-c,a m. -, sn> :, >s - .

Some forty-odd years ago a little
sandy-haired boy named Calvin
Coolidge went through all the thrills
of boy seeing his first circus. This
same person. now President of the
United States, went to the circus
again yesterday and experienced the
sensation of seeing such a form of
entertainment for the first time as
the ruler of the nation.
On the first occasion the boy
Coolidge was accompanied by his
father and grandfather. and although
the circus was a one-ring affair, he
was delighted. Yesterday he was
accompanied by his wife and a num-
Der of secret service and newspaper
men, and all eyes were turned upon
him as he started across the sawdust
under the big top. Bands played
gayly and crowds arose and cheered
and waved. The presidential party
was given a rousing ovation, and Mr..
and Mrs. Coolidge smilingly acknowl-
edged the tribute before taking their
seats
There was no doubling the fact that
President and Mrs. Coolidge fully en-
joyed themselves. It would be difficult
to pick out from all the varied form of
entertainment just what pleased Mr.
Coolidge the most. but, Judging, from his
expression and the enthusiasm displayed
when he applauded, it might be taken

woman delegates received to date at

been received from ten states and the

In addition there will be a large
group of women who will attend the
convention in what may be said to be
a seTi-official capacity. Many of
these will be party women who will
have influence with the delegates, be-
cause they are known to be keenly

enforcement. women with various
ideas for bringing about peace.
Cleveland Hostesses.
In addition there will be a large
group of Cleveland hostesses for the
convention. These will be headed by
Mrs. Nettie M. Clapp of Cleveland, one
of Ohios woman legislators.
1t is considered an absolute certainty
that a rule will be introduced and
passed at the convention placing
women as members rather than asso-
ciate members for each state on the
Republican national committee. A
resolution to this effect was drawn at
the meeting of the Republican ma
tional committee in Washington last
December.

LOTTIE OF ELKHORN PRODUCES
80 POUNDS BUTTER FAT
IN FEBRUARY
Twenty-six Bitter Root Cows in IA
Herds Averaged Over 40 Pounds

Tells of Results.

The February report of the Bitter
Root alley Cow Testing association
shows that the $50 cows tested in "a
herds gave an average of rs pounds
of butterfat for each cow for the
month. Twenty-six cows from 10
herds produced over 40 pounds OF
fat. The first years work of the
association closed with the February
report, and Tester r. F. Gaalass is
now working on the yearly summary
which will show in detail the actual
results accomplished during the life
of the organization. The annual re-
port, which will be ready soon, will
show some good comparisons of the
difference in cost production and re-
turn for each dollar expended for
feed during the year.
The highest individual record for
the month was 80 pounds of fat,
made by Lottie of Elkhorn, a regis
tered Jersey, owned by r. H. Daniels
of Corvallis. This animal is a well
known butterfat producer in the
state. Several years ago, as senior
three-year-old, she gave 541 pounds
of fat in IL months and became the
champion Jersey in the state for her
age. Echo's Fairy Lass, a registered
Jersey of Archie McKillop & Son,

SWEET CLOVER TO
GO WITH CORN

l"HE movement to increase pro
duction of sweet clover in Mon
Il tana comes as result OF tn
need for a legume hay to go witt
corn to balance up the live stock ra
ton. Corn is a good feed but lack
protein, and legumes such as swee
clover and alfalfa supply the def
cheney. Alfalfa is to be recommend
ed where it will do well, but in thu
non-irrigated sections sweet cloyel
promises to be the important legumt
crop.
In urging the growing of sweet
clover, the Montana Extension Ser
vice speaks of the crop as being
adapted to semi-arid conditions ano
having the desirable quality of do
ing we'll on a great variety of soils.
Where alkali is present and other
crops have failed, sweet clover will
often get a start. Even in tough
gumbo soils sweet clover has been
known to do fairly we'll. Above all
the plant is hardy in Montana.
On the question of the best variety
for Montana conditions, the Extern
sion service advises that both the
white and the yellow flowered bien-
NAL varieties give satisfactory re-
suits. Experience has shown that the
white blossomed variety often pro-
duces more hay but it is also inclined
to become coarse. The yellow var
iety is finer stemmed and therefore
makes little better hay. 1t is about
two weeks earlier than the white.
While the white is grown more, the
yellow is increasing in popularity
and is usually preferred for pasture
and hay. Among the varieties of
white sweet clover, Arctic is little
finer and earlier than the other var
ieties.
Since sweet clover seed like other
legumes, sometimes has hard outer
coat which often delays termination,
the cleaned or sacrificed seed is rec
)mmended. In the scarifying process
he outer coat is removed, thus Civ
ng the seed a chance to terminate |
earlier, enabling the plant to get a |
good start before weed competition
starts.
A firm seed bed, we'll supplied with |
moisture is recommended for sweet |
,lover. Summer fallowed or corn |
tubble land is especially desirable.
shallow cultivation is recommended |
o keep down weeds and the top soil
hould be worked lightly to preserve
solid seed bed. Planting should be
one early in the spring, using from
light to II pounds per acre. Seed
hould be planted not more than one
alf inch deep. While there is more
r less risk connected with sowing
weet clover with nurse crop, this
ractice is usually recommended. If
nurse crop is used flax, peas, Mar
us wheat, barley and oats are pre-
erred in the order mentioned.

TEN CORN GROWERS REPORT
ON CORN COST PER ACRE

Ten Richland county corn growers,
working in cooperation with the
county agents office, report an aver
age labor cost of 1851 in growing an
acre of 1923 corn. The records were
kept on demonstration fields ranging
from five to nine acres, and covered
such operations as blowing, harrow
ing, dragging, planting and cultiva-
ton.
In computing the labor cost the
following bases of charges were used:
So for one, man and six horses for
10 hours, 81 for one man and four
horses for 10 hours, $6 for one man
and two horses for 10 hours and SO
for one man for 10 hours.
The record shows that the labor
cost of growing an acre of corn does
not vary much among any of the
growers.

CORN WINNING FAME FOR
The TREASURE STATE

Charles ID. Greenfield, agricul-
tural development agent in Mon
tana for the Great Northern rail-
road, who has but recently return
ed from a trip through the east,
says that Montana's fame as corn
producing state is winning the in
terest of the corn farmers operat-
ing on the high-priced lands of the
middle west.
''Montana's proven ability TO
produce corn which is the equal of
that grown in the older and more
famous corn belt of the United
States, is attracting the attention
of fine class of farmers in the
middle western states" says Mr.
Greenfield, land Montana may ex-
pect to receive @ large number of
new settlers from there in the fu-
ture.
1.-THE corn exhibits which the
Great Northern railroad, through
its agricultural department., has
placed in many towns and cities
through the east have proved to be
most important from a publicity
standpoint, because they attract
the attention of the class of farm
ers that Montana is anxious to in
terest, that is, farmers who have
sufficient funds and equipment to
enable them to get running start
IN whatever new country they may
elect to go to-"
Mr. Greenfield said one of the
Things which impressed him i'm the
east was the appalling ignorance
OF the people of that section re-
gard1ng the actual resources not
only of Montana but of the whole
northwest.
