COOPERATIVE MARKETING

Farmers cooperative ventures in
Montana last year did more than
100000 worth of business, according
to a report issued by E. H. Lott, as
sistant county agent leader at Mon

county where extension work is car
ried on now has some form of coop.
erative marketing enterprise.
There were "a of such organizations
in the state last year, says Mr.. Lott.
which number does not include the

association. In the half million dol

mateIy $4,000 was made.

Tests made On 2,7OO samples of

intendent CT the laboratory. The av-
erage termination of the grain and
forage seed was less than 80 per
cent.
Tests for purity of seed showed a
variation of from 76.45 per cent to
1922 per cent, with an average of
$3.50 per cent.
In addition to grain and forage
there were 1857 samples of vegetable
seed and ISL samples of flower seed
tested. termination Of vegetable seed
varied from 47.2 per cent to 91.3 per
cent with an average OF TT, and
flower seed termination varied from
33.1 per cent to 1919 per cent with an
average of 500.
Seed of legumes such as alfalfa,
clover, peas, beans, and SO on, have
another limiting factor of Importance
in the percentage of hard seed. says
Mr.. Whitcomb. Tests made of alfalfa
seed showed that 90 per cent of the
more than 400 samples contained hard
seed and the average per centage of
hard seed was 20.6. Hard seed was
found in SO per cent of the sweet
clover samples with an average OF
i28.4 per cent of such seed. Alsike,
red clover and white clever also
showed a high percentage of hard
seed. Peas were lowest in the list
with so per cent of the samples sub.

average of 8 per cent of such seed in
the samples.
The tests indicate, according to Mr..
Whitcomb, that the planting Of I'M

venture. Seed that has but a so per

amount of seed is planted. However.
if the farmer knows that the seed viii

her resources, but does not-and this
fact should be RENE embered-excite the
protest OF any part OF her population
or her political parties. for all Poles
are united in complete understanding
of their history and their present
periis.
What ono calls Polish militarfYm is
the simple and unacceptable conse-
quence of a century and third of
subsection to foreign rule. In the sew
enteenth century Poland was a na
ton larger than Prussia, with an en-
lightened government and striking
degree of civilization. In the next
century internal divisions led to for
eign invasion; three times the neigh
bors of Poland operated upon Polish
frontiers and the third amputation di-
vided the last vestige of Polish ter
ritory between Russia, Prussia and
Austria.
Torn in World War.
Napoleon revived Polish hopes for a
moment with his Grand Duchy of
Warsaw. but with his collapse Poland
passed again to the state of a di-
vided and subject state, and from
1915 to 1914 the Poles were con-
demned to an alien rule. When the
World War came an even more cruel
fate overlook them. Poles in Russia
were condemned to fight Poles Of
Prussia and Austria, while Poland
became the battle ground of the con-
tending states. Invasion and counter
invasion swept over the plains and
a nf a
country which was not devastated or
swept clean Of all that armies could
use or consume.
In November, 1918, when the Ger
mans withdrew, there was the start
of a restoration of national existence,
but not long after the peace confer
ence had sketched Polish frontiers
there came, in 1920, the new war with
Russia and another invasion swept
eastward to the Vistula and a new
host thundered at the gates OF War
saw. And from this supreme disaster

Menaced by Germany.
Today Poland confronts a Germany
which has again and again announced
that she will not accept the eastern
frontiers of the Paris settlement,
while beyond the darkness Of the bor-
derlands on the other side there is
always the menace Of q return either
of q Bolshevist attack or of an even
tual effort of a new imperial Russia
to regain the lost Polish provinces
possessed before 1915.
For Poland, then, the army and the
alliances which rest upon the army
constitute the single basis of even
approximate security. Were there no

still number 100000, would be in

TRICKY AUTO ACT
THRILLS P STREET
Car Smashes Post, Mail Box
and Climbs Terrace,
Driver Unhurt.

An unheralded demonstration of the
fndestructibflity and thickness of the
modern automobile was given early
today when j. A. Logan of 2116 Kalo-
rama road paid a surprise visit to the
residents of the house at Twenty first
and p streets before a large and appre-
ciative audience.
1t is hard to say which was the
more surprised, Mr.. Logan or the
residents. 1t might be well to men
tion at this point that the now his

This automobile, which has been
taught many tricks, would have made
a valuable addition to the Tank Corps
during the war. It was not drafted
because of it's youth, it is under
stood. In any event it demonstrated
its prowess in convincing manner
today.
Demolishing the lamppost, knock
ing over the mail box, crossing the
sidewalk and mounting the terrace,
its bumper was just about to ring the
doorbell when Mr.. Logan called a halt
to its activities.
Driver Unscratched.
While startled residents peered out
OF the windows, some probably be-
lieving that the next step was to
have the car play tune on the par
lor piano, Mr.. Logan clambored out
unscratched. The car, when finally
subdued showed only a bent bumper,
twisted axle and a Inarred fender.
Mr.. Logan, in explaining the acct
dent, which spectators declared was
a miraculous escape from death or
serious injury, said that while driv-
ing south on Twenty-first street at
the intersection of Twenty-flrst and
p streets, a fast-running car on the
latter street caused him to pull
sharply off to the left to avoid a col
lsion.
1T was the only thing I could do"
he said, "and l guess 1 had a lucky
escape"
His story was corroborated by E. B.

imminent in Italy, even in Germany,
Had the Polish barrier been swept
away there was nothing in the shape
of organized force to interrupt boil
shevist advance to the Rhine and to
the Alps, where allied armies stood.
European masses had not recovered
from the strain and misery of the war
and general convulsion was far from
improbable.
Thus, in a real sense, the victory
of the Poles at RadZymin was as
important for European civilization
as that of Sobieski under the walls
of Vienna centuries before, when an
other Polish army defeated the last
and most dangerous of the Turkish
invasions into Europe. Had the Poles
been defeated at Vienna the Turks
would have been able to sweep all
eastern and central Europe, yet the
service of Poland was promptly for
gotten and the countries Immediately
