YOUTHS TELL WHERE
 THEY HID THUNDER
Sheriff Bates Recovers All But
 $50 to Stolen SAYS

Recovery of SPAS of a total of S2T5 that was stolen from the safe in the store of Mathew Dartt of Quinehaug. hy three boys of the neighborhood. was made possible by the diligent work of Deputy Sheriff William N. Bates of Thompson, who succeeded in getting the boys to tell what they had done with the money.
 The three boys were arraigned Mon day before Justice of the Peace Ryan of Thompson and were sentenced to the reform school. Sentence was sus- pended. however. Their parents pledg- ed themselves to make good the SS0 loss Mr. Dartt sustained.
 Sheriff Quixxes Boys
 When Mir. Dartt returned to his store after lunch on Thursday. he mo- tieed two S5 bills on the floor near the safe. This was most unusual. and his suspicious being aroused, he examined his safe, to find that bag containing S275 was missing.
 Suspicion was fixed on three boys who had been in the store, and Mir. Dartt went to their homes. But each denied having had any part in the dis appearance of the cash.
 Mir. Dsrtt Discovers Theft
 Sheriff Bates was summoned and he called the lads into private conference, the duration of which is reported to have been several hours. At the end, the boys led the sheriff to the spot where they had hidden the stolen prop erty in a Quinebaug barn. The boys said that one of their number stood guard at the head of the cellar stairs in the Dartt store when the girl went downstairs to get a pair of rubbers, while the other boys rified the safe.

of the very highest. At the National
Grain Exposition, Montana barley

Field Peas are being raised in Mon
tana in increasing quantities. This
crop is being produced for canning
purposes and also for seed to be sold
to growers of the Gamers variety in
other states. In Montana the pea
crop is free from weevil, and the
quality of seed raised insures a good
yield when raised in other states.
Bean Raising is rapidly develop

itself with agricultural pro 1uctio

among all the school systems of the
United States in a recent survey made
by the Russell Sage Foundation
This great Foundation made a care
full study of the facilities and STAN
dards of schools in the different
states, and found that on the V
age the grade of education offered
was higher in Montana than in any
other state.
Facilities for higher education ar
generously provided in Montana
The state supports four higher ed
ucational institutions. These are
The State College at Bozeman which
offers agriculture, engineering, h m
science and applied science; the State
University at Missoula, which reach
es arts, law, journalism, and allied
subjects; the State School of Mines
at Butte, which provides an edura
State Normal College at Dillon which
offers training for teachers.
The four institutions above men

than three million dollars in new
buildings and additional equipment
This money was provided through a
bond issue authorized at the cleo

buildings and improvements and this
entire sum will have been expended
by the close of the coming year. This
expenditure, in addition to the large
sums which had been previously used
provides very excellent, modern ia
wcilities for higher education.
In point of general state service

tion was nine million five hund-e ed

ing extensively planted by stockmen
who grow their animals on the noun
tain ranges and then bring them in

The type of corn raised in Mon
tana differs from that of the Central
West, in being lower growing, hav-
ing smaller ears and maturing earli-
er. Methods of harvesting are also
different from those of the corn belt,
but there is developed in Montana a
type of corr culture, a set of early

varieties, and methods Of corn util-
ization which make for economical
production.
Settlers who desire to raise stock,
either cattle, sheep, or hogs, may de-
pend on Montana corn for the fin
ishing of these animals.
Alfalfa Hay and Seed Production is
quite extensive. In the irrigated val
legs, yields ranging from three to
six IONS pc racre are general, and I'M
der dry land conditions, a lower
yield but very dependable returns
are secured. A stock raiser will find
the combination of alfalfa and corn
production a very economical meth
cd of providing for his animals.
Weather conditions prevailing at
the time of the fertilization of the
flowers and also at the harvesting
time, have favored an increase in
production of alfalfa seed in much
of the state.
Sweet Clover which for many years
was considered a weed, has nov
proved to be a very useful crop. 1t is
being extensively planted on the dry
farms of the state, and is being used
in large quantities by stockmen for
the growing and finishing Of their
animals in combination with corn.
Red Clover, alsike clover, white
clover and crimson cloer all do well
in Montana. They are commonly
raised under irrigation and yield high
returns of hay. Glover also contrib
utes to maintaining the productivity
of the SOIL.
Hay and Pasture Grass such as
timothy, bronze grass, and blue joint,
are extensively raised. For the past
seventy years, Montana has been
famous for her livestock production,
and this was made possible in the
early days by the excellence of the
natural pasture.
Sugar Beet raising is now occupy
ing a very important place in sec
lions of Montana. This crop makes
a heavy drain on the plant food of
the soil, and also requires a large
number of hours of sunshine to in
sure high sugar production. Montana
provides for both of these require
ments, by unusually favorable con-
ditions. Sugar beet growing is sure
to develop very extensively in Mon
Apple Raising may be carried on in
practically any section of Montana
