ADAMS COUNTY FARMERS
S0WED WINTER wheat

1t has recently been discovered that a
considerable number of farmers down
on the Milwaukee in the vicinity of
Hettinger made the serious mistake
last spring of buying winter wheat.
The H%ettinger Co. and a local elevator
at Hettinger sold the farmers about
two carloads of this grain. The milling
people are experienced men, it is said,
and yet they were fooled. They have
been offering to supply flax seed free
to all farmers who wished to pillow the
wheat under and reseed. Will Anderson
had IA teams at work recently reseeding
his 1870 acres. Other farmers were un-
able to prepare their land for another
crop this year.
1t is said that the mistake is a hard
financial blow to both the mill and
elevator people.
Here is what the Adams County
Record says about the matter under
the caption Of more seed grain
trouble"
A most unfortunate condition of
affairs has been brought to light by the
discovery of the fact, that through an
error, somewhere between I, 1000 and
2, 500 bushels of winter wheat was last
| spring distributed for seed among the
farmers tributary to Hettinger. A great
deal Of the seed grain brought in last
spring was purchased in Montana, be-
cause it appeared to be better seed
than could be secured elsewhere. Much
of the winter wheat raised in Montana
is known as Saskatchewan fife. Side
by side with this winter Drain is grown
q hard spring wheat which goes under
the name of Scotch fife. The difference
between the winter Saskatchewan fife
and the spring Scotch fife is so slight
that it is not discoverable even by ex-
pert grain judges. The local men were.
therefore. very easily led to believe
that all the seed wheat they were buy
ing was Scotch fife and in fact most of
the wheat thus purchased was the hard
spring wheat, but in some u~naccOuntable
way two or three carloads of the
Saskatchewan was shipped in and
distributed. This error, however. was
not detected until just recently, when
certain of the farmers found that some
fields of wheat instead of growing up
rapidly were simply stooling and
spreading over the Ground. Some of
them who had had experience in
wheat growing felt that they had sown
winter wheat instead of spring wheat.
An investigation followed with the re-
suit that a large number of fields sewn
with the winter variety were found.
The elevator men are doing every
thing they al to relieve the situation.
They have already furnished seed flax
for a large part of the acreage occupied
by the winter wheat, and are furnishing
horse feed in order to facilitate the
resolving.

GAYLORD CELEBRATION ],
WAS WELL ATTENDED

Several hundred people attended the
church celebration in Gaylord township
on Monday. 1t was the hottest day of
the season and those who went out
from Dickinson had plenty of tire
trouble" Some of the autos had
several break downs on the way and q
few of the visitors to the country were
unable to run home until Tuesday morn
ing. The celebration was financially
a success and that was the main object.
In the evening, after the atmosphere be-
came a little cooled, there was q.
bowery dance. Before this, however.
there were some field sports. such as
baseball and broncho riding. The horse
riding caused some excitement and
came near resulting in fatalities. One:
lady in the crowd tainted, one man
was kicked in the leg, another in the
chest, but so far as known the injuries.
did not prove serious: Dr.. Spears of
Belield was on hand and the injured.
received immediate attention.
1t is hoped that the good people of
Gaylord will hit upon cooler weather for
their mex celebration. The record for
Monday was SO in the shade.
The people of Gaylord have placed
their hansdome church structure on an.
eminence where. it is plain to the view
of settlers of this prosperous farming:
community for miles and miles in every
direction.

PRIZE STEER
BEATEN BY TWO
University Produces two Bet
ter ones than Sterling"
the Heavy Weight.

When he wanted the best steer In
the west, an animal that would sweep
every stock show prize, George War
rem of Warrenton, last winter bought
Sterling" the University of Idahos
grand champion and paid $1.20 per
pound for him, the highest price for
a beef animal ever paid in the United
States, excepting once.
But Mr.. Warren's triumph will not
be long lived. He reckoned not of the
University of Idaho's facility in turn
ing out winning animals, and as
a result Sterling" which will be en-
tered at the Oregon state fair this
fail, will probably come out third best
The university has two finer, better
animals, which it has been fitting up
for competition with Sterling.
The best steer is out of grade Jer-
sey mother, with pure bred Holstein
sire, and, being the best in the west,
shows what improvement good sires
can make in a stock. The other is a
full brother to Sterling, but year
younger, which gives every promise
of outpointing the older champion.
These two animals were shipped
from Moscow ON the Northern Pacific
this morning to Salem for the fair
as part of carload of fine exhibi-
tion stock being taken by Prof. j. c.
Kinzer, assistant in animal husbandry
at the university. and Colin Campbell

SEEKS
BORAH'S SEAT
The "Gov's" Fine Italian
Hand, in the Third Ticket
Program.

Spokesman Review: Further indi-
cations that Governor ]. II. Hawley's
senatorial aspirations are figuring to
some extent to the third state ticket
agitation in Idaho has come to light
as the result of recent visit to
the northern counties of Fred Floed.
Floed. a democrat, is private secre-
tary to Governor Hawley. He spent
several days in the northern counties
and in at least two of the north IdaS
ho counties quietly broached the sub.
ject of the third state ticket In on4
instance he tried to get in touch
with some leading progressives to
egg them on, even going so far as to
suggest that the third party idea
should be carried out clear down the
line to full county tickets.
This would be a big feather in the
cap of Governor Hawley. with his
senatorial aspirations. The Legislature
In Idaho is close. as it stands. If
the Hawley democrats could get the
republicans divided on county candi-
dates, 1t would help the democrats In
carrying the legislature, and Hawley
must have democratic legislature to
realize his ambition.
This rs not the first time the demo-
Gratis have shown their interest In
the third state. ticket move. A. H.
Allen of Boise, who less than two
years ago was publishing a democrat
ic paper and openly supporting Haw-
ley. has all along been one of the
prime movers in the third state tic
ket agitation.
Senator w. E. Borah was unoppos-
ed in the direct primary. Not even
the democrats had a candidate for
United States senator. But the Ida
no primary law only provides one
pledge for candidates of the legisla-
ture and that is that they win sup
port the party choice for United
States senator.
For this reason 1t Is necessary for
the progressive republicans to elect
the republican legislative candidates
to insure the reelection of Senator
Borah. There has been little, If any,
talk from the progressive republicans
for third county tickets and this agi-
tation appears to be mostly confined
to the Hawley republicans.
