action involves s11.910.56 as taxes for

STATE DOES NOT INTEND TO RE-
ENTER FARM LOAN BUSINESS,
is OPINION

(By Our Helena Correspondent

(By Our Helena Correspondent
That the state of Montana does not
intend to re-enter the farm loan bust
ness, in which II now has about $ $1,000
000 invested, at least not until condi-
tons make u decided change from
those existing at present. was made
known at q meeting of the state board
of land commissioners recently.
For a long period, especially since the
beginning OF the slump in farm values.
the state has been making no loans upon
farm lands, its activities along these lines
being largely that of obtaining title to
lands covered by state loan mortgages,
and i'll rehabilitating the numerous de-
linQuent loans by their transfer into
amortization contracts.
Several applications for loans have
been received and one of these WAS be-
fore the board at a recent meeting. at
which time 1t merely reiterated its policy
OF ~refraining from the making OF loans
for the present at least.
The board had briefly under discussion
the matter of oil n gas leases upon
state lands with the view to the adoption
Of a form Of lease TO be issued under the
provisions of chapter 108 of the laws of
1927. 1t was suggested that the state
might adopt a form of exploration lease
similar to that executed by the federal
government, covering the exploration
period with q different form to be en-
tered into in the event of the discovery
OF oil or gas. No decision was reached
and the matter will be more fully dis
cussed at subsequent meetings Of the
board.
The board authorized the state treas
urer to invest in state general fund war;
rants, which earn 4 per cent interest,
$4,000 now lying in the state educa-
tional ond interest and sinking fund.
Annie Mcdonald is entitled to a prefer
ence claim against The American Bank g.
Trust company of Missoula, not only for
the amoun of principal, but for interest
as well from the date the bank closed to
the date OF Judgment, the supreme court
held recently.
Judgment of the district court for Mis-
soula county is affirmed, except that it
failed to limit the amour to the sum
available in the trust fun and. to that
extent, it is modified. The limit, the
court says, is the amount Of the lowest
balance on hand in the bank between
the date of making the collection INC
its enforced closing.
Action of the district court of Carbon
county In reducing the judgment allowed
Sadie Mae Puutio against Steve Roman
was proper, the supreme cour has de-
cided, affirming the action of the court.
In the absence Of a showing of abuse Of
discretion on the part Of the trial Judge
in reducing the verdict to 90. 1000, the SUI
preme court cannot say. from the record.
1t is explained.

w THEN Catlin came to what was
\A/ the Upper Missouri, he found the
w Indians decidedly unappreciatlve
OF the pictorial art of the whites.
and they were reluctant to sit or stand
for their portraits. 1t was a new ex-
perience for them-something they did
not understand. Moreover. their medi-
cine men. whose office it was to protect
them from malign influences, warned
them that IL was dangerous to have
their pictures painted.
We may laugh at their credulity. or
express contempt for their ignorance, for
getting meanwhile, that not very long
age. our ancestors were equally super
stitious. And as for ourselves? A neigh
Dor of mine nailed a horseshoe on his
kitchen door to protect his family from
evil spirits. Why he nailed the shoe TO
the kitchen door, and not TO the front
door likewise, ! never knew. Then how
many of us prefer not to undertake q
Journey or any new work on a Friday; or
catch our first glimpse of h new moon

1t unlucky to turn back after leaving

lingering superstitions, after centuries of
civilization, and only the other day we
were told witch hunting was going on in
a French province.
1t is always dangerous to NEEDLE with
established cOnQlIlOns, or attempt 70 IN
troduce new ideas among any people. and
those who do so must expect TO suffer
the consequences. In the case of Catlin,
he did not realize hat he was an Offend
er, until those better versed in Indian
customs warned him.
At one time he had set up his easel
and posed the head chief of the Sioux
for his portrait. The latter was arrayed
in all his finery, including an imposing
war bonnet and richly embroidered gar
ments. Everything was ready, and Catlin
was about to begin. when from the group
of Indians who had gathered to view the
performance there arose the sound OF
lamentation, as Catlin's brush touched
the canvas. The women put their hands
over their mouths, and made the most
pitiful doleful laments," while tears
streamed down their faces, and compan-
ioning their walls were the cries of the
children.
Catlin could not understand what 1t
was all about, but the chief knew, and
turning to the mourners, he assured them
that no injury was being lone him. The
medicine man of the tribe had told them
1t was bad medicine to be painted, and
their chief would suffer some mishap, or
probably die, if his picture was painted.
At the very least, something would be
taken from him to his great loss.
In this instance, Catlin's subject man

The Livingston Office of the Ameri-
can Railway Express company had as
a guest a few days ago a large Golden
Eagle which Is to make Its future home
In Yellowstone National park. The
eagle was addressed to Chief Ranger
Sam WOodring and was shipped by the
North Side Lumber company of Fort
Wayne, Ind. The bird was in a crate
about four feet high and 1t is said
that the eagle would have measured
about seven feet from wing tip to wing
tip.
Although Chief Ranger Woodrtng was
not interviewed concerning the bird, 1t
is believed that he probably was unawar
of the addition about to be made to the
park. Two cub bears were sent two years
ago from Idaho to the chief ranger, who
did not know hat the bears were en-
route until their arrival at Mammoth.
Yellowstone park. the world over, is
known as a refuge for animals and birds.
Many people make pets OF wild animals
birds and when they become too large
to keep at home, they are shipped to the
park where they are sure to be safe.

Murphy ranch, just this side of the Point

SAWFLY DOING
SOME DAMAGE
North Central Counties Have
Trouble With Wheat.stem
Pest, Munro Says

The western wheat-stem sawfly
has done considerable damage this
season in the north central counties
Of North Dakota, according to re-
ports coming in from county agents
and farmers to Prof. J. A. Munro,
entomologist, North Dakota Agricul-
tural college.
Fallen straw in the wheat fields
was usaully the first indication Of
the sawfly damage, pc ;nts out Pro-
lessor Munro. Whole fields have
been attacked in some sections, and
upward to Is per cent damage was
reported. In the areas Of infesta-
ton it is estimated that Is per cent
Of the grain was down due to this
insect pest. Reports from lone Of
the western provinces Of Canada
indicate that the sawfly has been
prevalent there, and has caused con-
siderable damage in tire wheat this
year.
The sawfly is a native of America.
and previous to the coming f white
men the fly existed Un wild grasses.
With the coming of civilization the
fly has to a large extent changed
its feeding habits from the wild
grasses to cultivated crops such as
wheat and rye.
Winters In Stubble
A study Of the sawfly shows that
it winters over in the larval or worm
stage in grain stubble o. the infested
fields The following spri..e along
in June, the flies emerge. Egg lay
ing begins shortly. These eggs are
deposited by the female fly inside
Of the hollow stems If the wheat or
rye, md within q very few da- they
hatch into small white worms. It
is these worms that eat and weaken
the straw 20 that q characteristic
falling over Of the plants results.
Control measures are based almost
entirely on preventing the recurrence
Of the damage the following year,
according r. Mr.. Munro. Fields
which have been infested this sea-
son should be plowed under this
fall, because q large percentage of
+, the worms e in the stubble close
to the ground. Precautions should
be taken to thoroughly turn under
the stubble so as to cover up the
worms to a depth of to inches.
This control is also satisfa" ory for
the Hessian fly which is also a pest
Of wheat.
Burning ove.' the stubble fields
does not bring about a satisfactory
control for either the Hessian fly or
the sawflv for the reason that many
Of the larvae winter in TIE stubble
close to tie ground. or one-half inch
under the surface, and thus q large
percentage Of the larvae are not
exposed to the fire, concludes Mr..
flunro.
