South St. Paul, June 20.—Price ad
justments to a grass basis continue
to mreaten in the cattle division, only i
being withheld at present as a result j
of the sharp reduction in country

packers tried hard to hold levels of
killing costs down this week, sellers
were able to force a strong to 25c or
more advance on virtually all killing
High money for the week was $10.-1
classes.
75 paid for yearlings, both mixed and
straight averaging 1068 and 852 lbs.
respectively. Other well-conditioned
bullocks sold between this price and
$10.00 with bulk of all offerings on
downwards to $9.00. Fat she stock
continued largely at $5.00 to $6.50 for
cows and $6.75 to $8.00 for heifers,
manners and cutters bulking at $3.00
to $3.50. Big weight bologna bulls
reached $4.75 and $5.00, light and
mediumweight kinds stopping at $4.23
to $4.60. Veal calves regained most
of last week's losses closing at $8.50
today on packer account.
Stocker and feeder values are about
the same as a week ago, a spread of
$5.00 to $6.50 taking bulk of the steer
stuff, with cows and heifers at $3.25
and $3.75 to $4.50 respectively.
Seasonally light hog runs more than
offset the narrow shipping demand
and the dull w*eak undertone to the
dressed pork market, and live values
advanced 50c to 60c on the average.
At the windup desirable butcher and
bacon hogs cashed at $12.40 to $12.60,
latter price being the day's top with
mixed hogs going unsorted at $12.00
to $12.35. Packing sows were sorted

cording to Director F. B. Linfield of
the Montana Experiment station. The
study of agricultural economic ihrob
lems in the state under which will
come matters dealing with marketing
farm crops, investigations in home.
economics and work in rural sociol-,
ogy, will be the Important new lines
cf work opened up by the federal act.
Heretofore, investigations by ex
périment stations have been limited
largely to the problems of production,
according to Director Linfield. Now
an entirely new field is opened up—
a field which deals with the human
side cf agriculture.* The Purnell act
rounds out the scope of investiga
tion to its logical completion, making
ft possible for experiment stations to
render service in all phases of agri
culture,
The Purnell act, Director Linfield
explains, is the result of many years
of endeavor on the part of the Asso
0 £ Lamj Grant colleges. Years
of depreciation of the purchasing
power of the dollar has seriously cur
tailed experimental work. With the
same amount of money in 1925 as in
1912 and with the purchasing power
of that money greatly reduced, ex
periment station work has been handi
capped. The real purpose behind the
Burnell bill is to make up for this
loss and to broaden the field of work
of experiment stations.
As in other matters where govern
ment funds are involved supervision
rests with federal authorities. The.
work to be started under the Purneil
act will be outlined and directed by
national and district committees of
experiment station heads, with the
co-operation of federal men. Some of
the work to be undertaken will be
national in its scope and some will be
local or of interest only to a group
of states. The conference recently
held at St. Louis, attended by prac
tically all experiment station direc
tors was for the purpose of consider
ing what work should be undertaken
and committees have been appointed
to arrange ways and means of con
ducting the different experimental
projects. At the present time C. M.
Arnett, in charge of the live stock
work of the Montana Experiment sta_
tion, is attending a committee meeting
in Washington, D. C., for the purpose
of arranging the work in live stock
production.
' It is desired, according to Director
Linfield, to go into the matter of out
lining the work very carefully to pre
vent overlapping of effort and dupli
cation. The first year's work under
the new act will be largely that of
getting the experiments organized so
that the most effective and most valu"
able work may be done.
At the present time the Montana
Experiment station is planning In
vestigational and experimental proj
ects in agricultural economics, home
economics and rural sociology and
special work in farm management,
the marketing of fftrm products and
land economics.*
Under the Purnell act each state ex
periment station receives $20,000 co
carry on the designated new work and
to supplement the projects already
under way and this sum will be in- j
creased by $18,000 each year for the !
next four years, or until the total
reaches $60,000.

TEST FORAGE CROPS.
Blaine county farmers are testing
a variety of grasses in an effort to
find out the best forage crop for their
conditions. This summer the farm
tests include brome grass, , crested
wheat grass, Slender wheat grass,
sweet clover and others in various
combinations and proportions. Rec
ords and observations of growing con
dirions qre being kept by George W.

Second Edition Trouble
Psychology plays a queer
prank on the car owner who is
; overanxious to avoid a second
i edition of some trouble that he
; has worked hard to get rid of.
■ It seems that as soon as he
[ takes the wheel of the new car
r he commences looking for the
Î sort of trouble he had with the
f old one, and he very shortly be
[ gins to find It, for the unique
r reason that he starts to do the

In the successful campaign making
Detroit the. safest city for pedestri

chine, whether at high or low speed.
And then, hogginess, and lack of
courtesy on the road distracts atten
tion. and accidents are bound to occur.
Frequent Inspection of
Wiring Is of Importance
If car owners would make a point
of Inspecting the wiring on their ma
chines two or three times a year, a lot
of trouble would be avoided.
There Is no such thing as tighten
ing a connection so that you are sure
it will stay. The constant Jar and
sway of a car will sometimes succeed
In working loose a nut that has been
jammed down so tight that it seemed
to be there for keeps. This Is particu
larly likely to happen If there is slack
in the wire so that It whips back and
forth.
It is quite common to find batteries
that are undercharged tow no other
reason than neglect of the owner to
keep connections tight between bat
tery and generator.

T. B. IN POULTRY.
Tuberculosis is one of the most
serious diseases of poultry in Mon
tana according to Dr. Howard Welch,
veterinarian at Montana State college.
In practically every community in the
state, says the doctor, flocks of poul
try may be found infected with the
disease. As on the case of cattle and
hogs tuberculosis can be detected
'birds by testing, but ordinarily this
method is not resorted to.
Poultry infected with tuberculosis,
advises the veterinarian, loses weight,
becomes droopy, spends much time on
the roosts abd finally dies. Other
loss occurs through a falling off in
egg production.* The disease is par
ticularly important because of the
possibility of it* transmission to
humans,
The beat means of handling tuber
culosis in poultry is to ki|l off the en
tire flock, dig up the old poultry yard,
rebuild or completely clean and dis
infect the old poultary house and start
over agate with clean, healthy birds,
Dr. Welch advises that it may he dé

Hadley Auction Sale Scene of
Slick Swindle, Says Man
hattan American
R. K. Long and others whose names
we have been unable to secure, fell
victims of a swindle, the affair hap
pening at the auction sale of Joe
last Monday, says the Manhattan
American.
Mr. Long tells us that at the sa'.e
a man representing himself as being
connected with a firm that employs
traveling men, and that he had some
which he claimed to be cashmere,
were represented to be cashmere,
worsted, etc., of high quality. Mr.
Long, being unfamiliar with the dif
férent grades of cloth for women's
garments and believing the gentleman
when he opened up the big rolls vf
cloth with the statement that the bos»
had told him to sell the cloth at what
he could ge for it, and with a keen
desire on Mr. Long's part to secure
something of high quality for his
wife, bid in a portion of it for $19.50
that he found after arriving home to
bs only mohair cloth, the kind used
in the lining of men's coats and vests.
I and does not sell to exceed 50c a yard.
Mr. Long thought he was buying cloth
at a bargain, that sells for many dol
lars a yard, and instead of getting
from $60 to $75 worth of cloth for
$19.50, he would be glad to get $2.50
for his purchase. We have been In
formed that Bill Kratcer was also
burned on the same deal.
M!r. Long states that this smooth
guy must have collected from $200
to $250 for these cheap grades of
cloth.
Don't Polish Car When
Surface of Body Is Hot
Under no circumstances should
motorist ever attempt to polish his
car while the surf ice of the body
hot from standing in the sün. Any
sort of paint or varnish softens some
what under heat. The warmth of
summer sun is ample to soften the
varnish of a car to such an extent
to make rubbing ! t decidedly destruc
tive to the varnish.
Even standing :n the sun will fre
quently result In heating the varnish
to such an extent that as it coots
again It will check and crack Into thou
sands of tiny lines. When this occurs
the fine finish of your car is gone for
ever and no polish will completely re
store It.
