Farm and Home week, Just
closed at Montana State college,
was one of the most successful
events of its kind ever held in
the state. Farmers and farm
women from all parts of Montana
we're in attendance, 218 being
registered for the meetings.
Starting with the convention of
the Montana Irrigation and
Drainage institute which at.
tracted irrigatiOnists from the
neighbOFing states and provinces
as well as from the irrigation
projects of Montana, the interest
continued until the last HOIstein
COW was sold at the pure bred
HOIstein sale Saturday after
noon.
The meeting of the Irrigation and
Drainage institute urged the passage
Of law in Montana similar to the
Ohio or Illinois laws which would
make tax deeds valid and would there
fore bring about a more ready sale OF
delinquent tax lands. The institute
went on record for legislation which
would limit the use of range in Mon.
tana to certain types of horses which
have little value. A resolution was
also passed urging adequate approp
riations for the maintenance of the
work of the Montana State college

BOBCAT HOOPSTERS
HAVE TWO GAMES
THIS week
Meet Normal College Tomorrow
Night and School of Mines
Friday - Strong Conference
Teams Coming.

The State college Bobcats will
take on two collegiate teams in
basketball this week, meeting
Montana Normal college here on
Thursday and the Montana Mines
on Friday night Little is known
of the strength Of either of the
visiting teams and the Bobcats
are preparing to go at top speed
for both games.
TEAM LACKS PRACTICE
Coach Romney has a good looking
bunch of men out for basketball. but
a team that has not had much prac-
tice to date. They were beaten last
week by the North Dakota Aggies,
largely because of the superior train
ing and physical condition of the visi-
tors. The Dakota team had been 60
ing steadily since November II while
the Bobcats were just getting started
Coach Rcmney starts with Hart
wig at center, Hatfield at guard, and
Glynn as forward from last years
regulars. Cottam, the other regular
forward, was a regular last year but
played in only about half the games
McGuin, the ether regular guard, was
a regular two years ago but was oui
of the play much of last year because
of sickness.
Bobcats Must Win
This week will be one of the mes
interesting weeks for the fans, since
they win have chance to measure
the Bobcat ability before the strong
Denver university and Wyoming uni
versity teams come in the next tw'
weeks. Victory over both Mines ant
Normal will be necessary if the Bob
cats are to make a bid for the stat
championship, although it is admit
ted that conference showing is con
sidered more important this year.

WILSON DISCUSSES
AGRICULTURAL ILLS
And THEIR Remedy
Balanced Production Must Ac-
company Cooperative Mar
. keting to Stabilize Prices, He
Declares
Government Working Out Way
to Keep Farmers Informed
on Price Trend


Montana State college extension
service, but now with the United
States department of agricul-
ture in Washington, discussed
farm problems before the XII
wants club Monday and told in
plain words how the farmer may
work out his own salvation with
the help of the agricultural de-
partment.
BALANCED PRODUCTION
Cooperative marketing will help,
but it must be accompanied by bal
anced production, he declared, in or
der that the law of supply and de-
mand may not work to bring down
the price of any crop which may be
bringing a good price.
He cited the "pcrk-corn' ratio of
prices in the corn belt, where high
hog prices are accompanied by low
corn prices, followed the next year
by an overproduction of pork and a
corn shortage, causing a reversal Of
the cycle with low pork and high
corn; this, in turn, bringing back
corn surplus and a pork shortage.
Condition General
This is a general condition in agri-
culture, he said.
Barring adverse weather conditions,
it may be depended to operate invari-
ably, and this is a condition which
must be overcome before farming
can take its place with other indus
tries which are highly organized and
specialized, and which so control the
output of their products that high
prices are not followed by overpro-
I duction and consequent lowering OF
price Levels.
Farming is a family affair, ne said
There the some 6,5oO,OOO farm units
operating in this country and they
naturally desire to get the largest
possible returns from their crops.
Largely through lack of informa
tion upon the crop outlook, they have
been unable to guage probable pro
ducticn and thus have been following
up high prices with increased pro
duction the next year, resulting il
> lower prices.
Work on Remedy
Mr.. Wilson declared that the bu
reau of agricultural economics i

of the country information upon pro
; duction and other factors, which vii
enable them to regulate the flow o
their products into the market, thu

through preventing overproduction.

TWO ATHLETIC WONDERS

Even among those who pay little attention to athletic contests, the remarkable performances of two phe- nominal champions have recently at tracted wide attention.
 They are Wayne Big" Mum, for merly Nebraska football star and now worlds champion wrestler, and Paavo Nurmi, the invincible Finnish long distance runner.
 Mum has within the past few months vanquished all opponents in sensational fashion, including Ed "Strangler" Lewis and Stanislaus Zbysko, former worlds champions, and Mike Romano, mighty Italian wrestler. Tn each contest Mum has been able to pick up his powerful rival bodily, hurl him to the mat and leap upon him, holding him there.
 Mum is only a youngster and with little professional wrestling experi ence, yet he beat these seasoned vet erans with comparative ease. He promises to hold the championship for years to come.
 Nurmi, who took practically al the running honors at the Olympic games last year, has broken more than a score of worlds records since coming to America, setting many O them that will never be equalled.
 One of his most remarkable per formances was that of running twt miles in eight minutes, fifty-eigh and one-fifth seconds. It has beer

A JUDGES NINE POINTS

In keeping with the policy of giv- ing newly naturalized citizens some good advice upon their assuming the duties of citizenship, a New York judge laid down nine points for the benefit of a group of more than one hundred, whom he had just nat uralized. He said:
 "Devote yourself to self-improve- ment and to efficiency in your occu- patton.
 Establish a family.
 Be neighborly with your neigh bors
 Cultivate friends.
 Respect your parents
 Be loyal to your wife.
 Educate and bring up your child ren to be useful citizens.
 Save and guard your savings.
 Beware of the man who wants to sell you a gold brick"
 These are good commandments" for all citizens whether foreign born or not. Especially valuable is his sug- gestion for self improvement.
 Even the busiest of persons could usually find half hour or more each day for the study of one or more useful subjects or the reading of a good book, which would in time add greatly to his culture, as we'll as to his earning capacity.
 The average farm boy or young man has more leisure time than Lin coin had, but how many put is to profitable use? Town boys often spend hours watching a pool game or in some other equally useless pastime, when they might be fitting themselves for good job.
 The judge quoted above knows what he is talking about and his ad vice is worthy of earnest considera. tion by all who desire to be useful citizens.

POLICY ON TRAP-cLOSING RULE

The Bureau of Fisheries evidently intends this year to proceed with the literal enforcement of the regulation issued in 1924 regarding the weekly closing of salmon traps in Alaska. This is indicated by a letter just re- ceived from Commissioner O'Malley, saying:
 There was much controversy in Alaska last season in regard to re- Quirements as to the manner of ad- justing fish traps during the weekly closed period. On June 9, 1924, the Bureau notified it's employees and others concerned that during any closed period provided by law or, reg ulations there should be full and complete insistence upon the require ment that 25 feet of the heart walls on each side next 10 the pot should be lifted or lowered in such man. ner as to permit the free passage of fish. This did away with the pre- yious practice generally followed Of a much smaller V-shaped opening in the heart walls.
 Floating traps are required to have an opening at least 25 it. in width and not less than 12 feet in depth.
 This action is clearly in line with the decision rendered July 31, 1924, by Judge Reed in the District Court of Alaska, which was sustained by the Circuit Court of Appeals by it's decision of December 15, 1924"

mands. In the realms of letters and art the task is difficult enough.
 Just about the time one thinks he has a bright new idea, he discovers that someone else has beaten him to it, probably centuries ago. So aside from discussing current events, it seems that about all writer can do is to present old ideas in new forms, perhaps embellishing them in the light of recent experience.
 Nearly all present day literary compositions and oratorical efforts contain many borrowed ideas and some remind one of certain candi- dates speech. After delivering his address, the candidate asked a friend what he thought of it and the friend replied:
 Your speech contain much that was original and much that was good. But unfortunately that which was good was not original, and that which was original was not good.'

FARM LEGISLATION

Thomas Clark Atkeson, Washing ton representative of the National Grange since 1919, has recently writ ten some interesting "reminiscences for a leading magazine He is seven ty-three years of age and one of the foremost authorities on agriculture in America, having been overseer of the National Grange for If years and head of the West Virginia State Grange for 43 years.
 His duties at Washington have been in connection with farm legislation and he speaks with high authority. Two statements in his articles just published are significant, He says:
 If every proposal put forward for the benefit of agriculture had been of congress, the treasury of the U. S. would have been bankrupt and the farmers of tlre country ten times worse off than they are now.
 The second statement referred 10 is this:
 "The reward that is to come to the farmers of America will depend largely upon the skill and intelligence of the farmers themselves.
 The inference is plain. While farmers should have representation in Washington to guard their inter csts so far as possible, the idea that Congress can ever by passing laws make the farmers prosperity assuI ed is unspeakably foolish.
 In most cases the expense of gov ernment machinery supposed to aid the former will cost him more than il is worth As Mr. Atkeson so truly says, the farmer must depend upon his own skill and intelligence if he hopes to succeed.

WHERE WOULD HE WORSHIP?

Occasionally someone raises the question of what Jesus would do if he happened to appear on earth to- day in the midst of our complex civilization.
 One eminent divine few years ago ran a Topeka daily newspaper for one week as he imagined Christ would conduct it. Others have spec ulated on how he might view the other phases of modern business and social life, were he to appear for an other stay on earth.
 Some have wondered what church he would attend, and how he would de disposed towards the numerous de- nominations which have arisen in His name. each of which, naturally, considers itself superior to all oth- CTS.
 We don't pretend to answer this question. but from the record of His life, as recorded in the Gospels, 1t would not be surprising if He might be often found worshipping on some street corne ramong the humble sol diers of the Salvation Army.
