Egg Laying Contest


 The hens at Storrs are laying more eggs and there is every indication that they are out for record break ing year. In the third week of the contest they laid nearly 900 eggs more than the average for the last eight years and over 700 more than for the corresponding period in any previous contest. The total number of eggs for all pens was 2164 or a yield of9nearly 31 per cent. The accompanying table shows the aver age production for previous years in per cent as compared with the pro- duction for the first three weeks in the current contest.
 Period Average 1922 First Week. ..11.4 15.8 Second Week ......15.O 23.3 Third Week ..17.8 3O.9
 These figures seem to suggest that the management of the contest may presently have the problem of guard ing against excessive production dur ing the winter months. In other words there is probably limit of endurance beyond which hen can not go.
 Hollywood Farms pen of White Leghorns from Hollywood, Washing ton, that won the last laying contest are off again with bang. This pen of bullets was in first place last week with a production of 51 eggs. A Connecticut pen of White Leghorhs owned by s. c. Mclean of South Glastonbury was in second place with a total of 49 eggs. Two other pens of White Leghorns entered by Hilltop Farm from Suffield, and Roy H. Waite of College Park, Md, tied for third place with 45 eggs each. Two pens of White Wyandottes, both of them from Rhode Island, one owned by Frank P. Matteson of Davisville and the other by Obed G.

FLOOD WATER
WITH SMALL DAMS
At HARLEM FARMS
Demonstrations Carried Out to

SPctlni " 1uC Iiipuucs
Harlem. May 25.-To make use of
spring flood water and to utilize water
which otherwise gets away is the pur-
pose Of three demonstrations which
Blaine Ferguson put through on three
dry land farms of the county last week.
The first of these was laid on the
farm of Howard Brown of Zurich. On
this place 1t is possible to back up
the water by making a small dam to
flood so acres of dry land with water
which would otherwise be absolutely
wasted. Ten or - acres can be irri-
gated from the same water below the
dam.
Another demonstration was made on
the farm of Clarence Finch, south of
Chinook, where it was discovered that
10 acre feet of water could be stored
by building two small dams, thus plac-
ing under irrigation 10 acres of land.
enough to insure a comfortable living
for an average family. The third
demonstration was the suggestion of
the enlargement Of a dam whereby
20 acres of ground could be irrigated
for Max Jess, in the Ada community.
From the standpoint of utilization
of waste water these demonstrations
are important. Farmers living in the
neighborhood of the demonstrations
will make it a point to visit these and
perhaps suggestions will be gained
whereby such efforts can be put into
effect on their own land.
There Is also a second feature con
nected with the demonstrations and
that is the control of the flood water

w LINES OF ENDEAvOR.

The Tribune feels a thrill of en-
thusiasm every time it reads in
the news columns of an associa-
ton or a united effort for the
bringing in of dairy cows or the
organization for the grading and
marketing of potatoes. Here are
two lines Of effort where much
good can be worked out.
We should never be satisfied for
a single minute as long as there is
a pound Of butter shipped into the
state of Montana and we should
be further ashamed whenever we
put a hot potato in our mouths
that is not raised upon Montana
land. Indeed, we should ship car
loads of spuds out of the state.
Some years have passed since Pat
Carney of Waterloo developed the
big Montana potato. It is nov a
famous product but there is yet
much to do before the potato pro-
duction of this state'iis put where

Special to The Tribune.

cltNIdI " dlibtIN.
Lewistown, May 25. -- Wednesday
night the county commissioners COM
pleted the first check cf the names
on the petition for the creation OF Pc
troleum county. Out of 22J names
considered Wednesday, that being the
number remaining on the list, $50 were
stricken or withdrawn. hnt tho diyis-
iesists made a gain of 20 anne out
OF ahose previously taken under adj
visenent. On the fact of /, there
fore, there are now 725 names held to
be those of valid electors, with a few
held under advisement.
The commissioners will 60 over the
whole list again during the adjourn
ment until next Monday and at that
time will announce whether the petit
ton is sufficient. If it is, the protest.
ants will put in their exclusion petition.
Since it will take so per cent of the
electors of the district sought to be
withdrawn to make the exclusion petit
ton effective, the divisionists feel that
there is little to fear from such a
source, and believe the result is going
to depend entirely upon the conclusion
announced by the commissioners next
Monday.
If the board finds that the names re-
naming on the petition are sufficient
to Authorize the call for an election,
the divisionists are confident nothing
that the 'antis" can do will affect the
result. 1t looks as if the result of the
checking would leave but a very small
margin either way.

Harlem Students
Enter State College
Sewing Contests

Harlem, May 25.-The displays of
the girls sewing clubs from Harlem
and Savoy attracted a great deal of at
tentiOn in the high school building last
Saturday afternoon at the time of the
track meet. The purpose of the display
was to decide the county winner, which
is part of the requirements emitting
them to the county scholarship offered
by the extension department of the
Agricultural college.
The judging was done by Miss Smith,
the domestic science teacher from
Chinook. There were IL girls entered
in the contest. The work done by
these girls was governed by the rules
and regulations for the boys and girls
in the second year sewing. The scores,
along with the achievement stories,
have been sent to the state club leader,
Miss Emily Linhoff, who will be the
final judge and award the prize.

PLUMBERS ACCEPT
DOLLAR WAGE CUT
ON own INITIATIVE
Craftsmen in Four Montana
Cities Voluntarily Reduce
Scale From 50.
Special to The Tribune.

Special to The Tribune.
Anaconda, May 25.-Plumbers and
Steamfitters union No. 673, with head
quarters in Anaconda, has made a vol
untary cut of 81 a day in the wages of
Anaconda, Deer Lodge, Dillon and
Warm Springs journeymen plumbers
and steamfitters, according to an
nouncement made here. The cut, which
effects more than o5 men under the
Jurisdiction of the Anaconda local, is
retroactive to May 1 and brings the
union scale down to SIS a day.
Master plumbers of the three cities
have made arrangements to pass the
cut along to property owners and pros
pective builders, and as a result of their
decision many persons who have been
delaying repair work on their proper
ties are making preparations to put
their buildings in firstclass condition
The announcement also has had a fav-
orable effect toward the naturalization
of building plans under consideration
for some time but delayed because of
the high cost of labor and materials.
With reductions in both L-bor and ma
t~exials, dealers are looking forward to
considerable building during the pres
ent year.
The new scale Of the Anaconda union
brings the wages of plumbers and
steamfitters to the pre-war level, and
is 81 a day less than the wage paid
this class of labor in Butte and Mis-
soula. Butte plumbers and steamfitters
recently voted to cut wages from $40
to 50 a day. According to members of
the Anaconda union, the wage in this
section is now or a par with that of
other sections of the United States, with
the exception of Butte and Missoula.
Action toward the lower scale was
taken without solicitation by the mas
ter plumbers, of which there are three
in Anaconda and one or more in each
of the other towns effected. The I'M
ion men, In discussing the cut, ex-
pressed the opinion that the only way
to stimulate building was to return to
the scale in effect before the war, and
acted accordingly.
