(From Montana State College,

MORE than is. 900 samples OF Montana
wheat were tested for protein In the
4iA 10 state laboratories and by labor
atories in Minneapolis during the past
season. showing and average Of 1871 per
cent protein for the crop Of the state.
according to a summary by Clyde Nc
Kee, head of the agronomy department
at Montana State college.
The testing report Of the past season
indicates that farmers are concerning
themselves more and more with the quail
ity of grain before selling. In 1898 there
were only 1922 tests made on the wheat
Of the state. the next year there were
1884 tests, in 1926 the number increased
to TO- 0l and in 1927 the protein tests
numbered is 1895.
The 1871 per cent average protein con
tent as disclosed by the tests last year.
is lower than for any OF the past five
years for which figures are available. In
1923 the average WAS 1912 per cent, the
next year 1t WAS Is. SIS per cent. 1t jumped
to 1929 per cent in 1925 and then down
to IS 81 per cent In 1876. The average
for the ive-year period, including last
year. was l3.4l per cent.
In explaining variations in protein
content from year to year MIR. Mckee
says:
The protein content of wheat is in
huenced chiefly by the amount Of nitro
gen which is available for the use Of the
growing crop. Therefore. factors which
affect the supply Of available nitrogen in
the soil have a rather direct influence
on the protein content Of the wheat.
Excessive rains during the spring
months of 1927 accompanied by rather
cool temperatures not only WASHED out
of the soils some OF the available nitro
gen., but retarded the action of bacteria
which aid in nitrate formation. thus re-
sulting in a low average protein content
for the state as a whole. However. there
is some variation In the protein content
Of the state as a whole. This suggests
that the protein content may be affected
by other factors than seasonal conditions.
For example, the process Of summer
tillage or following" increases the avail
ability of nitrogen to such an extent that
1t is now generally known that wheat
produced after fallow will contain more
protein than wheat from land that has
been cropped the preceding season, other
conditions being the same. Likewise.

dance of organic matter usually produces
wheat with a higher protein content than
soils in which the supply of organic or

The experience of the past few years
indicates that farmers who employ Inn

ones who profit most by the premiums

Donald f. Harbisor., forester in
charge of timber activities on the
Tongue River Indian reservation, has
reopened the government saw mill,
closed since Oct. l because of cold
weather II heavy snow on the divide.
The mill Is now at the head of Soldier
gulch, eight miles southwest of Lame
Deer.
According to Mr.. Harbison's estimates,
there are about 300, 900 feet of logs now
ready to be sawed on the reservation.
Mr.. Harrison expects that these logs will
keep the mill running until next fall.
The saving operations are carried on by
Indians owning the logs as spare time
work in connection with farming and
livestock activities. Saving is usually
suspended during the spring, when the
Indians are busy with farm work, and
again during the threshing season, when
the mill engine is used to run one OF the
government threshing rigs on the reser-
Walton.
The Northern Cheyenne Indians have
for two years been cutting logs to make
lumber for their homes, which they were
building on the strength of receiving al
lotments from the government. Saw mills
on the reservation have been unable to
handle the large quantity of logs cut,
with the result that last December an

o. the reservation until the present sup
ply is sawed.
The mill is capable of handling from
5000 to 5000 feet a day. Mr.. HARRISON
expects that 1t will be necessary to make
seven sets to saw logs already down. The
present location of the mill will be ac-
cessible to about 35 900 feet Of lumber.
Some Of the sets will I'll as high as
800, 900 feet.
In addition to the saving program be-
fore him, Mr.. HARRISON expects to gather
data during the coming season for work
ing out a timber management plan for
the Tongue river side Of the reservation.
Such a plan would call for surveying,
classification, cruising, Typographical
mapping and a growth study to deter
mine cutting cycles to be used in log
ging off the eastern part Of the reserva-
ton.
Mr.. HARRISON believes that such a plan
would facilitate the sale Of timber In
| case the north and south railroad along
| Tongue river is built within the next few
years. He expects that timber belonging
to the North Cheyenne Indians will in
crease greatly in value and that markets
will be opened up with construction OF
such a road.
At least two-thirds of the $50, 900 900
feet of merchantable timber on the res
ervation would be easily accessible to the
north and south railroad, according to
Mr.. HARRISON, and should attract lum-
boring interests.

MOURN FOR I
LANSING

The official and diplomatic world
of Washington today mourned the
passing OF Robert Lansing, for
many years one OF its most distin-
glished figures and who was Secre-
tary Of state under Woodrow
Wilson.
Funeral services are to be held
here tomorrow at 4 p. m. and the
body Is to be taken to his family
home, Watertown, N. T., for burial.
The death of Mr.. Lansing came
suddenly yesterday afternoon at his
home, 1923 Eighteenth st. N. w.
He had been suffering from heart
attack for q week, but it was not re-
garded as dangerous.
Wife at Bedside
At his bedside were his wife and
his two sisters, Miss Emma s..
Lansing and Miss Katherine Ten
Eyck Lansing, and DR.. Sterling Ruff
fin, his physician. He was 81 years
old.
The President and Mrs. Coolidge,
Secretary of State Kellogg, Herbert
Hoover, the Chinese minister, DIR.
SZe. and scores Of other statesmen at
home and abroad sent condolences
to the Lansing home today.
Since his rupture with President
Wilson in 1920. Mr.. Lansing had
been practicing international law
here with his former private secre-
tary, Lester Woolsey, as a partner.
He was legal adviser to the Chinese
legation here and had many other
clients in the Latin-American field.
The former diplomat became
counselor of the State Department
in 1914 and succeeded to the post
of Secretary of State when William
Jennings Bryan resigned as the re-
suit of a disa greement with Presi-
dent Wilson over the third Lusi-
tania note. In the two years that
followed he passed through a criti-
cal and stormy period, with the
United States trying to uphold neu-
trail rights against both Germany
and the Allied powers.
Breaks With Wilson
Mr.. Lansing originated the policy
of maintaining the rights OF Amer
lean merchantmen against sub
marine warfare which resulted in
the United States declaring war on
Germany in April, 1917.

FOR THRILL

By international News Service

ATLANTA. Ca. Oct. 31.-Evi-
dence tending to connect other
youths with the daring escapades of
George Harsh and Richard Gallogly,
alleged ''thriII'' slayers, probably
will be used to strengthen the cases
against the two college boys, it was
disclosed today.
This new line of investigation was
revealed as detectives and members
of Solicitor General John A. Boy
kin's staff moved swiftly in their
preparations for the trial OF the
youths, tentatively set for Novem.
ber Is.
Police declared they learned that
third youth often accompanied Harsh
and Gallogly, scions Of wealthy and
aristocratic families, on their des-
perate hold-ups. Asserting the guilt
Of this youth was less than that of
the two stud~nts under indictment,
police did not plan to prosecute him.
Other Boys Connected
Several other boys who have been
somewhat connected with the alleged
operations of Harsh and Gallogly
but who are not regarded as guilty
in view of circumstances, will be
used to tighten the Harsh Gallogly
cases, police detectives said.
Almost simultaneously with these
developments came the definite spik-
ing of a report that Clarence Dar-
row, the famous Chicago criminal
Ia wyer, would be retained to defend
one or both Of the alleged slayers.
Persons close to the two families
said they entertained no thought of
calling in Darrow.
A perfect case" has been built up
against Harsh and Gallogly, prosecu-
tors announced today.
Defense counsel indicated today
they would seek separate trials for
the pair. Should this be allowed
the State plans to put Harsh on
trial first, because they believe they
have a stronger case against him.
Harsh confessed, police said, to kill
ing two store clerks during a series
of hoIdups and implicated Gallogly.
In reply to queries, police said
they have made no attempt to con-
meet Harsh with a daring holdup
and murder in Milwaukee.
Spent Vacations There
Detective Chief A. Lamar Poole
said today he would not question
Harsh about the Mussweiler murder
until he was asked to do so by
Milwaukee police, who, according
to reports, are trying to connect
him with the fatal shooting.
1t was stated by authorities here
that Harsh, who spends his vaca-
tions with his widowed mother near
Milwaukee, was in the Wisconsin
city during September, the month
OF the killing of Emil Mussweiler
and that the gun purported to have
been used in the series OF Atlanta
crimes was brought here from that
place.
