HOME ECONOMICS FOR WOMEN
CORRECT TRAINING

That more than ten million dollars
are spent in the United States annu-
ally for food, shelter and clothing
and that ninety per cent OF this vast
sum is spent by women who have no
adequate knowledge Of money values
is stated in the new bulletin OF the
course in home economics at the Un-
iversity Of Wisconsin, just issued.
In any other phase of life it is
pointed out, the persons entrusted
with such expenditures would he re-
quired to pass through a rigid sys-
tenn of training. Women are subject
to the skill of the advertiser without
any knowledge that will enable them
to determine Whethera certain adver-
tised article is worth what is claimed
for it, or whether it will be of any
value in the home. The average
home maker disposes of money as
her mother did before her, or as her
neighbor spends her money.
The state is taxed, the bulletin
continues, to provide instruction in
the principles governing the produc-
tion of raw materials into the fin
ished product. Women should be
trained to use this material so that

STATE FAIR WILL ECLIPSE ALL
FORMER EFFORTS

1t is striking fact that the Mon
tana Counties which have been ex-
hibiting at the State Fair at Helena
since it was established, each year
come again with finer and more COM
prehensive exhibits. And this year
at the fair-the last week in Septem-
ber-they will be back again, with
more space and finer displays.
Why? Simply because they re-
aljze the immense value such action
means to their communities. Every
state fair IS attended by more and
more resident visitors from the
east, investors, grain and fruit
buyers, commission men, and others
business it is to keep in touch with
the development of the farms, and
who accomplish this by coming to
the fair.
Madison county's first exhibit at
the fair three years ago, drew atten-
tion to a long neglected district.
Land and produce men saw the en-
hiblt and then went to Madison
county. AS a direct result of the
exhibit a good many thousand dollars
went into the pockets of Madison
county farmers that otherwise would
have gone elsewhere,

INCREASE in STATE VALUATION

According to tables prepared by j.
j. Ryan, clerk Of the state board OF
equalization, the total assessed valua-
tion Of property in Montana is greater
by So, 100000 this year than it was
last. This estimate is based on a
comparison of the unqualified assess
ment this year, with the equaliZed
assessment last year, but it is beliey-
ed when the state board of equaliZa-
tion and the county boards complete
their work there will be very little
differences from the figures given out
today. The total valuation of all
property this year basing the rail-
road valuation on last years assess
ment, is $3.50, ,466, ,466, against a total
valuation last year of 5000, ,673, 800.

MONTANA'S OPPORTUNITY FOR
WINTER WHEAT

Rains more or less copiOus fell over
much of Montana during the first
week in August. Where these fell
on summer fallowed land that had
been properly cared for during the
previous part of the season, they will
put enough of moisture in the soil to
germinate winter wheat when it is
sown. OF course this implies that the
farmers took the precaution to run
the harrow over the land at the close
OF the period when the rain fell, to
keep the rain from escaping from the
same.
This rainfall, somewhat uncommon
at this season, in Montana, may be
turned to most excellent account. 1t
has come too late to materially help
the grain crops except in the case
OF corn and flax. In a way it gives
promise of a good winter wheat crop
in 1912, providing the opportunity is
improved. TO improve it properly
the moisture should be kept in the
soil and the wheat sown in good sea-
son. In the autumn of 1910 it was
not easy to sprout wheat in many in
stances in Montana the ground was
so dry, but no difficulty OF that kind
should be met with the present sea-
son.
AS is now generally known, the
Turkey Red winter wheat is the
variety to SOW. 1t will answer to
use seed of both 1910 and 1911. Seed
of 1910 will answer quite we'll when
seed of 1911 cannot be obtained IN
time. Generally speaking the seed
should be sown during the last half
of August, but in some of the warmer
sections it may be well to defer SOW

The seed should be sown with the

1t is not a good plan usually, to
SOW winter wheat on disked or au-
tumn plowed stubble land. but if
ample moisture is present it may be

Crops have grown by simply
drilling in thegrain amid the stubbles,
but they have not been heavy yield
ing crops as a rule.
The wheat may also be sown in
standing corn and the corn cut at the
proper time. When sown thus it is
put in with a one-horse drill. In
such case, it is pre-supposed that
the corn is kept clean while in
process of growth. This m ethod of
sowing should give good crops of
wheat, and as large areas of corn are
now being grown in Montana in some
instances, this method of sowing
should engage the attention of far
mers. A disk drill is ususly to be
preferred. Prof. Thomas Shaw.

THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS
FOR PRIZE PRODUCTS


The cool weather and abundant rains
in the past few weeks assure the North
west farmers good crops. More than
usual returns will be had by many of
the more progressive farmers, who will
exhibit at the New York and other big
land shows. The habit of exhibiting at
these big shows is a good one to get-it
brings honor and money to the enterpris-
ing farmer. In past years the Northwest
farmers have won many prizes for the
best wheat-oats-potat barley-the
finest apples-and prize winning corn.
sugar beets, alfalfa and hops are also
raised. Every time a Northwest farmer
wins prize at the big land shows more
settlers come into the Northwest and
many times they move close by the prize
winners farm. This increases the value
of his land and brings him good, ambi-
tious neighbors, who also get the prize
getting habit.
$1,000 for the Best Wheat in the World.
Take the great new land show-the
New York Land Show. which will be held
between November 3 and II, 1911. For
the best hard wheat 1000 in gold is
offered to the farmers of the world There
is big silver cup for potatoes-a 81 600
cup. The Northwest ought to win that
potato cup, as well as the wheat prize
money. Then there is the Earling cup
for the best oats-the James j. Hill cup
for the best 100 pounds of wheat-the
Busch cup for hops-the Pabst cup for
barley. All these are beautiful cups, all
worth 81 600, except the Pabst barley cup
that's worth $500. Surely the North
west should win these cups. Where else
do they raise such potatoes, wheat. bar
ley, oats, etc.?

Apropos of the good roads discus
sion arising from t Twin City to
Helena tour we give our readers the
following letter written by President
J.. w. Hill of the Great n orthern Ry.,
to County Commissioner A. David
sOn:-
Mr.. A. Davidson,
Malta, Montana.
MY DEAR SIR
was surprised and rather disap
pointed that Valley county did not
receive the Good Roads Cup that l
offered for the county having the
best roads in Montana, From my
observation. your county did more
work towards having good roads
than any other county that we
passed through, but it so happened
that when the judges came to the old
roads between Great Falls and Hell
ena and those around Fort Benton,
which were built thirty or forty
years ago, and which are, of course,
good roads and in good condition, it
apparently influenced them to award
the trophy to Lewis and Clarke
county. While it may be true that
Lewis and Clarke county has the
best roads, they have been many
years in getting them, and certainly
they have not shown the greatest i'm
provement in roads in the last year.
Yours truly,
Louis w. HILL, President.
