very great degree hardy to our aver
age winter weather, and the giving
of winter protection pays for itself
many times over, ven with the va
rieties named, and is one sure way o.
eliminating winter INJURY and practi-
cally guaranteeing a crop. And the
practice of pruning the red raspberry
is as necessary under u conditions
as it is to water a lawn in summer
to keep it green. And furthermore
in . region where the red raspberry
can be grown most of US are doing
without it because Of the stiff price
that is asked for said berry when
grown in Washington and shipped in
and all because we do not or will nol
grow it ourselves.
Currants and GOOseberries
In the way of such fruits as cur.
rants and gOOseberries there is nc
reason It all for going outside of the
valley for any of it. These fruits
are among the easy fruits to grow
In the planting Of such varieties OF
gOoseberries as HcughtOn and Down,
ing we have bushes that are hardy
and kill back but very seldom. II
the case of currants the varieties o.
Perfection, White Grape, and Red anC
White Dutch are perfectly reliable
varieties. And a very few bushes o.
these viii supply any normal family
with all that IS needed for their use
And there IS nothing complicated il
their growing, merely q matter of
little thinning, and of course, water
ing and cultivation.
Everything considered, the Gala
tin valley can go much further in tn
way of producing small fruits thai
has been the case in the past. w
can at least say that while com
munities need them, that we can g
ahead and come very near to tina
objective.

Beet GROWERS
GET SI,SOO,OOO

Billings.-Sugar beet growers in
the Billings-Lovell district are receiv-
ins checks amounting to 81 800, 900 in
payment for the 240 1000 tons Of beets
delivered to the company during Oc-
tober. The payments are figured on
the basis of $3.50 a ton. A bonus
will be paid later, bringing the price
to an average probably of IS a ton.
All but 100000 was paid to the farm
srs in the Billings district from the
local plant of the Great Western Su-
gar company. The checks were sent
from the Denver office Of the COM
pany and formed a part of of the
ST. 100000 payment by the company

The payment follows closely upon
payment of 100000 on October 10,
$245 900 in the form of a final bonus

initial payment covering the Septem-
Ter delivery of beets.
W. P. Hogarty, manager of the Bill
Hrgs-Lovell district, stated Friday
that all of the beets are now out O.

have been to the factory.

case of one home garden after we
had our first snow.
Success with the strawberry will
be associated most closely with the
Progressive rather than with one
crop varieties, such as the Dunlap,
this being due to cur late spring
f%rosts, the one-crop variety being
subject to more CT less complete loss
of crop through having its blossoms
killed, while the everbearer is con-
tinually putting out blossoms during
the whole season and only the early
blossoms would be injured. Moreover,
the Progressive not only produces an
early season crop, but more import
ant still, a late season crop when
berries are scarce and prices high,
and from the cash standpoint is
doubtless more important.
A Profitable Crop
Good mulches and moisture condi-
tions are limiting factors and con
tribute to the degree of resistance to
winter conditions and then directly
% yields. In other words, success
with the berry is more or less di.
rectly in proportion to the attention
it is given. Where the Progressive
IS being produced in commercial guam
titles in the state, the gross returns
ave very frequently exceeded 81 ,OO(
n an acre basis. First season plant
ings have returned over 200 crates
and gone 400 and better in follow
ing years.
In the Gallatin valley it is possibl,
for practically every farm to hav,
a productive Progressive patch an,
the same for many gardens in Boze
man, and not only produce enough TO
home use but have an excess for tn
unfortunate individual who is not S,
situated as tc be able to grow hi
own. In fact, there are very goo,
possibilities for a few Commercial
growers.
Red Raspberries Successful
In the case of the red raspberr,
the Experiment station records shoy
successful results even under drylan
conditions. And here again this i
verified by the fact that many gar
dens contain patches which are sup
plying the table of the owner. Will
it may be questionable as to VIVA
commercial paintings might do, Their
cas- not been a year on record at tn
station in which there has not bee
at least a fair return. Success wit
the red raspberry is mainly direct
dependent upon proper selection O
varieties, winter protection, moistuT
and pruning.

beam, Herbert, and Ohta are Co

Mrs. Miriam A. Ferguson, nee
Wallace, was born in Bell county, her
parents being of Tennessee noun
taineer stock.
Her early life was the ordinary
plantation loutine. She attended the
local rural school, helped about the
home and in emergencies in the fields.
Later she went to Baylor university
which was situated a few miles from
the Wallace homestead. AS a student
she was known for her thoroughnes
and accuracy rather than for brilii-
ance. To the neighbors, Miriam Wa!
lace was "a good girl" and that to!o
the whole story.
Marries Ferguson
In 1899 she married James f. Fer
gusOn, farmer, later banker. and
ranchman. They have two daughters,
the younger now being her mothers
secretary.
The late Governor Ross of Wyom-
ing landed in the town of Cheyenne
in 1901. He opened a law office
there and it was in the west that he
met and married his wife.
She was born in st. Joseph. Mo-,
about 40 years ago." She married
the late Governor Ross in Omaha in
1902. She has three sons. Two of
them are in the University of Wyom-

MEXICAN REBELS
 ARE FALLING BACK
EYaCuate Puerto Mexico and Lose on Other Fronts
By The Associated Press.

By The Associated Press.
 Mexico City, March 21. - Puerto Mexico has been evacuated by the rebels following the capture of Nina titlan, according to, dispatch from War Secretary Serrano and the port is now occupied by federal forces un- der Generals Vicente. Gonzales and Juan Dominguez. .t.
 The rebels embarked for Frontera. The rebel gunboat Zargossa and other vessels were bombed by government airplane while putting out to sea.
 Reports persist that Adolf de la Huerta, head of the rebellion, sailed from Frontera early this week en route to Galveston, Texas, but there is no confirmation from any source.
 In the northern sector the federals have begun active pursuit of the reb- rels, headed by Marcial Cavazos. who has been actice in the state, of Hi- dalgo, reported engaged in holding up trains. He is at present in the noun tains of San Luis Potosi. Gen Rios Zertuche, cooperating with Gen. Arenas is proceeding into the moun- tains with cavalry after the rebels.
 Huehuetla, the most important town on the Hidalgo-Ver Cruz border has been captured by government troops. The rebels withdrew toward Yahualica, which is one of the objec- tives in the drive agair1t Cavazos' fol lowers.
 Cooperation of the federal army driving to the east through the benin suia and of the gunboat from the gull would trap the few remaining rebe leaders and their troops from which
