THE CURE

Here is Governor Lowden's.
cure for Ike existing ills of ag-
riculture.
Farmers cooperative mark
citing associations--there is no
other way out. | can forsee the
day, / think, when everything
produced upon the farm will be
marketed by the farmers them
selves through an organization
of their own creation. / like to
think of the time when the rep
resentatives of all these great
farmers organizations shall
meet in congress once year
and shall there work out a pro-
gram for the future, just as
other industries now meet an
nually for the purpose of form
ing an intelligenty and coop
erative program for the year.
At such meeting. If it shall
appear that one branch of agri-
culture is expanding more rap
idly than conditions warrant,
steps will be taken to restore
the balance as between that and
the other activities of the farm.
In this way we shall achieve
balanced agriculture. Even
more desirable, however, we
shall restore the proper balance
between agriculture--the great
est of all industssiee and other
business activities in this or
ganized world In which we find
ourselves. There can be no en-
during prosperity unless all the
principal industries which go to
make up the commercial world,
keeping step with one another,
shall march abreast.

Montana seed corn which last winter
tested from 80 to 95 is in many cases
dropping down to from 30 to 70 per
cent termination in spring tests, adj
vises A. j. 0gaard, extension agro-
nomist at Montana State College. This
means that every farmer who will
plant corn should test his seed, regard
less of whether it was tested last win
ter or not. The figures quoted indi-
cate that earlier tests were not repre-
sentative of the entire supply of seed
corn.
In explaining the situation Mr..
Ogaard suggests that corn for last
winters tests probably was selected
from the outside of seed corn drying
racks and that this corn showed a
higher percentage of termination than
corn near the centers of racks where
the drying was not as thorough be-
cause of poor circulation.

Sodium fuoride is recommended as
an effective exterminator of lice on
chickens. The powder mixed with
four parts of -four, tale or road dust
can be busted on the birds with a
shaker pinch of the sodium fiuoride
may be placed next to the skin of the
birds on the head, neck, breast, below
the vent, under the wings, on the back
and on the shanks; or birds may be
dipped in solution of three fourths
of an ounce of sodium fiuoride to each
gallon of tepid water. When the dip
ping method is used birds should be
dipped feet first with feathers ruffied
80 that the poison will reach the skin.
This should be done only on warm
sunny days when the birds win dry
quickly.

Surprising Command
She had a surprising command Of

her. She appropriated words and
phrases from the best of our litera-

uses.
l did not know whether to laugh
or cry or stand up to salute a great
artist.
She flung the sandwich into a cor
ner. The cockroaches that had con-
vened there scuttled away, but with
one accord returned to investigate
the sandwich.
When ! found that it had disap-
peared later, I supposed that they
had carried it away to some corner
where it could rinen to their better
liking. This conclusion helped to
