OUTLOOK

EXPERTS SAY WHEAT MAY
BE LOWER FOR NEW CROP
MEATS TO IMPROVE

While the crop and livestock
for Montana FER the
coming year cannot be described
as especially bright, a review OF
+he "Montana Agricultural Out
look, just issued by Montana
State college, points Ito number
Of factors which look promising
The probability Of continued fav-
orabie prices for swine during the
wear. the expected continuation Of
fhe slow upward movement OF
beef prices and the possibility Of
deferring any great decline m
wool and mutton, at least until
the end Of the year, gives a bet
ter tone to the important hve-
stock enterprises of the state than
to cash crop produd d.ion.
Lower Wheat Possible
The wheat outlook appears none
too favorable. The production Of
hard spring wheat, which is the
CROP of chief interest to Montana,
was slightly less last year than in
1924 and premiums have been
favorable. Had yields been nor
NAL. however, the 25 per cent in
crease in paintings last sprine
would have produced surplus OF
high protein wheat. If farmer.
plant as much hard spring wheat
this wear as they did last, they
face a strong possibility of get
ting the world wheat prices minus
the premium next fall.
A surplus production in tins
country last year and increase
production in Mediterranean coun
tries has had the effect of lower
| ine durum wheat prices. If this
country produces surplus o.
durum this year, in view of thu
fact that acreage has been in
creased in durum producing eoun
tries in Europe, further decline
of prices may result. Tins, %
course, depends upon how tn
crop turns out in Europe.

COUNTY BUREAU
BOARD TO MEET
LANARK HALL THE PLACE,
DATE NOT YET SET-WILL
SHAPE YEARS PROGRAM

Plans are being perfected by
The Executive Board of the Roose-
Welt County Farm Bureau to hold
their annual meeting the third
week of this month in the Lam
ark community, the date to be
definitely announced later. Rep
resentatives will be in attendance
from all communities in the coun-
ty to help work out and plan the
program for the coming year. 1t
is planned to have one or two
special entertainment features IN
connection with the business pro-
gram which will undoubtedly be
an enjoyable surprise to those
who are in attendance. 1T is also
planned to have one or two speak
ers on the program that will give
practical information on things
of vital interest to Roosevelt
county farmers. The Lanark
community, which is centrally To-
Gated, has invited the Farm Bu-
reau to meet in their new hall
where they are particularly de-
sirous of having a representative
from each community in the coun-
ty.
The Directors
The meeting will be an all-day
session and will start. at 1000
o'clock in the morning. The Farm
Bureau directors consisting of H.
c. Biorge, Culbertson; Oscar Mel
son, Bainville; Earl Coin, Poplar
e. E. Carey, Mineral Bench; Al
vim Warrior, Poplar, have kept the
ball a-rolfng this year and have
accomplished a number of things
that are of Importance and value
to the farmer of the county. Mr.
Biorge was in attendance at the
annual meeting of the State Fed
era5ion and will have report OF
the work transacted at that meet
ing. This promises to be one OF
the most valuable and interesting
meetings of the Farm Bureau thai
has been held in the county.

OF
POSITIVE VALUE
POINTERS AID TO
FARMERS DURING SPRING
AND SUMMER

A great amount Of valuable ex-
perience. most of which is prac-
teal and adaptIble to Roosevelt
county farmers is furnished in
many Of the extension and expert
ment circulars available for dis
itribution from the county agents
office. A great many Of these pub
Ecations are based on the expert
ence of successful farm practices
and are actually taken from far
mers in this part of Montana
which makes them very valuable
as factors in progressive develop
ment. The world admires a sue
cessful man and such mems sue
cess can always be traced to the
fact that they made the best use
of adaptable experience that was
available for him to work with.
Profit By Experience
The successful business or pro-
fessional man is the one who keeps
up-to-date by knowing the latest
successful experience; the same IS
very true with the farmer.

LAW PRECEDENT
IN SEARCH CASES
II. N. MARION WINS IMPORT
ANT POINT THROUGH SU-
PREME COURT DECISION

In it's decision rendered last
Saturday, in the Howard Barack-
er liquor case, the Montana SUI
prene court is believed to have
established precedent of great
importance to prohibition en-
fore eement. The case originated
at Poplar. The issue hinges on
what constitutes suffic .ent grounds
for the issuance of a search war
RAM. Hugh n. Marion, county
attorney of Roosevelt county, ar
gued the case for the state and
was vigorously opposed by Spald-
ing of Helena. The decision IS a
signal victory for Marron and is
certain to be cited in similar
cases in this and other states. Au-
rhorities seeking to enforce the
law will quote the opinion of the
Montana court because it makes
it trifle more nearly possible to
root out the nests Of the law vio-
Ilators.
Court Decision Reviewed
A news story, dated at Helena,
covers the decision quite thorough
lly and is reprinted, in part, as fol
lows:
