. PRIGES FOR BUTTER HIGHER BUT CATTLE DROP 40 PER CENT Farmers Union Terminal Report Finds Grain Income Re- duces Buying | FEED RELIEVED BY RAINS Corn Out of Frost Danger, But Much of Crop Merely Mak- ing Fodder Buying power of the farmers of the northwest will be considerably lower from the 1930 crops than from those of 1929, a survey by the Farmers » Union Terminal association indicates. “The purchasing power of agricul- ture in the northwest, however, will + be very spotted,” the Farmers Union “The buying power of survey finds. will be much Minnesota farmers larger, as a whole, than in other sec- tions of the northwest, but not equal to 1929, “With indications that Minnesota will have a large corn crop and satis- factory y:elds of wheat, oats and most other small grains, the ability of _ farmers of the Gopher state to make purchases will measure up nearly to the levels of a year ago. Corn prices are nearly as high as @ year ago. “ However, there will be decreases in the buying power ~f wheat, rye, bar- ley and other grains because of the price situation. Rains Relieve Feed “In the eastern tier of counties of North Dakota the situation is some- “what the same as in Minnesota, except that the extremely low price for small grains will have a much greater effect in decreasing purchas- : ing power. “In western North Dakota and Montana, the purchasing power of the farmers will be reduced substantially. ‘The reduction in the yields of grain in this territory \7ill not be so effective ‘a8 the declines in grain and livestock prices as compared with a year ago. Recent rains have to a large extent relieved the feed situation, at least temporarily. “The terminal market prices of grains range from slightly above 50 per cent of the 1929 levels for rye to about 80 per cent, except for the corn prices. The country elevator price, however, is proportionatsly lower, as the same freight, transportation and handling charges prevail as when prices were at the levels of a year ago. “Taking grains, for example, spring bread and durum wheat are only about 60 per cent of the levels of a year ago; rye, hardly half the 1929 price at country points, while barley and oats are around 70 per cent of the price of a year ago. Cattle .rices 60 Per Cent “Cattle prices are only from 60 to 70 per cent of the averages of a year ago, while hog price levels are about 75 per cent and lamb prices at the lowest quotations in many years. “Butter prices, while substantially above the low levels of a few months ago, are 15 to 20 per cent below a year ago and storage stocks are higher, though the rate of increase has been decreased by drouth and pasture con- ditions. “For the first half of 1930 cattle prices, as reported by the Montana department of agriculture, averaged 9.74 compazed with $11.04 in 1929 and $10.69 in 1928. “Harvesting has been completed in most sections of the northwest and threshing is weli along except in the northern sections. Flax is mostly out nd some threshed. Corn Out of Danger “In most sections of Minnesota and North Dakota corn is out of danger of frost, but much of it is being cut for fodder in North Dakota and northern Minnesota. “Potato diggirg is well under way ie and the crop is light in most sections. “Recent rains have improved the grass, but pastures still are dry and need moisture badly. Heavy rains are needed in nearly all sections of the northwest if fall plowing is to be accomplished.” Nurse Examinations Will Be Held Here Nurses examinations will be con- ducted in the house chamber at the state capitol October 7 and 8, accord- ing to Miss Esther Teichmann, Bis- marck, president of the North Dakota Nurses association, and head of the THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE.

Bucking the snow drifts, they were hancled rough- ly, and the general demanded that Conductor Sweetman leave the private car while bucking snow afd then re- turn to pick it up. This Mr. Sweet- man refused to do, he said, because he feared he might not be able to back his engine through new drifts which might form. He did not wish to have General Custer isolated in the snow drifts. Despite insistence on the part of General Custer, Sweetman de- clined and this started unpleasantness between them with the result that bene the party reached Bismarck, the eral reported to the superinten- dent. ‘The conductor was reprimend- ed and his services terminated. How- ever, he was told, he said, that he would be reinstated later if he would remain at Bismarck. This com- promise Sweetman refused. One of the ironies of fate was that not many months later Sweetman, who was en- gaged in delivering foodstuffs to the soldiers, was one of the first to ar- rive on the field after the battle in which Custer and his men were an- nihilated by the Indians.

His father was Irish and his mother of Scotch descent. In 1847, when he was 16 years old, he came to the | United States with his cousin, Martha Williams, 2 Quaker lecturer, whose itinerary took her through the United States and Canada following service as a missionary in China. Young Sweetman remained with his cousin until they reached Montreal, from which city he went to Buffalo, N. Y.; and became a common laborer, but a few months later he returned to Ire- land. There he attended college, com- pleting what he said was equivalent to @ present day high school course. With a wholesale dry goods house, en: gaged in export and import busin he then took employment and this firm, Phillip Riley & Sons, sub- sequently engaged him as a commer- cial traveler in the large cities of Eng- land. In 1854 he came again to the United States and obtained work in grain elevator where he earned $30 @ month. N. Y., and engaged in similar ‘work tor $60 a month.
