PROFESSOR WURST SAYS DRY
CLIMATE OF MONTANA IS
A BENEFIT
BELIEVES IT IS A GODSEND AND GIVES REASONS FOR HIS
OPINION. MAKES THE FARMERS CULTIVATE SOIL
PROPERLY

Everyone in Northern ! Montana
who is dissatisfied with the amount
of moisture received should read
what President Wurst Of the South
Dakota Agricultural College said in
an address at the Northwestern De-
velopment Meeting at Helena when
he was discussing the question of
rainfall in the Northwestern States.
He spoke in part as follows:-
"Montana is especially fortunate
in having what is called a dry clim-
ate.
"It makes the farmer cultivate his
land properly and by being forced
to do that, he gets the maximum Of
results. But there is larger reason
why Montana is fortunate with a
light rainfall or what might be
termed a minimum rainfall.
"In those states where there is q
large precipitation, the valuable land
is always damaged to some extent by
the soil being washed off in the
freshets.
"NIuch of the fertility is lost by
this washing Here, there is moth
ing of that chara cter to take the nl,-
trltive elements on which the plant
life thriyes. In Montana, if the far
mer cult1vates his land properly, he
will get a profitable yield about 90
times out Of 100. But in those states
where the precipitation is very
heavy the crop is often damaged by
rains, it's cultivation is hindered at i,
time when il is most needed, and lat
er, when the grain is developing 1,
sweeping rain storm often results in
heavy loss to the crop. so when all
these things are considered, Monta-
ma farmers have much to be thankful
for that they are blessed with a
chance for dry farming.'
In speaking Of the Importance of
narrowing, the Professor said; "lf
| were to come onto your farm and
set $50 teams to work for a week
hauling water onto a quarter section
at the rate of four tons a day.
would then only put OH as much wat
er as eyaporates in Il week, when
there is good moisture content in the
soil. A thorough narrowing will
stop this evaporation. and save that
amount of Water.'

Under costly canopy
The village blacksmith sits;
Before him is a touring car
Broken to little bits,
And the owner and the chautfer, too,
Have almost lost their wits.
The village blacksmith smiles with glee,
AS he lights his fat cigar
He tells his helpers what to do
10 straighten up the car,
And the owner and the chauffer, too.
Stand humbly where they are.
The village blacksmith puffs his weed
And smiles a smile of cheer
The while his helpers pump the tires
And monkeys with the gear
And the owner and the chautfer too,
Stand reverently near.
Behind the village blacksmith is
The open portal of his shop;
The shop is very large il; size,
With tiled roof OH top
And the owner and the chauffer too.
At it were glad to stop.
The children going home from school
Look in at the open door:
They like to see him make his bills
And hear the owners roar.
And the chaffeurs weep as they declare
They he er paid that before.
II lie goes each m orning to the bank
And salts away his cash;
A high silk hat and long frock coat
Help him to cut dash
But the owner and the chauffer, too,
Their teeth all vainly gnash.
The chestnut tree long since has died.
The smith does not repine;
His humble shop has grown into
A building big and fine,
And it bears "Garage,' above the door
On a hugh electric sign.

INNES CONCERT
 AT FAIR GROUNDS
Large Crowd Hears Excellent Pro-
 gramme and Band Is Fine Fea-~ ture of the Fair

A vast crowd heard 1nnes' band in q grand concert at the State Fair yesterday afternoon It was an eager audience and the perfect decorum observed throughout the performance was as gratifying to the management as it was typical of Bir- mingham's Sunday gatherings.
 The programme was varied. containing as it did three or four standard numbers by master composers, two familiar hymns Jerusalem, the Golden" and Nearer My God to Thee" and several pieces in the lighter vein. The first number was We ber's beautiful Festival" overture. Part II opened with celebration of the Love Feast from Wagners "Parsifal." Among the numbers played in addition to those on the printed programme was Rubin stein's "Kamenno-Ostrow," and the per ennial La Poloma."
 MT. Innes was in his best form and gave refined and convincing readings Of all the music presented. His interpre- tation of the "Parsifaf selection was at once sympathetic, poetic and musicianly.
 Miss Beatrice Van Loon, the soprano, was enthusiastically received. She sang "Fhe Eternal Idol' by Holmes and for an encore, "Comin Thro' tine Rye" Her voice is pure, sweet and strong and her vocalization that of well trained artist.
 Innes' band Is great feature of the fair and can be counted on to draw big crowds all this week.

CAMP HARDEE HOLD
 REGULAR MEETING
Will Rotate Office of Brigadier Gen. eral-Ask Commission to Re-
 tain Mccullough

The members of Camp Hardee, Con- federate veterans, held their regular semi-monthly meeting Saturday after noon in the Chamber of Commerce auditorium. The attendance was un- usually good and Commander N. A. Graham presided over an interesting session.
 After the relating of war time incl dents by Captain R. H. IIagood, R. H. Mccullough and others, the following resolutions were adopted;
 "Whereas, the time of the veterans is growing short and they will soon have answered the last roll call; and we believe that the old boys should share the honors of the position of brigadier general.
 And whereas, while feeling no dis satisfaction with and disclaiming any intention of criticising anyone who has heretofore occupied this position, we believe that it will be for the best in- terest of the veterans association to rotate the office of brigadier general of the Fourth brigade at least once every two years thereby giving as many as possible a chance to share the honors We believe that fairness and justice demands this course.
 Resolved, therefore, that we, the member of Camp Hardee, in regular session, pledge ourselves not to vote for any man for brigadier general of the Fourth brigade for third term in office from and after this date"
 This is considered by the camp as one of the most important innivations in their legislation inacted recently Later the following resolution was passed:
 Resolved, that we, the members oi Camp Hardee, ConfederatJ Veterans, ir regular meeting assembled, do hereby
 request the Honorable Board of Com missioners of the city of Birmingham To retain in the service of the city oui
 comrade, R. II. Mccullough, who has
 for 25 years been d faithful officer oi the city on its police force." The announcement was made by tht chair that at the next meeting of tht | camp, delegates and sponsors to the an nual state reunion to be held in Mont gomery on November and s, would be l elected
 l Disposing of several other routine
 matters, the camp adjourned.
