SEASON WHEAT
Will GRADE UP
TO 1921 MARK
Smut Less Damaging Though
Occurs in About Same
Percentage of Crop.

least as high as that Of last year. ac-
cording to G. III. Moran, state grain
inspector, with offices in the Ford
building.
The smut is less in this years
wheat than in that of last season,
Moran said, although the smut area is
probably as large as in the previous
year, it has not proved as damaging.
and the wheat in few of the smut dis
tficts even will grade as low as last
year. Moran explained that the smut
responds readily to weather conditions,
and this year, although with more
rains than last year. had these at
times when it was less conducive to
smut. Cold winters are also valuable
in reducing the smut damage, seeming
to kill the germ out somewhat. In an
open winter, the smut gets an early
growth. The cold winter was given
credit by him for largely controlling
the smut.
While wheat this year will not test
as high in gluten as that of last year:
the gluten is of high quality, he said.
Much Mixed Spring Wheat
Spring wheat will also test well this
year, he said, although it is more than
usually winter mixed. This is due
sometimes to reseeding when the win
! ter crop has been winter killed n due
to other sources. When winter wheat
drops below spring, this will result in
some dockage on winter mixed spring,
he said.

lack of cars and partly to he late
threshing, the season being much later
this year thar last.
shipment of spring grain has only
started during the last few days.
Shipping East and West
Grain movement so far this season
has been quite evenly divided between
that to the west coast and that to
Minneapolis, according to Moran. The
shipping is determined largely by the
individual market, but Minneapolis has
been a determined bidder for the Mon
tana wheat. This is due to the fact
that the Dakota wheats have been low
in glutens and the higher grade Mon
tana wheat has been in great demand
to grade this up for the millers. 1t is
also due to the attempt on the part of
the Minneapolis traders to keep the
grain moving toward the Minneapolis
market. The coast, on the other hand,
has been a good buyer of Montana
wheat, due to smaller crops in the
northwest coast states.
While figures of grain shipments of
communities have not been compiled, it
is reported that Fife has shipped some
so cars of wheat this season, that
community having had little difficulty
in getting whatever cars were needed.
The 80 cars represent about 4S0,O 900
bushels of wheat.

PARENTS URGED
ABOUT HEALTH
OF CHILDREN
Campaign Against Disease
Spread Is Inaugurated in
City by DR.. FusOn.

With the opening of the schools,
parents should take stock of the phys
ical condition of their children. is the
contention of DR.. q. A. Fuson, city and
county health officer, who is inaugur-
ating a campaign against the spread of
communicable diseases.
The first step in preventing cOnta-
gian is for every family where illness
that can be identified exists to practice
the Golden Rule, DIR. Fuson says. If
every family would cooperate with the
health department in reporting all cases
of illness and if guarantees were strict
ly observed in instances where it is
necessary TO impose them, epidemlcs
and other diseases less virulent would
become practically negligible, the doc
tor believes.
THE only way in which the health
department can control disease is to
know of all places where it exists"
said DIR. Fuson, adding that all efforts
of himself and his staff were of no
avail without public cooperation. A
quarantine, he said, should be regarded
as a service TO the community rather
than as a penalty that is imposed for
punishment.
The fact that children are more fire.
q~uently exposed to disease during school
hours than at other times makes it
essential that careful parents should
keep their children under strict super
vision, DIR. Fuson declared. Fresh air.
proper diet, roper health habits and
examination by a physician if there are
any signs of illness are all instruments
for preserving public health and pre-
venting disease. the doctor concluded.

John A. Mckenzie to defend him, and

After Ralph had asked that his plea
be changed to guilty, Assistant Dis
trict Attorney w. H. Meigs outlined
the assault and firing of an automatic
revolver at Dan Corcoran, prohibition
agent. by Ralph. The statement didn't
suit Ralph and he proceeded to tell
the judge just how it happened. He
told how he and his partner, Harry
Volta, arrived at the ferry in their car.
He said that he saw an elevator nan
of that place with Corcoran and knew
that the elevator nan wasn't an officer.
He alleged that he didn't know that
Corcoran was an officer, that he saw
him placing handouts on his partner
and that he, Ralph, came upon the
group with his automatic at his hip
and pointed at Corcoran's stomach.
Then, he said, Corcoran fired, and
he (Ralph) lust squeezed that auto
matte, and you know, Judge, what hap
il goes off" Then it was that be
ended his plea with land that's all
there was to it, Judge"
Ralph was brought to Great Falls

Chairman Mike Holland of the local
strike committee of shop crafts had no
comment to make on the fire except to
state that the men who are out on
strike had all been ordered by the com
mittee to stay away from the yards
ever since the strike started, and he
was of the opinion that this edict had
been complied with.

1t is common knowledge that the city
