SAYS EASY DIVORCE
 IS LIKE FREE LOVE
NOT ANY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FRIVOLOUS MARRIAGE AND
 LACK OF TT, CHARGE

COLUMBUS, Ohio, May 23-Con- tention that there is mo real differ ence between divorce being granted for the mere asking, as it is, practical ly, today, and men and women living together without marriage" was made here by Rev. Dr. P. H. Murdick, pastor ' of King Avenue M. E. church.
 "Every time an anarchist or some writer, advocates free love, terrible hue and cry rises from all the decent people of the land Yet, in the tremen- dous growth of the divorce habit, is not the nation rushing toward it as fast as it would come by popular con- sent ?" Rev. Dr. Murdick inquired.
 Many will say: It is horrible that two persons who have ceased to love each other should be compelled to live together. We know it. Our sympathy goes out to the unhappy pair. But, what about our nation? What about our homes? What about our little children? Have they no rights?
 What about religion? Is marriage no longer sacred thing? Has it fall en to the level of a business transac- tion? If that is all, the home is shattered and the national life is then doomed, for the nation rests on homes, not in individuals.
 Everybody knows that two-thirds of the required causes for divorce such as cruelty, desertion and non-support, are nothing but pretexes, often agreed upon by both parties. It is so easy that men and women are not stopping to consider whether they are fit for each other or not; whether they wish to live together or not, but rush into marriages as lightly as in Paris, two members of the Latin quarter go and live together for time.
 "There is a wave of loose thinking abroad. Families should practice Christian patience, forbearance and forgiveness. Love has to be tempered with religion, as do all other things to run smoothly, and divorces would be reduced almost half. It is signlt1- cant thing, if it is true, that few d. vorces ever come from homes engaged in actice church connections or Chris tian service"

Livestock Big Help
Mr.. Randall points to one notable
success he found on his trip, in the
case of a farmer who four years ago
was mortgaged to a bank for every
thing he possesses. He started with
two brood sows and a few COWS and
flock of turkeys, and in 1928 his in
come from the b%y-products of his
farm amounted to $1,800, he and his
wife doing all the work, and employ
ing no hired help. Although he had
a good crop, he had not, up until jan
uary 10, hauled a single bushel of
grain to market. There are now a
million bushels of grain being held
in storage in elevators along the Mil
waukee by the farmers, awaiting a
favorable change in the market stu
alton. The livestock is looking fine
throughout this territory due to the
open winter and plentitude of feed,
while on every farm visited Mr.. Ran
dali reports having found hay, corn
in well filled cribs, and hogs and
poultry in abundance.

EXPERIMENTS WITH
TREBI BARLEY
BY f. e. MacSPADDEN
County Agent, Cascade County


"HE farms of Montana are the
final testing grounds for all new
"a plant varieties that are DEVELOPED
in this state and on this testing
ground trebi barley is conclusively
proving it's worth.
In the test work carried on in Cas-
cade county last year under the dir
ection of the Montana Extension SER
vice, trebi barley has we'll upheld the
records established in experiment
station and other farm tests. One
of the demonstrators of trebi barley
in Cascade county, R. A. Brookings,
planted a test plot of two and three
quarters acres to registered trebi bar
ley at the rate of So pounds to the
acre. Records of the work show the
seed was planted June 8 and plants
came up June IL. The field received
ed September ~. The total yield
of 54.5 bushels. The straw was 80
inches long.
Leroy Kirby, another demonstra-
tor of registered trebi, planted four
and a half acres to this crop on May
4 at the rate of go pounds to the acre.
Plants came up May II. The field
ripened August Z and was harvested
August 10. The yield was 46.5 bu-
shells per acre and straw 40 inches
long.
]. K. Hill planted 10 acres of ap-
proved trebi seed on May IL, using
two bushels to the acre. The field
came up June 1 and ripened Septem-
Der 8. The harvest showed a yield
of 25.2 bushels per acre with straw
SO inches in length.
E. A. Smock planted one and a half
acres to approved trebi at the rate
of so pounds per acre. The records
of this field showed that it came up
April 20, ripened August Is, and in
of the fact that the field was
hailed down, yielded 80 bushels to
acre and had straw AZ inches
Long.
These demonstrations, while not
conclusive in themselves, are in &C |
cordance with other results obtained
in this and other states and but add |
support to the opinion that trebi is
0ne of the big finds in the plant
world during recent years.
The history of trebi barley is in
eresting not only for itself but be-
it is typical of the history of :
many other superior plants that have !
'een introduced into the farming 4
ystems of this country. Trebi was
Introduced into this country from i

ing operations and practice intense

Growing More Corr
Farmers are growing more corr
each year, and those who a couple OF
years ago had only one or two brood
sows, this year have from 10 to 20,
and n farmer with whom Randall
talked has 40 sows.
In 1922 there were only 325 car
loads of hogs shipped over the Mil
waukee from this territory, while the
year 1928 saw $50 cars of hogs ship
ped out. The farmers are all in bet
ter condition, and while cash is scarce
the farmers have been progressing
financially, have been paying the in
terest on their loans and most of
them have paid a part of the princi-
pal the last year.
The flax acreage will be increased
this year and some will be planted on
old ground.
During the winter of 1922 some of
the farmers were disheartened and
many seemed not to care whether
they had any credit left or not, but
this winter this attitude has COM
pletely changed, and the farmers are
now anxious to improve their credit,
are paying off their Indebtedness,
and are turning to farm livestock
and poultry as the best means of do
ing it, having found by their own ex-
perience that business methods are
needed in farming as in any other
of industry.
To BE More Building
At one place where Mr.. Randall
where the grain crop had
been short for several years, he dis
covered that n farmer has produc-
corn with success every year and
his neighbors are now interested. AT
three points on the Milwaukee, Buff
ialo Springs, Terry and Miles City,
custom corn Smelling machines have
been installed since asst fall; there is
vice as much building material be-
ng shipped in nov as a year ago, and
here is much more farm machinery

the work of testing this variety under
