The Matanuska Valley Coop was featured in the October issue of the Pacific Northwest Co-operator, official publication for the Pacific Supply Cooperative of Oregon, Wash ington and Idaho. picture of a Matanuska Valley farm and one of the nRed Maid" being loaded at the creamery accompanied the story which was written by Harry Nelson, director of the Twin Falls Coop Supply of Twin Falls, Idaho.
 Mir. Nelson visited Palmer this summer and was shown around the plant by our manager. Mir. Nelson has been active in Co-ops for many years and was intensely interested in our operation.
 Tn true newspaper style however, we were misquoted having sold approximately 230o pounds of potatoes last year instead of 23O0 tons. This no doubt only a typographical error not attributable to Mir. Nelson.

Extrayagant Claims
Made for Wheat

'hNOW WHAT YOU SOW is
slogan of the Montana Seed Grow
ers Assn.
I am sure in my own mind that
this association, which has Montana
farm operators and seed growers as
its board of directors and which
works in very close cooperation with
the Montana Agricultural expert
ment stations, is the best qualified
organization in the state to offer
slogan of this kind I believe the ex-
| pertinent stations and this associa-
ton have more information about
desirable Montana wheat varieties
than any other individual or group in
| the state.
Several farmers in Teton county
have bought winter wheat seed for
which extravagant claims have
been made.
Some of these men have told me
they made down payment of So a
bushel on this wheat with balance
of So more to be paid when the wheat
is delivered. The men who bought
this seed say themselves they don't
know anything about it except what
is claimed for it by the man with
whom they placed the order.
In my opinion information is ex-
tremely vague about the origin of the
wheat. Also, in my opinion, actual
knowledge of the yielding ability,
quality or other characteristics of
the variety is extremely limited.
Within the last few days I have
asked several of the best qualified
men in Montana about the variety
being sold. These men include MIR.
M. A. Bell, assistant director of the
experiment station at Bozeman, for
merly head of the branch station at
Havre; Mr.. Robert F. Esslick of the
agronomy department at Montana
State college; DR.. E. R. Helm, who
is in charge of the winter wheat
breeding work for the experiment
station; Mr.. Francis H. Mcneil,
agronomist at Bozeman; Mr.. D. J.
Davis, superintendent of the state
grain laboratory at Bozeman; Mr..
r. D. Mercer, extension service
agronomist at Bozeman and secretary
of the Montana Seed Growers Assn,
and Mr.. J. c. Hyde, professor of
soils at Montana State college.
None of these men has any knowl-
edge of the wheat in question.
give the following direct quota
ton from Mr.. Hyde with his permits
sion:
"In the past the experiment station
has tested thousands of selections of
which only a very few have been
found satisfactory for release to
farmers. Consequently, we believe
the farmer is taking a considerable
chance when he buys variety which
has not had adequate testing The
testing includes all promising va
rieties in the Great Plains area
I am citing the above information
as accurately as l can. It is my per.
sonal opinion that it is not to the
best interest of all farmers in thi:
area for unproven varieties to b.
brought in. 1t is always possible tina
they may eventually prove to b,

Extra bushels: Each acre produces
more from "Ceresan"-treated seed be-
cause the stronger, sturdier stands
yield more. Wheat yields often in

White House Presse,
For Rail Settlement;
Progress Reported
BY the Associated Press

White House pressure today kept
talks in progress on the lengthy
dispute btWeen the Nations rail-
roads and four big unions. When
the Second-day session broke up
early this morning, Presidential
Assistant John r. Steelman re-
ported "somc further progress"
had been made.
Mr.. Steelman kept negotiations
going well past midnight in an
effort to solve the wage-hour con-
troversy which led to Government
seizure of the roads last August.
A third meeting was scheduled
today.
The stepped-up talks represent
ed the first face to-face meeting
between management and broth
erhood officials since the rail
seizure.
Final Accord May Be Delayed.
Despite the progress" report,
some persons familiar with the
closed sessions did not anticipate
final agreement for at least sew
eral days.
The roads were taken over by
the Government on August 26 to
avert threatened strike of 3O0,-
900 trainmen and conductors who
were demanding 48 hours pay for
40 hours work in the yards and
pay increase for those in train
service. The dispute still stands.
The effects of last weeks walk
out by ab0Gt 10000 yardmen-
which union ocials called unau-
thorized-Were almost gone. A
few workers who had said they
were too sick to report for work in
Toledo went back to their jobs.
Contempt Hearing Continued.
In Chicago. the Government suf-
fered an apparent setback in eff
forts to press contempt charges in
connection with the strike which
crippled some key rail terminals
last week.
The Government contended re-
fusal to obey a court return-to-
work order constituted contempt
on the part of Sc union officials.
But at yesterdays hearing, union
attorneys said papers were not
served on 81 of the officials until
Saturday, the day the strike ended.
Federal Judge Michael L. Igoe
continued the hearing until Thurs
day. Union attorneys said they
will press then for dismissal of the
case against the 81. They also
said they can prove the other
two innocent.

present law on unemployment.
The subcommittee's views were
disclosed yesterday during testi-
mony by Thomas G. Walters, op-

ernment Employees Council, who
strongly urged prompt action. Mr.
Walters also asked that District

NEW AGENCIES - Hiring for
jobs in such new agencies as the
the Economic Sterilization Agency
will start very slowly. It won't be
until after Congress convenes next
month that many jobs will be
available in these bureaus.
The reason for this is that ad-
ditional money will be needed to
hire the necessary personnel, and
action on the new fund bill won't
be taken until the new Congress
convenes next month. Once the
money is voted. however, thou
sands of new jobs are expected to
open up in the agencies.
