TRAVELLING SEED SHOWS.

MOntana's travelling seed shows, or
iginated by the Montana Extension
service for the purpose of bringing
the highest quality seeds to the farm
er rather than expecting the farmer
to travel long distances to a state or
district seed show, received nation
wide attention in a recent article in
"The Seed World" by A. ]. Ogaard,
extension agronomist. Nh. Ogaard
is responsible for the travelling seed
show idea and the shows were con-
Quoted under his direction last spring.
According tc the agronomist the
travelling exhibits reached II counties
of the state and shows were held in
50 important farming communities.
More than 1,4OO farmers attended the
local shows.
The exhibits in each case contained
samples of MOntana's prize winning
grain which was exhibited at last
years international Hay and Grain
show at Chicago. With these exhib-
its Montana entered 26 different
classes and wen q per cent Of the
prize money in the classes entered, q
record unsurpassed by any state in
the Union. In addition to these IA
nous prize winning exhibits the local
shows also contained 1876 samples Of
the best grain exhibited at last win
ter's State Utility Seed show at Boze-
man, representing the highest quail
ity Of pure seed for sale in the state.
At each local shcw farmers also ex-
hibited samples of seed stocks which
they had for sale, thus making the
shows virtual seed exchanges, pro-
viding opportunity for the introdue-
ton Of pure seed on the farms.
Lectures were given at each Of the
seed shows and charts were used
showing the eccaomic value of substi-
tuting pure seed for the common kind
so frequently used. 1t was emphasized
especially that Montana must over
come her handicap of distance from
market by producing high quality
products.
Plans are now under way for hav-
ing still more extensive exhibits al
the travelling seed shows fer next
spring. Counties visited last sprng
are eager to continue this type d
work next year, and new countie:
have expressed desires to be included
in the 1926 itinerary Of the travelling
show.

Weekly News Letter
From State College.
]. C. TAYLOR,
POISONING RODENTS.
]. C. TAYLOR,

Through the expenditure Of $4,000
in rodent campaigns, Montana FARM
els were saved a loss Of $375,OOO dur
ing the fiscal year ending July 1, &C
cording to the annual report Of o. E.
Stephl, rodent control leader fer Mon
tana.
Montana farmers used approximate
ly 90 tons of strychnine treated grain
during the years effort to reduce the
losses from ground squirrels and
prairie dogs, and nearly 10000 farm
ers distributed the poison bait. Val
ley county led the counties of the
state in the use CT poison, 700 farm
ers there distributing 10000 pounds
Of bait.
Mr.. Stephl reports that as more
land is brought under cultivation
greater attention must be given to ro-
cent control as modern farming prac-
tees provide attractive conditions for
the increase Of ground squirrels.
The eras Of most serious gopher in
festations in the state are largely in
counties where agricultural agents
are employed and most Of the control
campaigns have been conducted IN
der the direction of these agencies.
In some counties campaigns are con-
Quoted on a county wide basis, the
county furnishing the materials fer
making the poison bait ard assess
ing the costs against the land Of the
county.
According to Mr.. Stephl, there are
two species of ground squirrels COM
mon in the state-the Colubian squir-
rel, which prefers the higher alti-
tudes in hills and mountains and the
Richardson squirrel which is found II
the level eastern half of the state
The Columbian squirrel is reported
as being on the increase, gradually
appearing further down into the val
lcss and in thc prairie country. This
squirrel is difficult to control sine,
the ordinary poison bats are less eff
fes..ve agairst them as in the cas-
of other squirrels and since they ar
found largely in the more Inaccessible
places. TIE Richardson squirrel, o.
the other hand, is easy to control, re
curing merely systematic and con
sistent effort in poisoning campaign.

CATTLE TESTING.

During the month CT June 429 herds

under the cooperative work of the
United States bureau of animal in
dustry and state livestock sanitary
board. In this work j. w. Murdoch
represents the bureau and DR.. W. J.

the state. There were 8,26S head #
cattle included in the herds tested in
June, bringing the total number of
nee tested cattle in the state up ia

The first lieutenant is aVerse TO Sneu-
ding blood under any circumstances
and therefore remains in camp. The
gallant captain charges with his dra-
goons, and kills three Indians. He re-
turns to camp, is put under arrest
and soon thereafter is tried by court
martial, dismissed from the service,
and as the first lieutenant takes the
place made vacant by the daring cap
tain, I expect to hear thunderous ap-
plause from the reserved seats. This,

In the meantime, owing to the

in relation to the route taken by the
Indians. The answer goes bobbing

Infantry Pursues
The secretary then wires to the
effect that all the available infantry
must at once be set in hot pursuit,
leaving the cavalry regiment to do
guard duty at the camp, the entire
company of infantry to march due
east, passing through the Porkopolis
Boulevarde entrance and thence on to
Floral hall, where, if no signs CT the
Indians are to be met with, they are
to fall back upon the camp and await
further orders. While the infantry
are absent the Indians will return

CHERISH ITS PRICELESS
TRADITIONS

OF all the historic places that be-
came noted because Of our war OF
independence there are none more
impressive in fact than is Valley
Forge, which is said to be neglected
and in deplorable condition.
It was here that the leadership Of
Washington and loyalty among his
troops overcame the severest WIN
ter Of discomfort in all the seven
years of that war. 1t was here
Washington prayed for guidance
and strength, while his enemies In
Congress were striving to take from
him the command of the army, which
Congress was neglecting to provi-
sion; it was here soldiers with but
one warm coat between them took
turns in guard duty; here came the
reports Of the British reveling among
the flesh-pots Of Philadelphia; here
men went hungry while rascally or
incompetent commissaries failed to
supply the provisions that had been
bought. 1t was at Valley Forge the
British expected the war to come to
an inglorious end.
We must not forget that 1t was
here faith. loyalty. leadership and
endurance in the face Of seemingly
insurmountable obstacles grimly
held to the task Of saving for indie
pendence q country that, judged by
some Of the things it was neglecting
to do for ehese defenders, may have
seemed not worth saving. 1t was
here the ragged army was trained by
Baron steuben and made more for
mldable. 1t was at Valley Forge the
decisive hour Of the American Revo
luton was passed. We owe to It
recognition. we should cherish it for
its priceless traditions.

Not so long ago the free traders
were telling us this country could
not continue to sell its products
abroad under a protective tariff. We
have the tariff and are increasing
our exports. In the matter Of food
exports alone this country last year
exported $127,0oS,SOO more in value
than during the previous year. The
tariff tinkerers are now keeping still
but undoubtedly hoping for the
worst to happen to our trade some
time before the next presidential
election.
