Youtbs Beat publicity scheme

When the Rev. Father Schultz con-
ceived the idea OF advertising the mu-
sIcal comedy given in the Margaret
theater at Anaconda under the aus
pices OF st. Paul's Dramatic club, by
sending 10 tickets to the show and
as many bags Of candy into the air by
the aid Of balloons, he failed to reckon
with the minute men of the present
generation.
The balloons were liberated on the
campus at St Paul's school. and as
soon as they ascended to a height Of
about 100 feet the wind carried them
toward the eastern part of the city.
The first balloon had travelled less
than three blocks when 1t was seen
to collapse and fall TO the ground. Sew
eral blocks further on a second follow
ed the same course. By the time the
city limits had been reached. the ma
jority of the tickets and bags of candy
were in the hands OF the youngsters
Inquiry disclosed the fact that several
juvenile sharpshooters, armed with air
guns had turned the trick.

DITCH is COMPLETED FOR
DIVERSION or POWDER RIVER

The ditch above the steel bridge at
Broadus has been completed and is
ready to function as a new course for
Powder river in the hope Of dlverting
the channel to make It reclaim the
bridge by again throwing the main cur
rent under the bridge. The work Of
excavation has been done under the
foremanship Of Alex Campbell. Many
men and their teams have been en-
ployed on the project the last two
weeks Water was struck at the bot
tom Of the ditch, which has a maximum
width Of SO feet. Only small neck
OF sand now separates the 1,300-foot
ditch at its intake with the river.
Water could now be diverted into the
artificial channel, but II VIII not be
opened until the head OF water is of
sufficient force to do the work expect
ed of It, dIverting the river from It's
present course to the new course
planned for it.
It is the popular understanding that
once the channel OF the river is again
under the bridge the county will COM
plete the work by installing either
rock crib or cement pier and install
another wing to the bridge on its west
ern approach to again open the bridge

FARMERS INTERESTED
IN CORN IMPROVEMENT
County Agent TeIls Of Tests Now
Being Conducted In Phillips
County

A great deal of interest Is shown
this year In corn Improvement work In
Phillips county, according to County
Agent Lantk. Ten strain and variety
tests are being conducted in different
parts of Phillips county. Much diff
ference In type, yield and maturity Of
Northwestern Dent corn was discov-
cred last year In a check Of the three
different strains OF this variety. This
year different strains Of the leading
varieties will be tested out
Some Of the farmers who have already
planted selected seed corn are
finding out that the cheap seed corn is
proving very expensive since II will
be necessary to replant some OF the
fields. Most of the crib corn was not
selected for maturity or hardness OF
starch. The soft, starchy kernels rot
very quickly in damp soil which makes
It dangerous undertaking for a man
10 sell seed corn unless he really has
carefully selected and dried corn for
sale. Crib corn is not dependable for
seed purposes One sample may test
100 per cent termination, another
sample from the same crib may test
80 per cent. Any man selling this kind
of corn should not guarantee germina-
ton II he wishes to avoid trouble.
The variety tests, for number Of
years have proved that the flint corns

Montana. The Northwestern Dent out
yields all other dents in fodder and
corn production The Brown County
Dent and Pioneer White Dent are
about equal In yields Of grain and fod-
der The Minnesota 13 corn gave a
heavy yield Of corn where our variety
plots were checked up in October, but
was not equal to Brown County Dent
when the check was made the first
part OF September. Minnesota % Is a
good corn for early maturity but the
yield is somewhat less than the other
varieties.

tion in Washington and Oregon, Will
be introduced to the farmers Of Mon
tnna. Construction specifications have
been sent TO all county agents from the
extension agronomlsts office at BOze-
man.
One Of the new machines Is especial
~ adapted to the heavier soils and is
an improved type of the familiar
gooseneck slicker. An ordinary goose
neck sllcker may be transferred into
the new type implement by replacing
the tail board with a dump board
frame which enables the operator to
dump and clean the machine without
stopping or alighting. For the lighter
soils whore any stationary weeder has
proven effective. the special type Of
iron frame double rod weeder is strong
ly recommended. This type Of weeder
is very easily handled and is of lighter
draft than the ordinary wooden runner
type.
In addition to these two types Of
county agents are also ad-
yIsIng farmers how they may convert
the old worn out grain drill into an
duck=foot cuitivHtor with an

A plan 10 interest the Indian farm.
ers OF the Belknap reservation In
sugar beet growing has been evolved
as a result Of a discussion Of the sub
ject by the executive committee Of the

brought out In the discussion that
there were large number of irrigated
holdings held by allotment by Indian
farmers In the valley of the reserva-
tion where conditions were suitable for
beet growing and that when the pros
pect Of sugar factory In the valley
was under consideration a number Of
years ago that one Of the sugar COM
panies had been greatly interested in
the possibility of securing beets from
that source.

II could he shown that the Indian
farmers could be started In the rails
ing OF beets that the possible acreage
In that section Of the valley would be
a material help IN inducing some sugar
company to put factory in this valley.
It was therefore decided to visit su-
Marshall at the reserva-
tion and discuss the matter with him.
