WORLD WILL NEED
M0NTANAPR0DUCT
EXPERT SAYS MONTANA SHOULD
GROW FIFTY MILLION BUSH
ELS OF WHEAT THIS YEAR.
Advising Planting of Dry Land to
Marquis Wheat; Is Bearlless
Grain, and Straw Is Good for
Stock; Where Winter Wheat Is
Killed Plant Marquis.
BY Alfred Atkinson, Agricultural
Experiment Station.

Reports from the central west in
dicate the loss of millions of acres
of fall sown wheat through winter
killing. This means that the wheat
crop is going to be short unless
there is heavy spring planting.
With present world conditions, there
is urgent need for maximum produc-
ton and the United States should
contribute more largely than ever
before to the worlds supply of food.
Should Harvest 5O,OOO,OOO Bushels.
Montana produces excellent wheat
and she should raise at least 5O,O00,-
600 bushels in 1917. In 1915, the
government estimate placed the
Montana wheat crop at 42.O0O,00O
bushels. In 1916, the report showed
only 28,000,000 bushels raised in the
state, the reduction being due to
loss from winter killing of the fall
seeded wheat. A total of 50,OO0,O0O
bushels would mean only the very
moderate increase that should be eX-
pected.
Marquis Spring Wheat Good.
Dry land intended for spring
grain, where the seed bed can be pre-
pared early, should be planted to
Marquis spring wheat. This variety
is one of the best yielders amongst
the spring wheat grown in the state
and is a very excellent milling
wheat. The demand will be for
wheat of high bread making quality
and the Marquis meets this require
ment admirably. 1t is a beardless
wheat so that the straw may be used
for stock feed in the winter.
Seed Four to Five Pecks.
When planted on dry land, Mar
Quis spring wheat should be seeded |
at the rate of four to five pecks of
seed per acre. Plant seed that will
grow. If you have seed showing
some frost injury do not discard it
as worthless but have it tested. Much
frosted seed is good for planting. IT'S
terminating power may have been
only by having it tested. Send half
of the experiment station
at Bozeman and have it's termination
determined. Take no chances with
poor seed.
Where Winter Wheat Has Killed.
Carefully examine winter wheat
fields as soon as spring growth COM
and if there has been winter
killing, plant spring wheat in the
bare places. The Marquis variety is
good for this purpose, as It natures
early and will be ripe at nearly the
same time as winter wheat. 1t is i'm
portant to plant dry land spring
wheat early.

ENGLAND EXPERIENCES
 BIG DECREASE IN CRIME
War Has Cut Down Criminal Records of Great Britain Except Among
 Juvenile Class.

London, Nov. LA remarkable de-
 crease in crime is shown by the Pris-
 on commission report for England and Wales for the year ended March 31, 1917, the prison population showing a
 decrease of 68 per cent on the last pre-
 war year.
 The number of prisoners received
 under sentence ins1916 was 48,362 as
 compared to 151 ,603 in 1913-14. The greatest decreases are under the heading of begging and sleeping out which are 86 per cent lower, drunkenness 80. per cent.
 All prisons testify to the keenness and alacrity with which the prisoners have undertaken the manufacture of war stores. More than 5,5OO,O0O art icles have ben made and delivered to various government departments for
 war purposes.
 Regarding juvenile crime, the com
 missioners note that an increase has
 occurred mainly among offenders be-
 tween IA and 16 years old. The gov ernor of Bentonville prison believes the chief cause of the downfall of youths
 over 16, to be that many of them had
 been placed in positions of responsi-
 bility unsuitable to their age and when
 opportunity presented itself were un- able to withstand the temptation to
 steal from their employers. He is. also
 of opinion that owing to the: darkened
 streets and less police supervision, greater facilities are afforded for the disposal of stolen property.

UNCLE SAM'S WAR
 CHEST IS BRIMMING

Washington, Nov. 1O.-Now that
 Uncle Sam is doing his financial fig uring in billions and handling more money every few weeks than it was
 his custom to handle in an entire yea.
 before the war, some curiosity may be felt as to where he keeps his money bags. Suffice it to say the money is perfectly safe, for the treasury de- partment of the United States, in whose keeping it is, possesses the strongest and most wonderful money vault in the world. It is used exclus- lively for story bank notes, and is cap- able of holding $500,0OO.OOO in paper money.
 The marvellous vault is situated in the basement of the treasury building, and is fifteen feet square. Its walls are absolutely impregnable, for they are lined with Bessemer steel plates six inches in thickness, and these are se- curely fastened by means of huge screws and bolts to framework of steel which is built into the solid mas- onry. All the pigeon-holes, nearly 3O,- 900 in number, are of steel, and there is not scrap of inframmable material in the furnishings of the vault.
 # The precautions taken to protect the vault are very elaborate. It can only be entered through maze of heav- steel 'doors,I each of which is charged with electricity. Only three officials are permitted to enter this "Aladdin's Cave.w and only these in- dividuals know how to shut off the strong electric current.
 Two special guards, who for years have done sentry duty over the bank notes, stand day and night at the first door. Even, if these trusty servants of the government should be overcome, the bank robbers would have speedy end on reaching the second door, which is charged with an electric current sufficient to xiii fifty burglars simul- taneously. There are duplicate locks on the doors, and the whole construc- tion is such that nothing but dyna- mite or an earthquake would move it.
 It is claimed that the system of guards at the treasury building is the most complete ever devised. About seventy watchmen are employed, and they work in three reliefs, patrolling the entire building at all hours of the day and night. In the office of the captain of the watch are recording instruments. to which each watchman must send an automatic report once every half hour while on duty. The captains office is in direct communi- cation with police headquarters, and in the event of an emergency he could instantly summon d squadron of po- lice. X
 Stacked in the various parts of the building are sufficient weapons to arm over 1000 men, with quantities of am munition. The interior of the build- ing is also honeycombed with wires to facilitate quick communication, and should any follhardy robber attempt to intimidate the treasurerer or other official, the official would only have to press button under his hand to bring

ONLY FOUR PERSONS
 IN JEFFERSON JAIL
Prison Population of County Smaller
 Today Than Ever Before in History


 Jefferson county people are more law-abiding toGay than ever before since the county. was created.
 This is the conclusion that must be drawn from the decreased prison population, which now numbers just four-one white man and three ne- groes. The smallest number in the jail at one time before was in May last year, when there were seven persons held behind the walls of the Jefferson bastille.
 Warden F. H. Verret doesn't at- tempt to account for the reduced pris- on populations; he just cites the fact. He doesn't attribute it to lack of com forts or to the fare. because all who have enjoyed @ the hospitality of the county at the prison since MT. Verret has been warden have praised the fare and the manner in which he has, cared for them.
 Of, course. there is reason-prob-. ably several. Doubtless, however, the "bone dry" law is the biggest factor.
