Price OF SEED
POTATOES HIGH
Use of Small Ones for Planting
Justified Under Present
Conditions

Because Of the high price of seed
potatoes, commercial growers this
year are faced with the need Of prac-
ticing every possible economy and Of
employing every ean Of assuring
a crop, says F. NJ. Harrington, hOrti-
c~uIturist at Montana State college.
The position Of the potato grower
this year is exactly the reverse Of
what it was a year ago. Today high
priced seed must be used and the crop
is likely to bring a comparatively
low price, while a year ago seed was
relatively low in price and the fall
crop brought exceptionally high re-
turns.
In view Of this situation, Prof. Har.
rington advises that the commercial
potato grower is entirely justified II
using small potatoes for planting pur.
poses this spring. To plant small pc
tatoes year after year is not a rec.
commended practice because CT th'
! likelihood Of bringing about gradua
degeneration and lower production
The use Of small seed for a Single
season, however, will not cause serl
GUS damage.
In the matter Of insuring a cror
potato growers are urged to discar'
all disease infected potatoes and t
treat the seed with corrosive sub
Innate or other satisfactory materia
against RhizoctOnia and scab. So
should be prepared carefully and II
rigation, cultivation and other cor
troIlable factors which affect pro
duction should be carefully attende

ALFALFA Seed
GROWERS Meet

Alfalfa seed growers Of Montana
are holding meetings in different
parts Of the state this week. These
meetings will have an important bear
ing upon the future development Of
the alfalfa seed industry in the state.
Meetings were held Monday and
Tuesday at COhagen and COalwOod
and another n is scheduled for to-
day at Glasgow.
The meetings r sponsored by the
Montana Seed Growers association
and are for the purpose Of discussing
the entire alfalfa seed situation. The
rules and regulations for the prOduc-
ton Of pedigreed alfalfa seed will be
considered and changes suggested.
The effort is in line with a nation
wide movement TO standardize its pro-
duction regulations throughout the
country. Marketing methods also
viii be considered and an attempt
viii be made to unity practices in
different associations Of the state and
to extend the operation Of cooper
alive marketing organizations.
According to Mr.. Ogaard, secretary
Of the Montana Seed Growers assO-
citation, the seed buying practices Of
farmers in the important alfalfa pro-
ducing states are undergoing a rapid
change. One state already has passed
q law barring n~on-pedigreed alfalfa
seed and ether states and farmers
organizations are planning similar ac-
ion. The passage by congress Of the
= ed-dyeing bill, which requires that
al imported alfalfa and red clover
seed be Identified by staining, is but
one Of the Indications that farmers
are waging a successful campaign
against inferior seed and deceptive
ned trade practices.
Ct win be but q short dime, says
Baf. Ogaard, before the producer cf
common alfalfa seed win have dal-
Guilty in finding 8 market for bis
product. Is fact which was Indicated

Linderman's third volume of Indian
legends, which Scribners is to bring
out in the early fall. This will make
the seventh book by the Montana au-

These stories are strangely differ
emit from the Old Man Tales of the
plains tribes, Mr.. Linderman says.
The frog and the old woman FIRE
quently appear, much as in the Euro
pean folk tales; and "SkinkOOts," the
coyote is the most prominent figure.
In Mr.. Linderman's opinion SkinkOOts
is often Oldham or Napi, the Indians
demigod, himself changed into animal
character, for his antics are most
similar to Napi's.
These stories concern the Indians
who inhabit the Flathead and KoO-
tenai country and in the preface the
author explains the origin of the
name of Kalispell, the River Yak
and the KoOtenai river.

been reported from Malta, two from
Garfield county, and one each from

from the country districts.
No specific cure, DR.. Cogswel
