TRACTORS WILL FEATURE FAIR

Helena-One of the features Of the
Montana State Fair, Sept. 24-29, that
will prove of special interest to farm
ers will be the series Of tractor plow-
ing demonstrations now being ar
ranged by the fair management in CO.
operation with a number Of the lead
ing tractor manufacturers.
The oil tractor, is without doubt,
one of the leading factors in the
states agricultural development. The
practicability of this farm machine is
no longer questionable-it has been
satisfactorily demonstrated in daily
work in every section of the country.
Montana's tremendous agricultural
growth of the past few years v
could have been accomplished without
the aid of mechanical power. The
tractor has turned countless thousands
of acres of virgin sod in record time
and converted our fertile valleys and
broad prairies into producing units.
But the matter of changing from
horse power to tractor basis is a
problem of great Importance to the
average farmer. ! Before making a
decision he should carefully consider
all the available evidence on both
sides. The farmers crop depends to a
great extent upon his farm power
his ability to plant and harvest with
out loss of time and at minimum
expense. This requires dependable
power-and dependable power has
become a matter of expert judgment.
The State Fair management has a
keen appreciation of the Importance
of the tractor to the farmer and has
therefore invited a number of the
leading tractor manufacturers to de-
monstrate their machines at the State
Fair, Cept. 24-29, SO that the farmers
in attendance may see the various ma
chimes in actual operation and judge
as to their comparative value. Secre-
tary Skinner announces that a favor.
able number Of entries have been re.
ceived to date for these demonstra.
tions. Entries for exhibits in various
departments close on September Is.

URGE INCREASED WINTER
WHEAT ACREAGE

In the campaign for increased
wheat production, the United States
Department of Agriculture is calling
particular attention to the d%esirability
of winter wheat in the Great Plains
region, yet advises against planting
when a lack of soil moisture at seed
ing time is practically certain to mean
no crop. Under such circumstances it
may be better to wait and SOW spring
wheat. The production of winter
wheat under dry-farming conditions,
says the department., is likely to be
stimulated in the Great Plains area,
by present and prospective prices and
by plans now under way to increase
the crop as a patriotic effort to meet
the necessities of war conditions. The
soils Of the plains are generally rich;

fertilizers are not used and this makes
agriculture in this section independent
of the wartime fertilizer situation.
Why Winter Wheat
Winter wheat is recommended for
the region for several reasons. In
the first place it is naturally adapted
tn an extensive agriculture, in which
large machinery a be used to ad-
vantage and a minimum of man la
bor can be made to cover a maxi
mum acreage. In the second place
winter wheat shows a closer relation
between yield and water content of
the soil at seeding time than any
other crop. Under dry-farming con-
ditions, in a normal soil, winter
wheat a use water from a depth
of six or more feet. If the soil at
seeding time is wet to as great a
depth as three feet, the department
advises sowing as great an acreage as
possible. Conditions are favorable
for termination and growth, and the
chances for a crop are good, even
though the winter and spring rainfall
may be below the average. On the
other hand, seeding in a dry soil
e that the rainfall and all other
climatic conditions must be much bet
ter than normal if a crop is to be
produced.

HIRAM JOHNSON
TAKES MESSAGE

PHILADELPHIA, March 31.-Reso-
buttons pledging to the president loyal
support in protection of American
rights Were adopted here today at a
patriotic demonstration in ndepend-
ence Square. The Atlantic and Pacific
coasts, figuratively, shook hands at the
shrine of American independence when
United States Senator elect Hiram
Johnson of California brought an in
spring message of patriotism from the
people of the west.
During the meeting a message of
welcome was sent to the people of the
Virgin Islands, who today came under
the protection of the flag of the United
states and at the end of the exercises
a resolution in addition to the pledge
ii 10y atty was adopted urging immedi-
ate individual military training.
Mr.. Johnson declared that the United
States will suffer much, even to the
very tension of honor" before going
to war, but that for the nation to re-
fuse tomaintain it's democratic ideals
and. protect it's citizens would be to
sow within itself the seeds of dissolu-
ton"
We would have no selfish war of
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT or aggression. We
have no lust of conquest. We would
only WHen lmperatVely compelled by
the transgression of our rights, by the
destruction of our lives enter the COM
bat and then in the spirit of America
the spirit that took no indemnity form

people"
Mr.. johnson spoke of the spirit of
America and the triumph of democ-
racy. The spirit of America that spoke

Cleveland and Roosevelt when they
dealt with foreign countries, and next
week. he added the spirit OF America

ment ordered that the first New Mex
leo militia infantry, which never has
attained the national guard status re-
CURED under the new defense act be
mustered out of the federal service. No
explanation was made by department
officials, but it was indicated that the
regiment probably was dropped from
the federal force in order to avoid any
confusion which might arise because of
its unusual status.
While official explanation was that
the national guardsmen ordered out
today were required for police protec-
ton it was assumed the Texas organi-
cations probably would be used for
border protection relieving APP
proximately an equal number of reg
ulars for duty elsewhere.
Orders for submarine chasers are
being placed in great numbers, but de-
tails are withheld for military reasons.
It was stated officially that with the
designation of Captain Wilson to COM
mand the new fleet all arrangements
for organization of the patrol forces
had been completed in detail, with
more than score of points along the
Atlantic and gulf coasts designated as
pdtrOl passes and supply depOtS.
More than fifty small boat builders
submitted proposals for the construc-
ton of chasers and patrol boats of the
40 and so foot types. Secretary Dam
iels said the proposals assured the de-
partment it would be able to get all it
wanted within the shortest possible
time. The plans of the defense council
for industrial mobilization have been
worked out in weeks of consultation
with the cOuntry's captains of industry
and are regarded by all officials as
among the most important measures
in the entire defense program. Details
nave not been permitted to become
public, but it is understood steps taken
to secure a united nation behind the
president in the event of war and to
make the most of every industrial re-
source are exhaustive and specific.
Even tentative suggestions for legisla-
ton which might be necessary in case
of prolonged hostilities are said to be
ready

duct of business.
None of the five so-called indepen-
dents attended the conference. Repre-
sentative elect Fuller of Massachu-
sets, progressive, whom the republic
cans hoped would confer with them,
arrived today and announced that he
would vote first for representative
LenroOt, republican for speaker.
There was only one display of open
insurgency at the conference Declar-
ing he would vote only for Mr.. Len
root for speaker, Representative Gard
ner, of Massachusetts, bolted the
meeting after failing to obtain adop-
ton of a resolution to provide that
members present should not be bound
by conference action.
Representatives Gray, of New Jer-
sey, and Dallinger of Massachusetts
LETT with Mr.. Gardner, but Mr.. Dallin-
ger returned later and republicans
were hopeful tonight that they would
be able to induce him to vote for Mr..
Mann.
Immediately after Mr. Gardner's
withdrawal, Representative Longworth
of Ohio, offered a resolution to bind
the members to vote for the conference
nominees, and asked that it be voted
down. This was done by a large vote
leaving the 1876 members who voted
for Mr.. Mann free to support whom
thew please on Monday when ballot
inc on house organization BEGINS.
The prevailing impression that the
democrats viii organize the house
with Champ Clark as speaker gained
further support today with the an
nouncement that Representative Hell
gesen of North Dakota, d republican
would be unable to be present Monday

whose attendance is doubtful and the
