what Experts Buy.

Trained investors always buy Sc
curities that have a substantial loan
value. One Of the surest methods OF
determining the value of any stock
Is to seek a loan on it. If your banker
declines to consider it as collateral
you can rest assured it's marketability
does not amount to much.

HIGH PRAISE FOR
VIDA COMMUNITY
GRIFFIN AND NOBLE JOIN IN
ACCORDING CREDIT FOR
PROSPERITY

James Griffin, appraiser for the
Federal Land Bank OF Spokane, in
letter to VIM. W. Dean, president
of the First State Bank of Vida,
praises the conditions of the Vida
territory as shown by the record of
the Hay Greek National Farm Loan
Association of Vida According to
Mr.. Griffin six years ago applications
were received in the Vida section
asking that a National Farm Loan
Association be organized which or
ganization was perfected and forty
one loans received by farmers aggre-
eating $102,000.00 up to January
31st, 1924. Mr.. Griffin states that
not in one instance since that time
has he, as collector had any trouble
in collecting interest, which is of
course a remarkable record for any
Federal Farm Loan association.
1t goes to prove that the associa-
tion is located on one of the best ter
ritories in the state and Mr.. Griffin
believes the reason for the record is
that this section is a proven farming
section and has stood the test; that
good crops have been harvested each /.
year in that territory and 81 IL
lieves that section is making a rapid
stride along the same farming lines, (
developing corn, summer fallow,
hogs and dairying and is bound to be
sure to win.
Vida Bank Gets Credit
In addition to the progressive farm
ers in the Vida territory as we'll as
,he fertility of their land credit
should be given to the progressive
ness and the constructive program
hat has been conducted by the First
State Bank Of that place through its ]
asher, P NJ. Kresbach, who has been
lp and coming in the line of diversi-
led farming and was instrumental
n conducting demonstrations in corn, ]
Introducing hogs and stimulating
airying, livestock and sheep where
yer possible and undoubtedly has l
cen the foundation of this progress.
b fact, the First State Bank Of Vida
as performed a lot of the duties of
n extension agent in a way chat has
OF results and proven them.-D. B.

EXPERTS CUESSES
WIDE OF THE MARK
LOCAL BOY WINS CORN GERMI-
NATION CONTEST-PROVES
NEED OF ACTUAL TEST

John DeLaHunt of Wolf Point
was the lucky winner of the $500
prize given away by the Northern
Montana Corn and Seed Show on the
termination guessing contest Out of
the 500 guesses a larger per cent of
which were turned in by expert corn
4 growers, John DeLaHunt won first,
missing the correct figure by only
$50 points. This termination guess
ing contest was contest of educa-
tional nature to show and designate
clearly that the termination Of corn
or any other seed for that matter,
could not be determined by merely
examining it by the eye and that it
was only through running the germi-
nation test that the vitality of the
seed could be determined, which was
found to be true through these
guesses. Some of the most expert corn
growers were the furthest off which |
proves the hazard of not testing /
seed corn especially in years like this
when there is bound to be a lot of /
damaged germs.
This should serve as a lesson to all
farmers who are going to plant corn
this next year to make good rag doll
testers that viii cost nothing by US
ing flour sack and test their corn
hetc.e nlas IS. it, Testing seed corn
will save dollars and lot of hard
work if the seed is poor in vitality +
for further on into the season it will
be found that a poor stand will be the
result. Seed corn can be tested now
)r any time before the planting sea-
son when a person is not very busy
md special precautions should be 4
aiken to do this.
On the guesses turned in on the
guessing contest the
orrect termination of every ear T
las recorded under the guess of each
erson and the PERSONS guess will be
nailed back to them showing how far r
ney missed it and showing the
azard of trying to guess the seed !,
orn's vitality. Undoubtedly every +
erson who guessed at this contest a
nd who is going to plant corn next
ear will take pains to test his corn
'ther than risk a stand on large =
;reage through neglecting to make L
e test. a
Another similar contest will be held q
the Fourth Annual Northern Mon 4
ma Corn and Seed Show that viii 81
held at Glasgow, Valley County,
