cat least IS counties will sen(
displays to the State Seed Show
at Great Falls, November II tc
IA" said Waldo Kidder, secretary
of the Montana Seed Growers
Association. we expect several
more but that number have ac-
tually arranged to send displays"
These county displays, designed
. by county agents and seed grow
ers of the counties, will show all
or some phase of the crop i'm
provement program being carried
On in the county, the results of
this work and samples of the best
seed stocks in the county.
Counties which have already
made arrangements to have dis
plays at the show are: Valley,
Judith Basin, Chouteau, Custer
and Powder River, Glacier, Fer
gus, Toole, Cascade, Prairie. Te-
ton, Pondera, Rosebud and the
Sun River Project. Other coun-
ties which Mr.. Kidder expects will
send displays are. F1athead,
Yellowstone, Saltwater and Lake.
Several delegates for the seed
school, to be held in connection
with the show, have already been
chosen and the complete list Of
two delegates from each of 80
counties is expected to be ready
In a few days. County agents or
committees named by the county
agents choose the delegates to be
sent from each county. Delegates
are being chosen because of their
interest and ability along the
lines of crop Improvement and
seed work and their ability to take
the information gained at the
school, back to their neighbors.
The Institutional staff will be an
nounced in a few days.
Judges for the show have been
chosen. Ralph Grim, extension
agronomist at the University of
Minnesota, will judge the grain
entries. Potato entries will be
placed by F. M. Harrington, head
of the horticulture department of
the Montana Experiment Station,
and j.. E. Nortin of the Judith
Basin Branch Experiment Station

the best seed shows ever held in
Montana and We feel that the
school will be one of the most
popular features" said Mr.. Kid

entirely for practical crop improv-
ment purposes and the school
should prove to be a very essen
tial part OF the show"

HUSKERS READY
FOR TITLE TEST
CHAMPS AND CHAILENGERS
WILL MEET SOON AT
NORTON, KAN.

Norton, Kan, Nov. 4-The corn
belts fastest huskers are shining
their pegs and hooks and banging
the bangboards in practice for the
seventh national corr husking
contest. Champions of seven
states will compete here Nov. IA

Minnesota. The two best huskers
from each state will be eligible.
The husker who betters the ma

lish a mark of more than 1858 bu-
shells of husked corn in 80 min
utes. That record was set by Ell
mer Williams of Illinois in 1925.
The defending champion. Walter
Olson of Rio, ILL.,, titleholder for
the last two years, made his best
mark, 26.6 bushels, in 1928.
Under contest rules entrants
are allowed 80 minutes to demon
strate their speed and skill. Each
has a wagon and driver and works
two rows of corn at a time Thor
oughness as well as speed is es-
sential. For every pound market
able corn left in the field and
picked up by two cleaners who
follow each contestant, three
pounds are deducted from the
weight of corn husked into the
wagon.
An average OF five ounces of
husks is allowed for each 100
pounds of corn, with deductions
of any excess.
The state and national contests
are sponsored by the Capper
Farm Press and the Standard

Wooden F10cks Dominate Fall Styles
WILL BE BELTED AND LONGER THAN LAST SEASON, SAYS HARRIET
KNITTED MATERIALS, ESPECIALLY LACY WEAvES. ARE SMARTEST
BY HARRIET

TIME wooden frock vogue takes
l. precedence over every other
fashion style this autumn.
When the frost is on the pump
kin, wooden frocks will appear as
the most distinguished apparel
for women.
There are all kinds of worsted
frocks this autumn and all kinds
of material from which they are
fashioned. Knitted materials, es-
~pecially the lacy .weaves, are
among those that rank highest So
cially. Next come the soft tweeds
that take pleats and which lend
a note of correctness to the smart
ly tailored woman who wears
them.
Some of the new frocks use
lingerie collars, Vestees, cuffs.
Others are tailored with svelt
lines and no trim, depending on
furs for decoration.
All of them are longer than
last season. Most Of them are
belted. But the matter of pep
lums, b~oleros, cape treatment, one
or two-piece cut and other details
of fashion are considerations left
to each woman.
The three outstanding colors
for fall are browns. in all tones
possible, reds ranging from tawny
rust to rich wine and black.
The way to plan a wool frock
is to visualize it with all the &C
cessories you need to make a
stunning outdoors outfit, such as
hat, shoes, purse. gloves and, If
you wish it, a scarf or fur piece.
Two of the smartest wooden
dresses shown this fall employ
two of the newest materials,
lace jersey, the other soft tweed.
The jersey is the bright new red
that is so chic. and it is made in
a one-piece design, with a skirt
that flares below the hips. 1t has
a regular shirt collar, very smart
on a good-looking woman. And it
has tight, long sleeves, with cuffs
that fasten with link buttons, an
other new note. With it there is
a black suede belt, with a buckle
of gold and some red enamel the
color of the frock.
A black hat, one of those little
ones that sit atop a woman's
head jauntily, is worn with it. a
tricorn Of velour, with a nose
veil. The cowl scarf, that throws

STATE COLLEGE
WEEKLY LETTER

Bozeman, Mont. - Wheat will
bring a fancy price when market
ed in the form of pork according
TO d. e. Richards, extension live
stock specialist at Montana State
College. He bases his statement
on recent fattening trials carried
on by the Montana Experiment
Station.
During last spring and summer
two lots of hogs were fed on al
falfa pasture. tankage and grain,
one lot receiving barley and the
other, wheat. The results were
that the lot fed wheat made more
rapid as well as more economical
gains with wheat, producing one
hundred pound gains 95 cents
cheaper than barley.
The difference in average daily
gains was not large. Those fed
wheat averaged LA pounds per
day while those fed barley aver
aged IL pounds. The large differ
ence was in the amount of feed re-
quired to produce a one-hundred
pound gain. With wheat as the
grain 351 pounds and II pounds of
tankage were required. With bar
ley, however, 391 pounds Of grain
and 1S pounds of tankage were
required.

J. O.. Tretsven, extension dairy
specialist at Montana State Col

that many cows were going dry
during September and that the
fall freshening season had not yet
got under way further depressed
production averages.
The percentage of 40-pound
cows was IS in August and slight
ly over 10 in September. The av-

High herds of from Is to "A
COWS averaged 1904 pounds of
butterfat per COW in August and
1852 pounds during September. A

RANGE PARALYSIS
SERIOUS In POULTRY

Leg weakness, lameness ans
similar symptoms which affect
poultry in this area during the fal
and winter are characterized by
DR.. WEIGH of the agricultural ex
pertinent station as range paraly
sis. In a circular recently sent
out by DR.. H. WEIGH this disease
is described as follows:
Range paralysis is one of the
most common and also most des-
tructive diseases of poultry. 1t
is primarily a summertime and
fall disease, at which season it
may be more prevalent than all
other conditions combined. Since
it is also uniformly fatal and
treatment is unknown, range pa
ralysis is a serious problem.
Progressive lameness, often
also with dropping of one or both
wings, to complete paralysis,
emaciation, and changes in the
eye are the outstanding symp-
toms. The pupillary margin of
the iris becomes grayed and ir-
regular in outline; the lens may
become cloudy or Opaque and
blindness results. Birds maintain
good appetites even when legs
are completely paralyzed and ly-
ing on their sides. Blindness, of
course, soon leads to death from
starvation or thirst. In spite of
ample feeding emaciation is pro-
~gressive. Internally there are no
definite findings except that de-
generation of areas of nerve
trunks may be found.
Range paralysis has been as
cribed by various experiment sta
ton workers to internal parasites.
Tapeworms, roundworms, and coo
cidia have all been suggested as
the cause. Yet heavily parasited
flocks often show no paralytic
birds and paralyzed birds may Or
may not be found to harbor para
sites.
Workers at the Storrs expert
ment station, Storrs, Conn, give
in their Bulletin 146 some of the
most recent experimental evidence
regarding this disease. After two
years study. they came to tenta-
tive conclusions that the disease
is caused by a filterable virus at
lacking nerve tracts. Transmits
sion by injection Of filtered ex-
tracts of diseased nerve cords was
successful in $50 of cases. A sim
liar experiment, conducted by DR..
Theobald Smith, showed negative
results in attempts at disease
transmission.
This is a flock disease in which
up to 500, principally cockerels
and pullets, become affected. SAM
tation and salvage by early mar
if birds are our only and
also inadequate means of defense.
Medication of drinking water may
reduce spread OF the condition
since it may be of an infectious
nature. Necropsy reveals para
in most farm f1ocks, thus
the postmortem OF a paralytic
bird often shows the need of ap-
propriate treatment In a flock for
condition.
However, since a very SINH
~ set Of symptoms may be
brought on by parasites ttape-
worms or rouudwo~msl. nv lack OF
yreen food, bv an excessive grain
or by lack OF minerals

hese things into consideration
when the matter OF leg weakness
