RATE ON CATTLE
MAY BE REDUCED
INTERSTATE COMMERCE. COM
MISSION WILL ADVISE CUT
OF 20 PER CENT
Producers Contend that Reduced
Rates Would Stimulate the Live
Stock Industry and Help Save 1t
From Ruin; Montana Commission
Not Surprised at Decision.

A 20 per cent reduction in live
stock freight rates from western and
intermountain states to eastern mar
kets was suggested Monday to the
railroads by the interstate commerce
commission in deciding the appeal of
the Montana railroad commission and
the commissions of other stock grow
ing states for relief.
The federal commission finds,
however, that present rates are not
unjust and unreasonable. 1t requires
that reductions, if made, shall not
be less than SO cents per 100 pounds.
Rates as suggested may be published
to become effective on not less than
five days notice, the decision said.
The Montana commission was not
surprised at the decision, Secretary
E. G. Toomey said, although it had
hoped an outright reduction would be
granted.
Emergency reductions granted last
May still are in effect, the commits
sion said, and there is nothing to
show that they have materially in
creased traffic or that present rates
have apprecfably reduced the move
ment of livestock which must be
marketed as it natures.
"There has been some reduction
in movement since 1918 and 1919
when the movement was greatest"
the commission said, "but for 1921
judging by the figures for the first
four or five months, it promises to
equal or exceed that prior to the
war"
The producers commended that re-
duced rates would stimulate the in
dustry and help save it from ruin.
The commission indicated that it pro-
posed reductions on this basis.
1--WE have always recognized the
right of the carriers to adapt rates
and practices to the needs of the To-
~calities and industries which they
serve as to promote the welfare of
shipper and carrier alike where that
can be done within the limits of rea-
and without the undue
prejudice and unjust determinations
the law prohibits" the COM
said. u

Pedigreed Grain Crops Increase

A. ]. Ogaard, secretary of the Mon
tana Seed Growers association, in
spected several pure seed fields near
Bainyille last week. Members of the
association who are making a start
this year in raising pedigreed seed
are George Lesson, Bainville, Vic
tory oats; Sid Blair, Culbertson, Vic
tory oats; Earl Coin, Poplar, G. 5. 10
flax and Victory oats; Farming cor
poration, Poplar, G. I. 10 flax; A. C.
Boyd, Poplar, Canadian Marquis.
These farmers use special pedi-
greed seed and produce registered
seed under the rules of the Montana
Seed Growers association. 1t is ex-
pected that through such special seed
growers and crop demonstrations,
Roosevelt county will become stand
ardized in the matter of small grains,
every farmer growing the best adapt
ed varieties of any given crop.

RAIN is NEEDED FOR CORN AND
POTATOES AND LATE
GROWTH STUFF
Winter Wheat is About All Cut and
in Some Sections, Threshed; Sum-
mer FallOw Wheat Yielding Well;
Fail Flowing Has Begun in Many
Sections.

Favorable weather for harvesting
and threshing has prevailed through
out the week, although r pota-
toes, garden truck and late grains
have suffered from the dry, windy
weather, according to the weekly
weather and crop summary for Mon
tana issued by the local weather bu-
reau. The summary follows:
Harvesting and threshing have
made good progress during the week
under the most favorable weather
conditions. There we're a few scat
tered light showers oyer the state,
and light to moderate rain fell in
portions of the region, including the
main range and in the Judith Basin.
High temperatures and hot winds in
eastern counties, with a serious want
of rain, were detrimental to corn and
potatoes and to late, uncut grain
crops. In other sections also, with
prevailing dry, windy weather, these
crops have suffered and hay has
burned, but showers are general oyer
most of the state and doing much
good. Fall wheat seeding has begun
in Meagher county.
? Winter wheat is about all cut, and
in some sections mostly ~threshed. In
the northwest it is running 20 to 40
bushels per acre. Summer fallow
wheat is running 80 to SO bushels
in southern Chouteau. The crop is

PUT ONE OVER ON
FOXY OLD RIVER
FARMERS OF MUSSELSHELL AND
WHEATLAND MAY GO INTO
STORAGE PROJECT
Estimated that Undertaking Will Re-
claim $4,000 to 10000 Acres;
Would Store Water in Dead Mans
Basin Which is Considered as of
Petroleum Possibilities.

Construction of an irrigation res

basin which later may be drilled fol
oil is the interesting project before
engineers of the state irrigation COM
mission.
Dead Mans basin, northwest OF
Barker in Golden Valley county, is
the reservoir. BY the simple exped-
lent of digging a canal, spring flood
waters of the Musselshell river can
be diverted into the basin. The river
circles the basin, and, having a great
fall, the same river can be refilled
in the dry months from a tunnel dug
from the lower end of the basin back
to the river.
Fred e. Buck, chief irrigation en-
gineer, declares the project one of
the most interesting that has come
under his notice. Preliminary re-
ports are that the venture is entirely
feasible. The protection of the oil
rights in the basin offers very little
difficulty, since California oil COM
panies for years have been drilling
wells out in the ocean, and getting
too.
Organization of an irrigation dis
trict to profit from the storage of
in Dead Mans basin is pro-
posed by farmers in Musselshell and
counties. The water of
the Musselshell river is now taken
by individual farmers on separate fill
and through small bitches. The
does not carry enough water in
the dry season to supply all these
By the organization of the district
and the establishment of the reser
voir, it is estimated that all of the
DID rights can be supplied and from
5000 to 10000 acres of "dry" land
irrigated in addition.
The reservoir, with the canal into
It and the tunnel from it back into
he river, together with about IL
niles of bitches required to take the
from the river out to the lands
needing water, can be put in shape
'or about $4,000 engineers esti-
nate. From 10000 to 10000 acre
'eet of water can be stored. By the
construction of dykes on the lower
ide of Dead Mans Basin as much
more water can be stored as will be
'equired.
Mr.. Buck will make an official in
of the project some time
his summer.

Montana Climate.

The Oliver ranch south of Ring
ling is planning on disposing of their
Kanrad winter wheat locally for
seed purposes. The wheat is from
an importation from Russia by the
Kansas State college, and after ex-
periments covering years is said to
be the best of any winter wheat, and
will not winter kill.
Qualities of Kanrad~wheat as dem
onstrated by raisers' tests and com
parsons with other types of wheat
are as follows:
Higher yield because of winter
killing and drought resisting quail
ties.
Earlier maturity, which gets wheat
away from early frosts.
Shorter straw, which means that
plant takes less plant food and less
moisture to develop.
Good flour-making qualities.

land where Kanrad withstood winter
and spring winds and came

For twenty hours this food is
backbone reason you like
it-another reason why it
digests so easily.

One of the important things in connection with
any cereal food is to have it thoroughly baked or
cooked. For baking or cooking changes the starch
of the grains.
Grape-Nuts is the longest baked of all cereal foods.
1t is scientifically baked at carefully regulated tenn
peratures for 20 hours. This is one of the reasons
why Grape-Nuts digests so easily; why it agrees
with many people who cannot take any other form
of cereal without producing fermentation.
A goodly part of Grape-Nuts is converted into
dextrose, ready to be Immediately assinnilated by
the system, and yield strength and energy. A
further portion has partially undergone this change,
while there remains sufficient unchanged cereal to
strengthen the digestive organs. 1t is then in a
condition to meet the various requirements of the
digestive system.
If you want to eat a most strengthening and nour-
ishing food, and one that will digest more readily, go
to your grocer today and get a package of Grape
Nuts. Eat it with stewed fruit or as a cereal with
milk or cream; or make it into an a~ppetizng pudding.
Every member of the family will enjoy its deli
cious flavor and wholesomeness.
