Man Who Managed PittsfIed Team
Goes to Wisconsin.

Jimmy" Garry of Dalton, who man
aged the Pittsfield baseball club last
season, has accepted an offer to man
age the Green Bay club in the Wiscon
sin-llllnois league next year. Garry
will probably be playing manager
as he is still capable of putting up a
mighty good game. Nothing gets by
him in the field while he was one of
the best hitters on the Pittsfield team
year ago. He was with Springfield

$50 IN COLD FOR BIG POTATO;
y SIS OFFERED FOR SACK OF Them

Montana has long had a reputation
as a potato country. No section of
the world can produce finer varieties
of the tuber than the Treasure State.
AS proof of this attention has often
been called to the fact that the Bur.
ington railroad maintains farm in
this state where are grown all of the
potatoes used on the dining cars of
that system. What this means is bet
ter appreciated when it is recalled
that the Burlington pierces such
states as Iowa, Illinois, Nebraska, Min
nesota Missouri and Colorado, in all
Of which the potato crop has long
been a leading industry.
In the irrigated portions Of Mon
tana, the valleys of the Gallatin, the
Yellowstone, in the Bitter Root, the
Flathead, on the dry farming benches
of Northern Montana, Dawson and
Fergus counties, in fact in every sec
tion of Montana, potatoes which defy
comparison are grown and the inter
est the farmers are nanifesting in
this crop during the present year is
greater than ever.
Because of this fact the officers OF
the Montana State Fair, who are work.
ing for "Greater Montana" in every
line, are offering special inducements
to potato growers to exhibit at the
fair this fall (Sept. % to 2S). Aside
from tho regular cash prizes offered

This locality was visited by heavy
rain storms OH Thursday, Friday and
Saturday and an almost all day rain
Sunday and Monday. Harvesting
and threshing were delayed for six
days or until yesterday morning when
harvesting was resumed. On some
farms where the grain was extra
heavy it was beaten down and badly
lodged which may necessitate cutting
it with moving machine. While
some slight damage may have been
done to the grain, the large amount
of moisture is great blessing to the
