With a small box containing a
dozen pieces Of quartz literally
sprinkled with coarse gold, one

STATE FARMERS TO BENEFIT
FROM CREDIT CORPORATION

Farmers of Richland county will
receive some benefit from the Agri-

lied last spring at the request OF
President Coolidge by business men
of the east and middle west. Di-
rectors of the corporation have
agreed to loan money to farmers OF
the county for the purpose of buy
ing small bands Of sheep and for
securing pure bred sires. Further
financial assistance will be extended
to those farmers needing it by John
Clay & Co., commission merchants
Of Chicago for the purpose of stimu-
1ating lamb feeding in the county

offers by eastern interests a renewed

Congress opposed to any dealings be-
tween the Federal authorities and the
states which did not possess funds
with which to match the Federal
grants.
Other speakers emphasized the
fact that the 1922 legislature Grip
pied Federal Aid plans in Montana by
putting state road funds in the hands
of the several counties. The records
showed that Montana counties last
year had about 100000 of Mon
tana road funds, and that less than
20 per cent of these funds had been
used to match Federal Aid.
1t was also shown that by giving
the state half the auto license tax
and all of the gas tax arrangements
could be made to match the states
share of Federal Aid in the next two
years, and build many miles of good
road for the state.
Chairman George Lanstrum of the
State Highway Commission declared
at this meeting that if provision were
not made for a state highway fund
with which to match Federal Aid in
the next two years, there would be
little else for the State Highway
Commission to do but wind up pres
ent contracts and go out of business.
1t was for the purpose of render
ing assistance in the solution of this
grave problem that the Montana
Good Roads and Automobile Associa-
ton was formed.

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 a 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
its 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 a
considerable period of time.

President Sid j. Coffee of the

ing in Helena at which this organ
ization was perfected.
President Coffee states that a
meeting of the executive committee
will be held in the neal future for
the purpose of outlining definite
steps to be taken throughout the
state by the Montana Good Roads
and Automobile association.
This organization grew out of a
meeting of the State Executive Good
Roads Committee held at Helena,
August 4, called by Chairman Sid ].
Coffee to discuss the urgent neces-
city of immediate steps to insure the
enactment of laws at the forthcoming
session of legislature, such laws as
will provide a state highway fund
with which to match and thus save
Montana's share of Federal Aid road
funds.
There were present at this meet
ing representatives from Butte,
Great Falls, Billings, Missoula, Hell
ena, Livingston, K%alispell, Bozeman
and Whitefish, as well as other state
centers.
Congressman Scott Leavitt in
formed the delegates that he had
tried in every possible way to Sc
as much Federal assistance as
possible. The Cotton Bill was de-
to give states of small popula-
ton, such as Montana, practically
one hundred per cent Federal Aid
on primary system roads, he said.
The Dowell Bill, which would be i'm
p~ortant to Montana, was expected to
pass quickly at the next session of
Congress.
But, the Congressman declared,
Montana must have a state highway
fund, and all of the gas tax should
be in that fund. He stated that
there was a growing sentiment
