tempting to stop cars on the State
highway, the police say, John
Shultz and Mike Wilhelm, of Tren-

reign of terror among passing auto

tried the joke on car containing
Troopers Dawson and Wynn, of
the State Police, who happened to
be on patrol duty.
Before the car stopped each play

into the barrel of a Colt. They
pleaded forgiveness, but Justice of

and sent Wilhelm to the county
jail for thirty days.

Railroads Are Rapidly
Regaining Pre-war
Efficiency
BY International News Service.

The rapidity with which the
railroads Of the country are re-
gaining their pre-war efficiency
is reflected in the number of
serviceable locomotives now on
hand, it was stated today by
the Association of Railway
Executives.
On April / there were 5O,1O7
locomotives in first-class condi-
ton throughout. the country,
the greatest: number that has
ever been fit for use at any
one time, the association said.
Approximately % per cent
of the total number of locomo-
tives owned by all railroads
were in need of repairs on
April ].

tainty, but rather with that worry
entirely off their minds.
Bankers in Montana and in other
western states are lending financial
aid and giving their moral support to
the growers in this respect, in line
with banking opinion throughout the
country in favor of orderly distribu-
ton of all farm and range products,
as against the Improbable method
in former days of dumping the prod
ucts into the market at the peak of
the harvest seasons, with the newt
able result that prices crashed down
to low levels at which speculative
buyers made their purchases and
reaped all the profit, while the con-
sumers, when the finished product
reached their hands, paid an exorbit-
ant price at level wholly out of
line with what the producer received.
"The wool market continues fun
damentally strong" said Mr.. Staff.
"All circumstances indicate the lull
is only temporary, and that the fall
opening of samples for the light
weight season will start a rush of
buying by the mills. In short, see
no cloud in the sky for the growers"

APPLE BUYERS LOOKING OVER
BITTER ROOTS BUMPER CROP

Several apple buyers have already
made their appearance in the Bitter
Root valley, looking over the orch
ards with a view to buying the 1923
crop, manager of the McIntosh-Mor-
clio Orchard company.
The McIntosh-Morello company is
one of the largest orchard enterprises
in the valley, having 1000 acres in
fruit at this time. The company is
a subsidiary of the Payton-Dupont
Securities company of New York, and
formerly was operated by the Univer-
sity Heights company.
Mr.. Craig stated the company had
approximately 10000 apple trees on
the orchards which are near Darby
and a thousand bearing Morello cher
~ trees now, but preparations are
being made to set out $4,000 more.
He said they had that number in the
nurseries now and had hoped to plant
them next year, but stated it was
doubtful if they would be ready for
next springs planting.

HOW FARMER CAN
PRESERVE MEAT
HAM AND BACON NEED HANGING
UP ONLY If TO BE KEPT
BUT SHORT TIME
Thorough Curing, However, Is Es-
sentiaI to Absolute Safe-Keeping;
the Making and Use of Yellow
Wash as a PreServative.

Ham and bacon, if to be kept only
a short time, need merely to be hung
out separately without covering.
For longer keeping, wrap them in
paper first and then in burlap, can
vas or muslin, then bury them in a
grain bin or other suitable place, so
as to gain a uniform temperature
and to keep away insects. 1t is es-
sential that the meat be thoroughly
cured if absolute safe keeping be
desired
Smoked meat may be left in the
smokehouse for some time during
moderate weather. The smokehouse
should be kept perfectly dark and
well ventilated to prevent dampness.
A dry, cool, dark cellar, or an attick
with a free circulation and no flies,
will be satisfactory.
After meat is smoked and has be-
come dry on the surface it should
be wrapped in parchment paper. Old
newspapers will do where parch-
ment can not be obtained. Then in
close it in heavy muslin or canvas,
and cover it with yellow wash or
ordinary lime white-wash, glue being
added. Hang each piece out so that
it does not come into contact with
other pieces. Do not stack the pieces
in piles.
The receipt for yellow wash is as
follows, the ingredients being suffi-
cient for 100 pounds ham and bacon:
Three pounds of barytes (barium
sulphate); 90 pound of glue; .O8
pound of chrome yellow dead chro-
mattel: .04 pound of flour Half fill
a pail with water and mix in the
flour, dissolving all Jumps thorough
ly. Dissolve the chrome yellow in
a quart of water in separate vessel
and add the solution and the glue
to the flour. Bring the whole solu-
tion to a boil and add the barytes
slowly, stirring constantly. Make
the wash the day before it is re-
quired. Stir it frequently when US
ing and apply it with a brush.

ROOT CROPS WILL
KILL OUT WEEDS
ON RIGHT SOILS MAY BE USED
40 ADVANTAGE FOLLOWING
WHEAT OR OATS.
Principal Root Crops Are Mangels,
Sugar Beets, Rutabagas, Turnips
and Carrots; May Be Grown More
Cheaply Than Grain.

Root crops, especially turnips, are
valuable for clearing the land OF
weeds. On light soils these crops can
be used to advantage to succeed oats
or wheat.
There is no waste in using root
crops for such a purpose, even in
large areas, for they can be utilized
as forage. Much of the material will
be eaten on the ground by sheep and
the rest can be put up as fodder,
which, while coarse and bulky in
proportion to it's nutritiye value does,
nevertheless, make a rich food for
animals, being about equal to grain,
pound for pound.
These crops require fertile, loan
soil, and complete pulverization of
the ground is necessary before plant
ing. The seed must be sown in rows
wide enough to permit easy cultiva-
tion. Considerable handWork is at
taching to the thinning. The prin-
cipal root crops are mangels, sugar
beets, rutabagas, turnips and carrots.
They are of the greatest value as
feed for domestic animals where they
can be grown more cheaply than
grain, as is the case in Montana, Cali
fornia, Colorado, Utah, New Mexico,
Wisconsin and Oregon.

WOOL SITUATION GOOD AND
BETTER PRICES SHOULD RULE

cessary for America to import two
thirds of the total consumption OF
raw wool"
London Auctions Strong
Advices to President Matt Staff
of the National Wool Warehouse and
Storage company were that the Lon
don auctions last week showed re-
markable strength. Continental Eu-
rope was strong competitor for Of
ferings suitable for it's purposes, and
there was no recession of prices of
more than 5 per cent on the less de-
sirable woods, and on more desirable
woods the bids were generally up to
the May levels. This has created a
more cheerful tone in the Boston
market. Boston stocks are almost
entirely of foreign woods. With the
exception of few houses holding
South American woods undesirable
for American consumption, there has
been no tendency to lower prices to
bring about sales.
An outstanding feature of the mar
ket was the expectation of several
million pounds of South American
low crossbred wool to England and
continental Europe, where it was
sold at prices in excess of the levels
obtaining in Boston. This supports
the quoted statement of President
Wood of the American Wooden COM
pany that there is no demand in the
United States for low-grade woods.
The Australian clip, which comes
into direct competition with clips
from Montana and Nevada in the do
nestle market, amounted last season
to 1,828,520 bales. OF this, the ex-
ports to May 81, 1923, totaled L.
1856, 900 leaving on hand ON June 1
of this year only 43,520 bales. It
is estimated that this seasons clip
will be 66,000,000 pounds short of
last year, due to a drought. The
next auctions at Sidney will be on
IT, 1928, at which time
only one-half of the 1923 clip, esti-
mated at 100000 bales, will be Of
,ered, the remainder will be held I'M
Ill after Christmas. This goes to
prove that the Australian growers
believe in orderly marketing, which |
indeed they have been practicing |
With outstanding success for several
easons.
Montana growers are gratified |
'ver the fact that Nevada growers,
or the first time, are shipping this
eason to the growers selling agency Il

Combined figures, representing
all sections of the country, show that
production continues at the highest
level in history" says the New Eng
land letter of the First National bank
of Boston, of date June Is. output,
with our present effective plant capa-
city and labor supply, is at or near
the maximum. Distribution, as evil
denced by extremely high car-loading
| figures, is very satisfactory. Retail
trade, New England excepted, is
| holding up we'll. The fly in the ONT
ment," the letter goes on to say, lis
the wave of conservation which has
swept over the country in the past
two months, but which already shows
signs of subsiding. The conviction
that the present recession is temper
ary and in the nature of a readjust-
ment is quite generally held, and
consequently a feeling of optimism
prevails regarding fall business. This
opinion is based upon the fact that
the symptoms which preceded the
1920 deflation are almost entirely
lacking"
Wool Market Fundamentally Sound
of wool says: "The demand in this
country has continued to be most
pronounced for the finer qualities,
while the medium and lower grades
have been slow sale. Altogether the
market seems fundamentally sound
in spite of the perplexing outlook. In
spite of the dizziness of the seaboard
markets, mills continue to consume
heavy quantities of wool, with re-
ported consumption for April, there
fore, including non-reported stock,
approaching $50 million pounds, we'll
above the normal rate. The strength
of the continental market is indicat-
ed by the fact that of the $50, 900
bales of Colonial crossbreds offered
in Hull on June 8, the continent took
so per cent, and prices which had
been expected to decline remained
generally firm"
Mills Work Overtime
"The latest available statistics on
mill operations covering April" says
the June statistical summary of the
wooden and worsted industry issued |
by the Merchants National Bank of |
Boston, ''show that in that month the |
Hills were very DuSy. nc plSpdl d
tory machinery and spindles were OPP
Grated overtime" says the statement.
''It is obvious that the mills could
reduce their operations materially
and yet run fully up to normal"
Quoting from government esti-
mates, the consumption of all mills
IN this country for the four months
ending April 80, was, in 1921, 1885,
100000 pounds; 1922, 46,700,000,
and in 1928, 0,666,000 pounds, an
increase in 1923 of approximately rs
Der cent over 1921.
Fine Wool in Strong Demand
Further emphasis to the demand
or fine woods in this country is seen
n a statement by President Wood of
he American Wooden company at
England, early in June I
hat Americans will not use fabrics
made of crossbreds until an actual
heritage of better class goods arises.
t is difficult to predict when the
present demand for fine woods will
ecede," said Mr.. Wood, adding that
in order to keep it's wooden and '
vorsted machinery running, it is ne '
