It is popularly supposed that new session of the British Parliament begins with the kings speech, but in reality this is not so, Preceding the speech from the throne dummy bill is all ways presented for first reading-a little fiction carefully preserved in order to assert the independence of Parliament in the belief that to turn at once to the speech might suggest a too eager preoc- cupation with his majesty's words.

New York, May l2.-(SpeciaIA A-c,,r market during the first hour was sub ject to heavy selling from Wall street and western interests. The liouidated cotton was said to be from long inter ests. bought about 10 days ago. In al, probability. this cotton was sold on the theory that our market would be infu- enced by the stock market After the selling, the market advanced some 10 points and remained steady, but dun.
 We felt that the market has absorbed this selling remarkably well, and should the market close steady tonight an i'm. provement could be expected in the next few days Reports from Dallas indicate a slightly weaker basis. The weather is unravorapie. Business IS still pending in Manchester. AS soon as the strike sit uation clears. we can expect a demand rom abroad. we anticipate gradual improvement.-Hubba Bros. & Co

BOOSTS FARMING
ABOVE The DITCH

BilIings-A campaign for the
promotion of better farming meth.
DDS throughout the state was begun
in earnest by the Montana Develop
ment association, with a series of
meetings held in towns and cities
in eastern Montana this week.
These meetings, which are open
to farmers and business men, are
for the purpose of forming summer
fallow clubs in each vicinity and to
sign up as large an acreage as pos
sible on which a practical demon
stration of the correct methods of
summer fallow and summer tillage
may be made. The campaign will
be carried on until meetings will
have been held in every part of the
state, Development association off
cials say:
For the first thirty meetings, the
association has secured Hardy W..
Campbell, foremost authority on
scientific dry farming, who will lee
ture on the correct methods of sum-
mer tilling for paying grain crops
in Montana. Mr.. Campbell's theo-
ries are successful in actual prac-
tice, hundreds of farmers in many
parts of the state having demon
strated that paying crops can be
raised year after year if the correct
methods are followed, according to
the Development association.
Subsequent meetings will be adj
dressed by other experts who, as
practical farmers, have demonstrated
that Montana lands above the ditch
can be farmed successfully.
The Development association has
just issued an attractive booklet set
ting forth in interesting detail the
correct methods of summer falllow
and tillage as demonstrated success
fully by Montana farmers. These
attractively illustrated
with pictures of fields made produc-
tive through scientific farming, have
been prepared for distribution among
tie business men and farmers of
the state an,i will be mailed to any
I'D, ress upon request.

HALF MILLION
BUSHELS PLEDGED

According to officials in charge of
the organization work of the Equity
Grain Growers 1921 Pool, over half
million bushels of grain have been
pledged and shipment of wheat,
durum and rye, the grains that are
being pooled, is on in earnest.
The grain pledges are coming from
nearly every county in North Dako-
ta, Northwestern Montana, Western
Minnesota and South Dakota. The
individual pledges range from hun
dred to six thousand bushels. In the
case where the, pledges are under a
thousand bushels several farmers
unite to secure carloads.
Ryder, Makoti, Plaza and Par
shall in Ward and Mountrail coun-
ties are heavy shippers to the pool
and have over sixty cars moved
Reserve, Montana, has started pledg-
ing and three cars are now on the
elevators at Halstad and Hendrum,
Minnesota, have each pledged 10000
bushels and farmers in those local
tiles have pledged more than that
amount.
Storage facilities have been ar
ranged for that will take care of
over fifteen million bushels. Rye
and durum go to Superior, Wis,
and wheat to Minneapolis, where
the actual grain is placed in storage
and will be sold as the market de-
mands and not thrown on the market
which has been overcrowded this
fall.
Farmers can secure advances of
so per cent of the local market val
ue of their grain and market through
this orderly channel, without being
forced to sell it on this low, over
loaded market.
At Litchville, N. D., over forty
farmers have signed to pool their
grain and at Kensal, over thirty. The
pooling privilege is open to every
farmer in the Northwest Contracts
and detailed information can be Sc
cured from B. H. Critchfield, Field
Manager, Equity-Grain Growers
Pool, Box 213, Fargo, N. D.

CORN SHOW WILL BE
HELD AT MILES CITY
DATES NOVEMBER II TO 19
"BETTER CORN EVERY
YEAR" - SLOGAN

That Montana is corn growing
region and can produce better val
ues per acre than some of the prin-
cipal corn producing states is one
of the objects of the Montana State
Corn Show which will be held in
Miles City, November II, IS and
19. Another-perhap the principal
object, is to interest the corn grow
ers in Better Corn Every Year.
! Premium lists can be obtained from
County Agent D. B. Noble, Poplar.
The statement that certain dis
tricts in Montana produce better corn
values to the acre than such states
as Iowa is usually greeted with a
certain amount of derision by those
not familiar with conditions. There
is, however, a considerable acreage
through the Yellowstone Valley
where corn production will run from
35 to 40 bushels of corn to the acre.
If it is considered that the average
price of the land producing these

water; the remaining counties are
in District No. Two. Any corn grow

make entries in District No. One,
but no entry from District No. One
may compete against District No.
Two.
