FRIDAY, SEPT. 24, 1909. NUMBER 32 The Conrad Cup Billing, Sept. 23.—In tne name of the stateof Montana, one of her leading bankers and develor- ment promoters will offer a trophy cup to be awarded for the best collective state exhibit displayed at the International Dry Panning Exposition at Billings, October 25-29, in connection with the Fourth Dry Farming Congress, October. 28-28. W. G. Conrad of Great Falls is the citizen who has generously offered -this cup Mr Conrad - is the head of the Conrad banks which are among the leading fi- nancial institutions of the state. He is interested in the agricultural developement of Montana, having extensive holdings in Cascade, To ton, Choteau and other counties. There is a town in Teton county named after him and largely to him is due the credit for the organization of one of the great irrigation enterprises of the northerh central part of the state. 'While he is an irrigetionist by force of circumstances, he has shown great interest in the devel- opement of the dry farming po.s- sibilities of the state and has given this substantial evidence of his in- dorsement of the work of the Dry Farming Congress. .`Trbe cup Mr. Conr - ad has given will be one of the handsomest trophies ever awarded at an agri• cultural exposition. On one side of it will be engraved tpe great seal of the'state and on the other. the official seal of the Dry Farm- ing Congress. The cup will be modeled on highly artistic lines and will be worthy in every way of being given as a state award. Montana will be barred from com- petition for this cup. At a meeting of the executive committee of the Montana Board of Control of the 'Congress this week, plans were completed for the co-operation of the Elks with the Board of Control in the enter- tainment of the delegates and vis- itors to Billings during the week of the congress. The Billings Lodge will hold a fair beginning Sunday night, October 24 and continuing one week. Elk lodges in other cities of the state will be invited to send delegations to the fair and to participate in the street pageant which will take plfwe Monday night preceding the 'opening of the sessions of the Congress. This parade will be an illuminated pageant, including decorated floats And unique features. The Caka,have leased the Coli- seum and will erect a stage in one end. Continuous vaudeville, with a change of program every night will be the feature of the enter- tainment. The , Elks will also co-operate with the decoration committee in beautifying the city. An allurnin- ated welcome arch will be erected at the depot. The Elks will assist the reception committee of the board in welcoming the delegates to the Dry Farming Congress. While the Elks' fair is being planned for increasing the local lodge building fund, the delegates to the congress will not be asked to contribute. The Elks have en- tered into the affair with the spirit of hospitality foremost in . their minds. When ithe delegates to the Dry Farming Congress regis- ter at the headquarters, they will receive, with their credentials, a season ticket to 'the Elks' fair, which will entitle them to free ad. mission to the 'Coliseum during the week., The Second regiment band has been engaged for Congress week' and will play at all sessions of the congress and at the Elks' fair every evening. GEORGE ii. SWAN. Preparing for an Alfalfa Stand I have been asked as to how to prepare a field for alfalfa, a field which was broken and sown to macaroni wheat last year and is now ill fair condition . . The in- quirer says lie intends to break it 9 inches deep. This should sot be done, as 7 inahes. will • be- Quite deep enough. Were we prepar- ing this land for alfalfa we would double disk the land, keeping the surface two to three inches loose and keep the weeds down until about the first of Jury, then plow seven inches deep, follow the plow as close as may be practical with the subsurface packer. Keep about two inches of the top soil loose by cultivation, at times, and often enough to keep the weeds out and prevent any crust form. ing under the mulch, and put in your seed about August 25th. or should you get a heavy rain nny time from August 1st, to 25th, loosen the surface as somcks you can get onto the land and not have the soil stick, and put in your seed at once with a drill, putting the seed about 1- to inch into the firm soil as near as possible. If you have done your work thoroughly and have used good seed, you can bank on a stand, providing another heavy rain does not follow just as the plants are coming through.—H. W. Campbell. Near, Hear! A pertinent and timely inquiry bearing on the mail older pro- position is in the speculation as to what sort of a community it would be whose every citizen sent his money off to the mail-order-boll/les. Whatever his excuses may be, the man who spends his money out of town is bound in the final analysis to admit that he owes the comfort, profit and convenience of his life in the community to the fact that other people do not do What he does. The crafty mail order or Chicago store patron in Forsyth' enjoys school and government and street and church privileges by reason of the fact that other people are spending their money at home—and he is by just so much sponging the !advantages which he has not himself the fore- thought or the loyalty to provide. The same argument, exactly, applies to the mail order patron in the country—for though he may delude himself with the belief that he is saving money and suffer- ing no disadvantage from sending his money for the socalled bar gains, what condition can be pictured out of a universal country patronage of mail order concernst His highways, schools, churches; his home market and the value of his land, would tell the story of neglect. The possibility of hiding the losses of patronizing the for- eign dealer depends altogether on how far the neighbors will go in keeping things up at home.
