Oops Here Far Ah,ead of Moduli).
H. Fred Tash, until recently man
ager of the local Farmers' Union
warehouse, returned Sunday from a
brief trip into Montana. Mr. Tash
went looking for a tentative location
but returns home much disappointed
with what he found there. Crops in
the Montana country this year ap
proach a complete failure, according
to Mr. Tash, and he doubts if enough
wheat will be threshed in the entire
state to make seed for next yar. In
the Judith basin country, where ab
normally large crops were raised last
year, and a country which Is renown
ed as a wheat producing section, the
grain is very poor, not beiug as good
as the crops in Morrow county. Mr.
Tash says there lias been no growing
weather in Montana this year, and
from all appearances, tho grain did
not much more than get through the
ground in many places before being
cooked by the dry hot burning weath
er which that country has been experiencing.

making Madras his readpuarters for
the past several months, left town
on Wednesday evening across the

come are requested to detain him un
til Jefferson county or Federal offi
cials can take charge of him. Mad
