Much of the Plowing 'that is done in the western Dakotas and Mon- tana is nothing Mime of a menace to the immediate future of crop pro- duction, because of its wretched character, says Prof, 'Thos. Shaw., Some of the poor plowing Is done by ehe farmers titeauseilive-s, but niore, much more of it is done by those who use power views and do the 'work at so maga per acre. Match of he work that these mem do is alma). ly wretched in eltranoter. No milkier term will fitly apply to it. The land plowed Is 4nrned over in pant by the mould1boa:n(1 pllow-s and in part by disk Plows.

The occasion was the -holding of a !monster picnic of two or three thous- and people 'at the farm. Two power -.Pews were at rwork. One was a rmouldboand and the other a disk plow. What Was the character of the work done'? The mouldboard 'plow turned 'the sad over at depths 'varying from two to six inches. In some places there were two skips. 'Some of the furrows were thrown\ over quite on top of the furrows crown of earth and a depression of earth alongnLd of It, suoh as - would cat' for great labor to put it 'in an evert condition, arid when so evened, -many sods would lie cet the 4urfam In a Way that -wouid inter- fere wirth the harrowing cif the grain renop that follows. The , dielk plow bad torn the sad Into I ttraew slices of 'varying depths and lengths. Some kf these lay with the grass side down and some with the grass side up.

Purcell cit Helleni is taking up with he other viny:ors of cities and towns throughout Montana 'tlhe ques- tion, of holding a meeting in this city dittoing the coming seashell of the legislature and suggests that the meeting be held beigiuning Wed- nesday, January 15, It is Mayor PumeelVs idea that such a confer- (.nce would result in much good and would be trainable as an aid to the 'members of the legislature in the enactment of laws which are *cod- ed, the amendment of such as are not satitsfastetry, and the aboliele anent of 'certain statutes which are '3onis4dered by many to be unwise an undesirable. The weeder:In of loading such a meeting in kite capital city during the Bastion of the ieglislarture is ap- parent for the reason that the mayors may bare an opportunity of meeting .inernhers of the legislatune in person, and of explaining their individual reasons for or against cer- taih la,wc, In this way influencing 'the inetilding of legislation favorable to the different cities and towns of the state. As yet re:Pile's from) the mayors of other cities cif the state have 'riot been' receined o EXHIBIT CAR AT LEWISTOWN The height of effective publicity work in the interest elf the agnicul- Iturall possibilities' of the nonthwest appears to have been, reached by the ihnimigration bureau of the Chicago, 'Milwaukee & Pulget Sound (railway by Its system of \exhibit cans\ac- - comeanied by lecturees, which are operated' throu.gbout the eastern and Middle weetern state*, albeit* latest car of this character 'wilt be *blown in this city at the !Milwaukee .passenger station' Thurs- day, December 19, and the public (has been extended a. cordial invita- tion to visit the car and inspect the 'handsome display of products, . exhibit ears are fitted up 'and operated lin, the east at a heavy ax.pense, -for the sole 'purpose of demianstrating to the farmers of that possibilities of the great northwest.

PARK -TO -PARK ROAD The question of a Park -to -Park highway will be discussed at a meet- ing of the LIV.ingston . 'Comanerciall club in the- .ne-ar' future, says the Livingston Enterprise. Many routes 'for the new automobile highway be- tween the Land of Geysers and the Land of Glaciers are proposed, and the Livingston Commercial club and the Park County Arutoaniabille climb are awakening to the necessity of seeing that Livingston remains On the +route. At least three routes have been suggested and two of these inscilude Livingston on the road. One of them runs from Livingston .Bozeman nnd then north, while one rruns north from Livingston, through Clyde Park Wilsall and then through Great Falls. One starting from Yellowtstone - has been suggested, but it is very improbable. J. F. Alspaugh is a !memlber of the state board of direta tors having the question under ad- visement and the board has alrendiy 'voted- to have the road run foam Candler to Liviaigiston and then to . Bozeman, but this is as tar as the road has been definiterba decided • upon. Frank Krug arrived here from Miles City lost week amid hes otao• coated a potailtion at the Mederna. Barber Shop.
