Demand for Montana Seed Corn

H. f. DePue, Richland county
agent, has issued warnings to local
corn growers that they must immedi-
ately take steps to geet their 1924
seed. This is necessary, he says, on
account of the large amount of corn
seed being shipped out, principally to
Wyoming points, some to Nebraska.
He says that unless Richland coun-
ty farmers get into the game quickly,
they will have to use common seed
for their paintings. According to
Mr.. DePue, this is one of the hidden
dangers of making displays and win
ming prizes at the big fairs, such as
the Midland Empire and Montana
State.
Mr.. DePue, who is one of the corn
authorities of Montana, is of the
opinion that this section will always
be corn seed district because of the
necessarily early maturing varieties.
States to the south of Montana will
want early seed in order that it may
be used to feed stock to beat other
sections to the markets. Montana
seed, when taken south, will in a
year or so become southern seed and
lose its early maturity, he says. Hence
northern seed will be in demand in
southern states every yeaor.

in the past. That trouble is
over. The completion of the
$24, 100000 pipe line from
Casper to Kansas City means
that practically all the Wy
oming oil will go east. Here
tofore Wyoming has g1utted
the Canadian markets to the
detriment of Kevin-Sunburst
producers. Now every bar
rel of Keyin-Sunburst crude
will have a ready market in
Canada and in local refin-
cries, at advancing prices.
This means that every 20
barrel well in the North
Country will be pumped at
a fat profit, while a 10O-bar-
rel well will be a gold mine,

SURFACED ROAD
FOR BIG HORN.
EIGHTEEN MILES WILL COST
100000; COUNTY TO
PAY $4,000.
Federal Government to Pay $780,
900; Will Extend From Custer
Battlefield to Lodge Grass; Con-
meets With Wyoming Road.

The board of county commission
ers of Big Horn county met with the
state highway engineer a few days
ago to consider the matter of the
construction of another section of
hard surface roadway. The proposed
section is a part of the Custer Bat
tlefield highway, extending from the
battlefield to Lodge Grass, distance
of Is miles and costing approx
mately 100000. 1t was decided to
build this section which will be done
as soon as the preliminary work can
be done and right of way secured.
County to Pay Small Share
OF the estimated cost of 100000,
the county will only be required to
furnish around $4,000. The feder-
al government stands the greater
portion of the cost of this road, which
is entirely within the Crow Indian
reservation. The county stands At
per cent of the cost of the roadway,
adjacent to patented land, but these
lands are almost entirely held by the
Indians.
To Complete Stretch
During the last season a contract
was awarded to Wickham Bros. &
Schweiger, for the construction of
the first section extending from the
Big Horn river bridge to the Custer
battlefield, and which is about rs
per cent completed. This stretch
which will be completed as soon as
the weather conditions will permit, is
of gravel, Material for the building
is found near the new road, and with
modern methods of construction, will
be fully up to the standard.
There will be two new steel bridg-
es necessary in the new contract
across the Little Horn river south
of Garry Owen, and several railroad
crossings will be eliminated. 1t is
expected that the Custer Battlefield
highway will be made into a CRAWL
led roadway as rapidly as the work
can be done. This covers the entire
distance from the Big Horn to the
Wyoming state line, a distance of
about 60 miles, following the line
of the Burlington railroad, but elm
mating railroad crossings.

of that organization following his adj
mittance to the bar, he attended in
order to, as he thought, make trans
fer of his books and records to who
ever was chosen as his successor. He
had no opportunity to do so, however,
because he was renominated. At that
point he arose and expressed his APP
probation and gratitude but insisted
that the office of secretary of the
press association should be filled by
one who was actively connected with
the newspaper business. Whereupon
he was unanimously reelected, it be-
ing the sense of the convention that
inasmuch as the association had never
before had secretary who would an
swer a letter, that it would be pre-
posterous to change just because the
incumbent had quit the game for the
profession of law.
Makes Little Speech
Mr.. Peterson has made a little
speech at every press convention for
the last 10 years, reciting in plain
tive tone that some one active in the
newspaper business should be elected
to the office of secretary. Each time
he has been unanimously reelected
and upon several occasions the cleo
ton was for life. 1t has reached the
point where the annual press conven-
ton, if it has time, re-elects him each
year, not as matter of routine bust
ness, but as sort of ceremony. If
time presses, however, when the cleo
ton of officers has proceeded as far
as secretary, some one gets up and
says, II move we adjourn" And they
adjourn.
And Mr.. Peterson takes the books
back home with him for another year.
