JNstcd at the factory, the wheels
W"re kept turning steadily until the

UNCLE SAM TO FUR
NlSH SEED WHEAT

/ Montana will need about one-thir(
OF the two and a half millions set
aside by the federal government fol
/ furnishing seed to the drouth-strick
en- farmers in the wheat regions of
the west, so Professor II. S. Cooley
Iof the Montana State college has
gone to Washington to report at the
seed conference Just called there for
representatives of all the drouth
stricken states. On the average Pro-
fessor Cooley believes that about hf-
teen per cent of the seed needed for
Montana's next years crop must be
supplied by public aid to farmers.
The states which suffered most Sc
vcrely last summer are North Dako-
ta, Texas and Montana. The money
appropriated for seed will go chiefly
to these three states.
Montana will require. it is csi-
seed, OF which more than half will
be wheat: the balance oats, barley,
lax and corn. In some of the worst
burned out countries probably one
third of the farmers will have to be
Professor Cooley estimates that all
the good seed necessary is now in the
state and will make an effort to So
cure the immediate allotment of mon
cy for Montana so that the seed may
be purchased at once and held here
until needed in the spring. Should the
government delay until the seed has
been sold and shipped east, it will
have to pay transportation both ways
and perhaps several profits in addi-
ton. He estimates that the saving,
II the necessary purchase is madc-at
once, will be about $15O,OO0.

Vide the town of Roman witil water
has been completed and the pump
house is ready for the installation of
the machinery necessary to force the
water from the We'll to the tower
tank, which is now in course Of con-
struntion.. Material for almost Ill
parts Of the system is now here or
in transit and while it Is not expect
ed that tho system will be finished
before spring, it Will be a small mat
tor to complete the work in the
spring, by reason of the fact that the
ground will be in a good condition
for trench work and the water will
also be available for testing out the
pipes as they arc laid.
Working conditions have been un-
usually good this fall and it is to be
regretted that tho system could not
have been installed before freezing
set in. However, we have as
surance of the water at the earliest
late possible.
