One of the most startling automo-
bile parades ever held in Montana
will be feature of the auto show
to be held February 10 to "a at
Great Falls under the auspices of the
Montana Distributors association.
The line will be open to every class
and type of automobile and it is ex-
pected that, with the show machines,
the procession will extend over the
principal avenues and streets in the
downtown district for many blocks.
Governor S. V. Stewart will be the
official starter of the auto show. On
the next day, Tuesday, February 20,
the state farmers convention will
open at Great Falls to continue sew
eral days. AS the automobile has
become almost a necessity for the
farmer, considerable Significance is
attached to the identity Of time and
| place of the two assemblages.
| Largest Hall Available.
The Great Falls municipal market
building, where the automobile show
will be held, is the largest hall
available in north central Montana
for the purpose. The entire second
floor will be devoted to exhibit pur-
poses Here at least $50 cars of
various descriptions will be dis
played. A portion of the space on
the first floor will be de oted to
overflow automobile exhibits and
displays of accessories and supplies.
Both a band and an orchestra will
be utilized in the entertainment OF
visitors and there will also be vocal
and other instrumental music. 1t is
probable that well-known male
quartet will take part in the program
of at least one evening.
Two Days for Dealers.
Thursday and Friday of the show
week will be given over to the deal
ers, and on these day state assO-
citation Of automobile dealers will be
formed. This association will IN
clude every person who handles au-
tomobiles of any kind whether as a
sub-agent or dealer.
One night of the week will be sci
aside for society, and it is expected
that on this occasion the gayety OF
evening gowns will vie with stream
ers, bunting and flags for brilliancy
of effect.
A. J. Breitenstein, secretary of the
Great Falls Commercial club, is man.
ager of the show. He is being as
sisted by the following officers and
committee members of the associa'
ton:

female, senior champion bull, senior
champion female and 10 first prizes
Besides selling Panama, he solo

Early estimates of crop conditions
in the northwest indicate that the
wheat crops in Minnesota and the
Dakotas for 1917 are likely to be
below par, both in quantity and quail
ity, while Montana's S crop will be big
ger than ever and of better quality.
The same conditions may be said to
apply to oats and other grains.
1t is reported that in Minnesota
about so per cent of the plowing has
been done and that the soil was in
about the average condition., al
though there were some dry spots.
The seed for the whole state is below
average in weight and quality.
In North Dakota plowing condi-
tions average from extremely good to
extremely poor, but indicate that
about Sc per cent of the state has
been plowed. The general condition
is shade below average, and the
seed to be planted is below average,
being extremely light.
The percentage of plowing done in
South Dakota is about go. Some
districts have as much as 80 and
others as low as Is per cent. The
seed is below average.
Fifty per cent of the plowing has
been done in Montana, and despite
some dry sections, the condition over
the state is an average one. The
quality of Montana seed is superior
to that which will be planted in other
states this year.
Eighty-five per cent of the wheat
in Montana has been shipped. Eight
per cent is still in farmers hands
while seven per cent is held in coun-
try elevators. The percentage OF
wheat left in farmers hands is ex-
tremely small for this time of year
and will have direct bearing on the
market this spring.
The light weight wheat to be SOW
ed in the Dakotas has either beer
damaged by blight Or black rust. A
lot of this wheat will germinate un
der test, but should there be ad
verse growing conditions, it is doubt
full whether it will have vitality te
make a good fight.
| Taken altogether, after considering
the fact that there is bound to be {
big foreign wheat shortage, it seems
almost certain that wheat prices this
year will be bigger than ever, an(
that Montana wheat will be abou
the best on the market.
