LABOR SURPLUS
But TEMPORARY

While there is surplus of common
labor in Montana at the present time,
this surplus is merely seasonal and
will quickly be absorbed in railroad
construction and maintenance, and
in road and irrigation project work,
according to reports received by the
division of labor of the state depart
ment of agriculture from employ
ment agencies all over the state.
Farm hands can be placed Immediate
ly in a number of counties and when
spring opens up many other counties
will need farm hands that are not
available locally. Only a few coun-
ties have sufficient local hands to
supply their needs.
An employment agent at Great
Falls reports he can place Immediate
ly 20 farm hands; one at Billings, 10
farm hands; one at Helena, five farm
hands; one at Livingston, few; the
county agent of Richland county says
that % farm hands can be placed at
once, the county agent of Valley
county that jobs are open for six farm
hands, and of Fallon county that jobs
are there for two farm hands When
the season opens Fergus and Rich
land counties estimate they will need
not less than 200 additional farm
hands. Wages for farm hands run
from $50 to $50 month and board, |
and will probably average $45 per
month. Sheep herders are needed in
Cascade, Lewis and Clark, and Valley |
counties. Wages are reported from |
$50 to SIS month. A number of
districts will shortly need men for
lambing.
Butte needs skilled quartz miners,
the demand, according to reports, be-
ing from 200 men up to all that come
to Butte. This applies to skilled men
only. Wages are $5.25 an eight-hour
shift.
Missoula can place so men at once
in the logging camps as swampers,
sawyers and teamsters. Wages are
$50 to $40 month and board.

GOOD WALKSLEADING TO
FARM HOUSE SAVE LABOR

With all kinds of improved ma
chinery for cultivating and harvest
ing crops, and the automobile for
rapid and easy travel, life for the
farmer has been made much easier,
but how about the farmers wife?
How much time do your women folks
spend sweeping the back yard out
of the house? How often do they
meet you at the door with the COM
mand, "Take off those muddy shoes
before you come into this housed"
You have thought many times when
met with this stern command, that
something really ought to be done,
so that the drudgery of keeping the
house clean would be lightened.
Good walks built from the house to
the different outbuildings is the cas-
lest way to accomplish this.
They are not expensive as it does
not require much labor to build
them and the materials are not costly.
Every farmer who builds walks
helps to improve his community as
we'll as his own home.

Each COW averaged 10 pounds OF
grain per day. While on a ration OF
grain and clover hay, the average
daily consumption of hay was 81
pounds per head. When fed ensilage
the COWS averaged II pounds of clio
yer and 1915 pounds of sunflower
These figures show that 1876 pounds
of sunflower ensilage replaced nine
pounds of clover hay which amounts
to saying that 81 pounds of sunflow-
er ensilage is equal to one pound of
hay.
Compared With Hay and Grain
1t was found that the cows receiv-
ing grain and hay put on slightly
more weight than those fed on grain,
hay and ensilage, the former making
an average gain per head of IL
pounds in 28 days and the latter max
ing 81 pounds during the same time.
However, the daily average produc-
ton for the COWS when receiving the
sunflower ensilage was 34.35 pounds
of milk containing 1.5 pounds of but
when not receiving the ensilage was
O0.0I DOunuS Oh mllh WUlCH COuLd106Q
1888 pounds Of fat. In view of the
fact that the cows receiving only
grain and clover hay, gained slightly
more in body weight and produced
less milk and butter fat, it may be
safely concluded that under the con-
ditions of this experiment the sun
flower ensilage had a beneficial and
stimulating effect upon milk and fat
production.
No Room for Doubt
Prior to this experiment, the cows
had all been under the same condi-
lions and had been fed the same
kinds of feed so there could be no
question as to the residual effect of
previous feed or care influencing the
results of this experiment. No differ
ence in thrift, appetite or general
condition of the COWS could be noted
as result of the use of the sunflower
ensilage.
The milk from both lots was kept
separate throughout the experiment
and carefully tested for any unde-
5irable changes in flavor or odor but
none could be detected by expert
dairymen or the most particular of
the patrons using the milk.

PHILLIPS COUNTY
NOTED FOR SEED
TURNS FROM IMPORTER TO Elk.
PORTER: FARMERS REALIZE
VALUE OF PRODUCT
Much Corn Grown in Northern Lati-
tudes Being Shipped Out for Seed;
Last Years Corn Acreage in Phil
lips County $4,000.

That Phillips county farmers have
turned from importers to exporters of
seed corn and that for two years it
has not been necessary to import a
single bushel of seed corn with which
to meet local demands was featured
as one of the big outstanding results
of the crop improvement work being
conducted by Phillips county farm
bureau in cooperation with the ex-
tension service of the state college,
according to the report of Secretary
Norman w. Hicks read at the annual
meeting of the organization. AL
though a substantial increase in last
years corn acreage of Is, 900 is look
ed for, Phillips county has more than
enough seed to meet the demands
this year, says the report, and as a
result large quantities of seed are
being shipped to other points of the
state.
During the past year 81 Phillips
county farmers co-operated in the
crop improvement project which has
for it's aim the selection of varieties
of farm crops adapted to local con-
ditions, the production of home
grown commercial and pure seed of
such varieties and the promotion of
a dependable dry land feed crop. Dur
ing the year 1920, IA communities
adopted this project as part of their
programs of work and elected leaders
to handle same. Experiment station
records on variety tests were con-
sidered and the following varieties
were selected as standard for the
county based on the evidence sub
mitted: Marquis and Peliss Durum
wheat, Victory oats, Hannchen bar
ley, North Dakota $50 rye, GLIB flax,
Northwestern Dent and Dakota White
Flint corn, Grimm alfalfa, Irish Cob
bier and Melted Gem potatoes.
Those interested voted to initiate
the work through the establishing of
demonstration plots for the purpose
of producing absolutely pure seed of
these varieties. The selection of
demonstrators to grow the approved
seed is left largely in the hands of
local committeeman while the selec-
ton of the pure seed growers in fin
ally made by the executive board |
upOn Tic VI
the local leaders. The local leaders |
report to the county agents office on
every demonstration and pure seed
field in their community three times
during the growing season on report
forms furnished for this purpose, in
formation obtained in these reports
being such as will show the manner
in which the demonstration is caring
for his field, the adaptability of the
crop to the territory and the amount
If seed available for distribution.
The year 1922 was the third year
If work on the crop improvement pro-
ect and the fact that the number of
armers raising one or more standard
of farm crops increased !!
rom 78 in 1919 to 1,045 in 1922,
While the acreage increased from
,410 in 1919 to 1896 in 1922, is !
good indication of its popularity
With the farmer.

CAMPBELL PLANS
ON LARGE CROP

Superintendent Thomas P. Hart of
tne Campbell Farming corporation
has received instructions from Thos.
u. Campbell, president of the cor
poration, who is spending the winter
with his family at Pasadena, Califor-
mia, to seed to spring wheat every
possible acre on the Fort Smith bench
which embraces 5000 acres of the
best wheat land in the Big Horn val
ley.
Mr.. Campbell left recently for Chi
cago, where with President Bret
schneider of the Western States Oil
and Land company, operators in the
Soap Creek oil field; Vice President
Sinsheimer of the Holly Sugar cor
poration, and Ralph DEMO of Sheri-
dan, Wyo., general manager of the
j. w. DEMO Milling company, own
ers of several grain elevators in Big
Horn county, he attended meeting
of the Burlington railroad officials
for the purpose of considering the
building of branch line from Har-
din south along the Big Horn valley
to a point about six miles above st.
Xavier, at the old lower Fort Smith
camp. The proposed road will pass
the mouth of Soap creek, within four
miles of the oil field, to which the
oil can be piped by gravity and trans
ported to market in tank cars.
The fact that Mr.. Campbell has
ordered the utmost acreage seeded
means that he is confident the road
will be built Immediately so as to
take care of next falls crop. The
corporation last fall seeded about
IL, 900 acres to winter wheat in this
valley and on the benches and plans
to seed 5000 to 10000 acres to
spring wheat this spring, the seeding
of which will begin as soon as the
weather will permit.

SNAKE DANCE Of

Famous Ritual After To-

Nv CosmouOlitan News Service,


PHOENIX, Ariz., Aug. 24.-HoDi
Indians Of Arizona, will gather to-
night to celebrate their world ia
nous annual snake dance at the
picturesque mesa village of Walpi.
A gallant remnant of a once
powerful tribe-for the Hopi ma
ton numbers only 1000 men, wo-
men and children-will render fa-
natical homage to the Great Mani.
tou, the deity who presides over
the happy hunting grounds of the
red mems heaven.
Tonight's dramatic tribal pageant
will be witnessed by record break
ing attendance of pale faces, at
tracted by the fame of the festival
and also because this years ritual
may be the last the Indians will
be permitted to observe.
The Federal Indian Bureau has
intimated that il the Hopis do
not discontinue the dance of their
own will, the Government will take
steps to do so on the grounds that
no good can come OF the spectacle
of serni.nude redskins carrying
squirming. wriggling reptiles of the
most poisonous character, dangling
from their mouths.
The dance is q prayer for rain,
which the Hopi believes is stored
in vast heavenly reservoirs as well
as beneath the surface of the earth.
Hundreds Of rattlers and other
poisonous snakes are used in the
ritual, but no Hopi. ever dies of
snake bites, though, many are fire.

GREAT BRITA AIN
MARKS TIME
ON REPLY
Answer to France on Repara-
lions Expected to Be
Delayed.
By DAVID Nj. CHURCH,


LONDON, Aug. 24-Great Britain
has decided to mark time on the
reparations issue and indications
this afternoon were that it may be
fortnight before there is another
decisive move.
Premier Stanley Baldwin arranged
to leave late in the afternoon for
France, stopping off in Paris to
see Lord Curzon, the British for
eign secretary, and possibly Premier
Poincare. The foreign office ts ex.
pected to take no steps until the
Premier returns.
Belgium is supporting the French
note which leaves the powers lined
up just as they were before. Italy
is sympathetic towards the British
viewpoint.
Meanwhile the pull and haul
battle" is being fought out in the
newspaper. Lord Rothermere news
papers are crying restore the en-
| tente."
The Daily Express, on the other
hand, said:
Premier Baldwin survived the
surrender to the United States on
| the debt issue, but he cannot sur
vive surrender to France"
The next move is up to Great
Britain in returning an answer to
the latest French reparations note.
