Shipped TO Egypt

PARIS (JTA)-The French For
eign Office has denied reports or
iginating here that 90 French tanks

spokesman admitted, however, that
deliveries had been made on an
order for 40 tanks placed by Egypt

Monday there will be very special
annual meeting of the Farmers Union
Oil Co. of Billings. 1t will mark the
completion of the first 25 years of
successful operation of that farmer
owned petroleum and farm supply
distribution agency.
Though Flu Oil, Billings, today is
a highly successful cooperative, with,
among other things a gross gasoline
gallonage of 529,410 last year, such
has not always been the case.
There were the Misunderstanding early
years when the primary problem fac
ing each poorly-attended stockholders
meeting was how to keep the cooper
alive operating in the immediate
months ahead.
There were the problems of secur-
ing a suitable location, of obtaining
capable managers, Of how to build
greater farmer participation and in
terest in the enterprise.
But, there were also some hard
bitten, determined men, who would
not be deferred from their goal of
reducing the age-old economic gim-
mick whereby farmers invariably
went broke-selling their produce at
wholesale, and being forced to buy
their supplies at retail.
There was E. r. "Hardy" Kinder,
a confirmed believer in co-operatives
as an important tool and assist to
successful farming operations. Hardy,
in more recent years, until his re-
tirement a while back, was an i'm
portant figure in building the farmer
owned cooperative wholesale, Farm

Inc commission CHAINS CnaC De-
cause Olsen spoke to television au-
dience over KXLF-TV, Butte, Dec.
%, ON the gas rate issue while the
case is before the courts he should
be held in contempt.
In that broadcast, Olsen graphically
displayed how unfair and unreason-
able" the rate increases granted Mon
tana Power are to the gas consuming
public. Olsen also pointed out that
although the general consumers use
only So per cent of the utility's gas
distribution system for rate making
purposes Montana Power contends
that that 81 per cent is worth $780,
100000, although reporting to their
stockholders a total value of the dis
tribution system of only $30,000,000.
For tax paying purposes, he stated the
company considers $16,000,000 as a
fair value.

Marketing Cards
Now Available
At ASC Office

Eligible wheat producers may
now secure their 1856 wheat
marketing cards by visiting or
writing the Richland County Ag-
ricultural Sterilization and Con-
servation office in Sidney, Chm.
Arthur Anderson of the County
ASC committee has announced.
Eligible producers, Mr.. Ander-
son explained, are those who are
interested in the wheat crop on
a complying" farm - one on
which the wheat acreage is less
than the acreage allotment or
is acres, whichever sis larger
and those who are interested in
the wheat crop on a farm where
an excess" penalty has been de-
termined and settled. Farm OPP
orators have been notified of the
wheat acreage on their farms and
the quantity of excess" wheat,
when applicable.
Generally, excess" wheat is
the normal wheat yield for the
farm multiplied by the wheat
acreage in excess of the allot-
ment. Settlement of the penalty,
to qualify the producer interest
ed for marketing cards, may be
made by payment of the penalty
in cash, by storage of the excess
on the farm or in a warehouse,
or by delivery of the xcess 70
the Secretary of Agriculture for
relief use or diversion, according
to the chairman.
Persons who buy or otherwise
acquire wheat are reminded that
the penalty of LOT per bushel
must be collected on all wheat
acquired by them which is not
identified as penalty-free. A 1856
marketing card presented by the
producer selling the wheat, a
wheat marketing certificate, or
intermediate buyers record
and report properly completed
are acceptable evidence that the
may purchase the wheat
without deduction of penalty. In
cidentally, Mr.. Anderson pointed
out, this years marketing card,
became effective on July
/, is yellow in contrast to the
cards issued for the 1854
and 1855 crops.
Warehousemen may accept ex-
wheat for storage without
liability for the penalty.
