UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO, MOSCOW,
FEBRUARY 28th 1911.

Matchless Baron VIII, a pure bred
Berkshire barrow, weighing 44O, grand
champion fat hog at the Information
al Live Stock Show at Chicago last
December, lis now ON the University
farm. He was presented to Dean
Carlyle by the Sheffield Farm of Ilh-
nois, and has been exhibited on the
special demonstration train run
through southern Idaho.
The Breeders Gazette, issue Of
December 7th, thus describes Match
less Baron:
His Barrowship in the perfection
of his form and finish rises superior
to descriptive adjectives, and demands
that sweeping recognition which most
good judges accorded him I'm the
words the best finished hog the most
remarkable barrow, ever shown at
the International
Prof. Carlyle struck with the edu-
cational possibilities of what he con-
siders a perfect type of Berkshire
barrow saved Matchless Barron Wis
bacon from the slaughter contest by
securing him for demonstration use
ON hog special From pig pen
to a private car Is distinguished ex-
ultation for even an aristocratic Berk-
shire. Matchless Baron was an
orphan at two days Of age, so that he
was raised by hand. He was farrow-
ed July 25th, 1909. During the last
six months his ration consisted of
rs per cent corn, SO per cent barley,
15 per cent wheat middlings, per
cent tankage and per cent Oil meal.
Before each feeding during the past
three months he travelled three
fourths of mile for exercise"
The Idaho Station men consider it
an object lesson for the Northwest
that such a remarkable hog should be
grown and finished i'm a corn belt

ley, middings and tankage, feeds

success i'm Idaho, Washington and
other Northwestern States. Matchless
Baron Is the object of interest sought

Station and Farm.

Buys New Engine

VIM. Connerly, one of the
largest wheat raisers of the Mis-
sion valley, has just purchased of
Stanley Scarce a new IS horse
power Advance engine of the lat
est type. This engine is COM
pound rear mounted and will be
used to pull his combine harves-
ter and thresher during the har-
vest and his plows, harrows and
drills during seeding afterwards.
This combine machine will de-
liver the wheat in sacks after be-
ing cut, and the sacked grain
will be hauled Immediately to the
elevators from the fields.
This shows just what progress
is being made in the way of
quick handling Of the work on
the farms under Mr.. Connerly's
control, and also the modern
methods resorted to by Mission
valley farmers in general.

i. S. K. S. IL
Poison IL

Poison won out in the base ball
match at Poison last Sunday by
the above score. Those from
Roman say the game was not as
good as the one between the
same teams a few weeks ago.
Neither side was in the usual
form. Condiderable wrangling
occurred and some dirty ball play
ing is alleged on the part of one
or two Poison players, so much
SO indeed that it is more than
probable the U.S.R.S. will refuse
to again play Poison.
John Dishmon of St. Ig,natius
umpired the game and quite a
number from the Mission and
Roman were in attendance.

Will Gather Display

Stanley Scarce has made ar
rangements with the Missoula
Chamber of Commerce to gather
a display of the grains and
grasses produced on the reser-
walton this year for display at
the National Land show to be
held in New York City early in
November. 1t is desired that as
many bundles of grain as pos
sible be sent from this valley to
this great show, that the coun-
try may receive as much benefit
as possible from a show of this
kind.
In q letter to Mr.. Scarce, Mr..
Breitenstein, the secretary, says:
1--WE understand the grain and
hay of the Flathead is in excel
lent condition, and we want your
section of the country properly
represented at this big New
York show. We hope you and
the farmers there will do every
thing in your power to secure for
us some of the best specimens of
grain display.''
AS harvest started this week,
now is the time to save out the
best bundles Of grain and every
farmer is urged to bring his best
for the purpose of securing the
blue ribbon for the Mission val
ley, and it can be done if you
will only bring in a sample of
what you have raised.

Locknlan Buys Farms

F. M. Locklnan purchased this
week of Oliver Gebeau of st. Ig-
natius, two patented so acre
farms near Jocko. The price
paid for these two farms was
$4,000. With the land went the
hay crop already grown thereon,
estimated conservatively at 200
tons. 1t is said that Mr.. Lock-
man will move his family onto
this land from Missoula, and that
he will also establish a bank at
Arlee.
1t is a gratifying sign to see
Mlssoula men become the owners
of the Mission valley farms, when
it is known how we'll acquainted
thev are, or should be, with con-
ditions here.

Claims First HOnors

Ben Jacobs was in from his
ranch in 1920 Wednesday and
claims first honors for early cut
ting of grain this year. He says
he now has IS acres of Turkey
Red fall wheat in the shock and
that it is of as fine berry as one
ever saw.
This wheat was raised on a
piece of leased land and has at
tracted much attention this year
from strangers passing through
the country. It shows what can
be done by scientific farming and
will demonstrate just how profit
able it can be made.
Mr.. Jacobs is preparing to SOW
a greatly increased acreage this
fall and next year will reap the
benefits to accrue from
good farming.

Dixon is Growing

Reports coming from Dixon in
cate that that town is coming to
the front in fine shape. The lat
est is that a general store with a
$25, 600 stock of goods will be
opened by August l, by Geonott
& Co. A drug store will be in
operation by August 10, by a
Paradise firm, and other business
enterprises are we'll under way.
The bridge across Mission
creek will be rushed to compile
tion just as fast as possible, the
material being now on the
ground. This bridge will open
up a good road to Dixon from all
over the northern part of the
reservation, and especially to
Post creek and Moiese valley.
The Ronan pioneer. [volume] (Ronan, Mont.) 1910-1970, 1911-07-28

the new store are Messrs. jean
mott, Hage and Prien.
Fred E. Hoss, deputy state
bank examiner for the state of
Montana, was in Dixon recently
and called on G. E. Whiteman at
the Farmers and Merchants
bank of Dixon.
John Harrington, the Missoula
contractor who has the contract
tor building the new bridge over
Mission creek, is in Dixon this
week superintending the hauling
of material out to the bridge
site.
This fall Dixon is to have a
new N. P. depot and warehouse,
to be erected on the opposite side
from the one now in use. Dixon
can we'll call itself one of the
most prosperous of the Flathead
towns.

Wants Mission Valley Wheat

Sol Lumlberg representing the
Gallatin Valley Milling Co., of
Belgrade, was in Roman a short
time Tuesday, investigating the
wheat crop of the Mission valley.
Mr.. Lumlberg says that his COM
pany will probably have one or
more buyers in the valley this
fall and be prepared to buy any
quantity of wheat which will be
put on the market. He was
endeavoring to ascertain which
point the farmers would pre-
fer to haul their crop to reach
railway transportation and will
decide this important feature to
the best advantage of all con-
cerned.
In talking further about the
valley Mr.. Lumlberg said the
farmers should investigate the
sugar beet culture, as it was the
best paying crop a farmer could
raise. In this valley, he said, it
would be possible to secure a
factory just as soon as there
were $4,000 acres of this land
under ditch, so that a factory
could reasonably expect yearly
acreage of 10000 acres of beets.
This crop he says will return to
the farmers from SIS to $1OO per
acre where wheat, even when as
good as this year will not yield a
net return of over $35 or $40 at
the best. Then add to the farm
a few good dairy COWS, and the
farmer on 40 acres will find his
income beyond anything he had
anticipated, and the increase
value of his real estate will sur
prise him. "Why," said he,
''down at Billings where the
sugar frctory has been in opera
ton for the past four years, the
increase in the farm values is
wonderful. Before the factory
started land was selling at from
$40 to $50 per acre now you cannot
buy it for $500 per acre. Sugar
beets did this for the Yellowstone
valley and sugar beets will do
the same thing for your vallay in
as short time"

Others Looking for Wheat

Roman was visited Tuesday by
officials of the Centennial Mill
Co., of Spokane and other Wash
ington cities. Those in the party
were S. Glasgow, secretary and
treasurer of the company, and
M. Harshman, general manager
of the Spokane branch.
These gentlemen said while in
town in conversation with the
Pioneer man that so far this sum-
mer they had travelled over 10,-
600 miles in their private auto
just simply sizing up the wheat
crops of eastern Washington,
western Idaho and northwestern
Montana, and could truthfully
say that in no parts visited were
there better crops than were to
be found in the Mission valley.
The company is searching for
hard spring wheat only, being
the largest manufacturing millers
on the Pacific coast with an i'm
mense export trade.
They went from here to Mis-
soula to attend the funeral of
Thos. L. Greenough, who was a
heavy stockholder in the Centen-
nial company,

park to park party last week.
They went from here to Glacier
Park and viewed the sights there
and are now in the National Park
excepting Mrs. Denison who left
them at Ravalli, where she is Wis.,
iting her mother and brother.
They are, perhaps, the first to
make a park to park trip and
when a good road connects the
two pleasure and sightseeing re-
sorts many such parties will be
seen during all the summer
months.

vised Mr.. Pray that it expects to
have the classification and ap-
praisement of these unappraised
tracts, which was authorized by
act Of congress, June Is, 1910,
completed during the present
summer. Before the surplus
lands will be marketed the de-
partment will require a geologi-
cal investigation to determine
whether they contain coal or
other minerals. The amount of
land involved is between 20 and
80 thousand acres, and the field
work connected with it will prob
ably be handled within the next
four months, being finished by
November l.
