SEMI MONTHLY CROP
NOTES FOR MONTANA

Practically the entire state has beer
favored with good rains and showers
during the latter part of May. which
have improved crop conditions gen
orally, according to a report issued
by the Montana Cooperative Crop
and Livestock Reporting Service.
Continued cool weather has not per-
mitted maximum growth, but such
conditions especially have favored
termination and stooling of wheat.
Recent rains have relieved the drv
areo along the Canadian line from
Cut Bank to Poplar, with a few ex-
cepted localities. Crops are farthest
advanced in the three northwestern
cunties and along the Yellowstone
valley toward the eastern part of the
state.
G%rasshoppers are Matching out in
millions in all sections of the state.
and have begun to dan age crops in
the northcentral section already. the
hopper menace is causing much I'M
easiness, and while poison campaigns
against the hoppers are started, in
some sections it is feared that this
method cannot control them at a
reasonable cost.
Winter wheat is improving and is
making fair growth, but still is in
poor condition.
Rye remains generally in poor
as the bulk of the rye acreage
is in the no~rthcentral and northeast
ern districts, where there has not
been sufficient moisture. In other
sections it is reported to be doing well
although rather late.
Spring wheat seeding has contin-
led throughout May, due to the late
labor shortage and to some ex-
to late abandonment of winter
wheat fields.
Oats and barley are mostly seeded {
lnder favorable conditions of moist
Ire and weather. l
Flax is being seeded and should
terminate quickly and uniformly.
Corn planting continues, but most
If the crop is seeded. Some early
paintings are up, but the weather has

nent of the corn.
Sugar beet fields are practically all {
and thinning has begun. !
Potato planting is well along. :
Fruit prospects re good, especially :
n the Bitter Root valley. j
Livestock are improving and condi- =
ions have not been unfavorable for !
he young lambs, calves and pigs, and :
God crops are reported to be quite =
%eneral, with losses light. :
The farm labor situation has gen =

ROOSEVELT COUNTY HAS
10000 ACRES OF CORN

According to the estimate of diff
ferent crop project leaders and ac-
cording to the corn already enrolled
in the corr enrolment campaign, it
looks as though Roosevelt county has
about 10000 acres of corn planted
for this years crop. This is an in
crease of several times over last years
acreage and is a good assurance of
the confidence of the farmers in corn
production. All the corn that has
been planted has sufficient moisture
and weather conditions have been
for good start.

IT'S. STAR QUARTERBACK

Mack McMains, star quarterback

missing from the lineup next sea.
son. He has been discharged and
has expressed his intention of Civ.
ing up directing the charges OF
Goettge, to return to his home In
California and take up fruit grow
ing.
Mack formerly played with the
California Golden Bears and joined
the Marine team two seasons ago,
playing his first game against
Georgetown last year. His coming
was a great boost to the Marine
team and he has played stellar
football.
He is especially dependable in
pinches, his splendid Judgment and
broken field running often bringing
victory where defeat threatened.
His going will be a severe blow
to the team and will place the
position upon Goettge, who has
played at the quarter in a few
games this season.
Mack is well liked by every
Marine in the corps and we will
certainly miss his 100 pounds of
happy humor," said Capt. Leroy p.

day.

RUTH HAS GREAT
TIME NTH KID
ELEMENT
Recent Transforming Trip
Brought Him II Contact
With American Boy"

Making due allowances for ex-
aggeFati0n OF press agents and the
boys in general, Babe
Ruth seems to have had the time
Of his life among the kids out on
his recent transforming tour
through the, towns Of New York
and Pennsylvania.
The Babe plays no favorites. In
one town he hit a home run over
the fence. Al small boy brought
the ball in and offered it to Ruth
for his signature-th boy planned
to keep the ball. At the same time
the promoter Of a. Y. NJ. G. A. drive
butted in and asked for the ball to
be auctioned to raise funds for the
Y.
Babe held q short whispered
conference with the lad. 1t seemed
to be satisfactory, for the boy gave
up the ball and accepted from Ruth
a five-dollar bill in exchange. while
the Y. M. C.. A. man carried off the
battered sphere.
In one town they told Ruth a
boy was sick and couldn't get out
to see him play-would he please
make the lad happy b. visiting him
at his bedside. They have pulled
that on the Babe before. but he
didn't mind. Out he went to see the
kid, who really was sick, patted his
cheek, shook his hand, gave him a
baseball, and hustled back to play
the ball game.
It's all in Babe Ruth's life and
he likes it-and it makes fans out
of thousands of kids. Babes worth
his pay just for that.

BROKE
IN WITH old
SENATORS
Smiling Wild Bill" Had a
Career Which Was a Credit
to the Game.

The death Of ''WiId Bill" Donovan,
who was killed in the wreck of the
Twentieth Century Limited early
yesterday morning as he was going
to the Chicago baseball meeting,
brought to a close an illustrious base
ball career-one that has helped in a
great measure to make the national
game what it is today. Bill Donovan
was a graduate Of the Park Spar
rows, Of the sand lots of Philadel-
phia. beginning his professional ca
reer in 1895 at Pawtucket, r. I. He
played with Waterbury, Richmond
and Hartford and once ran off
string Of thirteen straight victories
while in the Eastern League.
His initial big league assignment
was with the Washington club, then
in the National League, winning one
game and losing six. He was with
Brooklyn from 1899 to 1902, jump
ing to the Detroit Tigers, with whom
he remained until 1913, when he was
given his unconditional release to
manage the Providence club. 1t was
with the Tigers that "Wild Bill" won
his greatest fame-his pitching was
a big factor in bringing the pennants
to Detroit in 1907, 1908 and 1909.
The big leagues were once again
graced with Donovan's big smile in
1916 and 1917, while he was manager
or the Yankees and again with the
Phillies in 1921. Obstacles in both
instances were Of insurmountable
character. In the interim he was
with the Jersey City club, and the
last two years he had directed the
New Haven club, of the Eastern
League, with great success, bringing
the pennant there in 1922. wild
BIZ" signed last week for another
year with the Elm City club, but it
was understood the owner would not
stand in his way If big league op-
portunity offered itself. And it is
extremely probable that such an of.
fer was awaiting in Chicago.

Sikh isn't familiar with the work

he is generous to fault, and when
he was told that he was wanted to
box for this worthy cause he grin,
ned and good naturally shook his
head In assent.
The big show on December IL

those prices the ringside seats are

such an excellent one that speca-
tors are predicting the sidewalk
prices will be double that OF the
box office.
Johnny Dundee and Jack Bern
stein. principals in the main
event, are both training faithfully.
Dundee works every afternoon at
StiIlman's gymnasium. He has
melted off six pounds in the last
few days, and expects to be at
the weight q week before the
fight.
This will be no exhibition bout.
No stree. It's for a title-the jun
ior lightweight championship-and
there is plenty nr feeling between
Dundee and Bernstein.
Dundee has always claimed that
ne was the victim Of q most un-
just ruling when he was adjudgej
the loser in fifteen-round bout
with Bernstein at the New York
Velodrome last May. In fact, he
was convinced that he had been
jobbed in some way, for he had
put Bernstein down for a count
in an early round and though ne
tired later, he finished in good
shape. No other local fighter has
ever had Bernstein on the floor
for a count.
The fact that this decision re-
heved Dundee of the junior light
weight championship - the only
title he ever owned until he whip
ped Eugene Criqui for the world 8
IeatherWeight title Iater-did not
increase the entente cordiale be-
tween Johnny and Bernstein.
The new titlehOIder promised
dundee return match, but has
consistently ignored Johnny until

ture.
