AGRICULTURAL.
How Much Seed Wheat to the
Acre?

In the fall of 1877 an experiment was
begun on the farm in the Ohio State
University in seeding wheat at differ
ent rates per acre. The experiment
was made on rich bottom land, and al
though yield of "a bushels of wheat
was harvested from five pecks of seed,
the yield for seven pecks was 81 BUSH
els. The next year the experiment
was repeated with great care, five
duplicate plots of one-sixth acre each
being sown with each quantity of seed,
with the result again that the seven
peck rate of seeding gave enough more
wheat than any smaller quantity to
abundantly compensate the extra cost
of seed.
In 1882, this question was taken up
by the Ohio Experiment Station, then
located on the same farm, and was re-
peated nearly every year until the Sta
tion was removed to its present location.
The final summing up of these expert
ments, made in 1891, indicated a max.
imum average yield on that soil for
quantities of seed ranging from five to
J seven pecks.
In 1892 the Station was removed Il
its present location, the soil of which
is naturally far less productive thar
that upon which it was first located
. and after few years the investigation
. of this problem was again undertaken
with the result that the most profitabl
harvests have been reaped from eigh
, pecks of seed and upward, the min
and ten peck rates having given tn
best returns in unfavorable seasons.

these efforts wrought any change in the
actual condition Of gambling in this
state.
"All those misdirected efforts accom-
plished was to allow games to run in
every town in Montana in defiance Of
law and permit any community in the
state to be the home of gamblers who
never paid a cent to run their games
While the business men of the town
We're compelled to carry all the load
of taxation.
But this was not all. In Butte and in
other places a system of bribery sprung
up and extended into the very sanctua-
ries of our official system. Tribute was
levied and is levied in Butte that gam
bling might be carried on. Officers OF
the law were blinded to their plain duty
and made to overlook crime commit ted
in their view by means peculiar to the
system of law under which we are OPP
Grating.
Now l am tired of this. I want to
see this humbug and foolishress at an
end. The theory of licensing what cam
not be otherwise controlled is as OlO as
government and should be adopted in
this state with regard to gambling. It
is better to guide and direct this evil
into channels where it will be less harm
full and most beneficial from a pecuniary
standpoint than to have it Overwhelm
the machinery of the law with its vile
influences.
Men who know nothing about license
law have been blinded to the plain duty
of citizens by the glitter of moral gener-
alities, but six years of antigamDling
law mas left us in the worst plight the
state was ever in. This evil can be con-
trolled and finally erased from the state
by proper measures, but efforts of the
past six years have been a waste of
| time and have worked injustice without
end upon the business men of the
state"
At the conclusion of Judge Speer's re-
marks Mr.. Passmore said that he UNDER
stood that County Attorney Breen had
been to see the president of the Good
Citizenship league and had announced his
intention to enforce the law against
gambling. Mr.. Passmore did not thing it
wise thing for the business men to lay

pect of having the law enforced.

was dead letter and Mr.. Hennessy said

At any rate, nearly every coupon ticket
agent in the country found among his
Christmas presents an annual pass, good
for himself and wife, over the Colorado
Midland. Officials of other roads are
now trying to decide whether it would
be best to try to force the Burlington
to recall its umbrellas, the Frisco to
demand restitution for it's apples, and
the Midland to get back the passes sent
to ticket agents, or for them to follow
the examples of those three roads and
give some token of their affection for
ticket agents who can route business
over their lines.
There isn't any difference between
giving presents to ticket agents and
paying them commissions" declared one
western general passenger agent. 1T
is only short step from IS umb1e elias
to SO bills, and from there the way
back to the old-time commission pay
ments would be easy. No big line can
AFFORD not to make presents to ticket
agents II rival companies make them.
The ticket agents really control the
routing of nearly all through business.
and they naturally will favor the roads
that show favors to them"

the situation the ticket agents are say
ing nothing, but looking happy. for

A communication from the Great Falls

as an intimation that the Burlington
company would be glad to see TIE poor
ticket agents safely lin out of the wet"
but the general passenger agents of
other roads declare that the Burlington
was not inspired by a purely philan-
thrOpic motive in giving away those S.
umbrellas.
Sidney Van Dusen, who is the Pitts
burg representative Of the Frisco line,
undertook to provide for the inner
wants Of the ticket agents, inasmuch
as the nSrlingtons agent manifested SO
much concern for their exterior welfare
Mr.. Van Dusen's Christmas Offering to
the ticket agents was basket or bar
rel of apples, the number of apples COR
responding to the number of interline
tickets sold by the various agents.
The allegation is that just before the
holidays a carload of unusually fine APP
Piles was shipped from Arkansas to a
commission firm in ST. Louis. For some
reason the consignees refused to accept
the apples, and the Frisco road took the
fruit to recOup it for the freight charges.
The leading officials of the Frisco Sc
cured all the nice apples they wanted
for the holidays and the remainder of
the carload was turned over to Bryan
Snyder, the general passenger agent.
He distributed the apples among his
travelling agents, with instructions to
divide them with the coupon ticket
agents in their territory. A satisfactory
division apparently was made every
where but in Chicago. The city ticket
agents of some of the roads got apples
and some did not. 1t is reported that
since the holidays the city ticket agents
who did not get some nice Arkansas
apples have not been able to find in
their cases any tickets reading over the
st. Louis & San Francisco line.

pany may congratulate itself that it is

THEY DISCUSSED
GAMBLING PROBLEM
BUSINESS MEMS ASSOCIATION BELIEVE THAT THE GAMBLERS
SHOULD CONTRIBUTE SOME REVENUE TO THE
STATE.

The license question was discussed at
length al a meeting Of the Business
Mems association last night, and it was
decided to employ an attorney to draft
a suitable Dill. end if necessary to APP
pear in person before the legislature and
impress upon the members the neces-
slty of having license statute that
would stand the test of the courts.
In this connection the matter of licens-
ing gambling was discussed at length,
and the feeling was that the gambler
should be made to pay a license, as the
law prohibiting gambling appears to be
a dead letter. Judge w. O. Speer spoke
at some length on the subject.
Mr.. Horgan suggested the employment
of lawyer to draft a bill to provide
for licenses. to take the place of the law
now on the statute books.
j. w. Passmore called attention to
the gambling law, and moved that in
view of the misconstruction placed on
the report of the last meeting that the
matter of gambling be laid aside for the
present. He said that they did not as
semble for the purpose of regulating any
particular kind of a license. but to have
a license law drafted that would be ralr
to all. For his part he was opposed to
gambling.
Judge w. o. Speer said that he woulc
like to say few words about the mat
ter He said:
II am inclined to be amused at the
Stir created by the announcement that
the business men were about to recon-
mend the passage of a law regulating
gambling. l should consider it vastly
more of remarkable condition of at
fairs if the business men of this city
allowed the present opportunity to go
by without making some move to amend
the entirely unsatisfactory condition OF
affairs. In my judgment, the time has
come for the business men of Butte to
arise and say in plain words that they
are tired of paying taxes to support a
city where gambling is carried on in
open defiance of the law and not a
cent of revenue is contributed to the
treasury by the men who operate their
schemes for money getting upon the
public
II have seen gambling in all it's stages
in Montana. The time was when we
had licensed gambling houses here and
all over the state. Then the men who
engaged in this occupation We're made

Along about 1894 we had a moral wave
which lasted long enough to put an anti
gambling law on the statute books and
then fell by the wayside and never exc
cuted the statute it called upon the law
makers to pass In 1896 we had another
spasm of virtue that amended the anti
gambling law then in force. Neither OF
