POLITICS
TO FIGHT fire

GOLDEN. Colo. Sept. 2s.This
town has set & new municipal
fashion. Il thinks more Of 4 fire
truck to protect life and property
OF its citizens than It does Of a
town election. Rather than put
out the expenditure necessary for
the eiection-it spent the money
such an election would cost to
purchase q new General Motors
fire truck. It il the only town in
the country so far as known that
has ever obtained an improvement
at the sacrifice of an election.
Some time ago the volunteer fire
department petitioned the citizens
to eliminate an election and use
the money saved to buy a General
Motors fire truck. Mayor A. =.
Jones and the council agreed to the
plan. With the cooperation Of
the town authorities and what the
Golden fire department headed by
Chief Williams. did. a new General
Motors fire truck was obtained and
Is now In service. The truck Il q
tWo-ton General Motors chassis
with six-cylinder Buick engine.
In celebration Of the acquisition
OF the new equipment the fire
department of Golden, together
with a large number OF Denyerites.

monwealths join the 323 other
counties OF the United States which are
designated as modified accredited tuber-

bureau OF animal industry. This fact is
of dollars and cents value to the farmers
OF these counties II they will take adj
vantage OF 1t, says j. 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.
II all the cattle in the state were

on the accredited list the agricultural
income of the state would be increased

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 II

Nor is the increased hog price the 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 and the elimination OF the danger
OF human infection from contaminated
milk. The same applies to beef cattle.
The removal Of diseased animals Inn

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 and even spring wheat may be
started on Its 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 help
farmers during the harvest season this
year.
Thus 1t appears that 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 ripen
tearly. 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 win be
extended over q longer period of time
relieving the high pressure operations
which usually characterize the harvest
ing period.
At 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

dan county shortly after the first Of tho

In Gallatin county where tho winter
wheat harvest will start between August
8 MT 10 and the spring wheat harvest
not before August as.
In the labor estimated of county agri-
cultural agents approximately 1900 har-
vest hands Will be needed In northeast
ern counties. 1,450 IL north central
counties, $50 in southeastern counties
and 100 in southern counties. Sheridan,
Daniels and Valley counties will require
about 400 men.

ions have been made to meet the need

"As a result more power is required.
Motor car engineers will tell you that 1t

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

"Such permits will be granted for a

the permit work to the value of at least

These permit1 are preliminary to the
granting of mining leases. Whenever the
permitee discovers valuable minerals on
his claim and submits satisfactory proof
to the board to this effect, he will have
the preference right to q mining lease on
the land. Under this lease he will be
required to pay a royalty to the state

1927 RYE CROP IS
BEST ON RECORD
EXPERTS FORECAST THAT MONTANA
CROP WILL EXCEED 1927 BY
WIDE MARGIN
Only One Other Season Has Exceeded
Present Expectations, that Being 1922,
When Acreage Was Considerably
Larger and Harvest Brought $500, 900
Bushels

A rye crop for Montana of ALAS, 600
bushels compared with 1,284,O 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 cent larger than last
was placed at 81 per cent OF normal
condition indicating the best Yield
since the big crop Of 1916. Only one
other rye crop haS exceeded the present
prospect and that was In 1922, when,
on an acreage considerably larger,
with q 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 beer larger acreage Of flax
harvested. the present crop Is 80 per
cent OF a normal on July l, compares
with its l0-year average on this date
of 79.2 per cent.
Montana's potato crop, fr,m a July
condition Of 81 per cent OF normal and
an acreage is per cent larger than 1926
is placed at 4,525 900 bushels against the
short production OF 2,975.0 900 bushels last
year. The largest potato crop in the
state was grown in 1922, when production
reached 5,676,O bushels. The 1921
crop wa larger than the present fore
cast.
Montana's bean crop for 1927 is fore
cast at 344 900 bushels compared with
410, 900 bushels in 1926. Acreage Of 1922
crop is about II per cent larger thar
that harvested In 1925.
A tame hay crop of 2.404,0 900 tons Is
forecast for Montana in 1927 compared
with 1868, 900 IONS cut last year. While
alfalfa acreage is slightly larger compared
with 1926. other tame hay, including
grains cut green for hay, will offset the
