assistance to the present agencies op-
Grating in this field and appointed a
committee to outline a plan whereby
his department could be of the best

SASKATCHEWAN IS
LEADING in wheat

REGINA, Sask.-A survey Of the
official estimates Of the United
States department Of agriculture Of
the total wheat production in the prin-
cipal states in 1925 shows that the
province Of Saskatchewan. Canada,
produced more than twice as much
wheat as the leading state of North
Dakota, and a volume equal to the
combined production of the next six
leading states Of Kansas, Washing
ton, Nebraska, Illinois, Montana and
South Dakota. The province Of AL
berta was exceeded IN wheat output
by North Dakota alone. The value of
the field crops of Saskatchewan for
1925 exceeded those Of the previous
year by more than So per cent, thus
making this province the foremost
province in the dominion as a crop
producer. The amount of money
taken in by Saskatchewan for last
years crop totals $S63,88T,O 200, repre-
senting an increase of 1885, ,0OC
over the year preceding. Taking the
present. population Of Saskatchewan
to be 100000, last years r dis
tribution on a per capita basis allowed
$454 to each individual in the pro
vince, or about $4,000 to every fam.
iy.

ADVISES TESTS
FOR TERMINATION
OF Seed GRAINS
Alternate Freezing and Thawing
May Have Damaged Grain
With High Moisture Content

Seed grain Of wheat, oats and bar
ley which has a high moisture content
may have been greatly damaged by
the alternate freezing and thawing
of the past winter, and all farmers of
Montana who have wet grain on hand
which they intend to use for seed
should have it tested for termination
before planting time, advises w. 0.
WhitcOmb, superintendent of the Mon
tana grain laboratory at BOzeman.
Drying Doesn't Help
Tests just completed at the labora-
tory show that grain having Is per
cent moisture or less is terminating
from SO to 100 per cent, while grain
with a moisture content of more than
16 per cent terminated from SO to
81 per cent. Grain which has come
through the winter with more than
1G per cent moisture is likely to have
a low termination. Some of the
samples of wet grain were dried be-
fore testing but drying at this time
has little effect on termination.
Tests on oats and barley also show
ed that excessive moisture content
greatly reduces termination and that
little or no benefit is obtained by
drying such grain before planting.
Different This Year
Results of the tests indicate, ac-
cOrding to Mr.. WhitcOmb, that grain
which is stored in a wet condition is
damaged by alternate thawing and
freezing during the winter. Ordinar-
lily, Mr.. Whitcomb explains, seed

A review of the accidents last year

There were 366 accidents Of this III
during the year, and 145 Of them were
caused by automobiles running into
trains anywhere from the locomotive

trains were standing still on crossings
when hit by the autos.

TIC illustrate the cas-. value f Mon
tana wheat, i IS roin.ed OH; that
the average IaIm price of wheat in
this state for the fOur-year period
ending 1924, was practically equal to
the farm Price Of wheat in NoTtli AMI
So. Dakota and but slightly below -
farm price in Kansas and MinAes0sa,
in spite of the fact that these state'
are much closer to terminals and the
cost Of getting Montana wheat to
market is more than double the cost
in these other states.
Farm Price Averages
The Extension service explains that
the farm price cf wheat is the termi-
nal price minus the cost of transpOr-
tation to the terminal. During the
four-year period the farm price Of
Montana wheat averaged SO cents,
North Dakota wheat, SO cents, South
Dakota wheat, SO cents, Minnesota
wheat, S1.O6 and Kansas wheat, $1.O2,
When the average cost of transpOrta-
ton is added to these farm prices the
figure for Montana wheat is $1.26
North Dakota wheat, $1.12, South Da-
kota wheat, S1.1O, Kansas wheat
S1.13, and Minnesota wheat $1.14.
While the wheat from Montana ha:
always been considered to be higher
in protein, very few authentic figures
have been available to prove thi:
point. From the best figures that tn;
Extension service has been able to Sc
cure Montana wheat averages at leas
one per cent higher in protein thar
the next best state. Figures for tn
past three years show Montana whea
to have 1888 per cent protein, NOrtI
Dakota 1913, Kansas 1872 and Mime
sofa 11.5S per cent. Similarly, for tn
rast five years, 73.1 per cent Of Nor
tana's wheat crop has graded No. !
Ncrth Dakota has had but 1913 pc
cent in this class and Kansas but 2
per cent.
Per Acre Yields
Since 1921 the per acre yields
wheat in Montana have been create
four years out Of the five, than til
yields in Kansas, North Dakota an
South Dakota, and greater than Mil
nesota yields, three years out Of tn
five. The average yields per acl
for the five-year period are: Mcntan
1874. North Dakota la, South d.
kota lit, Kansas 9 and MinnesOt
21.8 bushels.
Those figures are quoted by the E.
tension service to show that Montar
has a decided advantage from Il
standpoint of quality, and it is SUI
gested that, through the use Of pu,
seed of adapted varieties and by e
ercising every possible e a for pr
ducing the best possible crops, Il
quality advantage can be still fu
Their increased. Even though the ca
necessary to produce such high qua
itv crops causes the farmer to redu
his acreage somewhat, the Extensi
service believes that the returns W
be equally as great and the danger
over production will be minimized.

Score on Bungles
The first alien run scored when
Hafey stepped on his silly foot and
lost Pennock's drive for a two-base
hit, so called, and he came on in on
Koenig's single to left. But be-
fore this transpired, they trapped
Pennock off second but lost him
again when Thevenow dropped the
ball. In other words, Pennock was
out twice before he scored the first
run.
The second came in the ninth
and tied the score. The manner In
which it was scored was enough
to make one weep silently into
the folds of his vest. Gehrig hit
a high fly over the infield for
what should have been the first
out. 1t wasn't. The wind carried
the bail away from Thevenow
while the Hmping> Hafey was no
where, so the ball dropped safe
for a double. 1azzeri then pre-
pared to lay down his sacrificial
