grain dealers refer to as "the desire

er before it is shelled than afterward;
and Smelling should be done only when
it is certain the corn can be cared for
afterward.
Artificial drying will go a long
way toward putting corn within the
moisture danger line; but in years
like the present, when the quantity
Of soft corn is very great, the dry
ing equipment Of country and term
inal elevators is not equal to the task
Of caring for all of it.
If every owner of soft corn waits
until late in the winter, or even early
spring, to begin moving his grain the
result may be disastrous. The driers
will then be swamped with wet corn.
much of which will go out Of condi-
ton very quickly when enclosed in
tight bins and box cars. Heavy loss
es will be unavoidable.
Move While Frozen
A much better plan would be to
move part of the corn while cold
weather continues.
The practice of sailing soft corn in
the ear undoubtedly is helpful, but
sailing is not a cure-all. It retards
the formation Of mOlds. II brings
much Of the wafer from the interiors
OF the ears to the I1rface whore it
may eVapOrate more readily. But
salt does not "dry" corn, and the
mere fact that a crib has beon sailed

Il thereafter.
Sailing Is Of very doubtful value
N the case Of shelled corn unless tho
srenary where it is stored is equip
ped to give thorough ventilation

The real time Of danger for soft

my Dear Gross:
Il take this opportunity 10 write
TO you and thank you and the good
people Of Missoula county and west
eTn Montana who were again so loyal
to me and to the Progressive cause
during the last campaign. It is Ger
tainly very gratifying to me to see
the vote that was given to the Pro-
gresive cause in spite Of the lack of
organization throughout the state and
in spite Of the fact that some of the
sO-called pnOgressives were doing all
that they could to disrupt the pro-
gressIVe forces in the state. The
value Of the real progressive papers,
such as the New Northwest, in any
section the state must be realized.
We ought to have more of them in
order to get the real facts to the
people Of the country.
81 have not time to thank each Of
the individual workers personally or
by letter, but trust that you will ex-
tend to them my sincere thanks.
Without organization throughput the
country and without money, yet our
total vote will run, I am quite sure,
over five million Of votes and this
in spite of the propaganda and in
that was carried on during
the last two or three weeks of the
