The farm survey being conducted
in northern Montana by the Montana
extension service is beginning tC
show definite results, according to NJ
l.. Wilson, farm management demon
strator in charge. With the careful
survey being made of tillage imple-
ments, the Montana extension service
has gathered some interesting data
on the experience that various farm
ers have had with various tillage inn
Elements.
In general, the northern Montana
farmers cultivate with three objects
in mind; seed bed preparation, moist
ure conservation, weed control and
control of soil blowing. Discussion
of the tillage implements used III
northern Montana will, therefore, be
a discussion with these four main
points in view. Because conserva-
ton of moisture takes first rank in
the minds of most farmers, imple-
ments which will destroy weeds and
maintain the mulch necessary to hold
moisture in the ground are imple-
ments most favored. Because of the
peculiar demands of tillage in nor

ments used are home made and hence
have no exact type on the market.
Among the home made implements
commonly found are the sled knife
weeder or '~slicker," the non-clog
large knife or small knife weeders,
and the ~gooseneck slicker. Bar weed
ers are coming into favor fast, with
some f~ayoring the single bar weeder,
others the double bar weeder.
Sled Knife Weeder
The sled knife weeder is generally
a sled-like affair made of about 2x6
lumber with the blade set below the
bottom of the runners so it will ira
vel through the ground about three
inches under the surface. The blade
will cut practically all weeds and
will help in maintaining the clod
mulch so much desired on most of
the farms. The blade can be made
Of 3-8 by 2 3-4-inch steel, or a road
grader blade may be utilized. This
weeder is satisfactory on medium and
heavy soils, where trash and weeds
we're well turned under in blowing.
they are liable to clog badly on soil
'ull of rubbish or stubble.
To prevent this clogging a number
# changes have been found from the
knife or blade type. Many
a number of slanting knives in
lace of the one bar, the knives so
laced at an angle that trash is al
owed to drift back while weeds
which are anchored by roots are cut
way. This sort of weeder is often
nade in sections, which can be con-
.ected the same as spike-tooth har-
ows.
There are many farmers using the
'oose-neck slicker, although A. J.
crops and soils specialist of
he Montana extension service, sees
tile advantage over the knife weed
The goose-neck slicker uses the
principle as the knife weeder,

but is intended for more difficult LAM
conditions, where there is grass O
perennial weeds. The driver rides OF
a tailboard which, by the shifting o
his position, is made to cut to tht
desired depth.
Rod Weeders
Rod Weeders, Mr.. Ogaard and Mr.
Wilson find, are coming into favor
fast. Where they can be used the
stationary rod weeder leaves a better
surface condition than does the
slicker or knife weeder. The rods
are used at the bottom of a SLED
much as the knives are used. The
pressure of the soil and sled on the
rod serves to pull out most of the
weeds and avoids pulverizing of the
soil. 1t is generally reported by far
mers that more power is required for
this weeder, that it clogs more read
lily, and that the weeder is not we'll
adapted to heavier soils. 1t should
not be used on wet land, they all
agree.
The knife and rod weeders are all
on the same principle, the knife and
rod weeder both employing some
form of sled, and the slicker usually
of the goose-neck type and working
the ground under direct pull on the
bar.
The bar weeder is another type
often found. Ogaard reports that a
farmer whom he found using the
weeder called it the "dry land safety
razor" 1t is a bar, turned at the
end at right angles, the turned ends
connecting with a timber which sup
ports the tail piece. The bar may
be regulated to different depths of
work. The machine can be made
from eve to eight feet in width and
with about two feet clearance.
North of Rudyard, Wilson found
a good implement on the farm of Mr.
Settlers. This implement was eff
cient in the removal of dry thistles
from the field before blowing. A
piece of heavy timber, 4 by 6, about
Is feet long, had spikes set in every
8 inches. These spikes were pieces
of gaspipe, flattened to a point and
projecting IA inches below the tim

center to use in dumping the ma

BIG COAL FIELD
NEAR BOHEMIAN

In addresses before the Bozeman
Kiwanis club, Arthur v. Cory. well
known mining engineer, and William
Gibson. a coal company official. de-
clared that there is not only a posi-
bility but a strong probability that
right at Bozeman's doors may soon
be opened one of the largest and best
coal fields in the state.
This field, they asserted, will not
only furnish Bozeman and Living
ston, but Butte, Anaconda, Helena,
and other western Montana cities,
with a supply of fuel.
These men and others interested
with them, backed by Duluth capital,
have taken over the old coal proper
ties at Chestnut and have gone far
enough in their development, they
say, to prove beyond question that
there is a big supply of coal of the
finest quality, and all that is neces-
sary is to develop it.
At present they are working 27
men and are taking out approximate
ly SO tons of coal a day, with a mar
ket for every pound they can mine.
Red Lodge and other coal mining
centers in Montana and Wyoming,
have pay rolls running from 100000
to $4,000 a month. 1t is the belief
of those who have studied the situa-
ton that the mines at Chestnut can
be developed so as to make the camp
equal to those of eastern Montana
and this would be a big thing for
Bozeman in addition to securing an
ample supply of cheap coal for home
consumption.

than a mile and a half from where
thew had been at the time of the
storm. He had then driven them
out and watched them until he be-
came half-starved and had then pock-
eted them in the hills and went to
the camp tenders camp.
After leading the men to the sheep
the dog became uneasy and led them
to the top of a low hill overlooking
a shallow ravine. He then refused
to go further, and when the men
started away went with them, only
to lead them again to the small hill
overlooking the gully. The men then
investigated and found the body of
Lipps where he had been instantly
killed two and a half days before by
a bolt of lightning during the severe
storm.

Canvassing For
Cotton Growers
Association

Columbia, April 25.-Reports to the
headquarters of the South Carolina
Cotton Growers Cooperative Associa-
ton today indicated that over 5000
farmers and business men took the
field today to canvass for signatures
to the cotton cooperative marketing
contract. In many cities and towns
there is partial suspension Of busi-
ness for the day. In Dorchester coun-
ty all of the county officers closed for
the day and all of the county officers
went out in the canvass for contracts.
All records for number of contracts
signed in one day appear to have been
smashed yesterday. From every Sec
tion of the state ca mereports of a
heavy signup and officials of the asso-
citation said today that while they
were as yet unable to give definite fig
ures they were confident that all rec
ords for one day had been broken. To-
day, however, is expected to see yes
terday's record broken by many thou
sands of bales.
The interest which the business men
Of the state are taking in the move
ment is attested by the generous re-
sponse in most of the counties to the
proclamation of the governor today, it
is said.
The contract of H. P. Dyches, one of
the largest farmers in Aiken county,
was received today.

CANDIDATES SPEAK
in WARD THREE

The city campaign meeting was
held in ward three last night and a
very large attendance was noted.
Men, women and children came out to
hear the candidates. Three candidates
for alderman, J. M. O'ShieIds, B. A.
Whitener and H. G. James were pres
ent. Mr.. James and Mr.. White
ner made brief speeches; Mr..
O'Shields, owing to having lost his
voice, had the chairman, Mr.. Mix
son, to announce his candidacy for
him.
Each candidate for mayor spoke,
as did the candidates for commission
er of public works. The meeting pass
cd off quietly. One of the chief mat
ters Of interest was the discussion of
the financial report recently published
in the newspapers. The report was
prepared by c. L. Vann, public ac-
countant. Mr.. McLure, at the meet
ing last night, said that the report
showed no dishonesty. The money
was all accounted for, but he charged
IlC gan WIFI OK
travagance, with wasting the city's
money. The explanation was "too
many bosses; too few laborers." Mr..
Morgan presented, as rebuttal, the
fact Of initiation in prices and high la
Dor and material costs during the
period.
With the exception of the question
of the report the speakers covered
about the same grounds as heretofore.
The next meeting will be held Fri
day night, April %, at Johnson's
store, ward four.
At the conclusion of the meeting
Mayor Morgan was presented beau
tiful bouquet of roses from his admir-
ers.

BIG PROBLEMS
BEING SOLVED

Washington, April 25.-Aeronauti
cal problems which have baffled the
best minds of the scientific world arc
being solved with marked success
through experiments in the laborato.
ries at Langley Field, Va, under the
direction of the national advisory
committee for aeronautics, Joseph A
Ames, chairman of the executive
committee, declared today in an ed
dress at the concluding session OF
the National Academy of Sciences.
There are three outstanding prob
lens in aeronautics, Dr. Adams said
these involving the discovery of Il
substitute for the gasoline engine
determination of the shape and sec.
ton of wing which will imp ovC
the performance of an airplane anC
the replacement of the ordinary ex.
pertinent on models of airplanes on
their parts by method giving com.
plete information concerning full siz
ed machines.
Ames explained, is the satisfactory
modification of the Liberty engine
which will enable it to function by
an injection of oil. This is done BY
increasing the size of the piston, ir
order to produce a suitable com '.
sion. Air is then admitted, rapl~ !
compressed, thus raising the temper
ature sufficiently to ignite the OF
which is admitted at a jet. The ad
vantages derived from this modifica
ton, it is said, were smaller weight
of oil requirement and small cost
and dimunition of fire risk.
DR.. Ames further declared that in
vestigatons concerning airplant
wings had resulted in the develop
ment of a wing which offered marked
advantages over al now in use, botf
aero-dynamically and structural!
and that, under the direction of tht
committee, the Newport News Ship
building company had just complet
ed large steel tank or wind tunne
which was believed to be the largest
in the world in which are to be test
ed in the future models of airplanes
and their parts. All the balances anc
apparatus in the tunnel, he said
worked automatically and readings
are taken through small windows
The results obtafned through ffii'
new apparatus, he further declared
would open an entirely new field il
aerodynamics.

BLIZZARD TRIAL
BEGINS TODAY

Charlestown, w. Va, April 25 (By
Associated Press) William Biz
zard, mine union official sometimes
spoken of as general of the march
against Logan" but denying that
he took any part in the August, 1921,
disorders, will go on trial for treas
on tomorrow in the circuit court of
Jefferson county. This was the re-
suit of day replete with legal ques-
tions during which Judge J. M. Woods
gave long decision overruling the
demurrer of defendants in the
"march" case against the treason
charges. Separate trials and the Sc
lection of Blizzard as the first de-
fendant were then provided for.
Each step in today's procedure was
accomplished only after earnest and
hard fought argument by some of the
most brilliant minds represented in
the bar of the state, arraigned half
dozen to each side and the untang-
ling of difficult and frequently un-
usual questions of law and practice
fell to Judge Woods lot for the most
careful consideration throughout the
session.
When court convened for its sec
ond day Judge Woods had not com
pleted the study of law and prece-
dent necessary to making his deci-
sion. He Immediately adjourned
court until afternoon.
The greater part of his decision
was devoted to discussion of the de-
fense's contention that the indict-
ment was too general and in find
ing against this contention he ruled
that some of the intents and overt
acts alleged in the indictment were
of such nature that he would over
rule the demurrer. Exception of the
defense to his ruling was noted on
the record.
The most brisk interplay of argu-
ment between counsel followed an
nouncement of the defense that the
90 men out of those charged with
treason whose cases came into this
court on change of venue elected to
be tried separately. Forrest W.
Brown, local attorney associated
with the prosecution, asked that all
the defendants enter their pleas. T.
rewnserd, one Of the defendants
attorneys, countefed with a demand
that the state first elect which man
it would try, requiring only that one
to plead.
