ENDORSES MISS AosTETLER.
Citizens Committee Commends Her
Candidacy for County superintendent.

Citizens committee SommehcS TIER
Candidacy for County Superintendent.
To the Republican Voters Of Mar
shall County: We, a committee of the
patrons of our schools, hereby COM
mend the candidacy Of Miss Mary E.
Hostetler for county superintendent.
Under her administration, her faithful
service. and executive ability, our
schools have reached the highest
standard OF excellency. In this i'm
portant office, which affects our chill
dren. we can not afford to take the
chances of making any mistake. We
have a school superintendent of the
highest degree Of efficiency. To say
that we must, for political reasons,
discharge a faithful public servant ev-
cry few years, is unjust to that serE-
ant, and poor business policy. This
is peculiarly true in the office OF
county superintendent. No person, no
matter how competent, can be able to
/ accom- plish for US what Miss Hostetler
can. Let's forget politics and vote for
the best interest Of our children and
our schools-a vote for Miss Hostetler.
That means a cross in the square OPP
/ posile her name.
We respectfully urger that thes mat
tiers be considered by you when your
! vote next Monday.
Respectfully submitted.

bia. Mo, has been a member of the
faculty of the Montana state agricul-
tural college at Bozeman for the past
few years, having had charge of the
animal nusbandry department Of the
school. He made SO good in this work
that the attention of l.. G. Phelps, a
wealthy stock breeder Of Wyoming,
was attracted 10 the young man. and
the result was that he was employed
TO take charge Of the immense guam
titles OF live stock on the Phelps ranch.
In addition to a good salary, Mr..
Griffin is provided with nice home
for himself and his mother, light and
fuel and everything for his table. He
is also furnished with an automobile to
he used in his work. as the ranch is
forty miles from the nearest railway
station. Mr. Griffin left Bozeman for
Meteetse today with a car containing
his personal property.
The Anaconda, Mont, Standard says
of Mr. Griffin's new position:
The resignation has just been an
nounced of Harvey P. Griffin. who for
the past three years has been an in
Structor in the animal industry depart
ment Of the college. Mr.. Griffin's res
ignation was made in order to accept
the very fiattering offer of a position
80 manager Of the l. c: PHELPS stock
ranch of $4,000 acres near Meteetse,
Wyo. This is one of the most import
ant ranches in the state of Wyoming.
and is stocked with 5000 Hereford cat
tie. and uses 800 saddle horses. 1t is
a very responsible position to be given
to young man. and makes splen-
dia opportunity in commercial work.
Mr.. Griffin. during his connection
with the Montana state college, has
made many friends, and has a wide
acquaintance among the stockmen OF
Montana. In the last three years he
has trained the young men of the col
lege in stock judging. and accompanied
the college team last fall to the inter-
national stock show in Chicago, where
his team made an excellent showing
against many of the older states.
In going to Wyoming Mr.. Griffin
does not altogether sever his connec-
ton with the Montana stock interests.
He will retain his associate editorship
of the Northwestern Stockman and
Farmer. of Helena. and will continue
in charge OF the stock judging contest
and of the hog department Of the Mon
tana state fair"

Michael has evidently impressed the

Not only has Bessarabia been back

system Of marketing is even worse
The state is third as large as Iowa
and has but two lines Of railroads, and
they are not well located for moving
grain to market. One of the next pro-
jects in which the government Is likely
to interest itself. due to Mr.. Michaers
enterprise, is the organization of
grain marketing bureau. The purpose
of this bureau will be to devise means
of connecting the grain grower with
the world market, whereas he now sells
to buyer who visits the farm, sets his
own price on the produce and takes 1t
away as best he can, usually in wagons
drawn by oxen, and over roads

Bessarabia, Russia.
In Russia corn is grown mainly for
human food, and in addition to this is
an important article OF export. 1t has
been one of the leading crops Of south
ern Russia for generations, yet the
methods of cultivation are strikingly
unlike those practiced in this country.
For example the seed is sown broad
cast and some weeks later when the
corn is foot or so in height and the
weeds probably more. cultivation and
thinning are begun with the hoe. The
ground by this time is usually dry and
iumpy and the peasant chops away
with his hoe, frequently cutting off
nearly all the roots Of the corn plant
The yield under this treatment is sell
dom above fifteen bushels per acre.
Increased Yield.
Mr.. Michaers ambition was to dem
onstrate the possibility Of much
larger WELD and the first year sue
ceeded in producing sixty bushels per
acre on a large field. Moreover. this
was produced at a profit. Much of the
farm land of Bessarabia is owned in
large tracts by wealthy families. In
addition 10 these big estates there are,
however, many small farms owned by
the peasants themselves. In either
case the pea SAINT is the tiller Of the soil
and before improved methods can be
introduced, it is necessary to interest
him IN it. This has not proved an easy
task.
