PUTNAM CITES LOW WHEAT IMPORTS AS TRACEABLE 10 AAA Seed Stocks Director Urges Producers to Vote for Con- tinuation of Program Basing his arguments on imports of ‘wheat into the United States for do- mestic consumption, Henry O. Put- nam, state seed stocks director, Tues- day urged farmers to ratify the con- tinuation of the agricultural adjust- ment program as the only effective tariff for the wheat producers, ‘Through the 42-cent tariff and the AAA’s 30-cent processing tax wheat prices have doubled in the last three years, Putnam said. Imports of wheat during the eight-month period from July 1934 through February 1935 were 8,511,000 bushels, while drouth damage to the wheat crop last year alone is estimated to have reduced the pro- duction by about 300,000,000 bushels.' Brighter crop prospects and antic- ipated heavier domestic production bring home the necessity of a work- able wheat tariff, Putnam said. Cotton Farmers Benefit Cotton farmers, benefitting by a ‘30-per-cent tariff wall, object to a three per cent processing tax and yet the export business for major agri- cultural products, exclusive of wheat and including cotton, tobacco, meat products, grain and fruits, totaled ap- proximately 650 million dollars as compared with importations of 125 million dollars worth, he pointed out. Government figures reveal that not @ single bushel of hard wheat was im- ported into the United States during 1935 makirig possible the higher prices being paid to the farmers. Countering charges of opponents of the. AAA program that too much of the funds allotted are being used for administrative and other purposes,; Putam cited figures of the federal government. Ninety-eight million dollars of the approximately $100,- 000,000 expended has been paid in ad- justment payments to the producers, he showed. Administration Costs $3,000,000 Of the remaining fund, $13,600,000 ‘went to reserves to be refunded on flour stocks, $8,500,000 was used as refunds on exports and to promote exports; $3,000,000 to administer the act and $2,500,000 used as refunds on relief flour. Farmers in all wheat producing ‘reas will vote in a national referen- dum Saturday, May 25, at places to be designated by the county allot- ment committees. A series of six radio talks to be given on the wheat program were fnnounced by Putnam. Three talks to be made at 12:30 p. m., May 17, 21 and 24, over KFYR, Bismarck, were @nnounced. Speakers will be Fred Aandahl, Gov. Walter Welford and Walter Maddock. George Hogerott, John Gress and H. R. Freitag will talk at 12:45 p. m. (mountain time) over KGCU, Mandan, on the same days.

Yast year rivers vanished, crops wilted, and water was almost a delicacy. Stock died of thirst on withered pasture land. But this year, according to W. P. Day, government forecaster at Chicago, a lucky collision of air currents over Canada changed the Picture. May, without much warning, suddenly repealed the drouth.

Cattle, Calves Weaker The condition of cattle and calves in North Dakota declined 2 per cent during April. Cold wet weather ac- companied by the shortage of feed has weakened the cattle and calves but in spite of these adverse conditions they have held up better than was expected. The condition of cattle and calves on May 1 was 67 per cent of normal compared with 69 per cent a month ago, 72 per‘cent a year and the ten year average of 81.3 cent.
