ceiyed Of disorderly coaiuct there.

ment Of the monument of Washington

ton over this reservation was ceded
to the United States by an act of the
Virginia Legislature April 81, 1882.

SCHNITZLER'S WHEAT
CROP $4,000 BUSHELS

State Senator j. w. Schnitzler of
Froid, Montana, recently was a Wis
itor in Butte and stated that he
had harvested crop of $4,000 bu.
of spring wheat from 5000 acres
in Roosevelt county. The senator
further stated that the farmers of
Montana, this year, will earn more
than enough to pay every debt
they owe. Being of modern
turn of mind the senator uses a
Ryan monoplane to carry on his
business and frequently takes trips
to marketing points, such as Min
neapolis. Paradox as it may be,
he is frequently up in the air, but
manages to keep both feet on the
ground and next to Thomas D.
Campbell produces the largest
wheat crop in the state Montana

NORTH FARMERS NEED
100 THRESHINC HANDS

Farmers and threshermen, es-
pecially those north of the river,
are in urgent need of men to fill
out threshing crews. Bundle rigs
and trucks are also in strong de-
mand. F. B. Turner, who conducts
a free employment bureau at the
Oxford billiard parlors, says that
he has daily calls for 20 men or
more. One hundred men could be
used, he says. Some threshing rigs
have been compelled to lay up for
lack of crews.
The rains of last week stopped
harvesting and threshing operations
for several days and the transient
help drifted north and west, and
this has left a rather serious short
age here, to help to complete the
work of shock and stack threshing
and trucking the grain to market.

RYE-FREE WINTER SEED
WHEAT In BIG DEMAND

The frequent requests coming
to the county extension office for
winter wheat which is free from
rye indicate that there is a great
need for wheat of this quality,
rye being unusually common in
the winter wheat fields this year.
Rye-free winter wheat is apparent
ly very scarce and with the present
demand will soon all be picked up.
The extension office does not have
record of many fields known to be
free from grain mixtures and will
appreciate information of this
kind
