The week just past has been a

are Mr. and Mrs. Arlie M. Foor
and son, Milton, who reached

They have spent a month amid the

At Missoula they were Joined by
Mr.. Foors brother, Forrest, and
wife, who is on the Helena high

a series of lessons.
Arlie is strong in his praise of

of good whether you are sick or
not, he says. They camped in the
pine covered hills near the Springs.
Best vacation ever, is the verdict.

ANNUAL WARNING SAYS
SELECT SEED CORN NOW

The annual warning to corn
growers to select seed corn be-
fore the first frost is again being
broadcast by the Montana EXten.
sion Service. Another years re-
suits has proven that this is a
commendable practice and is one
of the best means of insuring a
supply of homegrown seed corn
of high termination.
Seed corn selected during the
first ten days of September has
repeatedly proven to be the most
dependable and has been the
means of building up a supply of
dependable homegrown corn, as
practically all of the corn selected
at that time is the earliest ripening
and will produce a crop of mature
corn every year.
How Early?
The question of how early corn
can be picked and still be suitable
for seed has been repeatedly ask
ed by farmers of northern Mon
tana. Corn selected during the
various stages of growth have been
tested out and it has been found
that corn picked in the field during
the late milk stage will give good
results the following year unless
conditions are decidedly unfavor-
able at planting time.
The fact that northern Montana
has used her entire supply of seed
corn and now has but little carried
over from previous years makes
it imperative that large amount
of seed corn be saved this year
Select twice as much as needed,
is the recommendations broadcast to
corn growers who are interested in
building up dependable strains for
northeastern Montana.-A. w.

MONDAK DANCE
GETS THE HOOK
PROPRIETOR ARRESTED, TWO
HARGES-WILD SUNDAY
SCENE AT "MONDAk"

| Undersheriff Charles Council
and Deputy John Iwen put the
Home Sweet Home number on the
program of a Sunday morning
dance at Fort Union, seized some
bottled goods in a cooling tub in
an adjoining room and arrested
John Jensen, the proprietor of the
joint. The raid was completed
about 1 a. m. Sunday morning.
Numerous complaints had been
made about the place and federal
officers had had it under surveil-
lance. Jensen formerly had an
other building rented, but the
owner, Ike Honstain, who did not
approve of the style of Jensen's
business, put him out, so he Sc
cured another of the deserted busi-
ness buildings of the former town
of Mondak.
Jensen was brought to Wolf
Point, arraigned before Justice
Gordon on a charge of violating
the state Sunday dance law.
County Attorney Marion appeared
for the state. Jensen pleaded
guilty and was fined $25.
Federal Charges Also
He was then taken before U. S.
Commissioner Stennes, charged
with the possession and sale of
liquor. The Commits
sioner held him for hearing and
fixed his bail at $500. This he
was unable to furnish until Thurs
day and languished in the county
Jail in the mean time.
The officers say that the dance
they found going on Sunday morn
ing was the most shocking affair
they ever saw. The room was
packed with men and girls, many

CHAS. COUNCIL
Each Choose One

At the suggestion of The Herald
each of the three leading candi-
dates named one Judge. Elida
Smith, the fourth girl nominated,
is out at her fathers farm near
Lustre and neither she nor her
friends made any campaign, so it
was a three cornered race. Clerk
of Court Forbes being away on a
vacation, Miss Tessman was kept in
the Office by her duties as deputy.
Besides that it was not her desire
to make any effort in her own be-
half. Her sister, Marie, did some
efficient work for Hedwig, whose
friends were very loyal. The Her
AIDS Poplar list was much increas-
ed.
Vera Smith did not spend much
time on her campaign but her
friends remembered her nicely.
Madaline Strachan made an ener-
getic campaign and had many sup
porters who sent their ballots in by
mail. On the score of popularity
it seemed toss-up between the
three. The splendid vote received
by each was fine compliment
to them and best proof of their
attractiveness and personal popu-
larity. Miss Strachan has been
the recipient of many congratula-
tions.
Judges Big Job

work checking, listing and adding

ortunate fact that only one could

INTEREST INCREASES In
PROTEIN WHEAT TESTS

A survey of the county to de-
termine the protein content of the
1927 crop indicates that Roose-
welt county wheat will average
better than 13 per cent this year.
The foregoing conclusion was
reached after taking IS samples
at random throughout the county,
an effort being made to secure
samples from land handled by diff
ferent methods in proportion to the
amount of wheat raised by each
method
The samples secured show a
range from II per cent to 1910
per cent with the average being
1916 per cent for the entire lot.
A summary of the protein tests
of wheat from Roosevelt county
in past years indicates that in 1926
wheat averaged Is per cent, in
1925 IA per cent, in 1924 u per-
cent and in 1923 13 per cent If
the average of the wheat this year,
as indicated by the survey, is a.
round 13 per cent it will not com
mand the premium received in
1925 and doubtful if as much as
1926.
The interest in marketing wheat
on a protein bass is increasing
and laboratory managrs at Boze-
man, Great Falls and Bainville
state that business is increasing
steadily as farmers increase their
efforts to know the true value of
their products.-A. w. WARDEN,

MONTANA WHEAT FIGURE HIGH:
NATIONAL ESTIMATE IS LOWER

While Montana's wheat crop is
record production the national
production of all wheat is placed
by the August 1 forecast at $751;
100000 bushels representing a de-
cline for the month of 100000
bushels, according to statistics an
nounced by Jay G. Diamond, fed
eral crop expert at Helena. While
winter wheat prices started the
crop season and a level higher
than that beginning the last year,
prospects for the season are still
uncertain, with the outlook de-
pending upon developments in
Canada, Russia and the southern
hemisphere.
Stocks of all wheat at the be-
ginning of the season were re-
ported very light in importing
countries and increased activity in
European buying, based on uncer-
tainty of the new crop caused
prices to rise to the highest levels
VI lu0 ySdl NY CnS HlSJ VI JUNE
1t is evident that this season with
the United States crop being about
43,000,000 bushels above the five
year average production that all
classes of wheat with the possible
exception of soft red winter will be
on an expert basis throughout
most, if not all of the year
Drop Probable
While prices, are now being in
fiuenced by reports of conditions
from all parts of the world, it is
probable that with the arrivals of
new wheat in domestic markets
there will be some downward ten
dency in prices.
In 1925 producers would have
gained by holding till the first of
January but not longer; last year
they would have had to hold till
the first of June to realize the
highest prices of the season. This
experience illustrates the uncer-
tainty of the course of prices and
the necessity of producers using
sound judgment as to marketing
policy. The present outlook for
world wheat production in the
northern hemisphere is about the
same as year ago although in
this situation, reports of the Eur
opean crop, exclusive of Russia,
indicate a harvest about 75,000,- !
900 bushels above last year. Eur
