CITY ORDINANCE BARS
TRAITOROUS SPEAKER

The people of Helena feel that
there has been too much license CIV
en- 1. w. w. agltators and other
traitors to speak publicly against the
government and the flag in the CAPT.
tai city, SO the city fathers have TAX
en- steps to make such traitors utter
ances considerably fewer and farther
between. In regular session the
council of the city adopted an Or
dinance, the purpose of which is to
prohibit traitorous and inflammatory
speech on the streets or in public
places.
The ordinance provides that all
persons desiring to make speeches in
public places must first apply to, and
receive permit from, the city. In
making application for such permits
the subject of the proposed speech
must be specified, the name and res
idence of the applicant must be Civ
en-, together with other data. Then
consideration will be given to the ap-
plication. Failure to observe this
ordinance will be punished by fine
or imprisonment or both.
1t has been suggested that the
same sort of an ordinance in other
cities of the state would be an eff
fective way of preventing a lot of
unpatrlotlc speeches by traitors and

GREAT VARIATION IN
PRICE OF TUNGSTEN

Montana mining men have been
watching with interest the fluctua-
tions in the price of tungsten, metal
that is contained in considerable
quantities in the state, especially in
the hanging and foot walls and leads
In the dumps of waste ore. No metal
has had the wide range in price that
tungsten has encountered since the
war began, the price per ton varying
from S5,250 to as low as 1920, with
a price today of less than $1,4OO. It
has been matter of supply and de-
mand with requirements far exceed
ing the available supply at one time,
but later succeeded by larger produc-
ton induced by the high price.
The United States has never fig
ured as material factor in the pro-
duction of the metal, practically all
of the product being brought in from
South America. Up to the first of
June there had been brought into this
country during the past IL months a
total of 3,480 tons of tungsten bear
ing ore having value of $4.6O1, 204.
In Montana tungsten bearing de-
posts have been opened up in various
camps and worked at a good profit.
High grade tool makers use tungsten
very heavily.

HOW THRESHlNG
OUTFITS BURN UP
COSTLY BLAZES ARE STARrEn
BY STATIC ELECTRICITY
IGNITING GRAIN DUST
10 Prevent Such Accidents, All Cy-
Under Shafts Should Be Grounded:
ms Is Done by Dry Brush Contact
With Cylinders and Wires Run to
Iron Rods Driven Into Ground,

during the last few year hundreds
OF threshing outfits in the northwest
nave been destroyed by mysterious
tires and so common have they re-
come that several years ago insur-
ance companies refused to insure
such machines. In some quarters
there was disposition to blame
these fires to disquieted farm hands
or tramps, but experts in the denart-
ment OF agriculture now believe thew
were accidental explosions and that
under certain conditions such explo-
sions are liable to occur wherever
quantities of dust from grain or
straw accumulate.
Accounts of thresher explosions
generally state that tn - originate at
or near the cylinder of the threshing
machine, where the dust was thickest
and flashed through the entire ma
chine instantly. In some instances
the fire spread to grains stacked
nearby. The department of agricul-
ture experts have demonstrated that
these explosions are due to the accu-
mutation of static electricity gener-
ated by the operation of the machine.
The generation of sufficient supply
of "static" would result in the dis
charge of a spark which, under the
proper conditions, would serve to ig-
mite mixture of dust and air, it hav-
ing been demonstrated experimental
ly that such a mixture may be highly
explosive. Belts slipping on the pull
leys are responsible for generating
large quantities of static electricity.
10 prevent such accidents in
threshing outfits all cylinder shafts
should be grounded. This can be
done by dry brush contact with the
cylinder and wires run to an iron rod
driven into damp ground. This is a
simple thing to do and may prevent
serious damage to the outfit.

PICK SEED CORN
BEFORE FR0STS
SHOULD BE SELECTED FROM
STALKS STANDING WHERE
THEY GROW in FIELD
Makes Possible the Choice of Ears
From Earliest Maturing and the
Best Developed Stalks; If Done
Year after Year This Develops
Best Strain for Your Locality.

The only proper way to select seec
corn is from the stalks standing
where they grew in the field, as soon
as ripe and before the first hard
freeze. This is important for two
reasons. First, because seed corn is
killed outright if frozen when the
kernel is full of moisture and there
fore the seed, if it is expected to grow
must be collected before the first
killing frost. The second reason for
practicing this method is that it
makes possible the selection of ears
from the earliest maturing and best
developed stalks. When this is sys-
tematically carried on for a number
OF years 1t will result in developing
strain especially adapted to the par
ticular locality. Because of the va
ried climatic conditions existing in
different parts of Montana this selec-
ton is very important.
When Corn Is Ready.
Corn is ready to pick for seek as
soon as the inside husks become
white and papery and the kernels be-
gin to glaze in the case of flint corn
or dent in the case of dent corn.
Corn so selected may shrivel in sur
ing, but it will terminate when
planted, which is the all important
essential. 1t is not possible to set
a date for field selection that will
apply in all parts of Montana. 1t
will vary with local conditions but as
general rule will be early in Sep
TENDER.
The best plan 10 follow in this field
selection is to walk through the field
with a sack slung over the shoulder
by means of broad strap fastened
an upper and lower corner. Take
four rows at time, picking and
husklng the ears from the best and
earliest ripening states which have
produced the most corn without hay
ing any special advantage such as
space or moisture.
Put in Dry Place.
The same day the seed corn is
gathered the husked ears should be
out in a dry place where there is a
rec circulation of air and placed in
such a manner that the ears do not
ouch each other. This is the only
safe way. Good seed corn is repeat
edly ruined because it is thought to
'e already dry enough when gathered
Ind that the precaution mentioned
.bove is unnecessary.
The vitality Of seed corn is aften
educed by leaving it in sack or
Tile for even a day after gathering.
During warm weather with some
noisture in the cob and kernel. the
airs head or mildew in a remarkably
hort time.

RIGHT TREATMENT
FOR CAULlFL0WBR
THIS VEGETABLE DOES WE'LL IN
MONTANA GARDENS If CIV
EN- PROPER CARE.
Can Be Preserved easily for Winter
Use by Canning or Picking; Tying
and Cutting Important; Storing
Not Practicable; Should BE Dispos-
ed After Harvesting.

Cauliflower is a crop that does
splendidly in Montana and it should
be grown in every home garden. Not
only is it delicious table vegetable
when fresh from the garden, but is
also very easily preserved for win
ter use by canning and picking.
White, firm heads are to be most
desired either for table use or pre-
serving and these can only be OBJ
tanned by closely watching the indi-
vidual plants and handling them in
the proper manner for some little
time before harvesting.
About IL or IS weeks after plant
ing the seed, begin to look for signs
of heads and gather the leaves to-
gether over every plant which shows
one forming, either with raffia, Irvine
Or straw, or breaking a half dozen or
more over the top of the cauliflower
head. In the latter case do not en-
tlrely sever the stems as this will al
low the leaves to remain green.
Must Be Protected.
Protection is absolutely necessary
in order to produce good. clean, white
heads and should be given from the
time the heads are about two inches
in diameter.
In large field it is good plan
to tie the leaves with different color
ed Irvine each time and make a note
of when each color was used. This
does away with having to examine
every head in the field at cutting
time Ac H..
will be ready to cut in about week
or ten days after tying.
The heads should be cut when they
are white and solid; if left too long
after tying during warm weather,
the leaves decay, or, as is more fire.
quently the case, in cool weather the
heads begin to push up their seed
stalks and assume riced and
branchy condition, which renders
them worthless unless possibly for
picking.
Handle With Care.
The heads Of cauliflower must be |
handled with great care, as the
slightest bruise on the face disfigures
it seriously. Trimming the heads
may be done in the field or at the
packing house. Inc trimming is |
done by severing the upper half of |
the leaves by single stroke of the
knife, thus exposing the heads; a few
more chopping blows will trim the
eaf stubs down to proper length. If
he heads are to be shipped or car
led some distance the leaf stubs
hould be left somewhat longer, say
bout two inches, as this will afford
he heads some protection.
Storing cauliflower is not advis-
bile except in cold weather. 1t is
to store them in warm wea-
her and at such seasons growers
should aim to dispose of them as
Don as possible after harvesting. Gel
ar storage is not satisfactory as the
reads soon gather moisture and de-
ay
