J. Ogaard, agronomist for Montana Ex tension Service. The two shows, which heretofore have been held sep arately, will be combined to form a state wide pure seed exhibit of all crops included In the pure seed and crop standardization program of the Extension Service and the Montana Seed Growers' Association.

Further pursuing his studies and teaching, he managed to save up enough money to put him thru medical college. He began the practice of medicine in the new oU section of Pa. He was a student of nature, knew and could easily recognize most of the medicinal plants growing in the woods. Later, he moved to Buffalo, N. Y. where he launched his favorite remedies, and in a short time, they were sold by every drug gist in the land. Today, the name of this man, Dr. R. V. Pierce, is known through out the world. His Golden Medical Dis covery is the best known blood medicine and tonic. More than fifty million bottles have been sold in the U. S.

Ogaard. Hereto fore, the corn show has been held each winter at Miles City and the Utility Seed Show for many years has been an annual event held in connection with Farm and Home Week at Montana State College, Bozeman. By holding the two shows together and at a different point in the state each year they will be brought within reach of a greater number of people and the educational features increased . Miles City Custer County and neighboring sections ef eastern Mon tana deserve the credit for organiz ing and developing the corn show to its present state wide proportions, says Mr. Ogaard. In this eastern Montana city the show was started a number of years ago and under the hearty cooperation of eastern Mon tana farmers with the support of civic organizations it grew to be a great educational institution of rec ognized importance throughout the northwest. The Montana Extension Service has long since recognized the corn show as an important factor in its work of encouraging corn growing in Mont ana and for many years has cooperat ed with the Miles City management in conducting the show. Each year the show has been the center of corn growing activity in the state. By the use of educational exhibits the vital essentials of successful corn growing in Montana- has been brought home to the visitors. The dis plays of pure, home grown seed of adapted varieties, exhibits calling at tention to the need of selecting seed corn at the right time, demonstra tion showing different methods of planting and cultivating and illus trations of the approved methods of picking, curing and storing seed corn have always occupied an important place in the corn show:. With the generous decision of the people of Miles City and eastern Montana to turn the management of the show over to the Montana Extension Ser vice and to allow it to be placed on a circuit, the benefits of the show will be made available to a greater number of people than ever. The utility seed show has been un der the direction of the Extension Service since it was organized sev eral years ago and since its start has been one of the features of the Annual Farm and Home Week at Montana State College, It quite nat urally fits in as a companion exhibit with the Corn Show and the two to gether will make a seed exhibit cov ering every major crop grown in the state. This show is open only to samples of seed grown by farmers of the state who are co-operating with the Montana Extension Service and the Montana Seed Growers' As sociation in the crop standarization work. Only registered and approved seed is exhibited and the samples displayed must be actually represen tative of the seed as harvested. The show not only serves to call attention to the rapid progress being made in the state in the elimination of un known seed but also serves as an ex change agency whereby farmers can get in touch with growers and sel lers of pure seed. The Montana Seed Growers' Asso ciation has already prepared its list of cooperating growers who have sup plies of approved and registered seed on hand from the past season's crop and these lists are being distrib uted through county agents of the state. Lists of local growers and seed supplies also are being distrib uted by county agents. , During the past season more than 600 fields of registered seed were inspected and passed by inspectors of the seed growers asssociation and the number of growers of approved seed for next year's planting than has ever been available before and j the directors of the work believe that I the time is ripe for a concentrated effort to bring about the universal use of pure seed in the state. The show at Sidney will launch the state wide effort which leaders hope will result eventually in the 100 per cent use of pure seed in Montana. ■■ ' ■■ M l . — M l In Miss Hariet M.

The exhibit consisted of pure and approved seed grown by cooper ating farmers in the county and corn potatoes, sugar beets, garden trucks, poultry and livestock grown and raised by members of 4-H clubs. The exhibit placed second in the county collective class at the fair. The community fair held at Lone pine in the Little Bitter Root Valley last month was one of the best at tended and finest exhibits of agri cultural products ever held in the famous little valley. A.

Winter wheat growers of Blaine County will have an opportunity this winter of judging the efficiency of the furrow drill In preventing winter killing and soil blowing. A demon stration field of winter wheat has been planted with the furrow drill for the purpose of comparison with adjoining fields planted by the ordin ary method. The seed corn situation In Rose bud county is considered rather crit ical due to lack of rain during much of the growing season last summer. Some growers are fortunate enough to have a reserve seed supply held over from last year, but many others will have to use imported seed if they plant their usual acreage next spring. Rosebud county normally has about 30,000 acres of corn. -*> <» The three banks of Custer County have joined hands to boost boys and girls club work in the county by aid ing club members in securing high grade sheep or gilts to carry on their club projects.

Our evolved bread Is so simply done in comparison to the bread made in an older day I can remember that bread making day was about as bad as wash day Busy Grandmother, how she worked* At nicht the "everlasting" yeast saved from the week before was brought out of its hiding place. J be dough was put together and mixed. trundled to bed, wrapped in Mankets so as not to chill over night. At dawn next day Grandmother would he up to punch and knead her dough. And after various punches and pats the bread would "f, U ut * n P ans * °"ly to stand about the kitchen an hour or two. At last it was put in the oven, and a whole evening and most of a day had gone into its-manufacture. What About Grand-daughter? But does the grand-daughter make "evol ved ' bread that way? Indeed, no. With plenty of the soft yeast which she can get fresh at the grocery store every day, she mixes her bread after breakfast and has it out of the oven long before noon. So easily done, so quickly done, such de licious bread with every baking. "Why." say many women, "I'd just as soon make bread as cake. To my mind bread making is one of our most interesting cookery processes, be cause we're working with a living plant which is going to grow and develop. Yeast is a very delicate one-celied plant It is like other plants and must have certain conditions in order to grow well. First of all, yeast must have air. That is why it is well to sift the flour which you use for bread in order to aereate It as well as to get accurate measurements, as of course flour packs In the sack or bin on standing. When the dough is rising it is better not to grease the out ' • side of the dough heavily. The grease closes out air, and the dough needs to breath. If the dough must stand long, a thin coating of grease will keep it from drying and forming a crust. The yeast plant must have moisture and so we use a liquid in bread. Sometimes it is just water, sometimes milk. Potato water is a good liquid, and it is thought by many that bread made out of it does not dry so quickly. The minerals in the potatoes • also encourage the growth of yeast. But bread made of milk is most nutritious, the milk supplying food ele ments which are lacking in white flour. Some kind of food must be furnished on which the yeast plant is to grow. For that reason we usually add to bread. Su gar will also Improve the color of the crust and the flavor. The yeast will work, too, on the starch of the flour, transform ing some of It to sugar and using it for food. Plenty Warm, But Not Too Much And since the yeast plant is delicate. It needs warmth in order to grow must luxur iantly. But too much heat will kill the plant. That is the reason that the liquid must be only Inke-warm. Eighty de grees is the right temperature and that is only a very little warmer than room temperature. So a room that Is about com fortable for you will be comfortable for your yeast. If the dough Is cold, the yeast will not be killed, but it will not grow fast. So if your dough becomes chilled, simply give it a longer time to rise. Those the four essentials for the yeast plant. When using the fresh, moist yeast the dough may be mixed up* stiff at once, and put to rise, without starting with a sponge. Rising, as the housewife calls it, is really a fermentation process, for as the yeast grows It forms two substances, carbon dioxide gas and alcohol. The gas bubbles which form in the dough keep enlarging and stretching the gluten of the flour more and more. That is why It is necessary to punch the dough down when It reaches about double its original size, so that the big bubbles will be broken np and the gluten of the flour will not lose its elasticity. s. .,J Wont It Taste Yeasty? ' When bread Is baked, the yeast plant is killed, the gas and alcohol driven off, and the gluten walls of the bubbles set, so the bread is light and spongy. ' Since all of this , is true, no need worry about using too much yeast for fear it will taste. The only way in which it could taste is that the dongh has stood too long, and the alcohol has turned to acid which will not bake ont, and which will make sour bread. The more yeast that is used, the quicker the bread may be made. • "Dear Jeanette Beyer," writes a Rex friend, "Won't yon please give us your recipe for Rex Cinnamon Rolls?

Illinois HALLOWEEN SUGGESTIONS The Witch's Cauldron Over a make-believe fire In a secluded corner of the room suspend a large iron kettle. At some time during the evening an old witch rushes into the room. The lights have been turned very low to make it more witchy. In a covered basket the witch has a number of ingredients which she will need for charms. She gives the basket to the hostess and then retires, muttering to her witch kettle . The host ess explains that the objects must be passed through every band until they reach the witch, and forma the company into a line. Then she bandages every one's eyes and passes first a hot baked potato. This is passed very quickly to the next, and all along the line little screeches follow. Next comes a chest nut burr, then a ueice of ice, an old glove filled with mush, a large soup bone, a large grape without the skin and an oyster. The horrid feel of these various things will keep the company squealing and when the last has been dropped into the witch's kettle, the bandages are removed and they may all look in. The old witch then stirs and stirs and later In the evening takes from the kettle written fortunes for each guest Oness Who Put a sheet across a doorway and have the boys, one at a time, show their feet below the sheet.
