MONTANA ARBOR DAY MAY II
Requesting That All Observe
the Occasion.

Helena.-Tuesday, May II. will be
Arbor Day in Montana, and Governor
Stewart issued a proclamation desig'
mating that date and requesting that
it be observed. In his proclamation,
the governor says in part
well grounded in the life of the
people of Montana is the custom that
demands the setting aside of one day
in each year for observance in such
manner as will impress upon our citi-
zens in every walk the vital value of
practical conservation of resources.
Year by year the custom grows, and
our people more and more enthusiast
tically enter into the spirit of this day.
which is designed to spread the gospel
of enhanced beauty in landscapes,
beautiful grounds and beautiful home
surroundings On the threshold of
another season of growth and fruit
age, it is we'll for us to pause in our
preparation for the summers actiy-
tiles and give tangible expression to
our contemplation of these things.
Therefore, /, S. V. Stewart, as gov
ernor of the state of Montana, do
hereby designate and set apart, Tues
day, the 18th day of May, 1915, as
Arbor Day"

AIDS DRUNKEN MAN; KILLED.

White Sulphur Springs.-A runaway
occurred near Ringing in which Chas.
Boyd a homesteader near this city,
lost his life. Mr.. and Mrs. Boyd were
returning in a buggy from Ringing,
where they had been doing some shop
ping, and a few miles out of town they
met a drunken farmer driving a pair
of bronchos hitched to a lumber wag-
on. Seeing at once that bad accident
would probably occur when the drunk
en- man reached the fork of the road
where there was a very bad turn, Mr.
Boyd assisted the drunken man into
his buggy, leaving him in charge of his
wife, and started to drive the load of
lumber to the ranch. When Mr. Boyd
reached the forks of the road the team,
being very excitable, got beyond con-
troll and threw him from the wagon,
one horse kicking him in the head and
the wagon passing over his body, kill
ing him instantly.

BIG RESERVOIR is FILLING.
Sun River Canyon Diversion Dam
CompIeted-Result of Years of

Great Falls.-After years of study
and investigation in the solving of en-

two years of actual construction
work, the big diversion dam in the
Sun river canyon has been completed,
the last opening in the structure has
been closed and the waters of the

Workman Meets Tragic Death.

Anaconda.-Edward Duffy, one of
the best-known and best-liked en-
ployes at the concentration, met a trag-
ic death while at work. The exact
time of his death and the manner of
it will never be known, because there
was no eyewitness. His lifeless body
was found whirling on a shaft by John
Kinney, who happened along and gave
the alarm
1t is evident that Mr.. Duffy had ap-
preached the shaft either by crawling
under it or attempting to step over
1t is apparent that bolt or some at
tachment on the shaft caught his
clothing and drew him against it, re-
volving him around it. Both of his
legs below the knees were badly crush
ed by being battered against the sup
porting timbers and Orders. His right
arm was also badly crushed. The up
per part of the body was not battered
and no marks were left on the face.

(By L. R. JoHNsoN.)

|
Fer several years we had noticed
that late in the season our local mar
kets ran bare of large and fine toma
toes, being supplied only with those
| that we're borne on spring-set plants
] and which were running small.
We thought we saw a chance to
make some money by taking advantage
of this deficiency. We reasoned that
if we could set out plants late enough
to ripen their best fruit at this time
that we would find a good demand at
fair prices, regardless of the small
stuff with which the market was gIut-
ted.
For this purpose we chose the Pom
derosa, known as the largest of all
tomatoes, but a sort that is not re-
garded with favor by regular truckers.
Several years trial, however, has
convinced us that it is the best variety
for our late crop and superior to the
standard market kinds.
An old strawberry bed of quarter
acre was deeply plowed in June, after
the berries were gone. The soil was
very rich with mulches of stable ma
nure and the plant tops made a good
green crop to turn under.
The tomato seeds were sown in the
open ground about June 1, and trans
planted to the rows during the first
week in July.
1t happened to be very dry just at
setting time and the plants had to be
watered as set Their start was very
slow and they lost in this way = good
ten days.
There were several heavy rains
while the plants were about a foot
high and after that drought set in
and not another good rain fell till
after frost in November.
Virtually, then, this crop grew, ma
tured and was gathered without bar
rel of water supplied by either man or
nature.
One row along the side was staked
to test this method and four rows were |
made up of the Soma Matchless and |
Truckers Favorite. l willy say that |
the four rows were failures compared |
to others and would have brought us |
little or no profit.
They occupied about one-third of the |
patch and this fact should be consid-
cred in estimating the gross returns
from the quarter acre.

BANK PREVENTS BIG sWINDLE
Fails to Cash Draft Presented by A.
legged Bunco Man--Ranchow ner
Intended Victim.

| Missoula-The story of the opera
tons of a clever swindle at Thompson
Falls by which it was thought for a
while that Robert Rutherford, promi-
nent resident of this city and now own
er of big ranch at Thompson Falls,
had lost $4,000, has come to light. A
well-dressed man, exhibiting all the
outward signs of wealth, appeared in
Thompson looking for land" He gave
the name of C. A. Miner. After look
ing over the surrounding country and
making inquiries as to soil and crops,
he made the acquaintance of Mr.
Rutherford, who owns a l, 400-ranch a
few miles west of Thompson. He rep
resented himself to be acting for a
San Francisco real estate agency that
proposed to colonize the land. After
visiting the Rutherford place, he finally
closed the deal for it's purchase for
$4,000 of which amount $4,000 was
to be paid in cash. Miner gave Ruther-
ford check for $4,000, first payment
on the property, and in consideration
of the mans efforts in promoting the
deal, Rutherford then gave Miner his
personal check for $4,000 as commits
sion. Miner exchanged this check for
New York drafts and left Thompson.
Later information came from Rock
Springs, Wyo., to the effect that the
drafts had been presented and held
there and had not been cashed. Detec-
tives are on Miners trail

WET GRAIN FIELDS
IN EARLY SPRING
First Work Should Be to Provide
Egress for Any Water That
Has Accumulated.

The first work in the spring, wher
the snow begins to melt, or after
heavy rains, is to let off any water
that accumulates in the low places
in the wheat. No matter how care
fully the dead burrows and outlets
may have been made in the fall, there
is more or less to be done in the
spring to provide free egress for the
water.
A few hours work with the hoe and
shovel, after an all-day rain, will often
drain off many gallons of water which
would otherwise soak into the ground
and keep it wet and cold for several
weeks.
In letting off water in the low spots
In the grain fields, commence at the
lower end and make a shallow furrow
with the hoe. 1t is not necessary to
make wide or deep ditch, as this
would destroy too much wheat 1t
should be dug just deep enough to
drain off the water
See that the outlets to the under
drains are open, SO that the water can
pass off quickly. This is very i'm
pOrtant job and is best done by the
farmer himself and not by an inexperi-
enced person. By this method we feel
sure that we save several bushels of
grain and much grass and clover.

CHARGES PLOT TO KILL HER
Says Husband Kept Her Locked in
Closet for Three Weeks-Es-
capes in Automobile.

Laurel.-That she was locked in a
closet for three weeks, while her hus
band entertained another woman in
the home, is the charge made by Mrs
E. B. Bullock, who escaped and mott
fled the authorities.
When officers reached the house
they found that Bullock had fled in
an automobile and kilograms were
sent to Park City, Columbus and
other cities to intercept him.
According to Mrs. Bullock, she was
taken from a Billings hospital to her
home in Laurel three weeks ago by
her husband who locked her in a
clothes closet while a woman named
Mary Hunter took her place. Mrs.
Bullock says she was given drugs
and that her husband and the woman
planned to starve her.

| The staked row did no better and
| most of us thought, not as we'll as the
unstaked vines that sprawled over the
| 16 square feet that each was given, fol
| the rows and plants were four feet
| apart each way.
| Cultivation was given the rows as
long as the tops permitted, which was
not long. Thereafter nothing was done
except to once take the hoe and choE
out a few big weeds that had come up
early and escaped the cultivator.
OF course, under the great drought
the ground soon became dry and hard
as cultivation ceased, and the daily
tramping of the pickers made it still
worse. During October, when the vines
were yielding the most, it looked inn
possible that such a mass of green
tops and fruit should be able to ex-
tract enough moisture from the soil
for their daily needs, which must have
amounted to great deal.
Now for the results: The first bushel
was sold on the eighth of September,
just about two months after the plants
were set. By the fifteenth we were
picking two bushels per day; by the
twentieth, three bushels, and this was
about the average for the rest of the
season.
Parties who had stopped buying,
firing of the little stuff they had beer
getting, renewed their orders.
We then doubled the price, and sold
every tomato we could pick.
We sold direct to the consumer.
In all, the quarter acre produced
SIPS in round figures, without counting
some small lots we sold after frost.
Some of the green ones we kept till
in December. When killing frost
came there were bushels and bushels
of green tomatoes of all sizes still on
the vines and growing right along
after three months without rain.
After the first light frost we picked
20 bushels Of marketable size and
stored them away.
A great many of these tomatoes
a pound. Some believe the
Ponderosa is rough. l deny it. 1t was
easy to find perfect specimens with
out crease in their big tops.
AS for productiveness, have never
seen variety that would beat them. I
have counted dozen pound tomatoes
1T one time on single vine, beside !
many smaller ones.

SCARCITY OF FRESH
EGGS ON THE FARM
Trouble May Be Remedied by
Early Matches of PuIIets-
Give Them Good Care.

During the months of October, No
vember and December of each veal
there is always more or less scarcity
of fresh eggs, and the prices, in con
sequence, go up.
This scarcity is due to two things
in general-the molting period for old
hens and the lack of early Matched
pullets.
1t is at this time Of the year that
the condition powder and the poultry
food man begins to cry his wares, and
it is surprising to see the business
that he does do.
While we believe in the tonic effects
of good condition powder or a sci
entifcally prepared poultry food, we
do not credit these articles with all
that is claimed for them.
They should be used with judgment
IA little goes great way. To accus.
tom the fowls to them is but to lose
their tonic effect.
They are not so much calculated to
make eggs as they are to tone up the
tissues and to keen the appetite. In
that condition the fowl eats more
freely and better assimilates the egg
food that it gets from pure, good grain.
This scarcity of fresh eggs on the
farm can only be remedied by early
matches Of pullets. Pullets Matched in
March and April, and well grown, will
begin laying in the fall, and continue
in the good work right through the
winter. The melting hens will again
start up in January, and by February
the combined work OF the pullets and
the hAns will give good supply OF
eggs, apd it will be noticed that in
February the market prices for eggs
are on the decline.
The great trick is to get the eggs
during the last three months OF the
year, and this can be done By early
pulIets given good housing. good Ted
aud good carr.
