Various Points by Farmers Coop
erative Companies at Cost of $780,
900, and Potatoes Will Be Market
ed by Farmers Exchange.

A million dollars worth of potatoes
are now growing in Flathead county,
according to H. N. Louis, manager of
the Northwest Potato exchange, in a
statement made at a meeting of the
chamber of commerce when the mat
ter of building storage warehouses
in time to handle the 1920 crop was
presented to the business men in Kali
ispell.
Louis said there were approximate
ly 5000 acres planted in potatoes in
the county this year, and with the
present prospects for yield and price,
he believed that the farmers of the
county will receive at least $1,000
900 for their 1920 crop.
A campaign has been put on thru
out the county to raise funds for the
construction of number of storage
warehouses, all to be built by sone
sWarehouse company and handled by
one concern. Farmers of the valley
have already purchased over $4,000
in the stock of the corporation and
the business men of Poison have also
gotten in for several thousands of
dollars. Kalispell business men will
now be asked to take about $4,000
worth of stock.
Two winter storage warehouses
will be built at Kalispell on the Great

Northern Pacific, and temporary
storage warehouses will be construct
ed at Somers and other points on
Flathead lake, where the potatoes
can be loaded on barges and taken to
either railroad for shipment. Bids
have already been asked for one of
the buildings and work will be push
ed as rapidly as possible. The COM
pete cost of the various warehouses
and equipment will be approximate
ly $4,000.
The Northwest Potato exchange
will market the crop for the growers
this year, and is now engaged in an
extensive advertising campaign in
various parts of the United States in
order to put the Fathead brand of
potatoes on the map. Louis, mana
ger of the exchange, has successful
ly carried out similar projects in 9TH

CASCADE FARMERS
BUILDING SIL0S
AT LEAST TWENTY-FIVE RANCH
MEN WILL CONSTRUCT SILOS
FOR THIS SEASON
Farm Bureau Has Built Form for
1OO-Ton Silo Pit, Which Will Be
Rented to Farmers Who Are Mem
bers of the Farm Bureau; Many
SilOs to be Built.

Preliminary estimates made by F.
e. MacSpadden, county agent, 1nd1-
cate that at least 25 farmers of the
county will construct silos during the
coming summer. He expects that l5
farmers will construct 100-ton pit
siIos. and that 10 farmers will erect
standing silos of concrete, wood or
tile.
The farm bureau is having silo
form built. This form is being made
in Great Falls and will be for 100
ton pit silos. 1t will be rented to the
members of the farm bureau.
Charles H. Greene, who farms on
the Sun River bench, will be the first
farmer to construct pit silo with
the new form. Greene was the first
man to apply. Others in the district
will be given an opportunity to rent
the form as soon as Greene is finish
ed, and the form will then be moved
to various parts of the county.
eve look for the construction OF
many silos in Cascade county this
year" County Agent MacSpadden
said. with favorable conditions, 1t
is certain that at least 25 silos Will
be constructed, including pit silos OF
wood, concrete and tile.
t'The campaign for silos will be
carried on extensively, as the mem
bers of the farm bureau are planning
to have sufficient feed for their cat
tie for the winter months"
MacSpadden will assist the farm
ers in planning desirable silos.

BUTTERFLY BAD
CABBAGE PEST
WHITE FLUTTERER BEGETS THE
CABBAGE-DESTROYING WORM
OF GREEN COLOR
Breed Four Families Year; Pick
ing Them Off While Young or
Using Paris Green Dust Is Effect
i've in Controlling Pests; No DAN
ger From Poison.

The production of cabbage in Mon
tana is very largely dependent upon
the control of the white butterfly
for 1t is the larvae of this insert that
so often destroys the entire crop OF
cabbage. 1t is the cabbage worm, a
medium sized velvety green worm,
which is often quite hard to see on
the leaves of the young plant.
The control measures are based on
the life history and nature of the in
sect. In Montana the white butter
fly winters over in a dormant state
or the pupa stage. In the early spring
the pupa changes into the butterfly
and in a short time the female lays
her eggs on the cabbage plants.
-Four Families Year
The larvae which hatch from these
eggs are the cabbage worms which
feed on the cabbage plants. Soon
these worms reach maturity, pass
into the pupa stage, and little later
the second brood of butterflies
emerges and the life cycle is again
repeated. 1t requires about five
weeks to develop the first brood and
then the time diminishes as the
weather warns up during the sum-
mer, the shortest time required be-
ing about 21 days. In Montana
there are four distinct broods dur
ing the summer.
The control measures are simple
and very effective if they are per-
sistently carried out. One very SIM
pie means is to go over the plants
every few days while they are small
and literally kill the worms. The
use of poison dust is recommended
for the surest means of control of
he worm for they are very hard to
see. This dust is applied every ten
lays unless washed off by rain,
when it is necessary to make another
application of the dust.
Paris Green l. ills Them
An excellent dust for this purpose
,an be made by mixing one table
spoonful of Paris green with one
luart of flour or by mixing two
ablespoonfuls of lead arsenate with
he same amount of flour. Hydrated |
ime may be used as a carrier instead
If the flour.
Either of the dust is applied to
he cabbage plant when the leaves
ire dry. For the bast success in the
control of this pest one should COM
nence on the early broods so that |
here will not be so many to combat
when the cabbage gets into the head |
or then the worm burrows into the |
lead and cannot be well reached by
he poison.
At one time it was thought that
he poison should not be applied after
he head was from a half to two
birds grown but 1t has been found
hat it can be applied safely clear up
o the time of maturity without any
anger to the consumer.

Endorsement of a member bank is
eligible for rediscount or purchase by
federal reserve bank, provided that
it has maturity of not more than
three months from the date of re-
discount, or purchase"
While the boards statement refers
only to acceptances based on bills of
lading, Marshall said, Governor
Harding has called attention to the
provision of the federal reserve act
as to eligibility for discount of pa
per secured by warehouse receipts.
1t was the unanimous opinion of
the wool growers, Marshall said, that
the plan suggested was practical and
feasible and that no extraordinary
difficulty would be encountered in
the necessary financing to carry
along the present seasons wool clip
until normal buying market reas-
serts itself.
The effort. to establish the wool
market of the United States in Chi
cago, he says, Is a move In the right
direction and would result in big
saving in handling this product. At
present the wool shipped to the Mas
sachusetts city has to be trucked
from the railroad to the warehouses
on Summer street, and this is expen-
sive and actually unnecessary work,
for later it has to be loaded on the
cars again and transported to the fac
tories, for none of these plants are
in Boston proper, but In scattered
and outlying cities of that state. III

CLAY DISCUSSES
RANGE CONDITIONS
WE'LL KNOWN COMMISSION MAN
TELLS OF LOSSES OF THE
PAST WINTER
West Confronted With Number of Se-
rious Conditions at Present, but
Its Physical Condition Is Excellent
and Speedy Recovery From Hard
Time Is Expected.

John Clay, of Clay, Robinson &
Co., the oldest livestock commission
house in America, has been in inti-
mate touch with western range con-
ditions for 40 years, and is shrewd
observer of all matters pertaining to
the live stock business. A recent
issue of Clay, Robinson & Co.'s Live
Stock Report contains the following
interesting summary of present con-
ditions in the Rocky Mountain area:
Conditions in Wyoming and Mon
tana from the standpoint of the live
stock men, are very bad. In Idaho
and Utah, while not so bad as in Mon
tana and Wyoming, they are below
the average. Losses in cattle in Wy
oming and Montana during the past
winter have averaged from 10 to 25
per cent and the sheep losses are on
the average of from 10 to IL per
cent. The losses in Idaho and Utah
are not so great but the cost of carr
rying the herds through the winter
of 1920 has been enormous. 1t has
cost on the average probably $50 per
head to carry cattle through the win
ter and from SIS to Sc a head on
sheep. In all my forty years exper-l
ience, until this year I have never
seen the country without few
stacks of hay at the end of the sea-
son.
"a very serious condition exists in
the west with regard to wool. No
wool is moving and it is the money
from the wool that keeps things go
ing through the summer. This con-
dition is due to the great contraction
of credit going on throughout the
United States. Unless some relief is |
obtained this will create a very Sc
rious situation all over the west. All |
we can. do is to hope that either
through the federal reserve banks !,
or through some other agency we
nay be able to get fair amount ad-
7anced on western wool.
1.-THE contraction of credit that |
exists throughout the country is |
brought about in my judgment: first,
by the extravaganza of the govern
nent in Washington. The govern
nent's expenditures are far in ex-
,ess of it's income and until this situ-
alton changes the government will
use all of the cash it needs and which |
t is able to commander through the |
federal reserve banks. ~
Second, the railroads are unable
20 carry on the business of the coun-
ry. Through legislation prior to the
var and through the acts of the IN
erstate Commerce Commission, the
ailroads are unable to keep up with
he times or productive expansion of
he country. The situation went
rom bad to worse through the war,
Intil now, like starved child, the
ailroads are unable to perform what
8 expected of them.
Third, the general want of con-
idence that is running through the
7ho1e business community. Except
hat there is decided change for
he better we will be in for a period
f poor business.
"The physical condition of the
rest is good. Crops are in good shape
nd a speedy recovery from the hard
inter may result. One factor that
to the difficulty in the
rest is the shortage of farm labor.

| William Rea, Jr., of Billings, who
buys for Chicago firm a large por-
| tion of the wool raised in Montana,
and who has been covering the state
during the past two weeks, expresses
a strong hope that the movement to
make Chicago the leading market of
the United States will prove success
full He is also enthusiastic over the
movement initiated by western sena-
tors who met in Chicago last week
to have federal reserve banks finance
the wool growers until such time as
market for this years clip shall
have developed. This movement has
been entirely successful, it is report
ed from Washington.
At present there is no sale for
western wool. Mr.. Rea states that
the manufacturers, besides having
their credit curtailed as a result of
present financial conditions, are
afraid to offer price that the sheep
men will entertain for fear that the
price may go lower later.
Wool Financing Plan
The plan for financing the wool
crop is explained as follows by F. r.
Marshall OF Salt Lake City, secretary
of the National Wool Growers asso-
c1ation.
Under the plan as approved by the
board, Marshall said, "a wool grow
er may ship his wool to one of the
usual points OF distribution, obtain
ing from the railroad bill of lading
for the shipment; the grower may
then draw q draft against his bank
for such an amount as may be agreed
upon between the grower and the
bank, secured by the bill of ladfng.
The federal reserve act authorizes
any member bank to accept draft
secured in this manner at the time
OF acceptance, provided that the draft
natures in not more than six months
from the time Of acceptance. After
acceptance such draft bearing the

There are many unpleasant things
about politics. The strife, the bitter
ness and the alienation Of friends that
it often engenders is disxsteful to
many people and that is one reason why
many good men shun politics. Let ever
so good and upright man run for Of
fee and at once his character is assail-
ed. This is not as it should be. But
Notwithstanding the many unpleasant
features it is necessary for us to have
politics if we are government, and
we think all right minded people will
agree that it is necessary for US to have
some form Of government. Human
beings have not yet arrived at such a
state Of perfection that they can do
away with government altogether.
Evil still exists, selfishness is rampant
and wrong doors must be punished.
For ages people have grouped their way
trying to govern themselves. With all
it's imperfections, we believe our form
of government is the BEST It's ideal is
to let the people rule. The government
we have is no better and no worse than
the people who make it.

his way to an honorable position in his
community. He has held the office Of
Judge Of Probate in Roseau county for
Is years, which fact shows that the
people in his own county, who know him
best, have the utmost confidence in him.
He has also done many things that are
worth Nwhile for this part of the state
For a number of years he had charge
of the Roseau county exhibit at the
state fair and won the first prize for
his county four years in succession.
During the past three years he has
been member of the State Fair Board
and Superintendent of the Agricultural
Division. By all his work in connec-
ton with the State Fair, he has helped
to focus the attention of people upon
the Red River Valley and done much
to advertise our resources. Now let
the voters of the Red River Valley
counties do a good turn for Mike in
return by rolling up big majority for
him in these counties on Monday next.

the name of Mike Holm. He is worthy

The short term tenantry in farming
is the cause Of much poor farming and
the growing menace of weeds of all
kinds. When tenant can secure the
rental of farm for only a year or
two at a time, with no certainty of
having his contract renewed, he can
not very well maugurate a system of
summer following and rotation of crops
that necessarily must extend over a
long period of years. He is compelled
to get immediate returns from the land
for both himself and the owner. Scien-
tific methods of farming cannot be
adopted under the short term tenantry
system and it is no wonder that farms
titled under that system soon become

With so many candidates for COVER
nor on the republican ticket, the compe-
tition in the contest is spirited and the
result somewhat uncertain. Personal
~ we believe all the candidates are
good, clean men, and all of them will
get some votes. But all can not win,
1t seems to us, though, that J. A. O.
Preus is by far the strongest man and
will poll the biggest vote. He has the
Republican organization behind him
and that counts for much. Besides, it
must be admitted that Mr.. Preus is a
very able man, has made a good State
Auditor and will make equally as good
a Governor. We really do not see how
it can be possible to defeat Jake Preus.

pie well.
