WOOL PRODUCERS URGED
TO ADOPT COOPERATIVE
METHODS OF MARKETING

Helena, April 4.-"The immediate
future holds the promise of profits
for the wool growers of the Far West,
providing that they take every ad-
vantage Of their situation which gives
them control over market prices by
cooperative marketing, instead of re-
leasing their wool to eastern COM
mission buyers on bids below the
value of wool based on the irremov-
able law of supply and demand," de-
clared U. S. Senator R. N. Stanfield
OF Oregon, on his return a few days
ago to Washington from his home
State. But this better prospect fol-
lows a period in which everyone en-
gagged in the industry of providing the
mutton and wool supply of the United
States has battled against conditions
which might have defeated less u
ageous men," said the Senator, him
self a f~lockmaster prominent in the
industry in Oregon.
Utter bankruptcy threatened them"
SAID Senator Stanfield. "Indeed,
many were compelled to succumb,
thus seeing the results of a lifetime
wiped out completely. The conditions
We're uniform in all sections of the
West. 1t was not bad management,
not speculation, not greed. 1t was the
inherent necessity of the industry that
forced them into the situation whence
they now hope to emerge. if given two
years IN which to realize the improved
market for their products"
In a bulletin of late date by the T..
s. Department of Agriculture. it is
revealed that, "A great many of the
wool importing countries of the world
are now practically on a pre-war
consuming basis, and raw stocks are
being converted into finished stocks
at a normal rate. Since 1920 there
has been a depreciable decrease in
stocks. The total wool production of
the world during pre-war years was
no more than needed to meet the
worlds requirements; with increased
requirements, however, there was no
noticeable attempt to increase pro-
duction in the same proportion. The
present sheep population of the world
is only about 90 per cent of the 1918
population. The world pre-war pro-
duction, based on yearly figures for
the five-year period, 19O9-13, inclus-
i've was 3,l52,000,0O pounds. From
all reports, it is probable the pro-
duction during the present season
will be less than 5000, 900, 900 pounds.
The supply of wool in the principal
consuming countries is less than re-
corded for som time. Stocks of wool
in the United States are lighter than
in a decade; the manufacturers are

GOPHER FIGHTERS.
CALLED TO ARMS.
State and Federal Government Are
Furnishing Free Poison For Gov
eminent Lands.

The few var days we have had
this spring has put the pep" into
some of the gophers and they have
began to appear in order to be ready
for the first grain that is put in the
field. The gophers have been in win
ter quarters a long time and will at
tack the first seed with an appetite
that gets results and that means re-
duced stands. The gophers and prairie
dogs in the county have been given a
hard run the past four a and S
a result of this strenuous campaign
the gophers and prairie dogs have
been about destroyed but in certain
sections where there is a large acre
age of state and government lands
these rodent pests have been able to
hold their W and furnish fresh re-
cruits for the cleaned up areas.
The excellent results accomplished
in Valley county have been due to the
continued community action with prac-
tically every land owner and tenant
putting out poisoned oats.
The state and federal government
are cooperating with the county on
these vacant areas this year by fur
nlshlng free poison for state land to
the amount of $4,000 pounds and free
government poison to the amount of
5000 pounds. Farmers who live adj
joining federal or Indian lands should
get this free poison from the nearest
county distributor. The county poison
as we'll as the free state and govern
ment poison has been delivered to all
OF the distributors and the gopher
ammunition is ready for the spring
drive. The free poison is for farmers
adjoining state or government or In
dian land who have purchased poison
for their W land or for farmers
leasing the state or Indian lands.
The communities that have large
areas of state and government and
Indian lands are requested to set two
or three days as gopher days at
which time a government man may be
called in to assist them in a sys-
tematic determination of the gophers
in their community. The government
has stationed Orland Smith, Assist
ant Field Biologist, for Valley county
and his duties are to organize COM
munities for gopher day drives. His
first work will be on Indian and gov
eminent land in the Lustre commun-
ity. If a community wishes to get in
touch with Mr.. Smith, write him in
care Of the Farm Bureau office.
1t is hoped that the communities
will all put on the gopher drives and
those communities on the reservation
will call for Mr.. Smiths assistance
The gopher project is one that re-
quires constant attention and COM
munity cooperation to get results.
The county poison bait is 25 percent
cheaper this year. The resident farm
err should not hesitate to report the
nonresident land owner and cause
him to conform with the State Gopher
Law.

County Agents Aid Poultrymen

County agents of the state in 1921
conducted seventy-five poultry GULL
ing demonstrations. The attendance
at these demonstrations reached 1923.
1t is showed that $50 flocks were GULL
ed from which $3.50 birds were elm
mated. In addition to this, county
agents obtained improvement of
poultry practices on seventy-nine
farms.
The Improvement of poultry on the
Montana farm is one of the import
ant projects for county agents.

In Investigations carried on at the
Montana Experiment Station at Boze-
nan it was found that the highest
average yield of grain hay from any
crop mixture was obtained from a
combination of oats and barley. In
general the %three-crop mixtures aver
aged slightly higher than either two
or four-crop mixtures. Experiments
with root crops proved mangels to be
the highest yielding. Eighteen varie-
ties of mangels tested during a six
year period averaged 1851 tons Of
roots to the acre. Bulletin No. 143,
recently issued by the Montana Ex-
pertinent Station, is entitled Grain
Mixtures and Root Crops Under r.

man on the freight train. who Is
held In jail at that place, suspected
OF being connected with the express
robbery at Alamosa. February 10.

diamond ring which the police say
was a part OF the express car booty
Raish Is said to have handed the

poised behind the counter OF .

OF finding mail pouch while out
hunting near Alamosa. the police
state.
Rash asserted that his reason for
not telling of finding the pouch was
because his own description fitted
that given by railroad officials OF
one OF the robbers.
So conflicting were his stories
that he was held for further inves-
tigation, and Saturday the detectives
went to Alamosa and there searched
Raish's home. Three guns. one SIM
liar to the type of weapon used to
kill Gomez. were found in addition
to 5000 liberty bond and 5000 in
cash.

Saturday that he is certain Raish Is
the man who fired the shot which
killed Gomez. altho Raish staunchly
denies any connection with the case.
Brady said that Raish. working
on the train ss brakeman, was
familiar with the express shipment
and that he no doubt pulled the air
brake which stopped the train Just
outside the city.
Gomez was shot and killed when
he resisted the two bandits. trying
10 bar their entrance to the express
car by slamming the door shut.
Rash is 3S years old. married and
has two children. He has been con-
nected with the Rio Grande rail-
road for two years and previously
