Roosevelt County
Claims Is, 1000 BusheI
Of Registered Seed

Poplar, Aug. 23.-As a result Of the
purebred seed work started in 1920,
1t is estimated that Roosevelt county
tins fall will have for distribution 49,
QUO bushels of registered seed and an
proximately 10000 bushels of an
proved seed.
/. }. Jensen Of the state seedgrow-
ers' association was most favorably
impressed by the high quality Of
standard varieties that are being de-
veloped.
The only difference between regis
tered and approved seed is that the
registered fields are inspected each
year and the approved fields are raised
by farmers without inspection for
their own use and the selling Of some
seed to a few neighbors.
Undoubtedly farmers will 90 to the
registered growers to obtain a small
quantity Of seed for their own crop
and when it runs out or becomes mix
ed they 20 back and obtain more from
the registered grower
The registered grower is required
to rogue his field of the varieties and
mixtures that can be cleaned out and
iNelibiy ne IDS Lile ilRue0S type
of field that can be raised, says d. r.
Noble, county agent, and for this con-
troll work and trouble he is given the
privilege Of charging enough extra
for, his seed to pay for the extra work
and trouble.
The extension service and the farm
bureau hope to build up a seed pro-
cram here that viii put the quality of
Roosevelt county seed Of a standard
variety 70 the top.
The following is a list of registered
growers pending registration at the
present time: Canada Marquis Wheat

WORKERS PARTY
MOVING TO CHICAGO

CHICAGO The Workers party
announces plans for starting a daily
propaganda paper, and for the remov-
al Of party headquarters from New
York City to Chicago. The reason for
this change of party headquarters,
which has been under consideration
for the past six months, is stated to
be the various advantages to be de-
rived from a central location, in the
way of closer connection with sur
rounding districts and consequent les
sening Of expenses.
The daily newspaper will be inau-
gurated as soon as possible after Sep
TENDER LIST, at which time the Chicago
headquarters are expected to be in
operation. For the financing of this
daily newspaper a stock company will
be Incorporated, with shares at So
each, and ell members Of the party
will be asked to purchase at least one
share Of this stock. Also the proceeds
OF various mass meetings, entertain
ments, excursions, picnics, etc, will be
applied to the daily newspaper fund.
and in each party unit "Daily
Worker" committee will function in
the carrying out of an intensive sub
scnptlon campaign for the daily paper
AT its last meeting the executives of
the party officially approved utilization
with the recently formed Federated
t2rmer-Labor party.

1928 POTATO
CROP SHORT
POTATO GRADING AROUSING
MORE INTEREST AS PRICE
PROSPECTS BRIGHTEN.

With this seasons potato crop es-
timated by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture considerably be-
low the average crop for the five year
period of 1917 to 1921 inclusive, and
Montana's crop estimated at million
bushels less than a year ago, Montala
growers are displaying considerable
more interest in marketing matters
than they did a year ago.
Because of the brighter prospects
and the chance of getting fancy prices
for quality stuff, potato men Of this
state are evincing more than usual IN
terest in the potato grading demon
strations that will be a feature Of the
Montana State Fair at Helena Sep
TENDER 1928 inclusive.
The bulk Of the potatoes that find
their way into commercial channels
are now being marketed in accordace
with federal grades and regulations.
Because Montana is a comparatively
new producer commercially, less at
tention has been given this phase Of
the matter and in many instances,
Notwithstanding the generally super
ior quality of the Montana product,
it has not received the premium to
which it was entitled. The potato
grading demonstrations at the state
fair will give growers an opportunity
to learn how they should sort and
grade to give them the widest market
ing opportunities.

Northern Montana Corn Show

Northern Montana Corn Show
The second annual Northern Mon
tana Corn Show to be held at Chinook
| Nov 1910 promises to eclipse even
the grand show of last year as is in
dicated by splendid progress made by
the corn in the North Montana empire
during the past few weeks. There
are many fields of corn that will soon
be out Of danger of frost and an UNI
precedented amount of good corn is
! assured.
Reports from the counties interested
in the show are already making plans
to send record exhibits both in num-
Der and quality far superior to any
thing ever attempted. Roosevelt
County is enviOus of maintaining her
reputation established last year when
it carried off the hOnors in the county
collection exhibits and is anxious to
repeat. Farmers Of Valley County
are planning to overthrow this repu-
tation by sending three hundred ex-
hibits of corn that will be hard to beat
and to win again in pure grain, grass
es and forage crops. Phillips County
long considered as the premier corn
county Of the north and boasts of the
largest corn acreage of any county Of
Montana, will occupy an important
place at the Corn Show and is sure to
take q just share Of honors. Blaine
County will again DO its best to send
to the show and the individual sweep
stake exhibit and retain the most COW
eted prize of the entire show. Z. G.
Miller Of Harlem, winner Of this cup
last year and a seasoned corn grower
is sure to give credit to his ability to-
grow corn by a strong bid to win the
sWeepstake cup the second time. This
prize must be won three times in sue
cession for permanent possession.
The premium lists will be printed
soon and distributed to all the corn
growers Of Northern Montana An
increase Of approximately 300 per cent
in the acreage Of corn is reported
over this entire empire. This increase
is sure to make the Northern Montana
corn show the best of its kind in the
Northwest.
Let US all get together and have a
good exhibit from Sheridan county.
Several communities in the county
are planning Community Fairs this
fall where corn will especially be fea-
tured. The details will be given out
later.
Last spring the corn growers Of the
county bought a great deal of seed
corn outside of the county. 1t was
commendable that so much corn was
planted; but it would have been still
better if this seed corn had been
raised in the county. There are at
least two reasons why It is better to
use home grown seed az Good home
grown seed thorOly acclimated is al
ways more dependable than seed from
some other region. (2) The money
paid out will stay in the county.
This year we have a number of
good corn fields throughout the coun- |
ty. Seed should be selected from these |
fields so that a source Of seed corn
supply could be developed within the
county. The county agent office will
gladly furnish information on proper
methods of selecting, storing, and
testing seed corn.

YEOMEN HOME AT
FLATHEAD LAKE
FRATERNAL ORDER MAY Ey-
PEND 5000, 900 ON ORPHAN
AGE ON LAKE SHORE
VIII Acquire From 1900 to 1000
Acres, Partly Wooded, for This In
stitution; Flathead Lake Country
Thought to Be Ideal.

On beautiful Flathead lake near
Kalispell may be located the i'm
mense SIS, 100000 orphans home
contemplated by the Brotherhood
of American Yeomen.
Il This fact developed recently dur
ing talk by George Frink, ma
tional president of the Yeomen,
at luncheon given in his honor
recently in Butte.
President Frink and other ma
tional officers are on a tour of the
country, investigating more than
500 sites that have been offered
| for the proposed home. The Kalis-
pell lodge is urging that favorable
attention be given the site pro-
posed by them.
From all parts of the country We
have received offers of sites, but we
are holding off in an effort to secure
the most ideal spot possible" de-
clared President Frink.
Because of the size of the institu-
ton it will be necessary for us to ac-
quire between 1900 and 1000 acres
of land. This land, however, must
be partially wooded and partially
cleared. A portion of it must also
lie in the hills, while the remainder
must be fertile farming land
To Operate Huge Farm.
The reason for this is because the
immense farm must offer recrea-
tional possibilities for the thousands
of youngsters it will house besides
being made self-sustaining to a GER
tain extent.
The farm will contain schools,
homes for the children, big audi
forum and every other feature that
is necessary to assure the proper
physical and mental development of
the young charges.
In laying out the plans for the in
stitution, President Frink declared
they are not building for today, but
for hundred years from now. 1t is
planned to have the site selected by
June Is and Immediately thereafter
plans will be under way for the cree
ton of the buildings.
The site proposed by the Kalispell
lodge is situated on the west side of
the Flathead lake. A portion of the
grounds extend down to the lake
shore, while the remainder stretches
back across several hundred acres of
rich flaming land and deep into the
mountains. 1t offers all the possibil-
tiles desired by the national officers,
it is declared.
Referring to their work among
boys and girls, President Frink de-
clared they we're endeavoring to get
hold of them at an early age in or
der that they may lay a sound foun-
dalton for their education and char
acter.
Of the thousands of boys and girls
who go wrong every year, he said, no
less than 80 per cent of them are vic
Tins of the wrong kind of influence
at home.
