About Farming
(From Montana state Collegel

I'm THE soft wheat variety tests con-
Quoted in Missou1a county last sea-

The tests were carried on by H. Stiegler
and A. P. Deschamps under the direc-
ton Of NJ M. Oliphant, county agricul-
tural agent. In Mr.. Stiegler's test Fed

During the past season 1491 sacks Of
poison were used in the campaign to
control ground squirrels in Daniels coun-

conducted in the communities of SEQ

Outdoor scales should receive particu-
lar attention during the winter months,
says the United States department Of
agriculture. Ice and snow lodged be-
tween movable parts often cause serious
errors. To avoid such errors scales should
be carefully examined frequently.
Meetings were held at Volt, Wide
Awake and Benrude communities, Roose-
velt county, last month to consider the
progress made in agriculture during the
past season and to draw up plans for ex-
tension work for next year.
According to a survey recently made
farmers move to cities because they can
not make farming pay, because the city
offers promise Of larger income, because
Of better school facilities, and because of
physical reasons. Those who move from
cities to farms often are former farmers
who have become disillusioned by city
life and conclude they can make a bet
/ ter living on the farm. Some move back
to the farm because of better living con-
ditions, because of the high cost of liv-
ing in town, and because of the "inde-
pendence" associated with farm life.
AS a result of the economic conference
held in Ravalli county last month a

OF AIRPORT NEED
Army Flyer Pictures Progress
of Plane Transportation
to New Committee.

4 picture of a tremendous develop
ment of air transportation in the next
few years was presented to the newly
formed aviation committee of the
Washington Board Of Trade at its
initial meeting yesterday afternoon
by Lieut.. Donald Duke Of the Army
Air Corps, who is specializing on air.
port work
Lieut.. Duke predicted that in q com
paratively short time air transporta-
rion to and from Washington would
assume great proportions and de
,.lared tflal the establishment of an
adequate airport in the District of
Columbia would be an absolute neces-
sity.
He urged support of the movement
for the development of n permanent
airport on the Gravelly Point site on
the south side of the Potomac River,
for which the District Commissioners
have intimatcd they would submit a
bill at the present session of Congress.
Lieut.. Duke, who was active during
the past Summer during COnsidert-
ton OF various proposed sites for
such q port, presented maps to the
committee showing the proposed
plans for this development, urging
the necessity Of early action on this
project in order that washington
may retain the air mail service soon
to be inaugurated along the Eastern
Coast. The War Department has
granted temporary use of Boiling
Field as a landing field for such air
mail service. with the understanding
that the District would establish
permanent port.
Edwin G.. Graham. president of the
Board of Trade. urged the new avia-
ton committee to make a study of
the airport question.

FEDERAL RESERVE
DESCRIBED BY PLATT
Vice Governor Tells Civilians Board
Cannot Control World
Price Levels.

Those in charge Of the Federal Re.
serpe banking system are unable to
control price levels throughout the
world, as has been charged in certain
circles, declared Edmund Platt. vice
governor Of the Federal Reserve
Board, in describing the reserve sys-
TEN in an address at a luncheon Of
the Civitan Club in the La Fayette
Hotel yesterday.
While admitting that the system
might be capable Of making it's in
fiuence felt, Mr.. Platt emphasized
that he did not think it could go so
far as it has been accused Of doing.
Referring to the working of the
system itself in this country. he de-
clared that it is not a perfect system
and that it does not work exactly like
its founders thought it could, but
works pretty we'll
The speaker declared this country
had the worst banking system in the
world prior to the Civil War. and
referred to the financial panic of
1907 and showed how the reserve
system protects the country from
recurrence.
Bank failures" Mr.. Platt declared,
"are peculiarly an American institu.
tion," adding that it is very seldom
that bank failures occur in other
countries. Banks are seldom exam
ined in other countries, as they are
in this country, the governments
being willing to leave the running of
the banks entirely to the judgment
of the bankers, he said.
