SEED EXPERIMENT
REPORT IS ISSUED
From Montana state ColIege)

NHARKTON oats and Horn barley are
the varieties OF these two feed crops
AiA which are best adapted to conditions
found on the dry LAM farms of central
Montana. according to a published report
of experiments carried on at the Judith
Basin branch station just issued by the
Montana experiment station.
The report is by Ralph w May. for
mer associate agronomist at the branch
station, and deals with the results of
tests with different varieties OF oats and
barley.
In his summary and conclusions Mr..
May says:
Markton is the outstanding variety of
oats for the dry lands of central Mon
tana. Silvermine and Lincoln may be
substituted when Markton is not obtain
able. Victory is too late in maturing for
the dry lands but is one of the best va
rieties under irrigation or on sub-irri-
gated land.
Midseason oats have yielded better and
have weighed more than early oats. Rich
land is the most productive early variety
but it has yellow grain. Oats sown on
April IL averaged 90 bushels per acre
more than those sown on May Is. Re-
suits of experiments indicate that with
the large-grained varieties 1t is best to
SOW at the rate of six pecks per acre and
five pecks are enough for the small
grained kinds.
Horn is the best variety Of barley for
dry lands. Hannchen should be substi-
tuted when Horn is not available. White
Smyrna, an early-maturing variety, is
best for late seeding latter May 15). Ire
bi appears to be the best variety under
irrigation.
The tWo-row hulled varieties have
yielded better and weighed more than
the six-row hulled varieties. The six
row hulless varieties have given very poor
yields.
Barley sown on April IL averaged 11.6
bushels per acre more than that sown on
May 16. This grain should be w at
the rate of five pecks per acre.
Barley outyields oats on q basis OF
total weight and in mount of digestible
nutrients per acre. Barley is knoWn to
be second only to corn as a fattening
grain. The acreage Of barley In Montana
might well be increased at the expense of
oats.

WORK
is ON INCREASE
(From Montana state CoIlegel

WITH a total of 40 agents In 80 coun-
w ties the Montana Extension service
W has reached a new high point in its
development, says j. G.. Taylor, director
OF the Extension department at the Mon
tana State college. The present list of
agents includes 81 agricultural agents
and nine home demonstration and All
club agents. Wibaux. where extension
work was started the first of the year, is
the latest county to establish an extern
sion office.
While there are still "a counties in the
state hat are not carrying on organized
extension work, many Of these counties
have only limited agricultural POSSIBLE
ties, says MIR. Taylor. The counties that
do employ agents contain 4,505 of the
approximately 10000 farms in the state.
which mean that rs per cent of the
farms Of the state are now served direct
ly by extension agents.
Several other counties at present are
making arrangements for the employ
ment of extension agents, but no addi-
tons to the list will be possible until
further funds are released by legislation.
MIR. Taylor explains. All available fed
eral and state funds for employing ex-
tension agents ave been allotted, states
the director.
The Montana Extension service was Or
ganized a little more than a decade ago.

Retail Merchants
To Meet ait Havre

At q meeting of the executive COM
mittee OF the Retail Merchants Asso-
citation of Montana, held in Helena,
March 8, Havre was chosen as the place
for holding the 1928 annual conven-
ton, and the dates we're fixed at June
4 and 5.
In selecting the place for the conven-
ton the committee took ~cognizance OF
the fact that the annua convention had
never been held at a point in the state
north of Great Falls. Secretary Arm
strong earnestly favored the selection OF
Havre, stating that the merchants OF
northern and northeastern Montana were
showing much interest in the work OF
the association, and he had been as
sured that Havre would give the dele
gates to the convention a warm welcome
Officers of the association are. Presi-

the recent meeting of the Fort Peck
Farm and Livestock association at
Poplar.
The ceremonial banquet was prepared
by Indian girls and served in the dining
room in the school dormitory at Poplar.
Following toasts responded to by busi-
ness men from Wolf Point and Poplar,
two Indians entered the room unan
nounced and stepped behind the two
men seated at one point Of the horse
shoe table. "Ho," (halt) was the COM
mand. The men were then marched
once about the table and halted at the
center.
Mr.. Stebbins was escorted by Arthur
Use-his-foot, whose tribal name is Chief
Siha Kisun (Red SHELBY, and the lieu
tenant governor was escorted by Chief
Black Duck, who, assembling the tribal
members, christened the lieutenant gov
ernor Swift Eagle"
Chief Black Duck explained that in
the early days he had scalped white men,
but learning better he had devoted much
of his life trying to teach his people
American ideals n had endeavored to
inculcate a spirit of respect for the

eagle was the king of birds, and the
swiftest of the fowls Of the air, and in
christening the lieutenant governor Swift
Eagle, he hoped he would be swift in
coming to the aid Of the Sioux tribes
and other Indians in Montana should
they ever need his help. He then pre-
sented the lieutenant governor with a
beautiful feather war bonnet.
Chief Red Shield escorted Mr.. Steb-
bins to the place of honor, and chris
tened him Chetn-Ho-Washta, or Good
Voice Hawk. The chief explained that
the name Good Voice Hawk was the
name of his father who was beloved by
all the indians because he knew much
about livestock. and had taught them
much about sheep and cattle. He pre-
sented Mr.. Stebbins with a fine red-stone
peace pipe, about two feet in length. and
q three-foot beautifully beaded tobacco
pouch, trimmed with porcupine quilts.
Chief Red Shield said he had never
had any children and hat they intended
to adopt him into their family. Mrs.
Red Shield then stepped forward and,
shaking hands with Mr.. Stebbins, sane
toned her husbands remarks. In honor
of Mr.. Stebbins' adoption into the family
she presented an Indian mi with a
gift Of money.

When Bert Miller, the real estate
agent. rented the abandoned house
to Col. Rankin and Prof. Gibbs

like all the symptoms on a patent
medicine bottle. and attempted TO
scare his tenants by vague hints
that the houses were haunted. The
southern gentlemen got wise and
decided to start a little mystery
of their own. The colonel and pro-
lessor had brought north with
them two colored servants, Jasper
Green and Clementine Brown and
the world knows how supersti-
tious the, darby can be regarding
