wv ers are again concerning them
selves with that much used and
frequently misunderstood term OF
quality" 1t is q common saying that
Montana wheat brings a premium over
wheat grown in other parts OF the
country because OF its high quality. This.
of course is true but when used in this
way high quality usually mean high
protein content and high milling value
Montana wheat has high quality also be-
cause a comparatively high percentage OF
the wheat grown in this state grades
number one and because Montana's grain
usually is low in dockage. ~Plumpness.

are of Importance in determining quality.

price paid for grain.

that the two other factors are being rec

that must be considered In determining
wheat prices the more complicated the
matter becomes. but only through . con-

quality and, therefore. the relative price
be determined.

POWERIZED GAS
DELIVERS GOODS

You'll fnd this gasoline will deliver
the goods" B. @. Stevenson, sales man
ager for Powerized said, and added, at
was stocked to meet the demand Of mo-
florists Cor a fuel of uniformly high quail
ity. With the construction of modern
motor cars, good fuel is an absolute es-
sential. To-day. with the marvels of mo-
tor car perfection, discriminating buyers
have learned that fancy upholstery,
bumpers, trunks, racks. special carrying
kits and deluxe finish with many beau
tiful refnements in the hardware and
glass, much additional weight has been
added In comparison with former
models.
AS a result more power is required.
Motor car engineers will tell you that 1t
is the speed of the motor which gives
power. AS the motor spins at higher and
ever higher revolutions per minute added
impetus is given. This is necessary when
the added weight OF the modern car Is
considered.
That's the reason for our handling
Powerized. First we want a clean fuel.
Powerized is a sweet, clean gasoline, re-
ined without dopes or acids and as free
of carbon making qualities as any motor
fuel can be made. 1t is of uniformly high
quality. Set the carburetor once and 1t
is not necessary to bother with 1t again
during the season. Powerized has the
low initial boiling point which assures
quick starting. 1t also has the low end
point which provides for complete vapor-
ization OF the last drop. That's economy.
That's why we are making q host OF new
friends with Powerized."

WHEAT HARVEST
TO START SOON
(From Montana State College,

FROM all indications at the time OF
this writing winter wheat harvest
ing will be we'll under way In east
ern Montana counties when this
is read n even spring wheat NAV be
started on us way to the elevators and
loading stations In northeastern Mon
tana early in August. From estimates OF
county agricultural agents an army OF at
least $500 men will be needed to heIp
farmers during the harvest q this
year.
Thus 1t appears hat In spite of a late
and backward spring much of the wheat
crop will mature about the usual time.
Perhaps, too, the interrupted planting
season will not prove to be an entirely
unmixed evil during the harvest season.
Early planted spring grain will rtpen
early. That part Of the crop which was
planted from four to six weeks later
will not be ready for cutting until later.
AS a result the harvest season viii b.
extended over q longer period Of time
relieving The high pressure operations
which usually characterize the harvest
ing period.
~ present indications winter wheat
harvest will be started during tho last
week IN July in Fallon. Custer. Rosebud
and Yellowstone counties, extending
gradually throughout counties to the
west and north during late July and
early August. Spring wheat Is but little
behind and 1t Is estimated that this
crop Will be ready for cutting In Shert-
dan county shortly after the first OF the
month. Opening harvest dates arc latest
In Gallattn county where the winter
wheat harvest will start between August
5 and 10 and the spring wheat harvest
not before August Is.
In the labor estimated OF county aqrt-
cultural agents approximately 1900 har-
vest n will be needed In northeast
ern counties, 1,450 in north central
counties. $50 In southeastern counties
and 100 n southern counties. Sheridan.
Daniels and Valley counties will require
about 400 men.
The harvest labor estimates Of extern
sion agents have been submitted to the
labor officials OF the federal and state
departments Of agriculture and provis-
ions have been made to meet the need
Labor offices have been opened at
Bainville, Great Falls and Lawtstown.
Harvest labor need for different coun-
ties as estimated by county agricultural
agents are as follows: Teton, 200; Cas-
cade, local supply sufficient; Choteau
$50; Pondera. 100; Hill, 500; Fergus. 400;
Judith Basin, $50; Blaine, $50; Roosevelt
200; Daniels, 400: Sheridan, 400; Valley
400; Richland. 100; Phillips. 100: Fallon
$50; Custer, so; Rosebud, so; Yellow
stone. local supply probably sufficient;
Gallatin. 100, and Saltwater, local sup
ply probably sufficient.

W COUNTIES ARE

Wv culosis these two Montana com-
monwealths Join the 323 other
counties of the United States which are
designated as modified accredited tuber-
culosis free counties by the United States
bureau Of animal industry. This fact is
of dollars and cents value to the farmers
of these counties If they will take ad-
vantage of 1t. says ]. c. Taylor. director
of the Montana Extension service, who
points out that packers pay ten cents
more per hundred for hogs when ship
ments are accompanied by certificates
showing that they are from accredited
areas.
If all the cattle in the state were
tested for tuberculosis and all counties
on the accredited list the agricultural
income OF the state would be increased
be approximately 100000 annually Just
from the 10 per cent premium On hogs.
says Director Taylor. He explains that
packers are willing to give this premium
because hogs from accredited districts
are practically free from tuberculosis
Hogs usually contract the disease from
cattle and its elimination from both IL
accomplished by the cattle testing work.
Nor is the increased hog price tho only
gain from the tuberculosis eradication
campaign, according to the extension
director. The elimination OF tuberCulAr
cattle from dairy herds means q higher
standard OF health in dairy cattle, In
creased production, better quality pro-
ducts n the elimination OF the danger
OF human infection from contaminated
milk. The same applies to beef cattle.
The removal OF diseased animals I'm
proves the general health Of the herd,
makes possible better gains and reduces
loss and shrinkage caused by disease.
With the work now under way 1t win

eastern corner of the state will be on thu

Rtchland county authorities have recog

In August, 1914, Wenholz and seven
other farmers near Forsyth purchased

ers claimed that the machinery was not

tying to use it in October, 1915. when
machinists failed to put it in good work

realised 1910. Tho company sued for
the difference on the notes.
The c-cision. written by Justice Albert

tanned by fraud and that the farmers
were justified In retaining the machinery
for the length Of time they did.
Up to the present time the income Of
the state land ONCE has been derived
from grazing and agricultural leases, in
terest on lands sold and on investments
together with royalties on coal, oil and
gas, according to I. M. Brandtord, COM
missioner OF state lands and investments.
There Is now another source OF income
in prospect" said Mr.. Brandjord, name
ly, royalties IN metals and similar min
erals found in state lands. At its last
meeting, the state board Of land COM
missioners fixed the more important
points to be embodied in mineral pros
pecting permits which are now In the
OF preparation.
''Such permits will be granted for q
period of three years, the annual fee to
be the nominal sum OF $40; the mini
mum mining requirements during the
first year of the permit will be $50 cubic
feet n during each remaining year OF
the permit work to the value Of at least
800 must be performed.
These permits are preliminary to the
granting OF mining leases. Whenever the
permitee discovers valuable minerals on
his claim and submits satisfactory proof
tt the board to this effect, he will have
the preference right to a mining lease on
the land. Under this lease he will be
required to pay q royalty to the state
graduated according to the value Of the
discovery but IN no case less than i've
per cent Of the value OF the ore or Other
minerals at the mine. These permits and
leases do not apply to prospecting fol

A rye crop for Montana Of 2,145,0 900
bushels compared with 1884, 900 BUSH
els harvested in 1926 Is forecast by the
July crop report Of the state and fed
eral department of agriculture On an
year the present rye crop on July /
acreage rs per cen larger than last
was placed at 81 per cent Of normal
since the big crop Of 1915. Only enc
other rye crop has exceeded the present
prospect n that was In 1922, when,
on an acreage considerably larger,
with a yield slightly smaller than that
indicated netted the state $3.50, 900
bushels Of rye.
The flax crop in Montana this year
Is forecast at 1888. 900 bushels compared
with 804 900 harvested In 1925, accord
ing to the July report. While not larger
by comparison with other years in which
there has been larger acreage Of flax
harvested, the present crop is 80 per
cent OF a normal on July /, compares
with Its 10-year average on this date
Of W.2 per cent.
Montana's potato crop, from o July
OF 81 per cent Of normal and
an acreage is per cent larger than 1925,
Is placed at 4,525, 900 bushels against the
short production of 2,975, 900 bushels last
year. The largest potato crop in the
state was grown IN 1917, Wnen production
$685. 900 bushels. The 1921
crop was larger than the present FORE
cast.
Montana's bean crop for 1927 is FORE
cast at $4,000 bushels compared with
40, 900 bushels in 1925. Acreage of 1927
crop is about IT per cent larger thar
that harvested in 1925.
A tame hay crop of 100000 tons is
for Montana In 1927 compared
with 1868, 900 tons cut last year. While
alfalfa acreage is slightly larger compared
with 1926. other tame hay. including
grains cut green for hay, will offset the

KID THOMAS
GETS TEN

Alphone Thomas, sensational young
pitcher of the Chicago White Sox,
Is the first pitcher in the majors to
win ten games this season. He has
lost only two decisions and should
easily better his record of last year
when he won fifteen games with a
second division club.
Thomas beat the Red Sox yester.
day. 5 to /, and Chicago advanced
to within / II games of the Yankees.
Tiny" Tavener, of Detroit, who
hits only one homer a year in his
good years, contributed his 1927
quota yesterday against Pennock of
the Yankees. and it enabled the
Tigers to beat the champions for
the first time this season, 8 to l.
The best pitching exhibition Of
the day was turned in by Virgil
Barnes, of the Giants. He held
the Reds to three hits and won
in a canter, 6 to 0, putting New
York in second place.
Vic Aldridge, of the Pirates, was
almost as effective, limiting the
Phillies to four bingles and winning,
IL to 1, as his mates pounded out
Is hits, including 3 homers.
Cleveland got three runs off Jack
Quinn in the first inning, and then
called it days work, winning 3
to l behind Lefty Miller's alright
pitching.
The Braves knocked Guy Bush out
Of the box, but barely staggered to
the wire ahead of the Cubs, 5 to 4.
Rain held the Robins and Car
dinals idle.
