DRY LAND FARMERS At
MONTANA STATE FAIR

The dry-land farmers of Mon
tana were given recognition by
the Montana state fair at the re-
cent meet of the fair board when
a sum of 1000 was authorized
as premiums to be awarded in
the non-irrigated division for
dry-land farmers. After many
requests from farmers, exhib-
itors and judges, the fair direc-
tors decided last winter to elm
mate the non-irrigated division
and put both types of irrigated
and dry-land products on the
same basis, but so many requests
have been made recently in be-
half of the non-irrigated division
that it was deemed advisable to
re-establish it.
The prizes will be awarded in
seventy-six lots for grains and
seeds, vegetables, root crops,
forage crops, and sheaf exhibits.
Inasmuch as these awards are
not listed in the premium catalog
which has been sent out over the
state, a circular specifying the
separate prizes is being mailed
to every farmer in the state who
received a catalog. While the
awards as outlined in the 1914
catalog amounted to the same as
last year, the addition of $50
will increase the awards this
year above those of any previous
fair. Although the entries last
year increased Sc 1-2 per cent
over 1912, it is estimated that,
with the revival of the dry-land
division, this years entries will
far exceed those of 1913.

GOOD ROADS MEETING

The officers and committee of the
State Good Roads Association are
certainly putting forth every effort
to make the Congress that assemblies
at Great Falls August 10, II and IL,
not only an occasion of entertainment
and pleasure, but as we'll of practical
worth and good roads promotion, and
those of our people of the state who
are interested in good roads will miss
the opportunity of life time if they
do not attend this congress.
The committees of the congress
are working in harmony with the com.

LOSE FIRST
WIN SECOND

The farmers or Round Butte
team played with the Mission
Reds July 4 and 5. The first
game was lost through over-con-
fdence on the part of the Round
Butte players after they had the
game sewed up and clinched.
The score stood a to l and a
COUPLE of bad plays let in the
winning runs. Joe White pitch
ed a splendid game and Tom
Wagner caught his offerings in
his usual effective manner.
The second game was played
Sunday afternoon and the result
was altogether different. Earl
Wagner was sent in to do the
twirling for the Round Butte
boys and kept going so good he
was allowed to finish. The score
at the finish was 5 to l, and but
for a slight bobble would have
been a shut-out.

Stevensville Wins.

In the series of ball games at Mis-
soula July 3 and a, in which four
teams contested for the championship
of Western Montana, the Mineral
county team made splendid showing
Judges of good ball are of the opinion
that the St. Regis team, while losing
to Bonner, was really the classiest
aggregation in the bunch. Hard luck
throughout and the accident in the
last half of the sixth inning, when
Mr.. Danlin broke his ankle in sliding
into third base, lost the game for St.
Regis. The Mineral county boys had
down to business and was taking the
Bonner bunch into camp on a loap,
but the accident to Danln and the loss
of his assistance had bad effect and
from that time on there was little
hope of victory. The game, however
was of big league quality and the
best of the entire series.
The morning game of July 3 was
between Stevensville and Paradise, the
former winning easily. 1t was a poor
exhibition of ball playing throughout

When to Cut Alfalfa.

For all classes of animals except
horses, alfalfa should be cut for hay
when the new shoots or stems begin
to appear at the crown. These are
easily seen just as they came up
among the old stems at about the
beginning of blossom time. Cutting
earlier than this is not desirable or
profitable, since the yield will be small
er and the hay will be more difficult to
cure. 1t should not be allowed to
get much beyond this stage for two
reasons: (D Although somewhat
heavier first cutting of hay can be Sc
cured by allowing it to stand longer
than the time recommended, the hay
is neither as palatable nor as nutri-
tious. (2) Leaving the first crop af-
ter it is at the proper stage to cut
delays and reduces the second crop
since the new shoots coming from the
crown are cut off with the first crop.
When alfalfa is to be fed to horses
it may be allowed to grow slightly
longer than when it is to be fed to cat
tie, but it should never be left until
the second crop is injured in cutting
the first crop.

the utmost attention during the
entire speech. He dealt with all
the questions in a fair-minded
manner, handling each subject
with marked ability, showing
much thought and study. His

WORKING FOR IMMIGRATION
TO THE INLAND EMPIRE

The Spokane chamber Of COM
merce has inaugurated a cam
paign to induce middle west
farmers to come to the Inland
empire and buy the rich, un-
developed farming land. In this
work they seek the assistance of
all the communities which would
be benefited by the influx of the
men and capital they hope to Sc
cure.
A conference was held in Spo-
kane June 20 and 30, at which
representatives Of over 49 towns
and cities were present and plans
agreed upon to advertise the
lands and set before the farmers
of other states the advantages to
be gained by buying land in
Washington, Idaho and Western
Montana.

action will be taken which will
result in the cutting Of the mus
tard on the main street at least.
Property owners should be
cautioned to cut the weeds on
their property, but the town
should take care of the same in

buildings, will cost in excess Of $4,000
and the committee has also secured
many of the carnival entertainment
attractions for the entire period of
the Good Roads Congress, The fes-
tivities of the occasion are being
abundantly attended to, so that every
attendant will be guaranteed three
days of the biggest and best time
Good Roads people ever had at a
state meeting.
But the committees at the same
time have not been neglecting any
detail of the real business of the as
sembly and are formulating a program
that will make every session of the
Congress, while being intensely inter
sting, essentially instructive and in
addition to the papers and addresses
by the ablest men on ways and means
and good roads making, a machinery
exhibit will be installed within easy
street car reach that will be the most
expensive and elaborate display of
road making and farm machinery ex-
hibited in the entire northwest, the
promoters of this display now being
assured of over 100 car loads of mach
inery, and figure that the placing and
making of the exhibit will cost over
100000, and that this will be on display
as free exhibit to those attending the
Good Roads Congress. This machin-
cry exposition will give delegates an
opportunity to see the greatest variety
of road making machinery at work
making good roads and the mast prac-
tical opportunity to investigate both
machines and methods.
In the development of especially the
agricultural areas of Montana the
immediate future is going to require
an enormous investment in road MAX
ing machinery, and it will certainly
pay every county in the state to have
tits commissioners, at the expense Of
the respective counties, attend this
congress and investigate this great
display Of road making machinery.
There is no investment so important
and none that produces 50 large a re-
turn on the investment as money pro.
perly expended in good road making,
and percontra, there is no investment
so poor or money so completely
thrown away as money invested in
poor road making and the attempted
maintainance thereof, and the cost in
Cured by sending County Commits
sioners to this congress to post them
selves on modern good roads making
and give them the opportunity to in
vestigate all lines of road making
machinery in active operation, will be
but a small bagatelle to the money
that will be saved the counties through
the knowledge acquired by their COM
missioners. !
Every delegate to the good roads
congress, every mayor and every
county commissioner and every road
supervisor, every visitor to the good
Roads Congress and the Great Falls
Jubilee and every man interested in
good road making and better farming
in the state of Montana is invited to
this machinery exposition.

SMALL ATTENDANCE At
THE IRRIGATION PICNIC

The irrigation picnic adver-
tised for Monday, July 6, at the
state experiment farm six miles
southwest of Roman, was not
very we'll attended. The meet
ing came too soon after the
Fourth to draw the attendance
that it merited, but those who
were present felt we'll repaid for
the trouble. J. A. McGeorge,
in charge of the farm, had erected
a temporary shelter for the COM
fort of the speakers and those
who came, and the shade afford
ed was thoroughly appreciated.
Prof. Atkinson of Bozeman
was in attendance and spoke
ably on farm management and
farm tillage. He was followed
by l. D. O'Donnell, a member of
the national irrigation board.
Mr.. O'Donnell is recognized as
one of the most competent prac-
tical irrigators in the country,
having had more than rs years
actual experience on his GAO acre
farm in the Yellowstone valley
near Billings, The fact that he
is also a member of the national
irrigation board, recently organ
lied by Secretary Lane, made
his remarks all the more inter-
esting to his listeners. His words
were eagerly listened to, his ans
wers to questions put by home
steaders were plain and instruc-
tive. He promised reforms in
many respects and stated that
what has always been referred
to as "red tape" would be cut
from the service as rapidly and
as extensively as possible.
Mr.. Loewenstein spoke in be-
half of the farmers of the south
ern end of the valley and stated
that it was their desire to have
Mr.. O'Donnell and other gentle
men holding high positions in the
reclamation service meet them
at their local gatherings and talk
over the complaints of the home-
steaders. He said the farmers
wanted to state their grievances
personally to some one who had
authority to act, not to someone
who would have to first refer
every little thing to officials
higher up, who in turn would.
have to report to the next official
in line, the matter being finally
lost sight of in the long line of
red tape necessary to reach the
man or men at the top. Mr..
O'Donnell promised to meet them
later this summer at their local
meetings and assured his hearers
that he would gladly assist them
in doing away with much of the
red tape complained Of.

WALSH'S BILL
BECOMES A LAW

1@OO1u@O - .st ~
President Jos. A. Lemire of
the Roman commercial club, re-
ceived the following telegram
Tuesday from Congressman j.
M. Evans.
Washington, July 6.-Bill per-
mitting assignment of homestead
entries on Flathead passed today
and will be signed by the presi-
dent in a few days.
(Signed) JIM. EVANS.
This bill is the one introduced
in the senate by Senator Walsh
and had passed the senate some
time ago and the word that the
house had also passed the meas
ure came as good news to every
body here.
There has been so much un-
certainty over the right of home
steaders to assign their interests
in the land after proof that it has
caused much discussion and many
were afraid to invest in the land
with the question unsettled. To
remedy this matter Senator
Walsh introduced a bill giving
the homesteader the right to as
sign his interests and remove
the uncertainty. Now that it is
the law there will be no difficulty
in selling in the future from this
source.
The courts, in every proba-
bility, would have held that a
homesteader had the right to
dispose of whatever interest he
may have had in the land, with
out this bill having been intro
duced and passed, but with the
question in the courts it might
have been a long drawn out fight
and would have been an expens-
i've matter. 1t is much better,
therefore, to have congress pass
the bill in the interest of economy
to the homesteader and to settle
once and for all the question as
to the right of the homesteader
to dispose of his land by deed,
or mortgage the interest he may
have acquired in the land.
1t has been a source of much
embarrassment to a great many
who now live here who have
been asked by visitors and prob
able buyers of land, "How about
the title?" To be compelled to
answer, and tell the exact truth,
has been the cause of the en-
barrassment. To have to say
that there was a question as to
the right of the homesteader to
sell or assign has almost invar-
iably resulted in the deal falling
through. Hereafter this will not
be the case.
The Pioneer congratulates
Senator Walsh and Congressman
Evans on their success in secur-
ing the passage of the measure.
