FARM SUCCESS

David Stewart Of Crane. Richlan,
county. Is credited over the state a
being one OF the outstanding corn mel
Of Montana. Mr.. Stewards success
varies from that of good many corr
men in that ne has been at the JOB {
great deal longer. Mr.. Stewart start
ed growing Dakota white flint Al
Crane In 1901 and since that time has
grown corn each year and has never
had failure. He reports that he has
never had yields Of less than 90 bush
els per acre and that his average yield
during that time has been between GO
and 20 bushels.
Mr.. Stewart is what might be called
corn crank He believes IN impF0v-
Ing things and this particularly applies
to what Is known a. the Stewart strain
OF Dakota white fiint He follows
best practices in cultural methods and
IN seed selection. Every year he has
field selected his seed corn. keeping
only the best type Of ears from the
kind OF plant he has thought best for
his own seed. AS a consequence, Mr..
Stewart has bred up perhaps the typi-
est and highest yielding strain Of Da-
kota white flint In the northwest
Mr.. Stewart has taken a great deal
of interest In corn shows and has
either taken or sent exhibits OF his
corn to the county corn shows. state
fair and state corn shows and has al
ways won the laurels on his corn. He
has the distinction of having won
sweepstakes in the 10 ears OF white
flint class at the state corn show at
Miles City for the last five years
straight and in addition to this his corn
has always made a similar showing at /
other fairs.
Mfr. Stewart has gone into the seed
production business and In co-opera.
hon with the Montana Seed Growers
Is putting on the market
several hundred bushels OF certified
'eed corn each year. He always has
more calls for seed than ne can fur
llsh at good prices and has wide
market Each year he sends seed corn
o a good many neighboring states and
asst year he sent a shipment Of seed
.orn to Russia for experimental pur-
'oses.
Mr.. Stewart does not believe in con
ming his efforts to corn alone. He ]
lways markets the corn crop that ne
oes not save for seed, with hogs and
q addition grows a few potatoes each
ear, good garden and milks a few
ows. He has made good and he !
redlts his success to diversification
nd sticking with the job.

Robberx MotIvs for crIme

Mexico Clty.-The belief of the Mex
lean government that robbery was the
principal motive for the killing OF Mrs.
Rosalie Evans, the British subject who
was shot to death from ambush near
Texmelucan August 2, was reiterated
In foreign office bulletin relative to
the case Just issued. OFFICIALS pre-
viously had expressed their disbelief
that the crime was the result OF the
agrarian agitation which aimed at
forcing Mrs. Evans to consent to the
division OF her hacienda the legal pro
ceedings IN which had become en- In.
cldent between the Mexican and Brit.
ish governments, although this posi-.
bllity Is conceded.
The foreign office bulletin echoes
the expressions OF President Obregon
In calling attention to the energy
which the federal and state authori.
ties are pushing the inquiry into the
case and endeavoring to run down the
assasslns.
