SOLDIERS NEEDED.
BUT NOT TODE HAD
Montana Officers Unable to
Respond to Call for Help
From Burning Forests.

Mlssoula. Aug. 9.-District Forester
Greeley { ORC Elmo, Idaho, where he
arrived this morning on his tour Of in
YesugatiOn of the forest fire condi-
lions. startled the quiet of the ,oeal
Forestry headquarters Dy sending a
message To-Day noon asking for two com
pahles or soldiers-One from Fort Mis-
soula ana the other from Fort Harri-
son. TO hurry to the Clearwater forest,
as there had been several new fire
outbreaks there which viii demand i'm
| mediate attention. The Clearwater
Ilfes are so remote that the inVestiga-
llOn or the first reports of three and
iour days are just coming in and show
| the condition TO be serious and pres
ehts tough problem again TO the for
est officials.
Associate Forester Silcox here, after
receiving Forester Greeley's message,
communicated with both Fort Missoula
ana Fort Harrison and found that il is
practically impossible to secure the re-
CURED number OF men equipped for the
Ileld on account of most of the troops
from both places being at American
Lake attending the annual maneuvers.
AT Fort Harrison only IL men were
available and at Fort MissOula those
who could be spared from the 90 re-
naming at the post were not suffi-
clently equipped with pack outfits TO
make the hard journey into the remote
Clearwater districts.
Forester SilcOx will hold a conference
with the commanding officer. Lieuten-
ant Busche. and arrive at some plan
OF action. II may be that a company
OF soldiers Il American Lake viii be
immediately recalled here to go into
the hotter and more real field of
action.
In the meantime the forest service
IS getting together two crews of so
men each 20 send to the Clearwater
districts. On account Of shortage
OF pack horses il is not expected that
they can be started on the trip until
Thursday of this week One crew will
go across the range via the LOlo Creek
route and the other will go up Lost
Horse creek and drop over the divide
at about Indian lake.
The general fire situation today is
reported as still improved and several
blazes have been entirely eXtinguish-
ed. Wit hthe exception of the Clear
water district no new fires OF any con-
sequence have been reported

DAIRYING IN THE SOUTH.

Farmers Bulletin No. 34o, a pamph-
let of SO pages, is devoted to the Dairy
Industry of the South, and describes the
systematic field work in the Southern
States, for the development of this in
dustry. This has been done in cooper
alton with the State Experiment Sta
tions, Agricultural Colleges and Depart
ments of Agriculture, largely through
personal efforts among the dairy men,
with a view to teaching them better
methods.
1t is said that 23,425,ooo pounds of
creamery butter annually is brought into
the South from Northern and Western
states. Of this vast amount Florida
handled in the fiscal year of Ioo5-6, at
points named, the following:
Jacksonville, 100000 pounds of
creamery and 100000 of renovated but
ter; Pensacola, 10000 pounds creamery
and 28,54I of renovated; Tampa, 742,o7o
creamery and $1,000 of renovated but
ter Of oleomargarine, at these three
points, about 100000 pounds were dis
tributed through the state
In the line of cheese, Jacksonville dis
tributed during the same year, 1,675,68o
pounds, Pensacola 2o7, ,I2o,; Tallahassee,
41,76o; Tampa, 4oo,83o pounds.
The immense number of cans of con-
densed milk is surprising. Jacksonville
alone distributed 28o3,2oo pounds Cor
large cans); Tampa, 2,683,68o; Pensa-
cola, 61o,86o.
The latest statistics in the bulletin
credit the state with 1,386,445 pounds of
butter made on farms and none what
ever in creameries. We stand at the
bottom of the list of Southern states,
some of which have made from twenty
to fifty million pounds of farm and
creamery butter.
In the South the consumption of fresh
cream is small, due rather to its scarcity
than lack of demand All the large cit
les of Florida, say the bulletin with the
exception of Tallahassee, get the larger
part of their cream from Georgia and

were not included in the statistics pub
lished by the Florida Department of Ag-
riculture. In that year there appeared
a table under date of July Ist, showing
that in all but nine counties the number
was $3.50, valued at $6o6,oI2; average
value, $17. One county, however, Tay-
lor, having only mich cows, returned
their value at $3.50, or $3.50 each. Two
counties reported over 1000, as follows:
Columbia, 1902; Gadsden, 1868; Ham
ilton. 1923; Hillsborough, 1868; jeff
erson, 1904; Leon, 5000; Levy, 2,62o;
Marion, 3,8o2; Suwannee, 2,o51, and Vo-
lusia, 4,447. The counties not reporting
were Bradford, Brevard, Citrus, Jack
son, Lee, Manatee and Monroe.
By 1910 the number had increased to
4A14o. having value of $1,000, 1903, or
little over SEQ per head. Nine coun-
ties made no report These were Cit
rus, Gadsden, Lee, Manatee, Monroe,
Nassau, Osceola, Pasco and Putnam.
Suwannee headed the list with 4,1oo
head, valued at $6o,oo6 Those having
over 1000 on July Ist were as follows:
Alachua, 1852; Bradford, 2,72o; Duval,
1907; Escambia, 1926; Hamilton, SAP;
Hillsborough, 345o; Holmes, 3,21o;
Jackson, 1874; Jefferson, 1923; Leon,
$685.; Levy, 1906; Madison, 1,727; Or
ange, 1885; St. Johns, 1,4Io, and Wash
ington, I,4oI. The lowest on the list
was Wakulla, with 20 valued at $471;
Liberty "a, worth 1854; Calhoun 26 of
value Of $5o5. Palm Beach cows rang
ed highest as to value, $85 being the
average Suwannee's cows ranged low
est, $1645.
The live stock returns for this year
were more thorough than ever before, as
cows were divided into stock cattle and
thoroughbreds, including three-quarter
grades and up, all ages. We give the
totals for 1910 as in the state, July Ist,
as follows:
Kind Number. Value.

Average value Of Jerseys, $32.65 per

ton that this valuable mich cow will
thrive in Florida, Notwithstanding all
reports to the contrary.
The table giving the milk statistics is
interesting. 1t shows that "cow juice"
given up by the cows, sold and used,
amounted to 6,o88,35o gallons, valued at
$2,474,44o. Eleven counties made no re-
port. Holmes reported the highest num-
Der, I3I,6o5, value, $24I,o7o, or about 22
cents per gallon. The next highest was
Duval, with 1,oo2,536, valued at $441,-
845, about As cents per gallon The
average price for the state at large was
IS cents per gallon.

engaged in, is because it is Improbable.
At least, so states the bulletin, and it
states it as follows:
"Dairying is undeveloped in the South
ern states largely because the farmers
of that section do not understand how
to make it profitable. They realize the
necessity of more fertilizer for their
farms, and they are buying large guam
titles of it at high prices. They realize
too, that barnyard manure is superior
to commercial fertilizer, but they do not
understand how to keep the cattle to
make the manure without sustaining
loss on the cattle.
This is principally due to three things:
CD The cattle now kept are, as rule,
inferior and could not be kept prohtably
under amy circumstances; (2) many
dairymen buy practically all their feed
instead of growing it, especially those
who live near the city and can get
good price for their products; and CD
the dairyman who lives some distance
from the city and sells butter as rule
makes an inferior product. A very large
per cent of the dairies in the Southern
states are suffering from at least two
of these difficulties and in many cases
from all three"
A good cow should yield 5000 pounds
of milk, producing about 800 pounds of
butter; but the average cow, according
to the last census, produces annually
only 1896 pounds of milk or about I7o
of butter.
If any of Our readers are curious to
know about renovated butter" it is
country butter produced On small farms
where only two Or three cows are kept;
this is sold to the country merchant who
sends the surplus (unsold) stock packed
in barrels to the nearest renovating fac
tory, at figure barely paying the mer-
chant even the low price he offers Gin
trade always) to the producer. This
is generally one-half less than good
creamery butter is retailed at
The final summing up of results of in
vestigations made is given below as be-
ing sufficiently interesting to be quoted
in full:
Summary.
Some of the improvements which the
situation demands have been suggested
in the foregoing pages, and these are
briefly reviewed in the following sum-
mary:
I. There is no branch of agriculture
that is more needed in the South than
dairying. It is not only profitable in
dustry in itself, but it may be made the
means of increasing the productiveness
of the soil and promoting better type
of agriculture.
2. It is found that southern dairymen,
as a rule. are not using the most eco
nonlic methods in the following par"
ticulars: (a) The production of the av
erage cow is only about half what it
should be- (b) Too many of the dairies
are in the cities, when they should be
on the farms; hence too high-priced feed
and bad methods of feeding. (c) Milk
and butter of poor quality are produced
which do not bring the highest prices.
3. 1t is strikingly true that in most

Spreading of Weeds

The history of the whitlow-pepper-
wort, which. accidentally introduced
into England from Holland a century
ago, has now spread from Dover to the
Severn, is q reminder of the incredible
rate at which a European plant Is
spreading over the Australian contf-
nent. Just 80 years ago a lady at
Bright, Victoria, planted in her garden
few seeds Of ST. Johns wort sent her
from the old country. The lady's inten-
ton, says the Westminster Gazette, was
to have one or two OF the plants at
hand for medicinal purposes. The
hardy weed, however, soon spread be-
yond the garden, and before any one
had grasped the magnitude of the evil
1T had been carried by cattle along all
the main stock routes and Jumped the
Victorian watershed into Gippsland. It
has now completely taken possession
of something like 10000 acres of agri-
cultural land. and the agricultural de-
partment of Victoria is spending thou
sands of pounds in the endeavor to
eradicate 1t. some of the methods tried
costing nearly ESQ an acre.
