MANY FARMERS
BEING ROBBED
Weeds Are More Damage Than Cattle
Rustlers-Plans Suggested for
Relief.

(By NJ. E. Stebbins, Comfy AGENT
1t is high time that farmers of
Valley county are taking steps to
eliminate the loss and damage result
ing from the continual thieving which
is altogether too common on the aver
age farm of this section. If cattle
rustler became active, a posse would
soon be on his trail and his capture
would be Immediately demanded. If
a neighbor We're caught in the act
of stealing grain from your granary,
punishment would be swift and sure.
But losses much more extensive and
general are being incurred every year
by farmers, almost unnoticed and un-
needed. The thieves are known but
apparently the importance and extent
of their depredations are being under
estimated and considered mere petty
thievery when the charge should be
the very Grandest form of Larceny.
Sleuths of the experiment stations
have been trailing this gang for a
number of years and the report of
their Investigations should be an eye
opener to the victims--the farmers.
II has been determined that quietly
but steadily, this gang of thieves have
been taking an enormous toll every
season by appropriating for their own
use, moisture and fertility badly need
ed for the production of crops. Farm
' ers who were conscientiously trying
to conserve the moisture for the use
of the following years crop by sum-
mer fallow, have unknOwingly allow
ed these outlaws to steal the greater
portion of the moisture savings. Farm
ers have provided what they consid-
cred ideal conditions in their Field
Factories for their regular workers,
the Farm Crops, only to discover that
gang of thieving scabs, called Weeds,
step in, crowding out the crops and
appropriating the fields and raw ma
terial for their own unworthy uses.
In travelling through the county re-
Gently the writer was surprised to
note the methods of summer fallOw
generally practiced. Fields covered
with a growth from one to three feet
in height of weeds such as Russian
thistles and Jim Hill mustard are now
receiving attention for the first time
this season by plowing as the first
step in so-called summer fallow. 1t
is not sumner tillage but mere plowing
and a crude form of green manuring.
While realize fully that ideals in
farm practice must necessarily be
modified to meet practical conditions,
] am yet convinced that farmers
would radically change the above
stated method of trying to summer
fallow, if they fully realized the i'm
portance of week control. To produce
one pound of dry matter in the form
of weeds, it is necessary that these

This has been a busy week at the
county Jail. The sheriff and jailors
say that they cannot complain of hard
times; were it not for the cloud that
hangs over the county's happy home
for transgressors, due to the fact of
a star boarder's escape during the

world. No clew remains and there is
a vacant cell at the bastile. The other
prisoners miss their brother of the
wanderlust. and Sheriff Hall has
promised them to fill the vacancy and
return the wanderer before many
moons.
There are nine other more or less
human occupants of apartments at
the famous summer resort, remaining.
Among them two from Roosevelt sent
up here on account of the wide repu-
tation our Jail has for hygiene and
hospitality. Also two young men, J..
c. Clinton and j. E. Cowmer, who are
charged with having burgled a store
at Frazer. They were shortly appre-
hended by Deputy Harry Hess, who
contrived to meet them in camp, be-
tween Vandalia and Tampico, and in
duced them to return to Glasgow
with him and become the county's
guests. They were equipped with high
powered rifles and look to Harry like
they were riding on the we'll known
crime wave.

GOVERNOR DIXON DELIVERS
MOST ELOQUENT ADDRESS

Lewistown, June 27.-The brilliant
history Of Montana's fighting men in
all the wars in which the nation has
engaged since the Civil War, was re-
viewed here Monday morning by Gov
ernor Joseph M. Dixon in addressing
the annual convention of the American
Legion Of Montana. With 10000 men
given to the world conflict, with $780,
600 appropriated for the veterans
welfare commission and with sub
stantial cooperation in the rehabili-
tation of veterans, Montana can be
proud of her record, the governor
declared. He summarized the poverty
that war has inflicted on humanity,
pointing out what great things the
state could accomplish in civic i'm
provements if unburdened of taxes
that must now be contributed in pay
ing for wars.
Men who made good in the uniform
will do it now in the broader scope Of
civic life, Governor Dixon said.

TERMS OF PEACE COMPACT
ARRANGED

Washington, June 27.-Terms
of the compromise agreement on
the KnOx-POrter resolutions to end
the state of war with Germany
and Austria have been settled, Re-
publican leaders said today, and
formal acceptance is expected at
a meeting of the conferees tomor-
row after the return of Senator
rox, Republican, Pennsylvania,
nor of the senate peace resO-
luton. ...
Chairmen Lodge and Porter of
the senate and house conferees
were reported to have discussed
today the compromise draft,
which was said to be satisfactory
to both sides.
The conference compromise is
said to embody adoption of the
provisions of the house resolution
declaring a state of peace in
stead of repeating the war declar-
atiOns, as proposed by the Knox
resolution, and additional prOvis-
ions of the latter reserving Ameri-
can rights to German property
and privileges under the peace
treaties.
