when he failed to stop at the command of two border patrol

Poplar, Montana.—The Lalonde
Construction company resumed
work Monday on the federal and

Macon bridge across the Missouri
with the Roosevelt highway, or
Montana U. S. No. 2 at Wolf Point.
A protest in person made by a
small body of Indians, June 4,
against the highway being con

in the work. An attorney for the
Indians, Eric Mourn, and Agency
Supt. Chas. Eggers went to Helena

President Hoover Signed Farm
Relief Measure Last Saturday
> :
Congress Will Be Asked Immediately for Funds With
Which to Assist Stabilization Corporations and Co-op
eratives—Personnel of Newly Created Board to Be An
nounced Soon—Many Names Suggsted.
Washington, June 15.—President Hoover signed the
farm relief bill today, thus making law the major part
of his program intended to stabilize agriculture.
Monday he will ask congress for $150,000,000 of the
$500,000,000 revolving fund authorized for loans to as
sist the farmer owned and controlled stabilization corpor
ations and co-operatives.
Simultaneously he will begin selection of the eight men
to compose the federal farm board, which is to administ
ter the fund and have authority in agriculture compar
able with that of the federal reserve board and the inter
state commerce commission in their spheres.
Secretary Hyde will request farm organizations and
others interested to suggest men for board appoint
ments. Mr. Hoover hopes that within two weeks he can
select a board from this personnel and that which al
ready has been proposed to him.
Thus far Mr. Hoover has made no definite selections,
but it is known that two being considered seriously are
James C. Stone, of Lexington, Ky., president of the Bur
ley Tobacco Growers' Co-operative association, and Carl
Williams, a farm paper publisher of Oklahoma, and form
erly a member of the federal board of mediation.
Rather definite information is available that neither
Julius Barns, of New York, former president of the
United States Grain corporation, nor Frank O. Lowden,
former governor of Illinois, and foremost among the ad
vocates of the equalization fee plan for farm relief, will
be offered places on the board. Both had been mentioned.
The president is understood to desire men who have
had successful experience in the co-operative field and es
pecially in handling basic commodities such as cotton,
grain, livestock and tobacco.
The farm bill is the first important legislation signed
by President Hoover and its enactment ended one of the
longest and most spectacular legislative and political
controversies in recent history.
Consequently far more than the usual formality at
tended the signing. Grouped around the chief executive
were Vice Presidnt Curtis and Speaker Longworth, who
signed the bill yesterday after the house and senate had
adopted the conference report; Secretary Hyde; Senator
Watson of Indiana, the republican leader, and all of the
house and senate conferees on the bill except Senators
Nonas, republican, Nebraska, and Smith, democrat,
South Carolina.
These two senators were insistent upon retention of
the export debenture plan even after the house had re
jected it and so absented themselves. The other con
ferees were Chairman McNary of the senate agriculture
committee, Chairman Haugen of the house agriculture
committee, Kansas, and Ransdell, democrat, Louisiana,
and Representatives Purnell of Indiana and Williams of
Illinois, republicans, and Kincheloe of Kentucky and As
well of Louisiana, democrats.
The president used two pens in signing, one of which
he presented to Sentaor McNary and the other to Repre
sentative Haugen. With one he wrote his first name and
with the other his last.

In keeping with the steady pro

paper is appearing this week in
increased size and extra pages.
The Producers News will con
tinue to come out with an eight

In making this change the people
of Plentywood and Sheridan county
may feel proud of the fact that
there is not another city in the
State of Montana the size of
Plentywood with a newspaper being
published in its midst which has
many full length columns and home
print as the Producers News.
Though the Producers News has
a reputation over the state as be
ing one of the livest and best got
teq-up weekly papers in the state,
the farmers' paper is not content
with this honor, but is forever
striving to give its readers and ad
vertisres greater value for their
money and advertising Plentywood
and Sheridan county with its met

extends to practically every state
in the union and many parts of
Europe, besides covering the home
territory almost to a man.

MASSEY-HARRIS TO
HOLD MACHINERY
DEMONSTRATION
In Plentywood Tomorrow (Satur
day) . New Pulverator and Com
bine Promise Innovation to
Those Present.
Tomorrow (Saturday) morning
commencing at 10:00 o'clock, the
Plentywod Machine Shop, local dis
tributors of the Massey-Harris line
of farm machines, will, in conjunc
tion with representatives of the
Massey-Harris company, put on a
Combine and Pulverator demon
stration in Plentywood.
The machinery will be put thru
actual operation at a field just
south of the Carl Bull home in the
east part of the city and Messrs.
Smith and Torstenson guarantee
that those witnessing the demon
stration will receive the surprise of
their lives with the splendid work
done by the tractor, combine and
pulverator.
The pulverator in itself is an
innovation, inasmuch as it plows
and pulverizes at the same time,
being a combination outfit. It is
an absolute new thing in farming
and the local agents claim that it
will revolutionize farming in the
west.
The Massey-Harris Combine will
also be given a working demonstra
tion and representatives from the
company will be here to show the
many superior points of the har
vester-thresher as embodied in
their combine.
A large crowd is expected to wit
ness the Massey-Harris demonstra
tion tomorrow and the local distri
butors are extending an invitation
to everyone interested in the latest
power machinery to be present and
see them in actual work.

WORST TARIFF IN HISTORY
HUNG ON NECK OF FARMER
Corn Belt Fanner Denounces New Tariff and Subservient

Voted Against Debenture and to Hang "Worst Tariff
Stone" on Neck of Drowning Farmers.
By PENMAN SLAVE
(Washington Correspondent for The Producers News)
Washington, June 16.—Having witnessed the defeat of
those who sought to offer him the device of the debenture
plan—water logged life preserver though it is, but which
would have helped keep him afloat at least temporarily—the
drowning farmer is now to have the mill stone of the coun
try's worst tariff bill hung about his neck to insure his cer
tain extinction. On the shore supervising the ceremony
stand the official "friends of the farmer" whom less than a
year ago he so confidently entrusted with the mission of his
rescue. Ironically enough the fanner still regards them as his
real saviours. He has not yet recognized them for what they
are. He is still willing to let them go on with their
