State Schools to Receive Funds for Public Instruction
More than 150 000 school children stand to benefit as $706 926 from the state interest and income fund will be distributed to common schools around April 1. Miss Elizabeth Ireland, state superintendent, announced the plan authorized by the state land board. The delay during the bank holiday period was noted by I M Brandford, commissioner of state lands and investments. Brandford received authority to waive state crop liens in favor of the federal government which seeks the first lien for seed loans. The land board also granted coal mining lease applications in Flathead and Liberty counties.

Great Falls will have property owners water boulevards this summer due to insufficient funds to pay the 100 workers previously employed. Last year over $37,000 was spent on boulevard maintenance. Delinquencies in maintenance assessments forced the cutback, though the city will still water boulevard trees and seeks owner cooperation.

Farming Tips From Montana State College Compilation
Food cost compares boxed and packaged goods with bulk prices. Field breakdowns from machinery lack of maintenance reach about 75 percent. Pregnant sows benefit from weekly three grain potassium iodide to prevent hairlessness. Canning and preserving foods reflect grandmother thrift. Good pasture grass can replace hay for cows' roughage. Public libraries help during low income by providing literature and stimulation.

Vines provide a major portion of daily diet through beans, peas, sweet potatoes and tomatoes. Perennial plants show sports and offshoots, while vines yield larger crops than dwarf forms. Climate and space favor pole beans and climbing varieties as efficient garden main crops.
Garden Varieties and the Notion of Plant Sports
The passage explains vines like cucumbers and melons produce food, while grapes dominate as a vine title.
