SNOWFALL GOOD
FOR WINTER WHEAT

Helena. March 1.-THE heavy snow
fall during the winter and the snow
blanket on the ground is good for the
winter wheat crop prospects, accord
ing to farmers and as long as there are
no intermittent thaWs followed by
heavy freezing periods the 1917 pro-
duction should increase.
Last winter much of the winter
wheat froze and heavy crops We're the
exception. Where the ground was
protected from the heavy winds which
drove off the snow and exposed the
wheat, some of the crops We're up tc
standard.
With a general spring thaw instead
of varying spring weather the wheat
crop should develop well. There is
about twice as much winter wheat
planted this year than there was last

On the
Spur Of the
Moment

Some Problems.
If A should live eight hundred years
And work hard all the time,
And save and skimp through toll and
tears
And scarcely spend a dime,
When he had gathered all the stuff.
Then would he think he had enough?
If b should live perhaps as long
And study life and men
And puzzle DER the right and wrong,
The Wherefore and the When.
With mind alert and eager eyes,
Would he have Wisdom and be wise?
If G should live that long as WE'LL
All years Of welded bliss,
Perhaps some reader here can tell
The answer then to this:
Would he, with all that married life.
Be sure he understood his wife?

Spots.

There are several different sorts Of
spots. such as building spots, spots
before the eyes and spots on the table,
cloth. Spots at times are very useful
and If there is someone you would like
to shoot it is often expedient to shoot
him on the spot. The great majority
of spots are commonplace and unin-
teresting, but there are several of
them that are of historical Importance
as the Spot where the Pilgrim Fathers
landed. Some men are so fond of
spots they have them on their vests.
Nobody loves a bald spot. but in the
summer time a cool spot is a great
boon. a spot is often useful to sit
all evening in or to hank picture
over. Children make lots of spots and
so does smallpox.
