WILL RAISE SEED PEAS.
A New Industry in GaIlatin Valley
Promises Success.

- bNO" UUbOuSUy III
Promises Success.
Montana grown alfalfa seed has
earned u reputation among expert
agriculturists that gives it preference
over similar seed grown elsewhere,
and it is believed our climatic condt'
lions will make the production of other
kinds of seed q profitable industry.
A new departure along these lines is
reported by the Bozemsn Chronicle
In this local news item:
What bids fair to develop into q new
and important industry for Gallatin
county has been inaugurated by the
Jerome B. Rice Seed company of New
York, and that is the raising OF seed
peas.
The Jerome B. Rice company is one
OF the large and substantial seed
houses Of the country. Heretofore they
have raised their seed peas In Michi.
gan, but on account Of un~fsvorable
conditions there, decided to look else
where for q favorable place to grow
this seed.
Their representative, VIM. Davis.
after looking the country over decided
that the Galletin valley wss an ideal
place for raising the desired crop.
A few weeks ago he started out tc
contract for acreage aud now has over
5000 acres under contract in this val
ley. The seed will all be furnished by
the company and will comprise abou,
80 different varieties.
To plant the acreage under CONTRACT
will require about eight car loads O
seed which will represent an invest
ment of about $50, 600. The FIRST three
car loads of seed have already arriv
ed and will be distributed al once ani
the balance will follow in the neal
future.
The growing of peas in this vale,
is no new experiment, like the sugal
beets, as peas have been grown herr
in commercial qualities by many o
the farmers in years past and the crol
has proved to be n particularly
adapted to the soil and climate. It l.
also q crop that, like clover or alfalfa
enriches the soil and makes a goot
crop for the purpose of rotation.
1t is estimated that the soil here viii
produce at least Is bushels OF peas PEI
acre and the average price OF the pro
duct is about 81. 80 per bushel. Thi
will make a very profitable crop.
is also q crop that q be grown o.
unirrigate ted bench lands with profit
Should the experience this year wit
the pea crop be al satisfactory as it /
expected to be, it would probably lea
to the development of the industry o.
a larger scale in the future and ais
to the erection of canneries in the val
ley later On.

the organization Of the combination
made under trust agreement nam
ing specific trustees to hold the stock
of various concerns and formed in
1887.
The trust" was formed by H. o.
Havemeyer. Atkins testified that Is
refneries entered the combination
and pooled their stock in the hands
Of board of trustees and that trust
certificates were issued in their
stead. He said that his company,
the Bay State Refinery, Of Boston,
was capitalized at $5OO,0OO and re-
ceived 100000 in trust certificates.
These were held, he said, until the
reorganization of the sugar trust In
1891. He said the original combina-
tion was the result of destructive
competition, over production and ex-
cessive cost Of production.
Previous to the trust agreement,
he testified, competition had been
free, but burdensome, and that the
combination was intended to reduce
the cost and to partially eliminate
this competition. Eighteen of the 23
refneries then in operation in the
country entered the combination, he
said. He refused to admit that these
refneries controlled 80 per cent OF
the sugar industry, but said that only
two of the six companies remaining
outside were important.

MAY CAUSE
WHOLE TIMING
To BE DROPPED

Should the property owners aban-
don the Improvement of East State
street, the state will abandon its
plans to put in a cement crossing at
Twenty-fourth, the laying of a boule-
ward connecting the state penitentiary
and the asylum, and also the park
ing and beautifying of these state
grounds, was the decision reached by
the state board in considering the
subject today.
Plans and specifications for the
pavement of East State street with
bitulithic were adoL1ed some time
ago by the council. A sufficient re-
monstrance was filed against it, and,
although enough signers withdrew
from the remonstrance, and the i'm
provement was ordered at the last
meeting of the council, City Attorney
Corby holds that if a bitulithic pave
ment is desired that new petition Is
necessary. He hold that, under the
law, signer on remonstrance
cannot withdraw after the time for
demonstrating is past, and hence the
need of a new petition.
The street committee gave the
property owners an audience last
week on the subject, and was hopeful
that the Improvement would go for
ward. The property owners are
milling" however, and it begins to
look as though enough signers will
not be secured, and that means not
only the abandonment of this i'm
provement, but the states as well, as
without the pavement of East State
street the states improvement would
be useless.
