Governor. Lieutenant Governor McCormack is the only bonafide farmer for state office up for election, according to A. N. Wankel, county commissioner of Sheridan County. Mr. McCormack is well known to the farmers in eastern Montana where he has visited fre quently on business connected with agriculture. He was sent by his fel low farmers of the Kalispell region to Washington last winter to oppose the leasing of the Flathead Power sites to private interests.

I "In looking over candidates j filed for the primary, 1 no ! tice Lieut. Governor McCormack on the republican ticket is again in the I race in opposition to the company and monopoly candidates.

Wankel. Disposition of Heifer Calves That leaves three-fourths of the heifer calves for the single purpose of beef production. Unfortunately the dis posal of these females has represented the most losing proposition with which the ranchman has to deal. Further more, he has not had the benefit of ua much experimental work In the feed ing of heifers as with steers. y To Aid Farmers. In view of the need for more Infor matlon concerning the feeding of heifers for beef, u concerted effort is being made by a number of state ex périment stations, co-operating witW the United States Department of Agrl culture, to conduct investigations which will aid the ranchman and 1 v j farmer in more prolltuble disposal of the heifer calves In the beef herd.

Light Heifers Favored. At the present time light heifers sell fully as high as steers of similar breeding, condition and weight. Heavy heifers are never wanted except at discount, and there have been times In the past when all heifers have been severely discriminated against. Pack ers are frequently accused of being responsible to à large extent for this discrimination. As near as can he as certained, a part of this discrimina tion is due to prejudice and a part to actual Inferiority of heavy heifer beef. Heavy heifers frequently carry too much external fat. a great deal of kid ney suet, and make carcasses which a Stretching Barbed Wire Is Most Difficult Task In constructing a fence on rough land care should be taken In stretch ing the wire over hilltops to avoid lifting the posts out of the ground In the low areas. It Is usually advis able to make a number of short pulls with the wire stretchers rather than one long pull. In level areas longer pulls may be made from a well-braced post. An effective height for a four wire fence is 6fl Inches. The bottom wire may be 18 Inches from the ground and a 12-lnch space allowed between the first and second and second and third wires ; the top wire may be 14 Inches above the third.

During 1927 the Northern States Power Company had net earnings of $16,092,168 and gloss earnings of $29,803,168. Thus its net earnings were more than 60 per cent of the gross. The people of the country have been put to sleep by the chlorophorm jc propaganda of the power trust. They do not realize how terribly they are being gouged by this giant monop oly. And the worst of it is that the major portion of its loot is taken di rectly out of he pockets of the "dear people. About a year ago the Electrical World, organ of th eelectric light and power industry, stated that y "Of the 68,782,000,000 kilowat hours generated in 1926 only 21 per cent was used for light—yet that 21 per cent returned $1,072,000,000 or 64 per cent the total central station revenue, Common hoiks Bobbed by Monopoly The same publication also stated that light consumers who constitute the common folks of th ecountry, paid times as much for their current as did the power consumers. In 1926 i (the average price of current to power consumers was 1.29 cents per kilowat hour, while the average price to light- ! ing consumers was 7.73 cents.
