FARMERS WEEK AT BOZE-
MAN STARTING JANUARY 10
Valley County Will Be Represented
At State Meeting of Farm
Bureaus

The farmers of the Valley County
Farm Bureau are to have an oppor-
tunity to express themselves at the
meeting of the Farmers at Bozeman
on Januarw 10th.
At that time the presidents of the
various Farm Bureaus throughout
the state and also others interested
in the betterment of agricultural con-
ditions will meet at Bozeman to dis
cuss the work to be handled by this
organization for the coming year.
President Peter Peterson of the
Valley county Farm Bureau organ
%ization will attend the meeting, and
he is DESTROYS of having the farmers
Of this county send to him any sug-
gestions they may have to make
as well as suggestions for proposed
Legislative action relative to the agri-
cultural sections of the state.
Among other things of Importance
at this time is the time for the pay
ment of taxes. Another proposition
is the possible extension of time on
hail insurance. Under the present
rule, it is alleged by some, that the
limit of time is not sufficient to en-
able the farmer to determine his crop
prospects.
Amy other suggestions for the pos
sible betterment of conditions in this
county should be sen to Mr.. Peterson
at Glasgow by letter and he will be
glad to present them at the Bozeman
meeting. These letters should reach
him not later than December goth.
County Agent M. f. Stebbins will
also attend the meeting; as will Mrs.
j. F. futile of Hinsdale who will go
as Valley county representative Of
the Home Demonstration work.

ers Association.

County Agent M. E. Stebbins has
announced that Valley county has been

man on January IS and 14th. Plans

Definite prizes have not been set
yet, but interested firms are donating
such premiums as tanning mills,
sprayers, grass seeders, seed testers,
and such. Valley county has always
made good at all the fairs and ex-

some of the farmers of this district
cannot head the list at this particular
show. The exhibits to be judged will
be credited from a seed standpoint
only; and this should be kept we'll in
mind when selecting and preparing
exhibits.
All of the exhibits must be at the

CLEAN UP THE GARDEN

1T is we'll to give some attention to
cleaning up the crop residues in gar
dens during the fall months. Burning
up the weeds and filth is a good prac.
tice since it will lessen the damage
from pest and disease another year.
Insects hibernate in crop residues,
but burning destroys the greater por-
ton Of the adult pests, including
asparagus beetle, striped cucumber
beetle, squash bug, onion thrip and
stalk borers.
During the fall months rubbish NAV
be piled for a week or so serving as a
trap in which the insects will seek
shelter on the approach of colder
weather. Burning will destroy many
insects.

MONTANA GRAIN Wins
AT BOSTON MARKETS
Greater Production Leads Massachu.
sets Farmers to Buy Seed In
the West.

Great Falls, December S-Montana
oats for seed have displaced the Hi
nois and Iowa variety because of the
increased production and two carloads
have been shipped to dealers in Boston
for Massachusetts farmers, according
to A. E. Barkemeyer. Mr.. Barkemeyer
is engaged in the seed and grain bust
ness here and said that while the seed
market has not been very brisk here
there are indications of much life on
the Atlantic seaboard,
Mr.. Barkemeyer said the Massachu-
sets farmers were willing to pay
fancy prices for Montana oats and also
to pay freight on a 1000 mile haul.
The Montana oats produce 40 bushels
to the acre on the same ground that
the Illinois and Iowa varieties produce
only 80 bushels, he said.

With a glance at the list one can
readily pick out the communities with
the active membership committee.
The Farm Bureau only lacks 60
having the 1000 members and we are
earnestly asking the membership
committees which have not sent in the
new members that they do so at once.
If the membership can pass the 1000
mark, Valley County Farm Bureau will
be at the top of the list again for total
members and also the largest women
membership in the state. Make it 1000
by Christmas.

Crop production of the lower Miss
issippi Valley has increased a billion
dollars during the last ten years. Re-
clamation of low lands, departure from
the one crop system and the adoption
of farm tractors are held responsible
for this great annual addition to the
wealth of the nation.

much more careful consideration than
many believe. while we have not had
many formal meetings. we have met
each other informally ON a number Of
occasions and discussed men for the

of the board that the committee will
probably decide on n small number Of

asked to make a final choice. There are
no candidates for the office, members of

CLEVER THIEVES GET $4,000
One Hides in Store Till Closing.
Roll Safe to Rear

Chester, Oct. 6.-Placing a 2OO0-
pound safe on truck in the wholesale
grocery store of Oscar Gaylin, burglars
rolled it to the rear of the building
buried it in -four bags, chiseled off the
combination and took $4,000 in cur
rency and some silver. A diamond
lavalliere belonging to Miss Anna Fein
stein, the bookkeeper, also was stolen.
1t appears that one of the robbers hid
in the store until after it had been
closed, and then admitted others who
aided him in the job. Collections had
been made by the firm, which insured
burglars a good haul.
There was no evidence of the store
having been broken into.
The robbery was not discovered until
the place was opened in the morning
Where's the safe?" exclaimed Miss
Feinstein. II left 1t in the corner last
night" The books and papers of the
firm. with the exception of checks, were
undisturbed.

that an honest effort was simply being
made to ascertain the kind of men that
would be sent OF the next Legislature.
II am sorry that such matter should

J. W. BEST WINS DIVORCE
Philadelphia Man 10 Granted Decree
From Wife at Shore Resort

John W. Fest, an attorney with offices
in the Peifield Building, has been
granted decree of divorce from Mary
Pauline Best, at Atlantic City. Gus
tody of their two children, girl and
boy, was given to the husband, with
the wife retaining the right to visit
them. Mrs. Best was Mary Pauline
Olmstead, of Washington, before her
marriage in 1911.
Mrs. Best stated in her defense that
she had "owned up" to certain indiscre-
tions upon her husbands assurances
that "if told the truth he would bury
the past" Best is sixty-two years old
and his wife is twenty eight.
Mrs. Best had her husband arrested
at the shore last summer on charges
Of assault and battery and intent to
kill. She staggered into the police sta :
ton one morning and swooned while
telling tale of brutal attack on her by
her husband with hammer. She was
in critical condition at the Atlantic
City Hospital for weeks. Best was
tried at criminal court in Mays Land
ing and fould guilty. His attorneys
asked for clemency on account of his
advanced age. Judge Robert II. Inger
soil fined him $1,000.
