COMPARE RESULTS
SUMMER TILLACE

Excellent results have been Sc
cured by the summer tillage pro-
gram in the Divide community as in
dicated by Ben Zimmerman at a
meeting held in that community to
discuss a 1925 program of work. In
reporting on the results of this work
he stated that summer titled crops,
where the land was properly handled,
had averaged % bushels of wheat to
the acre the past three years ard that
he was satisfied that it would con
Time to do SO for some time to come.
The figures upon which Mr.. Zim-
norman based his report were taken
from three representative farmers in
that community who had a total Of
225 acres of summer fallow in 1922
1924 and scattered V e an area Of
ten miles in the community. While
this section Of the county does not
look like, from all appearances, the
garden spot of the county, it is evil
dent it is very productive and 1t IS
further evident that there are thous-
ands of vacant acres just as pro

LOCAL DAIRY PRODUCTS
FOR 9 MONTHS $4,000

The amount of butter and butter tat
produced in this country Immediately
surrounding Wolf Point, while not
large compared to figures that can
be shown by older dairy DISTRICTS
reaches a very encouraging total and
indicates that the dairy industry is
gaining a foothold.
w. A. Kurtz, who conducts a cream
station in Wolf Point, informs the
Herald that for the nine months from
January to September inclusive, he
purchased 44,637 pounds of butter
fat and paid for it $14,865. The
average price was just a trifle under
80 cents per pound.
There are several other stations in
the territory including those at the
country stores at Volt and Vida. Be
sides this many farmers prefer to
ship their cream direct On account of
slightly higher price. A considerable
amount of sweet cream is sold to ice
cream factories, eating houses and
private families. and Of course, a
large amount of butter is made by
the housewives.
While there is no certain basis on
which to make an estimate, it is
probable that the total amount of
cream and butter produced and turn
ed into cash in the Wolf Point terri
tory, was in excess of $4,000 for
the nine months under consideration.
A few years ago no ream was sold
except for private consumption and
only a small amount of butter brought
to the stores for sale, which proves
that dairying is decidedly on the in
crease and furnishes another guar
antee of the continued prosperity
of this section.

After due discussion a satisfactory

strangely the words of his second in
auguration address more than four
years later. He said then, in 1912
what he said In 1916--he did not feel
the thrill of triumph. but a sense only
of solemn responsibility.
Day by day we had our conferences
with the President-elect. His answers
TO our questions were general-he
was feeling his way. His first i'm
, pulse was to get away from it all
and think alone. This tendency. not
unlike that of the artist who seeks
! solitude. or the literary genius who
locks himself in his study for unin-
terrupted thought. was noticeable on
later occasions when Mr.. Wilson was
face-to-face with a crisis. When the
LuSitania was sunk he shut himself
off immediately from the hue and cry
of war and detached himself from the
, lighting passion in the very atmos-
phere. Alone on the front seat Of his
automobile, into the woods he fed to
get Il proper perspective on what had
occurred.

Eddie Collins, Of the White Sox,
and Ty Cobb, of the Detroits, had
a talk in Detroit recently about
Babe Ruth. Cobb believes that the
lively ball made Ruth the sensa.
tional batsman he is today. Collins
does not think so and says that
Ruth would be the games greatest

The veteran second basemar is
not among those who believe Their,
is much difference between the
rubber center ball used before the
war and the lively cork center ball
used now. Collins says there Ia
much Improvement in hitting. and
in many instances 1t is, difficult to
tell whether the pronounced in.
crease in hits is due to the ball or
to improved batting ability.
Players do walk into the ball
and swing with greater freedom
than in the old days. Perhaps the
mental attitude that the ball is live.
lier has given the players more con.
fidence.

Just now Shorty" Adams. of the
Cubs, is receiving the lions share
Of attention. They like him at
home and on the road.
shorty" fell heir to a tough Job
last summer, but the way he
tackled the business at hand earned
Tor him the regard of the North
Side fans. All he had to do was
try to fill Charley Hollocher's shoes,
and Holly" is one of the greatest
shortstops in the major leagues.
When Holly returned this season
Adams was 'benched. Later he
broke in at second base when
George Grantham suffered sore
ankle. He worked very we'll there.
He is one our our most valuable
players" said Manager Killefer.
Shorty doesn't make a great deal
OF noise, but he is out there trying
all the time, and you have to like
a ball player of that sort"
Adams is one Of the shortest men
in the big legaues. He has the torso
OF q six-footer, but is shy on legs.
1t is probably his peculiar structure
which has made him so popular with
the patrons. 1t Is strange, but every
time he does something on the Cubs
