STUDY BRAIN OF LENIN
•ml* -__
Dr Oskar Vogt ,of the Kaiser Wil
helm Institute for Brain Studies, in
Berlin, has been making a thorough
examination and study of the brain of
Nikolay Lenin, leader of the Russian
revolution. The scientist cut from
the gray matter of Lenin's brain
than 30,000 separate thin
suitable for examination under
erful microscope. This brain was re
markable, declared Dr. Vogt in a lec
fw at. Moscow on the structure of
the brain of the world-famous revolu
tionist. It was remarkable for the
unusually large size of the cells in its
gray matter and for the exceptional
development of the "pyramidal layer"
which is a part of the brain supposed
to contain the higher faculties. Evi
dence also indicates that the connec
tions between different cells were ex
ceptionaHy perfect and plentiful.—

cap the home boys won the first half
by a score of 10 to 9, but lost the
final half by 6 points.
1 ^ r * p * be home boys discov
ered that very few towns have the
nne hall to play and practice in that
Plentywood boasts of, and the small
nails with low ceilings are a great
handicap to players used to passing
long distances and having plenty of
room for team work.
.Some of the teams played on the
trip will play return games in Plen
tywood and
every basketball fan
should make it his business to be
there and support the home boys.
It takes a good deal of money to fin
ance these teams from long distances
and your financial help will greatly
aid the home boys in putting on these
contests.
The Plentywood basketball team
was invited to attend a tournament
being staged by the basketball teams
in the section of the state which they
toured. The tournament will be held
at Alexandria.
Another suggestion from a business
man in Plentywood for the good of
the team and the city is for vari
ous business houses to buy sweaters
^ or members of the looal team
with the name of their business m
prrihed thereon. This is a good adver
tisinf ' feature and would pav the en

MONTANA LOOKS TO
WINTER WHEAT AND
OTHER SMALL GRAINS
Helena.—With 909,000 acres of land
seeded to winter wheat this fall, an
increase Q f 28% over last year's plan
ing and a 1927 production record of
13,750,000 bushels, the 13th largest
production in the nation, and with an
exhibit of Montana hard red wniter
wheat winning the world's
stakes at the International Grain and
Hay Show, Montana looks to winter
wheat and fall sowed grains in gen
eral to become one of th emainstays
Q f future agricultural development.
This year Montana farmers planted
more winter wheat than ever before,
even in the boom years of 1915-10-17
when 840,000 acres was the recoid set
i n 1915, Acreages steadily reduced
through the next ten years to a little
over 300,000 acres in 1922 due to re
peated failures in some of the heavi
est producing territories.
Students of -Montana agricultural jj
conditions aver that dependable wint-1
e r wheat crops would go a long way
toward forming a solution to the:
problems of the dry land farmer, but
| dependable crops would mean that
1 loss from winterkilling and soil blow
ing could be eliminated. Until re
| cently there was no successful method
0 f eliminating these losses. Now,
i however, both in central Montana ami
in the "Triangle" farmers declare that
an agency for eliminating losses in
! winter wheat has been definitely es
j tablished' in the "furrow drill". "Al-1
! ternate summer fallowing and plant
; ing w j t ^ (] ie f urrow drill" is declared
! by Montana experiment stateions to
sweep
be the way to produce successful
er wheat crops in this state. In view
0 f this conclusion and of the increas
ing interest over the state in fall sow
ed grains, â description of the furoow
drill, its use and how it works is of
interest to Montana people who would
kee P posted on the progress of the
Treasure State, says the state publici
tv office.
"A furrow drill", says Clyde McKee
the Montana extension service, "is
one which has been designed so as toi
plant the grain in furrows which are
deeper and farther apart than those
made with the ordinay drill. On most
kinds of furrow drills the discs are
arranged so as to space the rows from
11 to 12 inches apart. The furrowing
is accomplished by a single disc set at
a sharper angle than usual or by two
discs which are arranged so as to
throw the soil in opposite directions,
The seed is deposited in the furrow
thus rade and is covered with about
two inches of soil.
The furrow drill is used to accom-1
plish the following results: To re-1
duce winter killing by protecting the
sea'e from exposure to frost, to re-!
duce injury due to drifting soil which
often dislodges the seed or young
plants when the ordinary drill is used,
to gain the fullest benefit from snows
by holding snow in the furrows, to
j render the temperature of the seed
bed more even by protecting the seed!
from alternate freezing and thawing,
to hasten the emergence of the wheat
in the fall by giving the seed more
favorable moisture conditions. The;
furrow drill has been found by test!
'Teffrom w^terTnTurv ^
Extensive tests have been made of
the furrow drill method in rentvd
Montana which is the heaviest pro
ducer of winter wheat at present and
in the north-central counties which
will this year come close to rivaling
their southern neighbors. Both sec
tions now believe that winter wheat
can made a reliable crop and have
demonstrated their faith in this be
