LEADING CORN GROWER
TO TALK ON METHODS
Hartwick, Of Meridetr, To Address
Farmers' Meetings For The
Extension Service

Tolley HGrdwick, of Merideth, one Of
Montanas leading corn growers, has
again accepted the call of the farmer
of Montana and from the middle of
February until the middle Of March
VIII be back in the employ of the
Montana Extension Service telling his
methods Of taking the backache out
Of corn growing" Mr.. Hartwick was
engaged In a similar work last spring.
His message is thoroughly practical
and the types of corn that he advocates
and the methods used In planting, cul-
tivatIng and harvesting have been
worked out to meet Montana condi-
tons.
The meetings that have been SEIZED
uled for him are:
Sheridan county, February IA to IS.
Roosevelt county, February 10
aichland county, February 2O-21.
Fallon county, February 1926.
Yellowstone county, March /.
Fergus county, March 3.
Judith Basin county, March 4.
Cascade county, March 3.

tive).
In his message Mr.. Hartwick advo-
oates n low growing, slender stalked
corn which grows rapidly and natures
quickly and Is especially adapted to
being harvested with live stock. He
does not believe that man should waste
his time harvesting corn when hogs
can do II much better.

COYOTES ARE KILLING
MANY GAME ANIMALS
Government Hunters Stationed In Sun
River County 20 Check
Deprsdatlons

Until the mountain lions there are
disposed OF, Curtis Matteson and Roy
Vance hunters Of predatory animals
Tor the biological survey, win remain
m the Sun River district, although the
opinion Of LfSsd Thompson, assistant
predatory animal inspector, who. with
Matteson and Vance, killed four Of
the animals recently, the number OF
lions in that district has been over
estimated.
Thompson considers it improbable
that many lions would stray from the
game country on the Flathead and
Swan rivers. Those there now were
probably unable to get back over the
mountains after the deep snow.
Matteson and Vance are two Of the
three lion hunters now employed by
the biological survey in Montana. C.
r. Beebe, who is stationed in the ter
rltory surrounding Columbia Falls,
holds the state record In the number
of kills. He Is now In his third winter
and has 40 lions to his credit.
, Government reports state that a
mountain lion will kin an average OF
100 elk or large foraging animals In a
year Thompson thinks this estimate
is high.
Coyotes are causing more damage to
game than any other animal, he says. !
They have forsaken their former |
haHHts on the prairie and In the foot I
hills for the mountains, where they |
yearly kill large amount. OF game.
During the winter Of 1921-1922, It
wars estimated. coyotes killed 1900
game animals in the Thompson river
country, a territory 33 miles long and
.hree miles wide. This was nearly as
much game as was killed by hunters
n the entire state that year.
