Chamber of Commerce Aim
10 Secure Farming Instructor

During the past week l.. A. Ras-
musson in behalf of the Chamber of
Commerce went before the County
Commissioners for the purpose Of as
certaining the sentiment of the county
board regarding their setting aside an
appropriation for the payment of the
salary for an instructor in farming.
AS provided by the laws of Montana
the county board if they see fit may
set aside an amount for the purpose
suggested. The newly organized
Chamber of Commerce offers to foot
half the expense occasioned by an
instructor for year. His work will
be to assist in the instruction of the
farmer or anyone else who may be
interested in the methods of better
farming. 1t is the intention of the
Chamber to secure an instructor from

is to run it through the thresher
which may undergo few changes in
the concaves, rather than husking in
the ordinary manner.
In his twenty minute stereoptican
lecture he dwelt upon the use Of the
pit silo, which is nothing more than a
large cistern properly covered. Pro-
fessor Wilson illustrated in conclusion
better method for the raising OF al
falfa. 1t may be raised by the dry
farmer with equally as good results
as can the farmer with irrigated land
but not, of course, with so large a
yield. 1t is quite certain that in the
near future there will be an instruc-
tor employed in Dawson county who
will help in the organization of farm
ers clubs, in teaching the farmer bet
ter methods of agriculture, building
of silos and especially in the culture
of corn, the raising of which will
assure most prosperous community.

County Treasurer Barnett Tenders
Resignation

County Treasurer l.. r. Barnett
rendered his resignation yesterday, tc
take effect on June 1. Mr.. Barnett
has felt for some time that his health
demands more of his time in the open
and he realizes that the Office he now
has charge of does not give him
ample opportunity to be out of doors
as much as he would wish.
His work as county official has
been most praiseworthy. Everyone
with whom he has become acquainted
will regret that he has been forced tc
make this decision. During the sum-
mer to come he will reside two miles
from the city of Missoula, where he
has home. The best wishes of q
community attend him.

Petition For Wibaux
County Granted
After Four Years Consistent Campaign Wibaux
Proponents Succeed In Securing Petition.
Sufficient Valuation In Territory

After four years of ''watchful
waiting" and consistent campaign
the progressive little city of Wibaux
has finally been able to secure new
county out of the territory tributary
to them. They came before the coun-
ty commissioners last week fully pre-
pared. The valuation was sufficient
and the number Of petitioners great
enough to satisfy the board that their
request for county was worthy one.
Attorneys Steve Leahy and Judge
Loud represented the proponents.
Attorney Ed Booth, Of the Baker con-
tingent had a few Withdrawals to
enter before the county commission
ers gave assent to the resolution that
in all probability will occasion the
creation Of the new county of Wibaux.
That Wibaux will be the new county
seat is nearly certainty as is also
the probability that an election in the
proposed territory will carry. In
brief, the new county embraces a
territory running to the north line of
township 10. On the west the county
line comes within eighteen miles of
Glendive. On the south the new
county will cut into Fallon county
nearly 80 miles to township 10. The
new county will include Dennis but
will exclude Carlyle. The amount Of
va}uatiDn will -exceelf stixes md pne-
quarter millions which will leave in

Prof. Wilson Addresses
Chamber of Commerce
Instructor From State Agricultural School Ad-
dresses Members on Better Farming
Methods Thursday

The first good results that the new
To- organized Chamber Of Commerce
,sve brought about was in making it
oossjble for Professor Wilson Of the
Montana State Agricultural College,
70 address the gathering of the bus
mess men of the city at the initial BIZ
weekly luncheon today. Professor
Wilson's lecture related to what the
knsjness men and farmers are most
interested in throughout the whole
northwest. He reminded his hearers
Of the fact that the solution of the
question of prosperity for farmers and
merchants as we'll, was in a good sys-
tenn of diversified farming. He called
attention to the fact that better farm
;og in other localities has been the
reason for better land values. The
better farming movement was initiat-
ed by the farmers of North Dakota,
especially the bankers Of that state,
who realized that inasmuch as the
raising of small grain was but tenn
porary, without a practical diversified
system, the wealth that had been in
vested would each year depreciate.
Dakota plan has proved successful.
The plan by which the better farm
ing campaign may be carried into
execution is partly thru information
received from instructors sent out
from the state schools where better
methods of farming are desired The
laws Of the state Of Montana provide
Yellowstone monitor. [volume] (Glendive, Mont.) 1905-1928, 1914-04-09

that in any county where 81 per cent
of the voters are in favor, the county
commissioners are empowered to ap.
propriate an amount not exceeding
$l0O per month for the employment OF
an instructor to teach better farming
methods. In the case of Dawson
county the Glendive Chamber of Com
merce have offered to meet half the
expenses of an instructor.
Prof. Wilson called attention to
the fact that in order to get the most
out of the land the farmer must pay
great attention to stock. eff farmers
go in for stock, he said 1.-THE long
wished for lower rates of interest
will be secured Attention was
called to the experiments made with
corn at Wibaux. He displayed sew
eral samples of corn that was raised at
Wibaux which yielded in the numbers
Of bushels as high as 54 to the acre
under normal climatic conditions. In
this section the corn needs different
system of culture. He considered the
most desirable variety RI ha the Man
dan Indian corn which was matured
by the Mandan Indians decades ago
and who are considered by scientists
to have been the best farmers Of corn
of any tribe Of North American Ind
ian. This variety Of corn grows very
close to the ground and cannot be
in the same manner as the
other corn. The most practical way

Dawson. if the proposed county of
Richland carries, more than eight mil
lions valuation. The probabilities are
that when it comes to vote, which
will most likely be on Aug. / or
thereabouts, the electors in the terri
tory proposed will indorse the PROPOSE
tion by vote of 8 to /. Unlike the
of Richland, from the
results and the length Of time it took
the board to decide the Wibaux con-
tingent, had everything in readiness.
When they presented their proposition
and showed what they had to submit
in proof of the sincerity of their
electors it was readily seen that they
had the goods. The granting of their
request was matter of mere formal
ity. Even Ed. Booth seemed at the
start to realize that all the Wibaux
bunch had to do was to file their
petitions and await the result. No
excitement marked the proceedings as
in the case Of Richland. No writs of
certiori will be filed. There is no
doubt as regards the result of the
election. Wibaux is to have county
all her own after years of patient ef-
fort to create one. They hive DEM
onstrated the efficiency of good cam
paign. They came with the proper
credentials and returned the winners.
Noble effort on their part has brought
to them the results they had 50 long
anticipated.

Another Court House Comment.

Commenting on the editorial
which appeared in The Times last
week with reference to the action
of the com missioners for the new
county court house, the York
vile Enquirer has the following
in it's Saturday issue, to which
we do not care to reply further
than to say that neither The
Enquirer nor any of those who
have opposed the commission has
shown that the taxpayers of the
county will lose 1916, ZOO and
probably as much as $50, 900" by
designating the site of the old
building as that of the new
building:
The Times reviews the whole
matter with assurance and COM
placency that seems to leave no
doubt of its belief that it thor
oughly understands the whole
thing. We think very materially
from the view expressed above
in most particulars. Of course,
that real estate values have been
a consideration, we do not ques-
ton. Any reasonable man
should know that; but it is hard
ly, fair to suggest that one side
is more selfish than the other in
that particular. If personal in
terests have been defeated, per-
sonal interests have won. But
we do not think that the people
who have been trying to. pre-
vent the location of the new
building on the old site have
been actuated by personal inter
ests. We think they have been
trying to save the old building
to the county, and at the same
time save to the taxpayers not
less than $4,000 and probably
as much as $4,000. To our view
the proposition is so clear that it
admits OF no question. In its
statement that there will be no
further legislation, we fear that
Fhe Times is correct; but never
theless we still believe that a
very great mistake is being made
by the board Of commissioners"

eases. 1t was quite a while be-
fore Lancaster got in a complete
system of waterworks. but our
people have been drinking pure,

and there have been compara-
lively few cases of fever since

risk of fire, but the chief con-
sideration is the health of the
community. The voters of Fort
Mill would do we'll while they
have the question up not to stop
with bonds for water, but to is
sue enough bonds to install a
sewerage system as well. Lam
caster, last fall, voted an ad-
ditional issue of bonds to the
amount of $4,000 for sewerage,
street improvement and exten-
sion of the water mains. You
are right, contemporary. in lining
yourself up on the side of prog
ress for your town. The bond
issue for water means a great
deal to the future welfare of
Fort Mill. We hope the town
will take this important step
forward.

White Teacher. in Negro Schools.

White Teachers in Negro Schools.
When a matter of general in
terest comes up on which The
Times thinks it wise to comment,
one of the things it never con-
sjders is the attitude of other
papers on the subject. This is
no "me too" paper. If the stand
other papers take upon matters
in which the public is concerned
is in line with our convictions,
all right and good; if not, that is
the business of the other papers
and is a matter of no great mo-
ment in this office. Now, how
ever, the time seems opportune
to observe that in practically
every important matter of State
wide interest there is a class of
South Carolina country papers
which await the opinion of GER
tain daily papers and as soon as
the opinion becomes available
fall in behind the dailies like a
flock of sheep in the wake of
the bellwether and follow whittier
they leadeth. Just now there is
before the State Senate the bill
which passed the House few
days ago prohibiting white per-
sons from teaching in negro
schools in this State, and we
notice with some interest that
more than one of our weekly
contemporaries, evidently get
ting their inspiration from daily
sources, are up in arms against
the proposed law. In this office
quite the contrary view of the
bill is taken. We hope the
bill will pass the Senate and re-
ceive the approval of the Gov
ernor within a few days. All
the newspaper comment we have
seen claiming that the passage
of the bill will be step baek-
ward and tend to drive negroes
from the Commonwealth because
of the7 allegation that it will be
persecution, certainly is not
meant to be taken seriously by
the intelligent readers of these
papers. If it is, the writers do
not know the public with which
they are dealing. If Charleston
wishes to disgrace herself in the
eyes of Southern sentiment and
sense by employing white women
to teach the negro children of
that community, it is high time
the balance Of the State were
giving her some instruction in
the way not to promote social
equality. So far as this section
of South Carolina is concerned
and we have no reason to be-
lieve that conditions are ma
terially different in most COM
munities in the State-no man
could go on the stump and be
elected to office on platform in
opposition to the bill. The bill
is a good one and ought to be
passed without any fuss or
feathers, noise or nonsense. And
If it is not passed at this session
of the Legislature, similar bills
are apt to come up at recurring
sessions of that body until the
statute books finally contain
some such law. We hope the
York County Senator will give
the bill the benefit of his voice
and vote.
