gils and IA boars, at Billings on
Thursday, February 10. The white
belted hog has earned an important
place on corn belt farms, and those
who saw the entries of the Hysham
breeders at the Billings fair last fall
know that they have good stock.
Sixty head of sows and gifts, bred
to boars of the most popular blood
lines, constitute the combination Of
fer of Duroc-Jerseys which Otto
Maurer and A. B. McVay of Great

Notwithstanding the setback which
the pork-making industry in Mon
tana received during the hard sea
son of 1919-192O, breeders of pure
bred swine all over the state are
pushing forward with more vigor
than ever before in developing good
stock and offering it to the farmers.
Three bred SOW sales to be seld this
month in Great Falls and Billings
indicate the interest which the pure

SHOWING DECLINE.
DURING PAST TWO YEARS RE-
DUCTION AMOUNTED TO
20 PER CENT
Large Shipments Made Out of the
State Because of Drought of Last
Year; Sharp Decline in Wool Out
put; State Has 100000 Swine,
$40, 900 Horses and 5000 Mules.

Montana's cattle holdings have
been reduced 28 per cent in the last
two years and 16 per cent in the last
year, according to the annual report
of F. w. Beier, Jr., of Helena, field
agent for the federal bureau of crop
estimates. Sheep reductions since
1918 are % per cent. There is an in
crease of IL IL per cent in swine
since 1919, bringing the number
back where it was in 1918. The
same number of horses and mules are
reported as last year and about the
same as the year before.
The decrease in the states herds
and flocks was caused by the hay
shortage during the drought.
BEERS figures are up to Deem
Der 81, 1920. They show that at
that time the state had $4,000 mich
COWS and $4,000 head of other cat
tie, a total of 100000. This makes
a reduction of $4,000 head since
1919 and 100000 since 1918.
Figures on sheep show there were
2,45O,0OO in 1920, with 2,330,000 in
1919 and 2,791,000 in 1918. In
1918 there was a reduction of 1884,
900 compared with 1917. This makes
a decrease of 10000 since 1919 and
$4,000 since 1918. And when the
of 1917 is added, Montana
has lost $4,000 sheep in four years.
The state has 100000 swine, $780,
900 horses and 5000 mules.
Montana's wool crop has fallen
from 37,669,000 pounds in 1909 to
Is, 900 in 1920.

More settlers are expected in Mon
tana during the year, than any year
since 1916, according to Charles ID.
Greenfield, agricultural development
agent of the Great Northern in Mon
tana. In speaking of the influx OF
settlers to this state in 1921 he said:
There is every reason to believe
the number of new settlers that will
come to Montana this year will far
exceed the number who have come
to Montana in any year since 1916.
There is good reason for this pre-
diction. In the middle west land
values have increased to such an ex-
tent that renters find it difficult to
meet increased rents and they are
looking to the cheap but more pro-
ductive lands of Motnana for new
homes. To aid in this movement the
Great Northern railway will put in
homeseekers' rates early in the
spring.
con a recent trip in Northern
Montana I found the people in tina
section of the state optimistic as to
the future, Notwithstanding four
poor crop years. This optimism was
prevalent with the merchants in the
towns as we'll as those engaged in
farming. It's a long road that has
no turn the ysay, and they expect
the turning point this year.
"While Northern Montana has not
attracted as yet very much attention
In connection with oil development,
men engaged in the business are of
the opinion that within the next six
months that section will be attract
ing a great deal of attention. In
Toole and Blaine and other counties
large areas have been mapped and
thousands of acres have been leased,
and in the vicinity of Shelby and
Dunkirk drilling will commence, l am
told, in the near future. In the vic
unity of Choteau, in Teton county,
holders of land are so confident
there is oil, that three drilling rigs
recently been received and work
will begin as soon as they are set up.
'"Four years of deficient rainfall
have convinced farmers in Northern
Montana of two things. One is that
wherever possible it will be the part
of wisdom to put water on the land
and a number of irrigation districts
have been created with that object
in view. In the aggregate these pro-
posed irrigation systems will put wat
or on several hundred acres of land.
another thing those who have en-
gagged exclusively in grain farming
have learned is they must diversity
crops, keep a few mich COWS,
raise hogs and keep poultry.
"The Great Northern proposes to
cooperate so far as possible in BRING
ing about a system of diversified

Bank of North Dakota.

The auditors who examined the
condition of the Bank of North Da-
kota have reported finding assets of
$~18,830,0O0 and liabilities of $16,-
100000. Criticism is made of the
amount invested in 30-year farm
loans, placed at $~2,599,OOO, and adj
vances to state institutions. The re-
port coments on the fact that the
bank found it advisable to draw on
deposits of public funds in local
banks, and said this decreased the
ability of local banks to assist local
merchants and farmers at the time
of their greatest need.

Affairs Of wholesale liquor dealers
In Kentucky are being investigated by
prohibition agents, It was learned
Tuesday on the arrival in Louisville OF
J. Sherman Porter and W. B. stanfield,
inspectors. Mr. Porter is chief Inspec-
tor in Kentucky.
The liquor dealers are being reouir-
ed to disclose the amount of liquor on
hand. Those who have no liquor are
being forced to turn over their per-
mits to the inspectors. Eight such
permits have been collected.
The Investigation was ordered by
Sam Collins, State Prohibition Direc-
tor, to discover whether the lluuor
dealers. whose business was proscrib-
ed in January, have followed orders to
dispose Of their stocks.
There are thirty wholesale dealers
In the state, according to the Inspec-
tors. One Louisville dealer has $4,000
gallons OF whisky on hand. Others
have varying quantities down to 100
gallons.
The delay in carrying out the order
to sell the liquor as soon as possible
has been caused by large stocks of gin
and brandy, the inspectors said. The
market for these liquors is dull.

CHECK WORKER
GETS AWAY WITH I
S12 FROM GROCER
Check offered BY Stranger Is Cashed
BY East End Grocer Tuesday Eve.
nirg - Flour Purchased Is
Found Discarded.

tuesday evening a strange young
man appearing to be about sixteen or
seventeen years of age entered the
grocery of Mr.. John Boiling in East
second street, Fifth ward, and pur-
chased small sack OF flour and an
ice cream cone. In payment for the
purchase he offered check for thir-
teen dollars which he claimed had
been given him by a Mason county
farmer for work. The purchase came
to slightly over one dollar and to
make the change even money, the gro
Ger gave him twelve dollars in cash.
Shortly after the young man had left
with his purchase and the twelve dol
lars In cash, the grocer began to in
vestigate the check and he soon found
that no such farmer lived in Mason
county and that no such man had an
account in any Of the local banks.
The matter was reported Immediate
ly to the police who started an investi-
CATION. They had little clews upon
which to work but soon found that the
sack Of flour which the young man
had purchased had been thrown away
by him when only about square from
the store. This leads the police to be-
lieve that the youngster who worked
the deal was professional check
worker.
Other East End grocers report that
young man with check for thirteen
dollars had tried to get them to cash
the paper during Tuesday afternoon
but they had all refused him.
The young man has not been located
and is expected by this time to be
many miles from Maysvlle.

KENTUCKY OIL
MEN ARE LOOKING
FOR BETTER Times
No Radical Change Is Expected But
Expert Says II VIII Ultimately
Get Back to Normal
= '. Basis.

With the value Of Kentucky oil pro-
duction down to approximately one
million dollars a month, less than one
third Of its value eighteen months ago,
oil men in the Kentucky fields are
looking for better times ahead"
which many profess to foresee. q,
"Well informed oil men don't think
there will be radical change quick"
Howard r. Levick, Jr., manager Of the
Associated Producers Companys op-
erations in this state, said. although
all feel that the oil business in due
time will be back In its stride
There are a number Of reasons for
the price being the lowest in more
than ten years, he said. Importation
from Mexico is running around one
half million barrels daily, figures
show production in the United States
is greater than 1t has been in some
time, and the market for refined pro-
ducts is almost at standstill. The
surplus oil in storage Is said to be
greater than at any time in a number
Of years.
Gasoline is the only product that is
being consumed to any great extent
Consumption in May, this year, in
creased about ten yer cent. over the
same month last year This is consid-
cred a normal increase Mr.. Levick
said.
With prices for the crude product
quoted at 80 cents barrel for Somer-
set and 81 for Somerset light. pro-
ducers cannot realize a profit, Mr.. Le-
wick declares. About eighteen months
ago the Somerset grade was bringing
$3.50 barrel, with some refiners pay
ing premium in addition.
Pipe line companies have restricted
their runs until every tank on a farm
must be filled before the oil will be
moved, according to Mr.. Levick. Con-
sequently he said, additional loss is
entailed by the producer through evap-
Grafton. The light oil in Kentucky
evaporates rapidly and 1t is said as
much as ten per cent. Of tank will
he lost If It stands for any length of
time.
There is comparatively little new
production being brought in, Mr.. Le-
wick said, because Of the low prices.
Wells are being drilled only where
necessary to hold leases. Old proper
ties where the wells are affected by
water and wells that are under vac
uum are being pumped to save them,
he said.

HALF TOBACCO CROP
IN FAYETTE COUNTY.
The Lexington Leader says:

The Lexington Leader says:
. Commissioner Luther Stlvers, one of
the largest tobacco growers in Fayette
county, estimates that the Burley acre
age in this county will not be more
than half that Of last year, he said
Tuesday.
Last year Mr.. Stivers has about S5
acres, but this year he has cut his al
lotment down to 35 acres and he ex-
pressed the opinion, in discussing the
tobacco situation, that many other
growers had made a similar reduction
in their acreage, from the information
that he has.
The growing tobacco crop, Mr..
Stivers says, has been very much set
back by the recent hot wave and the
drouth that has followed in its wake
and the prospect for a normal crop of
the weed in this section is not at all
promising.

ALL NATIONS
BUT JAPAN SEND
Their ACCEPTANCE
Plans For Time md Place Of Allied
Farley Now Uppermost in the
Minds OF Statesmen.

Washington, July 13.-France has
formally accepted President Harding's
invitation to the Powers to partlci-
pate at Washington in his proposed
conference on Limitation of armaments
and problems Of the Pacific and Far
East which menace world peace.
Secretary Of State Charles Evans
Hughes authorized the announcement
late Tuesday afternoon that a COM
munication had been received from
the American Embassy at Paris stat
ing that the Government of France
would be "very pleased to accept" the
invitation rendered by the President of
the United States.
The prompt and favorable response
from France was surprise to those
advocates Of disarmament in the Sen
ate who have been fearful lest the in
clusion in the program outlined by the
President Of land air as well as sea
armament Limitation might cause
France to hesitate.
Yet France, despite her insistence
that she must have large land defenses
as bulwark against Germany is the
first to respond officially to the pro-
posal Of the President for discussion
of general armament limitation.
The Administration confidently ex-
poets that formal acceptances will be
received from all the Powers address,
ed within few days, including Japan,
who, in the minds of some domestic
statesmen, might be inclined to par
ley. before accepting, on the proposal
that the problems of the Pacific and
Far East be taken up for adjustment.
It was stated authoritatively that
informal assurances of the accepta-
bility Of the Presidents invitation had
been received already from nearly all
the Powers" Investigation disclosed
that nearly all" included Great Brit
ain, France, Italy and China, leaving
japan alone yet to be heard from.
Japan's silence thus far is causing
no concern, however, and the prelim-
mary steps have been so favorably re-
ceived that the Administration is be-
ginning to think about the form of the
official call for the conference and the
time It shall be held.
