THE RANCHERS FIX A PRICE SCHEDULEGallatin County Famtrs Organized For Thilr Mutual Benefit.,Fergus County Democrat.The farmers of the Gallatin vallev have bandedr themselves together with the hope of being able to maintain prices, but if these people are to succeed the farmers of the rest of the state should co-operate. At a recent meeting prices were established for next summer’s crops and the farmers throughout the state in sympathy with the movement must see to it that they do not underbid these prices. The Gallatin farmer cannot keep up prices unless he has the co-operation of the rest of the state and he cannot do it if the products can be laid down here from other states for less than he proposes to sell for. This fall, however, we look to see even better prices than those proposed prevail throughout MontanaThe committee appointed on fixing prices submitted the following report;Committee on wheat prices, R.
