FARM GRAIN RESERVES.

Commenting on the grain situation,
The Minneapolis Tribune says:
The farmers of the country have
considerable grain unmarketed not
withstanding the heavy movement of
last fall and early winter. The ac-
cumulative of two large successive
crops with consumptive limited most
~ to the domestic requirements has
built up large reserves.
Since the first of the year there has
been Il sharp falling Off in primary re-
ceipts suggesting that producers are
not disposed to accept current QUOTA
tions and that there is no special ne
cesslty which compels them to turn
their grain into cash. The large hold
ings, however, insure ample supplies
until the new crop is available.
During the remainder of the pre-
sent crop season prices for wheat will
be influenced more by the progress Of
the 1911 harvest than by the immed-
late commercial demand. The value
of the farm reserves will tiuctuate
with the progress Of the new crop:
unfavorable developments will give
added worth because an average har-

BOARD OF POULTRY nUSBANDRY.

The growing Importance Of the bus
mess Of raising poultry in Montana
was officially recognized by the citi-
zens Of the state when IL board OF
poultry hnsbanlry was created by
the last legislature and approved by
the governor, who has appointed
the members OF the board.
The raising OF poultry is Il branch
OF l.usbandry that is ever receiving
more attention. and thousands OF per-
sons who IL few years ago thought
that il 'cl,icken is Il chicken have
since learned that there are as many
or more breeds Of poultry. which are
adapted to the various climatic coli
ditions and are bred with definite
purpose in view, us there are strains
OF cattle, hogs or sheep. Chickens
can be bred to be more profitable,
either in number OF eggs produced or
their weight for the table. Owing to
the shortness Of time in which re-
suits may be achieved. and the posi-
tiveness Of those results, improve
ment IN poultry may be affected with
in Il narvelonsly short time.
The Montana board Of poultry hus-
bandry has large amount Of work
to do before this state will furnish
even the poultry and eggs used here.

-Anent the controversy over the IF

make the publishers OF popular maya
zines pay increased rates on their adj
vertising pages, the Wall Street Jour
nal expresses Il view which may not
be far out of the way. 1t says:

Gals from house to house for cent Il

ture. That act gave birth 10 "a new
kind OF magazine. made up of wishy-
washy short stories and sketches Of
the cheapest kind. with the real pur-
pose Of carrying alluring advertis-
ments into the family household.
Popularity is sought by the cheap
pretense of exposing public abuses,
careless of the implicit libel OH the
nation at large. The actual object is
to secure the lucrative advertising
which Il widespread advertising can
command. We are told that II single
issue of only one of these productions
will sometimes fill several freight
cars. and an entire train could readily
be filled with one months issues of
only few of them. Cheap maya
zines have increased greatly in the
past few years and some Of them
are OF the undertaking. libelous, sen-
sational sort that do more harm than
good. 1t is Il question whether a
few OF them should not be barred
from the mails altogether instead Of
being favored by low postage rates.

New Rockford, in Eddy county,
brings the report that the wheat in
that district is being harvested rapid

what better than usual.
General reports covering Ward
county are to the effect that there
has been a great Improvement in the
crop conditions throughout the dis
trict. Flax is especially good all over
the territory. Dat fields, too. which
a month ago looked as though they
would not be worth cutting, have TAX

that district are behind the conditions

Over Four Inches at Darlington.
From Darlington reports come

Mandan, Morton county, sends out
the report that general conditions in
that region are far better than they
were short time ago, and that there
now are prospects for good yields.
Braddock reports show that the
general conditions there are satisfac-

some warm weather have greatly re-

that was held in some sections Of the

the outlook already was satisfactory.
1t appears that the rain has been

mated.
That the rain that has fallen over
the state generally has not resulted
In any delay Of the harvest work, also
appears to be the condition existing.
The rain came at time when many
OF the farmers were just making ready
for the harvest work, but before
they had actually gotten into the
fields. That was not, however, the
condition in the Red river valley and
some of the more southern counties.
but even In those districts no damage
resulted, while the delays, despite the
heaviest rains Of the period, were not
very great nor were they in any man
ner injurious.
Flax Outlook Great
To the states fax crop, the rain
has been wonderful boon. Through
out the western districts the rain
came down in great quantities., and
from all those districts comes encour-
aging reports to the effect that the
flax fields are now in the best DOS
sible condition, and that the yields
in many instances, will reach bumper
proportions.
At Haynes, Hetdnger county. in
the ten day period last past, the rain
fall was over two inches. One rain
extended over a period of five hours,
and the cultivated land has been
thoroughly soaked to depth of four
teen to sixteen inches. Farmers are
exceedingly we'll pleased over this

much hay land that was looked upon

From Goodrich, in Sheridan coun-
ty. also comes q more optimistic re-
