SUCCESS WITH TREES
DEMANDS PREPARATION

Summer fallow now for tree
planting in 1928" is the advice OF
Extension Horticulturists who have
studied the problem of tree plant
ing in the great plains area. Land
must be summer fallowed at least
one year and with the excellent
moisture conditions now prevailing
the outlook for trees planted in
the next year is excellent. With
out summer fallow considerable
risk is taken and there is much
doubt if trees will grow satisfac-
torily whether they be fruit or
shelterbelt trees.
At this season of the year many
farmers are purchasing from ira
yelling statesmen and are warned
against investing in unproven var
ieties. recommended varieties of
apples include the Yellow Trans
parent, the Duchess, Okabena,
Wealthy, Patten and Hibernal. A

SWIFT CURRENT GOAL OF
CANADIAN FARM TOUR

The Swift Current Experiment
Station is the goal of the Montana
Annual Canadian Farm Tour from
northern Montana provided by Bx
tension Service.
The proposed Canadian tour will
take place about the third week
in July, plans having been ten
tatively drawn up at recent con
ference of northern Montana coun-
ty agents held at Culbertson. The
exact date will be made public as
soon as definite arrangements have
been made with the Swift Cur
rent Experiment Station officials.
H. L. Lantz of Malta is now
securing detailed information in
regard to the tour, and arranging
a schedule of stops for farmers in
terested in studying Canadian ag-
riculture. The Swift Current sta
ton lies directly north of Malta
in a prosperous agricultural sec
tion which is in many ways similar
to northeastern Montana, and in
many respects is more alike than
the Regina-Indian Head district
through which the farm tour was
directed in 1926.
American farmers have shown
great interest in studying agricul-
tural conditions in the Canadian
provinces on previous tours, as
with their older land and more
rigorous climate Canadian farmers
have been forced to adopt stand
ard practices which are in many
cases adaptable to Montana con-
ditions. Many valuable suggestions
have been brought back by far
mers from this side who have
studied farms and demonstration
plots in the Canadian provinces.
More details on trails, schedules,
demonstration to be visited, etc,
will be published following their
receipt from the direction of the
tour.-A. w. Warden, Co. Agent.

WOLVES WIN ON
GLASGOW LINKS
RETURN MATCH DEVELOPS
SOME FLASHY GOLF ON
BOTH TEAMS

The return Glasgow Wolf Point
intercity golf match was played on
the Glasgow links last Sunday be-
tween II members of the Wolf
Point club and like number of
Glasgow players. BY mutual agree
ment the result of the match was
determined by comparing the best
six scores made by Wolf Point and
the best six made by Glasgow.
The result was a victory for
Wolf Point by 80 strokes. Two
nine-hole rounds were played
Glasgow's half dozen best were
"Beany" Lenz, II, ]. Bjorstad, rs,
Barickman, sc, Rugg, 80, Mont
gomery, 81, and Friedland, 80. To
tai 514.
The best scores for Wolf Point
were made by Burgess, n, Davey,
70, Catlin, so, Chapman, 81, Cook,
so, and Rathert SO. Total 4S2.
Other Wolf Point players who
scored 80 or better for the IS holes
were Flint "a, Prendergast SO,
Clayton SO, Foor 80, Cal Rogers 80.
The remaining Wolf Point play
ers were Wamsley, DeWane, Jen-
son, White, Heinze and Rinehart.
All made creditable scores. The
score of one Glasgow player was
not obtained but estimating that
one, and totaling the scores of the
II players of each club, the Wolves
are shown to be winners by about
S5 strokes.
Secretary Rugg in sending the
scores says: 1--WE still think we
can beat you. Four of our best
players were out of town." which
is the right way to feel about it.
John Cook was the stellar per-
former for Wolf Point on the last
round of the play, negotiating the
nine holes in "a, only one stroke
over par. The Glasgow course was
found in very good condition and
offers an interesting variety OF
shots. Our players enjoyed the
trip and Glasgow's hospitality very
much.
Coming Matches
The Williston club has invited
the Wolves to come there for the
annual Williston-Wolf Point match
on July 8. The date has been ac-
cepted and a return date offered

MRS. GROVER BLAKENOW
TEACHES WOMEN TO FLY

Local frinds of Mr.. and Mrs.
Grover Blake, who spent the sum-
mer here four years ago, will be
interested in news of them which
G. F. Blaich, grandfather of Mr..
Blake, recently received The
Blakes are engaged in flying at
Santa Monica, Calf, and Mrs.
Blake now has a unique occupa-
tion-that of teaching women to
fly. A clipping taken from the
Muskogee, Okla Phoenix, shows
Mrs. Blake in her flying suit.
Another clipping from the Los
Angeles Times of May 25, recounts
a fatal air accident when Lieut..
Walter j. Ligon, air reserve officer,
and Ivan l.. Hall, student flyer,
were killed when the wing of the
plane piloted by Ligon crumpled,
and the plane crashed to the
ground. The story says in part:
Mrs. Veda Blake, an instructor
at the field, made a flight in the
plane Monday and planned to use
it yesterday morning for some
stunt flying. She was dissuaded
by her husband, Grover Blake,
when he examined the plane and
found it in no condition for flying.
"I also called Halls attention to
it, Blake said 4 pointed out what
was wrong and he asked me if l
knew how to remedy it as he was
not familiar with the Waco plane
told him I did not. Shortly af-
terward they took off and the
plane collapsed"
Mr.. and Mrs. Blake plan to leave
Santa Monica soon by car for Wolf
Point and will be here on July 8
to help Mr.. and Mrs. Blaich cele-
brate their sixieth wedding ami
versary.

new COMPANY
TO COMPLETE
POPLAR TEST
DRILLING TO BE RESUMED
IN 1900 FOOT HOLE
OF PIONEER WELL
Businessmen Of Several Towns
Joining Forces To Try
Out Local Field

Articles of Incorporation have
been filed by the Community
Drilling Company, local corpora
ton organized by local men, for
the expressed purpose of complet.
ing the test we'll commenced by
the Pioneer Oil Company on the
Poplar Oil Dome, southeast of this
city.
The officers of the new company
are C. L. Smith, President; Fred
Turner, Vice President; T. P.
Danielson, Secretary Treasurer
The Board of Directors is COM
posed as follows: G. l.. Smith,
Poplar; T. P. Danielson, Poplar;
Oluf Waldum, Poplar; R. ]. White,
Wolf Point; Henry Lowe, Culbert-
son; L. M. Ford, Culbertson; r.
S. Mutt, Sidney; d. M. Sayles,
Bainville; John Brudie, Froid.
It's authorized capital is 100000,
over $4,000 of which has been
subscribed.
AS it's name implies this is a
community affair and the organic
ers hope to be given the active
support of people residing in Roo
sevelt, Richland, and McCone coun-
ties. The Pioneer Oil Company
drilled to a depth of approximately
26OO feet and it is estimated by
those who claim to know, that oil
sands should be encountered any
where from 5000 to $500 feet.
This is not stock selling pro-
position but bona fide effort up
on the part of those who have the
good of the community at heart
to develop one of its natural sour
ces of wealth. 1t is hoped that
every community in this section of
the state may get behind the move
ment and contribute it's just pro-
portion of the necessary funds TO
complete the test. Land owners
who would be benefited by such a
move are asked to cooperate with
the officers of the company and
refuse to lease their lands to any
other organizations or individuals
for speculative purposes as by so
doing they might prevent the com
pany from obtaining results.
The officers of the new company
feel confident that they will be able
to complete the well this fall, If
given the moral and financial sup
port which they believe the under
taking merits.
A producing we'll would mean
enormous wealth to the communl-
ty at large and the success OF the
enterprise depends upon the active
cooperation and support of every
one interested. The experience OF
the past should convince everyone
that the only way to determine
whether the Poplar Oil Dome con-
tains oil in commercial quantities
is for the people themselves to
get together and unite in de-
termined effort to complete the
test for the common good of all.

STORAGE DAM BURSTS
a DROWNED In FLOOD

ANACONDA, June "A. ~ The
bursting of an old unused storage
and irrigation dam, II miles up
the north fork of Wise river from
it's junction with the Big Hole
river, so miles southeast of Ana
conda, yesterday caused flood
which took toll of four lives,
washed out half a dozen bridges
across Big Hole river and tied up
the Oregon Short Line railroad
for an indefinite period.
The Sdead are: Mr. and Mrs.
Tracey Turman and their son, and
Charles Ferguson, all of Wise
River postoffice.
Bridges Go
Investigation is in progress to-
night to determine the status OF a
number of ranchers who live up
the Wise river canyon. The rush
of water has washed out all
bridges on the small stream and
has made the highway impossible.
The Montana Power company's
dam at Divide, the oldest of the
entire Montana Power system,
held like the rock of Gibraltar
while the timber cribbing of the
Wise river dam went over it, fol
lowed by several sections of the
railroad bridge of the Allen mar
row gauge line which leads from
Divide to the Elkhorn mines. 1S
miles up the Wise river. The
fact that the Divide dam held,
saved the lower Big Hole valley
from serious inundation and dam
age.

of this week, the city council vot-
ed to have Main and Anacorda
streets from First Avenue to
Fourth Avenue South surfaced

the council will meet the approval
of the payers of at least 80 per
cent of the taxes of the city, and
is a fortunate solution of a trou-
blesome problem.
The city is to pay three-fourths
of the cost, the other one-fourth

NATION PAYS
HIGH H0NORS
TO ITS HERO
LIND ERGH RECEIVED AT
WASHINGTON ACCOMPA-
MED BY MOTHER
President Pins Flying Cross On
Breast Of Youth Who Flew
To Paris

WASHINGTON, June 11.-With
the nations memorials to her
great heroes looking down upon
him. Charles A. Lindbergh today
was formally welcomed home and
tremendously inducted into the
ranks of American immortals.
Many thousands of his fellow
citizens cheered him and tried to
touch his hand as he paraded down
historic Pennsylvania avenue, and
many thousands more gathered in
bowling mass at the base of the
Washington monument to see
President Coolidge bestow upon
him. in the name of the republic,
the first of a new order of decora-
tions for valor 1t was the dis
tinguished flying cross, conferred
on him in recognition of his thun-
derbolt fight across the Atlantic
three weeks ago today.
Mother With Him
Riding beside his mother, who
had been the first to meet him
when he reached Washington at
noon on the cruiser Memphis, the
hero scarcely seemed to hear the
plaudits of the crowds that pack
ed the way of his triumphal jour
ney down Washington's most IA
nous thoroughfare. He acknow-
lodged the rolling cheers now and
again with a nod of the uncovered
head. but most of the way he sat
unresponsiYe. AS he rode past the
postoffice department, where an air.
plane propeller had been hung
above the entrance in recognition
of his service as an airmail pilot,
he barely turned his head and
waved an acknowledgment.
Even before the blonde young
airman had neared the monument
grounds, the crowd there expanded
almost incredibly. 1t surrounded
soIidIy the small reception stand
for almost as far as the eye could
see. Many more thousands were
on top of the distant knolls.
Brilliant Scenes
President Coolidge already was
at his place on the reception stand
He sat under the protecting top
of the stand with his high hat on.
Occasionally he smiled at the
crowd and turned to talk to those
about him.
Mrs. Coolidge, sitting to his
;lod ~ f,,iandc.
in the stands. Members of the
cabinet with their wives took seats
on the Presidents platform. Prac-
tically the entire diplomatic corps
was gathered to the Presidents
left with members of the supreme
court and of the semi-official re-
ception committee to the left.
Shrill cries and cheers announc-
ed to the waiting throng at the
stands that Lindbergh was ap-
preaching. 1t was just 1 o'clock
when the car bearing the viking
Of the air turned into the monu-
ment grounds. The band struck
M Sousa's STARS and Stripes For
ever" and another deafening roar
went up from the crowd.
Cheers Interrupt
With the soldiers and police
keeping his admirers out of the
enclosure about him, Lindbergh
quickly mounted to the platform.
He bowed and shook hands with
the President while Mrs. Coolidge
drew Mrs Lindbergh to seat be-
side her. Lindbergh was escorted
to the place reserved for him,
