THE LIBBY
MURDER CASE

Referring to the Prosser murder,
the Cleveland Plaindealer has the
following to say in part: THE
murdered man and the murleress
both hail from civilized sections of
the United States, but the crime
was committed at or near settle
ment called Libby, where a woman
with fresh and handsome face is
a novelty and that after awhile a
rough necked. hard handed jury
with big boots and -bandanas will
present her with an acquittal. The
maudlin sentimcntality of the
hoodlum cow-punchers can be re-
lied on by the defense, when pref
face is at stake,'' etc.
The gool citizens of our. sister
city should send delegation to
Cleveland and demonstrate to the
alleged highly cultured center for
civilized grating cesspool the uttel
ignorance Of their knowledge of the
aforesaid settlement.

DRY HERE BUT
DRYER THERE

For every settler who relinquish-
es his homestead this fall, there
will be ten to file on it next spring.
Dry as is Montana, compared with
many other states, the venture in
this state is tropical. SO says Wal
lace Coburn who returned to Hell
ena last Saturday from an extended
trip along the main line of the
Great Northern.
The best illustration of condi-
tions in Montana and conditions in
other states, was given by Kansas
man whom / met on the trip" said
Mr.. Coburn. This Kansan came
to Montana this spring and filed on
homestead on the main line of
the Great Northern. He broke his
land and put in crop. He was
late in putting it in, he didn't un-
derstand the dry land Methods and
his crop withered and failed. He
became disguised and pulled stakes
declaring Kansas was good enough
for him.
When he got back to his Kan
sas ranch he was astonished. lie
had no crop, his fields were as bare
as Main street, and the cattle were
being fed hay. There was not a
blade of grass. He thought Mon
tana was about the limit, but when
he saw the conditions existing in
Kansas he said Montana was like
a paradise. He came back here
and is going to remain. We have
not yet had to feed hay, the range
is not so bad as that.
From what settlers told me,
conditions in western Kansas, in
Nebraska and other middle western
states must be terrible. They
have no crops, no grass, and moth
ing to feed their stock except hay
that was put up year ago. These
farmers will be forced to sell their
horses and their cattle for what
they will bring, as they have not
feed enough to carry them over the
winter. 1t is because of the condi-
tons in middle western states this
season that there will be a tremen-
dous influx to Montana next
spring. Montana is dry, but not
nearly so dry as states that have so
long been regarded as among the
best agricultural regions of the
country.

WHERE CROPS HAVE
FAILED IN MONTANA

In very many instances where
the crops have failed in Montana,
the farmers are allowing the land
to remain undisturbed. This
means that the land is losing any
moisture that it may have con
tanned, and this will thus far affect
the crops adversely the following
season, while nothing is gained
from leaving them undisturbed the
present season. The only instances
in which it would he commedable
to leave such lands undisturbed are
those in which they are producing
enough to justify cutting the crop
for hay.
Where the seed has failed to
terminate the land should be treat
ed as summer fallow. Where the
termination is partial and some
crop is growing on the land, it
should also be fallowed. If left
lying as it was when the seeding
had been completed, the moisture
which it contained will all be lost,
hence the hazard of failure will be
incurred next season should it be a
dry one. This hazard may be
avoided by summer following the
land.
Where the seed has failed to
terminate. not day should be lost
in string the surface of the ground
thoroughly with the harrow, SUBJ
sequently an occasional narrowing
should be given until fall crop as
winter wheat or rye are sown.
When these are not swon, the oc-
casional narrowing, say every three
or four weeks, should be given UNI
til winter is near.
Where the termination has been
partial, and the grain that has
terminated is making a feeble
growth, the disc should be at once
used on the land to destroy all
growth upon it. The harrow
should at once follow the disc.
The treatment subsequently should
be as outlined above.
If winter wheat is sown it should
not be sown later then September
LIST and if possible from say Aug
ust 10th to Goth. The same is true
of winter rye. Not more than
three pecks of the former should be
sown to the acre and not more than
say four pecks of the latter. In
sowing these the grain drill should
be used in all instances, and the
seed should be buried deeply. If
the moisture present in the soil is
not enough to insure termination,
the fall crop should not be sown,
the land should be left for spring
crops.
In many instances, land was
broken in the spring and left as
the pillow turned it. In other in
stances it was disced once and har-
rowed once and then lett. Such
treatment of Montana bench lands
is all wrong. Treated thus they
will lose their moisture. They will
will not have enough to terminate
winter grain, and spring grain
when sown on them will grow much
less vigorously than if they had
been properly cared for. These
lands should be at once pulverized
on the surface. This will not
bring back the moisture that has
been lost, but it will prevent fur
ther loss and it will put the ground
in much better position to utilize
properly any precipitation that
may fall subsequently.
When the ground has been prop
erly handled the year preceding
the growing of a grain crop, the
crop grown on that land will not
be failure, even though the season
should be dry. That has been

DENSEST FOG IN YEARS
PARALYZES SHIPPING
Harbcr and Coat Docks Enveloped by
Thick Blanket-Weather Clears
up in Afternoon.

The densest fog that has been
seen here in years enyeloped this
harbor yesterday morning and all
shipping was paralyzed. The fog was
so thick that practically no vessels
moved about the harbor and il was
extremely perilous to dock and un-
dock vessels.
For the past four days all Tide
water Virginia has been enyeloped

lest in the delay of steamers. Many
vessels long since due at this port
are lost in the fog bank and IL probab-
~ will be several days before they
make port. All of the bay line steam
ers have been running late every day
and most of the coastwise liners have
been delayed.
Shortly after noon yesterday the
skys cleared and with the shining of
the sun the fog blanket began TO lift,

cleared. However. the lower part of

The libel grows out of the collision
between the Newport News and Lord

captain of the Newport News claims
that the British steamer was anchored
in the channel in the path of naviga-

at the time of the accident.
