LABOR SURPLUS
But TEMPORARY

While there is a surplus of common
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, a few; the
county agent of Rich1and county says
that 25 farm hands can be placed at
once, the county agent of Valley
county that jobs r 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
$50 to $50 a month and boardS
and will probably average $45 per
Sheep herders are needed in

MUCH MONTANA LAND is OPEN
TO SETTLEMENT, SAYS DAVIS

Of Montana's total area Of 94,078,-
$50 acres there remain in the hands
of the federal government and open
to homestead 5,659,879 acres, accord
ing to data compiled by the bureau OF
publicity of the state agricultural de.
partment, which will soon be issued
in book form.
Much Of this acreage is, however
in the "bad lands" of eastern Mon
tana or on mountain peaks where II
is inaccessible or unfertile.
OF Montana's 94,078,O8O acres a
little over half a million are water
surface. Uncle Sam retains, in ma
tional forest areas, national parks,
Indian reservations, bird preserves,
reservoir sites and oil land with
drawals, a total of approximately 28,-
000, 900 acres.
The largest area of land open to
homesteading is in Phillips county,
with 662,5O4 acres. Beaverhead
county is second with 625,212 acres.
Third is Garfield county with $780,
833 and fourth is valley county with
568.275. Carter county ranks fifth
with 547,406 and Fergus sixth, with
l326,705.

There are great possibilities in the
giant Russian sunflower as a crop Tor
the silo in those sections Of Montana
where the altitude is too high, the
growing season too short or the rain
fall insufficient to permit the raising
of satisfactory crops of corn.
At the state experiment station at
Bozeman, SO tons of sunflowers
were harvested from a single acre
and feeding tests indicated that IL
might prove highly valuable for dairy
cattle, when fed either fresh from the
field or from the silo.
Thirty Tons Per Acre -
One experiment plot yielded at the
rate of 80 tons to the acre during the
season without irrigation. Consider
ing the dry season this is a remark
able yield and when it is considered
that corn in Montana seldom pro-
duces more than six tons of fodder
per acre the great advantage of sun
flowers over corn is at once apparent.
Sunflowers were fed as a soiling
crop for IL days to several head of
dairy COWS in comparison with an
equal number of cows fed upon green
corn. At the end of the test the milk
records, fat tests, and live weights
of the COWS indicated that the sun
flowers were equal pound for pound
to the green corn. The COWS con-
sumed as high as 80 pounds per
day of finely cut sunflowers, eating
it with great relish. No detrimental
effects could be detected on the ami
mails or in the milk.
Feeding as Ensilage
Fourteen COWS were fed for
twenty-eight days on grain, clover
hay and sunflower silage while an
equal number were being fed on grain
and clover hay. At the end of the
time, after a weeks transitional Pc
riod, the ration of the two lots was
reversed for another t~wenty-eight
day period.
Since t he lots were practically
equal in weight, age, ETC., the same
amount of grain was fed to each lot.
keeping the grain equal the val
ue of the ensilage was measured di-
in the saving in clover hay,
and any difference in the weight of
the animals or in the amount of milk
produced at the end of the expert

PLANS
ON LARGE CROP

superintendent Thomas P. Hart of
the Campbell Farming corporation
has received Instructions from Thos.
D. 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. s0e,
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 a meeting
of the Burlington railroad officials
for the purpose Of considering the
building of a 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. q
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
1900 acres to winter wheat in this
valley and OF 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. n

WALKS LEADING TO
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 houses? How often do they
meet you at the door with the COM
.mand, "Take off those muddy shoes
before you come into this house."
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 o~utbuildings 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.

PHILLIPS COUNTY
NOTED FOR SEED
TURNS FROM IMPORTER TO EA'
PORTER; FARMERS REALIZE
VALUE OF PRODUCT
Much Corn Grown in Northern Lat1-
tudes Being Shipped Out for Seed;
Last Years Corn Acreage in Phil
lips County $4,000.

That Phillips county farmers nave
turned from importers to exporters Oh
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 $4,000 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 veal 81 Phillips
county farmers co-operated in the
crop improvement project which has
for it's aim the selection of varieties
OIL IdIm CIOpO dudptCQ " tOSoi NoA
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, CI-19 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-I
ally made by the executive board
based upon the recommendations of
the local leaders. The local leaders
report to the county agents office on
every demonstration and pure seed
field in their community three times
the growing eason on report
forms furnished for this purpose, in
obtained in these reports
being such as will show the manner
in which the demonstration is caring
for his field, the a%daptability of the
crop to the territory and the amount
of seed available for distribution.
The year 1922 was the third year
of work on the crop improvement pro-
ject and the fact that the number of
farmers raising or more standard
varieties of farm crops increased
rs in 1919 to 1,045 in 1922,
while the acreage increased from
lao in 1919 to 1926 in 1922, is
good indication of its popularity
with the farmer. !,

TREASURE STATE FARM AND LIVESTOCK
Sunflouers Valuable for
\, Silage and Soi6ng Crop

/ 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
mounds per head. When fed ensilage
the cows averaged IL pounds of clo-
YER and 1876 pounds of sunflower.
These figures show that 1876 pounds
of sunfIower ensilage replaced nine
pounds of clover hay which amounts
to saving that 81 pounds OF sunflow-
err ensilage is equal to one pound OF
hay.
Compared With Hay and Grain
IT 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
hounds in % 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 1886 pounds
of milk containing 1.5 pounds of but
ter fat, while their daily average
when not receiving the ensilage was
33.37 pounds of milk which contained
1873 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. gt
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 are influencing the
results of this experiment. No differ
ence in thrift, appetite or. general
condition of the COWS could be noted
as a 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-
sirable changes in flavor or odor but
none could be detected by expert
dairymen or the most particular of
the patrons using the milk.

Here's the Secret.

q UDDENLY our manager,
- DOME Bush, asked the writer
~ what to do, and instead of
saying why let US go home if we
have any, your Uncle Nick told
him to have the boys take their
bats to the plate instead of using
their customary fly swatters.
And sure enough, our splendid
fellows leaned on a pitcher named
Whitehill and we got seven runs,
winning the fray and splitting
the series with Detroit. McGraw
and Higgins has written to us,
asking us how to do this thing,
and so it looks like Nick Altrock
will be the real strategy behind
the worlds series contenders when
they meet in what is now called
the Battle of the Cemetery.
So, instead of McGraw calling
out signals, you will hear another
and sweeter voice calling out
dice when the time comes, but
McGraw says he won't pitch Dice,
rs the latter might get knocked
out Of the box.
