There is nothing uncanny, nothing

when imports are brought into this
country they are assessed on the basis
ef the value in foreign countries. The
invoice is presented and on that the
importer puts his value.
Invoices Practically Worthless
"These invoices-to give them all the

perhaps, than the paper on which
they are printed. Now, I say, that

INCREASE DOCkAGE
in SPRING WHEAT

In every 20 bushels of spring wheat
thrashed annually in the United
States there is 1 bushel Of dockage
which is largely weed seeds, accord
ing to an estimate made by the United
States department of agriculture
based on figures for the 1921 crop
produced in Minnesota, North Dakota,
and South Dakota. If all of the dock
age were to be cleaned out of the
spring wheat raised and shipped to
market separately it would fill more
than 5000 freight cas- containing
$4,000 pounds eaca.
Records of cro.a inspection in Min
nesOta show that for the last Is years
the percentage of dockage in wheat
arriving at the terminal markets in
that state has gradually increased.
The average dochage for 1908 was

The LINCOLN CRIB d.
i EATING MORE CORN

; Out in Nebraska where they have
more corn than they know what to
do with the Lincoln Crib proposes to
store away some of the surplus which
corn growers are finding so burden
some. This crib, started by the Lin
coin Chamber of Commerce, was so
successful that other corn-belt organ
izations are considering similar cribs.
Instead of being a huge storage
house for corn this is an organization
of about half a thousand men and
women who call themselves the Corn
Eaters of America. The purpose of
the organization which is making rap
id growth is to direct attention to the
value of economy of corn and its pro-
ducts as food and to help reduce the
surplus of this grain. The only fail
ure in connection with the organiza-
tion of the Lincoln Crib, according to
the chamber of commerce, was that
there was no banquet room in the city
large enough to accommodate the
hundreds who wanted to join as char
ter members.
With the help of the United States
department of agriculture food bull
letins and circulars on exclusive corr
menu was planned. The first course
consisted of cream of corn au gratin
Corn-cake tobacco smoked in corn.
cob pipes substituted for Havanas al
the end of the dinner and in between
were courses of cornfed Nebraska porl
loins, corr saute (hominy) with greer
pepper, corn on cob, corn bread, corr
salad with pimentoS, cornstarch pud
ding, corn cookies, and corn candy.
The critical corn situation was de
picted by a play in which King Corr
too feeble to support himself, figure
as the chief character. With him sa
Queen Minnie Wheat. Character
which depicted the plight of the cor
grower were Hard Times, Hi Taxes
Idle Labor, and Speculation, but the

by High Prices and Prosperity.
proclamation was issued by the Hig
Chancellor calling upon all subject
of the King to eat corn once a day.
Members of the Lincoln Crib, a
preciating the splendid corn prepari
tions which had been served them
the banquet, pledged themselves
eat more corn and corn-fed meat al
to encourage others to do so. tt
menu of corn foods combined with Il
play got the message across in a b
way with the result that many 9th

Montana Farming Topics


the total crop of spring wheat, it
means that more than 10000, 900 bush
els of 60 pounds each of dockage was
grown and thrashed in the United
States last year. Fully 80 per cent
of the dockage could easily have been
removed, it is said, by the proper use
of an ordinary farm tanning mill.
Realization Of these conditions
prompted specialists of the depart
ment to design a grain r~ecleaner at
tachment for thrashing machines to
remove this dockage from the wheat
as a part of the thrashing operation.
Preliminary tests of this recleaner in
dictate its p~racticability.

DRILLING COMPANY !.
Will RE-ORGANIZE

Lewistown, Jan 30.-(Special)-In
an effort to re-organize the Gordon
Campbell-Kevi Syndicate along con-
structive lines, Gordon Campbell, geo.
logist and head of the company, has
announced a plan of big development
for the Rocky Ridge field during
1922. The first step is to complete
the test well now down 1,720 feet in
NENWH Sec. 16, Twp. So N, Range
3 W, and awaiting suitable weather
to drill. o..
This is to be followed by manufac-
ture of casinghead gasoline from the
natural gas which is already flowing
in commercial quantity from this well.
Other wells will be drilled also, spot
ted solely for oil or for gas, and the
latter, Mr.. Campbell believes, will be-
come a big "gasser." Plans also in
clude, when necessary, construction
of an oil pipeline 3k miles long from
the well to the Great Northern and
a refinery.
Adhering to the results of a recent
questionable which poured into his
office, from unitholders in the Cor
don Campbell-Kevin Syndicate; Mr..
Campbell, with his wife and E. F.
GUNNER, have incorporated the Cor
don Campbell corporation. Mr. Gum
mer, who is one of the big unit hold
ers of the old syndicate, came here
from Frazee, Mimi, where he was en-
gagged in the banking business, to as
sist in the reorganization.
"The company is capitalized at 81

capitalization was fixed at thai

and reeled and from the stands It
looked as though he would collapse
before he reached the tape. Accord
ing to all visible evidence Brown was
physically through. Stagg believes
that only his capacity for nervous
emotion" the ability to command hid
den reserves of the spirit, kept him
going on to finish that last, brilliant
half in LA and clinch a new worlds
record for his team.
The case of Carpenter and his
comeback in the second round at Jer-
sey City was recalled. Battered. beat
en- and crushed by the powerful first
round blows of Dempsey, Carpenter,
to the wise ones" at the ring side,
was good for not more than a minute
in the second round. Stagg believes
that it was Carpenters capacity for
nervous emotion" that brought him
back in the second round to within
point of victory.
Stagg illustrated his point with the
story of a Chicago half back in a
game played about ten years ago.
This player weighed 149 pounds, but
Stagg believed that he had to a
marked degree "the capacity for nerv-
Gus emotion" He was playing in a
game when the score was tied with
only five minutes to play. Chicago
had the ball with 80 yards TO go for
a touchdown. Stagg ordered the Chi
cago quarterback to give the light
half back the ball on every play. On
line bucks and end runs the half back
took the ball 90 yards in four min
utes and won the game.
After the game Stagg took the
youngster into the dressing room. He
had to undress and put on his
street clothes for him. He had to
take the player to his hotel. There he
had to stay in the youngsters room
until 9 o'clock the next morning when
the boy finally went to sleep. His
capacity for nervous emotion had
been so aroused during that desperate
9O-yard march down the field that he
could not go back to normal until the
following morning. That, according TO.
the veteran Stage, is the most neces--
sary trait in an athlete.

COLLEGE GRID GAME
GREATEST OF SPORT
Schedule Is Short and Fans Do
Not Tire of Game.
Athlete Spends Much Physical Energy
and Gives Much of His Time for
Plaudits of Fellow Students
Ohio Favored.

While not greatly alarmed over the
prospect, often one finds himself in
reverie as to what is the possible flu
ture of football. 1t is the most delight
full sport on the schedule today for
many reasons, and whether it will re-
main so is a matter of concern, says d
writer in an exchange.
Football has intrinsic merit as re-
tainer of hot interest because each col
lege team confines its schedule to
something like ten or eleven weeks. 1t
Is all over before one loses zest for it.
1t is a game that is SO splendidly anna
teur still that it thrills all sorts of pa
ronage. Where is there an athlete who
spends so much of physical energy and
gives so much of his time TO a cause
as the college football player? He
does it all for the plaudits his student
friends give him if successful, or he
bears his bruises in silence if he falls
just short of being a success. He gets
some valuable lessons out of it, of
course, but in the main he pays pretty
well for what he secures. But of late
we have noted a stadium age develop
ing in football and winning team has
been emphasized more than the good
that the college and players themselves
get out of this safety valve" in good
hard competition in which the end is
clean sport rather than a winner.
Stadia cannot be paid for with losing
teams, so there is a hint at pressure
to get a winner and attract the big
crowds. Not all institutions are so
happily favored as Ohio State, where
a stadium was erected by subscription,
but our exception here simply drives
home the point that in other institu-
tons conditions are not always so IA
vorable-in other words, not many col
leges and universities have Columbus
that is loyal to its teams in lean as
well as prosperous years.
We hate to see an attitude where
what is the attendance going to be?'
is a question almost as naturally asked
as rs our team going TO fight to the
limit tomorrow
One may talk until blue around the
gills about the evils of pro football
and they are evils-but there are I'M
conscious evils in colleges themselves
just forming that must be watched
The size of a crowd or what comes i'm
at the gate is not the thing Real
craftsmanship on the field and Civ
ing of all a player has under wise
coaching is the thing. A winner is de-
sirable, but not to pay for stadium.
