Helena.-"The shipper who will use

This is the stand taken by a mem
Der of the state railroad commission,

a report from the general superinten-
dent of the Great Northern that the
road was having considerable trouble
in furnishing sufficient cars to handle
the grain crop, and telling of cars be-

"Demurrage bureau all over the
United States" continued the COM

ity to increase demurrage rates, and
an application of this kind has been

"The Montana commission would
deplore very much the possibility of
having to use such an extreme rem
edy as increasing demurrage rate to
cure such a situation as apparently
exists at Big Sandy"

ALL BLAINE COUNTY
REPORTS GOOD CROPS

Harlem From all parts of Blaine
county come reports that the crops
are good this year, much better, in
fact, than was expected earlier in the
season.
So far Orville Kilmar is the cham
pion second bench wheat grower. He
threshed 80 bushels Of wheat per acre
off the Mathewson place, four miles
north of here. This wheat was plant
ed early and escaped the rust.
Fred Radke, whose place is u
miles northwest of here, reports a
yield of nearly Is bushels of wheat
per acre. This was grown on we'll
titled and summer fallowed land. At
the elevator he received better than
$3.50 per bushel.
Harvey TIGHTER, who runs a thresh-
ing rig on the flat, says the grain he
has threshed generally ran fair. The
best flax be has threshed this season
was ON the Arthur Wing place. 1t
Welded mare than 10 bushels an acre.
This is the best flax yield reported
this season and it was on spring
breaking at that.

PLANTING TREES
GOOD INVESTMENT
MAKE YOUR HOUSE A HOME
INSTEAD OF A MERE PLACE
TO EXIST.
List of Shrubs and Plants Recon-
mended by the Montana Expert
mental Station. Proper Time to
Plant is in the Fall.

cite your house to the ground,' is
the imploring cry of every landscape
gardener and horticulturist. By this
they mean plant a few trees and
shrubs around your house and make
it a home, rather than a mere place
of existence.
By making a rough sketch of your
house and surroundings, and indicat-
ing where you wish to put the plant
ings, you will become enthusiastic
over the idea, and soon you will screen
out Objectionable views by a hedge or
group of shrubs; you will beautify
your home, make it more attractive
and liveable and increase the value of
your ranch.
The following shrubs are recon-
mended by the Montana experiment
station for use on the dry land farm :
Russian olive makes a good shrub
IF hedge.
Siberian pea tree, two varieties
(Caragana Arborescens and Caragana
~Frutescens) is useful as a hedge or
shrub. 1t produces a snowy yellow
flowe; in the spring
The common lilac may be used sue
cessfully as a hedge plant or a speci-
men plant about the lawn.
The Tartarian honeysuckle forms a
graceful specimen plant which pro-
duces delicate pink and fragrant bios
SONS.
The buck-thorn is most desirable
when used along the border Of the
farm, as it forms a stock-prooE hedge
which will replace the Objectionable
wire fence.
The pepper time to plant is in the
fall or early in the spring, when the
frost is out of the ground.

MONTANA GRAIN
MOVEMENT

The movement of grain from
farms to country elevators and
distributing centers for the past
week was very limited on &C
count of storms and bad candi-
ton of the roads; but the deliv-
cries this week have been very
liberal. The receipts at the prin-
cipal stations in the state while
fair continue in marked con-
trast with the heavy movement
at this time a year ago.
While there is a scarcity of
cars all over the country the
railroads in Montana are max
ing an extra effort to furnish
cars as needed. Growers are
more disposed to sell, taking adj
vantage of the higher prices per-
vailing.
