FARMER NEAR
CULBERTSON ARRESTED

Culbertson Searchlight: C. o. Nc
Chesney, a we'll known farmer of the
South Side, was in town Wednesday
evening and told about his own ar
rest in Richland county on a charge
of issuing a check for more money
than he had in tic bank.
Mr. McChesney claims the arrest
was spite work, or an attempt to make
it appear that he was about to leave
the country, on the part of South
Side banker who was the complaining
witness. According to his story he
issued the check and then secured 4
draft and was on his way to deposit
same to make the check good when
he was arrested.
When taken before the justice at
Fairview, McChesney was allowed to
sign his own bond, to appear when
wanted and was set free. He has re-
tanned X. O. Lunke as his attorney.
Mr.. McChesney claims that he has
considerable more than enough pro-
pcrty to meet all claims against him,
and that he will come clean and clear
Of the present charges.
Mr. McChesncy has always borne Il
good reputation in Culbertson and
his friends here hope he will come
out all right.

MONTANA DRY LANDS YIELD
ING FROM 2 TO s BUSHELS

Helena, Sept. 26.-Thc acreage
seeded this fall to winter wheat in
Montana will fall far short of the
acreage seeded last year, according
to crop reports from eleven counties
made to Chas. D. Greenfield, Commits
sioner of Agriculture Il Publicity,
for the week ending Sept. 10th. The
reports show that threshing is about
half completed with dry land yields
from two to eight bushels of wheat.
The growing Importance of corn in
the crop scheme of Montana farms is
indicated by the fact that under the
same conditions where spring wheat
yielded from two to eight bushels an
acre, corn averaged from seven to
twelve bushels. Local showers are
reported from the far eastern tier
of counties, but in most parts of the
state the moisture has been INSULT
cient to permit blowing or to germ
mate such winter wheat as has been
planted. The reports arc as follows:

STATE MlLLtSH0WS
UP MlLLER'S STEAL
Big Private Interests Take Extra
$2.75 Per Barrel BY Mixing Grains.

How the state flour mills will save
the producers and consumers at least
$2.75 per barrel of -four on one single
little item is one of the discoveries
that has resulted already from the
operation of the state mill at Drake,
N. D.
Experience with the Drake mill.
according to Manager J. A. Meow
crn of the Mill & Elevator associa-
ton, has shown that the big millers
are selling as their highest grade
Of flour a mixture containing just
enough North Dakota hard wheat to
permit the millers to appease their
conscience when they palm it off as
flour ground from No. 1 noVthern.
Only one bushel of wheat is used to
two bushels OF soft grains.
This is the way it works out to the
enrichment of the millers taking last
Wednesdays prices: One bushcl Of No.
Northern at $2.79, and two bushels
Of soft wheat at $2.22 and $217 to-
tails STA per 1870 pounds. The cost
to the miller per pound is 3.9l cents.
But the mill sells the flour on the
basis of it's containing nothing but
$2.75 wheat, which averages 4.55 Gems
per pounds. On 436 pounds of wheat
necessary to make a barrel of flour
the mills picked up on this particular
day, $2.79 at the expense Of produce
crs and consumers.
The Drake mill is paying for wheat
absolutely on the basis of the value
Of tho flour the wheat makes, and it
is selling the flour to the consumers
absolutely on the basis of what it &C
tually pays for the wheat that goes
into the flour This is the plan the
state flour mills will follow, says

1.-THE example of a farmers state
government and the new reform laws
in North Dakota" said Organizer
Richardson, "is having a great effect
on the farmers on both sides of the
state line. The North Dakota farm
ers see the advantages every day Of
living under state government where
they are in control, and the Mime
sofa farmers along the line see the
disadvantage, in comparison, of liv-
ing under an administration controlled
by big business. At present the

went up just as in the case of velvet
chaff, that it was valueless wheat.
SUPERIOR YIELDS
eve do not claim that this wheat
has superior milling qualities. l do
claim that it has superior yielding
qualities on constantly cropper wheat
lands.
1T will be remembered that when
spring wheats came into use, the east
ern housewives claimed that they
could not make good bread out of it.
1t will be remembered that when
velvet chaff reached large produce
ton, the millers claimed it was 4
poor milling wheat and poor baking
wheat"
Professor Bolley has discovered
through rigorous tests that under
constant cropping the D 5 wheat is
also subject to a disease called helm
inthosporous. Black points appear on
the germ end of the wheat berry. But
these tend to disappear with crop
rotation and under new and dry land
conditions.

ing these seeds and applying theory
No. l about sick soils. Farmers
were given small amounts of promis-
ing seed from time to time.
Out of these years of study has
come a new rust-resistant wheat
known as D 5. North Dakota farm
ers have raised hundreds Of thous
ands of bushels of it this year and
the federal department Of agriculture
has based an entirely new grade on
it.
Since their discovery that a new
wheat was coming to the market the
millers have raised a cry that it is
worthless for flour. Professor Bolley
points out that the Russians have
always used it for flour and in re-
gard to the millers' claims he says:
MERITS OF THE WHEAT
'tSome interesting facts exist re-
garding the color of D wheat. MILL
ers have persistently said it was a
bad wheat. For the first two or three
years the elevators paid a premium
for it because of its heavy weight
per bushel.
1.-THE chief reason that it was
brought over was that when l was in
Russia l thought, Here is a durum
wheat which the average man can
not tell from fife.' And when it came
to handling it on the market that
very result happened. Those who
claimed that durum wheat was not
being used for milling purposes and
yet knowing that thousands of bush
els were milled, bought D and milled
it along with the rest.

was a large volume of it, a huge cry

RUST-PR00F
WHEAT IS FOUND
BY EXPERT
D Wheat Discovered By N. D. Sci.
entist-Large Amount Grown.

Fargo, N. D.-A new kind of rust
resistant wheat has been found by
H. L. Bolley, scientist at the North
Dakota Agricultural college.
The discovery of it is fascinating
story for those who appreciate the
romance of scientific work.
For many years wheat growers of
the Northwest have been cursed with
the wheat disease known as rust. In
some years it is worse than others.
A remedy was needed.
Professor Bolley started out in
quest of this remedy in 1908 with
two theories: /. That there was such
a thing as "sick" soil, soil on which
the yield was reduced or spoiled, not
through lack of fertility but the pres
ence of disease germs. 2. That in
countries where wheat had been
grown on the same soil for hundreds
of years, the farmers had probably
developed disease-resistant seeds.
SEED FROM RUSSIA
The second theory took him to in
terror Russia in 1908, and there, on
the peasant farms, he found what he
was after. He also found flax
which appeared to be immune to
"wilt." Many samples were sent
home, and then followed years of ex-
