CROPS HERE AND HEREABOUrS.

In view of the fact that crops in
western Kansas, all of Nebraska,
Minnesota, North Dakota, Wisconsin
Michigan, South Dakota. parts Of
Iowa. and Illinois, are practically
total failure, central Montana, in
which Judith Gap and the Judith
Basin are located, are indeed FORUM
ate in the splendid crop prospects at
the present time. The yields OF all
grains will be exceptionally good.
Last year the high Yields of winter
wheat in this territory were around
20 bushels per acre, while oats and
barley were over 100 bushels per acre.
This year the high yields of winter
wheat will be about Cd bushels, while
there are fields OF oats that will 60
close to 100 bushels per acre. This
has been test year for farming in
central Montana. and we have come
out with flying cOlOrs. We have
ceased the experimental stage and
have proven to the world that we
have the greatest agricultural country
on the globe.

THE CROP OUTLOOK.
Get busy

just Mt this time there is more or
less speculation as to the crop yield
in this county, especially rs regards
wheat. So far as we are able to learn,
winter wheat throughout the basin is
looking well, and some who have COM
menced cutting aim that their fields
will go from 30 to 35 bushels to the
acre. While it is not thought that
the yield per acre will be as large as
last year, owing to less moisture, there
is reason to believe that the wheat
will be of better milling quality and
that much of it will grade No. | hard.
The incessant rains last year, contin-
uing up to the time of cutting and
threshing did not give the berry
chance to harden as it should, hence
very little, grain graded No. I. There
was some complaint of wheat being
damaged slightly by frost early in
June, but this is confined to certain
localities and the injury is now be-
lieved to be very slight, take the
wheat area as Il whole, says the Fer
gus County August.
While the outlook is not so good
for spring wheat, however, if rains
come soon there will be II fair yield.
The crop looks better in the foothills
this year than for some seasons past.
While the hay crop is generally
light, along the creek bottoms and OH
the high lands of the mountain ranges
there will be some surprisingly large
Yields.
Oats, which are chiefly raised in
the foothills, are doing well and there
IS promise of an average yield. A
few showers just now would help this
crop wonderfully.
Altogether the outlook for the
cereal crops in central Montana,
taken us whole, is good despite the
prevailing drOuth, which seems to
cover the greater portion of the United
States.
AS IA matter o. fact we believe the
drouth is less severe here than in any
part Of the country west of the Mis-
sissippi river. Ii any new settler in
the wheat belt is inclined to be dis
couraged he should learn of conditions
existing in North and South Dakota,
Minnesota and Wisconsin. People
who have visited those states recently
say that the situation is much worse
there than in Montana.
In South Dakota stOckmen are plac-
ing their cattle and sheep on the mar
ket as fast as possible and taking the
best prices they can get rather than
attempt to carry them through the
winter. One sale was recently made
at $50 head for all ages, except
calves which were thrown in. Five
hundred cars have been ordered for
one point alone.
Parties visiting this region say it
has been highly favored with moisture
compared to the states to the east,
notwithstanding the fact that the pre-
cipitatiOn has not been all that was
desired or expected.
In Il few days the harvesting of
grain will be on in earnest when a
more accurate forecast OF the yield
can be made. The situation is
by no means discouraging.

THIRD DEGREE USE
DENIED BY WILKIE

Sweating Charge.

John F. willie. Chief of the United
States Secret Service. yesterday told the
Senate committee inquiring into the
third degree" system alleged TO be prae-
ticed by the police in sweating prison
ers, that the practice existed largely in
the minds OF dramatists and sensational
writer's.
Chief wilkie said the terms. third de-
gree" and sweating" were employed by
special writers and dramatists and others
who do not know anything about police
methods TO any means used to obtain in
formation.
Senator Borah, one OF the members Of
the committee. expressed the belief that
there mus 1be some foundation Tor the
newspaper reports.
I want TO ask whether In your expert
ence OF twenty-five years as a police
reporter in Chicago YOU gained any
knowledge OF the use Of brutal methods
to force a confession" he asked Chief
WIkle.
There we're sporadic instances when
| brutality was charged. but I was never
present nor have l any personal knowl-
edge OF anything OF the kind going on,
/ Mr. Wilkie replied.
THAT proves my point" retorted Sena-
/ tor Borah, that men may be subjected
to the most indignant outrages. and nc
way of proving whether these charges
are true or not is now provided.
Mai. sylvester said that no member
Of the Washington force, abused "A pris-
oner 10 obtain a confession. our rules
