Montana News
MONTANA CROP is
NOT UP TO STANDARD

Great Falls, Mont. July THE
crop situation in Montana is not en-
c~ouraging. Rain is badly needed in
all sections Of the state. Generally
speaking, the outlook is worst In the
northeastern part Of the state. Be-
ginning on the west there has been no
complaint from Lincoln or Flathead
counties, and the outlook is for at
least average crops in both OF them.
Conditions are fairly good in Teton
county, and with some rain soon good
crops are likely to be harvested. Toole
county is suffering, but rain within
the next week would probably mean
q fair yield. Conditions continue to
grow worse further east, until there is
now no hope for more than half last
years yield from the country around
Havre. There is a lot of irrigated
country around Chinook, n things
look we'll so far as that is concerned,
but on the benches the chance for a
tons exist in Phillips county, and
there Is very little hope for a crop in
that section, although bountiful rains
this month would make a vast differ
ence. Valley county is badly dried
UP, except in a few localities, and
Sheridan dry.
Central Montana is in better shape,
including Cascade. Fergus. Mussel-
she'll and Choteau, although there is a
good deal Of dryness in the latter. All
Of them are looking anxiously for
rain, but there will be some crop in
these counties whatever the weather
may be.
Along the line Of the Northern Pa
cif1c conditions seem better, but in the
Missoula country there is need of
rain. In Gallatin the outlook is good,
but rain must come shortly or it won't
be so good; and about the same con-
dition exists along the Yellowstone
and down into southeastern Montana.

safe side of that line even against op-
position. The traders in the temple
knew they were doing wrong, but the
wrong had been dignified by long
usage and by general custom. They
could not in their hearts deny the
justice of the reproof administered
by the Savior, neither did they have
the courage to resent his violence.
Many of us are carrying n half
formed reproof for ourselves in our
own hearts and need only to have our
eyes opened to the truth to acknowl-
edge that we are wrong.
But the worst of the temple traffic,
altho in all conscience sacrilege was
bad enough, was that it was "a graft
II was only by tolerance OF the priest
hood that such things could continue
in the Lords house, and IL is quite
evident that these priests were paid
literally for the concessions they had
given. In effect they had been bribed
to permit the sacrlege Of the house
Of God. The traffic in itself was
legitimate. The business these mon
were doing was an accommodation to
the thousands who come yearly to the
temple from far-off points to make
sacrifice. They served n public need,
but in order to gain an advantage in
trade. they had invaded forbidden
precincts and contaminated religion
