The National Surety company of
New York has made a new move
10 the case involving the alleged
robbery of the county treasurer Of
Sheridan county when yesterday
through its attorneys, John G.
Brown, of Helena, and George Hurd
OF Great Falls, a demand was filed
with Attorney General L. A. Foot
requesting that he compel Sheridan
county commissioners TO cancel the
stolen bond and warrants and issue
duplicates as authorized by section
1925 of the revised codes of Mon
tana.
On the last day of tax paying
time in 1926. about $40 o'clock in
the afternoon the county treasurer
of Sheridan county was said to be
robbed of bonds aud warrants in the
amount of $l01 ,865.40 The treas
urer, according To his own story.
was forced, at the point of revol-
yer, to stand back and let the rob
bers enter the county treasnrer's
vault where the money was OBJ
tanned.
The National Surety company
which carries the burglary insur-
ance denied a robbery had been
committed. Sheridan county and
the county treasurer brought suit to
recover on the policy aud the surety
company removed the action TO the
federal court at Great Falls where
the case is now pending.
Under section 1926 of the re-
vised codes, Mr.. Brown states, the
surety company is authorized TO de-
mand the county To issue duplicate
bonds for those stolen. The com
pany contends that Sheridan coun-
tv when filing complaint swore thar
the bonds and warrants were stolen
and it is now necessary that dupli
Gates be issued to itself.
Attorneys Brown and Hurd yes
terday furnished the attorney gen.
eral with full list of the Sheridan
county bonds and warrants stolen

County Agent Notes

AS the time is growing near when the
farmers are thinking seriously of prepar-
ing their seed for planting, it might be
well at this time 10 call attention to the
different methods of treating grain for
smut.
AS time goes on and scientific studies
of agricultural problems are being made,
we find that newer and more successful
methods are gradually taking the place of
practices followed in the past.
The old method of treating wheat with
the formaldehyde solution to prevent
Bunt Smut saved the farmers a great
many dollars, but as science has revealed
more successful method of treatment,
the Copper Carbonate Dust Method has
replaced the formaldehyde method in
many instances.
Recently there has appeared on the
market new type of smut treating ma
chine that operates on the formaldehyde
gas principle. 1t was thought by the in
ventor that by treating seed with the
formaldehyde gas, it would be a step in
advance over either the copper carbonate
dust method or the liquid formadehyde
treatment.
The principle by which the formalde-
hyde gas treating machine operates is the
placing Of long perforated tubes in the
bin or wagon box full of wheat. Attached
to these tubes is retort containing a
powder which, when heated, generates
formaldehyde gas. AS this gas escapes
from the perforated tubes and passes thru
the grain, it is thought the smut spores
will be killed.
This method of treatment involves very
little work, which would be an important
factor in treating seed grain. but after
tests were made it was found that the
termination of the grain was considerably
injured by the gas. The grain that sur
rounded the tubes terminated less than
l%, grain six inches from the tubes
showed 4O% termination, grain eight
inches away increased the termination to
6ja, and so on up.
A number of experiments have been
conducted in the last two years which
have proven conclusively that treating
wheat by the formaldehyde gas method
has not been successful from the stand
point of termination.
AS it is the duty of the county extern
sion agent to thoroughly investigate all
agricultural problems involving successful
and unsuccessful practices, so that the
interests of the people in the county may
b. protected, we do not recommend the
use of the formaldehyde gas treatment of
wheat to prevent smut. The method of
treatment that has proven to be the most
successful up to the present time is the
sos Copper Carbonate Dust Treatment.
Figures show that at the Minneapolis ma'-
ket, between August LIST and October 81
1927, fourteen carloads of wheat were
received from Sheridan county that grad
ed smutty. AS only part of the crop was
marketed between those dates, the
amount of smutty wheat in Sheridan
county would be considerably larger.
Farmers cannot afford to take a chance
and not treat their seed this year. Treat
all spring wheat with copper carbonate
il will pay in the long run, increase tie
yields and improve the quality.

.l-President-elect Hoover to-
day personally aided the officers and
crew of the warship Utah in their
preparations for a gala Christmas
celebration.
"A veteran globe-tr -trotter, Hoover
has spent half a dozen Christ.
masses on shipboard, but this will be
the first he has spent on a battle
ship. Mr.. and Mrs. Hoover spent
the first Christmas of their married
life on a ship bound for China. They
spent two others at the Suez Canal,
where Hoover was engaged in engi-
neering work.
The Utal1's Christmas dinner will
be an old-fashioned family affair.
The ships officers and crew will
n1ingle freely with the Hoover party
and there will be gifts for all. Turkey
will form the backbone Of the din
,ner. Many delicious tidbits picked
up in South American ports will also
be served.
IL Days at Sea
There are IL days of steady cruis
ing ahead before the Utah reaches
United States soil. No land will be
sighted until the battleship reaches
the islands OF the Caribbean Sea.
The Utah will reach the Caribbean
IN about seven days. The cooling
Atlantic trade winds will be encoun-
tered there so that the northward
journey promises to be more com
Portable than the southwark journey
on the Pacific through the torrid
equatorial zone.
Although regretful that he could
not spend more time amid the color
full surroundings and cordial atmos.
phere of the South American coun-
tries, Hoover Is happy to be home
ward bound so that he can prepare
to take up his executive duties.
Parting Guest Sped
The new historical era in the rela.
tions between representative nations
of the two Americas inaugurated by
Hoover's tour was symbolized by his
departure fom Rio de Janeiro harbor
in the dusk last night.
Flares and sky rockets, together
with Roman candles of North Ameri-
can make, threw a Fourth OF July
glow over the departure.
