STATE SP0RTSNEN
MEET IN BILLINGS


"The directors of the Montana
Sportsmen's Association will meet
at Billings on Monday, November
II. Many matters of great impor-
lance to the sportsmen of Montana
will be taken up at that time," ac-
cording to B. F. Gerry, Secretary
of the Association
"The Association was organized
in 1920 and since that time has
been working for the perpetuation
of Montana's great out-of-doors.
1t has been very instrumental in
the carrying out Of many projects
of real benefit to the sportsmen of
the State.
CONSERVATION becomes more diff
ficult each year, and due to rapid
ly changing conditions requires
more research and money to car
ry on this work. The money used
for the operations of our State
Fish and Game Commission is de-
rived only from part of the sale
of fishing and hunting licenses and
none of the tax money is used for
this purpose. There is need of adj
ditional funds for this work and an
effort will be made during the
next legislative session to secure
an increase in our present license.
Many of the other Western States
have much higher license fees. The
Montana Sportsmen's Association
voted for an increase at their last
annual meeting held in May.
THE program for the coming
year will be outlined and will be
much larger than any ever under
taken by the Association. Many Of
the sportsmen's clubs, which have
not previously been members of
the Association are realizing the
many benefits of such a State or
ganization and have signified their
intentions of joining next year.
"a wild life educational pro-
gram is carried on by the Associ-
alton among the schools, Boy
Scouts, All clubs, and civic organi-
cations. This will be greatly en-
larged upon for 1881 and motion
pictures of Montana wild life will
be employed in this most import
ant work.
'The Dude Ranchers' Associa-
ton is holding it's annual meeting
at Billings November II to 10 and
the directors of the Sportsman's
Association have been invited to
attend this meeting"

USE
INCREASES YIELD
OF SUGAR BEETS

BoZeman, Mont.,-An increase OF
six tons of sugar beets per acre
followed the use of fertilizer and
the encouraging results of experl.
ments carried on in several Mon
tana counties by the Montana Ex-
pertinent Station Indicate that pro-
duetion can be increased material
ly by this method of supplying de-
fieieney of plant food, according
to Edmund Burke, experiment sta
ton chemist.
In the Billings area, the Great
Western Sugar Company tried an
application of treble superphos-
phate at the rate of 125 pounds
per acre and increased the yield in
almost every trial, amounting in
some cases to as much as five and
six tons per acre Similar crafty
Ing results were obtained in west
ern Montana, Mr.. Burke advises.
The experiments conducted in
scattered sections of Montana bv
the experiment station have indi
Gated that farmers should pay close
attention to the amount of plant
food in the soil. The experiments
have not been conducted long en-
ough nor in enough counties of the
state to Recommend the wholesale
use of fertilizers. Each farmer.
however, can test his soil and de-
eide for himself whether plant
food Is deficient by the simple met
bod of fertilizing a small plot of
about one-tenth of an acre and then
comparing the resulting yield with
an unfertilized plot of the same
size.
The first step to take in regard
to the use of fertilizer is to deter
mine whether a plant food is de-
ficient. If there is a deficiency, the
next step is to examine the fertil-
izers offered on the market to see
which one will furnish the most of
the deficient food at the least cost.
In investigating commercial fer
tilizers, Mr.. Burke says it should
be borne in mind that the percent
of nitrogen in a heterogeneous fertil-
izer or the percent of potash in
potash fertilizer determines their
value.
County agents or the Montana
Experiment Station will be able to
render assistance.

INDIAN Summers here! TIL

INDIAN Summers herel The
/ bright blue weather" of Octo-
ber and November, when the
wellknown Mr.. Frost has touched
all the pumpkins that did not go
to make grinning Jack o'lanterns,
has tumbled the apples from the
tress, helped strip the shucks from
the golden corn, and sent the old
thermometer down around its own
shoe tops every morning!
To same folks, Indian summer
means poetry, to others beautiful
scenery, to the farmers Harvest,
and to all of us who are lucky
enough to sit around the family
board-bigger and better break
fasts! Bigger and better" break
fasts mean-you've guessed it.
waffles and pancakes and mullins,
with all of the delicious syrup you
want poured on top of them--a
tangible tang you can eat! Isn't
that a treat that was worth wait
ing all summer for?
There are all kinds of syrup for
the waffles and cakes of our Au-
tumn appetites, but the best and
most healthful kind, the kind that
melts in your mouth, is made from
the food most appropriate to In
dian summer-corn, the first food
af the Americans. Straight from
tidy cans you can pour it, or from
your favorite fat pitcher: the cry
stalline light kind, the mellow dark
variety, or, for change, the but
terscotch or maple or carmel flaw
ored corn syrups.
If it's piping hot you like your
syrup, that's easy, too! just pour
it into a saucepan, to each eupful
add one-fourth teaspoon baking
soda, bring to a boil and serve.
Now for the waffles and cakes
themselves, some clever cook has
worked out a "speed method of
mixing which leaves you time for
plenty of beauty sleep: Use a Ii
quid shortening, pour the cool oil
straight from the can into the
beaten eggs, and don't cream at
all. Since both the eggs and oil are
cool, you need use no special care
to make this emulsion" and it |
cuts the time in half.
