meeting held recently at BlacIfOOt,
Idaho, between representatives of
the states Of Utah, Idaho and Nom
tana, registered Grimm and COssack
alfalfa seed produced in these states
will have uniform grades, and uni
form tags to designate these grades.
These three states are the principal
alfalfa seed producing states in the
Union and the successful outcome Of
the meeting has become an Outstand-

ing by A. J. Ogaard, extension agrOn-
Omist. C. B. Allison represented the

Heber Webb was sent by the Utah
department of agriculture and the
Utah Extension service.
Under the cooperative agreemen,
the highest quality of registered al
falfa seed produced in these states
will be known as Extra No. I" anC

a popular resort with many who were
inclined to gather for a pleasant chat
On almost any subject and a social

sidered quite accommodating and
liberal in his dealings with his fell

Death Of Major Peter Roman

Major Peter Roman, United States
Indian agent at the Fathead agency,
died at his agency home on the Goth
inst, He was born in Boston, Mass,
in 1897, came to Montana in 1868. He
was a printer by trade and with John
P. Bruce started the Montana Demo-
crat in Virginia City, the second pa
per in the territory, in 1856. When
Adder Gulch declined he moved to
Last Chance and with E. L. Wilkinson
and Major Martin Maginnis founded
the Montaan Gazette at Helena,
which was twice burned out, the Sec
Ond fire resulting in its entire de-
structiOn and total extinction. Mr..
Roman then retired from the news
paper business and engaged in min
ing. Although a Democrat, he was
appointed to the Flathead Indian
agency by President Hayes and held
the position through successive ad-
ministratlons up to the time of his
death.
In the administration of affairs at
Fathead agency Major Roman gave
general satisfaction and was quite
successful, it is said, in advancing
his wards IN the cultivation of the
soil and other civilizing pursuits. Be-
ing a devoted Catholic and the Flat.
head tribe having been generally con.
verted to thai faith by the early
Jesuit fathers, Major Roman and his
amiable and devoted wife were pc.
culiarly adapted to the FlatheaC
agency work, as they had but LITTLE
trouble in gaining the highest conf

MONTANA WOOL
MARKETING Plan

"The Montana Wool Cooperative
Marketing association is sometimes
referred to as the Montana Wool
Pool which is misleading in the COM
mon use Of the term, for as the term
is commonly used it means that the

thrown into one lot or Jack pot and
so sold and every grower contributing
TO the pool receives the average price
obtained.

"The Montana association is work

"The grower who markets his wool

ceives credit for the exact grade,

he produces. If his clip a be sOld

The flour agitation, which started
from a decision Of some Of the Butte

E. Brook Martin wrote a sensible

The state associations ship their wool
to the National Wool Exchange which
gives that organization a large and

in the wool markets Of the country.
