Who Hold Crop

Says Big Timber Expert

eggs, butter and poultry, but it is a
matter of common knowledge in mar
ket circles that merchants who buy
these commodities when they are most
plentiful and put them in cold storage
TO supply the winter demand when
production diminishes, frequently suf-
fer heavy losses. An open winter is
ain ost certain to cause a loss on eggs
stored in the spring and summer for
the winter market.
Eggs are most plentiful in the
spring and early summer, and the
surplus above current requirements
duling that period is purchased by
merchants and spectators and put in
cold storage to be sold in the fall and
winter when the hens are not laying
freely and arrivals from the country
are not sufficient to meet the demand.
Department Statistics.
liz the case of wheat, statistics COM
piled by the department of agriculture
show that nearly 81 per cent of the
crop is marketed in July, August, Sep
TENDER and October, and 43 per cent
in the remaining eight months.
1t is obvious that someone must be
prepared to buy the surplus during
the season of excessive marketing, and
hold until the season when farm de-
l~ivsries are not adequate to supply the
demand. Tt is cliar also, hat mer-
chants and spectators who make a
speciality of this business are better
equipped to do it economically than
the thousands of farmers scattered
over the country, who cannot possibly
keep as well informed of market con-
di+ions as the big city merchants.
So many factors affect the market
ing of crops and the prices of commo-
dities that appeals to farmers to hold
these crops have never been effective,
and it is obvious that if they were,
the holding policy would defeat its
own purpose by boosting prices in the
after-harvest season and depressing
them with large marketing later.

Months as Average Montana Cow

Averaging Up Well With Minnesota

Kalispell. Comparisons made with
the records of the Dover Cow Testing
association by the Flathead Cow Test
ing association reveal that the high
COWS of this valley are as good as
those of the southwestern Minnesota
dairy section. The tests conducted by
the local association would apparently
make Downey of the Podratz herd
queen of Montana bossies. In the
months of July and August Downey
gave 99.3 pounds of butter fat. Ac-
cording to the state dairy commission,
the average Montana COW gives only
100 pounds of butter fat a year. Dow
ney came within seven-tenths of a
pound of giving that much in two
months.
Through scientific farm testing, the
farmers of this section hope to elm
mate the poorer COWS, thus making the
average better year by year.
The monthly tests conducted by the
association show a steady improve
ment in the Flathead stock.

It does not pay to hold your crop
for speculative purposes, is the con-
clusion of j. E Pope of Big Timber,
who has compiled an elaborate series
of tables of monthly prices of wheat,
corn, oats and cotton for the past ten
years. Mr.. Pope is of the opinion
that farmers who sold these products
in the first two or three months of
the crop year during this period Jared
better than those who held for six
months or more, before selling. There
were exceptional years when changed
conditions caused advances after har-
vest, but under normal conditions the
figures show that the prices estab-
lished at the beginning of the season
as a result of the consensus of opin-
ions of dealers and producers closely
approximate the average of prices
prevailing throughout the year.
In the case of commodities that are
subject to extensive speculative deal
ings, it is not unusual for over-confi-
dent speculative buying to make
prices higher in the first few weeks of
the crop year than at any subsequent
period, and the notion that speculat-
ors depress prices when farmers are
marketing products in greatest guam
titles is not confirmed by the average
price movements for ten years.
This experience is not confined to
the speculative markets. A COMPARE
son of monthly prices for a series of
years, Of potatoes, hay and apples, by
DIR. H. Gilbertson of the department
of agriculture, shows that the growers
lose more often than they gain by
holding these products also.

Take Seed Potatoes From
Big Yielding Hills

Next year seed should be selected from high yielding hills.
Everyone who has dug potatoes knows what satisfaction there is in
turning out an unusually high yielding hill. The enthusiastic farmer
will fairly gloat over the profuson of handsome tubers, and even the
dullest of laborers will remark to himself or his fellow workmen.
THAT'S some hill"
It is from such hills that seed for next years crop should be select
ed. Practical growers and experiment stations all over the country
have found that increased yields Can be secured in this manner. Select
at digging time those hills which produce the largest number of mar
ketable tubers regardless of the fact that there may be numerous small
potatoes in addition to a certain number of large ones, The small
ones are as valuable for seed purposes as the larger ones in the hill for
they all have the same inheritance.
Set a standard of at least eight u nine good marketable potatoes for
each hill and separate those high producing hills from the rest of the
crop. The results of such selection will show the first year and will
more than pay for the trouble of separating the seed at harvest. A
selection must be made every year as the high yielding seed does not
transmit this characteristic through but one generation.

SOME WAR TIME
WHEAT PRICES

The grain men say that wheat
may go to SO a bushel before
January l. Wheat has been
much higher than that, though
not in many years.
It was SO cents in 1888, after
our revolutionary war, and rose
yearly to 1895, touching So, al
though the average was $2.48.
The Napoleonic wars were ended
in 1916. Wheat sold then at
$1.76. Tt rose to $2.85 in 1917.
In the American civil war wheat
went from 81 cents in 1851 to
1928 in 1854, but reached its
highest mark, $2,85, in the
spring of 1867. This was just 30
years after it had touched the
same figure in 1917. Does that
mean that it will again reach
$2.85 a bushel when the half
century recurs in 1917?
The superstitious may think
SO, but it is only possible to say
that studies Of the relations of
wars and wheat prices show that
in three instances prices rose
higher after the end of hostili-
ties than while they were rag
ing. When this occurred it fol-
lowed long and exhausting con-
flicts similar to the present war.
From this is has been thought
that wheat may reach new price
levels after the close of the war
now in progress.

conditions especially in the matter of
