Association into a potato marketing
organization to handle the high quality
potato seed produced In this part Of

seed potato production and to assist
in maintaining the quality OF the pota-
toes produced. These detectives win
be retained In the new organization but
the Increasing amount OF potatoes pro

The farmer who gets his wheat. oats
and barley In around April 10 In most
parts OF Montana has a two to one
better chance Of getting a good crop
than the one who does not plant until
month later, according 70 d. B. No
BILE, county agent OF Roosevelt county,
in discussing the question Of seeding
time with the farmers OF his county.
According to Mr. Noble the best chance
OF getting the maximum crop GENES
when the seed is planted around the
midle OF April. When seeding Is de-
layed until May ] the crop Is likely
TO be reduced a third and IL the seed
Is not put IN the ground until May Is
only a half crop is likely TO result
He explains also that for this reason
the farmer with summer faIlowed or
corn land Is in better position than
the one who depends upon spring plow-
Ing. In a late season the faiiOw land
can be planted as soon as the soil Is
in proper condition. Unprepared land
must be plowed first and this neces-
sarlly delays seeding. Mr.. Noble be-
iieves that this Is one Of the strong
arguments for growing corn and sum
mer following.

auA SO0A age
His most recent engagement with,
the stars was when he was knocked
for a total loss in the Central
Gonzaga football game. Incidentally,
Matt explained that much-talkcd-
! about incident and gave out the
correct dope on 1t.
He said that he got hit on the
head just after the kickoff, and,
refusing to take time out, took a
flying tackle after George Roberts,
CentraTs ace, on the next play.
While in the ether. some one hit
Mats feet, and when he came
down his descent was stopped by
the well-known chin. That finished
him then. He suffered slight con-
cussion Of the brain.
TwOmey is, in fact, a remark
able athlete. His endeavOrs carry
him over five sports, and he is a
star in his own name in ali of
them. That baby plays rough
and tumble football, he has stran-
gled many fish,. broad jumps like
a subpoena dOdger, baSeballS like
Ty Cobb, is Nat Holman ~ on
the court, and also is a sprinter.
Picture that.
Twomey is just 10 years old and
| he tips the beam when in strict
| training at 173 pounds. He is as
! tough as an oak knot. He gave the
writer the shivers when he acknowl-
edged an introduction and the right
paw is still timid.
| He has played football at Central,
football, basketball, baseball, track
and swimming at Dewitt Prep and
football and basketball at GonZaga.
! While he was in the grade schools
he ran in the high school freshman
meet and broke the record in the
220. His time was "a, which is not
so worse. At that time he broad
jumped 20 feet and Z inches. His
work with the shot-put and discus
placed him in the dual meet be-
tween the Dewitt Props and 'the
Naval Academy freshmen.
His swimming was such that he
| was made a life guard, and any
gent that can jump in and wrestle
in the water with water-logged
person is pretty fair.
Twomey answers to the call of
Matthew Mitchell TwOmey. He
has received offers from many
of the Leading colleges in the
East and of them all he faVOrs
either Georgetown or Holy Cross.
Just now, Twomey could be of
very great use to Central, the place
where he really got his start They
need weight on that team In the
worst way. The curly haired kid
would fit in well with Moser, who
happens to possess br"wn. But
Twomey left Central when they put
him on the Ineligible list because
of a technicality. Watch him when
he leaves Gonzaga.
Twomey has "seen stars" He
has made it possible for others to
''see stars and he is a star. Does
not that qualify him as q s4n OF
the stars.

1t may interest you to know that
Mr. Richard took to the ice game
much more reluctantly than the

What they have to look out for
