Montana's lamb crop is lower thar
usual, the wool clip will not be as
large and speculation is rife as to
prices compared with last year, &C
cording to prominent wool growers
of all parts of the state, who are pre-
pairing to start shearing about June
10 in this part of the state.
Similar conditions in regard to a
low percentage of return on the
lamb crop are reported from Wash
ington and the greater sheep raising
sections of Idaho. Washington wool
has been sold under contract at 40
cents, but the general tendency this
year among the big producers is to
hold their clips until the market is
definitely established rather than to
contract in advance.
Shearers who have already arrived
in the central and western part of
the state and are ready to go to work
have made agreements to shear this
years clip for II 1-2 cents a head.
The average sheep shearer will clip
about 100 animals a day, bringing
$3.50 and board a day during sea-
son. 10.
Lamb crops of the northwest are
less than last year for two reasons,
sheepmen say. They eplain that not
only are there fewer sheep here this
year than last but also the losses
were heavy in many places, due to
the cold and rainy weather which
occurred at lambing time and that
the range LANDED bands in some parts
of Idaho will not show a so per cent
increase. The normal increase in
lambs is from 10 to $50 per cent.
However, the optimistic woolgrow-
ers of Montana, who came through
the winter with their bands in good
shape by feeding, say that they will
get good prices because the wool is
longer and of a better quality than
in several years because of the bet
ter feeding which they we're COM
PEELED to give their bands during the
long winter, and the greater care is
reflected in better wool. Southern
Idaho sheepmen are getting a good
clip and the Montana clip will be fair,
according to the experts. Yakima
w~oolgrowers sustained heavy losses
in the lamb crop because of cold and
rain, getting an average of only 100
per cent increase and the usual in
is from 12O to 40 per cent.
Poor grass at lambing time added
to the adverse situation, not always
giving ewes sufficient ~sustenance.

Gull Hens With Care

Poultrymen as a rule are not as
well informed of the laying qualities
of their hens as they should be. Too
many simply Gull out the hens that
are two years old and ship them to
market whether they are great lay
ers or not. This is a mistake. The
dairyman who would proceed on that
plan would ruin his business in a few
days. Discriminate as to the relative
value of your layers. A hen of fine
vigor, handsome and healthy, and
that lays even tolerably we'll, is worth
keeping these times.

In the Garden
BY Leroy Cady

Keep the garden crops free from
weeds and we'll titled. 1t is easier tC
kill the weeds when they are small
Late celery and cabbage may be
set now. Plant plenty of each.
Again the Mayday tree and the
Towering currant have demonstrated
their value in home ground paintings.
They were the first shrubs out this
year.
Give the peonies plenty of water at
blooming time.
1t is important in setting a plant
in the garden to firm the soil thor
oughly about the tops of the roots,
leaving the top inch of soil loose.
Cultivation is always of more value
than irrigation in the garden. When
it is necessary to apply water, see
that enough is put on to moisten the
roots to the tips.
Spray currant and gooseberry
bushes with a~rsenate of lead or dust
them with paris green and lime to get
rid Of the currant worm. Put enough
paris green in air slaked lime to give
it a greenish cash.
Roses and other bushy plants may
be layered now. Bend the branches
to the ground and cover them two or
three inches deep with soil. If the
wood is hard as is often the case,
notch it with a sharp knife.
Ant hills may be eliminated by
punching holes in them and placing
which has been wet with car
bon bisulphide, in them. Keep the
material away from an open flame
it is very explosive.

TREASURE STATE FARM AND LIVESTOCK
BE READY WITH SECOND CROPS

then put in the big yellow or ruta-
bagas to be put in the cellar. They
are better keepers and of better fla
vor than the whites for winter stor-
age.
Sow carrots as a second crop, thin
them to six inches and let them grow
till a hard frost before digging. Like
wise beets. Anything that can be put
in the cellar is so much money in the
pocket these days.
A dozen late cabbages to store,
means real money when you have to
pay 10 cents a pound.
The real secret of gardening is to
keep the ground busy and lay some
thing by.
There are always second and even
third crops of sweet corn and string
beans to be planted, to be canned and
dried as well as eaten fresh, but the
one item of the vegetable garden that
can be most economically handled is
the root crop. They need no previous
preparation. Merely a cool cellar,
so that they will not shrivel is all
that is needed. If the cellar is too
warm because of a furnace, store
them in dry sand or earth with an oc-
casional s%prinkling and they may be
dug out plump and full any time de-
Think how far two pecks of carrots
will go, compared with buying them
by the pound at the grocers, and the
same with beets, turnips and even
onions.
When the early spring and summer
vegetables are done, put in some
thing for late summer or fall and
with an eye to the winter
GU can plant up till the mid
lie of July.

Keep the ground working. Begin
to think now, when there is a wealth
of green vegetables in sight, of the
cold winter months, when every vege-
table, green or canned, meal the
paying out of a substantial sum OF
money, for vegetables are by no
means the tail of the kite of the high
cost. Even on the smallest patch
there is something that can be raised
and put away in the cellar, either a
root crop in its natural state or a
canned or dried crop.
The radishes, young onions, and
lettuce are now either disable or are
within sight of harvesting. When
they are gone, the ground is avail
able. Green peas always leave a larg-
er stretch of vacancy than any other
early vegetable. 1t is usual with an
old time gardener to put the pea
patch into turnips. 1t is a wise plan,
but nobody wants quite as many tur-
nips as the ground space for the peas
usually furnishes. The twelfth of
July, wet or dry, is the distum to
plant turnips for winter, but they
may be planted before. However,
that is the date which about clears
off the early peas.
OF the easily grown root crops
which may be put in the cellar, these
are sure fine crops, and once put in
the ground, hoed enough to put down
the growth of weeds, may be left to
their own devices till harvested: tur-
nips, carrots and beets. Parsnips
and vegetable oyster may be left in
the ground over winter and dug when
wanted.

CONTEMPORARIES WAR UPON N. '. PARTY BOSSES

San Francisco, June 25.-Headquar- ters of the New York delegation to the Democratic national convention, although occupied today only by Gov ernor Smith, Boss" Charles Murphy and Lewis Nixon, have already become the political mecca for representatives of all the Democratic presidential as- pirants, all of whom are seeking in line up the empire states IS votes on the floor of the convention.
 Since the arrival of Murphy. there is noticeable a distinct trend in the pre-convention gossip toward Govern or Cox of Ohio for president and Gov ernor Smith of New York for vice president, both of whom would be en- tirely satisfactory to the vets.

BOARDTOS|T
 TILL VERDICT ONPAY AGREED
(By United Presal

Chicago, June 25.-Yielding to pres sure brought by the brotherhoods and acting upon the counsel given by President Wilson, the railroad labor board is presumably sitting in con- tinuous session and will remain so until it's decision is reached on the question of wage increases. In an other building, heads of the railroads brotherhoods are in executive session to adopt means whereby the board may be forced to render an immedi- ate decision.
 Today's chief development in the situation will be the mass meeting held tonight by the Chicago Yard mems Association and the United En- ginemen's Association, called to Hay before the public the true side of the present railroad situation" The two organizations comprise the Chicago unions now on strike, or vacation, " as they term their walk out.
 Judge R. M. Barton, chairman of the board, last night cleared up the mystery surrounding the message which President Wilson sent and of which other members of the board denied any knowledge. Judge Barton stated that the message came mark ed Confidential" and for that reason he withheld it from the other mem bers. He also declined to make pub lice his answer to the president, but stated he would be glad to have it made public at the white house. The presidents message suggested a par tial and temporary settlement of the wage claims, if the board could not reach a complete decision immediately.

SEES PROHIBITION
 AS FOREMOST ISSUE
tBy United Press)

San Francisco, June 23.-Along presidential row" today, the impres- son grows that candidates for the Democratic nomination will at the very outset find themselves unwilling ly lined up either with the vets or drys. Indications today are taken to mean that the prohibition question will result in lines being so sharply drawn that candidate will be un- able not to cast his lot with one camp or the other.
 Opposition factions in the conven- tion, 1t is predicted, will determine to settle the prohibition issue in the se- lection of the nominee as we'll as in the adoption of the platform. Veter- an politicians forecast that if this program is carried out, the wet col umn will line up behind Gov. James M. Cox of Ohio and the dry forces l behind Attorney General Palmer, who as head of the department of justice has demanded a literal enforcement of the Volstead act. The ballot for the nominee then would be contest between Cox and Palmer.
 This assumption takes it for grant ed that should Governor Cox fail of selection on this line up, Governor Edwards of New Jersey, Vice Pres ldent Marshal of Indiana, Gov. Al fred E. Smith of New York and Sen ator Hitchcock of Nebraska would also be eliminated as candidates.
 On the same basis of forecast, should Attorney General Palmer fall short of nomination in a contest of this nature, his defeat also would force out of the running Mr. Bryan, Senator Owen of Oklahoma, James w. Gerard of Pennsylvania, Secretary Meredith of Iowa, Chairman Homer s. Cummings, Senator Glass of Vir- ginia and Senator Simmons of North Carolina.
 This forecast of a possible conven- tion fight on the sole issue of prohi bition places the selection of the party's nominee in the power of the faction which should win a two-cor- nered fight of this kind Should the candidates of the vets and drys deadlock, some means of compromise would have to be reached before a se- lection could be made.
 As with all prognostications this one has it's weak point in that the convention may adopt the party plat form before the ballot begins for the nominee. In this case, the platform itself would settle the prohibition is sue and bind the nominee to uphold it.. This is the course indicated by the Wilson administration men in control of the convention, the president being more concerned with the patform than with the candidate.

BRYAN IN WAR TOCS REACHES
 FRISCO TODAY
(Bv Cnited Preall

San Francisco, June 25.-William Jennings Bryan arrived in San Fran cisco today.
 In his fight to wrest control of the Democratic national convention from President Wilson, the "Commoner" had ahead of him probably the one fight of his career. From the impor- tant posts of temporary and perma- nent chairmen, which are held by Homer Cummings and Bainbridge Colby, on down the line, the Wilson administration holds every point of strategic advantage. MT. Bryan's avowed intention is to displace the will of the administration for what he declares is the will of the party.
 MT. Bryan will first and foremost challenge the stand of the Wilson ad- mlnlstration on the league of nations. His pre-convention and convention campaigns will be directed toward preventing the convention from taking the stand of approval which the ad- ministration has asked that it take.
 The second point of struggle will be on the prohibition issue. Secretary Glass, spokesman for President Will son, has intimated that the admins tration wishes no mention made of prohibition in the national platform. MT. Bryan has announced that he will insist upon party pledge for con- stltutlonal prohibition and its strict enforcement

A snatch of laughter-the tone of voice-a fragrant odor-a chord from a half-forgotten song can send the memory lighting swiftly back over long years to an association of other times and other faces and oth- CT scenes. When people reach a cer- tain age, the future means nothing, the day little, the yesterday every thing. And, as people, growing old CT, approach nearer and nearer to that age, their houghts are cast more and more in the days which have past. To them it takes but one low whisper from the voices of other times to cause their thoughts to flash backward and finger in the dim hall of memory's pictures.
 Came yesterday soft, tinted pie ture, colored in purple and framed in old gold-a dim, dusty attic, piled up boxes and debris, and in corner behind box, flag, 9 silken flag, whose colors seemed bright even in the dim light of the attic.
 Not the flag itself so much, but the association which it recalls; the actual thing it stands for, has long since gone; but to some the finding of that flag will bring back flood of memories.
 It was one presented to the lief ferson Guards, in 1894 by the young ladies of Pine Bluff. The Jefferson Guards was the seventh company of the state militia, and in that day represented the flower of Pine Bluff young manhood. There's romance in that flag
 Hair Drawn Back.

 Other things it recalls-that flag: the swift passage of years, a horri- ble war, and young manhood of a different age in uniform-this time khaki. The death of one of them, death caused by enemy guns. A mill
