NEW YORK, May 9.-The moving
of mail across the Atlantic by diriG-
ihIe in less than two days flying
time was seen as a possibility today
by those who heard of expe riments
with rigid airplanes as told by Secre-
tary of the Navy Curtis D. Wilbur at
the annual dinner of the National
Security League last night.
From the success of the Shenan-
doah so far and by trials Of the IRA,
which will be received from Germany
next fall for commercial expert
ments," he said. the Navy hopes TO
ashow the practicability of new
2eans Of transportation and COM
niunication."
The department is fully alive to the
value of aviation in the Navy and is
opposed to any separation of it's avi-
alton from its direct control, the
Secretary said.
Other Thtngs to Do.
He declared the Navy Department
had other things TO do than deny
lire spon sible statements" of indi-
viduals to the effect that our fleet
has deteriorated in comparison with
the fleets Of other nations.
Praise for President CoolidGe's
world court plan also was given by
Secretary Wilbur. who declared, how
ever. that not all questions could lie
settled that way, but some ideas
must of necessity be fought out in
battle.
President Coolidge in a letter read
at the banquet urged the vital need
of an adequate Army and Navy.
Feeble Righteousness amounts to
but little in this world" the Presi-
dent wrote. "In the interest of peace,
in the interest of our ideals. we
shold properly maintain our national
defense"
Fleet I'm Good shape.
Assistant Secretary of the Navy
Roosevelt denied reports that the
fleet is in very bad shape.
THE United States Navy in general
is in good shape" he declared. The

HEADER BARGE CUTS 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 rs acres a day and the to-
tai cost Of this is between $500 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
kets from Montana points of Logan,
may be removed from cars at east
ern Montana points for grazing and
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
surplus hay in eastern Montana in
fattening 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
loading charges will be made, offic-
ials stated.

pesially optimistic for the bankers
and the farmers and business men
we're 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
$15,0O0,000 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"

WARMERS of Western Montana
II now may purchase pyrotoi. a
h high explosive made from sui
plus war explosives in the hands Of
the federal government, for use in ag-
ricultural work. This new explosive
will be handled for agricultural pur-
poses in carload lots through the ex-
tension service of the state and ar
engagements 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 in 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 TINT 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. 1t will burn without explod-
ing, at least in small quantities.
So far as ordinary handling is con-
cerned, pyrotol has no toxic effects.
1t a 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
temperatures. The sensitive
ness decreases with increased mois-
ture content, so the explosive should
be stored in a dry place. The car
ridges, as prepared for distribution,
be left in wet holes for several
hours without loss of sensitiveness
Or strength. Pyrotol can be complete
y detonated by a No. 6 cap of either
he electric or fuse type.
For stump or rock blasting this

Farmers of the logged-over areas

ieved that there will be a considera-

And plans are under way to stock
the station with 1000 beef breeding

The acquisition of the new station
has been enthusiastically praised by
the west, and the Department is be-

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
have 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
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
this station will therefore have great
possibilities for American agricu1-l

expectations that with the present
favorable prices the state will again
be on an economic basis which will

However, we have found that what
the farmers of North Dakota need
is more Investigation.
1.-THE Agricultural Credit associa-
ton was impressed with the plan of
injecting more dairy cattle into the
state, for the slogan that prosperity
follows the dairy COW has been ade-
quately proved. But when we start
ed on this we found that there was
a general demand for sheep. That
gave us the idea that there should
be more sheep on the farms. Our

BEAN GROWERS TO
BEST SEED

A T a meeting of rs bean growers
~ and dealers held at Billings re-
n Gently plans for bean crop i'm
provement through the selection of
seed from the best plants we're dis
cussed. A resolution was adopted
asking the Montana State College for
early experimental work with the
Great Northern bean for the purpose
of establishing a better yielding and
more uniform type of the variety, and
the development of beans of a uni
form cooking quality.
The main purpose of the meeting
was to hasten every possible improve
ment of the variety by the efforts of
individual growers and to broaden
the experimental work through the
help of the state college. Very little
has been done on bean improvement
anywhere and the action taken a
year ago in making a start toward es-
tablishing bean standards is expect
ed to give results in time throughout
the bean growing sections.
G. G. Staring, assistant horticul-
turist at the Montana State College,
explained the possibilities of improve
ment of the bean crop by selection.
IlG d1SO IOlQ VI IuO otdlL MdQo last
year, when 35 bean types were sell
ected and are now being grown on
one of the ranches in the Billings dis
trict, and at the Huntley experiment
al station for the purpose of develop
ing a high yielding strain of the Great
Northern bean of the size and shape
most desired on the market.
This scientific development, he ex-
planned, would be a slow process,
not adapted to field practice by the
practical grower, though it would
develop eventually a better bean.
However, selection of the best plants
in the field by each grower for seed
for the next year, would result, he
said, in great improvement similar
to that resulting from the selection
of the best ears of corn in a field for
seed.

The northwestern states +
nearing the fall season with an inn
provement in general conditions
noted by President Ralph Budd of
the Great Northern railway, that
hardly permits of comparison with
the situation of 80 days ago.
President Budd, in Great Falls re-
Gently was very enthusiastic in his
comment on the present situation.
Mr.. Budd S enthusiasm had its origin
in his summing up of the general sit
uation as the returns of the year are
about to be realized.
'"There has been a wonderful i'm
provement in the last so or so days,
said President Budd. "The change
for te betehr places the northwest in
a position that can hardly be recog-
nized as the present is compared with
the early spring and summer. Great
er returns to the agricultural indus
try, district progress in r~e-establlsh-
ing confidence and a universal better
ment of the farming situation are ac-
countable for the greater portion OF
the change.
-Four states, Montana, North Da-
kota, South Dakota, and Minnesota
will this year realize an increase of
from 1925, 100000 to $250,OOO,OOO
farm returns over last year. The eff
feet of this on the industry of agricul-
ture and individual prosperity will be
very great. 1t will be a tremendous
factor in bringing about a complete
recovery from conditions which have
existed in the last few years.
cit was but a few months ago that
government relief was sought for ag-
riculture IN the northwest. The larg-
est amount asked in legislation pro-
posed was $1,000, 600, and now four
states will realize about five times
that through the increase in returns
over last year, and will have no part
of it to repay. There is every reason
to look ahead with complete conf
dence in the northwest and there is
evidence enough that these states
will quickly return to the normal that
they formerly knew"
President Budd's most recent visit
to the state was occasioned by a
meeting at Great Falls of the railroad
officials and delegations of citizens
Gilman and Augusta with re-
ference to the permanent ending of
the CONTROVERSY of long standing
pertaining to the establishment of a
permanent terminus for the branch
line which serves that community.
