bachs have been in business in Red.
wood Falls they have watched theil
business grow from just an ordinary
candy store to one of the most modern
and up-to-date places of its kind in
Minnesota.
Early in 1907, the first year in bust
ness, their place was located in the
building now used by the Model Meat
Market. In 1912 the south half OF
the Jaehning Hardware was rented
and new equipment added. Mike and
Joe worked up a business between the
years of 1912 and 1919 that demand
ed new, larger and more modern
quarters so that in 1919 their present
quarters were built. Last season
there was added new complete Frig-
idaire system that insures the right
temperature for all carbonated drinks,
ice cream and ices.
Saturday, April 30th, is the date

TREASURE STATE FARM AND LIVESTOCK
NORTHERN MONTANA CORN
SHOW HELD AIT PLENTYWOOD

tana along the lines of the Extension
Service program in crop Improvement
Each show has shown consistent and
very noticeable improvement over the
preceding one, and in this respect the
exhibit at Plentywood this week is no
exception.
It is evident from the exhibits at the
corn show that corn producJion in north
ern Montana is getting down to safe
and sane" basis. A survey Of northern
Montana will show that corn acreage has
decreased in some sections while 1t has
increased in others; which likely means
that farmers are growing corn where this
crop is found to be particularly adapted,
and in such sections production is in
creasing. Where other feed crops can be
grown more efficiently, corn is being re-
placed by such other feeds.
A study of the exhibit also reveals that
farmers are no longer attempting to
grow the great number Of strains and
varieties that were tried in the early
days of corn production in this part of
the state. It is recognized that only the
earliest maturing types can be depended
on to produce seed, and these types are
receiving the chief attention Of farmers
The history Of each succeeding corn crop
shows also that an ever increasing per-
centage Of the seed used is locally grown
They have given up attempting to trans
plant Iowa methods to northern Montana
and they have given up the 1mportatlor
Of Iowa seed as well.
The pure seed grain exhibits tell 6
similar story Of progress. The varieties
and strains of registered and approved
seed indicates how rapidly farmers have
replaced scrub seed with dependable
kinds.

Seed show is operated by extension

Wheat Kimg Buys
KarmOmt Seed from
HighwOOd Grower

Thomas Campbell of Hardin, largest
wheat grower in the world, this fall
will seed approved KarmOnt winter
wheat raised in the HighWOOd cOun-
try by John 10y. Mr.. 10y shipped a
carload of 1,40O bushels of the seed to
Mr.. Campbell some time ago. The
Hardin wheat king paid $1.2O bushel
for the seed.
MIR. 10y had approximately $4,000 bush
els Of KarmOnt this year, out of a total
wheat crop Of 1880 bushels. This was
perhaps the largest single output of Kar-
mont in the state. OF this amount Mr..
10y disposed of about 1000 bushels for
seed purposes, all Of it having passed
the state approved tests
This fall Mr.. 10y has seeded $50 acres
to Karmont. Adding to this 20 acres
belonging to his father, the Logs have
$40 ceres Of Karmont. The younger Mr.
10y has also planted 10 acres of New
turk, the latest winter wheat variety put
out by the Moccasin experiment station
which also developed Karmont. Newturk
is extremely difficult to obtain, very lit
tie Of it having been grown so far.

Sheep husbandry in Montana began
when Thomas Harris drove some sheep
from California into the Bitter Root
valley in 1857, according to Murray
Stebbins, secretary of the Montana
Wool Growers association. A man
named DObbin is given credit for bring
ing the first breeding ewes into Mon
tana. Mr.. DObbin located in the Deer
Lodge valley shortly after Mr.. Thomas
located in the Bitter Root.
cit is strange to note that the Deer
Lodge Valley was the first place for a
band Of breeding ewes to be located in
Montana" said Mr.. Stebbins, land to-
day, 70 years later, 1t is still the greatest
sheep valley in the state, for in this val
ley we find larger number Of registered
sheep than in any other valley in the
state. In this valley is the famous Will
liams g Pauly ranch, the Deer Lodge
farms, and the world-famous Hampshire
ranch known as Mount Haggin Land and
Livestock company, owned and managed
by DR.. H. G. Gardiner.
"In 1865 the territorial auditor listed
1 .769 head Of sheep for assessment pur-
poses which increased to 4,212 head In
1870 and to 249 ,978 head in 1880, a per-
most nothing in 1865 to 249,976 in 1880

down the Missouri and Mississippi river;
to New Orleans and thence to Boston
Martin T. Grande, living at Lennep
south Of Harlowton, and still operating
large sheep ranch, shipped wool in thi
way when he first started in the buStneS

"By 1890 the sheep population of Mon
tana had grown to 100000 sheep anC
10 years later, 1900, reached the higl
| point Of 6,170,000 head. These 6, 6,170,00
sheep sheared 26,02O,120 pounds of al
average of about four and one-fourtl

the largest wool producing state in tn

No mother in this enlightened age
would give her baby something she did
not know was perfectly harmless, espe-
ciaIly when few drops Of plain Castoria
will right a baby's stomach and end
almost any little Ill. Fretfulness and
fever, too; it seems no time until every
thing is serene.
That's the beauty Of Castoria; its gem
tie influence seems just what is needed.
1t does all that castor oil might accom-
plish, without shock to the system. With
out the evil taste. It's delicious! Being
purely vegetable, you can give it as often
as there's a sign Of collie; Constipation;
diarrhea; or need to aid sound, natural
sleep.
Just one warning: it is genuine Fletch-
er's Castoria that physicians recommend.
Other preparations may be just as free
from all doubtful drugs, but no child
Of this writer's is going to test theml
| Besides, the book on care and feeding
Of babies that comes with Fletchere
Castoria is worth its weight in gold.

HE Northern Montana Corn and Pure
Seed show is being held at Plenty
wood this week (Oct. 26-29) with
all "Highline" counties represented
among the entries. The show strikingly
presents the progress that is being made
in northern Montana in the work OF i'm
proving crops and in the adoption Of
varieties Of grains, grasses and other
crops adapted to the conditions there.
County agents of the Highline counties
are in charge of the educational exhibits
Of the show.
The Northern Montana Corn show was
organized six years ago, the first exhibit
being held at Malta under the direction
OF W. P. Stapleton, then county extension
agent of Phillips county. 1t was started
primarily to illustrate the rapid increase
in corn production and to show what
might be done with adapted varieties
and homegrown seed. Since then the
emphasis of the show has been divided
between corn, small grains and grasses
and the show has grown in size and i'm
pOrtance. With the development Of the
seed potato industry in northern Mon
tana, seed potato exhibits have become
an important feature of the show.
Each of the six exhibits held since
1922 has been a show window Of the
progress Of agriculture in northern Mon

a yearly farm value of but 5000 900 in
1922 to a value Of 81 ,176,000 in 1925. The
decline since then represent an adjust
ment to the outside demand for Mon
tana seed which at the rate Montana
was producing was over supplied. The
1927 crop is expected to move at prices
to growers that will average about the
same as year ago for the Gamers va

AS a step towards getting the sugar
beet industry firmly established in
western Montana, the MlssOuIa cham
ber of commerce is inaugurating an
advertising campaign to interest beet
growers from other sections of. the
country in the new sugar factory there.
The board of directors has established
the Western Montana Land Settlement
bureau Of the chamber of commerce. The
duties Of the board will be to carry on
an extensive advertising campaign for
the chamber Of commerce to help colon
ize the valleys which will produce beets
for the Amalgamated Sugar company.
Advertising Plan
The advertising will be in sections Of
the west where beets are, or have been
raised for factory use, and the commit
tee named to handle the work has start
ed its activities.
The chamber of commerce and real
estate men decided upon the nlan Of ac-
ton to encourage beet growers to come
to their district. It is part Of the united
western Montana effort to aid as far as
possible In getting the acreage Of beets
for the new factory.
| The department will be handled under
the direction Of the publicity committee
Of the chamber of commerce and a COM
mittee named to assist in placing the
advertising.
/ FeaCure Lana values
Cheap land values in the valleys of the
district are to be featured with the pos.
| sibilities Of beet production. It is thu
i belief Of the chamber Of commerce anC
/ real estate men that many experienced
beet growers will be ready to go to
new country to start in the growing o
beets where they will be able to purchas
land at prices which the real estate men
survey shows are reasonable.
Replies from those interested will b
|. available to all real estate agencies O
the Bitter Root and Flathead district
!, and other real estate men of the terri
tory which will produce beetS for tn
} new factory. The listingS will also b
available to the chamber of commerc
organizations and commercial clubs @
the district.
To make the matter clear to the rea
estate men of the district committee

MOntana's seed pea acreage in 1927
was cut nearly in half when growers
made a sharp adjustment to the gen.
eraI conditions of OverprOductiOn af-
fecting the canning pea industry, ac-
cOrding to j. G. Diamond, agricultural
statistiCian, who in a recent survey of
acreage contracted for 1927, found that
houses whose contracts last year rep
resented about 20 per cent of the 1926
acreage had only about half the acre
age signed this year compared with a
year ago.
The decreased acreage this year came
largely in the Gamers varieties Of peas
the garden varieties being reduced but
slightly.
The state-federal estimate of the 1926
crop was $4,000 acres with a production
of $4,000 bushels. For 1927 it is ex.
pected that the state total acreage viii
fall well below $4,000 acres. The yielc
per acre in 1927 has averaged fully al
high to slightly higher than in 1926 anC
with more favorable harvesting anC
threshing conditions, the Gull is expected
to run considerably less than a year ago
An important national factor affecting
the seed pea industry in Montana is th
canner demand for Montana seed. Som
curtailment nationally Of peas cannet
this year, is believed to have beel
/ brought about by Gamers as a resul
Of declining prices since 1924. With
smaller 1927 pack, Gamers would b
able to work off carry-over stocks.
An improvement in the canning end G
the industry this year would probably b
reflected in a better demand for Mon
tAna seed in 1928.

experienced a remarkable growth fror
