ON HOLDING A MAN
By Marceline d'Alroy

BY Marceline d'Alroy
Why does a MAN want
The WOMAN he can't get?
Is it because MOST MEN want
What LOOKS NICE-and as yet
He has not had the PROOF
That she ISN'T
What HE thought
PRETTY WOMEN are often
Light as air and difficult to grasp.
They are like a RAINBOW
Delicate, curved, softly tinted;
They seem to be real, YET,
After MARRIAGE the charm
Their beauty promised
Seldom materializes.
Some women are heavy
And cumbersome, with the
Stability Of good-sized mountain;
MEN don't usually MARRY THEM
Like THIS-they get that way
AFTERWARDS but it doesn't seem
To matter
For their heart is 20 BIG,
Their lAugh 20 JOLLY,
And they COOK such
Excellent food that they
TAME their HUSBANDS
And keep them that way.

FARM WIFE STRIKES FOR
WAGES AND GETS-LEF1

Way down in Kansas--It might as
well have been some other state-the
wife of farmer last week struck for
81 day. contending that standing
over hot stove cooking meals for
farm hands besides her family is
worth a farm hands wages--A day.
Does she get it? Apparently not, for
hubby has started divorce proceedings.
The poor boob. Wait till he has to
hire woman to take friend wife's
place. He'll pay the 81 day, all
right. And on the other hand, the
wife can get job cooking for some
body else-and incidentally get paid
for It. What II all the Gunnison

the best grain types for that area
then there is demonstration of
the superiority of certain types
throughout the county that every
farmer may see results with his
own eyes; third, there is the grow
ing of the supply of this pure seed
and the continuation of the supply
through approved growers. In
this third class one finds members
of the Montana Seed Growers as
sociation.
One other little side business of
the Seed Growers association is
worthy of comment. 1t is foster
ing interest in pure seed by grain
judging contests. A. H. Stafford,
a Boezman farmer, won the 1924
seed growers medal as the best
grain judge at the Farmers short
course at Bozeman; Fred Weather
son of Columbus won the open
competition for all farmers and was
given a medal; Cecil Ashley of
Hil1crest won the medal offered the
best grain judge in the boys and
girls clubs of the state; E. J. Bell
of Wibaux won the contest among
the students at Montana State col
lege; Johannes Peterson of Crane
won the medal offered to students
in the State college short courses.

sociation is growing, and growing

agricultural progress of the state
one might almost say that it IS
leading the agricultural progress.
In the same paragraph it must be
pointed out hat Fred Sumner has
been president of the association
since its beginning. His interest
in the association, his own earnest
efforts in producing only the finest
quality seed, and his personal in
fluence with other seed growers of
Montana have been strong factors
in the continued success of the or
ganization.
The present officers of the asso-
citation are: President, F. c. Sum-

N GOD SEED does not Gust
happen along" In the last
~ few weeks Montana news
paper readers have been stirred to
enthusiasm by reports of the win
nings of Montana grains and
grasses at the Chicago Interna-
tional Hay and Grain show. These
winnings have given Montana a
definite leadership among Ameri-
can states in the growing of high
quality small grains. And the av-
erage Montanan, reading the re-
ports that went over the state,
probably sat back and praised his
state, its soil, its climate and its
type of farming. Too many read
ers have failed to search for the
fact behind these winnings, to
learn the why" and the chow" of
Montana's indisputable small grain
leadership. Many thought the seed
winnings just happened that way.
Back of these years of great win
nings at Chicago, back of the un-
precedented showing of Montana
grains at the Oklahoma Dry Farm
ing congress and again at the Pan
anna Pacific exposition in 1915,
stands body of Montana farmers
who call themselves the Montana
Seed Growers association. For
the sake of quick conclusion it
may be said here that this organi-
zation has done more to place Mon
tana at the head in small grain
farming than have all other fac
tors combined. Without state aid,
without wide publicity or general
statewide recognition, this body of
men, under the leadership of state
college experts in agronomy, has
been slowly but surely improving
the quality and type of Montana's
grains until this state now stands
The circle banner., 1924-02-15
Organized in 1912

1t may be said that good seed
growers have been in Montana ever
since agriculture first started here
and that certain individuals have
always been improving and select
ing seed. But it was in 1912 that
the seed growers association was
started. 1t was not an auspicious
start, for the membership rolls for
that year were short. Alfred At
kinson, since elected president of
the State college at Bozeman, was
the first secretary, and other Off
GERS were Fred Sumner of Clyde
Park, Pat Carney of Waterloo, I.
ID. O'Donnell of Billings and Jim
Griffin of Chinook. In 1928 the
association had 248 members in
Montana actually growing pure
seed, and in that year 351 fields
of high quality grain were inspect
/ ed. (The growth may be made a
contrast from the fact that the in
spection started in 1919 with to-
tai of three fields inspected.)
1t is a point worth mentioning
that of the original group of Off
GERS, F. c. Sumner was president
of the association the past year,
! Jim Griffin was vice president, and
Pat Carney was on the board of
directors. 1t is to the honor of
these men that they have worked
consistently and enthusiastically
for the last IL years to build up
the quality of Montana grain.
For the last few years, when
Montana's grain winnings at Chi
cago have drawn international at
tention to the state, the secretary
and moving spirit of the associa-
tion has been Arthur J. Ogaard. In
his more dignified moments, Mr..
'Ogaard is rated as an extension
specialist in agronomy from the
State college, but most of the time
he is plain "pure-seed bug" with
enough energy and native ingen-
uity to keep any organization hum
ming with activity. With the fine
cooperation of the present Off
GERS of the association, Mr.. Ogaard
has been able to do a job of secre-
taryship that has increased the
membership of the association, in
creased the number of fields in
spected for pure seed, and improv-
ed the quality and quantity of Mon
tana grains shown in world COM
petition. Officials of the Seed
Growers association claim that Mr..
Ogaard is largely responsible for
The circle banner., 1924-02-15
the great showing that Montana
Seed Growers are making.
Advertising that Montana Need

L
This growth of interest in pure
seed work has come in spite of ra-
ther adverse conditions. At first
the association concerned itself
largely with the advertising of SUI
periority of Montana grown seed
for Montana conditions. This is
still the important work of the as
sociation, but its gathering and ex-
hibition each year of choice Mon
tana grains in competition against
the world has become another and
important work. Since 1919 Mon
tana has won an average of almost
25 per cent of all the money offered
in her classes at the Chicago show,
more than any other American
state.
Montana just now needs the kind
of favorable advertising that comes
from this agricultural leadership
in the big national grain shows. 1t
is one bright ray of commendation
in a world of false doubt about the
state. Only a couple of weeks ago
Mr.. Ogaard told of plans that the
association has under way to en-
list the entire agricultural and busi-
ness population of the state in the
big Chicago show in 1924. Up to
this time the great Montana show
ing has come from the unaided eff
forts of the Seed Growers associa-
tion; now with greater reward in
sight and greater glory for Mon
tana in prospect, they are going to
ask cooperation from all parts of
the state. 1t will be a sad day for
the spirit of Montana if this asso-
citation is denied support in any
section in their plans for the 1924
world competition.
Support Is Needed
"Given the interest and support
of all groups throughout the state,
we can sweep the boards at Chi
cago," Mr.. Ogaard says. "The
showing that has been made in the
last few years has meant stiff
uphill fight on the part of the
Seed Growers association and the
county agents who have helped to
prepare these exhibits. Montana
now has the pure seed growers, and
she has the soil and climate that
can return results for these grow
ers; all we need is the interest and
enthusiastic backing of greater
of the agricultural and
business population to make that
Chicago show almost Montana
show"
Mr.. Ogaard talks convincingly
and one is reminded that up in
Canada, in 1922, the provincial
government offered local cash
prices on top of the cash prizes at
Chicago for farmers who would
bring winnings back to the north
land. The total of these prizes
meant a real immediate reward for
the grower who produced winning
quality stuff. 1t gave an impetus
to pure seed work up there that
will be felt for years. And Canada
is still backing her farmers in the
same way. Down here in Mon
tana it took all the money won at
Chicago to pay the expenses of the
exhibit and its preparation. Mon
tana winners got little more than
satisfaction, but it is on record that
the satisfaction has come in large
quantities each year.

Crop Standardization

i ne tnTee steps are as 1OllOWS'
1. Through variety tests con
Quoted by the experiment station
and through local tests under tht
supervision of county agents, in
formation is gathered upon which
to base the selection of standard
adapted varieties for various farm
crops for any given community Oh
county.
2. Demonstration fields are scat
tered over the county to convince
farmers of the superiority of these
selected varieties through their OBJ
servation. 1t is a means of con
vincing the farmer by showing in
stead of telling, which is in the end
the best method of argument
known to date.
3. Having proven the superior
ity of these varieties for any COM
munity, the problem remains to
make it easy for all farmers to OBJ
tain seed of these chosen varieties.
A few growers are selected, and
they are responsible for production
of high grade seed supplies of these
standard varieties. These growers
use pedigreed seed descended from
elite seed stocks carefully produc-
ed by the Experiment station, and
they plant this seed on clean land.
Fields are rogued to eliminate i'm
purities and association inspectors
view the fields before harvest. The
fields which come up to require
ments are harvested carefully, then
the seed is cleaned UP. This seed
must pass a rigid examination at
the Montana state seed laboratory.
On the basis of these laboratory
tests the seed is classified as reg
istered (highest grade), certified
(second grade), or conditional GER
titled (third grade). The grower
then is authorized to sell his, seed
crop under the official tag of the
association and this tag carries all
of the data relative to the quality
of the seed in question.
Taught Seed Judging
This is the process which has
brought Montana's small grains
into world leadership, and which
is increasing that leadership every
year. In each county or commun-
ity there are tests under supervi-
sion of county agents to develop
