COMBINING OF
WHEAT BEGUN
HALL DELIVERS FIRST OF
1929 VIII HEAT-CUTTING
SOON UNDERWAY

Chas. Hall, living just west OF
town, is the first in this section of
the state to harvest wheat so far
as We can ascertain. Part of Mr..
Halls wheat crop is in bottom
land and usually ripens early, but
this year was about two weeks
earlier than any previous year.
He combined his first field last
Saturday. 1t was badly burnt
one and made only about five
bushel average. He has combined
two other fields. One made seven
bushels, the other, summer fal-
low field, ran slightly better than
ten bushels per acre. 1t is all
Marquis spring wheat. He is haul
ing it to the Equity elevator.
The Hall combining was done
by the Eli Maltby rig. Mr.. Malt
by has moved his outfit to his
place north of town and will COM
bine his own winter wheat start
ing the first of next week.
Cutting and combining in gen
eral is expected to be well under
way within the next week.

crete piers is almost done, and the
other is being lowered. T wo
tubular piers and another buttment

zion for the structure.

WATCHES, AND RINGS IN
NEBRASKA

Robbers in the state of Nebras
ka have no respect for a county
attorney, is the knowledge that A

trip in the east. Enroute home,
hey stopped at a camp in Oak
land, Neb., and were prepared to
spend the night in their tent when

watches, rings and knives of the
entire party were taken, with the
single exception of the wedding

BIG FIELD DAY
AT BROCKTON
1000 ATTEND PROGRAM AT
EXPERl MENTAL FARM
FRIDAY
(By A. w. Wardenl

A crowd of approximately 200(
people coming from many sections
of Montana and adjacent states
attended the Field Day program al
the Brockton Experimental farm
July 10. Farmers from Canada
North and South Dakota, and
agricultural leaders from Russia
were among those attending from
out of the state.
The days program included an
explanation of the work being
carried on at the Experimental
farm by Montana State college,
inspection of tillage and variety
test plots and a demonstration of
bitches and machinery whereby
the value of man labor may be
multiplied through the use of two
or more machines.
In explaining the purpose OF the
farm, E. A. Starch of the Agricul-
tJlral Economic department point
ed out that they are following
definite cropping and cultural
systems on each of three sections
of land. Each of these systems
can be recommended for certain
farms. The problem is to decide
which system will give greatest
returns on each farm over period
of years.
Greatest interest was evidenced
in the hitch making it possible to
use 5 duckfoot cultivators cover
ing a width of 60 feet each time
across the field A ooh. p. engine
is required to pull this combin-
alton. Plow adjustment with the
explanation of L. /. Lingerfelter
of Minneapolis was also of great
interest to the many farmers
who listened to his explanation of
thi important farm operation.
While all of the work at the
Experimental farm is incomplete,
many ideas on farm operation
were disseminated and it is be-
lieved that many of them will be
used on farms in this section dur
ng the coming years.

In Vida Community

Ed Schilllnger, who farms two
miles north of Vida, was in town
Monday. He states that crops in
that section of McCone county

a close examination reveals that
t h e heads are filling nicely.
Combining will begin in about
three weeks, he states
MIR. Schillinger is a scientific
farmer and his methods are
securing results that neighbors,
COMMUNICATIVE, are commenting
savorably upon. He is a strong
proponent of deep plowing, care
sul preparation of the seed bed
nd not too heavy seeding

WHEAT MARKETING
MUST BE STUDIED
TESTS FOR MOISTURE G. PRO
TElN CONTENT IMPORTANT
SAYS ECONOMIST

That farmers must have their
wheat tested for both moisture
and protein content and know the
market value before they sell
were most important points EN-.
phasized at the wheat marketing
meetings held at Froid and Cul-
bertson early in July under the
leadership of E. j. Bell, marketing
economist of the Montana State
college.
e. J. Bell. Jr presented the re-
suits of studies Of conditions and
practices on the terminal markets.
These studies show that much
more attention has been paid to
quality during the past ten years
than before the World War Mill
ers make careful tests of all wheat
and in years when good milling is
scarce. pay large premiums for
the high quality product When
the supply of high quality wheat
is sufficient for the millers' needs,
premiums on basis of quality are
low
In order to bring a premium on
he market, it is necessary for
wheat to have seven important
characteristics, according to the
information obtained by the ex-
pertinent station. Premium wheat
must be dry: That is, it must
7ave no more than II per cent of
moisture. Second, it must be
high in protein test content
Third, it must have a test weight
of SO pounds per bushel or over.
Fourth, it must be free from
dockage. Fifth, it must be free
from smut. Sixth, it must be free
from variety mixtures. Seventh,
it must be free from cracked ker-
nels.
1t was pointed out at the meet
ings that time could be spent
more proftably in studying the
wheat market than in any other
way. Information on the wheat
market situation is made avail
able to Montana farmers by the
State College Extension service,
Trough releases to the newspa-
pers, through the Montana Farm
er, published at Great Falls, and
the offices of the county
agents.

SUBCOMMITTEE
QUIzES AGENCY
CONDUCT INVESTIGATION
AT POPLAR
(Great Falls Tribune)

Poplar, July 22.-Irrigation pro-
jects on the Fort Peck Indian
reservation must continue as
hopeless failures unless the gov
ernment will spend a considerable
amount of money to povide suffi-
cient water. This statment was
made here Monday by Charles
Eggers, superintendent of Fort
Peck agency, when he testified be-
fore the senate subcommittee on
Indian affairs inquiring into con-
duct of reservations with the OBJ
ject of making definite recommen-
dations for legislation to improve
conditions among the Indians.
Senator Lynn ]. Frazier Of
North Dakota, chairman of the
committee on Indian affairs, pre-

subcommittee present being SEN
ator Burton X Wheeler of Mont
ana and Senator w. B. Pine of
Okl a h o m a. The subcommittee
which has visited reservations in
Wisconsin and the Dakotas will
conduct hearing Tuesday at
Harlem and Wednesday at Brown
ing.
Many Questions
The senators went into great
detail in the economic side of
reservation life but did not neg
lect the educational, health and
moral aspects Senator Wheeler
did most of the questioning. The
interrogations sought to get all
possible information to determine
whether the Indians have any
chance for success under the pres
ent federal program; whether
their interests, especially in the
leasing of lands to the Frye Cattle
company, are being preserved, and
whether the plan of education pre-
