Of the empties.
Then the trust raised prices on her.
Prices at Platte Center were several
cents above the selling prices at Oma-
ha and Chicago. What the trust lost
at Platte Center it made up at other
points. Mrs. Kehoe had no other point,
and here she was forced to close her
shovel house temporarily. But just as
soon as prices returned to the normal
she opened for business again and her
old customers came back to her. Every
little bit prices went up and she would
drop out of the game until prices went
back to a business standpoint.

from her office in indignant refusal.
But Mrs. Kehoe turned this last ef-

the price of grain would fall below the

A large part Of the efforts Of the

those special crops, and especially those
varieties Of the different grains and

The methods for securing this result
IN Montana do not differ from those
used elsewhere. The surface Of the soil
IS kept loose SO that there is always a
layer of finely pulverized soil at the

the loss from evaporation is minimized.
At the same time any moisture that

But aside from methods Of conserv-
ing the moisture, there are many other
ways in which the farmer may help
to insure his crop, and these form an
important phase of scientific expert
mentation. For instance, in this state
it has been proved that in most cases
it is wiser to crop the land only every
alternate year. In the fallow year,
however, the land is plowed early and

There were also three stations on the
Great Northern, one sixteen miles south
east of Great FAILS, one six miles south
west of Shelby, and the third twenty
five miles north of Harlem.
The one near Great Falls will be
abandoned this year as unfavorably To-

The first experiments were under

Last year the state gave $500 thru
