October was the biggest month

cOrding to figures recently given
out by G. @. Kuhn, chief dispatch
err of the Great Northern railway.
During October 729 cars Of stock

brought the total for the year to
1882 cars, slightly over the same
number hauled last year during the
same period.
Although cattle shipments to
date have been slightly smaller this
year than for a corresponding period
last year, sheep shipments have
shown a slight increase, it being es-
timated that more than 100 more
cars of sheep have been shipped this
year than last.
October was also the Largest grain
shipping month of the season and
1000 cars were loaded during the
month on that division. This sea

Pure Seed Show to be Held

state, and in connection with the seed
improvement being carried on by the
association and the Montana State
College Extension Service.
The annual Pure Seed show is
considered one of the important ed
ucational agents in the state in bring
ing directly to the farmer, the value
of pure seed. The exhibits there are
truly representative of the grain as
it m from the field and, accord
ing to the rules of the show, must be
identical with grain in the bin. The
grain and seeds on exhibit have been
grown according to the rules of the
Montana Seed Growers association,
have passed rigid inspections of the
association, and before it is sold as
registered seed it must be inspected
again and marketed in sealed bags
properly labeled and graded.
The aim of the Pure Seed show
and the Montana Seed Growers as
ISOLATION is to improve the seed being
planted in Montana to replace the
common ordinary seed that is being
used with pure seed. The method is
to demonstrate to the farmer the
value of pure seed from the stand
point of higher yields, better quality
product, freedom from weed seed
and Objectionable matter, and all
around dependability. 1t is contend
ed that much of the grief and dock
age losses that have come to the
older growing sections of the coun-
try can be avoided in Montana if
farmers will plant pure seed that is
free from weed seeds.
An additional angle to the work of
the Montana Seed Growers associa-
ton and its annual pure seed show |
is the encouragement of the product
ton of pure seed for market. One
of the finest developments along
this line in recent years in Montana
has been the production of register
ed Grimm alfalfa seed. This bust
ness is soundly organized in many
sections of the state and is providing
lucrative business for the farmers
engaged in it. Last year in one
alone $4,000 worth Of
Grimm and Cossack alfalfa seed was
exported by farmers. The produc-
lion Of this seed and it's marketing
S carried on under the direction of
he Montana Seed Growers associa-
ion and it is sold under the associ-
atoms label.

JUDGE WEBB WINS PLAUDITS
OF WATAUCANS
Civil Calendar Continued Until Spe
cial Term to Be Held in June
Twenty Three Cases on State Docket
Tried in Two and One Half
Days-Complete Proceeding.

Despite the unusually bad March
weather large number of the peo-
pie of the surrounding territory were
on hand Monday when Watauga Su-
perior court convened, to hear the
Judges charge and see the thing
start off in good shape. Judge Webb
presided.
Perhaps because he himself is a
western North Carolina man, unusual
numbers heard him charge the grand
jury. Among other routine instruc-
tions the jurist slipped in the theory
that the smartest men in the world
are in the mountains of this section.
and that "it is eminently fitting that
up among the sturdy oaks and the
towering poplars should grow the
mightiest and best of men," The
charge was most comprehensive and
complete, covering every phase Of
the criminal law, and brought forth
more favorable comments than any
charge delivered in Watauga court
for many years. Really the people
here "fell in love" with the Judge.
A man of mighty intellect, firm with
out trace of cruelty, as immovable
in his convictions as these eternal
hills of his, and melting out without
fear or favor, justice tempered with
mercy. 1t may have been that his
peers have held courts here, but it
cannot be remembered when grea-
ter man has been sent to decide the
fate of those few who have been SO
unfortunate as to viloate the laws of
the country. We do not intend to
leave the impression that Judge Webb
is the man who 'lets you down easy
He does not He deals with offenders
firmly, yet at the same time carries
out the true spirit >of the law, which
is to presume that all men are inno-
cent until their guilt can be establish
ed. He looks upon unfortunates as
human beings, not as mere victims,
he wants them to have a chance if
they are worth it, and it is generally
predicted that this term of the Su-
perior court has done more toward
breaking up lawlessness than any pre-
viously held here. The people here
love Judge Webb, and are looking
forward to the day when the great
and good man shall return. Twenty
three cases were disposed of on the
criminal docket in two days and a
half. The usual time consumed on a
docket of this size is five to six days.
