More and more freight is NOV

MONTANA AGRICULTURAL
SITUATION AT A GLANCE
Crop Production

Shows a steady tendency to increase and diversity. Expansion Of
acreage on the whole has been conservative and more efficiency is
observable.
Livestock Production
The cattle industry has turned the corner of the postwar depres-
sion. Debt pressure has been greatly reduced. Credit facilities have
improved. Both immediate and future outlooks are favorable. The
sheep industry is on a sound financial basis and the outlook is good
although more conservative than during past three years. The hog
industry has reacted from the expansion of 1924 and 1925 and appar-
emily now is ready for some further expansion with the Immediate
outlook good. The dairy industry has been growing steadily and has
been fairly profitable.
Financial Condition
There has been considerable liquidation of war time Indebtedness.
Credit is now based On low security valuations for the whole agricul
tura industry and OF this basis bankers state that they are prepared
to take caeo of all necessary loans. Bank deposits have shown steady
increases in past three years.
Production Costs
Some items of production costs have come down including farm
taxes and farm labor costs. Efficiency in production on the whole
shows some tendency to increase.
Farm immigration
Relatively low present prices of farm lands in Montana, and large
reserve of undeveloped farm lands, all point to a steady future growth
in the number of Montana farms.

WHEAT GROWERS
ELECTION, 10TH
BIRD PAYMENT TO POOLERS
NEXT WEEk-THE START
OF PROTEIN PAY

The North Dakota Wheat Grow
ers association will make their
third payment next week, which
amounts to $4,000, 100000 to the
Montana and North Dakota mem
bers. The final payment for the
current year and also the prem
ium. will be made as Don as the
small amounts less than a car load
in the local elevators all over the
two states, are shipped with the
new crop.
Montana is entitled to two direc-
tors in the organization. Poplar
is the center of this, the eastern
district and the election will be
held there Tuesday, July 10, from
one to five p. m. There is no
avowed candidate, yet the neigh
bors of Geo. c. Beck, living across
the river south of Wolf Point, are
urging his election. The mem
bers vote by mail or in person,
yet proxy voting is not allowed.
DR.. Laid Started Something
The organization makes the
claims that the "Poolers" COM
PEELED the payment of the prem
iums for the high protein. Their
basis for this claim is:
First, DR.. Laid, chemist of the
state of North Dakota showed ten
years before any premiums were
ever paid that the most valuable
part or quality of the wheat was
the protein. He even went so far
as to say that "a low grade hav-
ing a high protein made better and
more bread than a high grade
with a low protein" This claim
was met with a laugh and ridicule
until the poolers collected and
paid for the premiums.
Second, the organization holds
evidence over the signature of an
official of the Minneapolis Cham
Der of Commerce that the Grain
Commission houses are financial
ly interested in the big milling in
terest, hence it would not be rea-
sonable to suppose that grain COM
mission dealers would gouge their.
own purse as stockholders in the
flour mills, by making the millers
pay for premiums unless compell-
ed by some other competition to
do so.
Fairness In Montana
The Organization department
reports very satisfactory progress
in Montana in the line of new
membership as well as loyalty.
While the Federal Trade commits
sion, very quietly, yet effectively
e~nforces the law against undue or
unfair competition, and stepped in
to punish several cases in North
Dakota and Minnesota, where
some financial institutions repeat
I'd and proclaimed injurious
statements, and while the Depart
nent has prOffered its willingness
n any case that may arise in
Montana, yet the organization has
lot considered any case of unfair
actics in this state serious
nough to report it. That speaks
yell for Montana.

(By Verna Winship, Wolf Point
I've been back east, I've Deen our west,
But Old Montana looks the best.
We have beautiful sunsets, and plenty Of rain
To grow big taters and lots of grain.
We raise horses, cattle, hogs and sheep,
We are buying our farms while land is cheap.
Now harken you renters, both east and west,
Come get a farm and join the rest.
The money you pay for rent each year
VIII buy a quarter section here.

We are known all over as the Treasure State"
We've stepped to the front right smart of late
We have the richest hill on earth,
Near Butte, it stands where it grew from birth.
We have beautiful cities and snow capped peaks,
Rich fertile valleys, wide rivers and creeks.

We have the coal and the best of soil.

She's full of pep, as you can see.

LOMSKI WHIPS
OLD M'TICUE
In HARD BOUT
Pride of Erin is Re-
scued From Knock
out BY Bell AS OPP
ponent Bores In

NEW YORK. Feb. 4.-(P)-Rugged
Leo Lomski has sent the title aspira-
tions of Michael Francis McTigue
spinning out Of the pugilistic
sphere.
Meeting over the ten round dis
lance in Madison Square Garden last
night, Lomski severely punished the
: pride of Erin who held on to the
last bell through a stout heart and
valiant courage.
McTigue's experience in some $50
battles failed to stop the reckless
abandon of Lomski's flying fists
which whipped tirelessly to the
Celt's head and body.
With a barrage of powerful body
smashes, the Aberdeen, Wash, box
er was on the verge Of q knockout
victory on several occasions but the
bell was q life saver for Mike.
Lomski was the aggressor all the
way while McTigue appeared con-
tent TO use his wiles to carry him
through. Mike, who twice was
crowned champion Of the light
heavyweight ranks, beat a hasty re-
treat before Lomski's advances in
the first three rounds.
AS the crowd booed d~ispleasure Of
these tactics in the fourth round,
McTigue cut loose with rights to
the head which opened an old wound
over Lomski's left eye. Lomski kept
pressing his rival, however, and in a
mix-up at close quarters had Nc
Tigue faltering badly at the round
ended.
In the fifth stanza, Lomski show
cred McTigue's head with lefts and
rights, ripping a cut on the forehead
and over Mixes left eye. Lomski
bored in unflinckingly and ran
amuck Of McTigue's left which rip.
ped a cut an inch long under the
Aberdeen battler's right eve.
The coast fighter forced a hard
pace in the sixth receiving stubborn
resistance from his opponent. Nc
Tigue with his 80 or more years
tumbling heavily about his shoul-
ders, crumbled under a heavy as
sault in the seventh and continued
to stagger in the next round.
McTigue enjoyed a brief rally in
the ninth but was unable to match
the speed Of his younger foeman.
Lomski forced McTigue 10 retreat
before q hard two-fisted lombard
ment in the tenth. Lomski weighed
10 l-2 pounds, McTigue 173 1-2.
A crowd of 1900 paid S40,l5S to
see the card.

When il TO heavyweight
boxers the Irish rule the roost-at
least the Irish names do.
Let the Sokoloffs lead their or
ehestras and and the MacEoronis
tend their fruit stands, the Tunneys
and Heeneys will continue to take
care Of the fight business, thank
you.
Since the days Of John L. Sullivan,
the Boston bad boy, the Irish have
meant a great deal in the mitt mer-
~chandising business. A man isn't
necessarily a big bruiser because he
IS q Byrne or an 0'Brien, but the
name helps.
The American fight fan clings
tightly to his tradition that a Mick
is always a mauler. There is only
one other tradition closer TO the
heart Of the fight fan. and that Is his
belief that all big bouts are really
"in the bag"
Fight managers. despite their
gala attire and uncouth ways, are
astute business men. II the fans
want 1rishers they get them. Let
Abe Apfelbaum bounce his way into
the big rings and he becomes Hard
Boiled Hooligan. Scratch X. o. Nc
Puff and you'll probably find a
Polack.
The heavyweight situation today
resembles, in names. a county cleo
tion in ireland. The six most-msn-
toned big boys have names that
bear the stamp Of Dublin and the
sweet odor Of the hills of County
Kerry.
There's Gene Tunney, the champ,
and Jack Dempsey, the eX and the
almost-title holder. There Is Tom
Heeney and Jack Sharkey and Jack
Delaney and George Godfrey, who il
the latest brown panther from Penn
sylvanis.
Everyone with an Irish name, but
are they Irish? Only three, and
they by descent. The other trio are
as far from being Irish as a pro-
hibition agent is from popularity.
Gene Tunney is an Irish-American.
Dempsey Is of Scotch-Irish blood.
Heeney is Irish BY way of Aus
~tralia.
Jack sharkey Cnee Paul Cukoshay)
il a Lithuanian, while Jack Delaney
(born Chapdelaine) is a French Ca
madam with a current home IN

George Godfrey is a negro.
Each has an Fey" on the end OF
his name. This may mean nothing
and have no effect or their fight
careers. but il is q strange colnci-
6ence that happens six times.
