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
ner, Clyde Park; vice president,
James Griffin, Chinook; secretary
treasurer, A. J. Ogaard, Bozeman.

tive work IN Montana, however. is
divided into Standardization OF
crop varieties and the development
OF the alfalfa seed production
phase Of Montana agriculture.
In alfalfa seed production the
association works in close coop
Grafton with the Montana Expert
ment station and Extension service.
By a system of field and bin in
spection, checking of seed origin,
sealing and labelling, the bona fide
growers of genuine Grimm and
Cossack alfalfa seed are being pro-
tected from the competition of TN
scrupulous dealers and growers
who certify that their seed is
Grimm or Cossack alfalfa, when in
many cases it is only common all
falfa. Farmers Of the middle west
ern and eastern states are only too
glad to pay the extra price for this
form of seed insurance from Mon
tana, where they look for their seed
1t is the only way, Mr..
Ogaard believes, for Montana to
maintain the good name of its
alfalfa seed. In the last
year there were III ,729 pounds of
sealed and labeled Montana Grimm
seed produced in Montana.
Crop Standardization is, perhaps,
the most important single work of
the association. This. work has
three steps, or periods of progress,
each is of great Importance
and no small interest

Crop Standardization

1he three steps are as follows:
l. Through variety tests con
Quoted by the experiment station
and through local tests under The
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 OF
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.
8. 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 inn
purities and association inspectors
view the fields before harvest. The
fields which come UP to require
ments r 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
(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 commune
ity there are tests under supervi-
sion of county agents to develop

the great showing hat Montana
Seed Growers are making.
Advertising that Montana Need

Advertising that Montana Need
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
ISOLATION, 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
Is 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 commentator
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 bust
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-
ton; 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. It 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 a 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
a return results for these grow
ers; all we need is the interest and
enthusiastic backing of a greater
proportion of the agricultural and
business population to make that
Chicago show almost a Montana
show"
MI. 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.

Houp This Fish Walks

As waters inhabited by climbing
perch dry up. the existing puddles be
come overstocked. and the fish leave
their old home, says Nature Magazine
They depart by hundreds, travelling
over the land, scattering in all direc-
tions. Then the gill covers are fully
extended and the pectoral fins spread
out. The former are bent outward
like a Joint. the pointed ends seeking
a firm hold; by n twisting and turning
movement OF the body the creature Is
jerked forward Then the spineS Of
the gill covers again seek firm hold
In this way the climbing perch Is
able to move quite rapidly. If the fish
do not find water, they will dig them
selves into the mud and can be found
ut depth Of one and half feet.
