ti 1TH BASIN EEKL y\ VOLUME EIGHT SIRE GRAIN UNTIL PRICE ADVANCES ButrIPer Crop Responsible for Low Pricos When Thrown on Market at Onse—Fartnars Should Hold Grain, If Possible. As many know, the crap in the Northwest the present eeasen is one , of very abundant yields says Prof. Thomas Shaw. The truth is that not many have an aceurate idea as to how abundant they are. It is to be questioned if the states of North lritkota, South Dakota and Montana have produced a erop within the , post two decades that has exceeded the crop of this ,F. , ea.sen in average and the acreage has .never been no large before The conditions far growth, except in a few looalkies, were almost perfect, and the earth has literally Itrought forth the hand - falls. That such production will have an immediate tenden,c , y to depress prices Its a foregone conclusion, if the bulk Of this grain is at once thrown on the market. 13uyere will take advan- tage of the situation to unneces- sarily discount prices and the rail- roads may have difficulty in moving the grain. Already in western Da- kota. and Montana the prices offered for new eats is in many instances Only 20 cents per bushel. The same oats judiciously turned into Milk, beef or mutton, would bring a return' at epresen.t prices of these product, soneiderably more, than ao cents per bushel and the chances • are, that they will approach that price next spring in the open market. I am told that art Great Falls and in that 'vicinity, the buyers of Turkey Red 'winter wheat are already discounting 'the price of 10 cents per bushel, as tompared with No. 1 hard spring 'wheat.. Before I began to urge the farmers in, Montana to grow Turkey Red winter wheat, I Inquired of the leading grain men, in Minneapolis ara MOORE, FERGUS COUNTY, MONTANA, SEPTEMBER 5, 1912 'to how the grade of T'urkey Red ',vinter wheat compared with No. 1 Spring wheat for milling purposes. They told me practically the same. If this sort of knavery is to continue, more will be heard about it In the Abate prints. I can give names. Now the ce•ngestion, of grain that is inevitably coming can, be prevented by 'storing a large part of the grain. 'Phis can be done in three ways. First in some instances by storing in 'elevators for a consideration; Second sitoring in, the granaries allready,can- Structed and third, storing in gal- vanized tanks located in the field' nit I'he place of tinselling, or in some other cenivenient place. For the beginner or the person who Is not ith•eady equipped with storage room, , .he galvanized iron tank w1.1 solve the prabileau. These may be purchas- ed of various sizes. They have 'smarty advantages. The first cost is , i•at out of reach of the fanner. They will keep the grain quite safe from sain or snow and the attacks of rodents. Those who have their grain and have a place of storage sre masters of the, s.ituartion. It would be simply too bad after the .ssmers have raised a bumper crop !hat they 'should lose the advantage thus gained by the 'low prices ob- tained for it.

Logan Dies Suddenly at Forsyth—Was One of County's Most Prominent Rosebud Citizens. Mrs. A. C. Logan and son, Richard 'O'Brien, returned home last Friday afternoon, from Forsyth where they were 'milled by the sudden death of U. W. Sweetser, a son-in-law of Mrs. Logan's. The Times -Journal of that Sky has. the following to say of the death of Mr. Sweetser: On Friday, August 23, between the 'hours of three and four p. rn. the cons Sunnily was shacked to learn of the 'fact that J. W. Sweetser, ono of Rosebud county's mOSt promiaent citizens had passed away. Mr. Sweetser's death was due to a r sudden, attack of neualgia of the heart (Angina Pectoris), and while he had 'been ailing for the past two weeks with bowel trouble( little thought was given as, to any serious consequences or to the fact that a fatal malady was about to overcome 'him. , The frailty of life nor the sureness of death were never more vividly per- trayed to us than they were in the case of the late Mr. Sweetser, who was taken away without a moment's Ivarniag to himself or family.
