? Montana had a shade the better of it
) tuberculosis in livestock has grown
to such an extent that packers refuse
to purchase hog shipments from Ger.
tain districts in Iowa, excepting sub.
ject to post norton inspection. The
total condemnations of many hog
shipments from these districts
amount to 40 per CEN and over. The
loss which the packers have sustained
on account of being con-
demned was the incentive for them
to establish an order whereby they
pay 10 per cent over the market for
hogs from an rea which has been de-
clared free from tuberculosis by
means of the tuberculin test having
been applied to all cattle in that dis
trict. Hogs get their tuberculosis
infection manly from cattle. There
is no porcine tubercle bacilli. The
%tubercle bacilli which attacks hogs in
approximately 80 cases out of 100 is
the bovine organism. In the other
10 cases it is either the human or
ganism or the avian (chicken) tu-
bercle bacilli.
In the Big Hole country some of
wi AHhSAOAO WOlC uC6ll6CuL anu ulu
not comply with the regulations of
the Montana livestock sanitary board
in hat they purchased outside cattle
without having these cattle inspected
or subjected to a tuberculin test.
Quite a number of these cattle were
shipped to Portland, and upon their
slaughter at that point several were
found to be suffering from tubercu-
losis. This department was notified,
and Immediately started an ~investiga-
ton, as we had previously tested
many of u native Big Hole cattle
without finding tuberculosis. Our in
vestigation revealed the fact that
every one of the animals found tu-
berculous had been shipped in from
an adjoining state. However, in order
that buyers coming to Montana to
purchase cattle, and in order that the
packers throughout the United States
might realize that Montana used
every effort to supply them with clean
healthy cattle we i~naugurated a cam
paign to test every animal in the
Big Hole country previous to the ar
rival of the spring buyers. Up to the
present date we have tested approxi-

only one native animal suffering from
tuberculosis. This native animal had
only been IN this particular ranch
days, and had been purchased
rom a trader at a point outside of
Big Hole country.
Montana cattle are gaining a world
vide reputation for their quality and
I heard n of the nations
eading authorities say this winter:
The superior quality and health of
dontana cattle is a well recognized
act"
If every stockman would observe
he regulations of the Montana Live
took Sanitary Board, we could keen
many diseases from being imported
nto the state, and could control and
radicate whatever diseased condi-
ions might unfortunately make their :
ppearance. |.
In this regard it is good business
or every COW man to buy native bulls
if pure bred cattle are purchased
n the outside they should be pur-
based from an accredited herd or
ubject to a 5000 day retest.

TREASURE STATE FARM AND LIVESTOCK
STATE LIVESTOCK SHOWS Am
INCREASE OF 900

The annual live stock report OF the
Montana cooperative crop and live.
stock reporting service just issued by
George A. Scott, agricultural statls-
tician, shows increases during the
past year in the number of mules,
milk COWS, sheep, and swine on Mon
tana's farms and ranges, decreases In
the number of horses and other cat
tie, while the total value of all these
classes of live stock on January 1,
1928, is estimated at $95,024,0OO
This is $10,319, 600 over their values
of a year ago.
The total value of the years pro-
duction of live stock and live stock
products, including honey, is estim-
ated at $53,837,000. This amount,
combined with the total value of all
crops produced in 1922, gives a grand
total of $141,536,00O, which repres-
ents the farm value of all the prod
ucts of the states farms for the past
year.
The live stock industry of the state
in 1922 was featured by the rapid
rises in sheep and wool values, heavy
liquidation of cattle, and a steady in
crease in the number of dairy cows,
swine and poultry, while horses, not
regaining values lost 500 after the
war, fell off in numbers.
More general acceptance by farm
ers of the needs and benefits of div
justification in our farming systems
has been noticed; and a rapidly grow
ing sentiment in favor of better live
stock, mainly through the use of pure
bred sires, is In evidence.
Range and pasture conditions in
1922 were more satisfactory than for
several years, and stock went into
winter in splendid condition, and in
most sections are provided with suffi-
cient feed to insure them being well
wintered. The lamb and calf crops
in the spring of 1922 were rather
light, while losses for the year were
not considered heavy except in some
sections where heavy losses, especial
ly of sheep and lambs, took place.
Taken as a whole, the years de-
velopments in our live stock industry
has served to clear up the chaotic
conditions which resulted from the
deflation of values following the war,
and while readjustment has been Sc
to many stockmen, especially to
cattle growers, most signs now point
a steady growth of our live stock
industry upon a sounder basis than
ever before.

mates of the numbers, average value

cent. The straw of Kota Is weak and
tends to lodge on rich land. Lighter
seeding is suggested to offset this
weakness in part.
High Gluten Content
Kota averages a higher test weight
per bushel and, consequently, a high
er yield of flour than Marquis, ac-
cording to the milling and baking
tests made with a portion OF the 1922
crop. In five cases out of six, Kota
wheat excelled Marquis in gluten con-
tent. The Kota has also given a lar
ger loaf volume than Marquis on the
average. 1t has usually been found
to give a loaf Of as good texture as
Marquis when the proper amount of
water has been added to the dough.
The color shade of Kota wheat flour
is creamy or yellowish, as compared
to the creamy white or gray shades
usually shown by Marquis. This diff
ference in color shade may become a
serious defect in Kota wheat. The
present attitude of the mills is that
they have not had opportunity to
handle Kota wheat in commercial
quantities, and are probably not in a
position to make positive statements
at the present time.
A large quantity of Kota wheat has
been distributed through the county
agents to individual farmers in 10
bushel lots. Farmers have been given
their choice of paying a premium of
$1.25 over the market price for No.
l hard spring wheat at Minneapolis
on the date Of purchase and giving
an option to the experiment station
to repurchase three-fourths of the in
crease on the same basis next year
the farmers have been allowed to
make an outright purchase at 1918

DRY LAND FARMS
R SUCCEEDING
DETAILS OF WILSON SURVEY TO
BE GIVEN TO MEMBERS OF
THE LEGISLATURE
Lawmakers Will be Told of the Sue
cess of Dry Landers in the North
Country; to Dispel Some Miscon-
ceptions.

Mcntana's lawmakers are asked tC
devote an hours attention to the pos
sibilities and requirements of profit
able farming on the states great
areas of non-irrigated land by Joe
Townsend, now director of publicity
for the Montana Development asso-
citation, who suggests that VI. l.. Will
son of the State College Extension
service, be invited to address a joint
session of the legislature On the farm
success survey which he directed in
north central Montana last summer.
In a letter to the legislators, Mr..
Townsend, who as a member of the
extension staff assisted Mr.. Wilson
with the study, points out that the
survey has definitely established the
fact that farming can be successfully
followed even in the states areas of
least precipitation and that a proper
understanding of the findings of the
survey will forever dispel the mis-
conception that these areas should
be RELOCATED to the coyotes and the
grasshoppers.
Findings Important
He says, 1.-THE findings of this
study undoubtedly compose one of
the greatest contributions eve made
to u knowledge of Montana agricuI-
ture.
MIR. Wilson discovered in a repre-
sentative township in north central
Montana, the previous occupations of
the SO original settlers had been
something like this: 23 farmers, two
circus musicians, two carpenters, two
butchers, three COW hands, one sea-
going engineer, two deep sea divers,
three bIacksmiths, three bartenders.
three cid maids, one roamer, milli-
ners, Observation-Disclosures, etc.
"Of the % farmers only IS ever
moved on the land and of the 10 the
large proportion of IA have been sue
cessful and are still living on the
land"
One of Montana's greatest prob
lens is proper resettlement and in
view of the huge railroad publicity
campaign which will feature the state
this year. he says, and in fact of the
previous disastrous experiences in
land settlement cit is clear duty of
the state to provide prospective set
tiers from the inquirers of this adj
vertising with the accurate informa-
ton they should have before they es-
tablish their homes here. 1t is also
necessary that our own people in au-
thority become acquainted with the
possibilities of agriculture in the
state and the requisites of successful
farming in u great non-irrigated
sections.
Conclusions Clear r
"While Mr.. Wilson's study was sci i.
and comprehensive, involving
digesting of a mass of data and 9
details, his conclusions a
are clear, reliable and to the point. s
He does not deal in ge~neralities, but
quotes figures, names and places. 1t :
IS not too much to say that the in 1
which he now possesses, if 0
placed in the hands of settlers on the il
non-irrigated lands a few
years ago would have saved for them d
and the state perhaps millions of t.
.1ollars." a

County Agent Noble, speaking O
Kota wheat, which has been discussed
in farm bureau circles this year, says
Roosevelt county has one demon
stration of Kota wheat, which was
introduced into the county last year
William Mcbride of Culbertson is the
demonstration, and he reports very
good results, although the wheat was
handled under ideal conditions and
in small quantity"
Following is a report from the
North Dakota experiment station re-
garding it's merits:
"Kota wheat has proven its ability
as a rust resistant variety, is a high
yielding crop and has given favorable
milling tests on the samples milled
thus far with the exception of the
color, which is more of a creamy yell
lowish tint than is ordinarily consid-
cred desirable" The statement is a

and results secured by l.. r. Waldron,

agronomist, and G. e. Mangles, cereal
