ROAD MAINTENANC

Last week, under the heading "How Good
Roads Bill May Affect Gallatin County," we print
ed the following statement:
Motor license fees received by Gallatin county
so far this year total Sal, 900. The county would
still keep these fees for it's own use under Bill 81
as it does now, and this revenue, with it's regular
road levies, could be spent by county commission
ers on farmers lateral and intermediate roads,
whereas most of it is required under the present
program for use on the county's federal high
ways"
We do not wish even unintentionally to be mis-
leading in regard to this matter and so feel called
upon to explain, because the statement has been
construed by sOme to that the entire SAL 900
is being used this year for federal aid road main
tenance, that such is not the case. The cost of
maintaining Gallatin county's "a miles of federal
aid highway in 1926 will be approximately $4,000,
according to the board of county commissioners
which leaves a considerable balance in the motor
license fee fund to be used on other county roads
This years maintenance expenditures trifIe
more than S158 mile-is however, very low
Over period of years, during which maintenance
would include resurfacing and other necessary
repairs, the expense would average in the neigh
borhood of $3.50 a mile per annum It is this
burden that Initiative Bill No. 81 would take of
the shoulders of the counties, leaving them every
dollar of their motor license fees and of their
regular road tax levies to expend on farmers lat
eral and intermediate roads

2 MILLION POUNDS
MONTANA ALFALFA
SEED SENT EAST

HELENA-MOre than 48 carloads
containing about 100000 pounds of
alfalfa seed have been forwarded n
the last 10 months by Montana seed
dealers and distributors to middle
western points, according to reports
compiled in the office Of A. H. Bow.
man, commissioner of agriculture.
The majority of the Montana seed
is sold to dealers at Milwaukee and
Chicago, where it commands a price
premium. About 25 per cent goes to
Nebraska, North Dakota and Iowa
points. The demand for Montana
grown seed is constantly increasing
and will, during this season, reach Is
cars, or 100000 pounds.

STUDY REFERENDUMS

Recently copies of the referendum and of the
two initiative measures to be voted upon at the
general election November were mailed each
registered voter in Gallatin county by J. H. Harris
county clerk and recorder. /
In so doing Mr.. Harris was complying with the
law. These pamphlets cost the state of Montana
a considerable sum of money. They were not
printed and sent out to be thrown into waste
baskets. Their purpose is to inform the voters
as to just what the measures are, and to present
arguments for or against them, or both, as the
case may be.
The first, Referendum Measure No. %, is can
act to provide for an increase in the rate of tax
alton on real and personal property for state pur-
poses five mills on each dollar of valuation for 20
years, and to empower the legislative assembly
to levy a tax each year during such period of not
to exceed 812 mills on each dollar of valuation
for the maintenance of the public elementary and
high schools of the state of Montana" and further
provides for putting the law into effect
The second, Initiative Measure No. 80, would
repeal all Montana statutes regulating the manu-
facture, sale, and use of Intoxicating liquor
The third, Initiative Measure No. 81, would re-
peal the present two-cent gasoline tax law and
substitute for it statute levying a tax on gas
oIHl0 VI CHIee CenCS d SdlIOn, ana 1urCner pro-
vding that the revenue thus raised be turned over
to the state highway commission for match
ing federal aid road money and for building
improving and maintaining federal aid highways
in this state.
This thumb-nail sketch of the three measures
serves only to indicate their general purpose They
contain many details of great Importance de
tails with which every voter should be familiar
before he makes decision and casts his ballot
Voting 'by guess and by gosh," so frequently done
in connection with such measures as these otter
results in placing upon the statute books laws
that later lack both the sympathy and the sup
port of the people at large.
Every voter should preserve the copies of the
referendum and the initiatives sent him by Mr.
Harris and take time to study each of these
measures carefully. In no other way can he pre-
pare himself to cast his ballot inteEgently He
should not take somebody's say-so as to what
these measures are and what their effects vii
be. He should study them; read the arguments
listen to public discussion. Then he can weigh
all the evidence and vote as his commonsense die
tates.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The Capt.
tai city is itself again with the pres
ident at his desk in the white house.
1t is characteristic with the chief ex-
ecutive, that although he did not ar
rive till late Saturday, directly after
attending church services Sunday he
had Secretary of the Treasury Mel
Ion over for lunch, and. resumed his
work, interrupted only by the time
of his railway journey from White
Pine. Sunday afternoon, he had his
usual stroll and on Monday morning,
when the clerks arrived at the ececu-
tive offices, he was at his desk and
on their desks they found a mass of
work heaped up, which he had handled
Sunday evening.
The presidents appetite for, and
persistence and enjoyment in work
can hardly be set up as a model for
the average business man. There is
no denying that if the average man
attempted a vacation of the kind
which the president has gone through,
he would return to his post mentally,
if not physically, tagged. In con-
trast, Mr.. Coolidge today is looking
better than ever before, and has ad-
mitted that he is feeling better. His
ability to so carry on is based on the
intense interest with which he has been
studying problems which come before
him. Because of the fact his great.
est enjoyment comes out of work
he is one Of the extraordinarily few
men of whom it can be said that
work really refreshes them.

WASHINGTON, ID. C.-The saying
Of the New York banker that he gen
orally gave a credit because of his
confidence in a man rather than be-
cause of his bank balances or finan-
claI statements, works equally with
regard to government. The connec-
tiOn between business conditions and
the kind of government we have al
Washington is exceedingly close.
The business world intensely be-
heves that Republican rule means
prosperity, and Democratic rule (and
there are precedents enough to sus-
tain this thought) spells uneasiness
If not disaster, and acts accordingly.
For that reason a forecast that the
Democrats may control the senate, or
that the Republicans will lose seats in
the house, or even the whisper Of
dissension in Republican ranks, has
an immediate reaction in the busi-
ness world.
The man ready to buy, confident in
continued Republican rule, cancels his
order, or, at least, materially reduces
it. The blueprints for factory extern
sions are put away in the vaults.

Birth Control and
and Lite Control

Dr =. =. Ravenel. professor of pre-
'cnt;yc medicine at the University of
Missouri, tells his profession that it
l'aS made such strides in the prevention
o. infant mortality that the world need
nerer fear the coming of a race of
supei-men. The physically feeble and
the mentally unfit, he says, used once
to die of child diseases from which the
doctors now save them. AS a result
the race will continue to be cursed by
incOmpetents, lifelong inyalids, and
niOTOnS. Their number is increasing.
That suggests. by contrast, the old
theory that medical attention to the
sick was an insult to the Creator, who
WAS supposed to be able to render the
proper decisions as to who should live
and who should die, without interfer-
ence by human beings. The trouble
with that theory was that it took no
account of the fact that the power that
placed in the mind of man the will to
live must have intended him to use
it, for himself and on behalf Of others.

 Residents who have been here for at least six months, will recall seeing the old Russian cannon at the Seward depot. It was not until few weeks ago that the old gun was missed. The proper authorities were notified and a search begun. A clue was picked up yesterday by one of the human bloodhounds which led to the ware. house of local business man. A search warrant is being procured to- day. The officers are confident they are on the right track and that some one will be apprehended shortly.

|LYNCHING BEES
 SIMMER DOWN GREAT EXTENT
COURSES IN RACIAL RELATIONS TO BE GIVEN IN MANY
 SOUTHERN COLLEGES

ATLANTA, Jan. 22 (P)-Scientific study of racial segregation in more than thirty centers of negro popula- tion in the United States is under way the Commission on Inter-racial Cooperation reports in it's survey for the period 1924-25.
 This study, which will consume more than a year is being carried on jointly by the commission and the in- stitute of social and religious re- search.
 The commission indicates general improvement of racial relations and reports that appreciable progress has been made in it's work during the past year. In speaking of lynchings the re- port says: Apparently this crime is being gradually pushed off the map. More than half the Southern states now seem practically clear of it, and | it is declining rapidly in most of the others"
 I In pursuance of it's anti-lynching en- deavors the commission is now pre- pairing medal which will be awarded to sheriffs who save prisoners from mob violence.
 Only one state, Florida, has no wo- mans committee, says the. report In all other states in the South the de- partment of woman's work continues to function as one of the most impor- tant phases of the movement against mob violence. The woman's organiza- tlons also concern themselves with the welfare of negro women and chil- dren.
 An effort will be made to introduce more widely in Southern colleges the teaching, of social science as it affects the racial question. Courses in race relationship are already being given in 50 Southern colleges according to the report.
 Negro education in the south during the period covered by the survey has shown a distinct improvement, con- tinues the report, which attributes this betterment of teaching facilities to the cooperation given by state and community organizations in sympa- thy with the commissions work.

Proper Food and Light
Are Poultry Essentials

Feeds containing vitamin A, and ar
rangements for direct sunlight to util-
fze the vital ultraviolet ray are as nec-
essary part of the poultry farm equip
ment as chicken houses and pens, ex-
periments of recent years at the Kan
sas State Agricultural college under
the direction of the poultry husbandry-
department and DR.. J. S. Hughes OF
the chemistry department have shown.
To prevent roup, according to Doc
tor Hughes, the flock must be fed
such things as yellow corn, alfalfa hay,
or green leaves-foods which contain.
vitamine A. Weak legs in growing
chicks can be cured by treatment with
ultraviolet light either from direct
sunlight or from the quartz tube mer-
curry vapor arc lamp. Foods rich iIe
vitamin D also are a corrective for
this condition.
Arizona state miner., 1926-03-13
GREEN FEED IS OF
GREAT IMPORTANCE

Green feed is fully as important
as either scratch grain or dry mash,
and comparatively few farmers feed
green food as it should be fed. A
truly successful poultryman regards
green feed as important as mash,
scratch grains or water, and sees to
it that his birds are supplied daily
with green feed in some succulent
form. Sprouted oats are most desir-
able where it is convenient to sprout
them. The oats should be soaked in
warm water for "a hours, then spread
in shallow trays, boxes, or pans, and
kept at a temperature of from 60 to
so degrees until the stem sprout of
the Oat is between one-half and
three-quarters of an inch in length.
At that stage, the oats carry the
greatest amount of food value and
succulence. It should be remembered
that the green feed is fed for succu-
lence and not necessarily for green
color
If it is not convenient to sprout
oats, any root crop may be substi-
tuted. Mangels, sugar beets, or raw
potatoes, carrots, turnips, beets, any
good root crop, fed raw, is salts
factory green feed. When cooked,
however, they are still good feed,
but have lost their value as green
feeds. In feeding root crops, the
roots should be chopped and fed in
troughs or hoppers so that all the
birds have access to them, says a
writer in the Michigan Farmer. Where
root crops are not obtainable, squash
or pumpkin chopped, or apples, may
prove satisfactory. Alfalfa that has
been steamed or soaked, is better
than nothing, but, at best, a rather
poor substitute for a good succulent
green feed. The birds should be fed
at least once per day all af the green
feed, in some form or other, that they
will clean up.

Feeding Value Of Skim
Milk of Various Breeds

There is very little, if any differ
ence in the feeding value Of skim milk
Of the different dairy breeds Guern-
sey milk does contain higher per-
centage of total solids, but the extra
amount of milk produced by the Hol-
stems offsets the difference in COM
position, so that it may be said that
Holstein COW produces as much feed
value in her milk after the cream has
been separated as Guernsey cow. 1T
may also be said that the Guernsey
cow, with her lower production of
milk, produces as much feed value in
her skim milk as the Holstein.
It may be estimated that there is
one pound additional solid matter In
100 pounds of Guernsey milk in COM
parison with that of Holsteins, which
is so small that there is very little
difference in food value in the
amounts that would be fed daily.

Rye as Dairy Feed Not
Popular Among Dairymen

Rye, as rule, does not enter largely
into the feeding Of dairy cows, in fact,
1t is not a very popular feed among
dairymen. Rye is credited with caus-
ing bitter taste in\ dairy products
and owing to the fact that rye may
ofttimes be affected with ergot is an
other consideration causing it to find
disfavor among dairymen. Ergot is a
fungus disease that attacks the ma
turing head Of the growing rye crop.
The affected kernels develop as pur-
plish-black horns. These horns when
eaten cause a reaction in the animals
body which is indicated by the slough
ing of the hair Of the tail or the claws.
If the condition is not as advanced,
lameness may be the principal result
Ergot also causes abortion, neverthe-
less rye can be used as a feed for
dairy animals.
With the usual farm forage feeds,
feed as a grain ration equal parts by
weight Of bran, oats and rye at the
rate Of one pound for every four
pounds Of milk produced.
