BOX CAR SEIZED
BRAKEMAN HELD
(Great Falls Tribune)


Seizure of a Great Northern boz
car in the railway yards at Shell
by, the first case of it's kind in
Montana since the establishment
of the customs department border
patrol more than a year ago, was
announced here Sunday by Gus
toms officers who came to Grea'
Falls to testify at a hearing be
fore Fred Ware, superintendent OF
the Butte division of the road.
H. ]. Putnam, brakeman for
the railway, was arrested for
transporting smuggled goods and
his car also was seized, it was
stated. The arrest and seizures
were made by John H. Morgan
and T. j. Winters, customs patrol
men, who are regularly stationed
at Chester.
According to customs depart
ment reports, a box a containing
16 sacks of Canadian beer left
Sweetgrass on the international
boundary on the morning of Aug.
2 and early the following morn
ing Morgan and Winters arrested
Putnam in the Shelby yards. Sew
eral sacks of beer were found in
his automobile and the remainder
of the shipment was still in the
box car.
The box car was formally seized
several days ago and still remains
in the yards at Shelby. The hear
ing before Superintendent Ware
Sunday was for the purpose OF
making a report on the incident
to officials of the road, it was
stated, and any decision reached
bv them will in no way affect the
case so far as the federal officers
are concerned.
Seizure of the box a was made
possible only because Putnam was
an employee of the railway COM
pany. it was stated Sunday. All
seizures of vehicles alleged to be
used in transporting Struggled
goods are made under the admiral
ty laws of the nation and in order
to effect a seizure it is necessary
that the captain of the vessel
had knowledge that struggled
goods were being carried. In this
case, Putnam, being a regular
member of the crew in charge of
the train and being found at the
car containing the liquor, is re-
garded as the captain.

ANNUAL INSPECTION
REGISTERED FIELDS

Roosevelt county's registered
= seed fields received the annual in
spection by a representative O.
the Montana Seed Growers Sat
urday, August 9Th, when Mr.. Wat
enpaugh of Bozeman made the
rounds of registered fields. Mr.
Watenpaugh recommended that all
fields be passed with exception OF
one in which wild oats were found
mixed with the wheat. In this in
stance the field was recommended
rejected and will probably be so
classed by the directors of the
association.
Varieties Included
The Roosevelt county seed i'm
provement program includes regis
tered Marquis and Supreme spring
wheat, Victory and Markton oats,
Reserve fax, Horn barley and two
growers of Grimm alfalfa. Regis
tered growers are required to keep
their fields free from variety mix
lures and noxious weeds so farm
ers of Roosevelt County may have
desirable foundation stock of re-
commended varieties. Approved
growers of the same varieties r
developing larger seed stocks un-
der careful supervision to permit
general distribution of seed in the
many communities of the county.
The development of proven var
ieties and of seed of improved
strains has been carried on for
the past six years in Roosevelt
county as a part of the Montana
plan of crop improvement. This
plan has been the means of spread
ing seed to practically every farm
er in the county, and has added
very UNNECESSARILY to the wealth
of this section of the state. In
several communities 100 per cent
of the grain is produced from seed
tracing to registered and approved
sources.
Basis of Registration
Registration is based upon free
dom from variety mixtures, noxi-
Gus weeds and other Objectionable
characteristics as determined by
field inspection and by laboratory
test. The test given by Mr.. Wat
enpaugh is but the first step in
registration as no seed can be sold
as registered until the grower has
furnished a peck sample of his
grain for laboratory test and final
approval. Registered seed is then
sold under the tag of the Mon
ana Seed Growers association.
The fact that but one grower
tailed to have all fields pass the
first inspection is a tribute to the
care exercised in seed production
