Ifal1a, as IL WOulO MAKE more grown
to the given amount of moisture
than any other plant. If cut early
and cut high, he said it was equa
to alfalfa for hay. Sunfiowers anc
Russian thistles were called good feec
if cut at the right time and put il
the silo. Anybody can have a silo
he said, without cost except work
and to prove it described a successful.
trench silo he had seen. To aid in
caring for livestock he advocated in
expensive straw covered sheds.
The Wool Situation
Matt Staff, president, National
Wool Warehouse and Storage Com
pany, gave a very interesting dis
cussion of the condition and prospects
of the wool market and described
what his company had done to pro-
tect the market against speculative
buyers. He said he considered the
prospects for the wool business for
at least the next three years very
bright and that prices will scarcely
fail to hold firm and go higher. Mr..
Staff showed that he was thoroughly
informed in his field and spoke with
the confidence of a trained business
man.
M. L. Wilson, of the State College
spoke on dry farming development
in northern Montana and spoke in a
way that showed he was thoroughly
experienced in the practical side of
the subject. Rainfall and climatic
conditions were the things to which
all plans must be adjusted. He IL
lustrated this point by a rain chart
covering the records for this region
for a long period of years, the chart
showing separately the precipitation
for the growing months and for the
remaining portion of each year. In
the course of his intensity interesting
agreed thoroughly with Mr.. Haney
on the Importance of diversifying.
But in the matter of summer fallow-
ing land, there appeared to be some
degree of conflict in the beliefs of
the two experts. Mr.. Wilson describ-
ed quite fully the method by which
such men as Alvin Hull and Jim
Prentice had succeeded by summer
methods while those around
them failed utterly.
State Treasurer j.. w. Walker dis
cussed matters pertaining to his office
in it's relation to the banks of the
state, and touched upon some of the
problems he had been forced to
and certain needed legislation.
After listening to the report of the
committees and adopting
them, the business session adjourned.
the adoption of the report of the
committee on officers, C. G. Lever
enz of Culbertson was made president
of the group and G. r. Hoppin OF
Glasgow vi~ce-president.
The Banquet
The social side of the meeting
found expression in the banquet that
was served at $50. 1t proved a
pleasant conclusion for. the success
full day. The menu had been skill
fully prepared and was thoroughly
enjoyed. Following the repast there
a program of toasts that kept
entirely away from shop talk. The
responses were mostly in a humorous
vein and some improved the oppor-
5unity for jokes and jibes on their
friends.
H. A. Schoening was POSTMASTER
IF the occasion and succeeded as
Usual in carrying off the part well.
