RECORD YIELD OF
u BUS. MARQUIS
ON BAXTER FARM

A yield of a bushels Of Marquis
wheat to the acre, a record for
Gallatin cOunty's 1925 crop, is re-
ported from the George Baxter
ranch.
The grain was grown en- 20
acres of land, not irrigated during
the season, and was threshed 4
week ago.
So far as is known, it is the
largest yield in the county for
many years, although Oldtimers
recall instances where production in
especially favored areas approach
ed closely the high figure now set.
Gallatin county has no reason to
fear competition in the matter Of
recOrd-breaking crops. Numerous
reports of heavy yields of wheat,
oats and barley have been received
since harvest, and if present fav-
Orable conditions for crop prOduc-
ton continue, even larger yields
may be realized next season.

MONTANA'S Share
FEDERAL AID funds
MILLION And HALF

Secretary Of Agriculture Jardine has
announced the apportionment Of $751;
125,000 to the states for use in the
construction of f~ederal-aid roads. This
apportionment was authorized by the
post office appropriation act of Feb
ruary IL, 1925, and is for the fiscal
year beginning July 1, 1926.
The new funds will be spent en-
tirely on the federal aid highway
system under the same plan Of coop
Grafton with the states that has been
in successful operation for 10 years.
The roads included in the system are
the most important in the country and
reach directly or indirectly every city
Of over 5000 population. The bureau
reports that approximately 10000
miles Of f~ederal-aid road were brought
to completion during 1925 and the
indications are that the coming year
will be equally successful.

ton is ~$1,551,66O. At a recent con-
ference in Helena of members Of the
state highway commission, and o.
boards Of county commissioners Of a
number Of counties, plans TO match

SHARPLES Strain
OF Bliss TRIUMPH
BEST seed SPUDS

What is generally considered one
of the leading strains of Bliss Tri-
umph seed potatoes in Montana, which
means that it holds a similar place
among the seed potatoes Of this va
riety in the United States, had its
beginning IA years ago when J. F.
Sharples Of Zurich secured three po-
tatoes for seed purposes from Edgar
Lea of DOdson. Since that time the
Sharples strain of Bliss Triumph has
become famous throughout the United
States, and this strain has been one
Of the most important factors in Civ
ing Montana the top place in seed
production in the country.
Since 1912 when Mr.. Sharples first
obtained his three potatoes fer foun-
dation stock, he has given his best
attention to the improvement Of the
strain. The years Of careful rogue
ing and selection prior to 1922 laid
the foundation for the present high
quality, high producing strain, which
has demonstrated greater production
ability in recent Louisiana tests than
seed from any other part of the ma
ton.
Certified in 1922
In 1922 the active work Of the Mon
tana Potato Improvement associa-
ton started and a system Of certifi-
cation and improvement was begun.
At this time Montana potatoes ap-
peared for the first time in the COM
petitive tests in Louisiana and it was
this year also that the sharples seed
potatoes were certified for the first
time. Since then potato improvement
work has continued rapidly in the
state, with the Sharples strain play
ing an important part in the improve
ment. Much Ct the seed that Mr..
Sharples produced each year has been
kept within the state to be sold to
other growers for foundation stock.
When certificaticn and testing first
started there were a great number of
strains brought out, many showing
low production and poor disease re-
, sistance. Since then the improve
. ment work has been conferred upon
2 the leading strains and seed growers
have been encouraged to substitute
Sharples, Belzer and other high pro
ducing strains for the inferior ones
During the past year Mr.. Sharples
had 20 acres of his Bliss TRIUMPH
seed potatoes and they returned hin
: top prices. He has been unable tC

and other parts Of the country. Mucl

Great Artist

With a program rich in the per-
sonality that has long identified
summarizing in her offerings to
the public we had the pleasure. and.
as It is TO be the last, the regret,
to listen to this great artist sing her
farewell concert in this city under
the direction of the Ona B. Talbot
Fine Arts Enterprises.
Her program, as Schumann- Heink
herself said from the stage, was
made up entirely Of the songs which
which have become favorites of the
great majority of her listeners.
Dividing her numbers into three
parts she sung the first and third
in English and the second in Ger
man.
The first three numbers were of a
deeply religious character rejecting
the solemn nature ard seriousness
of the church. The second group
was on the order of the follIsong be-
ing mostly Of a sentimental and
lighter vein.
In her third and last group
Schumann- Heink did the more dra-
