SEED SHOW AN RESPIRATION
Great Falls Tribune)

A visit to the state seed show now in progress in the old
Paris building on First avenue north renews ones faith in Mon
tanas agricultural future. There one can see the most complete
collection OF registered small grain, corn and potato seed ever
assembled in the state. And it is displayed in a manner that
gives those unfamiliar with farm conditions a better under
standing of the advancement that farmers of this state are max
ing in stabnizing their economic position.
The growing season of 1880 was abnormaIy dry in all sec
tions of Montana. In some regions it was drier than in others.
Yet virtually every section is represented at the show, proving
what is possible of accomplishment under adverse weather con
those who, now and then, are inclined to be skeptical of agri-
cultures permanency in a state where semtarid land pre-
dominates.
But this proof of the ability of Montana nonirrigated land
that a greater number of farmers are improving their seed and
cultural practices, thereby increasing their yields per acre as
well as the price per busheI.
Many of the exhibits at the state seed show are arranged in
booths, each booth representing a county. Each display gives
a picture of the aims and purposes of the farmers within a county
and the methods by which these detectives are being achieved.
1t is most instructive.
For example, in the Prairie county booth is a little sod house
representing a homestead on which wheat-just the common,
ordinary variety of wheat-was grown exclusively. A sign on
the house tells the story: sold for taxes" Contrasting with
this exhibit are the fields of registered wheat, registered corn
and registered alfalfa, all of which has contributed to the fnan-
Conditions are not bad in Prairie county this fall because many
of the farmers have registered alfalfa, beans and corn to sell.
They didn't depend entirely upon wheat for an income.
1t should be obvious to every Montana farmer that, If he
would succeed In a state where high freight rates prevail and
where the drouth hazard is more or less frequent, he should
direct his efforts to growing quality proddce which not only
brings a higher price but which also resists dry years more
successfully. In other words, he should not confne his oper-
at1ons to raising the common varieties of wheat exclusively. He
should diversity his grain crops and should use pure seed.
Waldo Kidder, state extension agronomist, is authority for
the statement that Montanas agricultural income his year would
have been increased 100000 if farmers had used pure seed.
The state seed show proves that the highest quality seed
can be grown in Montana, even under adverse conditions. and
this assurance should be inspiration to every citizen.

part of the state.
Lemuel NJ. Marmon, who was
born in Iowa in 1852, came to the
Williston locality in 1876. For
some time he cut wood to sell to
steamboats, on the Missouri river
and he was engaged in hunting
and trapping. He died at Altoona,
Ia, having been taken to that city
by a sister last August to be treat
ed for pernicious anemia, from
which he had suffered for about
a year.
Mr.. Marmon was for a time in
Military service at Fort Buford
and participated in an expedition
The Wolf Point herald. (Wolf Point, Mont.) 1913-1940, 1930-11-21

to round up Sitting Bulls band in
1880. Following this, he engaged
in buffalo hunting and also was
engaged for a time in freighting
along Yellowstone river.
Mr.. Marmon joined Robert
Mathews and George Grinnell IN
formation of a train of 13 wagons
and made three expeditions for
buffaloes to the Little Big Horn
country. In 1882 they found no
buffaloes and it was his opinion
that the last of the animals seen
in that region was a band of six
aged bulls that passed the wagon
train neal Trenton in 1882.
Grinnell and Mathews, who pre-
coded him into the northwest,
died many years ago, leaving
Morg as the outstanding pioneer.

He was quite intimately connect
ed with history of Williston, hav-
ing taken a homestead on some of
the land on which the city now
stands, part of the land forming
the original townsite and other
tracts being in various "Marmon's
additions" About 80 years ago
he moved to the southeastern
part of the county, where he en-
gagged in horse ranching, having
at one time several hundred
horses.
Mr.. Marmon was married twice,
the first wife having died many
years ago. The second wife and
their four children survive him, as
we'll as a brother, Steve Marmon,
a resident of Wolf Point, Mont,
and Mrs. Ruth Lacey of Altoona.

THE "FIRE TAX"

Our S5OOOOOOOO annual fire loss, in effect a tax that must be
paid by every citizen, whether or not his own property is destroyed.
Every time we buy a loaf of bread, a pair of shoes or any other
commodity or service, some part of the purchase price is attributable
to waste due to fire. Store owners pay, as part of their overhead,
insurance premiums which must be passed On to the customer. The
insurance premium rate in any locality is a direct reflection of the
fire hazard.
Every time a home o a factory is burned, the community loses Z
taxpayer. The tax which would be normally paid IN this property
must be distributed among other property owners. Every fire, large
or small, means a loss of business and a cessation Unemployment
factors which directly affect every citizen. Cases are on record where
great CONGREGATIONS have definitely brought to an end industrial and
social progress in a town.
Preventing fire waste is a direct responsibility of the individual
citizen. His carelessness causes this care can prevent it. BY the
exercise of common sense in regard to IL property we can lower
the fire tax"-Exchange.

H BUTTER LAW

The law covering the sale of dairy butter will come a S a distinct
surprise to many people in this county AT first thought many
of or butter makers will resent this law a an absolute insult, but
when analysed it will be found to be of universal benefit
This law has been in effect in Montana for many years but owing
to lack of funds for the inspectors to come into this part of the
state has prevented the enforcement of it here.
In talking with the Inspector he told us one of the reasons for it
was that some years ago in the western part of Montana the con-
sumers IS we'll as the buttermakers made numerous complaints Of
the practice of substituting butter. The butter would be delivered to
the merchants without any way if Identifying it. There were certain
buttermakers who made exceptionally good butter, and the customers
would leave standing orders for this butter each week. Others learn
ed about this butter and would also leave orders with the groceryman
for some of Mrs. Soandsos butter, and each customer would have
his orders filed prOmptly-these grOcerymen appeared to always have
pounds per week were filed whereas she only made Is pounds each
week. Some of this butter was very good, some fair and some quite
poor An investigation was made and it was found that this practice
was pursued in several of the towns in the same vicinity-this led to
finding the practice more or less common, and finally led to the making
of this law so that each buttermakers name should appear On the
packages. Furthermore, in order to prevent any mistakes occurring
where the butter is sold in jars, the total quantity in a jar must be
plainly written or printed upon the paper covering the jar or carton
of butter, together with the exact weight of the contents.
If the name of he maker, together with the weight of the con-
tents is written in pencil upon the paper wrapper it will easily erase,
and if written with an indelible pencil or with ink, it generally soaks
through into the butter.
To overcome this difficulty for most butter makers throughout
the western part of Montana where this law has been rigidly enforced
to carry a stock of parchment paper on hand and the name and
address of the buttermaker is printed on same, usually followed with
met weight one pound" This does not cost much and the news
papers will endeayor to supply the buttermakers Of this vicinity with
such paper and printing at the lowest possible cos.

by the National Safety Council there have been 20 per cent fewer

PIONEERING EEEoRrs OF MONTANA OIL

"The eyes of the entire Montana oil industry" says an oil author
iy, "are fixed with great interest on the outcome of the efforts now
being made by the Montana Producers Purchasing company, a group
of Independent oil men, who are seeking to establish their gasoline
product on the Montana market
This group Of oil operators banded together for their own pro-
lection and the relief of the oil industry of the state comprise eight
of the leading Independent producers in the Kevin-Sunburst Field
They have invested $4,000 in improvements at the Shelby Pipeline
and Refining Company where they are processing their crude, which
will enable them to produce enough gasoline to supply most Of the
statewide demand.
"They are making a bid for the trade of the public which has here
tOfore accorded them a negligible patronage, due to the fact that they
have not been sufficiently organized to properly exploit their por
duct in the pubics mind. Their success will determine to a great
extent the future of Montana's oil industry, in the opinion of many oil
field operators, who are now Withholding intensive development await
ing the outcome"
This all comes back to the ancient issue of patronizing home in
dustries by spending in Montana the money earned in Montana, or.
sending it outside the state and taking a chance on some of it com
ing back. One of the biggest reasons why Montana oil goes Begging.
for a market is that the outside oil is extensively and attractivey
advertised and the Montana concerns lack the capital to compete
with them in this allimportant selling feature.

FOREST PROTECTION INCREASES
Great Falls Tribune)

A Douglas fir tree that was 402 years old when Columbus dis.
covered America in 1892 did not tell its great secret until recently,
when, cut down in It's 839th year, it lay upon its death bed, preparing
to give up its ghost into $4,000 feet of lumber.
And then its story was not of the Christian crusades upon Jeru.
salem, when the tree was a mere STRIPPING a decade old. Nor was it
of the defeat Of the Spanish Armada Nor the landing of the pilgrims
Nor Corvallis surrender to Washington. Nor Napoleon's Waterloo
Nor the first sawmil, nor the first Atlantic cable.
It's great story of the past, told more wildly than mere words
could express, lay in the growth rings of the tree. In this living vault
yer charcoal records proving that the fir survived II different forest
fires during the first 400 years of its life.
After being fened for the sawmi1 at VERONA, Ore, the tree, 10
feet in diameter at the base and stretching 23O feet in length, was
carefully studied by an expert
According to his findings, the tree definitely established the fact
that fires were a menace to forests long before white men settled in
this country.
Since the consistent fire hazard then must have been lightning
it is estimated from statistics that a tree today is in exactly 80 times
more danger from fire than it would have been then.
In 1929 forest fires numbered 134,S95, of which lightning started
only l per cent. This year, one of the driest in history, might have
proved even more disastrous had it not been for drastic preventive
measures and evidence of a growing public sentiment for caution.
If that fir had stood long enough it might some day have been
than it was in 1892.
