Many important problems in grow
ing and marketing pecans are confront
ing the growers.
Until recently the most experienced
growers Of pecans have considered
the cowpea to be an excellent summer
cover crop for use in their orchards,
but, says the United States Depart
nent Of Agriculture, it has been found
that this crop is a favorite host plant

the bug and the bush velvet bean and
the soy bean are not supposed toabe

be the solution Of the problem. AS yet,
there is little practical experience in
determining the suitability Of these
cover crops in pecan orchards and
their efficiency in controlling the "stink
bug" Orchardists VINO use either bush
velvet beans or soy beans as cover
crops should carefully inspect their
crops at the end Of the season to de-
termine whether the percentage of
nuts with kernel spot is satisfactorily
reduced on the areas in which these
crops are grown in comparison with
the same variety where no cover crops
are used. These are important prob
lens on whichsthe growers themselves
can assist in securing trustworthy in
formation. r. ]. -
Plan to Destroy "stink Bug"
It has been suggested that the ''stink
bug" feeds only on seed pods. If this
is true, crops, such as the velvet bean,
which are late In maturing seed pods,
could be grown for a summer cover
crop and turned under or cut up with
disk harrows in early October before
the pecan is ready to harvest. In this
way the insect probably would be de-
stroyed and the ground left in good
condition for the nut harvest. Growers
and experimenters are expecting to
obtain valuable information on these |
crops during the coming season.
Another important problem Is that |

OF unproductfve orchards. Some, of
these orchards were planted on very
poor soil, and for the worst of these
the only apparent alternative is that
of abandonment" Other orchards. do
not produce well because the trees
were planted too close together, and
are now badly crowded. For these it
appears: that the most effective renl-
edy would be that of removing the
alternate trees, pruning those remain
ing and Of improving the fertility of
the soil. For orchards composed of
Seeding trees, or. inferior varieties,
top-working is the solution.
To Build Up Industry.
In large outlying districts within the
pecan range, yet beyond the limits of
successful culture of southern varie-
ties, the question is how to build up
the orcharding industry, and how to
extend its range. In regions to which
the species is indigenous the first ques-
ton Is that Of finding new varieties
suitable for planting. The native for
est and field specimens should be ex-
amined for trees bearing desirable nuts
in sufficient quantity to be profitable.
Scions from such trees should be used
for top-working the inferior seedlings.
Small wild seedlings can be worked
over to desirable sorts by customary
nursery methods. Some common mis-
takes made in attempting to top-work
trees are: Using those that are too
old cutting off branches that are too
large; pruning too severely at the out
set, thus attempting to do too much
in q. single season; top-working trees
planted too close together, and top
working trees standing in out-of-the-
way places where it will never be pos
slble' to give them good care:
The development of the nut-cracking
industry should help the pecan into a
IL months Of the year market, and give
employment to labor during otherwise
idle months.
The kernels Of the pecan contain a
large percentage Of oil which is quite
as sensitive to temperature changes as
is butter. In order that the shelled
meats, as well as the unshelled nuts,
may be kept in prime condition for the
longest possible period, it is necessary
that the nuts be well dried before they
are packed or barreled for Shipment
and that the product be keptIn a cool
and well-ventilated place during the
winter months. AS soon as warm
weather begins these products should
be placed in cold storage at a tenn
perature between 80 and SO degrees.
In the Smelling Of nnts there is con-
siderable waste in the form of shells
and broken meats. Growers and han.
dlers are trying to find uses Tor these
products, such as fertilizer tanning
material and fuel. q.

This troop, which was organized in
September, 1921, by Paul +. Hagen,
formerly of troop s, is rapidly be-
coming one of the most efficient troops
under the Great Falls council. Stats
tics compiled by Scoutmaster Hagen
show an attendance record for the last
year that is probably not equalIed by
that of any other troop in the city.

President Says Federation Not
Clearing House as
Intended.

That the City Federation of Womens
Clubs is not accomplishing its purpose
as a clearing house for the organiza-
lions that compose it, was the asser-
ton of Mrs. P. Angland, president, at
the first official meeting of the year
at the Y. NJ. G. A. Tuesday night.
She urged the members present to work
for inspiration that would bring a zeal
Gus spirit to the club workers. Too
much time, she said, should not be
spent on routine.
Reports of standing committees were
heard. Mrs. w. J. Moon, who has been
in charge of the milk bottle funds, re
ported that several business firms had
decided to have them removed from
their establishments. The bottles will
be placed about the city and the money
collected will be used to purchase milk
for children whose parents cannot buy
it for them.
Reading matter for ex-soldiers, fur
nished during the last season, will be
supplied again this year if investigation
proves there is a need for it. Mrs. j.
Evans is in charge Of this.

Mrs. C. V. Templeton, Mrs. G. o.
Miller and Mrs. J. Evans were named
as a committee to plan 20-minute pro-
grams for the club meetings.
1t was voted TO foster the work of
the Red Cross and d resolution ten
dering the services Of the club to the
home service section was adopted.
Copies win be sent to the Red Cross
board and to Mrs. Harriet Carrier, ex-
ecutive secretary of the Red Cross. Ii
is as follows:
THE City Federation of Women's
Organizations at this, the first meeting
of the year, again wish TO offer its
help to the home service department of
the American Red Cross.
Think Program Important
We believe the peace time Red Cross
program fully as important SIS the war
time program, because it has SO ade-
quately met the requirements of so full
a program. The Red Cross is the only
national organization that has a con
structive program for social service
and development. 1t seeks in all its
efforts to hold up. as well as to aid,
those in need of assistance. To do that
effectively it is necessary that trained
and experienced men and women be
employed. The Cascade county chapter
has been as efficient in its peace time
program as it was in war work and
there should be no other thought in the
community than its continued support"
The club decided to hold a cooked
food sale during October to raise funds
for incidental expenses that may arise
during the year.
Miss Iva May Tanner gave two vocal
selections.

director of the war finance corpora
ton. to include Great Falls on his itin-
erary in his visit to the west this month
was telegraphed Tuesday by the board

$256,000 CASH PAID
TO CLOSE OIL DEAL
Payment Concludes Purchase of Acreage Near

Return on $4,000 Outlay.

sale to the California. Ii recently was
announced, unofficially. that the Cor
don Campbell Kelvin syndicate would
soon make a payment 10 its unit hold
ers, probably anticipating the closing
of this transaction.
The story of the keYin-Sunburst
company, long known as the Rhodes
group, is the story of the striking
growth of an investment of $4,000 in
the northern field. Under the leader
ship of Judge w. B. Rhodes of Great
Falls, a number of Lewistown and
Great Falls men pooled the $4,000
which backed Gordon Campbell in his
early work in the Kelvin Sunburst
field. For this sum, they obtained sew
eral thousand acres of leases in the
field, of which they have now sold but
a small part. The result of this sale
of a relatively small tract is sufficient
to make the return on the original in
vestment some 1900 per cent. The
company, now incorporated, already
has paid dividends in the neighborhood
of 500 per cent and now is establish
ing itself as Montana's greatest divi-
dend payer.
BeardsIee Gets Si0o,O 0O.
Arby Beardslee, who has benefited
to the extent Of in the neighborhood of
100000 in the complete contract, is
undoubtedly the largest individual
holder of acreage in the northern field
and on the basis Of present acreage
prices can lay claim to the title of be-
ing one of the wealthiest individuals in
northern Montana. He was a pioneer
in the field, aiding Gordon Campbell
and taking extensive leases through
the territory. His leases are scattered
throughout the field and large blocks
of it are located in the vicinity of the
Gladys Belle and MIDI Northern wells,
the largest yet brought in in the field.
Negotiations in the present acreage
sale to the California have continued
through several months, the sale TAX
ing place early in the summer 1t was
held up for much of this time pending
settlement with Fred Whiteside, who
held a part Of the acreage. Later ap-
prevail of the department of the in
terror to the transaction was needed
and this upon being given was followed
by other details that needed to be
arranged.

A quarter of a million dollars in
Great Falls and northern Montana
men Tuesday, when payment was made
by the California company on $40
acres purchased in the Kelvin Sunburst
field from the Kevin-Sunburst COM
pany, Arby Beardslee and Gordon
Campbell interests. Announcement of
the final closing of the deal, which
rounds out q contract involving q
total of about $780, 600, was made by
Judge Roy X. Ayers, secretary of the
Kevin-Sunburst, who has been engaged
in the winding up of the transaction
during the last 10 days or two weeks.
The final deal on acreage covered
some $40 acres in township 35 north,
range 8 west. The tract lies directly
east of the Campbell discovery well.
Of the S256,00O payment made by the
California Tuesday, the kevin-Sun-
burst obtains S96, 900; Arby Boards
lee, $4,000, and the Campbell inter
ests, Gordon Campbell-Kevin syndi-
cate and Gordon Campbell personality,
$12S,000.
Is Final Payment.
The contract involving 1896 600, all
of which now has been paid, is IN
doubtedly the largest single cash
transaction that has been made in the
field, considering that the sellers re-
tain 5 per cent overriding royalty in
the acreage. The price on some tracts
ran as high as $500 and acre.
The California, t validate the Lin
coin permit concerned in the sale, had
started drilling early in the summer
on section 1888 west, carrying the
hole to 800 feet and it is believed that
this we'll now will be carried down by
the purchaser, although no announce
ment in that connection has been
made. One well was put down on the
permit by Fred Whiteside for the
Rainbow Oil company, who owns a
part of the permit.
Gordon Campbell, who, with his as

the sellers most benefited, was the
discoverer of the field. With his at
