Clean Seed Wheat Advocated By Mont. Agricultural College
Bozeman, Mont September 20 The Montana state college of agriculture has started an anti wheat smut drive to make the state first in the country where every farmer treats his grain before planting.

Under the direction of Dr. Arthur Evans seed treatment demonstrations are being given by federal experts who are co operating with county farm agents and farm bureaus to bring Montana's wheat production to a level never reached before.
