The insurance committee of the
senate has been holding number of
hearings on the question of state in
surance which has been vigorously
OPPOSED by the insurance companies
operating in the state. The majority
report was signed by Oliver, Junod
and Fishbeck and recommended that
the bill do not pass. The minority re-
port on the measure was signed by
Hogan and Morris and recommended
that the bill be given favorable con-
sideration. Speaking for the minority
report Senator Hogan urged that the
new plan affords complete protection
and that three levies of a cent each
would take care of all the losses which
have occurred on public buildings in
Montana during the past 90 years. He
said that under the present system
only partial protection was afforded.
Senator Junod referred to Wisconsin
and Illinois as examples of states
which had tried the plan Of state in
surance and as consequence were
facing large deficits. He admitted
that 1t had been a success in New Zea-
land The total deficits in wisconsin

O'Shea spoke for the minority re-
port. He read a letter from an insur.
ance official addressed to Montana
agent. advising him to get busy ir
opposition to the bill; that it's passage
would cost the agents thousands o.
dollars in premiums each year. HI
said that during the past four year!
Montana has expended $16S.0OO IL
premiums while the loss has only beer
$4,000. He said the farmers favorct
his bill, the retail merchants endorsed
it, and the only opposition came from
the insurance companies. He said tn
bill differs from the Wisconsin law
which only covers MAJOR units. Will
the proposed law provides for insur
ance on all public buildings. He sal,
the state and counties have s25. 90
invested in buildings and a levy O
one per cent would be ample to TAX
care of all losses.

PRIMITIVE FARMING.
Little Progress With Modern Machinery
In Latin America.

Leslie's: Despite the large tracts OF
ground under cultivation in Latin-Am-
erica and the Far East little real pro
gress has been made in the actual use
Of modern farming machinery. Through
out these lands one sees crooked sticks
some few tipped with iron, serving as
plows. Cereals are cut by sickles. o.
else by pieces Of tin taken from Stand
ard Oil cans, in far more places than
by harvesters, and the OK and the ass
are Obliged to do the work of the
threshing machine so common in Am
erica. Winnowing is stilldone by toss
ing the seeds with the chaff in the air
with the result that the prevailing
winds blow the useless material aside,
allowing the grain to fall into a re-
ceptable. The only innovation | have
ever seen in this line was in Burma.
where elephants were used as winnow-
ing machines. Unhulled rice was placed
in followed trees, and a log held by
the elephants trunk was used to pound
the mass thus separating chaff from
rice. The elephant then inserted his
trunk into the receptacle and with one
snort blew the chaff away.
Good roads are not to be met with
in the agricultural countries where
large estates are to be found, and as a
rule. most of these big farms are in
isolated districts far away from rail
roads or other transportation facilities.
AS a consequence the crop has 10 be
hauled sometimes hundreds Of miles to
market. This is especially true in Uril-
quay, the Argentine. Australia, South
Africa, Russia and Siberia. For this
purpose numerous pack trains, teams
and wagons are required, and mary
breakdowns and accidents are expert
enced. On the return trips supplies for
the estates are taken.
But little attempt is made to make
homes comfortable or to provide them
with modern conveniences. Where
wood is scarce adobe houses are built

TRACTOR CUTS
HARVEST COST
GASOLINE POWER MAKES RECORD
IN 400 ACRE WHEAT
TRACT.
WORKED TWO SHIFTS
James AlversOn, Who Lives Ten Miles
North Of ArdmOre Cut Average OF
Sixty-five Acres of Grain in Twenty
Four Hours.

Making a gasoline tractor and six
men do the work OF forty horses. Or
mules. and ten men, is the feat just
completed by Jim Alverson, farmer liv-
ing about ten miles north Of Ardmoro.
He has just cut and shocked 400 acres
OF wheat. which. within a few days,
will be ready for the thresher, and he
did it in less time, with less men. mules
machinery and at less cost, or any
other farmer in this section.
Working two crews of men day, am
running the tractor and two binders
twenty-four hours every day. he COM
pleted the work in six days. cutting
an average of sixty-five acres of wheat
every twenty-four hours. Figuring his
cost, Mr.. Alverson announced yester-
day that expenses OF running the trac-
tor and two binders. exclusive of labor,
amounted to about twelve cents per
acre.
Twenty Bushels TO Acre.
Twenty bushels to the acre will be
the average yield for the crop, accord
cor1ing 10 Mr.. Alverson's estimate. Last
fall. he planted a large part Of the crop
without cost for preparation of the
ground. merely drilling the seed be-
tween cotton rows. which figured a con-
siderable saving on the cost Of the crop.
"But II | had bought new seed al
around. instead Of using some OF my
own" he said. Il would have realized
several more bushels to the acre"
Part OF this years crop was planted
with seed raised on the farm. which
did not fully mature. while the othe-
was planted with seed purchased at a
high price.
That part of the crop planted with
new seed will average between thirty
and thirty-five bushels to the acre. The
other will not average more than fifteen
bushels.
Mr.. Alverson also owns his threshing
outfit, and within a few days will be
gin separating the grain from the chaff'
and preparing il for the market. Farm
ers generally throughout this section
declares they will not market their
wheat until they can realize 81 per
