Fergus County to Hold
Fair; Trees for Farmers

: state fair and with even a larger anG
better display than yer, and will try
to secure the state prize for arrange
ment as usual. owners of cattle
hogs, sheep and horses, who believe
that they have stock that will com.
pare %favorably with that raised in
Fergus county, will have the privil-
eye of showing them at this fair, and
can at the same time arrange fo1
their sale, should they SO desire.
Sale to Be Conducted Every Day.
1t will be the duty of the commits
sion to provide a sales stable at this
fair, and a sale will be conducted
every day Of the fair. A commodious
sales barn will be built and perhaps
if present plans work out, there will
be sales offered the public every
month OF even twice per month as
the occasion demands.
One interesting feature Of the new
scheme of things OF the fair grounds.
is the establishment of a county tree
nursery. This will be in the hands
of Daniel eBan, one of Fergus coun-
tvs most progressive landscape gar
deners. The plan is to grow trees OF
the sort that are hardy and adapted
to this climate and sell them out to
the farmer in lots to suit his con-
venience and at cost. The idea is to
encourage the planting of hardy trees
on the bench land farms and to
eventually build up groves similar in
appearance to the groves of eastern
Dakota and Minnesota, where the
same thing has been done so success
fully. The county commissioners of
Fergus county are a live wire body of
men. and they stand for anything
that means the progress of the coun-
ty at large. Any one interested in
the coming Fergus county fair who
wishes to list stock for sale or for
show, will do we'll to get in touch
with the secretary. l.. D. Blodgett,
in care of the chamber of commerce,
at LeWistoMn.

Banks Full of Money
and Only Half Crop
Has Been Turned OFT

According to the statement of
Bank Examiner II. S. McGraw
the banks of the state are in
excellent condition. He says:
ION November II, 1916, there
we're 245 state banks with re
sources amounting to $1O4,287,-
900.
ION Nov. 10, 1915, the 2s5
state banks showed deposits
amounting to $53,616. 900 and
the same date the 65 national
banks showed deposits of $43,-
100000, making a total of $97,-
$4,000.
November II, 1916, the 245
state banks showed deposits
amounting to $50 1885,, 900 and
on the same date the IS national
banks had deposits estimated at
$72,451,O 900, or a total of
1854, 1856, 900.
"This is a wonderful showing,
considering the tact that all the
information l have received
from the country banks shows
that not more than so per cent
of the grain crop has been placed
on the Market"
The Ekalaka eagle. [volume] (Ekalaka, Mont.) 1909-1920, 1916-12-22

During the year 1856 the farm
ers and grain dealers of Montana
have submitted 5,G35 samples of
seeds to the state grain laboratory
at Bozeman to be tested for germin-
alton and purity. The demand which
Montana farmers and dealers are
making on this laboratory and the
significance of these figures will be
better appreciated when this number
is compared with the number of sam
Piles sen to other state grain labora-
tories. There are 60 such labora-
tories in the United States and their
reports show that they handle on an
average of 500 to 1900 samples a
year. Only one, the Minnesota state
grain laboratory, handled more sam
pies this year than did the Montana
state laboratory.
Weeds in Seeds.
The report Of the laboratory which
is just out calls attention to the fact
that the amount of weed seed found
in seed samples has steadily in
creased during the last three years.
Thus the percentage of alfalfa seed
samples containing mustard seed in
creased from 7.6 per cent in 1914
to S.8 per cent in 1915, and 1872 per
cent in 1916. The number of alfalfa
seed samples containing Russian this
tie seed increased from $40 per cent
in 1914 to 45.6 per cent in 1915 and
GIL per cent in 1916. Like increases
are noted in the case of lambs quar-
ter, p%lantain, ~foxtail, and others. An
increase of these seeds was also
found in samples of red clover, sweet
clover, and timothy.
This goes to show that the seeds
being produced in the state are on
fields where weeds are on the in
crease or that the seeds being
shipped in and sold to the farmers
contain more noxious weeds than in
the past, a condition pointing to a
rapidly approaching time when weeds
will be a serious factor in crop pro-
duction in Montana.
Dangerous Weed Pests.
Farmers will do we'll to look care
fully to the seed they are buying to
make sure they are not injecting
their farms with dangerous weed
pests. termination and purity tests
of seeds can be obtained free at the
state grain laboratory which is stu
ated at Bozeman and the wise farmer
will take this means of determining
the quality of the seed which he con-
templates buying or sowing.

Fergus county is to have a fair.
The board of county commissioners
will finance it. A commission, COM
prising Amos Snyder of Beckett, G. L..
Wentworth of Lewistown, Tom Nj
cholson of Hobson and Ben F. Hills
Of Coffee Creek. has been named to
have executive charge, and l.. d.
Blodgett, manager Of the Lewistown
chamber of commerce will be sec
rotary of the commission. 1t is pro-
posed to make this annual gathering
one that will attract farmers from
every section of the Judith basin.
The first meeting of this board will
take place during the "Farmer's Big
Week" at Lewistown. At this time
there will be a general going over Of
the plans for the fair. The commits
sioners have agreed to turn i've the
grounds in tip-top shape for a fair,
so the new fair commission will not
have any Of this detail to contend
with. They will arrange for the pre-
MUM lists, the entertainment, the
publicity, the appointing Of district
advisory boards and such other regu-
lar business lila NOulu naturally
come before such a body of men. 1t
is hoped that this fair will be a sue
cess, especially since the county has
taken over the grounds and has
made it a county institution.
To District the County.
The plan is to divide the county
into divisions, the outlines of each
division to be determined by the
school districts that comprise it.
There will probably be several dis
tricts in one division and each di-
vision will compete for the grand
prize the same as each county en-
deavors to secure first prize at the
state fair.
Fergus county will again go to the

INFLUENZA AND
HOW TO TREAT IT
DISEASE is VERY PREVALENT
ALL OVER THE STATE. AND
MANY LOSSES REPORTED
Deputy State Veterinarian Nelson De-
scribes Symptoms and Treatment;
One Dose of Serum Given Before
Horse Is Infected Gives High De-
gree of Immunity.

Influenza and "pink eye' have been
very prevalent throughout some Sec
lions Of Montana this fall, and seri-
Gus losses to owners of horses have
resulted. Symptoms, ~preventives
and the treatment of influenza
are covered in the following state
ment recently made by Deputy State
Veterinarian Frank NJ. Nelson:
1.-The winter season is the period
of greatest loss to horse owners and
dealers. The danger of their horses
contracting influenza or strangles is
much greater thar at other seasons
of the year, because animals are usu-
ally more closely confined. or are be-
ing used in hauling grain to the mar
kets. Public barns are a very pre-
valent source of contagion at this
d%isinfect them and they are always
premium.
The Symptoms.
"The most noticeable symptoms
are loss of appetite, rapid breathing,
depression and languor Of movement
and weakness. The membranes of
the mouth and nostrils are dry and
hot: swallowing often becomes diff
ficult. The temperature is high. In
the early stages the animals are con-
%stipated, later followed by mild di-
arrhoea. The eyes are swollen and
inflamed and may later discharge
pus. Swellings are noticed in the
limbs, chest and sheath.
"Horses can be easily and satisfac-
torily immunized against these dis
eases. One full dose of serum, Civ
en- before the horse is infected with
either influenza or strangles (dis-
temper), gives a high degree of i'm
munity.

EGG PRODUCTION
COST EXCESSIVE
MAINTENANCE OF 100 HENS FOR
80 DAYS COSTS $50; EGG
REVENUE ABOUT Ss23.
Farmers Have Sold OFF Surplus Poul-
try Stock and 1t Will BE Years Be-
fore Selling Price of Eggs Is I'm
der Fifty Cents Per Dozen; Stor-
age Profitable for Housewives.

At the present time fresh eggs are
selling at retail for more than eve be-
fore in the history of this country,
and many customers are shouting
graft and unreasonable profits for
the producer. Although it must be
admitted that eggs are not worth Is
cents per dozen at retail for food as
compared with milk, flour, potatoes,
and meat, they are nevertheless a
necessity for children and invalids
because of the digestibility and high
call for eggs from people who can
afford to pay these prices to such an
extent that the present demand far
exceeds the supply. Another legiti-
mate reason for the excessive high
prices is the fact chat hundreds OF
farmers all over the country have
sold all or a large number of their
fowls during the past two months be-
cause of the high cost of feed, and
as a result of this there are many
thousand less reproducing fowls
in existence today than in previous
years at this season.
Only Experts Make Profit.
1t stands to reason that farmers
would not be selling their fowls for
meat if they felt that by keeping
them they could realize a profit dur
ing the fall and winter. AS a matter
of fact it is only expert poultrymen
with 0vnry I,-o,,+,~o &c o.-....4
and well-bred stock who are able to
make a good profit with the present
cost Of raw materials and labor.
1t costs about 500 per month to
feed 100 hens, and labor and over
head charges would increase this
amount to $50. The average pro-
duction of fowls during November,
according to estimates from several
agricultural colleges, is Is eggs per
day from 100 hens. This would be a
total for the month of $50 eggs, or
little less than SO dozen. Most pro-
ducers are receiving at least so cents
per dozen for their eggs at the pres
ent time. which would make the aver
age total income from 100 hens
$3.50.
Store Eggs When Cheap.
These figures prove that the av-
erage farmer is losing $3.50 per
month on every 100 hens during No
vember, and the months of October
and December would also show a
loss, although not quite so great.
Hens do not lay in the fall and early
winter months, and it will be many
years before careful breeding will de-
velop enough birds which will lay at
this time to bring the price of eggs
down below SO cents per dozen. Stor-
age eggs will always have a place
in the markets and it will always be
profitable for housewives to store
their own in the spring. When all
consumers recognize this fact and
prepare themselves, it will help to
keep the price at a minimum in the
fall for the consumer and help to
maintain a reasonable price for pro-
ducers in the spring.
