Corn as a crop is probably growing
in popularity faster than any othe
crop in Montana. Records show tina
the acreage of corn In Montana ha.
Increased more than 1900 per cen
since 1910. Because Of this growing
Importance of corn and because of the
limiting factors Of rainfall and hea-
1t is well to consider corn growing il

but especially as to adapted varieties

tana conditions will continue to be
quite different from those in the corr
belt. To use the expression Of A. j
Ogaard, Montana extension service
agronomist, Opposition to nature will
bring nothing but grief. Common
sense and prudence dictate that we
modify our ideas with reference to
methods and varieties to harmonic
with the limiting factors in Montana
In Montana a relatively low number

lions from the commonly accepted
types of corn. Adapted types Of north
western corns are, therefore, charac-
terized by a mor limited leaf area,
shorter stalks, lower, smaller and
smoother ears, as well as shallower,
smoother and more flinty kernels as
compared with the corr belt types.
At present Montana type is more i'm
portant than variety because variation
in strains of zach variety is in many
tween varieties.
Seed Is Important
Home grown seed will work toward
the sure improvement of corn varieties
in Montana. The Montana extension
service this fall will inaugurate a seed
corn selection campaign which is aimed
to induce farmers to select and store
seed cor reserves sufficient for two
or three years in advance.
The corn growing areas of Montana
may be said to exist east of q rather
indistinct line drawn from Carbon
northwest through Great Falls
to the Canadian border. The state is
divided into four variety districts.
Medium late dent may be grown in the
valley from Billings east.
Semi-dents and cary dents may be
grown in a section roughly described
central eastern Montana. Semi
dents and early dents may be grown for
fodder and silage in the northern tier
Of Montana counties and in the south
ern tier of counties. Early flints are
suggested for certain areas in various
parts of the state.
Late DentsELate dents are the
corn that a be grown safely
In this state. Varieties generally will

other regions they are grown for silage

Dedicate Idaho-Montana Bridge

Libby.-An event of Importance in
Lincoln county's history was the dedi-
cation recently of the interstate bridge
at Leonia. This splendid structure
was recently completed by means of
funds contributed by Montana and
Idaho and money from the federal gov
eminent.
The bridge is of steel and spans the
river on the Idano-Montana line. 1t
connects the railroad town of Leonia
with the rich farming. mining and tim
bering district on the north side of the

Tailored Suits
Have the Call

the blousing bodice Of a dress. Sew
eral of these are notable for their long,
tight-fitting sleeves, so long that they
wrinkle in order not to cover the
hands.
Tailored suits made from striped
materials are very interesting In their
detail, transverse stripes being used
in opposition to vertical ones to work
out the novelty Of the design.
There Is a note of red on many of
the new suits, a bright Chinese red
being used as an embroidery, piping
or belt trimming in combination with
black, with navy blue, castor beige
tones and gray.
An interesting feature is the crepe
de chine jacket suit, the material be-
ing treated as one would use a serge.

Patou makes a complete showing of
tailored suits, three-piece suits, after
noon dresses and evening gowns for
jeunes files. He has used perfect
taste and discrimination between the
youthful models and mature styles.
This house also ~specializes in sports
clothes. Patou shows blazer suits and
knitted suits of jersey cloth. He is
not afraid to use color, as all his sport
garments are in high tones and his
youthful models in suits and dresses
run toward yellow and red, with strong
accent on the former.
Martial ct Armand is making a big
feature of the wooden tailored suit
with Jacket and the tailored wool dress
with cape or jacket, also the robe man
teau, or wooden street dress, having
the appearance of a coat. The pre-
dominance of such models gives the
impression of simplicity and practical
ity to the showing.
In view Of the international interest
in out-of-door sports for women Paris
is showing her talent in designing nov
elites for this purpose. Every impor-
tant house has given this subject some
attention, and several houses boldly
announce having opened special atel-
liers for the creation of tennis, golf
and other sports wear garments.
Knitted suits, coats and sweaters nat
urally have a large showing in this
line, but with true Partisan original
ity and ingenuity many other interest
ing new things are shown for sports
wear.

continues.
Spraying of plants is useless in con-
troll of this disease. Seed should be
obtained from a field entirely free
from blackleg. At planting time seed
should be cut and then treated with
fo~rmaldehyde, one pint to thirty gal
Ions of water. Seed should be treated
for five minutes only, as longer treat
ment is liable to injure termination
power of the seed. This treatment will
kill all bacteria on the surface but

botany department of the Montana

rThree-Piece Outfits Are in the
LimeIight of Paris Fashions,
Correspondent Says.
COATS SHORT and YOUTHFUL
Abbreviated Garments Provided to
Make Women Appear Young
Jacket Looks Like the Blous-
ing Bodice of Dress.

The one-piece dress, like Tennyson's
brook, might have gone on forever,
writes a Paris fashion correspondent
in the New York Tribune, had not the
tailors Of the world suddenly discov-
cred that the way to secure a large
part Of the business going to the dress
maker was to make suits and coats
with the allure Of the one-piece cloth
dress; that is to say, the severe lines
of the tailored suit of other days must
give place to soft drapery, and the
strictly tailored coat, when used, must
be short and youthful in appearance,
for women desire, above all things, to
have their clothes make them appear
young. The chemise dress did this.
Some of the most successful models
might have made suitable frocks for
little girls.
The tailored suit has been in
the height of fashion since prewar
days until this season. Such great
fnesse have tailors shown In this that
it has come to pass that the three
piece suit is the high light of
fashion-a thing which no one be-
lieved would eve happen again.
Dog Collar Belt of Badger Hair.
Even O'Rossen, the tailor, of the
Place Vendome, in Paris, who made
himself famous almost over night by
means of his severely tailored gray
suit, has changed his tactics and is
now featuring suits with short grace
full jackets blousing over a low-placed
waistline. He has completely forsak-
en- gray-the color which precipitated
him into the limelight-and now uses
the soft sand shades. The materials
which he favors are English woolens,
serges and tricotines.
1t Is quite remarkable how coquet-
fish are some Of the street coats for
spring. Designers have obviously en-
deavored to make them as becoming
as possible that they, too, might rival
the very smart one-piece wool dress.
Typical of models of this sort is a
coat developed in a brilliant brownish
red cloth and trimmed with thread
ings of black taffeta cut in bias points.
This model has the Madeleine Vionnet
circular swing and c~up-shaped collar
standing erect. The floating ends of
taffeta are quite unusual on a cloth
coat.
The marked feature Of another coat
Is its dog collar belt, exactly Ike that
worn by the smart and m~uch-indulged
bulldog. The belt is of raspberry red
and black enamel leather bordered
with bristling badger hair. The coat
itself, which seems almost secondary,
is In a raspberry red velours de laine
embroidered in black and gray.

Potato blackleg is a new but dan

The name comes from a disease symp-

FEED CHICKS CAREFULLY

After chicks have been Matched they
should not be fed for at least twenty
four hours, says Prof. w. f. Schoppe,
State college p~oultryman. For the
next ten days they should be given
feed four or five times a day but
never allowed to have all they want
to eat. The aim in this early feeding
is to keep the chicks always a little
hungry.

Three-Piece Suits Of Two Fabrics.

Worth makes a speciality of crepe de
chine three-piece suits, many Of which
have very fancy sleeves. He combines
two materials, such as crepe marocain
and crepe de chine. The sleeves, in
addition to being very elaborate, are
often much embroidered in beautiful
combinations of color.
Jean Patou has created a great i'm
preston with his smart youthful lines,
notably In suits and simple tailored
and one-piece dresses. Practically all
jackets are short and in distinct tall
ored style, many being belted like the
Russian blouse. He uses lovely tweeds
and other interesting materials in
mixed grays. AS a variety among
jacket suits he has models with smart
short capes. In nearly every instance
a very attractive blouse accompanies
the suit, this in itself being quite as
much a feature as the suit.
Two materials are often combined;
thus he shows one tailored model
Mephisto-with a white serge skirt
and a red serge jacket. There is a
full line Of one-piece afternoon dresses
in both wool and in silk. The navy
blue serge dress is at it's best in this
collection. A lovely model called

mis- jacquard serge, which seems to
have a fine thread embroidery in white

Test Of Jurisdiction
At Sea Is Up in Court

WASHINGTON, Oct. 8. - The su-
preme Court will hear argument, pos
sibly this week, on case which even
tua]ly may have an important bearing
on the enforcement of prohibition on
ships at sea. While relating to an al
legged conspiracy to defraud the United
States in the matter of oil fuel fur
nished to Shipping Board vessel, the
case squarely presents the scope of
jurisdiction of the United States on
the high seas, and was so stated by the
government.
The captain and another officer Of a
Shipping Board vessel were charged
with conspiring with a representative
of the Standard Oil Company, Of Brazil
and a merchant Of Rio de Janeiro to
order 1000 tons of fuel oil, accept de-
livery of 600 tons and give a receipt for
the full quantity, dividing among
themselves the price which the govern
'ment paid for the 400 tons which were
not delivered.
The conspiracy was alleged to have
been committed on the high seas, but
the United States District Court, New
York City, held Congress had not legis-
lated specifically on the subject and
dismissed the criminal proceeding in
stituted by the government.
Having disposed of forty cases during
the first week of the fall term, the
court is expected to deliver opinions
tomorrow on some brought over from
the last term.

Will Fight Fathers Will
Tenor's Widow, Here ON Adri-

Mrs. Enrico Caruso, who arrived
home from Italy yesterday on the Adri-
attic Of the White Star Line, indicated
in statement given out by her secre-
tary that she will join her brothers and
sisters in contesting the will of her
father, the late Park Benjamin, wealthy
patent lawyer.
I'D much prefer not to discuss the
matter of my fathers estate until after
have consulted with my brothers and
sisters and our counsel, Wise & Sells
berg" the statement reads. However,.
l have determined to join with my
brothers and sisters to prevent not
merely an unjust disposition of my
fathers estate, but to show how utterly
unjustifed was the unnatural attack
upon all the children.
II cannot believe that father was
himself when he executed such a will.
II regret that the influences which in
duced such will must be aired in
court. They caused our family, in
cluding my dear mother, much sorrow
in fathers lifetime, and the result
after his death is most unfortunate to
everybody concerned. 1t is distressing
to learn that after q mans death such
cruel and unwarranted statement re-
fecting upon every one of his children
can be filed in the public records. /
cannot conceive that such will, exc
cuted under such circumstances, will
stand"
Mrs, Caruso was met at the pier by
her brother, Park Benjamin jr., who
escorted her to the Hotel Ambassador,
where she declined to amplify the
statement given out earlier in the day.

From the Trtbnne'8 Wdshfn0tou Buyenu
WASHINGTON, Oct. 8.---W While Amer
ican shipping awaits aid that will
enable 1t to compete with foreign ves-
sells, Germany is developing it's mer-
chant marine at rate that bids fair
to restore it before long to it's pre-
war position, when it was second only
to Great Britain on the seas, says
q statement issued by the National
Merchant Marine Association. The
gains Germany is making in carving
American commerce recall forcibly the
statement of British shipping men in
the post-armistice period that the
American merchant marine would find
ample employment in taking over the
carrying trade which Germany lost
with the losing Of the war.
Stripped Of practically all it's steam
sea-going tonnage by the peace terms,
Germany year ago had managed to
assemble slightly more than 900 900
gross tons. To-Day she has not far
from 100000 tons of shipping and is
well on her way toward her pre-war
figure Of five million tons. During 1920,
only $4,000 net tons of German ships
carrying cargoes entered and cleared
American ports, but last year the total
was close to 100000 tons. This year
1t Will be far in excess Of that figure.
Trade in German Ships
"The value of goods carried in
American trade by German ships fur
nishes another index of how Germany
is developing her merchant marine in
competition with American vessels. I'M
ports and exports earned by ieutou
ships have been as follows:
Calendar year 1919, $131,000; calen-
Il
year 1921, $17,212,o00; fiscal year, 1922,
$44, 900.
"Not only has Germany increased its
tonnage vastly and it's carrying trade as
well, but she has re-established every
one of her pre-war shipping routes
Financial statements of all the Ger
man shipping companies for 1921 show
substantial profits. The companies
have In bank amounts more than equal
ing their capital stocks and more than
two and half billion marks are avail
able for new ships. 1t is true that ius,
now many of Germany's trade services
are maintained by old vessels salyaged
from the war or bought since the
armistice, but the ship building pro-
gram fostered by the government and
by Hugo SHINES, Germany's CONNER
cial giant, calls for only the most eco
nomical and up-to-date craft.
North German Lloyd Progress
Karl G. Stunning, director general
Of the North German Lloyd, says his
company, which had a million tons
before the World War, now has 37o, 900
tons busy and would add 100000 tons
within the next year. This new tom
mage will be made up of twenty-onc
passenger steamers, the largest Of
which, the Columbus Of $4,000 tons, will
be commissioned early in 1923.
German shipbuilders are meeting
the problem of obtaining raw material
BY buying obsolete British and Amer
Jean tonnage and breaking it up. They
have driven Holland out of this busi-
ness. The larger ship plates are cut
remelted."
