A HAIL WARRANTS.

The supreme court having validated the sale
of state hail warrants under a contract entered into
some time ago with outside buyers, the industrial
commission will proceed at once to dispose of these
warrants in such quantities as will yield the sums
necessary for the state to meet it's obligations ON
account of hail losses.
The facts in the case have been painfully well
understood by farmers who have suffered hail loss
es and who have sought to recover. When they
undertook to dispose of the warrants which they
had received they found that the state was not in a
position to pay, and that if they sold the warrants
to private individuals they would be obliged to
stand discounts running all the way from 10 to 20
per cent. The man whose crop is destroyed by hail
is a loser In any case. If to his actual hail loss there
is added a further loss Of upward of 10 per cent in
discount, he is made to suffer doubly just when he
needs all the assistance he can get.
The success of the present administration in
arranging for the disposal of the warrants practical
ly at par is due first to the earnest ard honest effort
put forth to serve the people Of the state in an i'm
mediate and practical way, and second to renewed
confidence in the state created by the decision of the
people to GUST officials who had used the state gov
eminent merely for the purpose of promoting po-
litical schemes, the installation of an administration
committed to a sane and constructive policy.
This action of the administration will save the
farmers of the state something like a quarter of a
million dollars in discounts, a saving which is sure
ly worth while, and which will have its influence in
lettering business conditions.

CLEANING UP THE MOVIES.

lhefe is doubtless much truth in the statement
made by persons prominently identified with the
the moving picture industry that in view of recent
occurrences affecting members Of that craft there is
: tendency to accept idle and unfounded rumors
detrimental to the reputation of the profession as
fact, and thus to discredit many worthy people be-
cause of the bad conduct of a. few.
This tendency is natural, and probably unavoid-
Isble. It is to be regretted. Nevertheless, it is
quite apparent that a vigorous housekeeping is
needed in the movies if the whole business is not to

DocroR1NG THE CALENDAR.

"A resolution has been introduced in congress
providing for the calling of a national conference of
scientists and others fitted to deal with the subject
tor the purpose of reforming the calendar. It is pro-
posed that an entirely new system be adopted, the
year being divided into thirteen months instead of
twelve, the months being of the uniform length of
% days. The one additional day is to be the first day
of the year, to be known only as New Years day,
and in leap years a similar extra day is to be inserted
between the mouths of June and July.
One advantage claimed for the plan is that I'M
der it the days of the week and of the month will al
ways coincide, the first of every month falling on
Monday, thus obviating an immense lot of calcutta
ton and confusion.
Our present calendar is undoubtedly a clumsy
thing, and scores of suggestions have been made for
its simplifcation. 1t is easy enough to devise a plan
which will avoid some of the complications of the
present system, but in doing so we run into others.
Opposed to any change which may be proposed will
be the enormous inertia of a sentiment naturally op-
posed to the changing of fixed habits, and Of the
quite general feeling that there is. some sancity
about our present calendar as a measure of time.
There is no probability that this plan will be
adopted. Neither is there any prospect that any
change A%yhatever will be effected, now or hereafter.

agreement.

FARM BUREAU
LEAGUES With
GRAIN GROWERS

Chicago, June 19.-Co-operation
Farm bureau and the officers of the
United States Grain Growers, Inc,
was announced Monday as the latest
detail of the grain growers selling
plan, under which the organization
will attempt to acquire seats on the
Chicago and Minneapolis grain ex-
changes and will also make sales con-
tracts direct with consumers.
Sales offices to handle grain thro-
ugh the exchanges will be only part
of the selling plan, C. HI. Gustafson,
president of the grain growers, said.
Financing arrangements for a mil
lion dollars or more, or to cover the
grain movements, whether the grain
is handled through the sales company
with grain exchange membership or
sold direct to consumers, have been
made, Mr.. Gustafson said.
These arrangements include nego-
tiations for $4,000 from B. F. Hales
of Chicago, as announced by the AS
ISOLATED Press last week.
The cooperation of the farm bu-
reau committee was looked upon as
ironing out some difficulties between
the grain growers and the American
Farm bureau federation, which faith
cred the younger organization. The
committee is composed of E. F. Cum
ningham, secretary of the Iowa Farm
Bureau federation; w. S. Hill, presi-
dent of the South Dakota federation;
and J. w. Coverdale, president of the
American Farm Bureau federation.
Conferences between the commit
tee and the grain growers officers are
now in progress to enable the latter
to begin handling grain at an early
date.
Charles E. Gunnels has been elect
ed treasurer of the grain body, it was
announced Monday. He is also treas
urer of the American Farm Bureau
federation.

DOUBLE TREATMENT IS BEST
Serum May Be Satisfactory for Short
Fattening Period-lmmunity
Is Not Permanent.

The serum treatment alone will not
bring permanent immunity from hog
cholera. 1t may be satisfactory for a
short fattening period. But for the
farm herd it is necessary to give the
double treatment which consists of
the virus and the serum. 1t it general
Iy understood that a hog that has once
recovered from a case of cholera is
permanently immune. This immunity
is the result of the formation in the
body of the animal of ~anti-bodies
which are ~antagonistic to the disease
germs. For hogs that have been ex-
posed to the disease or that may take
it, it is necessary to use the virus
which gives the animal the disease in
a slight form. The serum which is
then injected combats the disease
germs and assists the body in resist
ance.

MANY new MEMBERS
FOR TILLACE CLUBS

Billings.-The drive for members
for Montana's summer tillage clubs,
who pledge to cultivate a certain
acreage according to the most APP
proved summer tillage principles,
closed this week with a special con-
test and a $50 cash prize, won by the
Rapelje club, 35 mise northwest of
Billings and the success of the state
movement surpasses the fondest hopes
Of its promoters.
The prize was offered to the club
securing the largest number of mem
bers for the weeks work. Raplje
won first place with 1873 new mem
bers, Fort Benton second place with
SO new members the man ran the
90 new members, Poplar third place
with 90, Geraldine fourth place with
90, Clifford fifth place with IS, La
vina sixth with 10, and Big Sandy
seventh place with 72 new members.
The total acreage secured was 63,
259 acres. The total number of
members secured by all the Compel
ing clubs was 929. This makes a
grand total for the state of 4,055
members and 1851 acres.
The prize for which the members
of these clubs will compete in the
harvest of 1921 are gased on a meas
ured 20 acres of land and will be
given to the largest yields, secured
under rules specified by the develop
ment association and the local sum-
mer tillage clubs.
If the land enrolled in the con-
test were divided up into square 20
acre tracts, they would make a strip
of land approximately 1000 miles in
length and with just average condi-
tons another year, the land to be
summer titled this season in compe-
tition for the prizes alone, will pro-
duce approximately as much wheat
as the whole state of Montana pro-
duced in 1921.
The Fort Benton club, with B. H.
Kreis as secretary, tops all the clubs
in the state with 10, 1872 acres. Hob
son, with Robert Merrill as secre-
tary, is second with 1858 acres,
and Rapelje, with W. J. Soderlins as
secretary, is third with 1892 acres.

HIGHEST PRICES FOR SWINE
Especially Advantageous to Southern
Farmer to Study Use of Well
Balanced Hog Ration.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Information secured by the bureau
Of markets, United States Department
of Agriculture, indicates that southern
hogs will command prices as high as
those paid for hogs from the corn
belt if they are properly fed and
handled. Nearly 5000 hogs from a
single owner in Mississippi have been
received at the National stock yards,
Illinois, within the past few months
and all were firm, finished porkers,
which sold we'll in line with the best
that came from other sections of the
country. A representative of the bu-
reau of markets made some inquiries
were fed. He discovered that the
same owner has feeding pens in Iowa
as well as in Mississippi, and that
he bought his young pigs and fed
them a mixed grain ration in connec-
ton with corr and tankage. All the
animals showed intensive feeding n
weighed 250 pounds or yer when they
arrived at the market.
1t would be especially advantage
Gus to the southern farmer to study
the use of the weh-balanced grain ra-
lions and the complementary adapta-
ton of peanuts and velvet beans,
which can be grown so abundantly in
that section.
Twelve carloads Of hogs were re
ceived from a single Tennessee owner
at the same stockyards. These ami
mails were of a distinctly southern type,
says the bureau of markets repre-
