ALFALFA PEDIGREE
AIDS SALE PRICE

That the matter of a pedigree
makes difference in the price to be
paid for alfalfa seed is indicated in
the difference paid in recent sale
! at a Miles City elevator for the
Grimm variety, which brought IS
cents per pound and the Liscom va
riety which brought % cents per
pounds.
There is declared to be no differ
ence between the two varieties except
in the matter of name and price. Both
are said to be acclimated to the eli
mate of southeastern Montana and
possess the same hardihood to resist
winter freezing and drought condi-
tions.
1t is noted, however, that the
Grimm variety is raised almost ex-
clusively in the north country, parti-
cularly in the Purewater, Montana,
district, while the Liscom is raised
more particularly in Powder River
district adjacent to Broadus.
Mr.. Liscom, after whom the seed is
named, started to raise alfalfa on his
Pumpkin Creek ranch south of Miles
City 35 to 40 years ago, it is learned.
He is said to have planted the Grimm
variety, but had no record of its pedi-
gree not knowing at that time that
in later years a movement would be
started to have all Montana grown
alfalfa certified as to its origin.
A movement is now said to be on
foot by the growers of the Liscom
seed to obtain a pedigree and if pos
sible to have it registered as Grimm
alfalfa seed.
Additional acreage has been plant
ed to alfalfa seed in Powder River
county each succeeding year, it is re-
ported, and it is expected that an add
ed impetus will be given to its culture
where the soil and climatic condi-
tions are favorable. 1t has been dem
onstrated that the crop can be raised
on the divides as well as in the river
bottoms and that farmers are forsak- |
ing the raising of wheat and taking |
up the culture of alfalfa, believing |
it to be the more profitable.

OWNER LOOKS FOR
HIS LOST RANCH

"Lost-One Cascade county ranch
Finder please return to Thomas D.
Lenihan, of Great Falls"
No such advertisement has appear
ed in the Great Falls newspapers, but
Lenihan is wondering what has hap
pened to his ranch, nevertheless.
Lenihan is one of the Oldest en-
ployes of the Great Falls Street Rail-
way company. He thought himself
the owner of a large ranch west of
Great Falls, and when he failed to re-
ceive tax notice last month, went
to the county treasurer's office to
ask why.
1--WE have no account in your
name," Mr.. Lenihan was told.
He went to the county assessors
office to learn if his name had been
omitted from the assessment rolls.
There he found from the records that
his ranch had been transferred to
Eliot e Britton, who had sold the
ranch to w. A. Gemmill. Gemmill,
in turn, had decided the property to
the Gemmill Ranch company.
Investigation in the office of the
county clerk and recorder revealed
that Gemmill had not only decided
the Lenihan ranch to the ranch COM
pany, but that he had mortgaged the
property to E. H. Eickemeyer, as
trustee, for a consideration of $751;
900.
No firm by the name of Eliot &
Britten appears in the city directory.
Neither does the name of w. A. Gem
mill, nor the Gemmill Ranch COM
pany.
Mr.. Lenihan has put the matter in
the hands of his lawyer, Ransom
Cooper, who is seeking to sift out the
mysterious transfers of title.
mo one has even a scratch of the
pen to indicate that I have decided
over my property to Them" Mr.. Lenf-
han told county officials.

Per Acre Value of Farms

The United States census shows
that the average per acre value of
farms under 20 acres in size is $685.
81 per acre, while the average value
of farms of between 500 and 999
acres in size is $54.80 per acre, and
of farms of over 1000 acres, $25.37
per acre.
Between these extremes the value
varies somewhat irregularly, in the
averages, inversely with the size of
the property.
In Washington and Idaho the aver
age farm is of 1913 acres, with 1914
acres improved; in Oregon farms av-
erage 270 acres, with SO acres i'm
proved; in Montana sos acres, with
191 acres improved.

ATKINSON FAVORS
EXPORTING WHEAT
SAYS COLLEGE is INTERESTED
IN POSSIBILITIES OF EXPORT
ASSOCIATION
Would Give Agriculture Same Protec-
ton That is Now Afforded Indus
trials; Almost Certain to Raise
Wheat Price.

In the midst of considerable dis
cussion in the northwest over the pos
sibilities of the Agricultural Export
corporation, formed in Helena recent
| ly, President Alfred Atkinson of the
| Montana State college announces the
state agricultural college is distinctly
| interested in the plan as the most
workable possible at this time for the
farmers and cattle men of this state.
"The plan as announced from Hell
ena is for an export corporation
working behind a tariff wall, to give
the same protection to agriculture
that the present tariff gives to the
industrialist," said President Atkin-
son. Where the industry of the east
is protected behind this present tar
if wall, and labor is protected by re-
stricted immigration, agriculture has
been left to shift for itself, with the
result that prices of farm products
are entirely out of line with prices
of other commodities in terms of pur-
chasing power.
Tariff Inconsistencies
"There is always room for debate
about the benefits to be derived from
any high tariff but there can be lit
tie argument that a tariff that is
good for the eastern manufacturer
is not also good for the northwestern
cattleman and farmer. If the tariff
idea is wrong, then it is wrong for
industry as well as agriculture; if it
be right, then it is good for agricul-
ture as we'll as the others.
"This proposition started at Hell
ena, as understand it, asks literally
for an export corporation working
behind tariff protection. It's effect
would be Immediately to raise the
price of exportable agricultural pro-
ducts in this country. 1t is possible |
to see that if this proposition had |
been in force last September our
farmers would be getting 80 to 40
cents more per bushel for their wheat |
and about five cents per pound more
for hogs.
Production Handled
''There is a claim by opponents of |
this idea that it would increase pro-
duction next year, but this is taken |
care of in the proposal to sell our sur
otuo Oh thC WI DIT
prices, the producer here to take the
loss if he over-produces in any one
inc.
''There have been many remedies
proposed ford the present disastrous
condition among farmers and cattle
men. The Helena proposal offers
more in actual results and less in
dangerous after-effects than any
)ther plan we have seen up to this
ime. Because it seems the most eff
icient means of bringing the farm
'r's products speedily to the price
evel of other commodities, the state
ollege is keenly interested in the
progress of the idea in Montana"
The farmer is going to be told all
bout this new plan, through the Ex-
ort Commission league, comprising
J.. F. Tate, president of the Montana
retail Merchants association; w. J. II
Topper of the Farmers Union; A. H. n

It night, he dropped two cases into

later the suit cases were found. The
third case has never been located.
For two weeks the case was the
greatest crime mystery New Eng

had returned to his Back Bay office,
satisfied he was safe and that his
secret would never be discovered.
But there came q man one day who
had been friendly with the victim.
He was william F. Bowen, aged
East Bridgewater realtor. He had
accompanied Mrs. Wolschendorf to
within a block of Robb's office.
Unknown to her, he had slipped be-
hind and watched her enter the
physician's apartment. This was
the last time she was seen alive.
He returned to ask Robb where she
was. Robb fled the city. Then
police were informed, and the
physician came out OF hiding and
surrendered. He was indicted for
