TRACH0MA SURVEY
COMING IN OCTOBER
SPECIALISTS TO EXAMINE
CHILDREN ON AND NEAR
RESERVATION

The ACounty Health Board was
in session Monday and decided to
pay the transportation of DR.. G. E.
Yates, trachoma expert for the In
dian Bureau and DR.. Paul Moss
man, trachoma expert for the Pub
lie Health service when they visit
Roosevelt county in October for
the purpose of conducting a ira
choma survey in the territory adj
iacent to the Indian reservation
DR.. j. E. Crouch. state edpidemio-
logist, will probably represent the
state in the survey.
This survey will be conducted
in a number of counties bordering
the Indian reservations and will
be made at the request of the
Montana state board of health
with view to ascertaining the ex-
tent of the spread of this serious
eye trouble. DR.. Cogswell secre-
tary of the health board says that
this information should be of in
terest not only in Montana but
also in other states that have sim
liar Indian problems.
Trachoma is a disease of the
eyes which is easily transmitted
from one person to another. 1t
begins as an inflammation of the
mucous membrane covering the
eyeball and the inner surface of
the eyelid Granulations are
formed which give place to scar
tissue. This frequently results in
blindness.
DR.. Darland of Froid, who
watched DR.. Yates operate on ira
choma cases at Froid, says that he
has followed up number of
these cases and that in every in
stance those who were operated
on are much pleased with the re-
suits.
It is not the intention to operate
at the time Dr. Mossman and DR..
Yates are here, but merely to con-
duct a survey to find out how
much trachoma there is, both
among the whites and among the
Indians.

FARMERS SOLVING
HARVEST PROBLEMS

That farmers are attacking the
problem of harvesting unevenly
ripened grain in business like
way is evident from the inquiries
coming to the Extension Service
in this regard. Where combines
are to be used, this is an impor-
tant problem which must be solv-
ed if combines are to be used
successfully.
AS it is essential that wheat be
reduced to a moisture content OF
IA per cent before harvesting,
combine owners who live some
distance from market are purchas-
ing moisture testers for individual
use. By having a tester available,
the combine owner can run tests
from tirle to time following rains,
or before starting harvest opera
tions and will thus be able to
start combining at the earliest
moment the grain is ready.
Several combine owners in
Roosevelt county have recognized
the difficulties to be incurred in
handling weed growth and have
secured cleaners for their ma
chimes. The windrowers have
been in big demand and dealers
have been informed by bran III
houses that they will be unable to
furnish these machines this year.

There was a wonderful display Of
exhibits, good races and a large
attendance.
Regina is already making plans
for 1892. The International grain
show will be there that year and
a two-weeks fair will be held.
It is impossible to get a COM
plete list of all who attended from
here. but those about whom the
Herald has learned include Mr..
and Mrs. Ed Camrud, Mr.. and
Mrs. c. E. Onberg, Mr. and Mrs.
Chas. Roholt, Eleanor Hanson, j.

TWO CARS CRASH
ON VIDA ROAD SAT.
MEN NOT MUCH HURT, BUT
CONSIDERABLY SCRATCH
ED AND BRUISED

A head-on collision on the Vida
road about ~ miles southeast of
Wolf Point last Saturday fore
noon at about 1870 resulted in
considerable damage to the cars
but little injury to the men who
were in them.
F. A. Schmidt, driving his new
Oldsmobile Six, had in the car
with him Alfred Burke, o. B. Hors-
ford of the Southside, and a Mr..
Buckley, service man for the Holt
combine. They had been setting
up a combine and were on their
way to dinner. Ascending a hill
they suddenly saw another car top
the hill, coming toward them at
short distance AS is customary
through this country most of the
traffic runs in one track. Mr.
Schmidt turned his car out to the
right. The other car, new
Chevrolet, was driven by Ed
Johnson of Richey, hail adjuster.
Mr.. Johnson thought that Mr..
Schmidt was not going to turn out
so he did, going to the left. A
collision resulted and the impact
was so hard that the Chevrolet
was swung around in the road
until it stood parallel with the
Olds. Mr.. Johnson's car had the
radiator and engine badly smash
ed. the tire torn off from the front
wheel, and was the worse dam
aged of the two Mr.. Schmldts
car had the radiator jammed, the
front fender and axel bent and
one of the lights bent.
Mr.. Johnson sustained a severe
cash on his forehead and bad
bruises. Mr.. Burke had one bone
broken in his hand, cut on his
leg and minor decorations on his
ia &c. Mr.. Schmidt sustained
slight scalp wound and Mr.. Hors-
ford got a bad cut on his knee,
and several smaller cuts and
scratches.
All of them consider that they
got off very lucky, to have escap-
ed more serious injury.

WINTER WHEAT
YIELDING WELL
LOW PRICE HELPED BY GOOD
PROTEIN PREM MiUM-
LITTLE SPRING

During the last week consider
able wheat has been marketed at
the various elevators. Most of
this is winter wheat which is
yielding much better than expect
ed. Reports from the various ele-
vators indicate that yields are
running all the way from eleven
bushels to 20 bushels to the acre
on winter wheat A yield of 20
bushels on M. B. Fargen's farm is
the highest reported to date. Eli
Maltby has some winter wheat on
the reservation that is yielding
about Is bushels. Some of the
grain that is coming in now is
from fields where the grain is be-
ing cut with a combine and it will
be impossible to know accurately
the yield until the entire piece has
been cut Some of the winter
wheat going about Is bushels to
the acre looked so bad about June
1st that the owners thought of
plowing them under.
Charley Hall and George Trudo
are among the first to bring in
Marquis wheat. This is excellent
quality and tests up well. Spring
wheat from the higher bench land
has not begun to come in yet, but
it is expected that next week will
see a considerable amount market
ed in spite of the low price. Some
of the best wheat marketed this
week brought premium of 44c
above the market base price.

inches at the Indian Agency at
Poplar, July is put down as the
wettest July since 1867, the limit
of weather records in this part
