Thattthere- lis great benefit de
rived from the subdividing Of the
larger counties Of Montana should
require but little argument. Yet
there are those who are opposed to
dividing a large county from selfish
reasons rather than logic.
The farmer derives the most |
benefit from small, compact coun-
ty, as his time is valuable IN all the
seasons Of the year. The milage is
expensive and must be sustained by
the travellers or paid by the taxpay-
ers. The prosecution Of criminals
is expensive, and the profits OF
civil cases are consumed in milage
and expense. The road and school
districts are SO remote from the
county seat and officials that they
are neglected and forgotten. The
farmer never escapes paying school
and road tax, and yet he may have
to send his children to city schools,
and the roads are as nature built
1 them. The excuse is, that the
country is so sparsely settled. !

more economically governed and

bridges, better schools, less debt.

townships, the smallest county in

amount to 81 100000 a year. We

they increase rapidly in wealth
i and population. Every acre seems
. to rise in value, it stimulates civic
pride in all the towns and cities,
and the street improvements in
Chinook, Hayre and Roundup will
bear me out in this statement.
The law under which counties
are now created in Montana is a
4 very difficult one, and should be
amended next winter. The law
requires that an assessed valuar

the parent county, while the new
county must have no less than

HOW TO GROW
POTATOES ]
For the Boys and Girls Who
Are Competing for the
State Prizes.

To the boys who are competing
for the Howard Elliot medals and
the trip to the Montana State Fair,
September 1928, by growing pota,
toes, as we'll as to potato growers
generally, the following may be OF
interest.
The selection Of seed, varieties
and work Of planting are already
past.
Potatoes require much cultivat-
ion. They ought to be cultivated
at least every week until they GOV
or the ground. Harrow at first the
entire surface, then cultivate be-
tween the rows with a garden cult
yator. Let the cultivator teeth
down to good depth the first two
or three times, and then give shall
low cultivation the rest Of the sea-
son. Do not stop cultivating when
the blossoms appear but continue
as long as you can get through It
| the weeds grow or crust forms.
Hoe or pull out all weeds in the
rows.
For potato bugs Paris Green is
the best preventive. One pound
of the green to forty gallons OF wa
ter makes a standard spray. The
use of a bar Of laundry soap in such
a mixture has the of making it
!. spread and stay on the foliage bet
| ter Paris Green may be mixed
4 with plaster OF flour and busted OIL
. with gunny sack on small patel
Of potatoes. Tt is best to do this
! when the dew is on the foliage
Weeds and bugs do not permit th'

In selecting specimens for th'
E state fair, first get those true t.

too large nor too small but uniform
