Fire Destroys Barn On
J. A. Lloyd Farm

j. A. Lloyd, living south of town
had the misfortune of having his
barn destroyed by fire last Tues
day afternoon.
The fire was started by little
five-year-old son. The little fellow
had been watchingthe others burn
ing thistles and evidently thought
he could too, setting fire to some
thistles near the barn. Fortunately
Mr.. Lloyd seen the fire in time to
save two horses and calf that
were in the barn, one calf he was
unable to get out. He also lost
5 sets of harnesses and a brand
new wagon besides some hay.
The granary near by had a very
close call.

Packed Seed Bed Is
Essential For Flax

Flax is a favorite sod crop ow-
ing to its early maturity which
permits a late-sown field to yield
good returns, and because of its
coarse, penetrating root system
which enables it to thrive under
dry land conditions.
1t is of first Importance, the
Montana Experiment Station ad-
vises, that flax be planted upon a
firm seed bed, rolled or packed in
such way as to reduce the air
spaces under sod layers to a min
imum. The breaking should be
smooth and level; that permits the
crop to develope evenly, and be
harvested cleanly. Then heavy
packer should be employed to
crush down the sod. 1t should fol-
low the breaking plow immediat-
ely, while the soil and cheesy. Or
dinarily, after such packing, har-
rowing is sufficient to complete a
good seed bed. Where a disc is
used, care should be taken that
the sod is not chopped through
and left in loose chunks.
This season, when effort is be-
ing made to get in a big spring
crop of wheat, it should not be
forgotten that flax may be planted
at a date later than would be safe
for spring wheat, and yet mature
a good crop. Ordinarily May Is
is as late as is encouraged for
planting spring wheat. Flax may
be planted from Is to June 1st.
with excellent prospects, and in
favorable season even as late as
June Is with reasonable degree
Of safety.

AqriCu|turiSt Visits Circle
Plan TWO-Day Institute Here

D. w. Mendenhall made Circl'
a hurried visit last Friday. HI
spoke at the school in the after
noon on the subject of corn, wheat
and other clubs to be organized
among the boys, and the canning
club for girls.
In the evening an impromptu
gathering was held at the town
hall, at which Mr.. Mendenhall EN-,
phasized the Importance of making
a strong effort to raise as much
grain as possible this year on ac-
count of the world scarcity of food.
He said it was reported lately that
the food supply for immediate use
was only 16 percent of the normal.
and that if crops should fail in the
Northwest this year the world
would face actual starvation for
many. He advocated raising good
gardens to help out the grain and
meat supply. In the cities empty
lots, and in various parts of the
country every available piece of
tillable soil is being put into crops
to help stave off calamity that
would be worse than any war.
In this connection it might also be
said that the soil in this part of
Montana is in unusually good con-
dition for gardening and the later
grain crops. Besides being the
part of wisdom as a business ven
ture it really is a matter of patri-
otism and humanity for every per-
son who can do so, to cultivate as
much ground as possible this year.
The matter of a farmers institute
to be held in Circle some time in
June was also taken up. A COM
mittee was appointed, composed of
Messrs. Thompson, Robson, Beck
strom, Refer and McClatchie, to
try to start the ball a rolling. The
plan outlined embraces joint action
by the Commercial club and the
Farmers club or the Farmers Equi-
ty. Speakers from Bozeman will
be here and the subjects taken up
by the different sections will be of
particular interest at this time and
place. There will be a woman's
section and the above mentioned
committee would like suggestions
from anybody as to suitable sub
jects for discussion. No doubt
committees will be appointed later
to handle the various matters con-
nected with the venture. A two
lays program will be arranged and
every effort will be made to make

There Is Absolutely Nothing
To Fear Even Though We Have War

There are "slackers" abroad in
the land.
We do not mean the slackers
who are trying to avoid military
service, such as the young men
who are rushing to the matrimon-
ial alter and hiding behind the
skirts of women instead of rallying
to the defense of Old Glory. We
do not mean the slackers who with
their country at war in defense of
its liberties and its rights are striv-
ing to tie the hands of the govern
ment.
Either of these types is bad
enough. But we refer to still a
third type-a type whose activities,
if not counteracted by sober ap-
peal to the common sense of the
people, are liable to prove far more
inimical to the nations welfare
than the petty tactics of those who
seek to evade military duty or
those who cannot be made to see
that there are things worse than
war waged in behalf of justice
and humanity.
We refer to the slackers who
are spreading the idea that war is
going to undermine the industrial
and business activity and prosper
ity of the nation. These slackers
are to be found in every commun-
ity. They can have no possible
object of benefit to themselves in
doing this, so it must be assumed
The circle banner. [volume] (Circle, Mont.) 1914-1939, 1917-05-04

that their pernicious talk is due to
thoughtlessness.
They are outnumbereda hundred
to one by men of equally reliable
judgment who believe directly to
the contrary, yet, because evil It'd
ings always spread faster than
good, they are creating in the pub
lie mind a feeling of uncertainty
and a lack of confidence in the
business future which is a source
of danger to the nations domestic
organization and to its successful
prosecution of the struggle upon
which it has now embarked.
When war first broke out in
Europe, this country, without
stopping to reason, was seized with
hysteria. Men ordinarily of sound
judgment and tarseeing vision
could perceive nothing but disaster
ahead. Yet that war has brought
America prosperity and wealth
such as never could have come in
times of peace. In the opinion of
the Midland Empire Farmer, the
man who today prophesies business
depression and suggests retrench-
ment does not see beyond the end
of his nose. More Than that, if
there be contraction, upon his kind
will rest the responsibility and the
blame.
What are the facts!
In the first place his country is
richer today than ever before in
its history. On March 5, according
to Comptroller Williams, the assets
of the national banks of the United
States totaled more than sixteen
billion dollars which was greater
by five million dollars than the
resources Of the banks
of France, England, Italy, Germany,
Japan, Spain, Norway, Sweden,
Switzerland and Denmark.
On April 2 the gold reserve of
the United States Treasury, held
in its various branches throughout
the country, amounted to $3,044,-
309,292, the largest sum ever held
by any government il; the history
Of the world. In five years the
gold stock of the country has
doubled; gold imports from the
allied nations since the first of the
year totaled more thar $300,000,000
IN April l and the inflow continues
These facts lead to but one con-
,lusion: there is no danger of a
money stringency in this country
The circle banner. [volume] (Circle, Mont.) 1914-1939, 1917-05-04

provided the American people
themselves do their part in keeping
business conditions normal. Ali
that is necessary is for the people
to go on about their business as if
they were at peace instead of in
war, and business will go on just
as actively as at present.
These facts are an all sufficient
answer to the Stacker who talks
business reaction. But there is
much more which might be said
in refutation of his predictions.
By reason of the entrance of
this country into the war more
money will be put into circulation.
Operation of the machinery of war
itself will mean an expenditure of
billions above that of normal times.
The loans to be made our allies
will be expended for munitions
and other supplies almost entirely
in this country. The production
of foodstuffs will be vastly in
creased. The demand for labor
will mean employment for every
man, woman and child able to
work. Industry will be taxed to
the limit of its productive capacity
to supply our domestic and military
needs and those of our allies.
In short, instead of bringing
about a curtailment of business,
this war means that the industrial
efficiency, the productive resources
and the business activity of the
nation will be brought to a higher
plane than ever before.
1t may be that the war will not
last much longer. But we are not
safe in proceeding upon anv such |
hypothesis. We must lay our plans
for a long war, just as did the far
seeing Kitchener to the salvation
of his native England. And just
as the boys on our battleships and
the boys who may yet be fighting
in the trenches of Europe must go
into the battle with confidence, so
must we, who are engaged in the
peaceful pursuits no less essential
to success, permit nothing to shake
our confidence in the future.
Least of all should we permit our
selves to be influenced by the
thoughtless chatter of the Stacker
who talks because he likes to hear
himself talk.
Confidence is half the battle.
When it is as well founded as it
IS today, confidence in the ability
IF the nations fighters, the nations
business and the nations producers
to meet the test of war means that
victory is as certain as themorrow's
,unrise.-Midland Empire Farmer.
