BUSTING FOR SMUT"

Under the above title the Montana State College
Experiment service recently issued a booklet
showing how this process could be carried out
cheaply on the farm.
Discussing the new method of seed treatment,
the Helena Record-Herald says:
At this time of year spring wheat growers before
planting treat their wheat seed with a chemical prepara-
tion<to destroy smut spores. That is, the careful and
prudent farmers do, and since smut has been costly to
wheat farming in some parts of the state, the wisdom of
this procedure is beyond question. A new anti-smut agent
will be extensively used this year in all probability, as
an improvement upon older smut killers. This agent is
carbonate of copper.
In Valley county, a news story lately said, this agent
will displace formaldehyde, used heretofore. The loss
from smut annually in the county named was given at
100000, and authorities interested in the success of agri-
culture there have been urging the universal use among
farmers Of the treatment.
This precaution can be taken at a very small cost II
has been pointed out, and therefore should become a
routine farming method in Montana among wheat growers
Since the seeds from the smut plant, which are verv
small and light, are carried long distances by the wind
the only safe way to deal with the pest is by treating the
seed with the chemical every year.
The new anti-smut preparation, used in dust form, is
said to have advantages in that it can be applied in shorte,
time, more conveniently and more easily, differs from
other agents in that it does not reduce the vigor or ger
minative power of the seed, and is required in smalle,
quantity. With such treatment less seed is needed I,
plant an acre, and it may be planted in dry ground. Tn,
wheat kernels, however, must be uniformly covered will
the copper carbonate dust. The grain and the dust. tw,
ounces to the bushel, are put in a machine like a chnvn
and mixed by turning.

CLEANUP WEEK

Bozeman citizens are urged by the mayor and
the chamber of to clean and paint up
their premises next week.
This is a good idea, and one which should be
heartily endorsed by everyone in the city.
We have attained the title of "The City Beau
tiful," not only by reason of the magnificent
mountain scenery hereabouts but because of our
WeTl-kept homes and lawns, our splendid shade
trees and our beautiful garden flowers.
And the cleanup campaign has an economic
aspect of wide significance.
If the rubbish is all hauled away and disposed
of, a serious fire hazard is thereby eliminated.
So the Cleanup week will not only add to the
beauty and attractiveness of our city but will
lessen the likelihood of serious fires.

Editorial Comment
AUTO REGISTRATIONS INCREASE

An increase of nearly so percent over last year
is shown by figures compiled by the state license
bureau at the close of business on April 80.
Automobile prices have decreased in an inverse
ration with increased efficiency and reliability,
so that the automobile is no longer regarded as a
luxury. 1t is really a necessity.
Discussing autOmobiling 20 years ago, the
Helena Independent says:
If you look over the Twenty Years Ago" columns of
newspapers which feature these excerpts from the office
files, you will be surprised to find that if a man succeeded
in making 10 or Is miles by automobile, he was con-
sidered to have accomplished a great feat.
For instance, a South Dakota newspaper reproduced
some items recently and among them was one which told
how the present senator of the state, Norbeck, had travelled
a distance of a hundred and fifty miles, taking several
days to make the trip and abandoning his car and return
ing home by rail. Afterward he went back and got it.
This incident stands out as a reminder of the short time
which has elapsed since an automobile trip Of $50 miles
was an unusual and uncertain overture.
1t used to be, say 25 years ago, that an automobile
driver who could return from a 2O-mile trip under his own
power was regarded as something of a hero.
The instances of getting hauled in from relatively short
trips were almost as numerous as the successful voyage.
1t was not pleasing to the vanity, either, to guide a dead
car behind a pair of plodding dobbins. The great mass
of people did not own automobiles then and frankly
revealed in the recurring embarrassments of those who
did own them.
The ordinary opinion among practical folks, 25 years
ago, was that "the automobile might work out all right
in travelling the paved streets in cities, but would never
be Of much use on country roads"
In glancing back to the highways of that time, the
%skepticism is easily understood. The wonder is that in
dividuals Of courageous vision ignored the handicaps anC
plunged ahead.

ERA FOR
AGRICULTURE

New York; new era lies ahead
for agriculture because it nov com
mands the best economic thought Of
the business world directed on it's
prime requirements Of better distribu-
ton and marketing, President w. G.
Gordon OF the State Bank Division,
American Bankers Association, de-
clares in a recent communication to-
the thirteen thousand members Of
the division. He seeks to enlist their
interest in the work Of improving the
marketing Of farm products.
"The farmer today finds himself
Tar removed from his cOnsumeF-eus-
toner by a long line of intermediate
agencies. which often leave him in a.
position of disadvantage as an in.

should seek to apply to agriculture
those principles OF production and.

He goes on to call attention to the

ton by the Agricultural Conference,
urging study OF it.

THEY'RE STILL CRYING

Proponents of the late and unlamented league
of nations are still weeping because Uncle Sam
was not roped into the European shell game.
They say that Won Hindenburg's election as
president of Germany presages a revival of the
monarchy and another World war.
They say that had the United States been in
the league this would never have happened, and
so on, ad infinitum, adj nauseam.
But they seem to conveniently overlook the
fact that the league has been ignored, flOuted and
otherwise treated in a rude and unkind manner
by those same nations which were so anxious for
Uncle Sam to sign on the dotted line and be for
ever afterwards bound thereby.
Had the league possessed the courage to settle
the PREPARATIONS matter, the Intervention of the
United States via the Dawes plan would have
been necessary.
The Graeco-Italian imbroglio was settled in
the good old-fashioned way after Mussolini told
the league to go jump in the lake or words to that
effect.
Many other wars and near wars have been and
are now brewing in Europe and the league sits
by and calmly lets EN- brew.
If the United States must be a member in order
to make the league function it seems sef-evident
that Uncle Sam would be the goat when any men
or money were needed to carry out its rulings.
This country gives its neighbOrs a square deal,
pays it's debts and leans over backwards at times
in turning the other cheek rather than resort to
war. And it scrupulOusly carries out its obliga-
tions.
The only real steps which have been taken
since the end Of the World war toward disarm-
ament, the O~utlawing Of war and the sterilization
of Europe we're planned in the United States and
put over by Americans-the Washington confer
ence on the limitation Of naval araments and the
Dawes plan.

compare their own country's record with the per-

STRAIGHT TALKS
WITH AUNT EMMY
On Signing Papers for Strangers

did you hear about the terrible
thing that happened to Mrs. Thomp.
son, Aunt Emmy?" asked Maud. "It
seem that a man came to see her to
ask her to invest in some securities
his firm was selling, and she said she
did not have any ready money. He
asked her if she had some Liberty
Bonds, and she showed him her one

He told her that there were a number
Of counterfeit bonds about and upon
examining her bond said there were
some marks that indicated it might be
spurious. Poor Mrs. Thompson near.

tell her what to do about it.
"He told her not to be unduly alarm
ed, that there was a chance that he
was mistaken. His firm was indig-
nant. he said, about the counterfeit
bonds that had been foisted on the
public and intended to do everything
in its power to run down the culprits.
They employed a man who was an
authority on ~counterfeits and he could
tell in a minute If her bond was good
or not. So Mrs. Thompson let him
have the bond tO take to his Office for
examination"
"And, Of course. he didn't bring Il
back" commented Aunt Emmy.
Worse than that" Maud went on.
HE said that being a widow. she
should be very careful in her business
dealings, so he made her sign what he
called a receipt, although she didn't
] read it. About a week after his visit
she received a number Of shares OF
stock that she says she never heard
Of and certainly never bought. So she
wrote to the investment house the
stock came from and said she thought
a mistake had been made. Imagine
her surprise when she was informed
that she had signed an order for those

WELCOME, WOODMEN!

Bozeman welcomes the delegates assembled
here today for the state camp of the Modern
Woodmen of America.
These men are representative citizens of the
various counties in the state-men of integrity
who have been chosen by their "neighbors" to
participate in the deliberations of the state con-
V%ention.
The Modern WOodmen of America is the strong
est ~fraternal insurance order in the world.
1t is doing a wonderful work for it's members
and their dependents, not only through its in
surance feature, but with it's big tuberculosis sani-
tarium in Colorado and it's various benevolences.
The many fraternal orders have a real place in
present-day life. Their members are assured of a
helping hand in times of adversely and thousands,
perhaps millions, of widows and orphans in this
country have reason to be thankful that the de-
parted husband and father was affiliated with
one or more of such organizations.
We welcome the Modern Woodmen in session
here, not only as visitors from other parts of the
state, but as representatives of a mighty Organiza-
ton which is doing its share in making the path
way a little smoother for those whose feet are
unaccustOmed to the rocky roads which must
be encountered as we journey through life.
