PURE ALFALFA
SEED INCREASES
(From Montana State College,

tfioht hoituftb ptatC SOiSRNt
THERE Will be more than 10000 acres
of alfalfa seed inspected for registra-
4 ton by the Montana Seed Growers
association. This will be a gain Of ap-
p~roximately 5000 acres over last year. In
addition there will be approximately 285
growers of certified small grain seed and
from 900 to 1000 growers of approved
seed. The number of certified grain
growers is somewhat less thar last year
but the number Of approved growers has
increased about one-third.
The decrease in the number OF grow
ers OF certified seed grain Is largely ac-
counted for by the dry weather during
the early part OF the season. says Mr..
Kurtz. Growers held back their appli-
cations and fees for inspections because
of the u~nfavorable outlook. With the
coming of rain and improved growing
conditions many belated applications
we're received and 1t is expected that
many more will be in before inspection
work starts this month. The fact that
growers are sending in applications this
late in the season and are willing to pay
delinquent application fees is a striking
indication of the remarkable change in
crop outlook that has come In Montana
In recent weeks. says Mr. Kurtz.
Alfalfa seed inspection worA in the
state already has started with two in
spectors in eastern n and one In north
ern Montana at the present time. In
spections for certified small groin will
start about July l6, Mr.. Kurtz advises,
Growers who still desire to apply for In
spection are urged to do SO at once.
Alfalfa seed growers who are planning
to harvest their seed on the second cut
ting are urged to make the first cutting
at once. Holding off the first cutting
delays the crop n increases the posi-
bility of frost damage later In the season.

to each miner. In obtaining new points
he must account for the old ones so that
there is no loss of steel through waste
or negligence.
A further point of excellence is due to
the higher quality of steel used and the
better and more durable cutting edge.
On tests at the st. Lawrence mine the
Hawkesworth drill point showed more
than double the speed of the ordinary
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS drill points.
The Butte factory was started in 1925.
There has never been o time since the
date 1t cast its first git, that 1t has been
able to meet Its orders. Demands for
the Hawkesworth bit, which had not
been advertised, except by means Of a
few news articles. came in fro mall parts
Of the globe where white men are en-
gagged In mining. More than 800 foreign
orders-Africa. India, Australia, Mexico
and Canada-stand untitled on the COM
pany books.
There Is strong intimation from the
Hawkesworth company officials that the
new factories will be equipped not only
to tai care of present business, but to
meet an anticipated greatly increased de-
mand for the unique bit Of steel that
may in many instances spell the differ
nee between success and failure for
many struggling mining companies.

SNIT TIL ANGLES
FOR The new
VOTER
By RAYMOND 1. BORST
international News service

ALBANY, n. r.. Sept Gov.
al smith il counting on the votes
Ok the young folks in the coming
presidential election, friends Of the.
nominee said today. by.
There will be thousands OF young,
men and young women, particular iN
in the more densely populated East,
erm states, who will. cast their first
vote at the November election, and
Smith viii make q direct bid for
their ballots.
Democratic leaders are firmly con-
WINGED that Smith strongly appeals
t. the new votes because OF his
personality. his rise from Ilewsboy
10 governor. and his straight from
fhe-shonlder method in dealing with
campaign issues.
New Youth Interested
They believe that the young
people OF America are far more i'm
ferested In politics than were the
youth Of a generation ago and they
ADMIRE a man who strikes back
hard when he is attacked.
In his speech accepting the presi-
Dental nomination, Smith said, in
50 many words. that he was OPP
posed to accepting the old order Of
things unless it was proved that
new methods were not better. The
i Cove and the Democratic
leaders are said to believe that this
just about sums up the attitude
taken by the young people OF the
country.
IL was not until after scores of
letters had been received by Gov
ernor Smith from new voters in all
parts OF the country, announcing
that they intended to support him.
that the Democratic leaders began
70 give serious thought as to what
this vote might mean to any candi-
date on election day. The more the
leaders thought about it the more
they became convinced that there
was a field Of golden opportunity
for Smith and they have set out TO
capture this vote for him.
Campaign literature is being pre-
pared setting forth Smiths political
career In a way which the leaders
hope will make an appeal 10 the
new voters. In the heavily popula-
ted Eastern States, where the Gov
ernor will wage a greater part Of
his campaign his managers are CON
WINGED he will draw heavily on the
new vote.
VIII Take Rest
With only a few games Of golf
on his schedule, the Governor will
spend a quiet weekend and Labor
Day at the executive mansion. VII.
liam +. Kenny. or New York, and.
a few other of Smiths close friends
are expected at the mansion today
to remain over the holiday.
~ am going to get a real rest
over the weekend and there won't
bs any news here for you fellows,
smith gOod-naturedly told reporters
; A moment later he added, 9 II you
really must have story Monday
maybe ] can arrange to have one
of the rabbits bite me-" B%t
Among the many animals in the
Governors private 400 in the rear
81 the executive mansion are a half.
dozen Belgian hares.
Next week Smith win clean up
eone pending State business and
announce his campaign itinerary.
