Parker Advises More Sour Cherry Growing

Fred T. Parker, manager of the Bitter Root cannery at Hamilton and President of the Montana Horticultural “society, gave an interesting and valuable address to the Polson Kiwanians at their weekly luncheon Tuesday evening. He was accompanied by Mrs. Parker.

Mr. Parker addressed the canning industry with particular reference to the sour cherry crop, which he believes ranks with the McIntosh Red Apple as the best fruit crop for western Montana. The cannery paid a good price for sour cherries for canning last year and will handle a goodly quantity this year.

Coyotes Win Easy Game from Browning

The Polson Coyotes won an easy game from the Browning Indians at the Lincoln Gym Tuesday night, defeating the visitors by a score of 28 to 15.

The Coyotes took the lead from the jump and were never hard pressed. The score at the end of the first half was 18 to 2, Browning only making one basket in the first two quarters.

In the second half the Browning center began caging long shots from the middle of the floor and dropped in three in a row in the first few minutes. It looked as if he might make the game interesting but the Coyotes stopped the Browning rally and added a few more to their own tally, maintaining their lead.

Lester Olson, playing for the Coyotes, played an exceptionally fast game and was responsible for 13 of his team’s points.
