RYE ACREAGE TO
Be HEAVY THIS YEAR

Helena: MOntana's 1927 production
of rye will be about 1,632,OOO bush
els according to the forecast released
today by the state division of publ
city cooperating with the federal bu-
reau of crop estimates. This is an
increase of more than twenty per
cent over the 1926 crop which was
1,284,O00 bushels, and an increase of
about "a per cent compared to the 10
years average production of 1,O89,-
600, or the 1925 crop of about 1,OOO,-
900 bushels.
Acreage devoted to rye this year
shows an increase of $1,000 acres,
compared to 1926. In 1926 only 1O7,-
600 acres were harvested and in 1926
only $4,000 acres while this year acre
age grown is placed at 1000.
The forecast indicates an average
yield of 1872 bushels per acre this
season compared to the 12 bushels
average of the 1926 crop. Condition
of the crop on May 1st was 81 per
cent Of normal
eff the present forecast proves
correct in the final revisions, the rye
crop this year will be the third larg-
est in the history of the state" ac-
cording to A. H. Bowman, commits
sioner of agriculture. "Our greatest
acreage was harvested in 1922. The
total was more than 24O,0OO and the
yield 100000 bushels. With lower
market prices the 1923 acreage was
curtailed. Blaine county grows more
rye than any other Montana county.
Last year 10000 acres were harvested
in that county and total production
was 10000 bushels"

FISH TRAPS NEEDED
 DECLARES AUGUST BUSCHMANN, HOUSE
PIONEER cANNERYMAN AND FISHERMAN GIVES HIS VIEWS
 TO THE LEGISLATURE

The salmon canning industry of Southeastern Alaska couldn't operate without traps, it could not get enough
 fish to keep it's plants turning, and even if it could. it couldn't sell the
 fish it packed. This, in so many words, is the conviction of August Buschmann, President of the Deep Sea Salmon Co.,, and part owner ill cannery at Sitka and another at Todd's, on Beril Strait, according to an interview given recently to the Juneau Empire.
 Mir, Buschmann spoke with the weight of experience gained in the canning and fishing industry since 1893, 34 years. He is generally re- garded as one of the most efficient and successful operators in the Ter ritory. He is likewise one of the most popular of the cannerymen, and for years has followed policy of employing all local labor that is pos sible, buying locally of supplies and materials.
 On Stand Long Time
 He appeared before a joint meeting of the: Ways and Means and Fisher ies Committees of the House, and was on the stand for more than two hours, discussing the effects on the salmon packing industry of the pro- posals contained in measures pending before the House for imposing high rates of license taxes on non-resi- 1 dent fishermen and high surtaxes on l trap-caught salmon. These propos- l als are prohibitive. Enacted into the law, the salmon canning industry would be wiped out,' he told the committeeman frankly. He reiterat- ed this statement several times in i answer to questions propounded to him and cited figures relative to op- erating results since 1920 to substan- tiate his contention.
 Average Profit Low
 Some startling figures were quot ed by Mir. Buschmann to show that the industry was not in a highly prosperous condition as has been depicted in some quarters. He re- viewed the returns for the six years past beginning with 1921 and declar- ga the average profit during. that I| -ime had been about one and nine eulHS per cent on the investment The first two years of the period he said, had resulted in an operating oss for the industry. A small pro- 1t was shown in 1923. In 1924, the lVerage profit was 4.5 per cent. Last ear it jumped to 6-55 per cent and arried the average for the six-year eriod to almost two per cent. And. e pointed out, these profits were a1culated under the Territorial law mich does not permit any deduction or State Federal or Municipal taxes. r for interest on bonds or borrowed loney.
 Increase in Cost

Miller. 1t is a story of a subway
guard who has worked every night
for three years and then had all his

The story of "The Blonde Saint" is
absorbing. although it borders on the
melodramatic. Picturesque scenese on
a lonely island add color to the theme
that Of the young girl who is carried
off by a desperate lover and held
captive until she realizes her love for
him pust as he is about to return her
to her fiance because she has de-
clared she would never care for him.
Doris Kenyon is beautiful in the role
of the Saint a society girl with
ideals which have earned for her
this nickname. But she often over
acts her part. spelling the effective
ness of her biggest scenes.
Lewis Stone, as always, Is the suaye
man of the world and a convincing
lover. He Is cast as a popular author
whose vivid past stands between him
and the girl he loves. The principals
are supported by we'll selected cast,
including Cesare Gravina, Anna Rork,

LITTLE NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS."

The Little Theater screens another
unusual picture this week, Nazimova
appearing as the little Roman tiapper
in "Salome," a film adaptation from
the play by Oscar Wilde.
The entire presentation is impress
sionistic, although not futuristic. The
settings and costumes were designed
by Natacha Rambova. AS far as
memories Of the picture carried away
are concerned, there were just three
members of the cast and the curly
heads of two others. Nigel de Brulier

is, is everything that ont learned him
to be in Sunday school.
One of the most remarkable travel
pictures in recent months is being
shown this week. 1t is record Of
the Frank Hurley expedition by boat
and air into the heart of British New
Guinea several months ago. It shows
life among real headhunters and can
nibals and ends with the photogra-
piers actually stumbling on a group
of cannibal high priests at feast.
The tribe at the moment went into an
uproar and a member of the expedi-
tion safely aboard the ship was able
to take pictures of the flight amid a
volley Of poisoned arrows.
"A Feud in the Kentucky Hills" is
billed as Mary Pickford picture of
1910. The overture by the Little
Theater Trio is in keeping with the
spirit of the main features and a news
reel completes the bill.

KEITH'S-Irene BordOni.

The popular French comedienne,
Irene Bordoni, is heading a good bill at
Keith's this week, her reception last
night by the large audience being very
cordial. Miss Bordonis program en-
braces French and Spanish song char
acterizations. and the drug victim skit
was something of revelation on ac-
count of the pathos put into the part
by Miss Bordoni, who has been classed
chiefly as a comedienne. Her Ameri-
can songs, of course, were very good,
embracing as they do hits from the
different plays in which she has
starred for the past five years. A
score of calls brought Miss Bordoni
before the curtain, and her speech of
thanks was almost as big hit as her
songs.
Bert Lahr was certainly the "life
of the party" last night, as he scored
a hit in his speciality with Mercedes
and then did the major part of the
work in exploiting 'Jeanie," a pretty
child. in a sketch, Just Sweet
Child" which closed the program.
Bert takes the part of a German po-
liceman with funny dialect and
voice, and he kept the audience
screaming while he was on the stage.
He and Mercedes put over their act
with plenty of speed. and they worked
with Harry and Harriet Setback and
the little girl in the closing number.
Madeline Patrice sang well and
played the violin better, her reception
being most hearty. The punching bag
turn of the Seebacks also recorded
hit. Olivette Haynes and Fred Beck
have considerable foolishness to offer
and get away with it in good style.
Henri Garden, the popular operate
tenor, was given splendid reception,
being in good voice and singing selec-
tions that pleased The regular house
attractions filled in the few vacant
spaces
