Eastern Fergus seeks representation in state legislature
For years Eastern Fergus county lacked county commissioners and legislative presence. The region now urges just representation to support oil field development and tax relief. Charters, a long-time regional grower and merchant, would advocate for industry and taxation relief. Niswanger, a wealthy stockgrower and farmer, also seeks a seat and is praised as a capable legislator ready to back local interests.

Decline in Wheat Prices Weighs on Montana Growers
Wheat prices fell last week with potential for further drops. High supply from new harvests, tight money, and exporters leaving the market created a surplus beyond local needs. Some farmers may sell soon while a few hope for a rebound. Grass Range quoted 1.80 to 1.85, up from 1.60 last Monday.

Supreme Court voids Montana compensation measure for November vote
The Montana Supreme Court ruled last week that a proposed state insurance style compensation plan, urged by radicals and signed by farmers under misrepresentation, will not go before voters in November. The plan aimed to replace the compensation act with wider benefits, though signers in Silver Bow county were only 128, linking the effort to a misrepresented labor movement.
