DEMONSTRATION
ATTRACTS MANY
800 FARMERS COME FROM A
WIDE RADIUS TO SEE HAIR
VESTNG SHOW

About 300 farmers attended the
demonstration Monday and Tuesday
of windrowing and windrow pick
up combine attachments that were
held at the Fairway farms north of
Brockton under the direction of M
l.. Wilson of the extension service.
On Monday there were about 200
present, fifty coming from Daniels
and about an equal number from
Sheridan, Roosevelt, Richland and
McCone counties making up the
balance. On Tuesday about 100
farmers attended, headed by a large
delegation from Prairie county. Sev-
cral come from North Dakota and
others represented Roosevelt, Sher
idan and McCone counties.
J. C. Taylor, director of the state
extension service, assisted Mr.. Will
son. Mr.. Taylor was in Wolf Point
Tuesday evening and told of the
demonstration. Besides the combine
attachments which were shown in
operation, various other kinds of
machinery were demonstrated. There
was the driverless tractor which is
guided by a spoon arrangement that
runs along in the furrow. If for
any reason this spoon gets out of
the furrow the tractor stops auto
matically. Another thing shown was
three duckfOot cultivators drawn by
a tractor cultivating a swath 33
feet wide, covering ten acres an hour.
The windrowing attachment to
the combine lays the grain in wind
rows with the heads at the top of
the heap so that they may dry out
thoroughly before being threshcd.
Then later the combine can go over
the same ground and with the pick
up attachment will gather up the
grain and thresh it out These at
tachments are made in different sizes
ranging in width from - to 20 feet.
Mr.. Wilson explained the use of
headers and header bargcs. and
pointed out the importance of pay
ing special attention to the method
of harvesting grains, particularly in
a year like this one when the grain
is ripening unevenly Where the
grain is thoroughly dry the combine
works satisfactorily, but if the field
is spotted and part of the grain IS
green it is better to use the wind
rowers or header barge or to harvest
with binders, the method used de-
pending upon the condition of the
grain.
The Fairways farm comprises four
sections, and is state college ex-
pertinent farm, used as place to try
out various kinds of machinery with
view to finding out what particular
make or style is best adapted to
farming under given conditions.

NORTHERN COOPERATE
ON PROJECT

Wolf Point is to be one of the
stops made by the special live
stock and feed exhibition train
which will be taken through
northern Montana in October. The
tentative date for the stop here
is October II. E. B. Duncan, ag-
ricultural development agent of
the Great Northern, and j. c. Tay-
lor. director of the State College
extension service and A. w. War
den, county agent, were in Wolf
Point Tuesday evening and put
the matter before the Commercial
club. Members of the club pres
ent at this meeting were unani-
mously of the opinion that the
stopping of this special train in
October would be an excellent op-
portunity for stockmen and others
to learn of the hest types of stock
and the best feeds and forage for
this section of the state.
Need improved Types
In his talk, Mr.. Taylor hid that
in these years of 35 bush | heat
crops. there was temptation to
get away from stock raising and
to forget that over long period
of years, diversified farming is the
kind that pays out best. He said

SMALL MARGINS
(Circle Banner)

Nearly 1000 people turned out
to vote in McCone county, at last
Tuesdays primary election, out OF
1917 that were registered, which
was an unusually good vote, and
showed that our citizens take an
active interest in our public af-
fairs. Of the 1917 registered there
are perhaps only 1900 actual vot-
ers residing here, which gives a
good percentage.
There developed to be many
close races in the county for the
county offices.
The hottest fight was for coUn-
ty commissioner, with Conklin
coming out ahead by three votes
according to the unofficial returns
It was three cornered fight be-
tween Conklin. Horsford and Reed
with the edge really in favor OF
Horsford. as the OPPOSITION votes
were split between Conklin and
Reed. but in spite of that Conklin
came out a winner
Haoestad for Representative
The next closest contest was for
State Senator in which Jas. Craw-
ford came out ahead by 19 votes.
Race for State Representative re-
suited in Ray Hagestad winning
by 80 votes.
Olaf WahI, our assessor, came
out on top, winning by AZ votes.

AHEAD LAST YEAR
BANK DEPOSITS SHOW BIGGEST
GAIN OF ANY YEAR
SINCE '22

HELENA, July 22.-Evidence of
Montana's financial prosperity was
Saturday revealed in the June 80
statement of the state banking de-
partment, which shows that de
posits increased over 100000
during the year; cash resources
S2,500,000, and bonds and securi
ties owned, more than S3,000,000
Although the number of state
and private banks in Montana de-
clined from 1876 on June 80, 1927
to 1872 on June 80 this year, there
is large increase in all bank re-
sources, declared George NJ. Rob
ertson, deputy state examiner and
superintendent of banks.
During the year ending June
80, 1923. these 130 state and two
private banks increased their sur
plus accounts and undivided prof
its over 100000, while borrowed
money decreased more than S450,
900 from the amount year ago,
said Mr. Robertson
"This," he added, 'is the largest
gain in deposits n any one year
recorded in the last six years.
While deposits have steadily in
creased since 1924, this is by far
the largest gain shown in any like
period since that time. Total de-
posits of state and private banks |
on June 80, 1924. as shown by rec
ords in our office, amounted to !
S,2S5.347 and on June 80, 1928,
had climbed to SS2,32O,O9S, or a
gain in four years of more than
$24,000,00O"
Mr.. Robertson said this inn
proved financial showing was
statewide and "can be attributed !
to better crops and generally i'm
proved economic conditions"

Lustre Saengerfest
Enjoyed Last Sunday

A very complete report of the un-
tied sacngerfcst that was held in the
Brudcrthaler church at Lustre, was
prepared by j. c. Wall, chairman. of
the meeting, and H. A. Fast, secre-
tary. Trouble with our linotype this
week, makes it necessary to condensc
this report. The affair was largely
attended and was considered 4 big
success in every way. A resolution
was adopted to the effect that a
similar meeting would be held next
year. A collection amounting to
$47 was taken up for the benefit
of the United Sunday school. The
program in the forenoon was in Ger
man and in the afternoon in English.
In the forenoon d. D. Eitzen led
the community singing, and in the
afternoon f. j. Wiens, missionary
from China, led it, The musical
numbers followed the order given in
the program published last week.
F. J. Wiens, the missionary, made
an address pointing out the need of
mutual helpfulness, and showed ways
in which people could be helpful
to one another. In the afternoon the
Rev. John n. c. Hiebert talked on
the Results and Aim of our Saenger-
fest. He said that no song is ever
real song unless it comes from the
DEPTHS of the heart.
Choirs that took part in the musi-
al festival were the Bruderthaler,
