I. But If you want to listen to man
ho has blazed new trails, who is ris-
ing to the top of his profession and is
becoming known from one end of the
United States to the other, be sure and
hear Professor Cummings on the 2Sth.
The question which immediately con
fronts the high school board is wheth-
er the farmers of Fergus county want
Professor Cummings to go ahead with
his work for them. and. if so. are they
willing to vote the money which It
will require. At present our high
school levy is only two mills, one of
the lowest in the state. In Flathead
county they have been levying four
mills and are talking of increasing it
to five mills. 1t is the farmers of that
county who are demanding the in
crease to five mills and it is the busi-
ness men and town people who are op-
posing it. Nothing could speak more
oloq,sently OF what the Flathead far
mers think about the work the county
high school has done for them
A levy of three mills will furnish
plenty of money to expand our high
school along agricultural lines as
planned by the board and Professor
Cummings. But the buildings will
have to be enlarged and that will take
a bond issue, which the voters must
authorize. Farmers compose an over
whelming majority of the voters of
Fergus county, so they, and they only.
will decide whether or not the high
school is enlarged. Ninety per cent
of the money laid out will go for the
benefit of the farmers and students
from outside of Lewistown.
Carl Peterson, county agricultural
agent, the Lewistown Chamber of
Commerce and the College OF Agricul-
ture at BoZeman are all willing and
anxious to cooperate with our high
school and make it an instrument of
service to the whole community. The
business men of Lewistown, unlike
those Of kalispell, are willing to see
the tax money spent for the benefit OF
the farmers, for they realize that Lew
istown can grow only as the farming
country around it prospers and grows
The board wants to see the high
81 hool not only bring its work home
to the people, but they want to see il
help along the work Of Carl Peterson
and the college at Bozeman. Being
right on the ground and in close. con
tinual touch with the farmers of the
county, it can help with their work
ana give it an effectiveness nothing
else could. Local problems, such as
seed and cream testing, disease ap
pcaring in grain fields or among live
stock, weed eradication and hundred
other questions, viii all be referred tt
the county high school, and by them
when necessary, to Bozeman. The
high school is right on the ground ant
can give The matter personal attention
at once. In time, every county higl
| school in the state will undoubtedly
become a sort Of agricultural prepara
tory school, working under the direc
tion cf Bozeman. Whether this comes
about in Fergus county depends entire
ly Gil whether the farmers think it i
worth while. Professor Cummings
and the board are willing to do thei
part. Carl Peterson and Bozeman viii
do theirs. The rest is up to you.

Notwithstanding that black rust

be the prevailing view at Liverpool
that North American supplies were
large and We're likely to increase in the
near future.
Rain in Kansas, Nebraska. Iowa and
Illinois gave the bears the advantage
