Due to the visit OF an English team

door polo is very much in the public

game, played with large soft ball,

hand, as a developer of material for
outdoor polo il has distinct value.

In the Roman valley, Montana.
there was, seven years ago, eighty
acres of untitled soil. The land was
twelve miles from the nearest town,
and it was bounded on the west by
desolate hills where coyotes began
to bark when night fell. Came Lars
Beck, alone and with all his earthly
possessions on his back. He staked
off the eighty-acre tract and set out
to break the soil and make it ready
for planting.
He married, sowed two acres of al
falfa and began grading two scrub
heifers up to the point where they
would become Holsteins. How he
Jared from then until the present is
told by the Rev. Ralph Carleton of
Roman in an article written for the
Reclamation Record:
Each succeeding year he enlarged
his alfalfa crop. Last year his eight
Holstein COWS brought him in round
numbers $1,000 worth of dairy prod
ucts, and he had the by-products in
the shape of humus which went back
to the land and the milk which went
into the production of calves and
pork. His hogs, which had cost him
practically nothing that he had not
raised upon the farm, brought him
another thousand dollars. Then, be-
sides the hay consumed on the farm,

THE STORY OF LARS BECK
WHO WON OUT ON "A FARM

| he sold 5000 worth of beef cattle to
the local butcher and 5000 worth OF
alfalfa.
He kept eighty chickens which
gave him an income of $500 a year,
and sold in the local market 500
worth of fruit and garden truck.
All of this added up amounts to the
very neat income of $4,000 a year,
besides the food raised upon the farm
and consumed by the family. AT a
conservative estimate this amounts
to 5000 more"
Then Mr.. Carleton tells how Lars
bought a Ford car, paying $500 in
cash, how he paid 5000 more for
a manure spreader, $3.50 for the lat
est model washing machine and $50
for a gasoline engine and a roller
mill.
"a store bill" wrote Mr.. Carleton,
f'is an unknown quantity in his
home. His house and barn and out
buildings are not large, but they are
comfortable and convenient, and
there are no mortgages hanging over
them.
ttThis progressive farmer tells me
LUdL WITH his N6I-luCIGdSlu dCIodSc
of alfalfa, in a few years he will have
twenty-five dairy cows, better graded
than they are now, which at present
prices will bring in $4,000 a year
He expects to multiply his flock of
chickens by two and a half and to
expand in other ways"
Mr.. Carleton says that while there
is no ''fear'' that Lars will die a
millionaire, he is extracting a very
comfortable living for himself and
his very fine family and that Lars
wastes no time "cussing the million
aires and hurting sulphuric brim-
stones at the government" adding:
81 honestly think that people of this
type are extracting more of the right
than any man who ever dealt
in the 'frenzied finance of Wall ST."

OUTPUT
OF SUGAR BETS

Production increase of the Great
Western company's sugar plant at
Billings will mean that 100000 sacks
OF sugar will be manufactured this
year with the 1928 payroll amount
ing to 100000. 1t is expected that
the output of the plant will be the
largest of any in recent years.
There are $4,000 acres of beets
planted this year as against the total
acreage of $4,000 acres in 1922. This
is accounted for by the fact that
farmers are returning to the sugar
beet industry following the war peri
cd when the principal crop raised was
wheat.
The increased production of the
sugar beets practically means that the
Great Western company will pay out
in actual cash to producers and labor
500, 900 more than last year. 1t is
estimated that the 1928 initial pay
ments will amount to $~1,380,0O0.
Whatever bonus may be paid on the
sugar content will be in addition to
that.
The. factory payroll for 1928 will
be 100000. Last year it was
s365,000. The factory plant and Of
flee will employ 500 persons, instead
of $50 as last year. The beet field
hands this year number 5000 as
against $500 for 1922. The sugar
factory last year used 10000 tons of
coal. This year it will use $4,000
tons. 1t will need 10000 tons Of
lime rock as against 10000 used last
year. 1t will use 600 tons more coke
than last year.
In 1923 the sugar factory paid for
coal, lime and coke, $4,000. This
year it will pay for those things $75,-
900. The freight paid to the rail-

NOW EVERYONE is FISHING

"Strange things are done meath
midday sum-" according to George
Benoilken, rancher of the Trail creek
district near Livingston.
Recently George, an enthusiastic
angler, was "doing his stuff" in ap-
proved Isaak Walton style when he
hooked something that seemed too
sluggish for a trout. Pulling in his
line, he discovered a sack and in it
a bottle of cool, sparkling m%oonshine.
Grasping his prize firmly by the
neck, George gave devout thanks to
the late lamented John Barleycorn
and proceeded homeward. Soon
thereafter a horde of anglers, armed
with seines, dragnets, graphing hooks
and all varieties of tackle, could be
seen hiking in the direction of Trail
creek.
However, If any good catches were
made, they have not been reported.
In the meantime George is being be-
sieged by fishermen anxious to OBJ
tain a supply of bait.

HELPFUL ORGANIZATIONS
UP In ROOSEVELT COUNTY

The organized communities Of
Roosevelt county are developing 6
reputation and name for the good
services they have rendered to their
members who have been struck by
extremely hard circumstances.
During the early part of July, John
Waro, a member of the "Be Square
Community" was taken seriously i'll
and it was found necessary to take
him to the hospital Immediately for
an operation. During his absence,
members of the community at one
of their meetings discussed Mr..
Waro's unfortunate circumstances
and practically every farmer in the
community volunteered to assist in
putting up a 25-acre field of alfalfa
hay of Mr.. Waro's, which was then
about over-ripe. This will give him
enough hay to tide him over the win
ter, which he would not have had
otherwise.
Another example of this type of
comradeship which is developing
among such organizations was dis
played by the Divide community
members last spring. Mr.. Kitchener,
a farmer who had just moved out to
make his home in that community
was taken i'll at the time spring work
was being done. Members of the
Divide community knew that Mr..
Kitchener would not be able to get
a crop in in time to do any good if
he waited until he was we'll, so at
one of their meetings they volun-
teered to bring plows, teams and
drills. They all got together one day
and put in as acres of wheat.

roads in 1922 amounted to $448,-
900. This years freight bills will
amount to $4,000 and the bags of
sugar produced will number 100000
as against 100000 last year.
In 1922 there we're $4,000 IONS of
pulp available for feeding livestock.
This year there will be $500 tons
of pulp.

WOULD COMPLETE
GREENFIELD UNIT

Progress toward obtaining funds
for the completion of the Greenfields
division of the Sun River irrigation
project took a step forward in reso-
lutions passed at a meeting of water
users of the district, according to
Miles Cannon of Washington, d. c.,
field reclamation commissioner, who
represented the department.
Would Cost Millions
The resolutions, signed by virtual
ly all of the land owners on the divi-
sion, outlined work which the water
users desire done and the aid they
would give in bringing this about.
The plans include adding 10000
acres and formation of an irrigation
district to guarantee payment. Full
fillment of the plans of the resolu-
lions would mean expenditure of be-
tween 100000 and $4,000, O00.
This action of the landowners was
essential to obtain proper appropri-
atoms for the project, Mr.. Cannon
Following heavy rains shortly
the project was begun several
years ago, the landowners lost inter-
~ in obtaining water. Mr.. Cannon

steers will be called upon to make
the Bozeman Roundup a success.
Among the riders are Lorraine
Tricky, Ruth Roach, Bonnie Gray
and Mabel Strickland. who have been
seen here before who have always
furnished good sport. They have
asked to be signed for this fifth an
nual event, knowing they have many
friends here and also that their rep

To R~esurrect Gregory
An effort will be made to get Guy
Gregory, a trusty of the prison at
Deer Lodge, and a rider of excep-
tional skill, to compete in the buck
ing events. Before Gregory was sent
up from Malta, he was the acknowl-
edged king of the bronx busters
among the cowboys of not only the
state, but other states. Influence
will be brought to bear upon Warden
Potter to allow his trusty to come
over.
Another of the interesting features
will be the trying out of new buck
sing bronks. Anyone having a bad
horse will be eligible to enter this
contest and prizes of $40 and $50
will be awarded. The management

TO STANDARDIZE
GRADING OF HAY

Organization of forces . for the
Standardization of alfalfa hay grdes
will be recognized in II terminals,
will begin almost Immediately, ac-
cording to E. c.. Parker of Billings,
who leaves for Washington, d. c.,
this week for a conference with fed
eral officials and the making of
plans for the organization of wHaN
he will have charge. Mr.. Ps{
has ben resident of Montana fori
years and was the manager of RY
Montana Ranches corporation WHO'D
headquarters here for eight years. No
Initial Effort us
This is the first time that effortL
ever have been made to standardize
hay grades, according to Mr.. Parker,
and the effort is the result of the con
fusion existing each fall in various
terminal markets when the hay is not
given a recognized grading. That this
Standardization will be of great bene-
fit to the shipper cannot be doubted
since it will make alfalfa hay of one
grade recognized at that grade in ny
terminal market.
The hay will be graded much in
che same way as wheat is graded at
this time and the farmers of Yellow
stone county, which is one of the
great hay producing counties of the
state, will reap untold benefits
from the methods which will make
sure the receipt of fair treatment in
the terminal.
Terminal Inspection
Another problem which will be
eventually worked out by the de-
partment of agriculture, thinks Mr..
Parker, will be a track inspection
service by a disinterested third party
in the terminal market. Through
this inspection by a third party
rather than by the buyer, the diff
culties of marketing will be material
1y reduced. Mr.. Parker will hold
conference in Washington for sever
al weeks with department heads, and
will then have charge of the work of
organizing a sufficient force of in
spectors and deputies to carry on the
work of Standardization as soon as
possible.

G. II. HoLBRooK HAPPY
Putnam Deputy Sheriff Is Reappoint-
 ed After 25 Years Service

To Deputy Sheriff George H. Hol- brook of Putnam came the honor the past week of reappointment to the office he has held for more than 25 years His reappointment was at the hands of Sheriff Charles A. Gates of Willimantic.
 Deputy Sheriff Hoibrook will be so years old in August. During the past three years he has been confined to bed, having collapsed at his home after having taken a prisoner to a state institution. He has since been practically helpless. Sheriff Holbrook is veteran of the Civil War and dur ing his service at the front he receiv- ed wounds which have troubled him all during his life.
 He has been a deputy sheriff in this county since 1894 and all during his long service he has never lost a pris- oner, nor has he found il necessary to draw a revolver on one or to strike a man who he has arrested.
 His reappointment is particularly gratifying to him and his friends, de- spite his inability to exercise his office, because it has long been one of his most cherished wishes to con- tinue as a deputy sheriff as long AS he lives. His reappointment is for a four year period.
