''There is considerable complaint
about Lewistown beer being sold in

Home brew opponents here say that

MONT. ANNUAL CROP
SUMMARY And DE-
GENDER CROP REPORT

The value of Montana's principal
crops grown in 1922 exceeded that of
the 1921 crops by $11, 100000, accord
ing to the annual crop summary is
sued today by Geo. A. Scott, Federal
Agricultural Statstician Of the Mon
tana Cooperative Crop and Live
Stock Reporting Service at Helena.
The Montana crops of wheat, hay,
oats, corn, barley, rye, flax, potatoes
and apples for 1922 have a farm
value of $75,421 900, compared to
$64,512,O0O for the same crops in
1921. The total values are based up
on the average farm prices on De-
cember 1. The above sums do not
include the value of the big crops of
sugar beets, seed and canning peas,
alfalfa and clover seed, beans, and
other miscellaneous crops, which will
likely make the total value of all of
the state crops this year exceed $780,
100000.
Inc december estimates for the
1922 crops show material increases
over previous estimates this year, in
the acreage of winter wheat, spring
wheat, oats, barley and rye, while
they indicate a decrease from previ-
GUS estimate in the acreages Of flax
corn, potatoes and hay. The produc-
ton figures for all Of the principal
crops show an increase over the pre-
liminary estimates this year, with the
exception of flax, corn, hay, potatoes
and apples, which are lower.
In 1922, Montana produced 40,37O,-
600 bushels of wheat, 100000 tons of
hay, 100000 bushels of oats, 5,475,-
600 bushels of corn, 5,796,OOO bushels

known as the Ranous, Daleview and
Robinson, and it is charged that in
spite of the fact that nine school
children reside near the Robinson
school, none of whom live less than
four miles from the Daleview school,
the trustees closed the Robinson
school and are maintaining only the
Daleview school, The plaintiff asked
writ of mandamus directing the
board to engage a teacher for the
Robinson school and to maintain il
for as long a term as at the Dale
view school.
In response to the issuance of an
alternative writ of mandate the
trustees answered that no school had
been maintained in the Robinson
school house for over a year, that the
district is deeply in debt, that since
the erection of the three school houses
many of the families have left the
district and large tracts of land are
unoccupied, taxes are unpaid and that
there is not and probably will not be
sufficient money to keep more than
one school open for a period of nine
months.
Acting upon the pleadings Judge
c. E. Conner of the district court is
sued a peremptOry writ of mandate
on November 4, 1922, directing the
trustees to take the steps necessary
to opening the Robinson school
whereupon the trustees appealed from
the judgment.

The table below gives the estimated

WINTER WHEAT AND RYE SOWN
THIS FALL
The estimated acreage Of winter
wheat sown in the state this fall is
447, 900 acres compared to 1900
acres sown in the fall Of 1921. The
condition Of winter wheat on Deem
Der 1 this year is SO per cent Of nor
nal, as shown by the reports Of cor
respondents, compared to So per cent
on December last year, and the ten
year average Of SO per cent.
The rye acreage is estimated al
10000 acres, a decrease of $1,000
acres from that sown a year ago. The
condition of rye on December 1 was
81 per cent. The very poor condition
of winter wheat and rye this fall is
due chiegy to the lack Of moisture
during the fall months, which largely
prevented termination and growth, i
the sections of the state which grow
the bulk of these crops. Wheat sow
on good summer fallow generally
came up well, but much of it driec
out badly. Grasshoppers also dam
aged some which came up.

to the members all receipts from
sales after the actual selling cost has
been deducted.
The products Of the members are
members commodity of the same
grade and variety going into the
same pool. The individual member no
longer owns the particular bales, or
bushels, or tons Of the stuff that he
delivered He owns an interest pro-
pOrtionate to the amount which he de-
ivered inthe pool covering that grade,
and every time sale is made from
that pool he gets a share Of it.
Members Paid Loan Value.
All members that want it are paid
an advance equal to the loan value on
the commodity, at the time Of deliv-
cry. Subsequently they receive in
gradual payments throughout the year
the average price received by all
members of the association for the
particular grade and type of material
which they delivered.
The next principle is organization
upon the largest possible scale. The
organization need not have a monopo-
ly it is handling, but it should be the
largest single. dealer in its particular
field. In other words, it should be big
enough to be watched by other dealers
in the trade for fair prices, just as
in other industries the eyes of the
trade are always turned toward GER
tain leaders.
Farmers Board Governs.
Beyond this, large-scale organiza-
ton is necessary for the greatest eff
ficiency at the lowest cost per capita.
It is only with a comparatively large
scale of organization that the organi-
cation is able to fulfill the fifth and
final requirement of the greatest ex-
perts obtainable to conduct its technic-
al affairs.

The Available Witnesses

The children killed by the italian dread
noughts at Corfu had not been buried before
italian newspapers we're printing stories from
Albania, tending to show the undeniable guilt
of the Greeks, if not the connivance of Greek
GERS. The Greeks were somewhat slow in respond
ing but they have done their utmost to catch up
Three shepherds are now under arrest and deten-
ton as material witnesses. They saw six Alban-
ians commit the crime, and then run away. And
whatever may be thought of this evidence in gen
eral, it is quite as good as the Italian evidence.
Down in Epirus and Albania they take things
to heart. They provide-and this applies to Epi-
rote Greeks and Albanians as well-they provide
whatever is needed for the good of the cause,
whether it is a little shooting or a little eye-wit.
ness evidence. In that part of the world it would
be perfectly easy for both the Italians and the
Greeks to get as many ~eye-witnesses as they
needed to prove their side of the case. No inves-
tigation will ever get far on that line. 1t might
be more profitable to consider the fact that
Italy's action can be defended, if at all, only on
the theory that the Greek government was an
accessory to the murder. But the Greek govern
meDt must have known in advance that such
an outrage would mean trouble for Greece. Why
should it have inspired or permitted it.?
The Albanian government, however, must also
have known that it would mean trouble for
Greece. And for the italian government it pro
vided the necessary pretext, even if a very thin
one, for the seizure of n strategically valuable
island which Italy has long coveted. If there is
ever an inquiry into the responsibility of govern
ments, these facts might be considered. They
may be more pertinent than the TESTIMONY of
eye-witnesses provided to order on either side.

Hundred Acres of
Corn

WRIGHT. = Allen II. Thurman
has for the year of 1929 set a pace
at corn raising that will make
most of the Campbell county farmers
sit up and take notice. During 1922
Mr.. Thurman put in most of the
season blowing, discing and harrow
lug his land. When spring opened
this year he had about 100 acres
really for corn. Most of his acreage
Is ueeded to white dent. although he
has some Is or 20 acres in the re-
liable jehu. All of his corn is good
and those competent to Judge his
crop yield estimate that he will gath.
er at least 1000 bushels of matured
corn frop 100 acres. He has not
cultivated his crop at all but has
kept the land entirely free from
weeds by pulling them. Mr.. Thur.
man is a native of Iowa and learned
how to farm 1T the State Where
the Tall Corn Grows" A hundred
acres of corn in a square Is a nice
sight to see in Wyoming especially
when such field Is filled with such
corn as Thurman has on his place
