A FINANCIAL SUCCESS

From a financial standpoint the
ninth annual state fair was just as
successful as it was from the dis
play of products. After all ex-
penses are paid there will be a
surplus of from $4,000 to 5000.
This is the fiOst time in the his
tory of the fair that the balance
was on the right side of the ledger.
The betting booth also did much
bigger business than last year.
There passed through the betting
booth this year 100000 and last
year the total was $12O,000. In
point of attendance the fair this
this year was only 5000 larger
than last year, the total being
81, 900. This comparatively small
increase was due to the fact baC
weather preceding the fair delay
ed harvesting, and many farmers
when the good weather came
were busy.

of the grain crops, and these
will always claim the largest place
on the dry farm" says the Bulle-
tin, the fall or winter wheats are
clearly the most profitable. The
Kharkof, an improved Turkey Red
stands at the head of the list,
with an average of 4O.42 bushels
per acre, end net crop of $21.30." "
A. M. Ten Eyck, superintendent
of the Fort Hays branch expert
ment station of the Kansas State
Agricultural college, is the man
who introduced this wheat. into
America. Writing to the Helena
man he says: Il believe the
Kharkof wheat will give very good
results in Montana; it will succeed
wherever the Turkey Red grows
well and will probably outyield
the Turkey.
Kharkof was found by Prof.
Ten Eyck in the Russian Crimea,
according to an account in the
Technical World Magazine, July
1910. Season after season this
Kharkof, along with dozen other
varieties, was tested until finally
two big producing strains defn'
ately were established. One was
crlled ghirka, and from it one far
mer raised crop of 65 bushels to
the acre." says the Technical
World. THE other variety was
called Kharkof, and at the agricul-
tural college it produced 60 bushels
to the acre. Of the two wheats,
the Kharkof seemed to Prof. Ten
Eyck to be the superior in all
desired qualities and preparations
were at once made to produce
KharkOf for seed.
1t is said that because of the
more northerly latitude, Montana
Kharkof will probably prove to bt
of superior qualify and yield tc
the Kansas KharkOf.

THE GRAIN YIELD
is INCREASING
BILLINGS WELCOME |. 0. 0. F.

Billings is glad of the opportun-
ity for greeting the representatives
of the order of Odd Fellows to the
city, and while it recognizes the
fact that the sessions are largely
of a business nature it sincerely
hopes that the social side will not
be neglected and that every min
ute of the stay of the visitors will
be replete with interest to the end
that when they return to their
homes it will be with pleasant
recollections of the grand lodge
meeting of 1911.
The Independent Order of Odd
Fellows is one of the oldest as it is
one of the strongest of the fratern-
al orders of America. The order
is peculiarly American and while
it has many of the elements of fra
ternity common to all orders, it
has something more in that it is
essentially patriotic in it's Amer
icanism.
Billings feels honored in having
the Odd Fellows, and their sisters,
the Rebekahs, as it's guests and SO
far as possible it will endeavor to
make them feel that they are wei
come to the metropolis of the Vel
lOwstone and that their coming is
appreciated to the utmost
Zette.

DON'T FORGET

The last session of the legisla-
ture passed a law requiring all
voters to register before voting at
any election. The justice of the
peace is made local registerer with
the county clerk and recorder.
The necessary blanks are now at
the offices of l.. d. Glenn
and w. c. Husband in Har.
lowton, where everyone who de-
sires to register may do so free of
charge. Naturalized citizens
should bring a copy of papers.
DO not delay in this matter, for if
you do not register, you will not
be able to vote when the time
comes.

THE new COUNTY ASSOCIATION

roll for 1911 will show that the
valuation of all property east OF
Twodot has been more than dou-
BILE that of the other portion of
the county. The object is evident.
Any sensible taxpayer can see
through it. The taxpayers all
over this section of the county are
becoming enraged at this palpable
injustice.
Another outrage to which we di-
rect the attention of the people
is the fact that the county road
running through the main street at
Twodot has been elaborately grav-
eIed from the railroad to the foot
hills on the south. We do not
offer complaint to the county
board graveling, full width, one
block or so of main street in Two
dot, but we do say that it is an
outrage that the county board
merely for the sake of courting
patronage at the hands of the peo-
pie in that village will expend the
peoples money on graveling the
full width of the entire road from
the railroad to the foothills, leav-
ing ungraveled and in deplorable
condition all of the road from the
Musselshell river to the railroad,
this public highway being recog-
nized as the worst to be found in
central Montana.
This is only one of the many
things being done by our efficient
county to show favoritism and
court patronage; all at the expense
of the taxpayers money, the ma
jority of which comes from eastern
Meagher county.

A new WHEAT FOR MONTANA

There is slowly being introduc
ed into Montana new variety of
hard wheat, and from the success
had with it so far, it is not unsafe
to predict that in a few years it
will entirely supercede the present
varieties of Turkey Red wheat,
says the Helena Record, This
new variety is Kharkof, and not
only does it give a greater yield
than Turkey Red, but it is fully
equal in quality to the best Turkey
Red wheat grown in Montana.
A Helena ranch company secur-
ed two sacks of Kharkof last fall
and planted it the middle of last
October, four of five weeks later
than winter wheat is custOmarily
planted. In spite of the lateness
of it's planting, these two sacks
threshed siXty-seven bushels OF
wheat, and the kernels were lar
ger than the kernels of Turkey
Red wheat. The heads, though
not fully filled out because of the
late planting, averaged nearly six
inches in length.
A sample of this Montana
Kharkof was sent to Minneapolis
and tested by the Howard Wheat
& Flour Testing laboratory. They
reported: The wheat seems tt
be of good quality, containing al
average amount of gluten ant
fully equal to the best Turkey
Red wheat shipped here from MOI
tana. Believe your people will b'
perfectly safe in planting thi
wheat for seed" The analyst
showed this Kharkof contained
percentage of 37.6 wet crud
gluten, of dry crude gluten ~
and that the quality of the CLUTTER
was elastic. The Montana expert

wheat at the different dry Ian
stations in the state. In bulletin

An Increase of
81 Per Cent
Montana Shows the Highest
Relative Gain in Produc-
tion of Wheat and Oats---
Will Lead Idaho Next Year

The wheat yield of Montana in
creased Ga per cent during the past
year, the oats yield 43.5 per cent
and the barley yield 1913 per cent.
During the year there were pro-
duced in Montana 16,919,O0O
bushels of wheat, 19.O9O,OOO
bushels of oats and 1,943. 5000
bushels of barley.
These figures are from estimates
make by Victor Fl. Olmstead,
chief statistician of the United
States department of agriculture.
from growers reports.
The following table shows the
remarkable increase in grain pro-
duction in this state. brought
about by the development of the
farming lands of Montana.

Total grain. ..25, ,316,OOO 37,943,OOO
The above shows that the in
crease in grain production in
Montana for the year is practically
so per cent. showing which is
declared to be almost without a
parellel in the history of the
country.
Interesting facts can be cleaned
from a steady of the figures pre-
sented in the estimates of Sta.
tician Olmstead. For instance
not only does Montana lead all
the four northwestern states in the
production of oats, but it's per-
centage of increase is higher than
that of any other state, this state
prod duel ing almost half
of the oats of the four northwes-
tern states for which figures are
given.
AT the present rate of increase
Montana will next year be far in
the lead of Oregon in wheat pro-
duction, will be couple of mil
: lion bushels ahead of Idaho, and
> will produce twice as much wheat
as the state of Washington, and i
the same rate of increase is main
tained, Montana will in 1914 pro

 WALKING ARSENAL
Millionaire Lumberman Carried Six Shooters With Him When He
 Went to Testify.

Washington, July 6.-Considerable G. stir was created around the Senate today when it became known that Edward Hines, of Chicago, million aire lumberman, was walking ars- enal of defensive and offensive wea- pons when he testified before the Lorimer Investigating committee sev- eral days ago. The fact leaked out through a member of congress, who sat behind Hines while he was on the stand and saw large siXshootei in the lumberman's right hip pocket, with a corresponding and suspicious looking lump on the other side
 Hines is the man of whom it has been testified that he boasted of 'put- ting Lorimer over" at cost of s100,- 900.
 It is believed the Investigating committee is contemplating some action which will express it's indig- nation both with the presence of pri- vate detectives and the military at- titude which Hines had adopted.
