MONTANA'S new
ORCHESTRA MAKES
DEBUT OCTOBER IS
First Performance at College
Gym-Grand Tour of State
Will Follow

The all-professiOnal Montana State
Symphony orchestra, which was an
nOunced a short time ago, will soon
begin its tour of the state, making
its debut on October 10 at the State
college in connection with this years
Artists course. Following this open
ing number the orchestra, under the
direction of Professor Joseph Adam
of the music department at the State
college and including in its personnel
some Of the best musicians of the
state, will play in from 20 to 80 Mon
tana towns.
This is an entirely new venture on
the part Of pioneering musicians of
the state who hope to furnish the res
idents Of Montana a high type of
symphonic music ordinarily limited
to the larger cities of the East, Mid
die West, and Pacific coast states. It
has developed into a concentrated eff
fort on the part Of these music low
ers to place Montana-made music be-
fore Montana people for the greater
cultural and musical development of
all Of those who hear these numbers.
Although Professor Adam is busy
with his duties as director of the mu-
sic department at Montana State
college, he has sacrificed much of his
valuable time to the development of
this e symphonic orchestra in or
der to set a precedent for other
states. The same can be said of all
the other members of the company
for most of them have given up, tenn
pOrarily, much better paying posi-
tions in order to aid in this pioneer
ing work in Montana music.
} Professor Adam made a thorough
personal canvass of the entire state
in order to book towns for his ap.
pearances. In every city and towr
he found Women's clubs, theatre
managers, the American Legion
schools, and many other organiza.
tions Of a similar type willing tt
guarantee financial backing suffic.
lent to bring the orchestra to thes;
towns. With these guarantees back
ing him he is now making the fina
preparations to launch forth of thii

WHAT To 10 With WET WHEAT PROBLEM
ACCOMPLISHMENTS REFACINGT HISFALL

What to do with wet wheat is a
problem that is facing many farmers
of Montana this fall, according to the
Montana Extension service. To sell
wheat with a high moisture content
means a lower price for the grain.
The only alternative is to store the
grain in the hope of reducing the
moisture content during the storage
period.
In the matter of handling grain
stored on the farm so as to reduce
moisture content the Extension ser
vice offers little hope. Last winter
when farmers in many parts of the
state had wet grain on their hands
the Montana grain inspection lab
oratory made a special study Of the
problem. Farmers tried out every
conceivable means of ventilating and
airing their grain to dry it out but
with little success. Repeated check
tests throughout the winter, many of
them made at two or three week in
tervals, showed that the moisture con-
tent remained practically the same
regardless Of the method of handling.
Among the methods studied were
Frequent shoveling of grain from one
bin to another, ventilating the bin by
means of various kinds of ventilating
devices, absorption of moisture by
placing dry logs at intervals through
out the grain. None of these meth
DDS was effective.
Most of the devices studied, how
ever, did have a real value in the
prevention of heating and spelling. AS
W. o. Whitcomb, superintendent of
the grain laboratory explains, heating
ard spelling is due to fermentation
which takes place more rapidly dur
i~~ warm weather than when it is
cc.d. Wet grain placed in a poorly
ventilated bin is likely to spell be-
cause Of heating and the only means
of preventing it is to keep tempera-
ture down by ventilation. This may
be done by specially constructed
shaft ~ventilators in the bin or by
shoveling grain from one bin to an.
other. By these means it is possible
to bring wet grain through the winter
without serious damage.
MI. Whitccmb advises, however
that such grain should be disposed Of
before the weather gets too warm II
the spring. lie cites the case of
farmer who brought his grain through
the winter last year without lass bu
when loaded into cars lat IN Ma!
it heated so badly that much damage
was done before it reached the mar
ket.
The Extension service suggest
that the farmer may store wet grail
and prevent damage from spOilag
by any one Of a number Of devices
but 10 practical means has yet bee
discovered for reducing the moistur
content Of grain stored on the farm
