MEET TO STUDY
HOPPER MENACE
REPRESENTATIVES, OF CANADA
AND U. S. TO CONFER IN
GREAT FALLS.
Will Be Attended by Agricultural Elk"
perts From Many Western States
and Province; BOzeman State
College Given Credit.

An international conference for the
study of grasshopper areas and posi-
BILE means of control will be held in
Great Falls August 81, according to
r. A. Cooley of Bozeman, state ento-
mologist.
The conference will be attended by
representatives from North and
SouthDakota, Wyoming, Utah, Mon
tana, British Columbia, Saskatchewan
and Alberta. Research workers rep
resenting state and province depart
ment and federal workers from the
department of agriculture will be
present to compare notes on the re-
suits of their studies of the past.
County agents from many parts of the
territory covered by grasshoppers
will report on what they have learned
in the control of the pests and repre-
sentatives of banks, bonding houses,
railways and other business organf-
cations interested in the effect of the
grasshoppers on western lands will
make reports. Invitations will be
sent to members of congress and SEN
ators from the affected states to join
in the conference with the idea of
studying the matter from the point
of possible appropriations for COM
batting the pest, should this seem adj
visable.
Credit State College
While the state college at Bozeman
is assuming the initiative in calling
the conference, it is not advocating
any set program of fighting grass
hoppers, this being left entirely to
what may develop at the conference.
It is not the purpose of the persons
advocating the conference to have it
in the form of a general public meet
ing. The persons who are asked to-
attend the conference are those who
are actively engaged in research
work or grasshopper control, those
who are interested as county agents
or other official capacity, and those
who are connected with the problem
by reason of interests or ownership
in large areas of lands of the west.
1T may be decided at the conference,
Mr.. Cooley said, that some such large
mass meeting might later be called,
but the meeting at this time will be
limited to these interested persons.

REVIEW OF STATE
MANUFACTURES
CENSUS REPORT SHOWS LARGE
GROWTH DURING THE PAST
FIVE YEAR PERIOD
There Were 939 Manufacturing Es-
adjustments in the State in 1914;
There Are Now 1890; Give EN-
ployment to Many.

Manufacturing in Montana for the
five years ending with 1920, dis
closed large growth, according to
the Fourteenth U. S. census of manu-
features, a copy of which report has
been received by Governor Joseph M
Dixon. At the start of the year 1920
there we're 1890 manufacturing es-
adjustments in Montana, compared
to 939 in 1914, and 677 in 1909
These establishments gave employ
ment to 20,692 persons. The total
of salaries and wages was $29, 484,-
OH, and there was S137,476,277 OF
capital invested in the various indus
tries.
Owing to the fact that the census
figures are more than three years
behind the time, an accurate gauge
of Montana's prosperity in industry
at present is not provided in the re-
port, yet the gradual trend over 25-
year period, reported at intervals of
five years, indicates a gradual de-
velopment in an industrial way that
temporary periods of adversely or
normal periods of expansion such as
was caused by the war, cannot re-
tard.
Silver Bow county, mining of
ores not being included, led in the
number of manufacturing establish
ments with 125 to it's credit, and
employing 1928 wage earners. In
manufacturing, however, and the
number of persons employed, Cas-
cade county led the state with more
than $6,000,000 invested in manu-
featuring, and 2,129 persons employ
ed. Silver Bow county had slightly
more than 100000 invested in
manufacturing. Yellowstone county
was next to Silver Bow with regard
to the number of establishments,
having at that time los, employing
1 ,184 persons. Cascade had only Sc
its large totals under
the classification of "capital invest
ed" and number of wage earners"
being due to the unusual size of its
and copper rod and wire
establishments. Wage
earners in the Butte mines are not
included, as mining is not listed as
! manufacturing industry.
Flour mill and grist mill products
ranked first in value, being reported
1T s16,386,0O0, next to which was
lumber and timber, valued at $780,
$4,000. While the FIGURING indus

A PHOTOGRAPHIC Abstract of
u Montana Agriculture, is the
4 "A title of bulletin to be put out
soon by the Experiment station OF
the State College at Bozeman, Mont.
AS the title implies, this bulletin is
to contain pictures, in graphs and
figures, of valuable information rela-
tive to the agriculture in this state.
Among other interesting details,
which are too numerous to be dwelt
upon in these columns, the bulletin
will show that where a decade ago
oats was the largest cereal crop of
the state, today wheat holds forth
in first place by almost ten times
as great a crop.
Until 1910 live stock raising was
the predominating agricultural type.
Oats was the best feed and hence the
largest cereal crop of the state. But
with the decrease of the range cattle
industry oats lost its place. AS set
Element increased there came de-
mand for cash crop and wheat forg-
ed to the front until, in 1920, it rep
resented "a per cent of the cereal
acreage of the state.
The acreage in grains over a pc
Rod from 1880 to 1920 shows some
startling changes in amounts of pro-
duction:

Bow SLAYER Attempts to Escape

A length of copper wire attached
to small piece of carbon and tapped
so theuser will not get a shock, is
the latest device employed by Roy
Walsh, convicted slayer of Albert
Johnson, Renova merchant, and Ar
thur Hughes, his alleged accomplice,
in an effort to escape from the Boul-
der county jail.
The circle banner. [volume] (Circle, Mont.) 1914-1939, 1923-08-24

Another interesting bit of informa-
ton which will be published in the
bulletin is the nativity of farmers in
Montana There has been consider
able discussion as to whether or not
the native white" settlers were
holding their own" in the state or
being pushed off the land by foreign
ers. Many have contended that this
is the case, that the native whites"
are gradually being pushed out, but
figures compiled for the bulletin
show that they are actually gaining.
For instance, in 1910 the native
whites" occupied " per cent of
the total farm acreage of the state
while other races occupied 32h per
cent. By 1920, however, the ''native
whites gained in their holdings and
occupied 701a per cent and reduced
foreigners to the occupancy of but
2915 per cent of the states farm
acreage.
White settlers, other than those
native to Montana, also showed an
increase over the 10-year period. In
1910 they held 80 per cent of the
land held by foreigners in the state
and in 1920 held 421s per cent of
this farm acreage. 1t is interesting
to note how the various countries are
represented in the state. The fol-
lowing table will show how they were
represented, on their 321s per cent
of the farm acreage in 1910 and 20 " |
per cent in 1920:
