r IsTORIC Virginia, State of
scenic beauty and romance,
again this year will throw its
4 l. magnificent gardens open to
the public, promising a rare treat to
the many lovers of flowers, shrubs and
beautiful old trees.
Sponsored by the Garden Club of
Virginia with headquarters in the JEFF
, ferson Hotel at Richmond the week of
April 81 to May has been designated
as garden week, and if last year can
be taken as criterion, thousands Of
will make pilgrimage to the shrines
of the old days now perpetuated in
colorful glory Along with the flow
cred estates now in the splendor of
Spring, many old homes likewise will
be opened for inspection.
Garry Me Back to Ole Virginny'
will be the theme song next week, as
these displays, beginning just across
the Potomac from Washington and
continuing throughout the length and
, breadth of the State, will be on view.
Each Spring beauty comes back to
the earth, and each Spring the Gar
den Club Of Virginia makes it posi-
BILE for all to enjoy the beauty OF
garden week in the Old Dominion.
No more gracious act can be imag-
ined than the owners of these gar
dens and homes in giving permission
to the Garden Club to show them.
The last week in April is chosen as
garden week in Virginia because the
study of old almanacs and weather
records reveals that clear weather
usually prevails at that time.
The Garden Club of Virginia, made
up of 27 local units. has representa-
tives at every show place. These rep
resentatives furnish information about
the places and, in some cases, collect
a small admission fee. The garden
clubs also have included in their list
Of places of beauty some of the States
quaint old churches and museums.
The churches are shown free and a
small fee is charged at the museums.
The proceeds 60 into fund used for
restoring publicly owned historic gar
dens. Gardens thus restored are those
of Stratford, home of the Lees; Ken
more, home of Fielding and Betty
Lewis, and the Manse, birthplace of
Woodrow Wilson; planting has been
done around the Washington and Lee
Chapel, Wilton, home of the Randolphs,
and the old Rolfe place.
U7rTH few exceptions, these fasci-
wv mating old homes are now open
to the general public at any other time
during the year. The architecture Of
these houses calls forth admiration
for the bygone builders, while their
gardens delight with some of the finest
and most extensive lockwood in Amer
ica.

Miles City Police
Hold Crying Meet

There was q bunch Of cry-babies
at the Miles City police station .
few days ag0-an over the city hall,
for that matter.
George Morgan, representative of
q police supply firm, opened his
sample case at police headquarters
to display his stock. As he lifted
out q tray Of tear gas equipment,
n Of the pistol-tyPe guns fell to
the floor and q shell of tear gas
exploded.
The gas spattered against police
gun cases and drove Chief Joe Sui
Ivan, Officer George Morris and
the salesman into the open post
haste. Drawing the fumes, Morgan
grabbed some towels, wiped the
gas from the floor and gun cases
and opened the windows. But the
gas penetrated into the hall and
drove out the city clerk and city
treasurer.
So powerful were the fumes that
three hours later callers at the city
hall were surprised to find them
selves crying, apparently for no
reason at all.

Final Draft Of New Regulations Covering
Agricultural Conservation Program for.
Region Including Montana Is Announced
(MONTANA STATE COLLEGE)

MONIANA STATE COLLENE'
The final draft of new regula-
tons covering the agricultural con-
servation program in the western
region. which includes Montana,
has been received by J. c. Taylor,
director of extension at Montana
State college. Included in the west
ern region regulations received
from Washington are many of the
recommendations made at Montana
district and state meetings, Director
Taylor said.
The soil building practices recon-
mended in Montana are not listed"
Taylor explained. This is because the
program provides that each state must
recommend its own soil building prac-
tlces n the rate of pay for each. The
recommendations have been made for
Montana and have been sent to the
secretary of agriculture for his ap-
prevail"
In Taylor'S opinion the new rcgula-
tons are more embracing and simplify
the program somewhat. One change
that slmplifies the program greatly is
the combining OF soil conserving and
soil building crops into one group called
soil conserving crops. Payments for
divertlng acreage of soil depicting crops
to SOIL conserving crops are now deSig-
mated as Glass I payments, while pay
mentS for carrying out soil building
practices are now designated as Glass II
payments.
Since farmers in this state are pri-
marlly interested in the designation of
crops. so they can determine their
eligibility, Taylor lists the new CLASH
tlcation for the western region as Of
flclally approved. The soil depicting
crops are:
Corn field, sweet and POPCORN. cot
ton. tobacco, potatoes. sweet potatoes.
sugar beetS, hemp, cultivated Sunilow-
erS. commercial mustard. hops, arti-
chokes. bulbs, rape; truck and vege-
table crops and their seed. melons and
strawberries; peanuts. if harvested as

"And what kind of a room will
you have?" asked a clerk at a Butte
hotel a few days ago after a guest
had written his name on the reg
liter.
20 something like 1 had the last
time," was the dead serious reply.
This gave the clerk something to
think about. Was the man a f,e-
quent guest in the house, and
should he have known him when
he stepped to the desk?
Doing the best he could to cover
up" the clerk finally fixed his man
up and sent him IN his way to the
elevator, not letting on that he
positively could net remember ever
having seer him before.
Then the clerk went to the rec
crds. He found that the man had
been in the hotel once before, seven
years ago. The records also showed
that he was from a small town,
many miles from q railroad.

Farmers and ranchers who nor
mally produce hay beyond their
own requirements should have a
direct interest in the official hay
standards which have been pro-
.mulgated by the U. s. department
Of agriculture, according to Clyde
Eartment at Montana State college.
StHcsmen "ho buy considerable hay
during the year are becoming more
particular in specifying federal GRADES
when purchasing hay and are also be-
comlrC more insistent that the shipper
furnish a complete FEDERAL hay in

hay meets the requirement Of the grade
specified. Mckee said.
To grade u. S. No. l, hay cannot
contain in excess of so percent Of for
eign material and not more than 10
percent to grade No. 2. Obviously, Nc

hay. and now is a good time for the hay
nfoducer to inspect his meadows and
