RECOMMENDED
WINTER WHEAT VARIETIES

With winter wheat seeding
time lust around the corner,
growers are reminded by Ralph
D. Mercer, extension agronomlst
at Montana State college, apout
the four standard varieties re-
commended for Montana.
These varieties are Yogo, kar.
mont, Newturk and Montana 50
Each has proven itself adapteo
to Montana soil and cllmatlc
conditions through extensive
tests in experiment station plots
and in commercial production.
Of these four varieties, Yogo
is especially recommended be-
cause of its exceptional WINTER
hardness. resistance to smut
and the fact that it Is a con
sistent high yielder. During the
past eight years of testing at
the three agronomic experiment
stations in the state, Yogo has
Welded from 7 to 9 percent more
Der acre than any of the other
recommended varieties.
All of these varieties, with the
exception of Newturk. are bear
ded wheats. Montana SO is best
adapted to the winter wheat
sections of southern Montana.
Karmont is adapted and grown
most widely in the winter wheat
sections of central and north
central Montana. Yogo is more
widely adapted to all winter
wheat areas of the state than
any of the other varieties. New
turk is adapted to all winter
wheat areas of the state but is
important only when a beard
less variety is desired.
AS to time of seeding winter
wheat, Mercer says that expert
ment stations tests show that
the period from September 20
to October S is the best time to
seed wintr wheat in the north
central part of the state.

SAGE and SOIL
By Mrs. Poul Schuuer

The dog has a terrible case
of boredom these days.
The older youngsters are gone
most of the time.
He shifts about the daught-
er's room, stands at her win
dow, and looks generally for
olrn. Then he goes and drags
out the oldest ones old shoes,
AMI looks about as though !
should say "abracadabra," and
there he would be.
Bill and the dog have never
been the best of friends. I ra-
ther think Bill is just too much
for canine middle age.
The accident that claimed the
life Of one of the dearly beloved
children of the country side left
me numb. Words failed me, as
they do when my own demand
to do this or that, just for fun.
I sigh a breathless prayer to
remember they were sweetly
young, just as yours and mine.
I think there is nothing more
delicious than a September af-
ternoon. It is more d%electable,
I think, when there is so much
to do, and htill the sun COM
pels you to stand for just a
moment.

I just read a real article on
the little things that count in
life. To save my soul, I can't
remember a lot of the larger
gifts made me, but truly I think
a lot of the kind word people
have spoken softly.

be squeezed in some place.

So I rented vacant store, hired an
unemployed bricklayer and started
Americas first college of bricklay-
ing. 1t didn't last long because the
| union wouldn't recognize the di-
plomas of my graduates. But it
was fun while it lasted.
Money for "Mikado."
Year before last I visited one OF
those night clubs where they had
| what they called "the-girl-in-the-
| flshbowl." This was merely an old
illusion where reducing mirrors are
used to make the girl appear to be
about inches high. I got the idea
of doing a switch" on the old
| theme. I made up little bungalows
and. when folks looked through the
windows they saw-instead Of a
girl-a miniature Santa Claus busi-
ly building toys.
/ These were sold from coast to
coast and displayed in theater lob
bies and department stores. They
were called Kute Kris Krinkle.
Maybe you saw one. Anyway, this
gave the kiddies a lot of pleasure
and I made enough money to pro-
duce Hot Mikado" with Bill Rob-
inson.
Hot Mikado" was modern swing
version of the Gilbert and Sullivan
classic with an all-colored cast. 1t
opened on Broadway and was a
big success with a $3.50 admission
charge. Although Broadway's wise
men told me was crazy, moved
the show to the Worlds Fair last
summer and reduced the price to
40 cents. I figured that by play
ing to 10 times as many people I
could make more money at 40 cents
than I could at $3.50. Fortunately
I was right and the show played
to more than a million people before
leaving on coast-to-coast tour that
broke all records.
Plus Gypsy Rose.
This year at the fair I am re-
peating my theory, and it is still
working out. Gay New Orleans" has
three big Broadway shows, with
plenty Of stars, and a cast of 200,
all for Is cents. New York critics
called it Americas biggest quarters
worth" Streets of Paris" ran for
year on Broadway at $40, but I
took it to the fair (and even added
Gypsy Rose Lee) and am selling, it
for 40 cents. In Dancing Campus"
I am giving the jitterbugs two name
dance bands for a quarter. and they
can dance all day and night if they
like.
These three shows have already
played to 100000 people since the
fair opened and will play to TO-
100000 more before it closes. Low
prices made them profitable and peo-
pie appreciate getting more than
their moneys worth. You can't fool
the public any more, and show
business tactics were bound to
change. I am glad that could help
lead the way. Next fall I am going
to do big revue on Broadway. 1t
isn't written yet, but when it opens
you can depend upon 1t that 1t will
try to play to the greatest possible
number of people at the lowest pos
sible price. I am going to have
fun producing it.

Overman was in one of his most
melancholy moods. AS a reward for
his performance in an unreleased
epic, Northwest Mounted Police, "
he had just been rewarded with a

it away in an inside pocket.

sigh, that 1t is high time got out
of this movie business and into
something-wen, more substantial.

get into line that's up and coming.
You know. something with a fu-

you, but enough to give me a good
working idea as to what's what
and, confdentially, I wouldn't be
surprised if I have got something.
What I mean is this here poll

in there with the statistics to show
you what the public thinks about
Willkie. or Roosevelt, or F. H. A., or
double bills. or the automatic clutch,
or Jack Benny or some other bone
of contention.
II understand that some of the
biggest businessmen in the coun-
try won't make a movie without con-
sulting those babies. Gallup was
almost exactly right about Roose-
welt last time. although politics is
a gamble. And he hit Maine and
Vermont right on the nose.

II wrote down a list of things
that the public undoubtedly has de-
cided about-if 1t thinks about them
at all-and which the Poll Kings

pocket and came forth with a piece
of wrapping paper. He read from
it:

Maybe we'd better take No. 10
