In fact he told of wheat growers in
Montana who have disregarded acreage
allotments, paid the penalty assessed
against them for exceeding market
quotas, and as a result of good yields,
have still made money.
Wren, who made clear he was for
operation of American free enterprise,
drew some Gliding from Senator Ed
ward J. Thye of Minnesota, who sug-
geSted that the success of wheat grow
ers who disregarded their acreage
allotments was due to the fact many
other growers were abiding by the
restrictions of the program.
Cattle Industry Sound
Both Wren and Noel Hardy of Wolf
Creek testified that in their opinion the
cattle industry of Montana is in good
shape, without the benefit of govern
ment subsidies.
Hardy, who identified himself as a
cattleman, said men in that industry
have had to put emphasis on efficiency.
AS result, he said, they have reduced
their operating costs from $50 to $40
per head, and some have reduced them
further from $40 to $50 per head, at the
same time increasing quality. He con-
.rasted their accomplishment with what

1t was Hardy's conviction that the
ederal government should make every

market, and he expressed opposition to
my new program of payments to keep

ime, Hardy recognized the need for

Senate Committee Told of Need for Quality
Differentials In Supports and Allotments

The US. Senate Agricultural
Committee is holding series of
hearings i'm midwest, west and west
coast farm centers to get farmer
recommendations ON farm pro-
gram. Since the hearing at MinOt,
Nd, was the only one close to
Montana, Montana Farmer-St0ck-
man made arrangements for the
following report Of the hearing by
special correspondent.
MINOT, N.D.-Telling story of dis
satisfaction with the operation of the
national wheat program, witness after
witness appearing before the us. SEN
ate Agriculture Committee at its hear
ing here Oct. % gave the impression,
variously expressed, that North Dakota
wheat growers aren't getting a fair
shake.
The two points most frequently made
were that the historic base upon which
farmers all0tments are made was I'M
fair to the pre-war wheat growing in
dustry in this state, and that hard north
ern red spring wheat is at disadvan-
tage in the program, because there is
not sufficient recognition of its superior
market value.
Witnesses of varying political COM
plexions agreed on these points and
asked for differential in price support
values and in acreage allotments in
favor of wheat that is of top quality for
bread flour
Unfortunately, said G. III. Mikkelson,
of Garske, anything went for wheat
under the national program as it has
operated, whether it was of quality de-
sired by millers or not.
Markets Reflect DifferentiaI
This point, that of the alleged failure
of the present program to acknowledge
differential in quality, was made by the
first witness of the day, Otis Tossett of
Lansf0rd. He quoted market figures to
show that the differential in value is
in the markets. His fig
ures on May futures last spring showed
there was difference of between 80
and 40 cents a bushel in the daily quo
tations in Minneapolis and Chicago, and
ne attributed the higher price of the
futures to the fact the Min
neapolis market deals primarily in hard
spring wheat, while the Chicago market
reflects winter wheat values. This same
he commended, should be re-
lected in support prices.
Tossett commended the new law
which makes it mandatory for the Sec
'etary of agriculture to withdraw price
supports for certain inferior varieties
If wheat, but he said it does not go far
enough.

erosion have developed on some of it
Senator Young argued that it wa
wartime conditions-the appeal for foot
production and the exemption of farm
boys from military service to work OF
farms-which had caused the break uE
of new acreages there. This was accom-
plished, he said, before the law for sup
port of wheat prices at 80 per cent OF
parity was written.
Two other Montanans attended the
hearing-Ted Shelton, Conrad, and Ar
thur Lindseth, Dupuyer-but because of
the heavy schedule of witnesses they
were unable to testify.
When DR.. Glen C. Holm of Fargo,
director of the experiment station of the
North Dakota Agricultural College, took
the stand to request that high quality
wheats in comparatively short supply
be given larger acreage allotments, he
was asked by Senator S. L. Holland of
Florida to suggest how wheat grading
standards could take quality factors into
account.
DR.. Holm said every class of wheat
has its own uses, and one set of quality
standards could not be set up to cover
all classes.
Quality Tests
In the case of bread flour wheat, he

Another is for baking quality of the
bread. The third and newer test, he
said, covers the physical characteristics
of the dough.
He pointed out that high-protein red
spring wheats and also high-protein red
winter wheats are used for blending
with flour made from other wheats,
Tossett and a number of other wit
nesses voiced doubt whether there is
any real surplus of top quality hard red
spring wheat.
8 Classes of Witnesses
In general the senators of the COM
nittee recognized three classes of wit
lesses among those heard. One group
vas witnesses identified with the Farm
RS Union, and most of them made an
ppeal for some kind of change in the
aw which would set a limit upon the
mount of price support benefit which
ne Individual farmer could get.
Another group was made up princi-
ally of witnesses identified with Farm
ureau groups. Most of them stressed
e need for recognition of the quality
ctor in price supports, for larger
lotments to growers of high-quality
ain, and some expressed support for
me form of temporary subsidy to take

part of the nations crop acreages out
of grain production.
The third group consisted largely Of
representatives of stockmen's Organi-
cations, and they generally expressed
opposition in principal to special gov
eminent support programs for any seq
ment of agriculture.
There were both Farmers Union and
Farm Bureau witnesses who expressed
preference for market quotas in BUSH
els, rather than controls over acreage.
Administrative Problems
Senator Allen j. Ellender of Louisi
ana, who presided as chairman of the
hearing, expressed some doubt whether
a program of marketing quotas in
bushels, without acreage limitations,
could be made workable from the
administrative point of view. To answer
this objection, Stanley Maixner, a farm
er from Bowman, proposed that every
farmer be given marketing card
which would be like a meal ticket. The
ticket would show the total bushelage
the farmer was entitled to market, and
would have spaces marked off on it for
fractions of that amount Each time a
farmer sold grain, he would present the
ticket to the elevatorman, who would
punch it for so many bushels sold
Most of the Farmers Union witnesses
asked for 100 per cent of parity price
supports, with limitations that would
favor the family-type farm S. r. Siver-
son, of Wheelock asked for compensa-
tory production payments which would
give the farmer the difference between
the price he gets on the market and the
100 per cent parity value of his crops.
with the proviso that no farmer should
get payments which would bring his
gross income above $4,000
Another, Clark Van Horn, of ParshaII,
favored bushel-unit system. The farm
er would get 100 per cent of parity on
the first 10000 units marketed, 80 per
cent on the second 10000, and no sup
payments on marketings in
excess of 10000 units
SO Witnesses Invited
A total of SO witnesses had asked to
oe heard by the committee, and prac-
ically all of these filed written state
nents After an agreed list of 10 wit
lesses were heard in the day-long ses-
ion, number of additional ones were
allied before the committee, bringing
he days total to in excess of Is.
Chairman Ellender took issue with
ne witness, Leonard Davis of Killdeer,
Tho thought the farm problem should
e taken out of politics, Ellender
ointed out that both Democrats and
republicans are represented on the
and he said, 81 know of no
ommittee in the capital that is more

The senators who took part in the
[inot hearing included Chairman Ellen
or of Louisiana, Young of North Da-
ota, Thye and Hubert L. Humphrey of
Minnesota, Holland of Florida, and Sen
or Andrew F. Scfoeppel of Kansas.

Beauty Hints

If you are not pretty when
you reach the age Of thirty,
it is your own fault because
it is very much UP to you
as to your approach to
beauty. There are a thousand
and one beauty projects, Sc
crets and wise pointers that
can revolutionize your ap-
pearance. Most of the women
you see on Tv, ON the avenue,
in society, are made beauties.
They doubtless were plain
once but they got busy, stu
died, learned, inquired and
discovered first what they
needed, what they should
elect or disavow in order to
reach the pedestal of beauty.
You may do just this, too
II you are not too lazy.
