CURRENT EVENTS
DISPLAYING THE FLAG
 ON MEMORIAL DAY

In order that there may be thor oGgh understanding of the treatment of the American flag on Memorial Day, George Lewis Bailes, past com r1ander, Birmingham post No l. American Legion, offers these sug- geStions:
 Wednesday, May 30, is Memorial Day. Already many buildings in the city are being decorated. Some of the flags displayed this week have been improperly arranged. Others will be.
 Among the simple rules on how to treat the American flag are these: In the horizontal position the flag should be so displayed that the blue field and white stars are at the up- per left. When the flag is hung in the vertical position. that is, with the stripes toward the ground, the blue field and white stars should be in the upper right hand corner. Of course, the flag has an inside and outside. as all fabrics have. These rules apply to the outside.
 Tn draping, it should not be all lowed to drag upon the floor or upon the ground. It should never be used as a sofa pillow top. It should never be used as a table cover. When spread upon table or casket or anything else, nothing should be allowed to rest upon 1t. The only
 
 is the Bible.
 "The flag should never be draped along the edge of speakers stand or platform. This puts it on lower level than the seats of the platform. This makes the reason for the rule obvious. The flag should never be twisted into fantastic shapes or de- signs; bunting should be used for those purposes. When the flag is draped with that of one of our allies, or with the banner of any organiza7 tion, it should be so placed as to be at the onlooker's right. When car ried with other flags in parade, the colors claim the place of honor-at the right.
 "The official colors of the Ameri- can Legion consist of one United States flag and one solid blue ban ner of the same size, with the Amer ican Legion emblem and organiza- tion name done in gold near the center. When these are being car ried it will be observed that the service man carrying the colors is always on the right, the Legion ban ner proper on the left.
 Service men and ex-service men. when in uniform. salute the flag when passing it or when it is being carried past them. All men in civil ian clothes should uncover and hold the hat against the left shoulder with the right hand.
 "On Memorial Day run. the flag to the top of the mast; then half mast 1t until noon. From noon until sun set let it fly from the top of the staff."

Warrior Port Representatives Ask Ashburn To Make
 Chance

Repre- esentatives of the traffic as- sociations of the Warrior port cities, who were invited to conference with Col. T. Q. Ashburn, head of in land waterways, scheduled to be held at his office in Washington June A. have written Colonel Ash burn requesting that this conference be held at some central point in Alabama. They say 1t would be much more convenient for them than to make the long trip to Washington. Tn case the change of arrangement cannot be made they will go to Washington as first suggested.
 O. L. Bum, manager of the Bir- mingham Chamber of Commerce and the Birmingham Traffic association will represent this city, and Mobile, Tuscaloosa. Cordova and Demopolis, the other Warrior port cities. will have representatives.
 In his invitation to the conference Colonel Ashburn indicated that there was to be full disclosure of the status of negotiations with the Southern railway as to rate divisions and invited the traffic representa- t:ves to make suggestions for the betterment of the Warrior service.

QUITTING OF WHEAT HAS COM

Winter Wheat and Rye Have Filled

Winter wheat and rye have filled

These crops promise the best yields

Spring wheat has made rapid
strides and most of it is headed we'll.
Some is maturing a little soon, but
it is filling well. A few spots in the

rain for wheat.
Corn made remarkable growth I'M

Most of the first crop of alfalfa is
in the stack, except where delayed
by too frequent rains and floods. Not
a little of it was ~rain-soaked in the
process of putting UP. The yield has
been generally good, but hoppers,

BUSY DAYS AT
STATE COLLEGE

While school is not scheduled to
start at the state college at Boze-
man for more than a month yet, the
campus is a beehive of activity as the
building program is being completed.
The department of biology is busy
now moving into its new building.
AS rapidly as the old building is va
Gated the offices will be taken over
by the Extension Service of the in
stitution, formerly housed in the ag-
ricultural hall. The mathematics de-
partment will soon be ready to take
charge of the old engineering build
ing which is being vacated. They
will have the top floor of the build
ing while the lower floor will be
taken over by the secretarial depart
ment. Equipment has already been
moved into the new gymnasium while
the old one is being remodeled for
use as a stock Judging building.
The new %$250,00O engineering
building is ready for the influx of en-
gineers-to-be this fall. This build
ing will be exclusively for the engin-
eering departments with the single
exception of the office of the physical
plant.
Finishing touches to all the build
ings are rapidly being applied and
they will all be ready for the open
ing of the fall term. The torn up
ground, Uttered with the debris of
construction, is being leyeled off and
soon the buildings will be surround
ed by carpets of green grass and rows
% young trees.
One complete new roadway will be
built to be included in the circular
campus driveway. 1t will branch
off on the west side of the main hall,
running in front of the beautiful new
gymnasium and leaving the campus
on the east side directly in front of
the new engineering building and

| If potato growing is to be carried
on successfully and profitably the
"weeding out" process must be used
for the poorer plants. Experiments
all over the United States have
proven this. If potatoes are grown
from seed year after year, only sell
ected from the bin with no knowl-
edge of what kind of plants they
came from, in several years time
the potato yield will decrease to al
most nothing.
This statement is borne out in fig
ures compiled showing the produc-
tion of plants and potatoes raised on
the State college experiment station
plots. These experiments, with sew
eral different strains of plants, have
been carried on by the horticulture
department for the past seven years.
To start with, in n instance for
an example, los potatoes we're select
ed at random from a bin. They were
planted as separate units and from
the first the poorer plants were roug-
ed out. Those that showed a good
healthy vigorous vine character were
saved. Those that evidenced poor
vine character in smallness and dis
ease were pulled and dug. In a few
years some of the poorer plants ran
out altogether, the same as they will
do for the farmer if he does not
watch his fields. The better ones,
saved as No. 1 stock, have produced
an average yield for the seyen-year
period of from 10000 to more than
$4,000 pounds per acre. Some of the
poorer plants decreased until they
were only producing from 1900 toI
$4,000 pounds per acre.
Professor Harrington urges the
rogueing of potato field during Aug-l
ust while the time is ripe in order
Montana may gradually become
greatest state in the production
Of pure certified seed potatoes.
If the farmers haven't the time or
will not care for their fields in this
manner, he says, the next best thing
% do is not use any of the potatoes
,or seed next year but to buy certi-
led seed on the market at the start
If the season. This, he says, is a
plan that is being followed out with
in some of the southern and
eastern states at the present time.

ROOM FOR MANY

FARMS FOR 1900 FAMILIES ON

IRRIGATION PROJECT
Farmer on Huntley Project Grew
$500 Pounds of Tobacco on One
Acre; Sold for so Cents Per

Proper settlement of the Green

instead of the 800 now on the land
according to Miles Cannon, field rec
Iamation commissioner with the bu-
reau of reclamation.
Mr.. Cannon's is a new office with
the service, having been organized
for more effective colonization and
production in connection with federal
irrigation projects.
The Sun river project has no nat
ural disadvantages, and, with needed
construction done, should provide

remedy of the wheat situation is for
the farmers to grow less wheat. The
farmers should grow only those prod
ucts that give a profit. That seems
simple, but strangely enough, the
farmers don't follow that rule.
Montana irrigation projects are
some of the finest we have. They
have wonderful advantages of soil
and natural conditions. Most of
them should be more thickly settled.
On all of them the farmers must look
about and find products that bring
profit.
Fright here in Montana last sea-
son was grown some of the finest to-
bacco in the world. Down on the
Huntley project they are growing to-
bacco this season. Last season one
farmer raised $500 pounds of good
hurley tobacco on n acre. He sold
it at so cents a pound. That tobacco

Must Choose Products
whether it is growing vegetable
seeds, vegetables themselves, produc-
ing stock or raising pigs, Montana
irrigated farm owners must turn
from low priced products to those
that bring returns. When the num-
Der of wheat growers drop to the
point where wheat holds at $3.50 and
$1.60 a bushel, wheat farmers can
make a profit.
