about the secession OF Missouri from

ing that less than a quorum of the
legislature met in 1851 and ratified
an ordinance of secession.
The actual ordinance of secession
was passed At Neosho. and was en-
titled An act declaring the ties here

States and the state Of Missouri dis
solved"
The bill was Immediately signed by
Gov. Jackson. while Prices cannon
fired salute. Another bill was
passed notifying provisional govern
ments of Confederate States of this
action of the legislature of Missouri.
After these proceedings the house
and senate adjourned to meet in
Cassville. October /. 1851.
The erroneous statement that the
secession ordinance was passed at
Cassville grows out OF the fact that
when the Confederate legislature did
meet at CassvilIe Senator Vest re-
wrote the ordinance of secession and
other proceedings took place in the
Legislature here. The handful OF
members of the two houses who
were present at Cassville adopted sew
eral acts relative to war measures,
none Of which. however, were put
into actual effect,

at Omaha.

Methods OF dry farming by the
use of which Montana grains meet
the world heaters IN the gram
markets of the world and beat
them, will be shown in a compre-
hensive exhibit being prepared by
the Montana Agricultural college
to more than 400, 900 farmers OF
the west ard middle west in De-
cember. Prof, Alfred Atkinson
has been placed in charge aud will
take the exhibit to Omaha where
il will be shown at the National
Corn Exposition. The Exposition
is attended each year by about
400, 600 farmers-the very farmers
too who might be attracted by such
an exhibit to sell their farms in the
older agricultural states and take
up some OF the famous dry farm
ing lands of Montana.
Some twenty-five states are to
have exhibits at Omaha and lis;
of premiums aggregating $50. ooo
is offered besides some special
prizes. For instance the Colorado
grain growers offer 81, 500 trophy
for the best sample OF oats This
trophy may be won by Montana
When the judges see some OF the
sixty day oats grown in this state
running from fifty to eighty bushel:
per acre and weig ing from thirty
eight to hftv-two pounds to thu
bushel, the oats from the irrigated
districts of Colorado will find rivals
from Montana.
When James ]. Hill Offered
special prizes at the National Corr
Exposition for products from
Montana, it was with t expect
alton that the state would make al
exhibit and a large number O
farmers who could individually vii
the prizes in gold offered by HIM
Sixty-,llree prizes are offered b
Mr.. Hill and he will transport ire
OF expense from Montana t
Omaha, all exhibits OF Montan
farmers which are taken to station
on the Great Northern railroad
1t is likely the Northern Pacifl
and Burlington lines will do tn
same thing, which will make
possible for a large number
Montana farmers TO stand benin
