NORTHERN MONTANA
CORN SHOW PROVES
FARMING PROGRESS

The fifth annual Northern Mon
tana Corn show, held at Havre during
the last week of October, again
strikingly demonstrated the agricul-
tural possibilities of northern Mon
tana and wildly portrayed the prog
ress made in recent years in improv-
ing corr and corn production methods,
in the introduction Of pure seed and
in the wide adoption of sound, diver
sified farming practices. There were
almost 500 entries of corn, potatoes
and pure seed grain; 100 entries in
the district Duroc-Jersey swine flu
turity, and more than so entries in
the poultry show from six highline
counties.
Honors for the show were well dis
tributed among the different cOun
ties. Roosevelt won the banner for
having the best exhibit Of corn, Sher-
idan was first in grains, Valley led IN
| grasses. and Blaine excelled in the pO-
tato exhibit. George Biddle, an eight
year-old boy Of Glasgow, won the

MONTANA All CLUB
BOY AMONG N
NATIONAL CONTEST

Herbert Zwisler of Park City whose
success as a All club member made
him the outstanding individual in
boys' and girls club work in the
state in 1923, has been selected as
one of the ten leaders in a national
club leadership contest conducted by
a prominent national farm magazine.
The contest was open to former club
members who later became leaders in
their local communities. Mr.. Zwis-
Ter has led the club at Park City for
the past two years and through his
activities has maintained this club as
one of the leaders in the state.
Mr.. Zwisler gained his first state
wide prominence in 1923 when he was
selected to represent Montana at the
Interstate fair at Sioux City, Iowa.
His selection came as the result of
his excellent work as club member
that year. The following year he
won the corn sweepstakes at the State
fair and was thereby proclaimed the
"Corn King Of Montana. He is now
a student OF agronomy at Montana
State college.

SPUD and FRUIT
SHOW SUCCESS
First Combined Exhibit at Butte
Brings Out Great Display
Interest Keen

The combined potato and fruit show
held at Butte last week under the
name of the First Annual Montana
Horticultural Products exhibit,
brought out one of the greatest dis
plays Of apples and potatoes ever as
sembled in the state, according to +.
M. Harrington, horticulturist at Mon
tana State college. Bitter Root Nc
Intosh apples, which pomOlogists
have declared to be the finest fruit
Of its kind in the United States and
which frequently bring a premium
over other apples on the leading mar
kets of the country, were one of the
centers of public interest at the show.
The first Of these annual exhibits,
made possible by the active coop
GRAFTON Of the Montana Horticultural
society, the Montana Potato Improve
ment association and Montana State
college, was sponsored by the Butte
Chamber of Commerce . DR.. Peter
Potter, chairman of the exhibits COM
mittee of the chamber, was manager
of the show.
At the show the people of Butte
were given an opportunity to see the
strains and varieties Of crops which
have made history in Montana during
the past few years. The display of
commercial and seed potatoes was
impressive, and, according to Mr..
Harrington, cOnvincingly demonstrate
ed the excellence of the Montana
product. Bliss Triumph seed pota-
toes from northern Montana and the
Gallatin valley which are figuring
prominently in revOlutiOnizing potato
production in southern states, and
Melted gems from the Flathead, Lew
is and Clark county and other parts
of the state were conspicuous in the
displays.

Big APPLE CROP
in u. S. this YEAR
Estimated 2S4,OOO,OOO Bushels
Largest Since 1914-Fine
for Health

America should have its healthiest
year in 1927, if the old adage about
apples and health still holds, accord
ing to the Sears-Roebuck A~gricultur-
al foundation. The estimated apple
crop for this year is more than 1884,
900, 1000 bushels, which is the largest
crop since 1914 and the third largest
in the history of the United States.
Because the 1926 production is fully
one-third larger than last year, an
pie prices have dropped to the lowest
point in years and give promise Of
remaining at a low level throughout
the season.
Practically all of the increased pro-
duction Of the commercial apple crop
this year was made in the East, the
principle apple orchard section Of
the country, according to the Founda-
ton. There favorable conditions pre-
vailed throughout the growing sea-
son, although some sections reported
the crop as maturing later than
usual. The crop in the Northwest,
the only other important commercial
apple section in the country. how
ever, suffered severely from freezin =
in late Septembr with the result thas
yields were materially reduced.

HEELNA, Nov. 11.-Montana mer-
chants will soon decide on the sound
ness of installment selling.
In business circles over Montana
and the country at large, it is now
the fashion to discuss the economic
outcome of the extensive practice of
installment buying.
Not long ago the vital question
among the business men of the coun-
try was Mr.. Volstead's act, but to-
day Grandpa Volstead is being
crowded off the center of the stage
by "Installment Selling"
Authorities, experts, would-be i
thorities, would-be experts, bankers,
lawyers, merchants, and all classes
of business and professional men have
cussed and discussed the one great
economic question before the Amer
lean merchant observation-disclosures. !"
Some claim that the extensive prac-
tice of installment buying is econom-
ically cound, and apparently, a like
number say that it is not economical
ly sound. Who knows? Who is TO
be the Judge? Who can tell what
the outcome will be? The CONNER

LIVESTOCK SHOULD
BE FED IODINE TO
PREVENT GOITER

In certain sections of Gallatin
county, gOiter is quite prevalent
in domestic animals, due to a lack
of iodine in the food and water.
The cheapest and most convenient
method of feeding iodine is by
mixing it with salt. The method
recommended by DR.. Howard
WEIGH, veterinarian at Montana
State college, is to spread out 100
pounds of stock salt on a tight
floor, and sprinkle over it one
ounce of potassium iOdide. Mix
the two thoroughly with a shovel
for at least five minutes, and re-
sack. The mixture, if fed to
breeding stock during the winter,
at least from November to March,
will prevent all gOiter in young
animals born in the spring.
