BOYS CORN CONTEST.
Three Hundred Exhibits at Farm
Products Show at BILLINGS,

Three Hundred Exhibits at Farm
Products Show at Billings.
Nearly 300 corn exhibits were sent
In to the Farm Products Show at Bill
ings, Oct. 1926, by the boys in the
various school districts of Yellow.
stone county. A marked improvement
was observed in this exhibition over
those of previous years. The boys
are becoming very keen in selecting
the right kind of show ears and are
evidently paying much attention to
the choice Of seed corn.
The effect Of this interest in corn
growing on the part of Yellowstone
county boys is tremendous. Not only
are they producing a crop of large in.
trinsic value, but they are producing
a type of corn peculiarly adapted to
Montana. They r sweeping away
the skepticism that has prevailed IN
til recently in regard to the practica.
bility OF growing corn here. They are
interesting a large circle Of friends
and acquaintances in their enterprise.
They are distributing good seed. They
are also developing character and be-
coming men that are creators of
wealth and not mere parasites on so.

STANDARD POTATOES,
Best Type Should Be Smooth, True to
Variety and Uniform.

Best Type Should Be Smooth, True to
Variety and Uniform.
In Judging potatoes exhibited at sew.
eral county fairs this fall I have been
struck with the wide variation in
standards of exhibitors. With some
size seems to be the important con-
sideration. Many select tubers of uni
form size and shape, but their types
of exhibits differ widely from each
other. Some have apparently no
standard whatever and take all sorts
and sizes just as they come.
The best type Of potato ia not the
largest but is, rather, medium or just
a trife over medium size. It should
be smooth, true to variety type, and
uniform. Deep eyes r wasteful in
preparing for use, SO eyes should be
even with the surface. The potato
should hold it's size we'll towards the
ends and not bulge in the middle. Par
ticularly should a tapering seed end
be avoided. On the contrary, select
tubers that are broad and full in the
seed end.
1t is best to select by the hill at
digging time. choosing hills of great
est uniformity approaching the type
desired. The potato is an under
ground stem. Eyes are buds. There
fore by cutting you as closely repro
duce the parent stock az in apple
scions or peach buds.-F. s. Cooley.

STACKING GRAIN,
Saving From Damage and Loss More
Than Offsets Expense.

Than Offsets Expense.
Thousands of bushels OF wheat and
fax have been seriously injured or
spoiled this fall by lying on the ground
or in small shocks, being soaked with
rain and melting snow. There are not
enough threshing outfits to handle the
grain in the field quickly, and if there
were the season would be too short to
be profitable to threshermen. With
the system of threshing from the
shock, injury to grain, long delays in
work, and other difficulties are bound
to occur.
While 1t is expensive to stack grain
on a large scale, the saving from dam.
age and loss, the insurance against
loss, the avoidance of delays in work
while waiting for grain to dry OF, and
the 9 Of stubble fields for pasture
OF sheep, pigs and other live stock
will in most cases more than Offset
the expense Of stacking.
Small farmers are doing this to a
large extent already and in so far are
farming better than the larger opera
tors.
It is a distinct advantage to get the
fields cleared for live stock to CLEAN
and ready for fall blowing. It is de.
sirable to relieve the tension at thresh.
ing time, prolong the aso for
threshing, and distribute the seasons
work. Grain may be threshed in the
stack after the ground freezes.-F. s.
