Extensive Work Being Done with Oat
Varieties

Inc last census reports the farms
of Orleans county producing BAT 900
bushels of oats from $500 acres, this
being the leading county of the state
in oat production. Because of the inn
porta11ce of the crop in Orleans coun-
ty Oat Variety tests were conducted
by the Farm Bureau in 1920 for the
purpose of determining which of many
standard varieties of oats are best
adapted to the soil and climate con-
ditions of this section. The tests of
I last year furnished valuable informa-
tion relative to several varieties but,
before any definite conclusion can be
drawn, the tests must be continued
for few seasons. Accordingly the
variety tests are being repeated this
year in six different communities and
several varieties of high standing are
being tried out. The o. A. c. 72 and
Improved Swedish Select, Canadian
varieties which did we'll in the test
last year are again being tried out.
Other kinds used are Mammoth Clus-
ter and Dibble's Heavyweight, which
have been locally grown in large
quantities in the past; Cornell Selec-
ton, high yielder in New York
State; Wolverine and College Wonder,
high yielders in Michigan, and also
a few other varieties sold by local
leaders throughout the county.
The location of the oat variety
tests is given below and farmers are
urged to inspect these plots through
out the season.

MONDAY, JULY a
Pageant Notes

Pageant rehearsals are going on
daily. In fact several rehearsals are
put on each day, forenoon, afternoon
and evening. The characters for the
different episodes and groups meet
together in Alumni hall or other con-
venient places to work on their scenes
and real progress is noted.
Miss Madeline Randall, in charge
of the dancing has arrived, and Mr.
Cogan of the General Electric COM
pany of Boston has been in town to
make arrangements for the lighting.
Everything is moving rapidly and
smoothly.
About 200 people, all to be in the
cast. met at Alumni hall Friday even
ing when Miss Hogle explained the
pageant, assigned times for rehears-
ais of the various groups and dlffer-
ent members of the committees gave
short talks about their work; MRS: .
F. Batchelder for the cast committee,
Mrs. C. C. Brooks for the costume
committee, Miss Marion Redheld 1or
the dance committee, and others.
The splendid cooperation of the
neople is a most pleasing thing to
Miss Hogle and the committee IN
charge. Everyone is ready to 90
what they can for the event, giving OF
their time and talent, giving the use
of cars, teams labor and whatever
NAV be necessary to help. This is
what makes a successful pageant and
whatever little sacrifices are neces-
sary now will be looked upon with
pride after the big event has been
brought to successful close on July
a.
Promptness at rehearsals is essen
tial. as one or two belated persons
in a group not only hinders that
group but groups that rehearse later,
and with a cast numbering more than
800, divided into more than dozen
groups, there must be precision.
It has been decided to make the
presentation on Friday night, July 1,
"Children's night" every child being
admitted free. After that no differ
ent charge will be made for children
than adults. But every child from
Barton, Orleans, Glover, Irasburg.
Bloomington, Newport and every 9TH
er place will be admitted free. The
historical features of the event will
be decidedly worth while to every
child.

The first home game of the season
on June II went five innings to a
tie then had to be called off on ac-
count of rain.
The Essex county boys got three
runs in the first inning and acted like
they were going to run away with
the game but the Barton pitcher
frightened up and thereafter they got
few hits and no runs. Barton got
one run in the first inning and two
in the fifth.

BEWARE THE FAkERS

Valley county this year is OF
the best advertised spots in the united
| States. The word has travelled lar,
that the county has the best crops IN
it's history, and that in this respect
it is the exception in Montana and
the northwest.
This kind of advertising attracts the
man-hunters as carrion attracts the
vulture. and all of US, whether living
in town or country must be prepared
to meet the coming army of solicitors
for magazines, books and advertising,
for farm" papers, printed to carry
some mail order house advertising, OF
stock statesmen, who will take Liberty
bonds. sell on the installment plan,
or freely give you a nice printed paper
if YOU will help fleece your nelghbors,
along with a sprinkling of plain every
day beggars.
In Glasgow anyone can protect him.
self from the approach of the wiley So
~licitors by simply asking if they have
the endorsement Of the Chamber of
! Commerce: that will fix most of them.
and is a course of treatment that is
recommended for general use, wheth-
err YOU belong to the Chamber or not;
housewives and everyone should ask
this question before they enter into
conversation with any pedler, or So
~licitor. who attempts to do business
with them. With the country people
it is more a matter of self-reliance,
and make up your mind to this, that
Won cannot escape the snare Of the
hunter by argument Tie safe plan is
to saw "no'', and order the visitor off
the place. Otherwise he will get you
and leave you with some pretty gold
and green pictures, and a new-cld eX-
perience. in exchange for your hard
earned dollars.
If YOU have a desire to buy any
thing or make an investment, remem-
Der that you can do better in Glas-
gov or at your usual trading town
than with the travelling gentry. AS
we say, beware Of the faker-and be-
lieve that every stranger who calls
on you and attempts to coax your dol
lars out of your pocket, is n of the
great army, that even now have com
menced to work in Valley county.
