OLDEST ENGINEER
LEAVES SERVICE

At 49,, George Geer, of Bozeman,
believed to be the oldest locomotive
engineer in active service in the United
States, has decided to turn over his
engine to the newer generation.
Although Mr.. Geer declares his eye
to be as bright and his brain as clear
as they were in 1854, when he began
~railroading, he thinks "a years on an
engine and 81 years as an active rail-
roader entitle him to n of the COM
Portable pensions of the Northern Pa
cific railway. Despite his advanced
years, Mr.. Geer has always-even up
to his last service days-passed with
high rank the most exacting examin-
atoms and tests of his profession and
held his seniority until just a few days
e when he resigned to 60 on the re-
tired list.
Mr.. Geer began %railroading in APP
ril, 1854, on the Buffalo & Erie rail-
road, as a water boy on a wood train.
Before long he had worked himself
up to the position of fireman OF a
switch engine.
In 1857, he entered the service of
the Michigan Central as a fireman.
In 1860 Mr.. Geer cast his first vote
for Abraham Lincoln, and in 1861 he
followed his convictions and enlisted in
shelf of a store. The sight Of it re-
minds them of its existence; but lack
ing some such accidental reminder as
this most of them forget that there
is such a thing as honey, and, in spite
Of their fondness for it, very seldom
buy it.
OF course, the point of the whole
thing was that honey has never been
advertised as it should be; but how
strange is the fact brought out by the
writer, that an article of food so de-
licious and so universally approved,
should for any reason whatever, fig
ure so little in the daily lives Of the
people. One would think that long
ago honey would have had its need
Of advertising and that it would have
been kept steadily in the mind of the
public and that the demand for it
\ would be so active and the consump-
ton Of it so great that it would be a
staple produced in large quantities
and\ available at a low price; that
therewould be bee hives at every farm
house, and that here and there all wei
the country would be bee farms de-
voted mainly to the production Of
honey.
What we eat is said to be mainly
a matter Of habit and these habits
are not easily changed. Certainly,

PREMIUM PRICE ON
WHEAT

Great Falls.-Local elevator and mill
men do not concur in the statements
of those Billings grain dealers who
were quoted as having said at a hear
ing conducted there last week by At
torney General Wellington D. Rankin
that there are no spring wheat grades
above No. / dark northern.
1t is asserted here that there are
three grades above dark northern
spring and that they are recognized
by elevators here and in this section
of the state. The difference in price
between any n of these grades and
dark northern spring represents the
premium paid for Montana wheat,
which runs as high as IL cents a bu-
shell. To contend that there are nc
grades above dark northern would be
to eliminate the advantage that ac-
crues to the grower through the high
quality of wheat grown in the state,
dealers declared.
The three grades of spring wheat
above dark northern are "fancy,"
"choice" and "good." Current quota
tions fix the price of No. 1 northern
at 81 cents and fancy dark northern at
80 cents. Between these are "choice"
dark northern at IS, and "good" dark
northern at 81. M. F. Mulroy, man.
ager of the Russell Milling company
at Billings, declared at the hearing, ac-
cording to a dispatch from there. that
there is no such a thing as fancy,
choice or good grades of dark nor
thern spring wheat. Elevators rep
resentatives at the hearing protested,
it was said, against the carrying Of
quotations by newspapers, saying that
the practice was detrimental to u.s."
The definitions given embracing the
fancy, choice, good and dark northern
grades of spring wheat are as follows:
"Fancy dark northern spring-must
be practically full 100 per cent flinty,
dry, amber kernels, with very high
gluten content.
"Choice dark northern spring-must
be approximately IS per cent flinty
dry, amber kernels, with high gluten
content.
"Good dark northen spring-must
be approximately 80 per cent flinty

STATE TO GUARD
MONTANA SEED

Helena.-Steps for the protection of
the reputation Of Montana grown al
falfa seed in the markets of the
United States will be taken at once
by the Montana department of agricul-
ture, according to Commissioner Ches-
ter C. Davis on his return from Miles
City where had been in attendance at
the Montana corn show and in confer
ence with the Montana Pure Seed
Growers association.
each year there is sold in Wiscon-
sin, Michigan and other north central
states where a preference exists for
Montana seed, many times as much
seed branded Montana-grown as is
grown and shipped out of this state.
The trade demands Montana seed; the
output is limited; INSCRIPTIONS deal
ers have taken advantage of the sit
uation and have sold southern grown
seed and imported seed as coming from
Montana. A strong basis exists for
suspicion that considerable alfalfa seed
has been shipped into Montana from
the states and re-billed out as Mon
tana-grown seed, according to the de-
partment of agriculture" Commits
sioner Davis said.
A. j. Ogaard Of Bozeman, secretary
of the Montana Pure Seed Growers
association; M. L. Wilson, farm econ
omist at the Montana state college,;
county agents and representatives of
the seed trade participated in the shap-
ing of plans for an inspection SER
vice that will provide protection un-
der the state department of agriculture
to those who want it in handling Mon
tana-grown alfalfa seed. The plan
provides for determination that seed
going into a carload was actually
grown within the state; the filing of
affidavits both from growers and
shipper as to the origin and identity
Of the seed; sealing the car; it's re-
inspection at terminal, and it's re-seal-
ing if it has been cleaned and re.
sacked, for the state of Montana by
agents of the inspection service of the
department of agriculture of the state
to which the shipment goes, under a
cooperative agreement that will be
worked out.
It is also planned to keep a record
Of all incoming and outgoing quantity
shipments of alfalfa seed on file in

which will aid in checking up on at
tempted substitutions.
