LEGUMES ARE GOOD
NITRATE PRODUCERS
On Average Farm Such Crops
Should Be Depended Upon to
Act as Soil Benefactors.

1.-THE legumes as a source of nitrate
are rather too slow in action to give
real immediate profits when used to
produce great money crops" This is
the statement made by an advocate Of
the use of nitrate of soda on American
soils.
Such a statement should not lead
anyone away from the main fact that
legumes grown with other crops in a
field benefit those other crops the first
year. The second year the soil itself
is much better from having grown the
legumes than if nitrate of soda had
been used and no legumes grown.
Legumes are our natural nitrate pro.
ducers. The nitrogen is cheaper, too,
when furnished us in this form. And
yet we should remember sodium nj.
trate for its value in getting quick re-
suits. 1t Is beneficial to almost every
crop when applied in the right
amounts and at the right time. For
quick results when starting a pasture
on poor land, as an application to or
chard soil for Fastening fruit, in mar
ket gardens where crops demand much
nitrogen, and in many other places
sodium nitrate is indispensable. Such
crops as potatoes, garden and truck
crops grown in colder sections need
quick-acting nitrates in addition to le-
gume nitrogen to push the crops be-
fore the organic source is ready.
But on the average extensive farm
let us depend largely upon the legume

Just to give an example Of a poor

swine numbering over two hundred.
There were ten brood sows-no two
alike In any respect, color not e1-
cepted. as black, red. white and black
spotted, as well as some red and white
spotted. Let US look at the sire. He
was of the nondescript class-neither
a bacon nor a lard hog. with long
nose. long legs. rainbow back and
large ears. What would you be willing
to pay for such pigs? l can give you
the sizes, as l saw several six-months-
old pigs weighed by the butcher who
had purchased them. They averaged
So pounds! Just think Of It! One
weighed 81 pounds, and 1t was not

has on the herd. Had this breeder

ONLY SECONDARY
OEFENSES SUFFER

London, March 24.-The latest au-
thentic information from the Darda-
nelles sets forth positively that only
the secondary defenses of the straits
have suffered from the bombardment
OF the allied fleet; the other forts in
the narrows are intact. This report
finds confirmation in the present
status of the diplomatic situation in
the Near East, which indicates that
the Balkan states are no nearer in
tervention in the quarrel than they
were when the ~battleships of the al
lies first appeared off the Dardanelles.
In spite of the optimistic tone of
the Greek press it is not generally be-
lteved in London that the entente
powers have made any further ad-
,ances to the new Greek cabinet.
while in Grecian circles there is grow
ing an uneasy feeling that Bulgaria
again may assert her primacy in
Balkan affairs by taking the first step
toward active participation in the
struggle.
The lull along the western battle
front now apparently is being dupli-
Gated in the east, where nothing more
than isolated actions are being re-
ported.

statute, so that the contract may be
plain and easy to understand by any
layman. If this is done it will be a
great advantage to all honest county
printers and county officers. If it is
not done there will be continual dis
satisfaction, and reading between the
lines of the governors veto we may
conclude that in that event they would
get no veto to help them out Of the
pit they digged for themselves in the
future.
There was more behind the Paige
bill than appeared on the surface,
however. We do not charge the men,
bers of the legislature with any know
ledge or participation in the matter.
But there is no doubt in our mind
that certain large job printing houses
and binderies, some of them in the
state and some outside the state, skill
fully worked with the weapons the
country printer had put in their
hands with the purpose of getting a
monopoly of the county business in
job printing and book work. They
exaggerated the evils of the present
law and maintained a paid representa-
tive in Helena to do their work with
the legislature according to our in
while the country printers
were asleep"
We agree fully with The Tribune
and the editor of The Courier would
be only too glad to work with a com
mittee to act jointly with the county
commissioners of the state and draft
a bill that would cover all phases of
the situation, and thus get a bill be-
fore the legislature that would be fair

ing how accurate these valuations r
In the United States especially tax
valuations are apt to be pretty low.
while in some foreign countries thew
may be pretty high. For instance. in
New Zealand the per capita wealth of
the country is shown to be greatly
higher than any country in the world.
In fact it is nearly three times as
great per capita as it is in the Unit
ed States. That is not because there
is more wealth per capita in New
Zealand than in the United States.
but because they have a tax law there
which compels the owners of property
to list it at its full selling value, or
stand a chance of the government TAX
ing it off the owners hands at the
price he puts on it for tax purposes.
This little Joker in the New Zealand
tax law, together with a provision that
all concealed taxable property is con-
fscated to the government, tends to
make the New Zealand property own
ers anxious to have his property in
the tax list at somewhere near the
true selling value of it. From figures
given above, it would seem that wal

the great nations of Europe without

THE WEALTH OF NATIONS

The latest edition of the Worlds
Almanac gives the following figures
concerning the total wealth of the
nations now at war: Great Britain
and Ireland, IS billions of dollars.
Germany 80 billions, France so bill
lions, Russia 40 billions, Austria-Hun-
gary 25 billions. This would put IT'S
billions to the credit of the allies and
los billions to the credit of the Ger
manic allies. These figures are, how
ever, somewhat decentive because thew
are based on tax lists and do not take
account of property owned in other
countries. For instance, the immense
investments made all over the world
by British capital are not included in
this total. The same statement an
plies to the other countries, also. but
Great Britain has far larger invest
ments abroad than any of the other
nations at var Lloyd George, the fin
ancial minister of Great Britain. has
been quoted as saying hat Great Bri-
tain could pay the entire cost of this
war, even if it lasts for many years,
from the proceeds of the country's
foreign investments without touching
the nations home resources, were such
course necessary.
The wealth of the United States is
placed at $50 billions of dollars NV
the same authority. That would give
about $500 for every man, woman
and child in the country, if it were
evenly divided as some people would
like to see it. Put at interest at five
per cent, it woul donly add 1925 to

an even division of all the wealth of

be disappointed in the amount CON-
ing to them. In fact a great many
of them would spend their share in
a mighty short time, and a few years
would see a totally new distribution
of it in which the vast bulk of the

Governor Stewart came to the res
cue of the printers of the state of
Montana when he vetoed the Paige
bill, relating to county printing, ;ost
week. The Paige bill was plainly a
measure introduced and backed by big
printing houses outside the state, and
these houses, working with the know
ledge that the county commissioners
of the state wanted a change in the
present law, managed to hoodwink the
solons Of the state into passing a law
that was grossly unjust to the printers
Of the State of Montana.
Commenting on the Governors veto
the Great Falls Tribune says:
"The present county printing law
is abominable in some respects. Per-
haps the worst feature of the statute
is its vagueness of description where
it comes to fix prices for various kinds
of job printing and ruled and bound
books. W. venture the assertion right
o that half a dozen expert printers
could not be selected outside the state
and handed a copy of the Montana
statute to guide them, and produce
the sam figures applied to the last
years book and job printing of any
county in the state. Very few county
commissioners or auditors in the state
pretend to be able to check the bills
presented to them by the county prin-
ters under the statute. The law need
ed a revision and reform in this res
pect long ago. The prices to be paid
should have been made so plain that
any business man could pass on them
mtelligently. Because the newspaper
men generally opposed any change in
the law, fearing financial loss from
such changes, they brought the Paige
bill with its hostile purpose down on
their W head. The fact is that in
some instances the statutory rates at
present ever when fairly interpreted
work out into a grossly exorbitant
price. These are often quoted by dis
appointed bidders to prejudice the sue
cessful applicant with the taxpayers.
1t has this effect also. These prices
should be cut out and reasonable ones
subtituted. On the other hand the
public never hears of the prices that
are too low. A few months ago The
Tribune sent four books to a county
IN the southern part of the state
which the county printer sold to his
county for just $50 less than The Tri-
bune had to charge him for the work
after figuring the charge down to
nearly cost to ourselves. Some of the
statutory rates + altogether too low.
some of them are very much too high.
1t is up to the newspaper men to cure
these evils by a division of prices
and the elimination of all technical
terms and vague provisions out of the
