TO THE FARMERS OF MONTANA

TO THE FARMERS OF MONTANA
Information has reached this de-
partment that in one of the farming
sections of Montana there has been
recently incendiary fires, destroying
farm houses and other buildings. In
a short time the harvest season will
begin in Montana, and the farmers of
the state should use every precau-
ton to guard against the destruction
of their crops by fire.
Last year in some sections Of the
northwest large losses were suffered
by growers through the burning Of
grain after it had been stacked, the
fires being incendiary. The prospect
is that Montana will produce large
crops of grain this year, and it would
be not only a state, but a national
calamity, if after having made every
eyort to produce increased crops, the
grain were burned before it could be
shipped.
Though the labor is greater and de-
lay may result, judging from the eX-
perience of farmers in other states in
1915 and 1916, it will be the part of
wisdom for Montana grain growers
to this year keep their grain in the
shock while waiting to thresh, rather
than to stack it.
Where it is feasible in every neigh.
borhood farmers should plan to pu!
into operation a system of guarding
their crops from the time the grair
begins to ripen until it is threshed
which would eliminate to some extent
at least the danger from incendiarism
Every precaution should also be
taken to guard elevators against the
operations of the incendiaries.

Commissioner of Agriculture and
Publicity.

deal of attention to the depart
ment of County Exhibits this year with
the view of making this important part
of the 1917 exposition the best ever
held in the state That their plans Will
meet with a large measure of success

fact that there are already twice as
many counties entered for exhibits at
this wears Fair as were represented in

test for honors at the Fair this fall are
Accomac. Albemarle, Hanover. Henri

way. Fairfax and Orange. Others
which will probably enter shortly are
Culpeper. Tazewell, Northumberland,
Lunenburg and Augusta.
Always one of the NEST interesting
departments of the Fair, the County
Exhibits this year promise to eclipse
everything of the past, when the great
niles of farm products from the vari-
Gus counties are lined up in competl-
tion each supported by big delega-
ton of loyal residents.
Ten separate prizes are offered for
County Exhibits this year. and in adj
dition the Association will allow each
county represented the sum of $50 as
expense money whether the county
