remarkable growth and Develop
|ment that characterized the swine
department Of the state fair in 1918
and 1919 was directly due to the
efforts of Davis, who served dur
ing those years as superintendent
|of that department.
Boosts Live Stock Pavilion
He was one of the first to realize
the need of an adequate livestock
pavilion for central Montana and
it was largely through him that
livestock breeders and business
men were interested in the project
which finally resulted in the erec-
tion Of the $4,000 pavilion at
Great Falls last year.
While with the Courier in Boze-
man and during his period of SER
vice with the Montana Farmer
Davis came into intimate relation
ship with the leaders and workers
of the Montana State Experiment
station at Bozeman and the agri-
cultural extension service, and be-
came thoroughly familiar with that
important feature of the agricul-
tural industry.
Born in 1883 and reared on his
fathers farm not far from Des
Moines, Iowa, Davis never had to
cultivate the farmers viewpoint
it was bred into him.
A Farmer Boy
While going to grade school he
MIXED the cows and did the count
less other chores that have to be
done about an Iowa farm. Later
on he worked his way through
high school in neighboring town
doing odd jobs in the winter and
working on farm during the sum-
mers. After finishing high school
he entered Grinnell college from
which he was graduated in 1911
after earning his way throughout
the four years.

CHESTER DAVIS or GREAT FALLS IS NAMED
Mead OF STATE AcRICuL LTuRAL Department

Chester c. Davis of Great Falls
was appointed commissioner of the
new consolidated department of
agriculture of Montana by Cover
nor Joseph NJ. Dixon last week.
Davis is widely known in this
state, where he has been actively
engaged in newspaper work and
for the last four years editor and
manager of the Montana Farmer
of Great Falls.
Davis took up his new duties
on April |, succeeding Charles D.
Greenfield, Sr., of Helena. who has
already assumed the duties con-
nected with the office of agricul-
tural development agent of the
Great Northern in Montana.
AS commissioner of agriculture,
Davis will have charge Of all the
work heretofore performed by the
commissioner of agriculture and
publicity, commissioner of labor
and industry, the commissioner of
dairying, the secretary of the state
fair, and the state horticulturist.
The work will be co-ordinated in
four main divisions OF the new de-
partment of agriculture. as fol-
lows: The division of farming
and dairying. the division of grain
standards and marketing. the divi-
sion of labor and publicity, and
the division of horticulture.
The appointment of Davis brings
to mind the story of John Alden
and Miles Standish. Davis was
not an applicant for the position
but he called upon the governor
last week to urge. in the interests
of the farming industry Of the
state, the appointment OF one of
the leading agricultural authorities
of Montana, who likewise was not
one of the large list of applicants.
The governor, instead of acting .on
the recommendations of Davis. de-
liberately offered the appointment
to him and insisted upon its ac-
ceptance.
Praised by Governor
In discussing the appointment.
Governor Dixon made the follow
ing statement:
I'm the selection of Chester c.
Davis as commissioner of agricul-
ture, I have but one purpose in
view, that of finding the one man
in the state who would bring to the
new department OF agriculture the

| had to draft him. He felt that
in his chosen life work for the dew
elopment of agriculture in Mon
tana he had already found his place
as editor of the Montana Farmer.
Had to Persuade Him
II had to persuade him that in
the new position as head of real
department of agriculture his field
of service to Montana would be
broadened.
He will have carte blanche in the
organization of the new depart
ment.

ment. want to produce an or
ganization selected with the one
outstanding idea of efficiency and
service to the agricultural interests
of Montana.
81 have full faith that in the fu-
ture the farmers of the state will
find the department OF agriculture
under Mr.. Davis supervision. a
place for common meeting ground,
where they can gather for council

SPRING FEEDING
AND FALL M0LTINC
CHICKENS NOT GIVEN GRAIN IN
SPRING MONTHS USUALLY
MOLT EARLIER
Various Points That Should be Given
Careful Consideration in Culling
Flock: Mistakes that an Amateur
Is Likely to Make Along This
Line.

"An i'll kept flock cannot he culled
with any degree Of success" H. L..
Harris. poultry extension specialist
in the Kansas State Agricultural COL
lege. said recently. Most farmers
fail to give their hens the proper
amount of grain in the early spring,
thus partially starving them. Then
when the harvest comes on the birds
get a sudden increase in grain, re-
sulting in premature molting. This
gives many the idea that the birds
that mott from this cause are poor
producers. as usually the early mott
er is poor layer"
The best time to Gull the flocks Is
when majority of the hens start to
molt. This is usually in August or
September. At this time the packers
cheaper the market because they do
not want the culled birds. It Is best
to sell the discarded birds at this time
because the fattening process is ex-
pensive.
The mistake that many make is
the culling of pullets. The birds
should never be culled until they have
developed fully. unless they are out
of condition or deformed.
The hen with the large body capa-
city is the heavy producer. The rear
should be horizontal, the back of the
body under the tail should drop near
~ straight down and the breast bone
should be straight. The breast should
be large and the ribs springy. The
comb should be we'll developed, hav-
ing a warm and soft appearance, and
at the same time feeling slightly
soapy to the touch. The comb should
not be thick and beefy, as this is an
indication Of coarse stock. The vent
on the layer will be large and moist.
while the non-layer will have a small
and apparently dry vent.
Thousands Of laying hens have
been sacrificed by the amateur cutler
by reason Of his going too much ON
the pelvic bone theory. Ordinarily
the laying hens pelvic bones are
spread apart enough for q man to
place three fingers between them. II
a hen has only one finger spread
between her pelvic bones, she Is
probably not laying. but two fingers
may be good. three fingers are good,
and four or five fingers are excep-
tionally good. This method should
not be relief on unless other indica-
tions Geek up to standard. as other
things, such as fat, may be the cause
of the spread.
The pullet. IL bird with yellow
legs and bill, will have much pigmen-
tation. After she has laid heavily for

building up the paper. not a little
of his success being due to the
manner in which he completely
covered the agricultural section of
the papers field.
In 1913 he left Miles City to
accept the editorship of the Boze-
man Weekly Courier, Montana S
oldest weekly newspaper, then pub
lished under the management of
the late Henry F. Sears. There in
the famous Gallatin valley. one of
the richest agricultural districts of
the west, the Courier developed un-
veloped under Davis direction un-
til it became known throughout the
state not only as one of the most
successful and progressive news
papers in Montana but also for the
intelligent handling of agricultural
problems through its editorial de-
partment.
Attains Huge Success
\ still greater field for service to
the agricultural industry Of the
state was opened to Davis in 1917
when he accepted the editorship
and management of the Montana
Farmer, published in Great Falls,
the position which he leaves to be-
come commissioner of the new de-
partment of agriculture. Here
again Davis keen insight into the
farmers problems and his unusual
executive ability enabled him to at
tain remarkable success and he de-
veloped the Montana Farmer into
one of the outstanding farm jour-
mails of the west. That his editorial
ability in handling agricultural
questions and in dealing with the
important farmers movements that
have been inaugurated during the
last few years has been recognized
throughout the country is indicat-
ed by the frequency with which he
has been quoted in other national
and state farm papers and other
periodicals throughout the United
States.
Has Wide Following
The sympathetic and intelligent
understanding of farming prob
lens and farmers movements
which he evidenced through the
paper and in his association with
numerous agricultural organiza-
tions and enterprises has given him
a wide following among the farm
ers and stockmen of the state.
Davis was largely instrumental
in the organization of the Mon
tana Hereford Breeders associa-
ton, the Montana Poland-China
Breeders association and other
state livestock organizations and
has been closely in touch with all
of the important progressive farm
ers' movements in the state during
the past four years: Through his
work on the paper and as vice
president of the Cascade County
Farm Bureau he has gained first

reau movement in Montana. The
