Interest Is Aroused
in Plans for First
Annual Corn Show


SPECIAL 10 Inc tribune.
Malta, Aug. 24.-November 9-10-11
are the dates set for the first annual
northern Montana corr and potato
show which is to be held at Malta,
and the general plans for the show
are now under way. That this will be
one of the largest shows of it's kind
in the state is evidenced by the in
terest being taken in it by county
agents. business men and farmers. and
this fact, together with the prospects
of a good corn and potato crop and
small grain. will bring northern Mon
tana in the front as a corn and potato
producing area.
Stimulation of interest in diversified
farming. considered the real key to
agricultural success. is the purpose of
the sh ow and it is believed that this
show will mark the first milestone in
the progress of northern Montana as
a permanent agricultural section.
The day of the one crop farming
system has apparently passed in this
section. Large fields of small grain are
steadily being replaced by the smaller
field with greater yields, by corn. rye
and sweet clover. which are leading
the way TO cattle and hogs and summer
titled land. Phillips county is interested
in the production of corn and potatoes
and large fields of both may be seen
on every hand throughout the entire
county.

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

Chicago, Aug. 24.-Wheat prices fluc-

The starting was weak, in sympathy
with lower quotations at Liverpool and
the break in foreign exchange, but
prices advanced sharply later on short
covering and some general buying in

At the finish, wheat was easier and
showed a net loss of % to rs cent with
September S1.O1% TO S1.01A and Sep
TENDER S1.02H to S1.O3. Corn varied
from n cent down to " cent up. Oats
were unchanged to Y cent higher.
Provisions ranged from 2h to 25 cents
advance.
exports of wheat from India, permits
sion being given by the Indian govern
ment to export sixteen million bushels,
was a primary factor in the selling
toward the finish in wheat. Reports
regarding the European export demand
were conflicting, with indications of
more business being done than gen
orally was admitted. Strength in corn,
however, was the dominating factor In
all grains.
A bull market was on in the defer

ing a strong undertone throughout.
despite the weakness In wheat. The
government detailed weekly report con-
firmed more or less damage in various
parts of the corn belt, especially IN
the southwest and Nebraska. This, with
continued hot and dry weather in
Kansas, was the main influence in
making the bulge.
Oats were dull and followed corn.
Provisions averaged higher because
