Heart Attack Takes Long Time
Manager of FU Central Exchange

Forty-two years of cooperative
service to the farmers of the north
west came to an end Tuesday evening
when Emil A. Syftstad, 66, succumbed
following heart attack in ST. Paul.
Mr.. Syftestad, in failing health the
past year, had been general manager
of the Farmers Union Central Ex-
change since its founding in 1882. At
that time he was also general man
ager of the Farmers Union Terminal
Association, predecessor of Farmers
Union Grain Terminal Association.
During his 25 years at the helm of
FUCE he saw that regional supply CO.
operative grow from very humble be-
ginnings to vast marketing organi-
zation for petroleum products refined
by the Central Exchanges modern
refinery at Laurel, Montana; manu-
facturer of farm machinery, dairy
equipment, feed, seed, fertilizer, paint
and other farm supplies, as we'll as a
supplier of auto accessories and cleo
trical appliances to the farmers-own-
ers of the cooperative wholesale
throughout the northern plains states.
In 1853 Mr.. Syftestad was cited
by the National Farmers Union when
he received that organization's award
for Meritorious Service to Farmers
Union-for service to co-operatives
ION local, regional and worldwide
basis"
He was born in Appleton, Mime
sofa, in 1891, and attended grade
and high school at Sheyenne and New
North Dakota, where his
family had homesteaded in 1895. He
began his life work in 1915 as a clerk
for the Equity Cooperative Exchange
in Saint Paul, moving two years later
to Big Sandy, Montana, where he was
as bookkeeper by the Farm
ers Union Elevator Company.
He served with the army in World

pond built at the foot of Macdonald
Pass. After every heavy rain the set
tling pond caretaker has to bypass
this water because of its muddy con-
dition.
The Moshers have wells just east
of the Green Meadow Ranch that will
deliver a steady flow of close to 100
inches of water. The Forestvale Gene
terry has an excellent we'll. John Rum
mel has strong flow of water in his
well. Joe Parent has we'll that he
irrigates with.
Why can't the city develop 200
inches of water? This plus the storage
capacity of Travis would easily take
care of an additional 5000 people.
There was a test hole drilled at
Western Clay for mining gold which
is approximately 70 feet deep. Water
came feet above the surface of the
ground and it did not cease flowing
until SO feet of the casing was pulled.
There is also a good size body of
water at the Helena Sand and Gravel
Company.
We believe that if the city could
develop some of these sources of

June Employment Down 1900
From Same Month Last Year

Montana's non-farm employment
rose $500 in June over May, but was
$500 below the June, 1856, count,
according to the Unemployment Com
pensation Commission. This is the
first in thirty consecutive months to
register a decline from the same
month of the preceding year.
Wage earners this June" Chair
man Chadwick H. Smith of the COM
mission says, numbered 172,400,
there were 168,600 in May, and 175,-
900 in June 1856. Since December of
1854 each succeeding month had
shown plus margin over it's CORES
ponding month of year earlier. This
margin ranged from slim 200 wage
earners in March, 1866, to a solid
$500 difference in May, 1856.
Omitted from the comparison is q
margin of $4,000 in September of
1855 over the preceding year, when
labor dispute in metal mining and pro-
cessing had idled more than 10000
wage. .earners."
The period of greatest expansion in
this thirtymonth period, Mr.. Smith
said, extended from January through
October of 1856, each of those
months showing from $500 to 5000
increase in wage Garner count over
the previous year. Last November 1t
began to slacken, dropped in Decem-
ber to 4,90O. During 1857 the margin
has been: January 4,7OO, February
$500, March 4,4OO, April 2,3OO, May
1000, and now June with a minus
1900.
"Plenty of workers are available
this spring. Mr.. Smith said, "to have
supplied the $500 missing from pay
rolls. At the end of June offices of

Wage Farmers Finding 1t
Tough To Pay Debts

The average wage Garner is having
a tough time paying his debts, accord
ing to the American Collectors Asso-
citation. The latest figures of the AGA,
composed of 1000 collection agen-
cies, show that there has been a
general increase throughout the U. S.
in the number of persons who have
fallen behind in paying for goods
bought on credit.
In June 1857, there were 35 per
cent more repossessions and 18 per
cent more failures either to collect
debts or repossess goods than there
were in June 1856. The volume of
uncollectable debts also increased by
IS per cent in dollar value.
The average size of accounts re-
ferred to collection agencies varied
from a low of $24.1O in the South
Central states (Arkansas, Louisiana,
Mississippi, Tennessee) to high of
$93.91 in the Mountain states Idaho,
Montana, Nevada, Utah, Wyoming).
The South Central states also had the
largest number of failures to pay

| lings last week when we were there
Our survey included many Billings
area people, but our most significant
figures were available through the
business agents of the various unions
at the Labor Temple.
We also heard that business units
catering to the laboring man are
noticeably affected by the present
economic condition in the town, but
that stores catering to higher income
people are still recording high turn
over and high profits.
Our questions were three: What
is the situation? What is the cause?
What is the cure?
E. H. (Swede) Helterbran, business
agent for the Hod Carriers and Build
ing Laborers said, "At this time last
year there were no laborers unem-
ployed and the demand for men was
greater than the union could supply.
This year one-sixth of the members
are loafing'," (The term used for the
line that forms each morning for
jobs).
Adding to the picture, and cause
for more general concern is the influx
of people from all over the nation
but particularly the midwest, that
stop in at the offices of the laborers
in Billings asking for work.
1t is the first year in many, say

War 1, and returned to Saint Paul
as bookkeeper and accountant for
Equity. Foes of co-operatives drove
the Equity Cooperative Exchange
into receivership in 1928. Emil Syf-
testad remained during the receiver
ship period which ended in 1928 with
the organization of the Farmers Un-
ion Terminal Association. Shortly
thereafter the Farm Board, under
the Hoover Administration, set up
the government marketing organiza-
tion, Farmers National Grain Cor
poration, in an effort to avoid world
wide economic catastrophe and finan-
cial ruin of grain producers every
where. The Farmers Union Terminal
Association in 1881 was the first CO.
operative to transfer marketing OPP

tion.

that whole families are seen hitch
hiking on the highways.
The Cause? Mr.. Helterbran says,
building construction stopped be-
cause of the high interest rates and
tight money policy that puts money
in the pockets of the people that don't
need it."
The Cure? In the Billings area Yel-
lowtail Dam would be a start, all busi-
ness agents believed.
Amy preference as to Federal or
Private construction of Yellowtail? !?
The federal dam, of course, they said,
because without the low-cost power
Billings would go back to where they
are when construction of the dam
was finished. Low cost power would
bring industry, and payrolls that
would stabilize the economy.

Businessmen, like the little boy
who doesn't want the light turned off
at night, are worried, and are afraid
to talk about a depressed condition
because it might destroy the conf
dence needed to maintain prosperity.
Panic or hysteria never cure any
thing, but to bury our heads in the
sand is equally foolish. If silence
merely makes it possible for business
to drain off the last dollar of pur-
chasing power before looking the
matter squarely in the face it is not
only dangerous, it is suicidal.
If some of us who lived through the
depressed days of the 1930s think
back to those days also in the light
of prosperity that we were continu-
ally told was just around the corner
and want the present slackening in
employment to be met "before" the
people of the country suffer-if we
do not believe there should be hungry
n-anywhere-if we believe
this great country can meet the situ-
alton head-on-that any slackening
in employment must be talked about
the minute the trend starts-it is
not because we are wishing trouble
but rather we are insisting on a posi-
tive approach to avoid it.
1t was because of reliable and per-
sistent reports of trouble in one of
Montana's fastest growing towns that
we talked to a lot of people in Bill

We know there is a fair flow of
water bypassed on Ten Mile that
the city cannot take in at the settling
pond during winter and early spring.
We know there is lot of spring
runoff the city cannot handle in their
system. This goes to the Missouri
River before the farmers exercise
their water right to irrigate. The city
now owns the Travis site that could
impound 600 acre feet of this runoff.
We know there is fair flow of
water in Nelson that disappears und-
erground. There is very good chance
this source could be developed at the
mouth of Nelson Gulch because there
are springs coming up on land within
200 or 800 feet of the city mains.
The cost would not be very much for
this.
There is also an excellent chance
to develop good head of water at
the Scratch Gravel Gold. The water
could be gravity fed to the we'll at
the fairgrounds after it was raised
to the surface.
