MANY THRESHERS IN,
VALLEY NOW BUSY
All over the winter wheat sections
of the valley the threshing rigs are
busy, taking advantage of every good
day and even every hour of daylight.
The winter grain is threshing out well
and most farmers report an extra fine
quality to their grain this year. Seas
onable rains helped the grains to fill
and the shrivelled kernals, so* often
found in wheat, are almost entirely
absent this season. This same applies
to spring wheat, though none of this
latter grain has yet been threshed
save in a few isolated spots.
The first winter wheat seeding in
the valley is now going on north of
Bozeman along the east Gallatin and
in a few other sections. In another
week or so winter wheat seeding will
begin in earnest. The soil is in un
usually good condition for the winter
wheat, there being ample moisture,
as a result of the late rains, to in
sure quick germination and steady
growth.
HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL
SENDS OUT LETTER.
In order to keep in closer touch

course, Prof. J. A. Woodard principal
of the Gallatin high school, has writ

Professor Woodard the eighth grade

the pupils, especially those who grad
