TREASURE STATE FARM AND LIVESTOCK
MONTANA QUARANTINE AGAINST ALFALFA
HAY FROM IDAHO AND UTAH MAY MEAN "A
SERIOUS SHORTAGE HERE NEXT WINTER

Formerly thousands of tons oil
Idaho alfalfa, raised outside of the
counties infested with the alfalfa
weevil, which were quarantined, was
shipped to Montana each year. Under
the quarantine order as it now stands
no railroad running through Idaho
can load hay for shipment into Mon
tana.
This means that there will be prac-
tically two places from which alfalfa
hay can be secured, the states OF
Washington and oregon. l. means
that unless the Montana farmer
| grows more alfalfa hay he will lie
up against a greater shortage of hay
next year, and higher prices, than
prevailed this year. The state of
Utah has long been on Montana's
quarantine list because the state is
a developing ground for the dread
ed alfalfa weevil.
The quarantine order, recently is
sued by the governor, affects the fol-
lowing:
1. Alfalfa hay and other hays of
all kinds and cereal straws, except
ing the material known locally in
Utah as salt grass packing hay,
which shall be admitted into Mon
tana provided that such material be
cut only between the dates of Octo-
Der 1 and April 1, and that the rak-
ing, shocking, stacking, baling or
shipping of this material as a COM
mercial product be allowed only
after the maximum daily tempera-
ture of the season has fallen below
60 degrees F. Provided further that
a certificate be required from the
crop pest inspector of the state of
Utah showing that these require
ments have been met, which certifi-
cate shall accompany each shipment.
Provided further that no salt grass
packing hay shall be held over in the
field from one season to another. The
use of salt grass hay as a packing
material in shipments of fruit, crock
cry and other materials is permitted
provided said salt grass hay has been
cut and removed from the field be-
tween October 1 and April 1 as above
specified and stored in warehouses
removed from alfalfa fields, alfalfa
hay or other suspected materials.
2. Fresh fruits and vegetables, ex-
elusive of potatoes, excepting under
the following regulations:
(a) Shipments for Montana to be
made only from points designated
by the recognized state pest inspec-
ton officers of the state shipping in

STOCKCROWERS TO
MEET in BILLINGS
PROMINENT SPEAKERS FROM
EAST AND WEST BOOKED;
500 WILL ATTEND

An unusually strong program of
speakers is being arranged for the
thirty-fifth annual convention of the
Montana Stock Growers association
to be held in Billings on April 20-21,
according to the announcement of E.
r. Price, chairman of the general
committee on arrangements. These
speakers will come from as far east
as Chicago, and Portland in the west
and will represent the large packing
interests as we'll as the banking in
terests of their particular sections.
Chicago, Omaha, ST.. Paul, Kansas
City, Sioux City, and other large CEN
ters are expected to furnish their
quota of speakers and delegates and
the convention promises to be one
of the most interesting in point of
attendance, as we'll as the scope of
the subjects covered, ever held in the
history of the association.
To Restock Ranges
Livestock men of Montana and
Wyoming appreciate the fact that
some definite steps must be taken to
restock the ranges. The %unfavor-
able conditions of the past two years
and the fact that stock has been
shipped from the state in large guam
titles have served to decrease the
number of range cattle and sheep
materially. Leaders in the movement
state that efforts will be made to
not ony increase the number of cat
tie and sheep on the ranges but ele-
vate the grades and that more high

The sale of the Montana Hereford
Breeders Association, of registered
Herefords, to be held at Billings,
Mont. on the 21st day of April, 1920,
iudging from the class of entries re-
ceiyed from the states best breeders,
bids fair to be a record breaker, o
as to class and the number OF cattle
entered. One hundred and thirty
four animals will be offered for sale.
Never before has such a bunch OF
high class cattle been gotten toge-
ther in the northwest, and there was
never a more opportune time than
the present to start a registered herd
az the demand for registered Here
ford bulls to go into the beef herds
of the state and adjoining stock rails
ing states of the northwest is such
hat there are not enough registered
herds in the state to supply it. Some
of the good cattle have been entered
bv the following breeders:
w. HI. Donald, of Melville, the man
who recently paid $500 for a year
ling bull to head his herd, has en-
tered eight head of cattle that are
representative of his good herd.
Thos. H. Tice, of Logan, has en-
tered four bulls from the famous old
Tice herd. The Tice cattle were
among the first registered cattle
brought to Montana.
It. w. Yates, of Fishtail, has two
good young polled bulls. This will
be a chance for the breeders of poll
ed cattle to get something that will
fmnroye their herd.
Paul Pickering, of Carlyle, close to
the North Dakota border, has enter
ed eight head of good young females,
some having calves at foot and re-
bred. Part of these are polled and
there is a strong demand for this
kind of stock at the present time.
w. o. Pound & Sons, of Lavina,
have entered nine head of very choice
cattle. Four good cows, three of
them selling open and the other bred
to Beau Gallatin 18th, and five good
young bulls that are representative
of this herd, M of the Oldest and
best in the state.

ures, which will be many, while the
business sessions will be held either
in the large assembly hall of the
commercial club or in some of the
large theaters. Advices from a large
number of Montana and Wyoming
cities indicate that they will be well
represented and many are coming by
special train.
Arrange Tor Special Trains
The cities of Helena and Great
Falls are already arranging for spe-
cial trains and Mr.. Price states that
the number of inquiries received in
dicates early interest in the coming
big gathering. Advices from Gov
ernor Stewart have it that he will at
tend unless some other engagement
equires his attention. He is in very
hearty accord with the movement
and realizes the Importance of the
convention and the campaign to re-
stock the ranges this year.
Wallis H%uidekoper, president of
the association, states that he con-
siders this convention the most i'm
portant in the history of the associa-
ton for the reasons mentioned and
that he also looks for the largest at
tendance thus far recorded.
Billings is preparing to spend sew
eral thousand dollars in the enter
tainment of the visitors and a special
committee of the commercial club
is meeting regularly to outline all
the details so that nothing will be
left undone.

Prince Rupert 49th, n of their well
known herd bulls. The other has a
heifer calf by Forest King, which
also sells with her dam. Also a
young bull that has quality and
class to go into some good herd.

four head: three COWS and n of
his herd bulls, King George. This
bull is an extra good breeder and
weighs 1920 pounds. Mr.. Leland

Montana farmers are apt to be
more up against it to get hay next
year than they were this year.
That is not the statement of an
alarmist but is based on facts as pre-
sented in the state at this time
There is one remedy and only one
that remedy is in the hands of the
Montana farmers themselves and can
be effected by the planting and rails
ing of more hay in this state.
The reason more hay must be
grown is because of a quarantine is
sued by Governor S. V. Stewart
against all alfalfa hay grown in the
state of Idaho. The issuing of this
quarantine became necessary because
of the alfalfa weevil, a bug which
means sure death to the alfalfa crop.
Formerly the state of Idaho main
tanned a quarantine in the state
against those counties in which the
alfalfa weevil thrived. During that
time and under those conditions the
counties in Idaho, not infested by
the weevil, were permitted to ship
hay into Montana.
Recently the state of Idaho took
down the quarantine bars from the
infested counties and permitted those
counties to ship infested hay to other
parts Of the state. In order to pro-
tect Montana alfalfa, where the wee
vii has not gotten a hold yet, it be-
came necessary for Governor Stew
art to issue a quarantine order
against the entire state of Idaho.
