distinct and definite purpose. 1t is
that it may cure naturally on the stem

provided a grass balanced ration for
range livestock. But the short grass

some attention must be paid to feed

Dairying Offers Greatest
Agricultural Opportunity Here

the profitable production of milk, but
ter and cheese"
While conditions in many parts of
Monana are favorable to dairying and
poultry raising, probably nowhere
else are they so ideal as in the Belt
valley. Situated at the very door of
Great Falls, which in the opinion of
industrial men the country yer is
certain TO become a grtat center, and
also at the door of the Neihart min
ing district. which also seems certain
of big development in the near future,
a ready market for all kinds Of dairy
product is assured. Even with present
development, the surrounding districts
do not supply Great Falls with dairy
products and it is Necessary TO ship in
great quantities from neinghboring
and eastern states.
With the market provided, and ma
tional conditions ideal. it would seem
that there is a great opportunity for a
properly organized cooperative
dairy community in the Belt Valley.
Many farmers have expressed a desire
to engage in the business, and the one
great obstacle seems to be a method
of financing the purchase of milk
stock. The War Finance corporation
would offer a means to some. For
others a different method would have
to be providen. In the Flathean val
ley country business and financial as
sociations are organizing to assist
farmers in purchasing good milk
stock. Could it be possible that such
organization could be perfected

the Jefferson national forest. He
continued in hat capacity until after
the entry of America in the war,
when, at the request of the governor,
he accepted the appointment as fed

been been making a study of agrieul-
turaI Industrial needs of the state 70
determine in which particular line
new settlers stand the best chance of
immediate and futrue success, has de-
cided that dafrying and poultry rails
ing offers the greatest returns. With
increased business activity IN the state
and an influx of new citizens due to
the resumption of mining and other
activities, he finds there will be a con-
stantiy growing local market for
dairy products and anticipates n
steady development of dairying on
lands which have already proved their
a~daptability in this line. In a recent
discussion of the outlook for dairying
in Montana. Mr.. Blanchard said:
''The resumption of mining in Mon
tana, and the consequent opening of
reduction and manufacturing plants,
all of which has been more or less
quieseent since April last, predicate
an area of prosperity in all industrial
fields of the in~termountain district.
The effect on the agricultural inter

ing and cmelting centers will be inn
mediate and important.
"These c~enters, employing many
thousands of men, whose average
daily wage is probably as high as that
of any other section of the country,
will promote-a-certain and excellent
market for farm products of all
kinds.
"Montana's farms in normal periods
do not produce enough TO meet the
demands for food products within her
own borders. The state has always
imported largely of dairy products,
fruits, vegetables, eggs and poultry,
most of which could have been sup
piled at home if her farmers had seen
fit to engage in intensive rather than !
extensive agriculture The great need
today is an increase in the number of
dairy cows and the butter and cheese
supply. The deflation which hit the
cattle and sheep men was less severely
felt by the dairymen. Cost of pro-
duction of milk and butter has drop
ped below previous levels, due to the
reduced prices of hay and grain, but
the market prices for milk, butter and
cheese maintained fairly high levels.
Dairy farmers are as a rule in for
easier financial circumstances than
those engaged in other lines. Recog-
milton of this fact stimulated a great
interest in dairying in many parts of
the state.
Dairy experts are agreed that
Montana offers unusually attractive
opportunities for this industry. The
climate of many of the mountain shell
tered valleys, the numerous varieties
succulent grasses, large areas of ir-
alfalfa and cereals, the abund-
ance of cold, pure water and the COM
paratively low prices of land. favor
the breeding of high class stock and

Will Have No Exhibit
This Year at State Fair

Answering Commissioner Of Agr1-
culture Chester c. Davis, in charge
of the state fair, SIS to who would be
named member of the advisory oar
for Cascade county, the board of coun-
ty commissioners this morning auth
orized Clerk and Recorder John r.
Moran TO reply to the effect that the
board was averse to making any ap-
preparation for a Cascade county ex-
hibit at the state fair. Mr.. Davis
was also advised that E. II. Cooney
was advisory member for the county,
his appointment holding two years
yet The commissioners further
stated that they yer willing at any
time to give all the backing they
were allowed to a county fair, should
the people of Cascade county mani
fest a desire for one.
The reason given by the board for
.objecting to appropriation TO a fair
exhibit at the state fair in Helena is
largely because of the several years
drouth which the farmers have suffer
ed in some parts of the county, and a
belief that few of the farmers Of the
county desired to have such appro-
p%riations made.
The board has appropriated $1,000
a year up to last year, when Sl,aOO
was appropriated, and contributed
the services of County Agent Nc
Spadden to the work of collecting and
showing the county exhibit each year.
The only man paid out of the appro-
priation has been the man in charge
of the exhibit, C. M. Storm, for the
last two years, and Mr.. Storm devot-
ed his entire time to the work. The
appropriation itself has not been suf-
ficient to make the exhibit, and the
prize money has been added to
the regular appropriation. In 1920
this amounted to some $3.50, and Mr..
Storm had to wait nearly a year to get
the money, or until the legislature had
made an appropriation. In 1921 the
check from the state fair amounted
10 1925, being made out to the count
ty and endorsed over to Mr.. Storm
by the county treasurer and the coun-
ty advisory board member; it was

bank yet. The expense of the ex-
libit last year was 81 $50, or s25 more
han the available funds.

Close behind the miner and the
adventursr, on the pioneer trail to
Montana, came the bowman. Over
the broad plains and through lar
row mountain passes he trailed
his herd, Drawing the elements and
fighting danger 1t every step.
A early ~ 1854, there were
cattle In what In now called Mon
tana. These were dairy stock and
work oxen, used for freighting
supplies TO the widely scattered
frontier posts and later TO the min
ing camps.
The pioneers Of the industry,
started on q limited scale In 1852,
were Kohrs and Beilenberg, who
trailed q herd into the Deer Lodge
valley in 1854. In 1859, John r.
Bishop Of Dillon brought from
Oregon the first band Of range
sheep. The wonderful feeding
qualities of the native grasses
were soon recognised and . great
importation Of cattle followed.
In 1871, Robert Ford and Thorn
rs Dunn drove a herd to northern
Montana and ranged them on Sun
river. Afterwards cattle were In
troduced to the Powder River, Ju-
dith, Milk River, Musselshell,
Blackfoot and Grow sections.
The first herd Of bsef cattle to
leave Montana was that owned by
Patrick Largey, long q Butte resi-
dent. They were driven in 1858
from the southwestern part of the
territory to Salt Lake. The first
beef shipment to Chicago was
made In 1874, when +Kokrs and
Beilenberg trailed a herd from
Sun river TO the railroad at Ogden.
After 1875, herds . often
trailed to Cheyenne, for shipment
ever the Union Pacific to Chicago
and Omaha. A real livestock .rade
was established In 1883, with the
completion of the Northern Pa
cific railroad across Montana
