SHOCKER NOT A DESERTER
George Sisler Explains That Twirler Is III But Will Rejon His Outfit Today.

Today.
 st. Louis, April 22.-Business Man ager Bill Friel of the St. Louis Am ericans, after telephone conversation with Manager George Sisler of the Browns. expressed the belief that Er- ban Shocker. star twirler, who disap- peared after Saturdays game In De- troit, had not deserted the club, but had gone to the. home of sister in that city because of bad cold he had contracted.
 Shocker was knocked out of the box by Detroit Saturday, and had not been seen since then.
 Friel said that he knows of no grievance that Shocker might be hold ing against the club, and stated that Manager Sisler intends to give the pitcher ample chance to explain his absence before taking action.
 Detroit, April 22.-Crban Shocker, star pitcher of the St. Louis Browns, who left the clubs headquarters Sat rrday, went to his sisters home here, Manager George Sisler said today in discrediting reports that Shocker had deserted the team. Sisler asserted shocker had been suffering from a cold and sore throat and that because of the raw cold day Sunday he did not appear at the Detroit ball park. There is no basis for reports of dissension between Shocker and the club" Sisler said, adding that Shock CT would rejoin the team today if the game Is played.

CLEANING
OF DAIRY UTENSILS


~ NE OF the big factors in the
production of clean milk is the
~ cleaning of the dairy utensils.
To thoroughly clean milk pals and
cans certain steps should be taken,
viz, washing, rinsing and sterilizing
Before attempting to wash any
utensil rinse out the old milk with
cold or lukewarm water. never hot
water, as heat tends to bake the milk
into the tin and IL is then difficult to
remove. Wash with a stiff brush in
hot water which contains some sol
vent to soften the water. The sol
vent tends to saponify the fat and
eliminate the grease left from the
milk. Rags should never be used
to wash milk utensils as they are very
unsanitary. After washing, rinse in
clean water and sterilize by hot water
or live steam. No matter how we'll
utensils have been washed they
should be sterilized for best results.
The heat from sterilization has a
drying effect which is very desirable.

able 1t is well to set the utensils out

COCKLEBUR CAUSES SOME
LOSSES TO SHEEP GROWERS

The common weed known as cock
lebur was responsible for consider
able sheep losses in Rosebud county
during the months Of June and July.
according to report from Dr. How
ard WEIGH, veterinarian at Montana
State College to r. B. Mercer, county
agent. DR.. Welch found the weed
prevalent in all sections where losses
occurred and vigorous eradication
campaign under the direction of the
county agent put an end to the
trouble for the remainder of the
season. The banks of streams and
bitches were favorite places for the
weed. DR.. WEIGH explained that
cocklebur is only poisonous during
fits very early growth, at the time
when the first two leaves appear
In the sections where the losses oc.
Cured new plants kept coming on
during the season as the water in the
streams became lower. Thus the
poison season was extended over q
considerable period of time.

SCOBEY KEEPS WORLD

GRAIN CRCP MARKET

The town OF Scobey, county seat
of Daniels county, will retain its rat
ing this year as the largest primary
wheat market in the world with a

100000 bushels j. B. Townsend.
a representative of the Westland Oil
company, said recently. Mr.. Town
sends headquarters now are Scobey.
Northern Montana looks better
than II has in years" said Mr.. Town
send, "and the territory will take a
great forward stride with the market
ing of the present crop. In North
eastern Montana, estimates of yields
made earlier in the season are prov
ing very accurate. In the Scobey
section more than 100000 bushels
of wheat will be marketed, maintain

year is mighty serious-realiy an
agricultural calamity.
8. The sooner we depend upon
home grown seed corn the better.
A. Yields OF corn may be increased
at slight expense by proper and care
full field selection of seed corn.
s. Losses resulting from poor
stands and puny plants may be
largely prevented by proper selec-
tion OF seed corn.
II is mighty important that seed
be selected from the standing stalks
in he field before killing frost. The
germ--the living part of the kernal
lis very delicate. Freezing the
germ while it is moist will destroy
or seriously lower its vitality. An
experiment station test showed that
selected before frost, terminated SO
per cent while that picked after
frost failed to show over so per
cent Selection in the field also en-
ables one to eliminate immature and
undesirable types of plants. Contin-
ued selection from year to year will
work wonders in improving the type
of corn.
Seed corn, according to the cir
cular, should be selected a week or
10 days before the average date of
the first killing frost In the fall or
sometime early in September at most
Montana points. Tie sack across
your shoulder and walk through the
field taking two rows at a time, Sc
lecting the best matured ears for
vigorous well rooted plants. Do not
select for any thing too extreme
Observe the average type in the field
and do not make your selection too
far from this average. Select the
right kind of ear from strong Wig
orous plants. Avoid coarse or extra
long shanks.

to Our work.
"For two days we were not mo-
Tested but during the third day we
discovered a war party of Sioux
crawling upon us through the tim
Der and it took us only an instant
to drop behind stumps and get
ready for them. Hardly had we
done SO before firing began and it
was pretty warm while it lasted.
Shortly afterwards Mr.. Court
nay, who was engaged as clerk,
went across Pouchette creek to get
dry stock of fuel, as each man
furnished his own for cooking. He
had just cut it and put it on his
shoulder and was in the act of re-
crossing the stream when an In
dian jumped up few feet behind
him and shot him in the back.
Courtnay was in the act of stepping
down when the Indian fired, and
the bullet ranged downward and
came out little above the knee on
the inside of the leg. We all con-
sidered it fatal wound. The In
dian was in the act Of cooking the
OF her barrel, when Courtney,
wounded as he was, turned on him
with the axe and bluffed him off,
and then fell.
"The shooting aroused the two
men at the fort and they sent for
us in the timber on the point We
carried the wounded man to the
block house and supposed he would
never leave it alive. | volunteered
to attend him. Medical assistance
was out of the question, as none
was nearer than Helena, and it was
impossible to go one-quarter of the
distance on account of Indians. My
patient grew rapidly weaker and
could hardly speak. A few day:
after the shooting a party of Sioux
. arrived and brought me some roots
telling me how to use them.
Il washed the wound in the de
coction. Colonel Clendenning, whC
was then running the post at Mus

wound with ice water to reduce thu
inflammation, and also sent
syringe, with which I washed OH
the wound every day. 1t wa
frightful agony but it saved tn
poor fellows life and in 30 days h

"One morning in April we dis
covered that our cord wood ha,

feet high. | expected they would
try to set it afire. | denied them
admission which they peremptorily
demanded, and got into the block
house, from which | had command
of the gate and its approaches.
"The Indians began to examine
the gate closely, and | gave the pre-
arranged signal and prepared to
sell my life as dearly as possible.
The three men came to the edge
of the timber and seeing the In
dams in such overwhelming num-
bers, two of them hesitated but
Shelton insisted that | was still
alive and was determined to come
to my aid. The others followed.
They crept along the bank until
close to the fort and then made
rush for the gate while the Indians
were some distance from it. See
ing the reinforcenents | had re-
ceived the Indians gave up their
hostile intentions and went away.
"A few days afterward, while at
dinner, we heard a whoop, and
looking out saw a party of In
dams had jumped out of the tim
Der and had stampeded our horses
and mules and were driving them
off toward the hills. Three of us
started to follow, one, Ivey, remain
ing behind to guard the fort. We
had gone but short distance when
we heard the signal, and looking
around saw big party of war
painted Sioux coming out Of the
timber in an attempt to cut us off
from the fort.
I'VE made a run for the fort
which we reached just in time and
going to the roof watched our ami
mails disappear towards the hills.

and we could see them hooking us.

number of leaden messengers into
the group. The only fatality,

mules.

Selection of Seed Corn lis
Most Vital Farm Problem

vITH the corn crop in Mon
M/ tana from 10 days to two
w weeks late, A. j. Ogaard,
agronomist for the Montana State
College extension Service is calling
attention TO the special need Of gath
ering seed corn TO take care OF next
years demands. Since the season is
backward there is considerable dan
ger that damaging frost may occur
before the corn ripens in many parts
OF the state and for that reason seed
corn must be gathered before ripen-
ing. In the case of flint corn Mr..
Ogaard advises that seed may be
safely gathered when the corn starts
to glaze and dent corn may be gath
cred for seed when the dent appears.
Montana farmers should not de-
pend upon a repetition of last years
experience says Mr.. Ogaard. for that
happened to be an exceptionally ia
vorable and damaging frosts held off
for an unusually long time giving
corn, in most parts of the state,
good opportunity to ripen. In con-
trast to this in other sections of
the United States. particularly in the
central states. the season was very
unfavorable for seed corn and this
was followed by q winter which did
not permit proper curing of the seed
under the methods ordinarily used.
AS a result much seed Of low germi-
nation was planted in the corn grow
ing states OF the east. and this was at
- ~. On
sponsible for the present short corn
crop In the United States.
The farmers of this state may we'll
be guided by the experience of their
eastern brothers. With a little fore
sight and by gathering seed corn
early Montana's next years seed corn
supply will be assured, but without
such care it may indeed be possible
that the farmers of this state will
haveto pay big price for seed corn
next spring, and then get seed that
will not do well In Montana. Corn
growing experience in this state has
taught in convincing manner that
success with this crop depends upon
the use of home grown acclimated
seed. To fail to harvest sufficient
supply of home grown seed might
have serious effect upon encourag-
ing corn growing progress that has
taken place in this state.
II 1t is at all possible, Mr.. Ogaard
advises gathering enough seed corn
this year to take care of the needs
for the next two years. Those who
were farsighted enough to do that
last year are not worrying about the
present unfavorable conditions. II
is always good idea to have years
reserve of seed corn to sall back on
for under the variable conditions
In Montana, there is no telling when
lit will be impossible to harvest seed
corn.
On the matter of selecting corn
for seed Circular 65 of the Montana
State College Extension Service
states:
Enough seed corn should be Sc
lected for two years in advance be-
cause:
/. 1t is the most certain means
of improving corn and adapting II
to the needs of your farm and COM
munity.

BEET SUGAR PLANT
PUT UP TO FARMERS

~ ECENTLY, all farmers in the
X Milk River valley between

mailed QUESTIONABLE requesting in
formation which is essential In the
campaign for sugar factory in the
valley. These questionaires have
been sent out by the Chinook and

be returned to the Chinook Com
mercial club.

tion about the distance to the near

ing in beet field, number of acres in
farm, number of work horses, and
the number of cows. 1t also wants to
know how many acres of beets a
farmer would grow in 1925 If hand
labor were provided, how many acres
a farmer can handle without outside
help, how many acres the farmer has
which could be properly prepared
to grow beets in 1925, and how many
acres of alfalfa, barley, beans, sugar
beets, flax, corn, bluejoint, millet,
oats, onions, pasture, peas, wheat and
potatoes are being raised this year.
In order to make it convenient for
the farmers this information is all
printed on a mailing card, and it will
only take few minutes of time to
fill 1t out. The card is all stamped
ready to mail and is addressed to the
Chinook Commercial club. All that is
necessary is to bring it to town and
drop 1t in the postoffice.
Every farmer is urged to fill this
card out as soon as he gets it. This
is very essential. G. II. Barnes, the
field man, who has 80 years of ex-
perience as a beet grower and field
man, says that the time is now ripe
TO start the campaign for a sugar
factory and this data must be Sc
cured as quickly as possible so that
some definite figures can be had to
lay before the sugar companies who
are interested in coming into the val
ley. These people must have real
facts in the matter. They must be
shown that we have a proposition
that is worth while. They must know
that we can and will produce the
beets in paying quantities before they
will entertain any proposition to build
factory. Don't delay-fill out and
send In that QUESTIONABLE right away.
