After seeing a few OF the early

thud. Athletics for girls were some-

those early court battles probably
would seem strange to the observer
now. One is led to believe this by

"The opposing teams, marshaled

colors were red and blue. One side
the other blue and white, while the
captains had their caps of solid black.

Game Pleased Girls,
Thus an idea may be had Of the
way the girls Of the nineties played
the game. Such scene now doubtless
would attract full house. Evidently
they played It as quantity as it was
for another newspaper account Of
that time declared that basket ball
was becoming very popular with the
girlsawho were not slow to realize
the truth ofethe, adage, altered to suit
der Is good for the GOOSE"
Even at that time critics considered
basket ball a good game for girls.
one of them said that ''it seems to
solve the problem which has SO long
been unsolved-to find an indoor ath-
letic game which would equal the ex-
citement Of most outdoor recreation
for girls. Formerly when the outdoor
season closed there was nothing to
take the place OF the games OF the
beautiful summer, and most Of the
benefits derived from them were lost.
NOW there is the gymnasium for work
and the basket ball for play. The
game requires skill and ability, but
strength Is not necessary. and there
fore girls OF all physical conditions
can take part in It."

Plays from out of bounds are
much more valuable to team than
plays from the center position and
should therefore receive relatively
more attention from the coach and
players. Prearranged plays from
out of bounds are more apt to be
successful, because the opposing
team has less time to arrange sys-
tematic defense.
These plays can most logically be
determined by the position of the
ball as related to the field of play.
Play is too fast and situations are
too complex to allow signals be-
tween players in this type of game.

EXPLOSIVE is HARD TIMES PAST
AVAILABLE TO THE in MONTANA SAYS
MONTANA FARMER EASTERN BANKER
Montana State College.

FARMERS of Western Montana
II now may purchase pyrOtoi. a
~ high explosive made from sur
plus war explosives in the hands OF
the federal government, for use in ag-
r%icultural work. This new explosive
will be handled for agricultural pur-
poses in carload lots through the ex-
tension service of the state and ar
rangements for the purchase of the
explosive should be made through
county agents or direct with the ex-
tension service 1T Bozeman.
Pyrotol is a high explosive made
largely Of ground smokelcss powder
and sodium nitrate. 1t is prepared
for use i'll double-dipped paraffined
cartridges weighing about six ounces.
The cartridges are packed in wooden
boxes each containing about SO
pounds Of pyrotol.
Pyrotol is a comparatively safe ex-
plosive. While it is more sensitive
than INT or picric acid, there is no
danger whatever in handling it pro-
vided that ordinary care is used as
in handling dynamite or other ex-
plosives. It will burn without explod-
ing, at least in small quantities.
So far as ordinary handling is con-
cerned, pyrotol has no toxic effects.
1t can be used in any open air blast
ing operations and will not cause
headaches, nor will it stain the hands
or clothing.
Pyrotol is a low freezing explosive
and will give good results at all or
binary temperatures. The sensitive
ness decreases with increased mois-
ture content, so the explosive should
be stored in a dry place. The car
tridges, as prepared for distribution,
can be left in wet holes for several
hours without loss of sensitiveness
or strength. Pyrotol can be complete
ly detonated by NO. 6 cap of either
the electric or fuse type.
For stump or rock blasting this
pyrotol can be used in exactly the
way that dynamite is used. For
blasting bitches the electric method
of firing must be used because pyrotol
is so insensitive that it will not
propagate"

HEADER BARGE OUTS LABOR
COST OF GRAIN HARVESTING

During the last few years farmers
in different sections of the north
west have been working out labor
saving devices trying to eliminate the
number of men formerly necessary
in harvest aand threshing operations.
Out of the several years experiment
ing with different types of machines
and equipment, the header barge and
derrick threshing table have come to
solve this problem in many sections
of the state of Montana.
The header barge is Is feet long,
nine feet wide and IA feet high. A
twelve or fourteen-foot header is
used. Two men with this outfit cut
and stack 25 acres a day and the to-
tai cost Of this is between 5000 and
$500.
The derrick table for threshing is
used for headed grain in the stack
and the grain is pulled on to the der
rick table by a Jackson fork. With
this kind of a table five men easily
handle the work and four men are
enough with a small separator

RATE RULING AIDS CATTLE
SHIPPERS OF MONTANA

Cattle consigned to eastern mar

subsequent shipment to the market
originally designated at the carload
rate from the home station to the
market, effective August %, accord
ing to information recently received
by the state railroad commission, from
the Northern Pacific railway.
The order permits western
ranchers to take advantage of the
hay in eastern Montana in
f%attening their cattle for market, the
board announced. Many ranchers, it
is reported had planned to ship their
cattle to eastern state points for graz
ing preparatory to consignment to
market in the fall. The new tariff
will eliminate payment of local rates
to the grazing point, necessary under
the present tariff. The customary

Gently plans for bean crop i'm

Great Northern bean for the purpose

the development of beans OF a uni

The main purpose of the meeting
was to hasten every possible improve

the experimental work through the

for livestock. J. w. Swartz, who
has been employed at the station by
the War department for Is years, was
employed as farm foreman in charge.
And plans are under way to stock
the station with 1000 beef breeding
cattle, a band of sheep, some hogs,
horses and turkeys, some of the ami
mails having already been placed on
the ranch.
The acquisition of the new station
has been enthusiastically praised by
the west, and the Department is be-
ing urged to consider many problems
for immediate study. 1t will be nee
essary to select wisely in order to
concentrate on only those problems
which are most important. Those
who are forming these plans believe
that this addition to the nations
facilities for livestock research has
great possibilities. There has long
been a need for it. Many changes
taken place in the west since
the days of the pioneer cattlemen
and abundant range. Stockmen have
suffered great losses in trying to
adapt their methods to these changes.
These losses have been felt not only
on the range but in the feed lots of
the corn belt and by the consumers
Of livestock products. Careful ex-
periments and dependable results at
station will therefore have great
possibilities for American agricul-
.ure.

hoped that member banks and others
would tender suggestions for further
improvement. The board solicits adj
vice and hoped that it would be free
ly given. Governor Young felt es-
pesially optimistic for the bankers
and the farmers and business men
were cheerful over the crop prospects
and the better prices for grain he
said.
He reviewed the difficulties since
1919 and told how the board at
Washington had responded to the re-
quests of the northwest in permitting
the Ninth district to loan close to
$15,000,000 in the territory.
"This year, I believe, will be a
debt paying year." he added, "the
borrowers will be glad to pay off
and rid themselves Of the evils of in
terest paying and bankers, who have
had to borrow, will see a revival of
business all along the line"
