The l'a.amers Elevator :company ex pect a ear of Marquis wheat Ito arrive within the next two tweeks and it wil be immediately delivered' to permeates- ers. They are bringing it here and dealing it out at ate/Will cbst, sans the duty and freight, and do the ha:editing 'at their own exPense. The idea with therm is to keep out the poorer weeat and have the local farmers raise only the best. They are doling the earning - nifty a .service in ,making this new' Wheat 'available at +low cost. Spring v./heat is gulag to be one *of the big crops in the Judith Basin this year, and many farmers are de- sircus• of trying the new Marquis va- riety, which proved vegy satisfact- ory wherever tried here last year.. The Marquis seems to give a some- what better yield that other varieties of 'wheat, hence' its' introduction inl this vicinity. It does not shell so easily and matures about two weeks earlier. For milting :purposes it is equal to the best. The Marquis is a Canadian wheat that has rarnved its adaptibility to Montana soil and den- ote. , e _Jesee,?„ e ,Waliter .

'Montana is extremely liber- al in premiums advertised, as cow - pared with other state fairs, and this is one of the particular reasons that 'at the Montana' State Fair there were more agricultural entries than ht any other state fair or exposition In the United States last year, Of a totat ot 9,323 entries at the 1913 fair, just a *tile less than half were in the agricultural seetion. The management announces that in addition to the regular .prizes, they expect . to offer a series of special cash and merohantddee premiums sim- ilar to those offered the last sever- al years. for wheat, oats, bee . lery, rye, flax, alfalfa, etc. 'These will be an- nounced ii. the regular premium cat- ellogue issued June 1st.

Coin - mite was successful from every nolet of view. The attendance was large; the enthesineen inspiring; the minters harmonious. One of the finest, inliportant matters to come be - 'fore ithe abate committee had to do with . the' policy of the suffragists. Alter mature deliberation all the Intern/bens dedde.d that the suffra- gists throughout the . state +must wore 'along 'the lines of the national. Another of the problems up for 'consideration at the' meeting was the teirmetaign funds. As there are no ealltd•idetes to assess, and as the en - 'tire work is educational, the women realized that strenous efforts have to be made to secure funds, at the rare - test +postale date. As one wo- iintan said; .\It we do not raise this money to buy literature, to shed org- ernizers into the various dist‘ricts, to get speakers to present suffrage argue tiitekes and reach all the voters of the slate, in fate to show the veterti 'that we women want suffrage, the linen will declare that we do 'not rwant 1, itizeriship and vote against us.
