Tomato Growers Fearful

However. the water encourages
rust and certain other diseases that
attack wheat. but discourages the
chinch bug. which attacks wheat and
corn as well. and which constituted
major farm problem last year.
The chinch bug was counted early
this year and found to be more
populous than last, even.
Tomato growers are in a minor
quandary over the rains. but there
is likely to be no serious loss.
They haven't been able to set the
plants as they came to them from
the canning companies, and the
work will come all at once when the
ground gets in shape. Tomatoes

Soil Is Soaked

The rains have soaked the sub
soil, which has been notably thirsty
from three years of drought. Corn
needs that moisture, and it also
needs hot weather, which it will get
almost as soon as 1t is planted this
year.
There we're 1s72OOO acres of
wheat planted as of May /, accord
ing to the calculations of Purdue
University
The average yield this year is cal
culated to be around n bushels to
the acre. That viii make the crop
81 1924 600 bushels. whereas the aver
age crop is about 100000. Wheat
is selling at a good price, too, and
the price is likely to be good at
harvest.

FORT PECK DAM CONSTRUCTION
DUE TO WHEELER'S INFLUENCE

1.-THE Fort Peck is the keystone OF
he arch OF the development OF the
whole Missouri river valley. To Sen
Rtor B. K. Wheeler belongs the credit
for having brought the matter to Pres
ident Roosevelt's attention in such a
way that the president ordered the
project"
This was the assertion of Arthur j.
Weaver, republican, former governor
OF Nebraska, when he took the stump
in the interests of the campaign Of
Senator Wheeler. Former Governor
Weaver came to Montana when he
learned that the republican candidate,
George M. BourQuin, had declared the
gigantic project of no permanent value
to Montana.
1.-The advantages Of the Fort Peck
project are many" Mr.. Weaver said in
an interview. He spoke with the

authority of being president OF the
Missouri River Navigation association,
a directo. OF the Missouri River Valley
Development association and a direc-
tor Of the Great Lakes-St Lawrence
Tidewater association.
Fort Peck is a national project.
The direct benefits are apparent. One
of the most significant direct benefits
is that the policy now laid out by the
Roosevelt administration gives a prec-
edent from which many local and
lesser projects, each of them import
ant, will follow in the development
program the federal government is
undertaking.
1.-THE fact that Fort Peck exists at
all and the fact that the great dam
and reservoir will be In Montana are
due primarily to the efforts Of Senator
Wheeler"

EXECUTION MEANS LITTLE
TO NEGRO GRAvE-ROBBEH

| James Coyner, negro grave-robber
of Jackson, Miss, win die by hanging
this week, and thereby pay with his
life for his crimes. He has not only
robbed graves of the dead, but he
has committed murder and then cut
the dead bodies into pieces and sailed
them away as if they were pork.
Teeth prints were found on parts of
the human flesh of his victims thus
treated.
Coyner's fate is troubling him lit
tie, however, and he claims that he is
ready to join the dead with whom he
trifed in his lifetime.
He is certain he was born and de-
stined for death on the gallows Tues
day morning, March 5, 1885, if that's
the way he must go. Or if mob.
should seize and lynch him before
guards can reach Cleveland, Miss,
for the execution, he thinks that
would be as it was ordained, too.
He thinks his life, and all lives,
are planned in advance for us. He
isn't sure who plans them. He doesn't
believe in God.
Armed guards will accompany the
prisoner from Jackson to prevent an
outbreak of the shocked citizens. The
town will be turned into an armed
camp. Machine gun nests will be set
up at several strategic points about
the courthouse. Soldiers will be sup
piled with gas bombs, in addition to
other arms.
Sheriff E. r. Mclean will spring
the death trap. Only county officials
and minister will be permitted in
side barbed wire entanglements that
will surround the courthouse.
