In February, "the administration
will be in much better shape and
form, and will overcome any per-
picking problems which they were
unable to unravel during 1921"
Several references have been made
to President Harding's handsome
face.
In February, also, there will be
many scandals in high life and In all
likelihood the dethronement Of one
or more royal sovereigns." The law
courts will be Extremely busy, not
only with political controversies, but
with many social scandals among
persons of high standing"
In March the first Of a series of
misfortunes for the president is ar

any Of them is carefully omitted

COUNTY WHEAT 1870 BUSHELS
Dickinson Raised 2,546,z63 Bushels
in 1921 Harvest Crop

A letter to Frank GeOnroy Ironi
e. G. Paxton, government statistician
for Kansas, says that the record ror
the Dickinson wheat crop or 1871
is:
Acres sOwn, 1920...-....-.-.....16S,2IO
Abandoned, per cent...:-....... y
Acres harvested ...-.--.--.---..--l63,22
Average yield, bushels.......... 1913
Total yield, bushels...-......2,546,20
Mr.. Geoffroy has made trips over
the county during the past few days
inspecting the growing wheat ana
says that there is evidence OF dam
age from lack Of moisture. A con-
siderable portion Of the plant he
says, has no root hold but can De
pulled from the loose soil and needs
badly a packing rain to hold 1t from
absolute loss. How great this dam
age is cannot be accurately estimated
but continued dry cold weather VIII
further injure the growing crop.
The December condition OF the
county crop was given as II per cent
which was above the states 60 per
cent average as a whole. The report
then said that there were 177,OVo
acres in Dickinson in the fall OF
1921, 9,270 acres more than the
previous season.

BE SUMNER TILED

The drive for members of Montana's
summer tillage clubs, who pledge to
cultivate a certain acreage according
to the most approved summer tillage
principles, closed this week with a
special contest and a $50 cash prize
won by the Rapelje club, 35 miles
northwest of Billings and the success
of the state movement surpasses the
fondest hopes of it's promoters.
The prize was offered to. the club
securing the largest number of men,
bers for the weeks work. Rapelje
won first place with 1873 new mem
bers; Fort Benton second with SO new
members; Poplar third with SO new
members; Geraldine fourth with SO
new members; Clifford fifth with IS
new members; Lavina sixth with 70
new members and Big Sandy seventh
with " new members. The total acre
age secured was 63,259 acres. The to-
tai number of members secured by all
clubs competing was 929. This makes
a grand total for the state of 4,O55
AiASiAAoCAo ollu G1c,Oil AIRES.
The prizes for which the members
of these clubs will compete in the har-
vest of 1923 are based on a measured
20 acres of land and will be given to
the largest yields, secured under rules
specified by the Montana Development
association and the local summer til
lage cluos.
If the land enrolled in the contest
were divided up into square 2O-acre
tracts, they would make a strip of
land approximately 1000 miles in
length and with just average condi-
lions another year, the land to be
summer titled this season in compe-
tition for the prizes alone, will produce
approximately as much wheat as the
whole state of Montana produced in
the season of 1921.

Kries, as secretary, tops all the clubs
in the state, with 1928 acres. Hob
