TREASURE STATE FARM AND LIVESTOCK
$2,5OO,OOO ADVANCE
TO MARKET WHEAT

Through the efforts of leading
local banks, the Montana Wheat
Growers association has just beer
extended a credit of s1,000,000 by
a syndicate of banks, represented by
the Mercantile Trust Company OF
San Francisco. This credit is in adj
dition to the credit of $1,5OO,0O0 re-
Gently extended by the war finance
corporation. This outside capital will
be brought into the state to be used
wholly in making advances to Mon
tana farmers on their wheat, in order
that they may receive rs per cent of
the value of their grain and also take
advantage of the entire seasons price,
under the marketing program of this
Montana association. A. T. Matthew,
reresenting the Mercantile Trust,
made special trip to Montana from
San Francisco to investigate the
standing of the local banks and of
the Montana Wheat Growers associa-
ton, comforting at length with Presi-
dent w. ]. Johnson of the First Ma
tional bank, o. w. Belden of the
Bank of Fergus County and Manager
C. M. Strawman and Secretary-Treas-
d.
ers' association. The result of it all
is the extension of this million dollar
credit. The San Francisco bank, with
resources of over 100000, 900, has
had. it is understood, extended eX
perience with cooperative marketing
organizations, and it is fayorably i'm
pressed with the operations of the
various farmers cooperative market
ing organizations of the northwest. /
Mr.. Matthew believes that the solu-
tion of the farmers present financial
difficulties lies largely in their abil-
ity to organize for cooperative mar
keting, under the plan being followed |
by the Montana association. This or
ganization started last year with a
membership of about 1900, which |
has now been increased to 5000. 1t /
is one of the state units of the group /
comprised of Washington, Oregon,
Idaho, Montana and North Dakota, all
affiliated under a selling agency
known as the Northwest Wheat
Growers Associated, with sales Of
fices in Portland, Seattle, Spokane,
Lewistown, Minneapolis and Duluth
and having it's own export agency in
one of the largest importing grain
firms in the world, located at London
1t is considered worthy of note that
the local bankers and by far the
larger proportion of banks of Mon
tana, as we'll as such institutions as
the Mercantile Trust Company of
San Francisco, should be in hearty I
with the orderly marketing
program of the association and that
all are doing everything in their {
power to lend the financial assistance {
necessary to assure its success.

This question has been asked from
time to time by observing stockfuel
and farmers, and in order to anSwe
| it, it will be necessary to go some
what deeper into the important rol'
mineral matter plays in the bringing
up of livestock. Just as vitamines ar
an essential factor in the feeding
problem of animals, so are certain
mineral substances an absolute re
quirement for the maintenance ane
production of well developed and
healthy livestock.
The problem is not only a qualita-
tive one, but also a cumulative one.
The lack of sufficient mineral matter
in the feeding ration of livestock will
lead sooner or later to disastrous re-
suits. Mineral deficiency in food is
just as detrimental to the production
of good milk and butterfat ~ dairy
COWS as lack of protein would be
in their diet Government experts
have long ago found out that the
feeding of rations rich in calcium,
phosphorus and other mineral ele-
ments together with protein rich sub
stances have a very marked effect
upon increasing the quantity of milk
production. Most observing dairymen
are aware of this fact and supply
their COWS occasionally with lime AMI
phosphoric acid bearing material.
The feeding of dairy cattle obvi-
ously necessitates the introduction of
amounts of such min

not only for bone formation, but also
in the production of the milk con-
stituents especially the milk solids.
There being a constant elimination of
matter, it is necessary that
the latter must be kept up in proper
ton to it's withdrawal.
In dry and hot seasons the grasses
and other fodder plants are relatively
poor in mineral matter, and naturally
in such years this fact must have
a direct influence upon the condition
of the livestock
In Montana and other northwestern
states acres and acres of land are rich
in alkaline mineral matter. Such

MIL WAUKEE ROAD
TO BUILD NORTH?
REPORTED AT KALISPELL THAT
PLAN FOR EXTENSION TO CAN
ADA HAS STRUCK SNAG
Plans May Be Altered and Another
Route be Followed; Rumored that
Railroad is Interested in Big I'm
developed Areas of Coal Lands
North of Columbia Falls.

Speculation is rife at Kalispell a,
to the probable intention of the Mil
waukee railroad in revising its pro
jected line plans from the Swan val
ley north through the North Fork
valley to the Canadian line.
The original survey for this ex.
tension was made 10 years ago but
when, during July the government
sought to have the right-of-way va
Gated, the company asked for and
received a renewal.
More recently the federal power
board notified officials of the com
pany that the projected right-of-way
was infringing upon certain areas re-
served for power site purposes and in
reply thereto the district engineer of
the road, located at Butte, wrote to
the local land office saying that he
had been instructed by the Seattle
offices to put an engineering crew
into the field at once and revise the
location in accordance with the power
boards request.
The proposed extension leaves the
present main line near Missoula and
thence runs northward up the Black
foot and Clearwater rivers to the div
ide, thence down the Swan river val
ley and skirting the base of the Koot-
enai range east of Kalispell, runs
north through Columbia Falls and I'D
the valley of the North Fork to the
Canadian line.
According to current rumor the

walton. During such starvation the
nervous system of the animals suf-
fer perceptibly, there is also marked
weakness of the limbs, trembling OF
the muscles, commissions and great
excitability. While, however, the
vital processes depend greatly upon
the presence of various salts, yet they
must be kept normal in the blood.
otherwise serious disturbances will
result. The regulating organs for
that are in large measure the kid
neys, protecting the animal against
an unbalanced content of mineral
matter by promptly excreting any ex-
cessive amount which may be present
| While for example common salt
stimulates the secretion of the diges-
tive fluids, hastens the circulation of
the body fluids and prevents diges-
| tive disturbances, yet an excessive
consumption of salt must be guarded
against, since it greatly increases the
amount of water excreted in the
urine. This causes an abnormal thirst
and the animals will drink large
quantities of water which impairs di-
gestion and leads to other disorders.
Some investigators claim that large
doses of salt will cause decided toxic
and even dangerous effects in ami
mails.
However, if salt is judiciously and
regularly supplied and the animals
have at any time access to it, they
will consume only enough to meet
the needs of their body. Lime and
phosphorus as we have seen are
necessary elements for bone forma-
tion lover 80 per cent of the bones
consist of calcium phosphate), while
soda and chlorine are essential for
the proper function of the digestive
juices. Deprive the animal of these
elements and they will become in
active, stop development and finally
die. We must regard the animal or
ganism as an institution, in which
simple organic and inorganic mate
rial is constantly synthesised into
more complex bodies essential to the
proper physiological functions of the
various organs. Such chemical ac-
ton constitutes life, without it it
means death.
To keep this complex process of
tearing down and building up going,
it requires continual replacement of
certain chemicals and therefore the
judicious selection of proper food
which contains them.
From the foregoing we have seen
that in order to KEEP animals in sound |
and strong condition, the factor of
supply with mineral elements must |
not be overlooked. A COW in normal
condition, with regular access to good |
wholesome food rich in all the neces-
sary inorganic and organic constitu-
ents will not go hunting for bones to
chew. Only where a deficiency of GER
tain mineral substances exists, will |
she do SO, and 1t can be prevented by
supplying her regularly with rations
containing phosphate of lime and
other mineral substances or by plac-
ing ticks containing these elemtns.

officers assigned for duty in the air
and examination must be made by
competent doctors, either regular
medical officers who have graduated
from the flight surgeons school or, in
special cases, National Guard medi-

YOUNG AVIATOR
PLUNGES TO DEATH

Richmond, Va, May 31.-As his
loved ones watched him perform
stunts in the air, Second Lieut.. Will
lam Austin Snyder, Jr., aged %.
United States army aviator, plunged
700 feet to earth in an aeroplane
that had become unmanageable within
sight of the home of his uncle, Eu-
gene B. Snyder, president of the
Richmond Dry Goods company, at
West Hampton this afternoon at 2:3O
o'clock and was probably instantly
killed.
In its descent the plane, which, ac-
cording to eye witnesses, was acting
erratically, dove into two cedar sap
lings, one of which it snapped off. The
other it uprooted.
Immediately after striking the sec
end tree, the careening plane was seen
to emit thin spiral of black or blue
smoke and few seconds later struck
the ground with thud that was heard
at the country club and the Rich
mond university grounds at West
Hampton, both some distance away.
Divining from the unusual antics
of the plane that something was amiss
and fearful that the aviator would b..
unable to right the machine before it
reached the ground, scores who had
been witnessing the stunts of young
Sydnor in midair hastened to a field
in which it was apparent the machine
would land. Before the first of these
spectators could reach the scene, the
plane had struck the ground and al
most Immediately burst of flame was
seen. By the time aid had arrived,
the machine was mass of flames
and the body of the youthful f1ier,
who was motionless, rapidly was be-
ing consumed in the fires that partly
consumed both plane and the body of
the officer.
The body, burned beyond recogni-
tion, was lifted from the tangled mass
of twisted steel and other wreckage
left by the destruction of the plane.
Then began a feversh search for
some trinket or other means by which
the body might be identified. First
the searchers uncovered from the
ashes and bits of charred wood a
metal watch, which, however, did s,yt
aid in the Identification. Next y
pocket knife was brought to light.
Neither did this throw any light on
the identity of the victim.
Then a gold signet ring was,
brought to light by searchers, who
persisted after others had abandoned
the quest. After the ashes and CRIME
were wiped off the initials of mono
gram "W. A. S." were deciphered. 1t
was identified by the uncle of young
Sydnor.
