TO BE LABELED.
State Agricultural Commissioner An
nOunces that Data on Tests on
Purity and Amount of Foreign
Seed Must be Given; Inspection to
be Made.

Seed offered for sale in Montana
hereafter will have to be labeled in
accordance with the states pure
seed law" it was announced by Ches-
ter C. Davis. state commissioner Of
agriculture. His statement followed
a conference with Professor Clyde
Mckee, agronomist at the BoZeman
agricultural college, and Professor
w. 0. Whitcomb, superintendent of
the state seed laboratory at Bozeman.
At this conference a slight con-
fusion in two state laws regarding
seed inspection, testing and the en-
forcement of the pure seed law salts
factorily settled The department Of
agriculture, charged in the law
creating the department with the
duty of administering the law, will
handle all inspection. Investigations
and will enforce the statute. The
Bozeman college officials will make
all the tests required in the work, in
addition to making free tests for
farmers Of all seed bought or offered
for sale.
The pure seed law provides that
seed offered for sale in quantities OF
more than pound shall be labeled
plainly, telling the variety, the nurity
by test and the amount of foreign
seed contained and the variety of the
foreign seed. The design of the law
is to protect growers in the introduce
ton of better varieties Of crops. ANY
person who chooses to do so may sell
seed under the state law, but he must
first comply with the requirements
regarding purity.

Owners of 5000 cattle brands
in Montana face the possibility of
losing their exclusive right to the
use Of these brands If they fail to
re.record them before January 1,
1922. The last legislature passed
law requiring Reorganization be.
fore that date.
When the law was approved the
recorder of brands had 90, 900 pro.
tcctcd designs on his books, it is

lips of the state livestock commits.
sion. He believes that half of
these were ''live'' brands in actual
use by stockmen. Only 1875
had been re-recorded Wednesday,
leaving total Of more than o, 700
to come in in the next two months
if the law is to be complied with.
The fee for re-registration Of a
brand is 25 cents, Phillips said.
If the brand owners right is for.
feited through failure to act with
in the time limit, he has to make
a new record, at q cost of ~, at
the same time taking his chances
with any other person who fancies
the same distinguishing mark for
his stock.
Montana brands were last re-re-
corded in 1911 and 1912, two years
then being given to complete the
work. The new law suecifies that
there shall be re-registration
every ten years hereafter. That
brings the next one along in 1881.
Large numbers of stOckmen are
waking to the limited time they
have to make re-registration, Phil
lips said. the daily average being
beyond the 100 mark now. Great
err activity is vital, however, If all
are to be protected within the
period prescribed in the law.

The ranchers at the mouth OF
SW eeny creek have combined for the
purpose Of experimenting on the
novel plan Of building an immense
ice glacier il the canyon and in this
manner conserve the supply of water
for irrigation during the dry months
of the summer. Sweeny Creek is in
the Bitter Root Valley.
According to E. G. Matthews, who
is secretary of the organization, there
is a strong belief that the plan will
work out successfully and he states
that it is the full intention to carry
the experiment far enough to make
thorough test.
At a meeting last week of the
Sweeny creek water users, Aaron
Krump was named chairman, Mr..
Mathews secretary, and j. E. Thill
treasurer. It was voted to proceed
at once to purchase sufficient guam
tity of pipe to tap one of the largest
of the mountain lakes, which are sit
uated close to the head of the can
yon. The water from this lake will
be carried through the pipe, which is
to be laid upon trusses and carried
out till it has reached a considerable
elevation from the bottom of the can
yon. A spray is then attached and
the water allowed to run through the
cold months of the winter.
It is stated that in this manner q
mountain Of ice can be made in the
course of few months and that it
will melt gradually in the spring and
supply an ever-increasing water sup
ply as the dry weather approaches in
the summer.
Mr.. Mathews states that this ex-
pertinent will not be an expensive
one and that it is believed it will be
more satisfactory than the lake res
ervoir. The experiment will be
watched with interest.

PACKERS BILL OPPOSED
BY THOMAS E. WILSON
Presents Argument to House Com.
mittee Considering Norris
Mclaughlin Measure.

Fluctuations in the live stock mar
ket are largely due to the unscientific
and inefficient system employed by
producers in marketing their prod
ucts. and the real trouble at the base
OF the whole question is not so much
4 packers problem as it is a pro-
ducer's problem. Thomas e. Wilson
Of Chicaf1o. president Of the Institute
OF American Meat Packers told the
House committee on agriculture to-
day in appearing in opposition to the
Norris bill to control the
packing industry.
Mr.. Wilson, who said he spoke for
the 200 packing companies which
comprise the membership of the insti-
tute. told the committee that legisla-
ton of the sort proposed would sim
ply serve to divert the largest single
industry in America from energetic
efforts to adjust itself to a changed
and difficult situation. The result
he said. would be quite as harmful to
the live stock producers as to the
packing industry itself. as the inter.
est Of the producers is so closely in.
terwoven with that of the packers
that what is injurious to one is bound
to prove harmful to the other.
