lion now are included in the

library construction and other new
items brings the total capital i'm
provement budget to $14.75O, ,OO0-
but the city doesn't really expect
to spend that much

The additional items were in
cluded because City Attorney ".
Floyd Williams advised that no
capital improvements could be
made during that year. if they
were not included in the capital
budget. except in emergencies.
The Council decided it would be
better to put everything in the

the current fiscal year just in case
the money becomes available.
Only in the case Of the library
addition was the money positively
promised. A resolution was adopt
ed to include money for the library
in forthcoming bond issue that

fall for a new school in the an
nexed area. Originally. the library
addition was scheduled for the
1884 fiscal year.
More for Sewage System.
The largest item added to the
1923 budget was So million for
a sewage-dispoSal system. This
makes total Of Sc million set
up for the project during the cur
rent year. Acting City Manager
c. Luckett Watkins said although
the full amount might not be
spent this year, there might be
some question about issuing bonds
unless it all is set up in the budget.
Other items added to the 1852
3 capital budget include: $685., ,0OO
for a school on the Hume tract;
$500, 900 for a new Jail and police

ing practice. But all members of
the unit have been qualified as
gunners since they have been here.
Heavy rains yesterday and last
night turned bivouac areas into
bogs, adding realism to the COM

PROTEIN PREMIUM PAID BY
TEST OF EACH LOAD

I JUST FINISHED reading very
carefully the front page article on
EARN Storage" for wheat, which
was very well prepared, and there
is only one statement in this article
to which I take very definite excep-
ton.
When mentioning the fact that by
storing on the farm the protein con-
tent of different lots of wheat can
be segregated, whereas they cannot
be in country elevator owing to
the congestion at the time of heavy
movement, the following statement
is made, and / quote:
''The elevator man is forced to
pay less for protein if he has to risk
mixing high protein wheat with low
protein wheat"
As far as our company is con-
cerned, and / assume that this is
true of every elevator operating in
the state, when the producer hauls
in his wheat a careful average sam
pie is taken and the protein content
Of his wheat is determined by a care
full test in our. laboratory. When the
protein content is determined, a
number indicating the protein con-
tent Of that particular wheat is
placed on the storage ticket and
when the producer comes to sell, he
is paid the full market price includ-
ing the full premium for wheat of
the protein content he delivered.
No attempt has ever been made
to cut the protein premium on the
higher proteins to average out or
offset the loss incident to the mixing
of wheats of different protein CON
tent in the elevator. Any loss in
cident to this mixing is one which
has to be suffered by the elevator
Montana farmer-stockman., 1952-02-15

company, and there is no doubt but
what in years where there is a wide
variation in the protein of different
lots of wheat the elevator companies
do suffer loss in this respect be-
cause, as the article says, the protein
content Of wheat even in the case of
the Individual producer may vary
from field to field, and even vary in
different parts of the same field.
/ write you regarding this in
spirit of fairness to the elevator OPP
orators. There are several states in
the union where the wheat at
given elevator station is settled on
the basis Of the average protein of
the station, but this system has never
prevailed, to my knowledge, in Mon
tana- certainly not with our COM
pany or the other companies with
which ! am familiar.
