DEPARTMENT FOR YOUR NEXT ORDER OF STATIONERY. -VOLUME NINE MOORE, FERGUS COUNTY, MONTANA, OCTOBER 9, 1918. •Number U. RALPH W. MILLER LIKES THE BASIN Man From Illinois Here Tells His Views. Ralph W. Miller; of Decatur; Illi- nois, an acquaintance of E. 0. Hed- ria, was in the city the last` of the week. Mr. Miller is a •Linotype operator with . the Review Printing Company_ of Decatur but . is so well pleased with Montana that he may conclude to make this state his future home if he can secure a position. r'l-te has visited other parts of the state but thinks the. Judith T r issin by all odds the best. If I go back home and tell .ray friends, what I have seen ouff' here,\ he said, '\I know they won't believe me. This is without a doubt the finest fanning country I have ev,er seen , and I den't wonder that your people are coriXent to remain in such a prosperous sec- tion. If I can find a situation in ;. this Basin I am going to lave Some of this splendid land and will make' it a paying proposition % too: , Your fanners, are making a milake though in raising so much' wheat and, I be- lieve that if they would milk n few cows and keep hogs they would make more money. This is a real alfalfa country and diversified farming could be carried on with great results. \'Considering the enormous yields in all grains,, raised I think yottr land_ is much more reasopable in price than in some 'other sections t:!tf the state I have visited and if you could only get :tomb of our ;eastern farmers started out this way and let them see this Conritirati l'havel am confident : the - Majority of them would lose no time in selling their high- priced land back there and investing mosil their inoney in real estate around Moore. \From what I have seen 1 have come to the conclusion that your farmers are trying to farm too much ground. They own too large tracts and try to put it all into wheat with the result that they are unable to take care of it as they should. If these tracts wOe divided up into quarter or half sections with a good farmer on each of them the Judith Basin would be even better than it is now and that is saying a great deal. The, altitude here is more than three thousand feet higher than it is in Decatur but 1,like this pure, fresh air and find it agrees with me. Ism strong for Montana, and , particularly he Judith Basin, and ifI can make suitable arrangements you may be sure that I will locate here.\ How Fergus County's Sapphires Are Mined The method Of recovering the stones from the ground of the New Mines Sapphire Syndicate, Yogo, Montana, is rather unusual and Interesting. The matrix contain- ing the stones is an intrusive igne- ous' rack, 4.veathered o a 'yellow clay for a depth of , , approximately 20 feel from the 'surface. 'From this portion the ,sapphires t are eas- ily separated by washing. Below this belt, where the rock is harder, it has been found necessary to dis- integrate it by exposing it in piles to the' weather and wetting pcca- atonally. The ore is placed on in- clined, floors and left for several months during the winter; the fre- quent freezing and thawing causes the lumps to slack and disintegrate. A large, stream of water is then played on the piles and the mater- ial sluiced similarly to placer gold. ---Engineering and Mining Journal. Empire Want Ads PAY. GETS FIFTY DAYS FOR PETIT LARCE J., E. Sault Convicted of Stealing Ten. .Dollar Bill From Depot -- Assistant County Attorney Ap- pears for State at 'Trial. J. E.

The jury found the defendent guilty. leaving the fixing of the sentence to the court. Schull was fined $100 or fifty days in the county jail. Being unable to pay the fine he was taken to the county seat to serve out the sentence. It appears that Schull had called at the express window at the depot on Friday for an express package and pon being notifit d the amount of the mharges, which were $2.00;Aiddron e10, bill, not having sufficient:change to cover the charges.

He met him coming out of the Homestead Bar and inquired if he, Schull, had not Picked up the bill by mistake. Schull replied that he had not and further- more that he did not have a ten dol- lar bill and had not had any other than the one he presented at the de- pot.

A good outside pit or cellar for the •storage of roots and other crops is of great use on the farm. The cellar should have room enough to accomO- daie all the vegetables needed or raised for the winter. • It should have good ventilation, also, and should be built so that the vegetables will never be in danger 'of freezing. An outside cellar is • : more., desirable than the house cellar, because the latter does not provide proper v.lati- lation for successful storage nor is it a healthful place for such a purpose. If time is pressing - or cellar • space is the root , crops and cabbits may be stored in the field; straw 'w- ing laid on the ground, the crops piled in on the straw, more straw added, and, as the piles are gent.rid- ly conical in form, 'dirt applied over the Straw. Other rubbish anti dirt mite lw added as t he weather grows colder. Sonic work is necessary, however, to dig out the stored veg.(- ' fables after the . , layers of dirt have been frozen Bailey in Cornell Reading Courses. .

By this means drouth can be con- quered or its effects reduced. More than sixty per cent of the farm lands in the world get an annual rainfall of less than twenty inceits„ and in many districts the periodical drouth, withering the crop in the growing season, is the farmer's worst fear. The \dry fanning - methods *re needed in these districts, and it is believed any farmer on 'any soil, in any climate, can increase his yields per l i cre and. the quality of his crop. by following them. It is doubtful if the true and pro- per \dry fanning\ methods are prac- ticed, or are even needed, in the Juilith Basin country around Moore for there ;ire fanners here direct from Iowa, Illinois, and other middle web) states, who simply plow goed and 'deep, then harrow and cultivate dili- gently, that never heard the ti tart \dry farming\ until they came VV•'61..

Being a perennial plant, the Canada thistle propagates itself both by its underground parts and its seeds. Tile character of the underground growth Must therefore be understood in order to attack the weed intelligently. Canada.thisties can be eradicated In a comparatively short time with little or no twig in the use of the land. The length 'of time required varies in- versely with the thoroughness of the work. In dealing with the weed the Nil - lowing three rules must'never be lost sight, of: (1) The easiest way Of killing (,1131 , ada thistles is to deprive them of, their tops continually, thus exhaust- ing the roots. There are various methods of keeping clown the tops; there is no one best 'method. Each field presents a problem in itielf and must be handled according to clrenea- stances. Usually some form of glean cultivation is the best, either with a crop or by a bAre fallow. (2) Outline a systematie plan of a' Keep the plan in mind at all times and follow it faithfully.—II. B.
