A TALK ABOUT THE
.... WEATHER

A TALK ABOUT THE
WEATHER
As topic of conversation the
a weather is always available.
When two neighbors meet it is
likely to be the first thing they
talk about, and there is generally
something interesting about Mon
tana weather. We have had long
winter, much snow and a late
spring. Planting is later than
usual. The ground is full Of moist
ure and the hills and mountain for
ests full of snow. These are favor
able crop conditions in themselves,
but these favorable elements are
somewhat balanced by the lateness
of the spring. Crops that should
be in the ground and growing, are
not planted yet. 1t is yet possible
that the late start may be made up
by warm weather, timely rains and
good growing conditions from now
on, but the start is not good. Grain
crops in Montana that get an early
start often get past the dangerous
milk stage before hot dry winds
assail the ears. Late maturing
crops take on an extra risk both
from drouth and early frost. IF the
prayer Of the righteous man avail
eth much to change the weather, we
hope the righteous will get busy
praying for growing weather soon
and long continued. We surely need
a good crop in Montana badly this
year.
The melting SHOWS have caused
some bad floods in the south coun-
try. Montana has not contributed
much to the raging floods Of the
Mississippi this spring. 1t has been
too cold out this way to permit Of
our sending our full contribution
Of flood waters down the Missouri
to join the big river Of the south.
If we had received the early spring
we wanted it would have been still
worse for the low land farmers of
the south along the banks of the
Mississippi. The levees built to
hold the water out broke in several
places, as they always do, when
flood waters pour down from the
mountain country. The fact sug-
gests once more the economic gain
that would result if these flood
waters could be reservoired in the
mountains and made to serve the
people below them instead Of going
to waste and carrying destruction
along their course. More money
spent on flood water reservoirs and
less on building levees that break
under flood strain would seem to
be a wise plan.
Despite the late spring, our in
formation is that large crop acre
age will be planted in Montana this
year. That it would be still larger
if the farmers had the means to
buy seed and hire help to put the
crop in is conceded fact. 1t is
really remarkable how in spite of
discouraging conditions for several
years the men and women who
work Montana farms have stuck by
the land, always ready to take a
new chance up to the measure of
their ability. A really good crop
year, such as we have had in some
years in our past history, at fair
crop prices, would put many of
them on their feet financially and
their patience and perse-
verance in good shape. And SO
when we talk about the weather.
past, present, and to come, Mon
tana citizens usually have the crops
in view. They realize not only
what it means to the farmers, but
what it means to all classes Of citi-
zens in the state. If we could
make the weather to order, we
would make it farmers weather.

products to any extent worth con-
sidering. This tariff will add moth
ing worth while to returns for the
farmer, but will add hundreds of
millions to the cost Of what he

"The bill is one written by spe-
cial interests for such interests,
with little regard to the plain peo-
pie Of the country, and it takes no
prophet to foretell what its enact
ment will cost the republican party
responsible for it."

Of the farmers interests lis still to

American Agriculturist, in which
we read further:
"In the long siege ahead on the
McCumber tariff bill our legislat-
ors need bear one thought in mind
if they intend to make good with
their farmer constituents. The
schedules on such products as raw
wool, vegetable oils, poultry prod
ucts, potash. hides and cotton which
have been urged by organized agri-
culture are vital in the minds Of
farmers. No equivocation, no COM
promise and no sidetracking will
satisfy the demand for real protec.

harvard PRESIDENT
WA[[OPS FOOTBALL;
GETTING TOO BIG
Public Interest Has Tended to
Give Excessive Importance
to Contests, He Says.

Cambridge, Mass, Jan. 19.-Public
interest in football has tended to give
excessive Importance to college ath-
letic contests, President A. Lawrence
Lowell of Harvard university said in
his annual report, just made public.
He said that the question was one that
affected all American colleges and that
it would be well to consider afresh
the proper place Of public intercol-
legiate athletic contests in the scheme
of education.
1.-THE public interest in the sport
has become general and has increased
markedly" he said. ut has tended to
give excessive Importance to college
athletic contests.
intercollegiate matches have a dis
tinct value in stimulating sports, which
are the best form of physical exercise
in youth; but the single boat race be-
tween Oxford and Cambridge on the
Thames, and the cricket match between
the universities have been enough to
stimulate tagging interest in those
sports among students. One may ask
whether or not the same plan would be
sufficient in football.
1.-THE necessity for maintaining for
this purpose public spectacle attend
ed by thousands of spectators every
Saturday throughout the autumn is
certainly not clear; and whether it
ought to be maintained for any other
object is worth consideration.
