Messina Rightly Claims
Most Wonderful Clock

Messlna, one Of the most important
towns In Sicily, Is regainlng the gories
1t lost In the appalling earth s1ake
some 70 years ago. One OF the most
striking Of its new buildings is tower
which contains tile most wonderful
clock In the world.
The tower lis surm0unted by bronze
Hon holding the city flag In Its front
paws. At midday the lion lashes Its
tail, waves the flag, and roars. A
bronze cock placed below the lion
crows a greeting TO sunrise, noon, and
sunset. Two arched recesses contain
the bells upon which the hours are
struck by figures Of Diana and Clar-
enza the herones who save the city
from being sacked by the French after
the SicIian Vespers IN 1882.
On each OF the four sides OF the
tower Is luminous dial eight feet In
diameter upon which are displayed
the phases OF the moon, perpetual
calendar, and the. movements of the
planets round the sun.
Below the clock face Is a stage upon
which mechanical figures enact scenes
appropriate to the great feasts OF the
church.-London Tit-Bits.

Many Volunteers
Offering Services

County Commissioner Brink has been
notified by H j. Fowler and Hubert
Beebe that they are willing to act as
officials at the May special election
without charge. in the McGinnis Mead
ows district This is another instance
of public spiritedness and is much APP
preciated by all who have the success
of the highway program at heart.
Others are also volunteering their
services from day to day. The MEM
bers of the election board of precinct
No. 16 have signified their willingness
to serve. This board consists of Mrs.
J. w. Barrett, Mrs. w. w. Blew, Mrs.
James Mitchell. Fred Birmingham and
Dr. R. j. Piedalue.
This is manifestation Of mighty
fine public spirit says Mr.. Brink, and
we surely appreciate the willingness
to serve of all those who have volun-
tered | should like TO state that all
who are willing TO volunteer their
services for this district should notify
either Clerk and Recorder Walter L.
WOLF or myself. Those outside of this
immediate district could notify either
Mr.. Monio or Mr. Millegan and their
names will be turned in when the
boards for the May election are be-
ing appointed. This should be done as
soon as possible for the boards will be
appointed at the next regular meeting
of the county commissioners, on Mon
day, April g.
Volunteers are being asked to serve
at the May election on the basis that
every dollar saved in the cost of the
election will mean two dollars more
that can be spent on building highways
in Montana This money will be
matched by the government on a 56-44
basis
Many other counties in the state are
also calling for citizens to serve as
judges and clerks without pay, and in
dications are that this cost will be
slight, as in many counties they al
ready have volunteers for most of the
precincts An effort is being made
throughout the state to make it as near
100 per cent as possible.

Farm Gardens Will Keep
Down Living Expenses

Recently w. r. Beattie, senior horti-
cultufist of the bureau OF plant in
dustry, United States department OF
agriculture, in nationally broadcast
radio talk on the farm garden, stated
that in every economic crisis through
which the agriculture of any section
Of the country has passed the home
garden and other sources of home food
supply have saved the day
When the boil weevil struck the cot
ton growing sections, MIR Beattie
pointed out, one OF the first steps
taken was to start a campaign for veg
etable gardens, poultry, pigs and cows
on every farm SO that the land would
at least provide a means OF livelihood.
Things haven't changed much and the
same principles apply today. The farm
er however hard times may be for
him, who plants and cultivates his
own garden has form Of insurance
against privation that is denied the
CITY worker. In this respect he is lar
better off than the thousands OF un-
employed in the cities, many Of whom
left the farm at the time of industrial
prosperity and are now looking visit
fully back at the land.
IF everybody engaged in farming,
Mr. Beattie said in his address, will
produce plenty of fruits, vegetables,
milk and butter, poultry and eggs,
home grown and cured pork, also fresh
meats to some extent they can at least
have good living at home and that
is more than lot of people who are
out of employment have today. But,
saws the pessimist, that will only in
crease the difficulty and reduce the
market for foods that are grown in a
large way for sale Perhaps, provided
the farmer has the money with which
to buy the food, but suppose he does
not have the money, what then? As
matter Of fact it is good business and
economy to produce most OF the living
for the farm family and hred help
right on the farm"
In all parts Of the country there are
farsighted agricultural leaders who are
in agreement with MIR. Beattie in
preaching the advantages Of making
the farm as much as possible SELF
sufficing unit; not only in these times
Of agricultural and general economic
depression, but as permanent agrl-
cultural policy. In South Carolina Vir-
ginia, Arkansas and other states, state
wide campaigns to bring about the
planting Of farm gardens are beng
actively pushed. In these campaigns
the agricultural colleges and the state
home demonstration agents are taking
leading part.
A well planted and cared for hall
acre garden will produce more vege-
tables than the average family can eat,
during the period when the crops are
maturing Carrots, late cabbage, beets'
onions, parsnips, potatoes and turnlps
can be grown and stored for use dur
ing the winter, thus cutting the winter
food bills. One acre of garden was
worth as much as 65 acres OF cotton on
farm in Texas last year whose owner
figured that the acre yielded profit
of $500.
It is not only from the point OF view
of cutting the family food bills, how
ever, that the vegetable garden de-
serves place on every farm. So much
has been said and written about VITA

MONTANA GROWN SEED EXCELS
THAT FROM OTHER STATES
So Says Extension Agronomist in Hints
To Alfalfa Growers.

BOHEMIAN, March l6-Montana
farmers who raise alfalfa on either dry
or irrigated land, should plant only
Montana grown seed
That is the recommendation made by
Waldo Kidder, extension agronomist.
after comparing the yields Of several
varieties in test plots Of the various
branches of the Montana Experiment
Station. Montana registered Grimm
yielded Sd tons per acre and Mon
tana common ST. tons at the Bozeman
station under irrigated conditions
Southern grown seed yielded much
less than either Grimm or Montana
common. Two other varieties which
have outyielded southern varieties and
Montana common are Ladak and Cos
sack.
The reason for Montana seed doing
so we'll here is that it has become adj
iusted to Montana conditions and eli
mate. The seed of the Montana vari-
cites which are recommended are espe-
cially hardy and the long time that
they have been grown within the
borders Of the state has intensified this
hardness. All the southern varieties
tested have proved less hardy, says
Mr. Kidder
The hardness and high yielding
quality of Montana grown seed have
gained for it recognition in other states.
States toward the east which do not
have any more severe conditions than
here recognize its superiority and use
it in preference to most other seed.
The continuous seed improvement
work done by the Montana Seed I'M
provement Association has built Mon
tana alfalfa varieties up to a point
where premium is paid for it when
cultivated and handled properly. The
premium has induced registered seed
growers to produce enough Of a sup
ply so that there Is sufficient for state
paintings.
