oeat. MIssIno Fund

Sometime ago, probably about 1914
school children Of Montana began to
raise a fund for the erection Of n
school exhibit building at the state
Playground. There was accumulated
for this purpose. the sum Of $s,823.s7.
Last year when W. +. Casey became
b0okkeeper for the stnte department
Of agriculture and took over the state
fair accounts, the books did not show
the account and he sought TO learn
where the money had been banked. In
asmuch as, during the interim, num-
Der Of banks had closed 1t was feared
that the fund might have passed out OF
existence.
However, after some search, Casey
found that the state accountant had
run across the fund and had deposited
IT with the state treasurer. Recently
the board Of examiners made an order
directing the treasurer to set up a
special trust fund for the amount and
invest It In interest bearing state war
rants where It viii at least continue to
Increase until the time arrives when It
may he put to the use for which it was
intended

GUTWORM WARNING
ISSUED TO FARMERS
Grain Growers Urged to Maintain :
Sharp Lookout for Pest
In State

Grain growers OF Montana and es-
pecially In that general region between
Helena and Three Forks, are urged 10
maintain sharp lookout for army cut
worms DK W. c. Cook Of the State
college entomology department has
found young cutworms in abundance
in the vicinity OF Three Forks. bearing
out his prediction made last fall that
these pests were more than usually
abundant.
Farmers should seek for the cut
worms In stubble fields. both fresh and
abandoned, and especially. on south
slopes exposed TO the sun. They also
may be fosnd In weed fields and in
waste land bordering on grain fields
Particular attention should be given to
the light sandy soils that are covered
with weeds. II is the habit OF the
army cutworms to migrate into grain
fields. eating everything as they go.
Prompt action on the part Of farm
ers Will serve TO cut down loss In their
grain fields this year, says the state
entomolOgist. Where specimens are
identified as army eutworms. control

Listeners who prefer moderate vol
ume, combined with almost perfect re
production. wiz be interested In the
simple entertainment receiver to be
described. The faithfulness Of its tone
output is dependent upon the system
OF audio frequency application,
which. In this set, is a combination Of
stage OF impedance-coupled amplih-
cation and stage Of resistance
coupled application.
In addition. the use Of the half
ampere power tube is considered IN
the last stage. Since this tube re-
quires about 1876 volts OF "B'' battery,
the use OF resistance coupling calls for
no additional plate voltage. Imped-
ance coupling is adopted for the first
stage since this provides superior de-
tector action and greater detector out
put Moreover. with a good imped-
ance coll for the first stage, the quality
Is good. A honeycomb system OF tun-
Ing is shown. with a primary coll made
unnecessary by the expedient of EN-
ploying a small fixed condenser as the
coupling medium. Thus the assembly
OF the outfit Is not difficult The ont
put OF volume Is not so great as can
be obtained by the use of more tubes
and more audio application, but on
this very account It's tone qualities are
better and its operation more pleasing.

according TO Mr.. Morris. Is to handle
potatoes carefully at harvest time and
when placing them IN storage, care

cuts or bruises. Damaged potatoes
should not be stored. The temperature
In the storage place should be held
down to between IS and 20 degrees. as
the fungus remains dormant under
these conditions. AS soon as potatoes
are removed from a bin It should be
carefully cleaned and disinfected or
fumigated. The disInfecfing can be
done by spraying the Interior OF the
bin with strong solution OF copper
sulphate or formalin. Formaldehyde
gas may be used for fumigation.
