F ordinary hay stackers can be used for stacking headed grain, but in the west the stackers are often mounted on truck wheels in or- der that the stacker may be pulled easily from setting to setting. Not much extra time is required in put- ting the stacker into operation. If the grain is ripe and dry, large a - ladder faahion. are set lengthwise across the bottom of the stack. The poles are placed on the ground, cleats up, and the stack is built over them The cleats hold the grain away from the ground between the poles and allow air to circulate through the bottom of the stack. Burlap bags ate stuffed with straw and set on the cleats, about six feet apart. A rope is tied to the top of boom Pole 40 iork„, - Ifr afp.s, 1 4 fr - s;9/, above cross tu- - ”ber A commonly used stacker with dimensions. stacks usually are made with the ' stacker and slings.

When headed grain has been stacked around the bags to their tops, the ropes are pulled, thus raising the bags and leaving holes In the stack. If this be continued until the stack is finished there is ventilation across the bottom and through the center of the stack. The objection to these ventilator flues is that it is hard to keep rain from A derrick table on wheels for field threshing. ever, we have observed no way of preventing stack mold where the green tips are numerous in headed grain.

Field Header Threshing. When standing wheat is dry enough, it may be threshed direct from the header boxes without much addition to the crew, if the grain car be run into field granaries or other- wise taken care of quickly. Such an outfit, while it requires a much larg- er crew than does a combine, ap- proaches it in efficiency more nearly than does any other method of threshing.

OPENS UP NEW TERRITORY Several Trainloads of Prospective Settlers Will Be Brought From East, Officials of Railway Company Asserts; New Town Will Be Start- ed in Area. In the opinion of George W. Cook, state land agent at Helena, prospects are very bright for the sale of a large portion of the state's large land holdings in Daniels and Valley counties. The state land board has ordered a general sale of the state's 241,- 345.48 acres in Daniels county and as much of the 232,663.68 acres in Valley county as is thought desira- ble to include, as oson as the formal- ities can be complied with. This means the latter part of September at the earliest says Registrar I. M. Brandjord, for all the land must be appraised and must be advertised for four weeks.

Several trainloads of prospective settlers will come out, railway officials predict. Two new towns are contemplated along the railway line. One, says Mr. Cook, is to be named Peerless. The other, the name of which he did not recall, is to be situated at the cross- ing of the west fork of the Poplar river. Farming conditions this year and for the past few years make a good argument for prospective settlers, Mr. Cook believes. He has just re- turned from that section. Crops have not been badly injured by the hot weether, he says, estimating that the increased acreage in wheat and flax bring the total returns for that dis- trict this year to a mark equal or greater than last year.

The \Double header\ crew show.. in the outfit illustrated consists of the following: Two 12 or 14 -foot headers. Four header boxes, compartment sling type. Two header box loaders. Three hoe-down men on the der- rick table. Two work while the third rests. One boy to drive the derrick team. One seperator man and engine ten- der. One 3:46 seperator. This outfit cuts and threshes, it is a little more expensive than , •ombining but that it puts the straw Ai in one place and permits the use of field graneries. In years when the yield is light it probably is more economical to stack and thresh in the regular manner, because this method requires too many headers to keep the thresher going at full capacity. Sometimes one small sep- orator is used in connection with three header boxes, the grain being pitched by the header box driver and by a spike pitcher into the self -feed- er of the thresher . The Avery -Header -Thresher. Some farmers show interest in the Rolling the load from the header box onto the derrick table. from 55 to 60 acres per day in me- dium grain. It will be noted that compartment header boxes are used, on which nets are permanently at- tached to the upper sides of the box. The header box is driven up to the derrick table and the load in the net is rolled out upon the hopper of the table. A hook is connected from the wire cable to the ring on the net at the lower side of the box for dumping. The derrick table hop- per is in this way given a header box load of grain dumped In one pile Avery header -thresher which harvests and threshes in one operation. One man drives the tractor or horses, an- other guides the header and a third takes care of the threshed grain in the wagon box and looks after the operation of the header -thresher. A standard header of any make can be used in the outfit. A motor for driv- ing the thresher is mounted in front. The thresher and grain wagon are pulled either by tractor or by horse power.

Since the thresher is of medum size and driven by a tractor, often •)ne man will attend to both if they re both in good working order. Aside from the work required to attend the sewrator-tractor and dispose of the grain, this crew threshes with about the same number of men that would be used if two header crews were operated and the grain hand pitched to the stack, as is commonly done in Montana at the present time. If a small seperator be used a sin- gle header crew will be very econom- ical. Two header boxes, one loner and one or two hoe-down men can be cut off of the crew but, of course, less grain can be handled each day. of the club. Grain disposal is not discussed for either of these crews. Usually field granaries are used to hold part of the grain at each setting, the remain der being hauled to the permanent granery.

A FAIR LIKE WE USED TO HAVE NUMBER AND QUALITY OF THE EXHIBITS ENTERED WILL EXCELL OLD TIMES Agricultural and Livestock Exhibi- tions Prime Feature; All State's Resources will Be Exploited; Real Racing Program. If the number and the quality of the exhibits entered at the fair are influenced by the cash pre- MIUMS offered, the Montana State Fair that begins Labor Day at Helena, will exeell all its prede- cessors. This is to be an Old Time Fair— 'A Fair Like We Used To Have'— states the Montana State Fair As- sociation in announcing the big ex- position. \While agricultural and livestock exhibitions will be a prime feature,\ continues the announcement, \it is Intended that all the varied and won- derful resources of the state shall be displayed to advantage. It will be a reflex in miniature of the Treas- ure State. \Arrangements are all perfected for entertainment for the people who attend, Tore varied and attractive than ever before. A feature long omitted at our State Fairs (and to the regret of so many) will be re- newed. It will savor of the good old days. Reference is had to the program of running races. Several strings of horses famous on the west- ern turf are booked, and this will be a big feature every day. Fine Race Program. \They're Off! They're Off! And the pavilion and bleachers, as well as every available apace near and about the judges' stand, will buzz with in- terest and excitement. Come, then, prepare to enjoy the racing, which will be a highlight attraction of this meeting.\ Cash premiums aggregating more than $20,000 will be awarded win- ners. The 143 page closely printed premium list covers every product of the farm, the livestock grower. and the horticulturist; of the culinary and domestic products, the schools, and boys' and girls' club work. So varied is the premium list that there are but few persons in the state but who could compete for one prize or another. The owner of the oldest car of a certain make, for instance, who brings the machine to the fair grounds, has a chance to win $25 in caslLor a credit account of $100. Tre are many special cash priz- es: for the best display of sugar beets; the fattest steer; the largest cabbage; the best display of peas; ten prizes for the best photographic picture slides of dairy herds, and in- dividual dairy animals; for the bu- shel of the largest potatoes; $20 for the best bushel of Netted Gem and $25 for the best bushel of Triumph potatoes. The various breed associa- tions are offering special prizes; in fact, in every division there are scores of worth -while prizes. County Collective Exhibits. The county collective exhibits. which were dropped several years ago, have been restored. A first prize of $300 goes to the county making the best collective exhibit of sheaf and' threshed grains, forage crops and grasses, potatoes, 'corn, vegetable and root &ops and fruit. A prize of $200 goes to the second best and $100 to the county making the third best display. In addition to the cash prizes, six trophy cups will be awarded the county making the best showing in one of the six divisions receiving the trophy cup for that division even though the county is outranked on the county collec- tive display as a whole. This gives counties that have spec- ialized on the growing of certain crops, prestige/ and publicity of the utmost value to them. State Is Divided. The district display specials, of- fered to stimulate competition among individual farmers, will pro- bably attract more attention than any other of the farm product class- es. The state has been divided into two districts. The two tistricts will not compete against each other, but the exhibitors from District one will compete against one another, and likewise in District two. District one consists of Petroleum, Richland, Flathead, Lincoln, Gar- field, Cascade, Mc Cone, Judith Ba- sin, Lewis and Clark, Sheridan, Roosevelt, Daniels, Blaine, Hill, Lib- erty, Toole, Glacier, Pondera, Cho- teau, Teton, Fergus and Valley coun- ties District Number two consists of the remaining counties. There are ten classes in the dis- trict display specials, with three cash prizes in each class. There will be two lists of winners in each class, one from District Number one and the other list from District Number two. The classes and the cash pri- zes are: For the beat display of nine sheaves of Grain, three sheaves each of the following: hard Red Winter Wheat—White Oats— Hulled Barley. First prize 15; Second prize $10; Third prize $5. For the best display of nine sheave of Grain, three sheaves each of the following; NI11 ri tits iVheat—Hulled Barley—Emmer.

For the best display of four sheaves, two each of the following: Slender Wheat _crested Wheat Grass. First prize $10; Second prize VS: Third prize $2.50. One of the big features of the fair, so far as Montana flockmasters are concerned, will be the seventh annual ram sale, which wirl be held Wednesday morning, September 9. Sheepmen from all parts of the state annually take in the fair so as to look over the offerings of rams and make such purposes as are needed for their next season's oper- atfcrns. Practically all the important grow- ers of breeding stock in the state, annually enter many rams to be dis- posed of at the sale, which has be- come increasingly popular with both the breeders of rams and the range operators who cannot well grow their own bucks.
