CORN AND ALFALFA WILL PUT
VALLEY COUNTY ON THE MAP

The prize money in the corr contest
has been mailed out and the Farm Bu-
reau office would like to receive an ex-
preston from the prize winners. 1t is
hoped that another contest can be fl
nanced another year. The State Col
lege of Agriculture at Bozeman has
been much interested in our corn con-
test, both from the standpoint of re-
liable information secured from actual
farms and from the way the orr con
test was conducted, taking into con-
sheraton the cost of production and
the yield and the condition of the field
which gives the mar who puts the real
work and thought into the contest the
prize money and not the man who the
past three or four days goes out into a
weedy field and carefully selects ten
or twelve ears of exceptional quality
and exhibits them and wins. We feel
hat u corn contest was conducted in
the right way ever though it was on
a different plan than any other corn
contest we have known of.
Corn takes the place Of symmetrical
low and thus we get pay for preparing
our land for alfalfa. One reason for
the many failures in getting alfalfa
started is the improper preparation Of
the seed bed. We fail to recognize
that alfalfa is a week, tender plant at
his; and requires the best advantages
that a he given to it at first, and it
Will soon repay several times the extra
work rut on it to give a good start.
When making the start in Alfalfa it is
advisable to always get the Registered
Grimm.

SOCIALISTS AND MULTI-MIL-
LIONAIRES IN THE SAME BED

Seventy-five labor organizations re-
presenting a half a million workers
in New York City recently voted res
olutions in favor of the United States
entering into trade relations with So
Wet Russia.
Showing that labor is entirely sway
ed by sentiment and that the truths
and facts have nothing to do with the
thing when they dip into matters that
are not personal to themselves, these
organizations thus endorsed a plan
which has been tried out and found
impossible.
Italy's workingmen were lust in the
same class as these New York reso-
ordered trade to begin with Russia
forthwith. Consequently a ship load
of goods was dispatched to Russia. In
payment for the goods. Russia re-
turned a steamer laden with wheat.
The grain. upon arrival. was found to
be in very poor condition, dirty and
part of it rotten; and much of it
ruined by moisture. When sorted and
"raded, the price obtained therefrom
did not begin to pay for the Italian
cargo to Russia.
Notwithstanding this, Italy sent an
other ship load Of perfectly good mer-
'handise. The vessel SEN in return
was laden With what was stated to be
wheat. Rut the c2r%O was literally
m'Ned with hrolnn rla&s. 1t contained
MANY tons of hrir'; dust and chips:
and the grain was filled with the worst
kind of unmentionalle filth

lawmakers of the state certain
changes in taxation methods, with a
view to a more equal distribution Of
the tax burdens, and his plan as it is
explained aims to so place the assess
ments and levies as to produce enough
finance to operate the state govern
ment machinery without imposing
injustice on any kind of a property
owner. His message has suggested
a commission form Of government
for the different counties of the state.
1t has set forth plans for various
changes in business methods, which,
it would appear, if placed into effect
shout cut the cost of state and county
government and materially raise their
efficiency.
SO far as we are able to judge, there
is nothing contained in the message of
Governor Dixon which could be con-
sidered unfair in principle or unsound
in practice. To be sure, there are the
many different phases of the plans
suggested that will bring forth unlim-
tied discussion from the two houses.
1t will be a task indeed to place the
suggestions into actual operation. The
very least to state is that the
governors first biennial message is a
great and responsible and noble task
well undertaken. He has not orr the
ship of state asunder without offering
something which is, on it's face, better
and more practical to take it's place.
The Courier will during the course
of the present session discuss in these
columns the different matters pertin-
ent to the message as they come be-
fore the session. The people of Valley
county will do well to study the mes
as printed in the different daily
newspapers of the state, and thor
oughly inform themselves as to it's
details. The arguments relative TO
taxation are an education in themsel-
yes. The citizens will also thus acquire
an intelligent understanding Of the
different other topics of state discus
sion which are so vital at this time.
The Courier sees in the message of
Governor Dixon a program which
orally speaking, can be made to lead
to a constructive and equitable reor-
ganization or readjustment of the
states affairs in such a manner as to
guarantee Montana's future welfare
and safety as the sovereign state Of the
west.

THE GOVERNORS MESSAGE

The first biennial message delivered
by Governor Dixon to the Legislature
of Montana certainly constituted a
showdown. 1t went straight from the
shoulder on every question of vital
interest to the welfare of the state. It
was as sane, as constructive and as
deliberate a document as was var
read to a Montana legislature.
Governor Joseph NJ. Dixon pledged
himself ard his party to the enforce
ment of strictest economic PRINCIPLES,

Governor Dixon has long been recog-
nized an able student of economics.
He has been an ardent scholar in the
workings of the state; has fostered
plans and ideas which he deemed ad-
visable for practical use in state gov

not possibly have been misconstrued

audience of law makers, the realities

speech. Most marked stress was
placed upon this topic, for, as the gov
ernor explained, unless the new legis-
lative body adopts some plan for the
reduction of expense and the increase
of revenue, nothing else of a construc-
tive nature, can be hoped for.

THE STEWARDSHIP OF WILSON

The stewardship of Woodrow Wilson
and his administration becomes a thing
of shame, as one reads the testimony
given in the senate about the coal
steals. the shipping board steals and
all the other st :. The great altru-
list. while hohnobbing with interna-
tional ~diplomates at Versailles lost
everything for America that was
worth while, and tried to enslave the
United States under an international
super-government, and at the same
time so shamelessly neglected affairs
at home that the thieves here robbed
the people of a large part of the
twenty billion dollar war fund. 1t is
great Wilsonian and Democratic party
record, 1t seems to be about equally
divided between beautifully worded
nd artfully painted dreams and whole
sale and retail thievery and grating
of the most abandoned sort!-Helena

THE LAW

We may wink at the continual break
ing of the prohibition law. We cannot
blind our eyes to the fact that we make
laws for the protection of the people
who live under them and hat when
one law fails to be properly executed
and observed. it weakens the moral
fibre of all law. Out Of the ruthless and
wholesale breaking of the prohibition
law, will we come to have less regard
for any law that stands in the way of
personal desire? We are living in a
time when there IS little enough re-
card for law and order. Let us not de-
l~iberatelv seek to accentuate that con-

CHILDREN IN DARKNESS

More than 300, 900 children were left
without schooling last year in the
United States because there were no
teachers to teach them, says the fed
eral commissioner of education. Amer
lea sends missionaries to teach the
heather in foreign lands. 1t weeps
over the wrongs of the comparatively
few children forced to labor before
their TIME. But right here in civilized
communities, 100000 children were al
lowed to go without teaching last
year, because Americans are too stingy
and unintelligent to allow good teach
ers adequate salaries and a little free
dom and initiative in their work.

ONE LESSON SHOULD SUFFICE

Thus far, we have had a wide open
winter in Montana, which is taken by
some prophets to forecast a dry sum-
mer. A poor crop next year along with
d~iscouraging agricultural prices might
find u farmers in an unpleasant
frame of mind when the program of
the Non-Partisan league would appeal
to them. 1t is up to the new COVER
nor and the new legislature to fore
stall the effects of these conditions so
far as possible by legislation that
will give the farmers no grounds for
complaint of injustice at the hands
of the state government. And unless
that is done, there may be another
