LARGE LIST POLL TAXES
UNPAID IN COUNTY

The records of County Trustee J.
"A. Peeler reveal that an alarming
number of Democratic men and wo-
men in this county subject to poll
tax have failed to qualify as voters in
the general election to be held in Mo-
yember The matter becomes doubly
important in view of the short time
remaining, as all poll taxes must be
paid by September 6, or the votes will
be lost in November.
Sue S. White, a prominent Ten
nessee woman, in her address recently
made before the National Democratic
Club in Washington, D. c., very
forcefully explained the serious sit
uation in this state. We make the
following extract from her speech:
Il have had it on good authority
that in the middle and western sec
tons of my state there are $4,000
Democratic women who haven't yet
paid their roll tax. If these women
do not vote in November it will mean
the defeat Of Cordell Hull, our nat
ional chairman, and the defeat of the
entire Democratic ticket in Tennessee.
1t will mean that while Tennessee is
still Democratic by a large majority,
with every reason to be so this year,
the Republicans will gain control be-
cause the Democratic women will not
stand up and be counted. And, re-
member, please, that they can't stand
up without a poll tax receipt, and in
nine cases out Of ten the husband
still controls the family purse.
What would say to the rank and
file of Democratic men on the woman
question is simply this Get your
own heart right and loosen your grip
on the two dollars for your wife's
poll tax.
Now, as to our national leaders,
it is to the credit of Mr. Huh that he
has gone more than half way in AM
effort to meet the situation He has
not withheld the assurance to women
of a fifty-fifty basis of participation
in party affairs until they have mar
shalled a fifty-fifty voting strength.
Will he be as a voice crying in the
ahead Of his party, ahead
of his time, ahead even Of the women
OF his day
Il have not talked to you of issues.
There is a good crop Of them ripen-
ing on the hill and out in the field.
Whatever those issues may be. the
party can not survive without the
support Of the women in Democratic
families. That is the one fact you
must see, admit and deal with, and | j
believe you will find that l have
placed my finger upon the weak spot
the indifference of the heads of
those Democratic families"

Man Hangs Himself by
Strength of Imagination

London. DR., Henry King
testified at a coroner's jury that
Alfred Manning, a respondent
man. planned to take his own
life BY hanging, and tied a
handkerchief around his neck,
but not tight enough to cause
strangulation. The physician
said that death was due to the
fact that Manning had con-
vIneed himself thai he was
hanging himself. Through

ATTRACTIVE BOOKLET
PUT OUT BY The G. N.

The opportunities offered settlers
on irrigated lands in Montana are
interestingly and attractively set
forth in a folder issued by the agri-
cultural development department of
the Great Northern Railway Com
pany. The folder is entitled "Irri-
cation Projects in Montana Along
the Great Northern Railway" is pro-
fusely illustrated, and contains just
the information desired by those who
are interested in farming by irriga-
ton. Two maps accompany the
folder, one general, showing the G..
N. system, and the other a map of
Montana showing the lands describ-
ed.
The person who is not we'll ac-
qualnted with Montana will be sur
prised at the extent Of the irrigated
land tributary to the Great Northern.
IN Montana, comprised in United
States Reclamation Projects, in Carey
act projects and private corporations.
The first named consists of the Milk
River Project, about 100 miles in
length, extending from Nashua, in
Valley county, to Havre, in Hill
county, for which water is available
for $4,000 acres; the lower Yellow
IN Dawson and Richland coun-
ties, with water available for $4,000
acres; the Sun River, in Cascade,
.hoteau and Teton counties, with
water available for 10000 acres. In
there are two Indian reser-
projects, the Fort Peck and
he ~Blackfeet. On the former water
5 supplied to $4,000 acres and on
he latter to $4,000.
The Waller project, in Pondera
has an irrigated area of 49,
100 acres, this being a Carey land
lct project. In addition there are a
of smaller projects co-opera-
lively or privately owned. In round
numbers there are 100000 acres of
irrigated land along the line of the
treat Northern in Montana and of
his amount in 1921 only about 100,-
100 acres, or one-third, was in crop.

1t is to acquaint settlers with this
fact the folder has been issued, and
also to give information as to the
crops that have been and can be rails
ed, the markets and transportation
facilities. There are brief state
ments from farmers on the projects,
and information is given as to
schools, churches and towns to which
the lands are tributary. Copies can

be summer fallowed, it would be ad-
visable to seed late in the summer
some crop that will make a growth
that would protect the spring crop,
but not interfere with drilling in the
seed. Oats o. barley are suitable
for such purposes.
Spread Straw
Where spring blowing is done early
and the soil contains sufficient mois-
ture, the surface should be cloddy
enough to prevent blowing, and it
should not be worked down fine I'M
der any circumstances. After the
crop is seeded, if the soil begins to
blow, the damage may be lessened
by spreading straw. We have seer
this practiced in many places. The
straw is spread at a time when the
wind is not blowing to any extent,
and then run over with some such
implement as the Campbell packer,
or disc, set straight, to bed a part
of the straw into the soil. A straw
.spreader does a much better job
than can be done by hand. If the
straw is simply spread on loose, the
wind may drift it into piles that hold
the soil and make it difficult to har-
vest the crop.
Plow Burrows
Drifting may also be prevented by
light burrows diagonally to
the course of the wind. These
not be over a rod or so apart,
depending upon the extent of drift
.ng. We have seen fields seeded,
and these burrows put in immediate
y, with the expectation that the soil
vas going to blow. These burrows
will catch the particles of soil as they
lrift over the surface, and prevent
heir continuing and breaking loose
,ther particles.
Pasture the Blow Soils
Unquestionably soils that have a
endency to blow should not be reg
.larly cropped. They should be put
nto pasture and utilized that way,
nd it is probable that they will re-
urn as much or more profit, par
icularly if good stock are kept On
nem. 1t is frequently difficult to
ct much land seeded. Late plowIng
nd seeding, after the blow season
past, is advisable. Early spring
seding in stubble is usually success
IL Unscarified sweet clover seed
lay be successfully seeded in stub
lie, late in the fall, just before the
'eezing, so that the seed will not
erminate until spring.
Sweet Clover
Keep your own soil at home and
itch some of your neighbours. This
IN be done by seeding sweet clover
l such soils. There is no crop more
ardy and easier started. 1t would .
