acetate of lime. At present, the ace

greater part of commercial acetic acid
is made, is obtained by distilling wood

and linoleum, and in every line of
work where wood flour is now used
1t will be used also as filler for
many kinds of paper
That the new corn cob industry
may prove to be an important one is
apparent as lit is pointed out by the
| Department of Agriculture that the
United States produces from $780,
100000 to 5000, 100000 bushels of
corn every year, which means from
| 100000 to 20,000,000 tons of cobs
Not all the cobs are available for
manufacturing purposes, of course,
! for large percentage is scattered
over the farms of the country or fed
with the corn. Large quantities, how
| ever, are concentrated at central
| points and are easily available.
The plant which is now being pro-
| iected will operate on a basis of 100
tons day. Three shelters will supply
] $4,000 tons of cobs a year. Such a
plant, it is estimated, would recover
about a ton and a half of furfural a
day as by-product, and a considera-
bly, larger quantity can be obtained
from the cob adhesive by q compar.
atively simple process. This adhesive
as has been stated, is produced in
the first grade in quantities equal to
As per cent of the weight of the cobs
The method of producing the furfu
,ral is anything but complicated. Tho
corn cobs, with some water, are placed
in cylinder or pressure cooker and
steam at about 1875 pounds pressure il
turned in. After cooking about two
| hours the furfural comes out of the
cobs and is blown off with steam
passed through a condenser and col
lected as a solution of furfural in wa
j ter. This solution is then distilled
in a special apparatus for the sepa
ration of the furfural from the water
= Coincident with this new discover!
the Department of Agriculture states
that the yield of corn per acre in this
country could be doubled within a few
years, and this could be accomplished
without additional work or expense
1t is not to be understood that it is de
sirable to double the present corn
crop, but that it is desirable to pro
duce enough to meet all requirements
on a smaller number of acres and
with less labor If so bushels are
raised on one acre instead of on two
the labor of blowing, narrowing. plant
ing, cultivating and harvesting il
greatly reduced.
Corn suggests hogs and the devel
; opment of by-products recalls the say
ing that in modern packing establish
ments the only thing about the pig
that is not saved and utilized is hi;
squeal. One of these days Govern
ment specialists may tackle tha
problem and solve it.

LATEST ALFALFA PEST is A
NEW ONE ON BUG EXPERTS

No sooner does science discover
something that will serve to eradicate
dangers to crops, than some other
product supposed to be free from in
sect attack, bobs up as being in dan
ger of being destroyed.
Weevils in cotton, bugs on pota-
toes, cut-worms in cabbage and a
number of other enemies of food
products have attracted the attention
of scientists who have devised ways
and means to eradicate these pests.
Now it is reported that small
insect has been reported found in al
falfa fields. In the territory sur
rounding Park City, Mont, these in
sects have attacked alfalfa in large
numbers and are doing great damage
to the crop.
Samples of the affected alfalfa
have been sent to the department of
entomology.

Now is the time to protect the for
ests of Montana from destruction by
fire. The hot weather ushers in the
season of danger and ruin for Mon
tana's timber. Campers should never
forget for a moment the danger OF
forest fires at this time of the year.
All summer long they should be- on
their guard whenever they go into
the woods. Tourists by auto or ira
velers through the forest or mere day
visitors to the woods are all more
numerous in summer than at any
other time.
Cigarette butts, matches lighted
and carelessly thrown down in the
dry grass or brush, camp fires left
in ashes but with live Goals that may
be famed into flame, Goals from
pipes are all sources of fires In
the past millions and millions of dol
lars worth of splendid timber has
been destroyed by these causes of
fire.
Everybody in Montana should con-
stitute himself a self-appointed fire
guard for the national forests and
the state forests in Montana, and
do his or her part to cut down the
obstruction of the timber. The for
estry officials are taking every pos
sible precaution to protect the tim
Der of the state during the fire sea-
son, but they need the solid support
of all the people of the state.
The way to keep the timber safe is
for everybody to protect it. One care
less, reckless or INSCRIPTIONS person
in the woods may set a fire that will
burn over many acres of valuable
timber, and destroy the natural
wealth that it takes lifetime to pro-
duce. Up to this time the forest fires
in this and neighboring states have
not been large, and the forestry Of
ficials of the west are doing their
utmost to keep the loss down to a |
minimum this year.
The people of Montana should do
everything in their power to assist |
in this good work, for these natural
are an invaluable asset for
everybody in the state.

TAKES WILD RIDE
in OLD AUTO TIRE
VENTURSOME YOUTH MAKES A
NOISE LIKE A HOOP AND
ROLLS INTO POND

What began as bit of boyish fun
developed into a near-tragedy and
ended as comedy when a small
Butte lad took wild ride down a
steep hill in an old automobile tire.
The chief actor, however, did not see
any fun in the climax.
Boys in and around Butte have
always taken kindly to abandoned
automobile tires. Rolling them down
hill is the most common form of
amusement.
One little fellow conceived an idea
IA real circus idea-for a novel
stunt with big tire which came into
possession of himself and other boys.
1t was big stiff tire, one of the
kind used on the rear wheels of heavy
trucks. He got inside the tire. braced
his head and shoulders and feet up
against the inner sides, and gave the
word:
Turn 'er loose"
They turned her loose.
Starting off gently at first, amid
the cheers of his companions, it was
very exhilarating, this first head up
then head down. Then the speed be-
came accelerated, and soon it was
impossible to distinguish rubber
tire from. small boy, so rapid were
the revolutions.
It was here that the near-tragedy
started. The other parties to the
sport were unable to keep up with the
tire and its human freight They
we're outdistanced, totally outclassed
The combination was going down a
grade over smooth pavement and
straight toward the cemetery The
kids left out of the race began to
scent the coming disaster
Their shouts attracted the atten-
ton of a larger lad who was close to
the path of the moving mass He
got in the way, gave it kick and
caused it to swerve from it's course
into side street.
Over the sidewalk of a vacant lot
went the tire and the boy. On that
lot there was fairly deep depression
which recent rains had turned into
a small pond.
Plump into that pond went tire and
boy. They made an awful splash and
not only lashed the water into foam
but stirred up the mud 1t was the
null as much as anything else that
stopped the wild journey.
The small boy was soon dug out
breathless. But with the
usual small boy vitality he was soon
able to stand up and start off with
his companions. He was a wiser and
4 dirtier boy.

Gray timber wolf, caught in the High
wood Mountains now playing in the
movies"
The Montana timber wolf is max
! ing such a hit among the motion pic
ture producers that an order has beef
sent Eckert for some more wolves
About six weeks ago Eckert and Jo'
Brandle, rancher near the High
wood ranger station, captured sever
wolf pups from den in the noun
tains and they have been sold tt
Trimble and Murfin and will be ship
ped to the motion picture colony
The pups are about two months OLE
and are as gentle as ordinary collie
puppies, he said.
The wolf Trixie was leased to the
motion picture company and will ap
pear in several pictures of the north
land before she is returned to hel
ranger owner. The wolf, captured
when just puppy, is unusually in
telligent and as gentle and good nat
ured as dog, which makes her very
popular in the motion picture colony
where she is now acting"
Eckert has spent a great deal of
time in the mountains looking for a
giant snow-white wolf, believed to be
the leader of the Highwood pack that
has made many daring raids among
the stock in that section during the
winter months. At times the wolves
became so bold that they entered the
corra1s of ranchers and killed many
calves. A few months ago the wolves
killed Shetland pony belonging to
Sam Stephenson of Great Falls, the
foresters reported, who found the car
cass of the pony on Stephenson's
ranch
The white wolf has been seen sew
era1 times, but has always been out
of rifle range, Eckert said. He is
bigger than the ordinary gray wolves
and is believed to be freak rather
than cross, foresters say.
The Highwoods long have been a
famous rendezvous for timber wolves
and although the packs virtually
were exterminated a couple of years
ago by a government trapper. packs
have drifted down from Canada, it is
believed, and the mountains are now
larboring several packs. The wolves
are prolific and multiply rapidly. The
few dens that have been located all
nave contained large filters of pups.
One den, discovered by Indians in the
contained IA pups, the
anger reported.
Local foresters suggest that if it's
'ea1ism that's wanted by the motion
picture companies the Highwoods are
me of the most natural rendezvous
or wolves in the west and would be
N ideal background for scenes of the
forth which feature wolves in the
asst.
