WEATHER
HELPS Spring GRAIN
Hot Days of Past Week Helped Wheat
to Ripen and Partially Averts
Danger From Early FrOsts

For the past week the weather in
the Gallatin has been extremely
favorable for farming operations and
with the hot days has come the first
turning color of the spring grain. Be
fore this hot weather there were some
fears lat frost would hurt the spring
grain before it had chance to ma
ture, but at the present time most
of these fears have been dispelled.
With the settling of the weather
the damage done by the storms of the
past month has become more appar-
ent. Not in years has there been so
much lodged spring grain in the Gal
latin. The storms came late to do
much damage to the fall wheat, but
spring wheat, oats and even barley
is everywhere twisted into queer
shapes and fantastic patterns. There
has been no regularity in lodging the
grain. One field or a part of it will
be badly twisted while on an adjoin-
ing farm the wheat or oats will be
standing straight and tall.
The oats suffered more than any
other crops in the hail north of Boze-
man about three weeks ago. Many
oat fields will not yield over so pei
cent and a few are in even worse
shape. Wheat does not seem to have
suffered as much anywhere, though
a partial reason for this is that the
hail hit hardest in the winter wheat
section. where farmers put in oats fol
the spring crop where they sow one
at all.
Threshing has started in the winter
wheat sections, some outfits firing VI
as early as last Thursday and Fri
day. So far the weather has beer
ideal until last evening, when a gentle
shower caused the machines to shut
down, and as it was circus day, mos
of them laid off for the day. Their,
will be nothing to prevent their start
ing again in the morning.
Second crop haying is we'll alon,
on most ranches in the valley, Parti
cularly those where the first cuttin,
was put up at the proper time. Tn
second crop, always lighter than tn
first, is about up to average. Som
farmers complain of a short secon
cutting while with others, who ap
piled their water early, the second GRO
is more than satisfactory.
! Spring grain on the whole look
very promising. North of Bozema
: the crops are above the average an
south and west of the city there ar
many wonderful crops. The man
, thistles in these last named section
have seriously curtailed many crop
and will materially lower the aver
age.
Given a couple of weeks more {
> hot weather and practically all of tn
spring grain will be beyond the dar
ger mark, for much of the wheat an
: barley is now turning rapidly. Oat
: will be later than usual this year, @
! the whole but as yet there is r
L L serious cause for alarm among tt
\ \ oat growers.

ROTARY PICNIC
PLEASES THE BOYS
Over $50 BOzeman Lads are Guests
Of Club at Enjoyable Afternoon

There were about $50 tired, clean,
full, happy boys in Bozeman last
night as a result Cf the picnic ten
dered the lads between 8 and 15 years
old by the Rotary club. The picnic
was held at the Bozeman Hot Springs
and was voted a success, not only by
the boys, but also by the Rotarians
themselves, who enjoyed the after
noon fully as much as any of the
youngsters.
Long before the appointed meeting
time most Of the youths in Bozeman
within the prescribed ages were wait
ing in front of the Rialto theater for
the fun to begin. The courtesy of
Manager McCune provided them with
comedy reel from 1 o'clock until
time to start for the Springs. All
kinds Of conveyances were used to
get the lads out to the Springs, the
most popular Of which was the big
forest service truck, which was crowd
ed with all who could find standing
room, a noisy, happy crowd.
Once at the springs, the first event
was the big ball game. The young
sters had already picked their team
and President Schuyler of the Rotary
appointed Jack Collins to line up q
set of Rotarians to uphold the elders
end. The boys played the game
through with their team intact, but
Manager Collins yanked good many
of his players during the contest.
Everyone expected the game to re-
suit in so many scores that an add
ing machine would be required to to.
tai them, and so it was a real sur
prise that the contest ended in the
close and low score Of 4 to 3 in favol
of the lads. The boys had a splendit
little battery in the persons of jim
Gabriel and Merle Young, and tn,
entire team backed them up to th'
best Of their ability. It was luck il
the main that held own the score o
the youngsters and for the bette
part of the game the old 'boys" o
the club team were helpless befor
the delivery of red-headed Merl
Young.

THREE CIVIC CLUBS
HOLD GOOD Meeting
Many Business Men of City Attend
Joint Session of Rotary, Kiwanis
and Commercial Club.

Jamie" Heron, Chautauqua speak
er and delightful entertainer, and
Prof. Jay WoodwOrth, of Harvard,
were the speakers at one of the most
interesting meetings held for many
months, in which three civic clubs,
the Rotary, the Kiwanis and the
chamber of commerce participated.
No one could hear Mr.. Heron without
carrying away a lot Of good things to
think about, and Professor Wood
worth's explanation of the purpose of
his annual visit to Bozeman and his
talk on local geology was most in
teresting. 1t seemed a coincidence
that the one speaker told of the build
ing Of men through the influence of
the idea behind the Rotary and XII
wants movements while the other dis
cussed the building of this particu
lar part of the world.
Beginning his remarks by taking
off his coat, Jamie" Heron got right
down to first names and plain state
ments in his talk. A speaker pos
sessing unusual magnetism, an easy
delivery and an exceptionally good
grasp of his subject, Mr.. Heron held
his audience from the very first.
Mr.. Heron talked of the relation
/ ship between Rotary, Kiwanis and
the chamber of commerce, illustrating
his different points and urging the
welfare of the chamber of commerce,
not as a business mans organization,
but as something belonging to the en-
tire town. Speaking Of business,
Mr.. Heron said: Business is not
merely making money, but it is an or
ganized effort for serving others"
Mr.. Heron said that men were not
born, but built, and illustrated his
point by pointing out the naturalness
of children, their honesty and trust
in each other. He urged the mem
; bers of the three clubs to emulate tbs
example of the children and likewise
. to apply the Golden Rule to theil
! own business dealings. He pointed
, out that weekly luncheons meant
more than a mere getting together
that the familiarity and friendship
generated at these luncheons made
men act more natural and they coulC
better the see the other fellow
enough to be little enough to be big,
! said Mr.. Heron.
He spoke of Rotary and Kiwani
as being not clubs but movement
a movement that is actually bringing
about national results in raising tn
standards of business. Rotary,
said Jamie" ''is movement tina
3 gets into you and makes you bull
. within yourself"
Mr.. Heron went on to show hi
4 point more clearly by giving littl
$ three-character playlet that deal
n with the principles of Rotary an
o Kiwanis. This was very interesting
e and as Mr.. Heron is an actor of n
mean ability it was greatly enjoyed
Professor Woodwork told tn
meeting of the formations Of roc
:. around the Gallatin, stating that ther
was no place where the geologics
d structure is more interesting and II
s structive than in the mountain

The completing OF this Huffine lane
and Salesville project will give Boze-
man another permanent, hard-sur-
faced highway. The Huffine lane
has long been one of the most large
ly used roads in the county, and part
ly because of this fact it has gener-
ally been in very bad condition.
Right now it is full of pot holes and
ruts so that it is impossible to make
any time with a car. This road
drains the entire West Galatin coun-
try and its completion as an all-year-
road will mean a great deal to the
business men of BoZeman.
