Your article would lead farmers RI

statement that we want you to get
perfectly plain. Our records show
that we have actually lost more than
$40 on every ton of Phosphogerm that
has ever been sold in the state Of
Florida. We have not even been ex.

What seems to worry your paper and
the state chemist is that we do not
have about fourteen per cent of acids
and chemical plant food. Why is
this? We find the farmers do not
care whether we have the acids and
chemicals or not, just so Phospho-
germ raises the crop. In fact we find
them exceedingly glad to get away
from so many acids and chemicals
and anxious for something that will
build up the soil at the same time it
raises the crop. Are you willing to go
ton record as stating that nothing but
chemical fertilizer will ever raise
crops for farmers? There were at
one time men who stated that such
things as automobiles, airships, etc.,
Ior even farm tractors would never
be practical But just look at these
things today.
The analysis quoted in your article
would cause a farmer to believe that

This is absolutely not true and every

got it through the phosphate of

The article further infers that the
United States government will give
free of cost the same bacteria that
are used in Phosphogerm. This is
another statement either falsely made
or through gross ignorance. Phos-
phogerm contains strains of bacteria
which no bacteriologist other than
DR.. G. H. Eary-Thomas, the inventor
of Phosphogerm, has ever identified,
to say nothing of their being able to
supply them free of cost.

With the notice of appeal filed Fri
day in the Goodman injunction case
by the attorney general and the state
ment last evening by Mr.. Ford that,
regardless of the reports to the con-
trary he had filed an appeal to the
state supreme court in the case and
would ask for an early hearing in
the matter by that tribunal, it is
thought the primary proposition will
be settled in a reasonably short time.
Goodman secured an INDUCTION a.
gainst the secretary of state be de-
fault. The attorney general did not
file an answer in the case for the sec
retary of state. He filed demurrer
to the complaint of Goodman and
when the district court overruled the
demurrer the default was then enter
ed granting the relief asked for upon
the failure of the secretary to file
his answer Mr.. Ford explained this
move saying all the points OF law
were covered in the demurrer and that
he would appeal from the ruling of
the court on it, thereby Fastening the
final decision The transcript on ap--

FORGING AHEAD
AS GOOD CORN STATE


If anyone had said ten years ago
that Montana in competition with the
corn growing states of the middle
west would carry off the first prize
for corn at an International show, he
would have been given credit for a
very small amount of sense. But this
is just what Montana did at the In
ternational Hay and Grain show held
in Chicago in December
The official list of the prize win
ners at the show received by Chas.
d. Greenfield, Commissioner of Agri-
culture & Publicity shows that e. e.
Elixir of Huntley, Mont. was awarded
the first prize in the single ear corn
class. In addition to this the Ridge
view Stockfarm OF Miles City was a.
warded the third prize for ysllow corn
Herbert A. Hoover OF Sidney the sixth
in the same class while G. w. Mason
of Hathaway won tn fifth in the white
corn class, there being no first and
second awards in this class.
Until someone comes along and
lakes the honor from him James
Sanders of Manson, Pondera county,
must be recognized as the producer of
he best hard winter wheat in Canada
Or the United States. Mr.. Sanders was
awarded the first prize at the show
n his exhibits Of wheat Of that chara-
,ter. The "granary of Montana" came
n second best on this class, Seymour
Kent of Salesville being given second
,lace, Erwin Kent of the same town
hird place, while E. j. Lawrence,
Otto Knutson, Joe GOWN and Robt
Vetsigne, of Bozeman were awarded
espectively the fourth, sixth, seventh
md eighth prizes This competition in
he hard winter wheat class had twen-
y-five entries, it was open to the
world and the Canadians made dis
met effort to capture the leading
'rizes.
In hard spring wheat competition
dontano did not do so we'll; J. P.
Jash of Salesville being given thir-
eenth place and Thomas Nash of the
anne town the seventeenth. In the
yhite soft wheat class one Montana
nan, George Miles of Bozeman, won
ourth place.
In the oats competition Ray Martin
I BozeIifan got second place, George
.ewis of Manhattan third place and
ID. Martin or Bozeman fifth.
Gallatin county came to the front
1 the barley competition, George
,ewis of Manhattan being given
)urth place.

wo first, Atkins Bros. of Salesville

Seed Grain E|eC-
i0n Feb. 18th

On Wednesday OF this week tn,
board OF county commissioners me-
in special session for the purpose o.
acting on petitions asking for an cleo
tion on the seed grain bond issue
and when the board met it was found
that petitions, with the signatures Of
one hundred and seventy freeholders
had been filed to be considered by the
board.
After checking over the petitions it
was found that there were a few
names that had to be thrown out, or
scratched off the fist, because OF not
being signed up properly, but there
still remained one hundred and fifty
one names. The law on this matter
requires that there must be at least
one hundred signers on a petition ask
ing for an election on a seed grain
bond issue, and there being 151 on the
one filed, the board granted the petit
TONERS wish and consequently called
a special election to be held on Fri
day the 18th, day OF February, 1920.
After giving the matter of the act
ual needs Of McCone county farmers
on the seed grain proposition, a
thorough consideration, the board de-
cided to set the amount OF the bond
issue at not to exceed $3.50, 10000.
The bonds to bear interest at not to
exceed seven percent. and to become
due and payabl in not less than two
nor more than five years.
Registration for this special elec-
tion will close on February End, and
all persons not at present registered
and who wish to be able to vote on
this matter, should register at once
Just what method will be used in
procuring the seed for the farmers,
in case the election carries, is not |
known upon going to press, but un-
derstand arrangements will undoubt- |
edly be made with the elevators at |
the different railroad points to fur
nish this seed at certain figures, and |
If satisfactory arranssmsnts cannot 7
be made with the elevators, the board
will undoubtedly purchase the seed
wherever they can obtain it the
cheapest, and have it shipped to the
