POTATOES UNDERGO
RIGID INSPECTION
FOR CERT|F|CAT|0N
Thirty-Five Acres Near Malta
Tested by Montana
State College.
Special to The Tribune.

Malta. July o6.-M. \. Oliphant of
Montana State college. spent several
days in Phillips county the last week
where in cooperation with the county
agents office seven fields of pota-
toes which are being grown under the
auspices of the Montana Potato I'm
provement association, were inspected
for purity Of variety and with regard
TO disease. The fields which were
inspected were as a rule up to the
standard set by the association both
as TO freedom from disease and purity
OF variety. Those owning the acre
ages are now culling out foreign varie-
ties and plants showing evidence of
disease.
Potatoes grown by these men are of
The Certified Melted Gems and Irish
Cobbler varieties that were shipped
into the county during the spring of
1921 by the farm bureau. One more
field inspection will be made late in
the coming month. principally for dis
ease. and the final bin inspection will
come after the potatoes are harvested.
Fields having q mixture of more than
! per cent OF other varieties and more
than l. per cent of diseased plants
at the time of first inspection are re-
jected and those that pass the first
inspection must not contain a mixture
of more than | per cent of other varie-
ties and s per cent of diseased plants
at the time for the second inspection.
Potatoes passing all three inspections
are certified by the association.
The following farmers in this
county are growing potatoes in CO.
operation with the association: Adolp
Lafond, Amos Kelly. Leo Geeting. NAL
ia; John Survant. and Howard Jones.
Wagner; aud Edgar Lee. Roy Lee and
Roy Burkhart, Dodson. A total of
30 acres of Irish Cobblers. Melted
Gems and Bliss Triumphs is being
grown by these men.
The potato crop in Phillips county
this year is in excellent condition and
potato growers generally are looking
forward to big yields. The Milk river
valley is giving every Indication of be-
coming one Of the most important
potato producing sections Of the state
and with success this year a large
acreage will be planted next year. Il
is probable that a large amount of
the certified seed produced in the val
ley will be used the coming year for
home consumption.

THE STATE FAIR

THE Montana State fair had a
l loss by fire on Sunday, which
was serious. Its largest building
was struck by lightning and went
I'D in smoke. The real value in
volved was not so much, but a
hindrance was put in the way of the
exposition for this year, which in
troduced difficulty. The commits
sioner of agriculture says that the
fair will go ahead just the same
So far as the crops are concerned,
Montana could gather the greatest
agricultural display of its history.
1t, therefore, would have been quite
unfortunate if this years exposi-
ton had been prevented. The
buildings that were burned were Of
small actual value. In fact they
were hardly worth anything, if new
and adequate structures could re-
place them.
We are inclined to think at this
time that some careful considera-
ton should be given to the future
Of the Montana State fair. The
time has come to make a plan and
carry it out. The state should can
vass the situation carefully. W.
think a little of the insurance mon
ey that comes out Of the present
fire might profitably be used in the
securing of an approximate esti-
mate for a permanent arrangement
Of the grounds and adequate build
ings. We should properly provide
for the fair or do away with it all
together. There are needed a gen.
eral exhibit building, a women's
and educational building and a
stock pavilion. These are essentials
that could not be built in one year.
but the state ought to develop a
definite policy or it should quit the
DuSiiiCSS. IL SilOu!u oCAioS oiiS way
or the other.
There is no state in the union
that can arrange a better fair in
normal business times. Our idea
has always been something along
this line: The State Agricultural
college is engaged in a study of all
of the farm problems of the COM
monwealth and the promotion of
agriculture in every possible way.
The extension service takes this
knowledge out to the farmer. The
state fair should be regarded really
as a part of our educational system
in agriculture. 1t should be made
an annual exposition of all that we
have found out and all that we have
accomplished.
So we should have a big state
fair with adequate buildings if we
have a fair at all.

IRRIGATION
PROJECT INTERESTS
COAST CAPITALISTS
Red Lodge District Nearly
Ready to Take Bids
on Bonds.

Helena, July 26.-(By The Associ-
ated Press.)-That a demand for Mon
lana irrigation district securities exists
has been manifested by inquiries re-
ceived by the state irrigation commits
sion from bond buyers of the east and
of the Pacific coast regarding the Red
Lodge project. the first irrigation dis
trict to be developed under the new
law passed by the last session of the
legislature to the point of sale of bonds
and actual construction.
The Red Lodge project has been
given approval by the irrigation COM
mission and order of confirmation is
expected from the district court of Car
will be the last step necessary before
bids can be asked on the 100000 bonds
which the district will issue.
The project. northwest of Red Lodge
in Carbon county. will bring water 20
miles from the East Rosebud river to
water 10000 acres. An old ditch, ap-
proximately II miles long, has been
taken over by the district. which will,
1t is estimated by the engineers of the
commission, save 100000 Of construc-
ton.
The system will deliver one and one
half acre feet of water net. after al
lowance for leakage and wastage. The
area included in the district is 10000
acres. but only half that will be low
enough to receive water by gravity
flow.
Representatives of two bond buying
houses have already visited the pro-
posed district and letters have been
received by the state commission from
a number of others.

CONSERVATION NOT
ENOUGH

FEDERAL forces are being mob
ilized to meet the crisis of a
fuel shortage in the nation through
regulated distribution. VIZ have to
keep in mind, however, that all
agencies of this kind will not ade-
quately meet the issue. We are up
to the point now where industries
of one kind and another must close
down. 1t doesn't make SO much
difference whether they are within
the class of what are called essen
tials or not. The fact remains that
there will be serious s~tagnation in
general business right away.
The people of the United States
are getting pretty tired of meeting
one crisis after another and fight
ing for existence. More and more
the sentiment is rising mountain
high, that there is much in our sys-
tenn radically wrong. when two or
three or four per cent of a popula-
ton can stop the comfort and even
the livelihood of everybody else.
This is unbeatable and it is not
only the business men who enter
tain such opinions. Many laboring
men think the same way. The con.
viction is surely getting into the
hearts of the people that where
human existence is at stake o,
where public or other general prop.
erty is being destroyed, the causes
of such conditions must give way
Conservation and direction car
but poorly obviate the trouble OF
today. We will find this out to the
great sorrow Of the whole nation
if coal is not mined and crops are
not moved in a reasonable way.
The railroads say they cannot
move the wheat of Montana unless
they are allowed time to prepare
the cars right away. Theb are tell

Williston. \. D.. July o6.-Repre-

county potato growers have been in
Texas looking for a market for this

probable that their trip will result in
a profitable market for the entire sur

The crop gives promise Of being by far
the largest ever raised here, the yield
being above the average and the acre
