ANSWER SUIT AS
COUNCIL GATHERS
Dr. Evans SCOTS at New
Legal Action in Plea for
ReceiverShip Simmons
Denies Any Collision

With executives Of the Ku KIux
Khan in Washington, d. c., to attend
meeting of the kloncilium called
for Saturday, interest in the receiv-
ership petition filed Thursday
against the khan in Fulton superior
court centered Friday in statements
given out by several defendants in
the court proceedings.
From Washington, Imperial Wiz
ard H. w. Evans declared none OF
the plaintiffs in the suit was known
to him and predicted that the case
would not stand the test of a denur-
rer. He said he would not dignity"
the charges of mismanagenent in
the suit by making a denial.
En- route to Washington, Colonel
w. j. Simmons, emperor and found.
er of the Khan, gave out statement
in Richond, saying he was at a loss
to understand why he had been
charged with COLLISION with DR..
Evans. He said he would admin,
however, that the present admins
tration of the khan was subject to
attack because of mismanagement
and the extravagnnt and reckless ex-
penditure of monies coming through
regular channels to the treasury of
the khan"
1t was learned Friday at the
sheriff's office that none of the re-
ceivership suit papers have been
served, due to the fact that a major
ity of the men named as defendants
are reported out of town.
Another local development Friday
was a statement given out by w. s.
Coburn, one of counsel for the plain
tiffs in the suit, referring to Colo
mel Simmons connection with the
litigation. 1t follows:
Colonel Simmons knew of the
acknowledgement and of the unfit
ness for office of the other officials
of the imperial palace, and also knew
of the approaching litigation which
has been in evidence ever since thc
settlement Of the controversy be-
tween Colonel Simmons and H. w.
Evans.
ExhOnerates Simmons
"The attack or allegation that Col
onel Simomns, in collision with II.
w. Evans, made a settlement where
by he was to receive $1,000 a month
for life is set out-not that Colonel
Simmons in any sense whatsoever
was extensively in collision with II.
w. Evans. The attack made upon
Evans in the TColonel's suit was to
straighten out and correct the very
things that the attack in the presefE
suit is intended to strike. In Asking
the court to set aside this settlement.
We allege that Colonel Simmons was
party to the collision, which is
true, but the Colonel was an inno-
cent party, the settlement having
been put over on him in way which
doesn OF morally affect the Colonel
in any scase.'
Meanwhile, Judge John d. Hum
phries' order, tying up khan funds
and placing control of the organiza-
ton in the hands of the courts, re-
NAMED in effect until the hearing
scheduled for June 8.

mi TANA'S WINNINGS AIT THE
INTERNATIONAL GRAIN SHOW

MI ONTANA was the outstanding
WI winner among the states and
/ provinces represented at the 1928 In
ternational Hay and Grain Show, ac-
cording to A. j. Ogaard, State college
extension agronomist in charge of
Montana's exhibits at Chicago. This
showing was made in spite of the fact
that competition was stronger than
ever before at the show.
The most holly contested and most
interesting event of the show was the
race between o. G.. Biering of Boze-
man and a Canadian exhibitor for
first place in hard red spring wheat,
which carried with it the world
wheat championship. The Canadian
was finally awarded the high honor
with sample that was slightly hea-
vier and little better color than that
from Montana. However, the Boze-
man sample excelled in size and uni
formity.
The next highest honor of the
show was won by Clyde Norton of
Columbus, when he took first in hard
red winter wheat, which carried with
it the reserve championship honors.
L. e. Peterson of Victor came in
for large share of glory by winning
first and sweepstakes in the durum
class. Montana's excellence in this
crop may be judged from the fact
that other Montana samples won sec
ond, third, fifth, sixth and eleventh
places.
Montana's boys and girls corn
club exhibitors placed well up in
front when Chalmer Wiseman of
Hillcrest took second in white dent
and Herbert Zwisler of Park City
won third in yellow dent for district
one.
Montana won sixty places in all at
this years International; ten in hard
red winter wheat, seven in hard red
spring, five in white spring, six in
durum, four in yellow dent corn,
three in white dent corn, seven in
oats, four in early oats, two in flax,
two in rye, four in two-rowed barley,
four in six-rowed barley, one in tim
othy and one in alfalfa. Saltwater
and Ravalli counties won most of the
places for Montana.
The grain judging team made up
of Winton Weydemeyer of Libby,
William Hay of Hamilton and Louis
Neuman of Odell, Nebraska, repres-
enting Montana State college, placed
sixth.
Following are the Montana win
ners:

ing not less than twenty acres of
corn.
Contestants for the corn awards
should notify The Rocky Mountain

it will be the policy to avoid making
more than one award to the crop of
any one family or farm.

CURING MEAT is
NOT DIFFICULT

The smoking of meat on the farm
is not a difficult matter nor does it
require elaborate or expensive equip
ment, says DR.. w. E. Joseph, of the
Montana Experiment station. Smok-
ing not only helps to preserve meat
but when properly done it adds de-
sirable flavor. The smoke house
should be standard equipment for
most farms in Montana, according to
DR.. Joseph.
If but a small quantity of meat is
to be smoked each year barrel or
box may be used effectively. A con-
yenient arrangement is to build a
fire pit in the side of little hill
brick, stone or concrete is good ma
terial to use-and run a pipe to carry
the smoke to a box or barrel or an
especially constructed smoke house
six or eight feet away. If such an
arrangement is not suitable fire pit
may be made in the center of the
floor of the smoke house. In this
case metal shield must be provided
to protect the meat from the heat I'M
less the meat hangs at least six feet
above the fire. In any case the smoke
house should have small holes under
the caves or near the top to provide
ventilation and carry off the heat. A
convenient size for the average farm
smoke house is six by eight by IA
feet high.
The proper fuel for smoking meat
may be somewhat of a problem at
times. The best wood for this pur-
pose is green hickory or maple. In
any case hardwood is preferable to
soft wood and resinous wood should |
never be used because it gives the |
meat an Objectionable flavor. Corn
cobs may be used and are frequently
pressed into service when other more |
desirable materials are not available. |
The only objection to corncobs is
that they deposit layer of sooty car
bon on the meat and give it dirty |
appearance.
Meat should, of course, be thor
oughly cured before smoking. The |
different methods of curing were ex-
planned in previous article. Dry
cured meat is ready for the smoke
house. Sweet-pickle or brine-cured |
meat should be soaked in clean water
for half hour before smoking and
If it has remained in the pickle be-
yond the required time, soak in water
three minutes for each additional day
It has remained in the pickle.
Hang meat in the smoke house and
10 not allow pieces to touch, as
tree circulation of smoke is neces-
;ary. The fire should be kept going
and held as evenly as
possible. The, temperature should |
lot go above 120 degrees.
A satisfactory color may be obtain II
ID in 4S hours but it is better to
cave the meat in the smoke house |
onger than that, especially if it is
lesired to keep the meat for some
ime. Some methods call for light
smoking for period of
tx weeks.
If the weather is warm, it may be
veil to let the fire go out occasional
y to- keep the temperature down but
Turing the cold weather this is not II
desirable as the smoke will not pene-
rate properly after the meat gets
old.
The meat may be left hanging in
he smoke house after the smoking Il
as been completed but it is best to

The federal farm loan board urges
the farmers of the country to turn to
Investigation of crops and the de-
velopment of cooperative marketing
as "the only sound basis for agricul-
tural success"
Basing it's observations on data
supplied by the IL federal land banks
presidents who have just concluded
their winter conference, the board
said in a statement that conditions
in the agricultural industry showed a
''very satisfactory improvement" but
it felt that full advantage of the sit
uation might not be taken by the
farmers unless they diversified crops
and organized for their sale.
The information furnished by the
land bank officials gave every rea-
son the statement said for the belief
that the improvement noted in the
last year would continue.
Collections were described as most
satisfactory in most sections and this
was accepted as indicating that the
farmers are getting on their feet fl
nancially.
agricultural conditions on the
whole" the statement added, :" con-
tinue to improve although there are
sections which on account of partial
crop failure, the low price of the
principal crop or scarcity of labor
are not prosperous. These, of course
include only fractional part of the
ho
ers and cattle raisers appear to be
the most unfortunate. The wheat
farmer on the whole has not had a
prosperous year.
There is every reason, however, |
to believe that this improvement will |
continue. The most encouraging |
part of the report to the board is the |
tendency throughout the United |
States to diversity farming. 1t is our !
belief that diversification and coop /
erative marketing furnish the only |
sound basis for agricultural pros
perity."
Farm Loan Commissioner Cooper
summarized conditions in various
land bank districts as follows:
Iowa, Nebraska, South Dakota, and
Wyoming Conditions are generally
satisfactory in the northern portion
of South Dakota where poor quality
of wheat marked this years crop.
The corn crop was very good through i
out the district, the western part
reporting the largest yield in many
years and it was sold at good prices.
Prices of livestock, poultry and dairy
products likewise were satisfactory.
Cattle ranchmen are slowly recover
ing from losses sustained from 1919
to 1922.
Idaho, Montana, Oregon and Wash
ington-Agricultural conditions are
better than last year. The wheat
harvest was the largest in the history
of the northwest and the production
of livestock and fruit has set a rec
ord. Dairying and poultry raising
are on the increase. The cost of
transportation however, consumed a
large portion of the farmers profits.
The apple crop in Oregon and Idaho
was large, by the prices are uncertain
and the market unsatisfactory.
