RANKIN BEGINS
fight FOR SENATE
Pledges Himself to Represent Mon
tana Interests in a Vigorous
Manner.

Wellington D. Rankin, candidate
for United States senator on the Re-
publican ticket, is beginning a fight
ing campaign. Convinced that Mon
tana voters are anxious to get a man
in the high legislative body who will
represent them so as to further their
interests and the country at large,
Mr.. Rankin is telling the people what
he stands for and what he will do if
elected.
Rankin will fight the discrimina-
ton on goods shipped from Montana.
He pledges himself to help secure
active legislation to regulate the
packers trust, which is crucifying
one of the states chief industries.
He will use every effort to see that
grazing fees on our forest reserves
be restored to the charges stipulated
in the original bill.
He stands for a protective tariff
IN wool and other Montana products;
believes in the farm bloc as an eff
fective means of -counteracting Wall
street.
AS a member of the American Lee
gion, he will work for an adjusted
compensation. His education and
training fit him to work effectively
in the senate, and his ability and ag
in the senate, and his ability and ag-
representative OF Montana people.

SHIP SUBSIDY.

The idea of a subsidy as a means
of building up a merchant marine Or
ether national in vest is by no means
rev. 1t is a recourse to which Great
Britain has had to resort for many,
many years. Tkose numerous people
who haze found delight in reading
the diary of Samuel Pepys will per
haps remember having read in one of
his entries in November, 1852, the
following:
"Here we were, all the officers of
the navy, and my Lord Sandwich, VINO
did discourse with us about the fish
cry, telling as His Majesty's resolu-
ton to give $500 to every man that
will set out a busse, and advising
about the effects Of this encourage
ment, which viii be of great matter,
certainly"
The 'busse'' referred to-was a fish
ing vessel such as was IN use by the
HolIanders who had and maintained
supremacy over British fishermen.
The arguments used in behalf Of the
subsidy for the encouragement Cd
British fisheries were numerous bat
practically the same rs ere applied
today. Britain wanted to have fish

yards, thus furnishing employment to
British labor. She wanted British
fishermen to earn the profits to be
had from pursuit of the fishing in
dustry, which profits would be spent
in Great Britain instead of Holland.
But, as indicated by the fact that the
navy was taking the lead IN offering
this subsidy, Great Britain desired a
large number of her citizens trained
in seamanship, upon whom size could
call for service in case Of the emery
ency of war. Two hundred pounds
sterling, 260 years ago, meant far
more than it does today. 1t was
deemed a sufficient sum to place the
British fisherman upon an equality
with his Holland competitor, so that
there would be reasonable prospect
of the development of a British fish
ing industry. His majesty deemed
the investment a good one for his
government, not only from the stand
point of commerce, but also in the
strengthening of the naval resources

FAIR FOR CHIEF JUSTICE.

Terry Tribune, Aug. A: Hon. George
". Farr, at present associate justice
CO the state supreme court, has filed
his declaration of intention as a can
didate on the Republican ticket for
chief justice, a position held for the
past "a years by Hon. Theodore Brant-
ley, and who has Just declined to run
again, upl5n the a'lvice of physicians.
The retirement of Mr.. Brantley is
genuinely regretted by the people of
the whole state, regardless of politics,
and the candidacy of Mr.. FAIR for the
position is the result of the urging Of
his numerous friends throughout the
state.
Especially to the eastern M~ontanan
is this candidacy appealing, for few
men are better known, or possess
greater knowledge Of the law than Mr..
Farr, which in addition to his long
residence at Miles City makes him the
choice of this end of the state. The
position he seeks is one of great honor
and responsibility, and We know Of
no man more thoroughly fitted in ev-
cry respect than he, and we believe
eastern Montana will be delighted to
give him its support.
We have known Mr.. Farr v e since
coming to Montana in 1909, and have
found him to be clean-cut and straight
in all of his dealings, both in law and
his daily life. By sheer ability he

plants. OF course, when the plants
are crowded the resultant growth OF
each is smaller than If given plenty
of room. Consequently it is impos-
sible to develop such a deep root
system, with the result that more
damage can be done if such a field
is not irrigated Immediately when 1t
needs water. 1t may, therefore, be
said that the greatest possibilities
lie in fields with extremely close
spacing, but that plants which have
more room are less likely TO ex
treme damage when enviromental
conditions are not good Thinning
Of Arizona Egyptian cotton should
be done late, say when the plants
are a foot or so high. There is no
good reason why it should be done
early, and late thinning is an i'm
portant factor in the suppression Of
vegetative branches.

OF some Of the main points of Ari-

ber at all times that 1t is the proper

soil TO keep the plants from drying
out before the fruit is mature.
This article brazenly attempts to
detail the main points about sue
cessful Arizona Egyptian cotton
growing in a few words, thing
manifestly impossible. 1t is only to
be hoped that some Of the sugges-
tions offered may be of value in in
teresting the grower to seek fur
ther information and experience on
the points mentioned. The subject
of irrigation has hardly been touched
and much space has been consumed
already but the article should not
be closed without a word concern
ing spacing and the growth Of veg
etable branches.
Lower Buds Form Suckers
The lower seven or eight buds of
the main stem of the plant, If they
develop at all, will form vegetative
branches, or suckers. These are dis
tinct from fruiting branches in that
they do not bear fruit, but bear
fruiting branches, which in their
turn carry the bolls. If they bear
fruit then they must be valuable.
Far from it, for they are usually the
biggest nuisance in the cotton field.

which during the latter part of the
season so far prevents air drainage
around the lower parts of the plants
as to cause molding of the lower
bolls. Furthermore, instead Of real
ly growing out as part of the
plant, they are more nearly just
stuck on and are easily broken off
by winds or cultivating tools. If
that is insufficient to condemn them
they must generally plead guilty of
being very late with the develop
ment of their fruit.
Since the fruit OF vegetative
branches is so late, why not grow
vet more and earlier fruit on more
plants per acre? This question has

P I'M A GROWING
REQUIRES DEEP
STUDY AND CARE
IN CULTIVATION
BY H. c. Heard,
County Agricultural Agent

The question often comes, How 90
they grow that Arizona Egyptian cot
ton?" But little does the questioner
realize, be he editor or prospective
cotton grower, what a difficult task
the answer presents. The methods
are various and, regardless of how
differently from the acknowledged
best practice the grower handles his
crop, his methods might result in
a good yield provided his tillage ana
irrigation practice has been general
ly good. There are, however, GER
tain principles to follow, which. in
the absence OF bad luck, insure the
best yields one might reasonably op-
tain under his individual conditions.
Arizona Egyptian cotton produces
quite good yields when handled most
any way with reasonably good farm
ing, yet 1t remains the crop demand
ing the most exact handling, the most
experience, the most careful study,
and sometimes the best pure, old
fashioned good luck OF almost any
crop which might be mentioned that
is commonly grown in the southwest
provided the grower is to be fairly
certain of the large yield which II
brings in profits.
It must not be forgotten that 1t Is
the second half of a bale per acre
which brings in the deep, rich, dawny
velvet SO much sought after among
men. 1t must be remembered also
that the crop under consideration is
Arizona Egyptian cotton and neither
Just cotton nor upland cotton, wheth-
er short or long staple.
In the short part Of this article that
is to follow this lengthy preamble it
is not intended to deal with cotton
growing methods in general, but 1t is
hoped, rather, that the grower of up
land cotton may select such ideas as
may fit his case, in order that he too
may come in on more of this velvet"
to which reference has been made.
Proper Balance Essential
One of the first things learned about
Arizona Egyptian cotton was that 1t is
neither Egyptian cotton in Egypt nor
is it upland cotton in the southwest
1t was soon found out that there was
little known about the production OF
Arizona Egyptian cotton. Hence al
most all conceivable methods were
tried out, with the result thatsit was
learned that growing a bumper crop
Of Arizona Egyptian cotton depend
ed not only upon proper irrigation OF
right time, but that it depended upon
the proper balance of all these fac
tors and many more additional.
Good seed, rightly planted in Q
good seed bed, is crop half made
is no less true Of Arizona Egyptian
cotton than OF any other crop. This
means three things: Good deep plow-
ing, proper leveling for irrigation and
a whole lot of moisture stored in the
soil. It is a mistaken idea to ploW
cotton land shallow in practically ev-
cry case, whether the land Is coarse
or fine. The. best crops which have

tendency is naturally to form pere-
NAL, more or less tree like growth,
while the environment which 1t has
been given forbids this habit There
fore all means not too severe should
be used to prevent rank growth
and to encourage early fruiting, and
1t is more of a problem to prevent
too much growth than to encourage
enough.
The exact time when the first irri-
cation after planting should be given
is more of problem to prevent too
much growth than to encourage
enough.

healthy and in good condition there
is still no need of irrigation, even
though little growth is the result.
Water is withheld if possible until
the plant is showing good deal OF
fruiting, after which the irrigation
practice changes and the plants are
applied with enough moisture that
they are always thrifty. though not
vigorous.
The reason for this seeming
stinginess of water is apparent when
one considers that Arizona Egyp-
tian cotton is a crop which has
been adapted to a shorter growing
season than it's type calls for. It's

cox BREAKS SILENCE WITH
ATTACK ON REPUBLICANS
Declares Distress in America
Is Due to Treachery of
Lodgeism-StiII Stands for
League

DAYTON, Ohio, Jan. 26.-Break-
ing his silence of more than year,
James M. Cox, Democratic candidate
for president in 1920, at Jackson
day banquet here last night took to
task the Washington administration
both on it's domestic and foreign pol
icies. In, this criticism, he was aid
ed by United States Senators Pome-
rene, Of Ohio, and Harrison, of Mis-
sissippi, and Mrs. Margaret Fuller,
of Pittsburg.
Criticising the economic policy of
President Harding's administration,
Mr.. Cox asserted attempt is being
made to bring better times "by re-
sort to the noisy methods of a cir
GUS" Attributing the distress in
Russia to sovietism, the former Dem
ocratic standard-bearer said the dis
tress in America is due to the treach-
cry of Lodgeism.
Speaking of the Washington arma-
ment conference and particularly the
four-power Pacific agreement, Mr..
Cox asserted that prudence might
suggest that judgment be reserved
until we know what the treaty means
and the extent of Mr.. Lodges Sc
cret understandings" He declared
that Senator Lodge had declared that
the real meaning was in the unwrit-
ten word"
Governor Cox made it plain that
he stands today on the League of
Nations as he stood during the 1920
campaign, declaring 1--WE stand in
our very tracks, just where we were
when the votes were counted. We
have not retreated step. The flag
still flies and we are ready for the
next fight"
Speaker Cheered
In Memorial hall, where more than
800 were served and where crowd
ed galleries listened, the former pres
idential candidates words were
cheered time and again. A wild
shout was unleashed when he declar-
ed that the Republicans already have
reelected Senator Pomerene 'by Gre
ating the disgraceful Newberry cpl
sode in the United States senate"
While both United States senators
took whirl at condemning the Dem
ocratic policies of the administration
Mr.. Pomerene devoted considerable
time to condemnation Of the action
of the senate in seating Senator New
berry, of Michigan, characterizing
the senate's action as a tragedy
against political morals" The sena-
tor asked if ''ever public body so
discredited itself in the eyes Of the
American people"
The Mississippi senator discussed
the tariff situation, asserting that
the Republicans had been trying for
three years to enact a tariff law, but
sup to this hour it serenely sleeps
