmers of Russia, whose
richest agricultural lands have been
ravaged by war these past two sum-
mers.
millions of Russians have been
fighting against Nazi invaders these
past IS months; and they're still in
there fighting. These soldiers need
huge quantities of food. In addition,
a civilian population considerably
larger than ours has to be fed. All
this demand for food must come from
Russian agriculture which has been
deprived of areas as rich and produc-
tive as our great Corn Belt
$50 Russian agriculture has had to
push eastward into new lands. Farm
labor and machinery kept moving
eastward as the Germans advanced.
Next spring millions of acres in new
fields will be plowed and planted in
eastern European Russia and in ST.
beria''
The major problem to be solved by
Russian agriculture, Dr. Wilson said
is that of obtaining seeds for the
huge area of new lands to be planted.
Ample supplies of good seed from
the United States are absolutely es
sential for Russia next year." he as
serted. without it, Russia can't be-
gin to feed it's people in 1943."
Because of the vital Importance of
the Russian food problem,

CREDIT GIVEN
TO Meet 1913
FARM GOALS

Credit to carry on farm production
to meet the 1943 agricultural goals
will be available in ample amounts
Gaddis, chief, appraisal division, Farm
Credit Administration stated in speak
ing before the nurserymen's regional
meeting in Kansas City on January g.
He pointed out that this year some
100000 production credit association
members will borrow funds from their
associations and that a substantial
part of these loans will go for the
realization of agricultural goals.
Farm mortgage money, he said, is
available at the lowest rate of interest
on record through federal land bank
and land bank commissioner loans.
The demand for the latter type of
credit, he explained, is not very great,
and the land banks are lending only
about half the money which is being
paid in to them from amortization of
the principal of loans outstanding or
as complete pay-offs.
Mr. Gaddis also stated that farmers
have built up "rainy day" fund of
more than fifteen million dollars in
the last year or so in their land banks
and that money in this fund is avail
able to them to apply at any time
they wish either to meet their regu-
lar loan installments or for the pur-
pose of further reducing their farm

Open Letter To
Montana Farmers

Last years farm production is said
to have been victory in itself, al
ready recorded now on the crimson
pages of this war We did everything
asked, as Montana farmers, as Amer
lean farmers-as American citizens,
wanting to serve where we might.
We did it in spite of obstacles and
hardships which now seem to have
been only the prelude of those to
come.
Plain old hard work did it. Yet
now, in the face of that record, we
must ask of ourselves still more. It's
not that the goals before us are SO
much greater than last year-except
in four significant war crops in which
above all we must not fail. The fact
is that to do as much again, when
faced with the trials ahead will in
reality be to have done great deal
more. That is our 1913 job, our con-
tribution. We've got to do it over
again, but this time the hard way.
Still-lets not defeat ourselves before
we start; and let's recall that our
group has no monopoly on troubles.
The band of "embattled farmers"
at Concord Bridge didn't think in
terms of their shabby numbers and
their homemade fowling pieces. They
thought of the victory which must be
theirs, and of the rewards beyond that
victory.
So what of our rewards? AS as
sistance, the government has prom
ised fullest support to our farm prices
until well beyond the duration. Shall
we look upon that as reward-certain-
