1t is as easy TO buy narcotics in Butte
as it is to purchase candy, declared
Leo Kennedy, convicted in district
court there on a charge of Illegally pos
sessing narcotics. His punishment was
fixed at from two to four years in state
prison and a fine of $500. The state
failed to sustain a charge of selling
narcotics, the jury finding Kennedy
not guilty on this count.
Kennedy made the remark about the
ease with which narcotics could be pur-
chased while he was awaiting the verdict
on the possession charge. The verdict
OF acquittal on the sale charge had al
ready been read by the clerk.
Turning to a reporter Kennedy said:
III you take a $40 bill right today and
go down to Chinatown you can make o
buy even though the peddler never saw
you before
Although Kennedy said that he has
been using narcotics for two years, he
believed he could quit "the junk" in a
short time If he did not associate with
fellow addicts.
But what are you going to do" be
asked. when everybody around you is
taking 'shots?' You can't resist the
temptation to try again"
Unusual Procedure
Trial of Kennedy was conducted along
unusual lines. To begin with, the two
charges, one Of possession and one Of
sale, weer tried at the same time. 1t was
the first time such procedure has beer
followed In district court.
The jurors became somewhat confused
when the case was submitted to them
After celebrating for three an da hall
hours they returned to the court anc
asked Judge Lynch for further instruc'
lions upon the punishment that coulc
be meted out. Kennedy was brought from
the Jail to the courtroom to be present
and he then realized that he was to b.
found guilty on some charge.
About a half hour later the jury agar
reported, this time with verdicts, in fac
one too many. The jurors found Kennel,
not guilty on the sale charge. In thu
second verdict they found him guilty 0
possession and left his punishment t
the court. In the third verdict Kennel.
was found guilty of possession and thu
Jurors fixed the punishment. When TIN
conflicting verdicts were read Judgi
Lynch ordered the jurors to again re
tire and correct the return. This the.
did.
Kennedy was charged with making
sale to an addict employed by govern
ment agents.

That Montana ranks fourth In h
United states In the amount of wool
shorn i'm 1927 Is indicated by a report
Issued by the crop M livestock de-
parfment Mt Helena The wool clip IN
Montana this year amounted TO Zl,-
GA 600 pounds. Thgt of the United
States is s72, 543, 00C pounds.
The amount of wool shorn in the Unit
ed States is TATTOO pounds greater
thar the amount shorn last year, accord
ing to the preliminary estimate OF the
department of agriculture. The total
production is estimated at 272, 343 ,000
pounds, compared with $50, sIo, ooo
pounds last year. This is the largest clip
since 1911.
The increased production this year is
due to the increase in the number OF
sheep shorn, which more than Offsets the
decrease in the average weight per
fleece. The number shorn is reported
as So, $40, 900 in 1927 and 33,548.000 In
1925. The average weight per fleece was
7.6 in 1927 and 7.8 last year.
The increase in sheep shorn is gen.
eral throughout the country. In the
western group of states. where about &c
per cent of the wool is produced, the
average weight per fleece decreased from
81 pounds in 1925 to 7.8 pounds in 1927
This accounts for the decrease in the
United States average, although there
! was a slight increase in the southern
states.
Texas had the highest production with
a clip of zoos, 900 pounds. Next in order
were wyoming. with "a ,234 900 pounds
and California, with %, $50. 900 pounds
followed by Montana. The IT western
range states produced 204. 576 900 pounds
rs per cent of the total production o.
the United States.
Montana's production this year wa
2,276, 900 pounds smaller than last yea
when the total clip was 80, 800. 900 pounds
The average weight per fleece was alst
smaller. The average for this year wa
8.6 pounds and for last year 8.8 pounds
However. Montana's weight per fleece wa
I. exceeded by only two states. Washington
with "a pounds and Oregon. with 81
pounds. Montana's production this yea
represents TT per cent Of the total pro
duction of the United States.
Annual wool estimates date back II
1886 and show the peak of production
in the state in 1904 with 37,773 ,00
pounds. The trend was definitely down
ward after 1909, carrying production tt
the low point of 16, 000, 900 pounds IL
1920. from which point the general re
covery has been rapid.
The present world production of woo
is about two pounds per capita. I TIL
United States consumption of wool /
about five pounds per capita, of whicl
approximately half is produced In thi
country. Last year Montana consumes
about 100000 pounds of wool. The pro
duction was %, 100000 pounds, or almos
ten times the consumption.

THAT the Great Northern railway will

hat the seasons volume OF grain raised

tenn in Montana will total $4,000 900

phasized by Ralph Budd, president of
the Great Northern during his most
recent visit to Montana
Markets Heavy Crop
1.-THE Great Northern railway has al
ready taken 25, 100000 bushels OF Mon
tana grain to market, harvested along
its lines, and expects to transport TO-
600. 0 bushels in the spring, as road
conditions at present prevent hauling
the product to market" continued Mr..
Budd.
The Great Northern has just completed
the survey for an 80-mile branch line In
Montana running from Sacc to Turner
bench, in the northeastern part OF the
state. This line will tap q productive
agricultural community now 80 to AZ
miles from q railroad.
The maps and estimates are being pre-
pared, and the directors will give final
consideration to the building of the
line in the near future according to
Mr.. Budd.
"This line will open q fertile area
comparable with the Scobey-Opheim
branch which was opened last year, and
which we consider one of the very best
PARTS Of Montana and n OF the best
sections along the Great Northern sys-
tenn" said the railway chief.
From Middle West
"There is q concerted movement t6
Montana which will undoubtedly be aug
mented when people in Indiana, lowe
and Illinois learn of conditions prevail

them. We have an active organization
in touch with these regions and expec'
to bring In a large number OF substan'
tial ranchers this spring.

~ M indication of the Importance
place sugar beets are destined 10
~ play In the agriculture OF the rri-
gated lands of Montana is contained
in the discussion and recommendations
on sugar beet production as presented
at the agricultural economic conference
at Billings last winter, the report OF
which is now being published by the
Montana Extension Service. FROM thls
it appears that Montana is favored as a
sugar beet producing area because OF
comparatively high yields. high sugar
content and relative freedom from the
more serious insect and disease pests.
The report on sugar beets which ap-
plies particularly to the irrigated lanos
of southeastern Montana but which mas
a general application to other irrigated
areas of the state, is as follows.
Most western states show a decline In
sugar beet acreage since 1924. due largely
to the ravages of the sugar seet ieai
hopper. The Montana acreage is gradu-
ally increasing, although, IN Common
with other beets growing areas, reduced
returns in 1928 had q noticeable effect
upon acreage in 1924.
Montana has advantages in sugar beet
production which enable the beet grow
ers to compete with other states. Inese
are. lana values, iieeooh oeAA

centage of crop harvested and high quail
ity. ;.

Montana Is tigher than in Michigan anc

pears to have an advantage OF one tc

many way that make really tempting
dishes.
Below are a few good recipes for pre-
pairing potatoes.

squares. Leave in cold water for an hour
and boil tender mot until they break
In hot water slightly sailed. Drain, put
into a creased baking dish. Pour over
