ANOTHER Boxing
CARD APRIL 18th
WOmack VIII Meet DOzart in
Ten-rOund Headline Bout
at Manhattan

Another of the always-popular box
ing cards will be staged in the Com
munity hall at Manhattan Thursday,
April Ia, with Emmett Womack, the
Ennis 'bearcat", and Jim Dozart, the
Sheridan, Wyo., battler, scheduled
for a 10-round headline bout.
Arrangements are now being made
for a semi-final and several good pre-
liminary goes. Womack, it is said,
will bring with him three fighters in
whom he is interested and these will
be matched with suitable opponents,
Bozeman or Gallatin valley boys If
possible. It is asserted that the
series of bouts will constitute one OF
the best cards ever shown here.
After Womack was defeated by
frankie Wine of Roundup at Manhat-
tan last fall, it was presumed thai
he had retired from the ring. Wo-
mack, however, was not entirely sat-
isfied with the result Of the battle
for he had given Wine one of the
hardest fights of his career. So he
now offers to fight Dozart who, while
we'll along in years, is a veteran Of
the ring and who once fought Wine
to draw in a battle that nearly re.
suited in defeat for the Roundup
man.
If WOmack defeats Dozart, it is
said, he plans later 20 ask another
match with Wine; that is, if he is sat-
isfied with his condition after two
or three preliminary scraps. Gala
tin valley fans would be glad to see
the two in action again, although
many have doubts of Womack's abil-
ity to put away the Roundup battler
who is developing into a dangerous
opponent for any man in his class.

Canyon. They took the stub as far
as Mount Ellis and from there walk
ed up the canyon. After eating
lunch at logger's cabin, they start
ed for home at o'clock. The mud
was deep and their progress was
slow. It was dark when they reached
the auto road at Mount Ellis, and
this they followed Tor some time in
the hope that they would catch ride
into BOzeman.
After one car had passed without
offering to pick them up, they took
to the Northern Pacific tracks. AS
they neared the city, CHM complained
of being tired and hungry, and stop
ped frequently to rest. Pratt, being
lightly clad, was chilled and impa-
tient to get home, so finally CHM
told him to leave him. Not realiz-
ing how exhausted CHM was, Pratt
departed.
From then on CHM remembers lit
tie except that he crossed from the
N. P. tracks to those of the Mil
waukee and while at the top of the
east side embankment stumbled over
something and fell headlong 80 or 40
feet. When. he was found Monday
morning he was lying upon his face
at the. foot of the embankment. The
authorities were notified, an ambu-
lance obtained and CHM was rushed
to the hospital, where it was found
that he had suffered no broken bones
but had been severely bruised, and
greatly weakened by his long expo

Late reports are that he is gaining
strength rapidly. md soon will be

ten years in case Of winter wheat,
present intentions Of Montana farm
ers with respect to spring wheat
would give a total wheat acreage in
1927 Of 3,64e,OOO acres compared
with 3,595,OO0 acres in 1926 and g.
25Q, 900 acres in 1925.
Flax Profitable
In case Of flax the United States
consumption Of linseed oil may de-
crease somewhat in 1927, but REQUIRE
ments for flax for all purposes are
something near 100000 bushels
compared with the 1925 production of
! 19, ,459,OOO bushels. Even with an
other large Argentine crop now BEING
harvested, prices for flax in 1927
may be expected to continue as good
as IN 1925, in which case flax NAV
be more profitable on good lands than
other spring grains. Montana farm
ers intentions to increase flax acre
age would appear to be well taken.
Both oats and barley are grown in
Montana chiefly as farm feed and
such expansion Of acreage as needed
for adequate farm feed supplies would
be justified. However, as cash crops.
neither would appear to offer Mon
tana producers as good returns as in
1926, especially if production outside
Of Montana should be increased. Bar
ley, where grown for feeding in the
state as a whole in the past three
years.. has averaged a relatively bet
ter acreage return than oats in the
state average.
Montana farmers intention in

ranted from the standpoint of the
outlook for corn as a cash crop,
would still not result in as large a
corn acreage as in 1924, since which
time there has been substantial. re-
duction.
The Bean Outlook
Montana farmers indications to
increase bean acreage 10 per cent
fortunately combine with a contem-
plated reduction in the important
bean states of about 1873 per cent.
National production of beans during
the past three years has been aver
aging several million bushels above
consumptive requirements, though
surpluses varying with the various
types Of beans. During this time the
Great Northern bean has been alb
sorbed at fairly good market prices.
If present national intentions with
respect to bean acreage should be
carried out, some improvement in
the bean outlook would result. How
ever, Montana farmers should bear
