BIG CROP APPLES
IN BITTER ROOT
GOVERNMENT ESTIMATE FROM
800 TO 1000 CAR LOADS
FOR THE SEASON
Report is that the Orchard Situation
in Western Montana Was Never
Better; Potato Crop Will be Small
Ter than Last Year.

According to estimates which have
been made by railroad officials of the
Northern Pacific, the Bitter Root
apple crop will run between 500 and
1000 carloads this year, providing
the crop comes up to the present ex-
pectations and there is no hail or
wind to damage the crop. Reports
which have been received by the rail-
road are that the orchard situation
never was better.
The sweet cherry output from the
valley is estimated at present to be
about 10 carloads, while it is expect
ed that 80 carloads of strawberries
will be marketed. The first carload
of strawberries to leave the
valley was shipped out last year, and
it was followed by about IL more car
loads.
The potato crop will not be as
large as it was a year ago, but it is
that between 800 and 400
carloads will be shipped out of the
valley this year.
The bulk of the outgoing shipping ,
at this time from western Montana
is lumber and about 200 carloads a
week are being shipped from Bonner,
Midtown, Missoula, the Bitter Root
valley and the Flathead branch.
Through lumber shipments from the
coast to the east are running from
ESQ to 300 cars every "a hours.

Poultry Stock
How Two Bankers Are Helping
Out the Farmers of the North
Country
(Montana Experiment Stationl


Until we have better stock we are
never going to have a uniform prod
uct from our poultry nor will one
ever take the same interest in a
scrub flock that will be taken in the
standard bred birds, says H. E. Cush-
man, Extension Service poultry spe-
cialist,
Two bankers in this state, Mr..
Burks of Chinook and Mr.. Arnot of
Glasgow are far enough sighted to
realize this and are giving their CO.
operation in what is known as the
"Pullet Auction Sale" project. 1t is
a plan for bringing in standard bred
stock into a county and will, in the
end, standardize the birds of that
county. This latter phase cannot be
over-estimated, especially when you
consider the difficulty experienced
this year in obtaining enough eggs of
standard bred birds to supply a coun-
ty on a given date.
The plan, as developed, is as fol-
lows: Setting of eggs were obtained
by the banker, with the aid of the
extension service, and put out, five
settings to a farmer. The farmer, in
turn, agrees to set, care for eggs and
raise the chicks to the best of his
ability. Then in the fall he returns
two pullets for every setting of eggs
received. These pullets are to be
graded and sold at a public auction
sale, hence the name of the project
"Pullet Auction Sale" The proceeds
of the sale go to the banker to REIN
burse him for money expended on
eggs this spring.
The Blaine county sale will be held
at the Corn Show which comes off in
November. The Valley county one
will be held about the same time.
Blaine county is putting in Rose
Comb Rhode Island Reds, while VAL
ley county has the Barred Plymouth
Rocks. Mr.. Gustafson, the Blaine
county agent, firmly states that
Blaine county will be the r. C. R. I.
R. county of the state. That's good
news. In the future if we want a
hundred or more setting eggs for a
certain date all we will have to do
is to get in touch with the Blaine
County Poultry Association and the
eggs will be forthcoming. Likewise
we will send to Glasgow for Rocks.

Food Manufacturer Launches
National Driue for New Recipes
OVER $500 TO BE PAID FOR BEST RECIPES RECEIVED

A nationwide campaign, which
will give every housewife in America
a chance to prove her inventive abil-
ity in the culinary field, was launched
May LIST by the Postum Cereal Co.,
Inc, of Battle Creek, Michigan, man
ufacturer of Grape-Nuts.
Grocers are being supplied with
circulars, for free distribution over
their counters, giving full particu-
lars of the plan which is expected to
reveal not less than one hundred new
uses for Grape-Nuts.
For more than rs years, Grape
Nuts has been sold and advertised
as a cereal food. But interesting let
tiers from women in all parts of the
country, describing the many at
tractive dishes they are making with
Grape-Nuts, have convinced the man
ufacturers that a national drive for
new uses of Grape-Nuts should devel-
op a host of valuable suggestions,
which will be warmly welcomed by
busy housewives everywhere.
Not less than 1O1 recipes or sug-
gestions will be purchased at $50
each and $4,000 additional, divided
into four awards of $1,000, $3.50,
$500, and $3.50 respectively, will be
paid for the four best recipes or sug-
gestions submitted. Good H~ousekeep-
ing Institute, conducted by Good
Housekeeping Magazine, will decide
four recipes or suggestions en-
titled to these special awards.

ABOUT BUILDING A RESERVOIRS
HOW TO SELECT THE SITE

masonry, steel or other expensive
materials is to be built, it should be
designed by a competent engineer
and constructed under his direction.
But there are many places where the
farmer can build a dam at small ex-
pense outside Of his own labor.
The earthen dam can be build on
a variety of foundations and when
properly constructed furnishes a safe
and reliable structure. The founda-
ton for an earthen dam should con-
tain an impervious stratum at a mod
crate depth. Compact clay or hard
pan makes the best foundation. Solid
rock without assures also forms a
good foundation. Solid, we'll COM
pacted clay should be used near the
upper face of the dam.
Imperviousness may be secured
when necessary by the use of a cor
wall. 1t may be made of puddled
clay, masonry, concrete, steel or
other suitable material. 1t should be
built near the upper face of the dam.
The junction between the dam and
the earth or other foundation must
be carefully made tight so no seep-
age will start along this surface to
produce leakage. If seepage does
start there is great danger that the
water will eventually wash out the
dam. All vegetation, and humus
should be removed from the founda-
ton to the outer toe of the dam and
trench dug through the soil to the
stratum to be filled with
impervious clay.

MANY CASES OF
GOITER IN STATE
LEWISFOWN LEADS WITH ONE
THIRD OF SCHOOL CHILDREN
AFFLICTED

Switzerland was long the center o.
the goiter trouble. Montana lately
has been receiving attention from
medical men and health authorities
because it is in a district in which
the disease is prevalent. Once it was
thought that the high mountains of
Switzerland had something to dc
with the disease, but now it is known
that lack of iodine in food and water,
affecting the thyroid gland, is res
ponsible for it. Interesting Stats
tics have just been given out by a
federal health service physician, DR..
F. T. Foard of Great Falls, relative
to its prevalence In the state.
1t is stated that Lewistown has the
largest number of cases among the
school children of n city in the
state, there being 1872 pupils afflicted
out of a total of 935, which is a per-
centage of 34.4. Of the 1922 the
girls numbered PIG and the boys 1903.
Speaking of this matter, a Jews story
said:
At the Lewistown high school,
out of 626 pupils examined, of
both sexes, ZIG, or approximately
ALB per cent, had goiter. CLASH
fled by sexes, out of 1853 girls ex-
amined, 1913 or approximately 54.5
per cent, were afflicted with goi-
ter, while among the boys in the
high school, out of 263 examined,
81, or about 23.5 per cent, had
goiter.
Carbon county ranks second in
the state with a total of 1913 per
cent, as against 37.4 per cent in
Lewistown, including all schools.
Cascade county is credited with a
percentage of 1872; Lewis and
Clark, including Helena and part
of the county, 1876 per cent; Vel
lowstone county, exclusive of Bill
lings, IS per cent, and so on down
the list to the city of Havre, which
has the lowest record of any city
in the state examined so far, with
a total of 81 per cent.
Golfer is very disfiguring, the neck
n some becoming much en-
and misshapen. The disease
an be prevented and cured by the
administration of iodine in the water.
t is said that Lewistown and some
Their places will begin treating the
upils of the public schools for goi-
or. The treatment is simple and not
ostly, and the condition, having
cen recognized, will be effectively
ealt with.

Grasshoppers
Will Be As Bad This Year AS
Last Year, Says College Expert.
(Montana Experiment station)

NNAOASoho 1APOi1htOhI bbdL1OAJ
Expressing the opinion that grass
hoppers will be about as bad in Mon
tana this year as they were in 1922,
State Entomologist R. A. Cooley of
the State College at Bozeman issues
a warning to farmers to prepare in
advance the methods of control that
will prevent crop losses.
"The poisoned bran mash as used
last year is the standard remedy"
says Mr.. Cooley. cit is effective and
almost universally pronounced salts
factory. In some parts of the state
conditions exist which will permit the
destruction of the young hoppers by
a less expensive method. Some stub
BILE fields and fields full of dead dry
weeds may be burned over, produc-
ing heat enough to kill the young
hoppers. A few seconds of high tenn
perature will kill them. Of course,
every farmer will have sense enough
not to start a fire that will endanger
property"
The practice of burning to kill the
young hoppers has been urged by a
number of county agents and farmers
who have found this method effect
i've. Where burning is not done the
next means of control is the use of
poisoned bran mash, which will pro-
tect the crop practically 100 per cent
If used at the right time and in the
way. Farmers are cautioned
to scatter the poisoned bran mash so
that it does not fall in Jumps on the
ground. Stock poisoning comes often
from Jumps of the poisoned mash
found by livestock on the feeding
ground. If scattered on the ground
in the proper manner, poisoned bran
mash has absolutely no danger for
livestock.

SWEET CLOVER IS
GOOD FOR bessie
EXPERIMENT DEMONSTRATES
IT'S FOOD VALUE IN YIELD
OF MILK
-Four Acres Maintained Cows Pro-
ducing 1898 Pounds of Milk in
a Single Season, or a Profit of
Nearly 500 Per Acre.

Sweet clover makes an excellent
pasture for milk cows, according to
recent tests, and it is possible to OBJ
tain a continuous pasture with sweet
clover by allowing it to seed itself
every year or by seeding it each win
ter or spring.
Six Holstein cows were turned into
a sweet clover pasture of not quite
four acres in May of last year.
The pasture used was the second
years growth, this field having been
seeded the year previous with oats
and the clover harvested for hay. The
plants made an early start and had
a good growth when the cattle were
turned in.
The entire number were kept on
this field continuously for 40 days,
and because the dry season checked
the growth of the clover three COWS
were removed at this time. AS the
pasture improved later, COW was
returned on August 5, and after that
time four cows were pastured con-
tinuously until October L. The COWS
were kept on the sweet clover pas
ture day and night. The only food
received by the COWS outside the pas
lure was a grain ration composed of
corn chop, bran, and oil meal, fed in
the proportion of n pound of grain
to each four pounds of milk pro-
duced per day. ,
Milk Worth $S8 To Acre
During the period the COWS were
on the pasture, the total amount of
milk produced was 19,393.5 pounds,
containing 680.58 pounds of butter
fat. The cows consumed 4,602.8
pounds of grain. Figuring the milk
produced worth 20 cents a gallon
and the grain fed $50 a ton, one acre
of pasture produced $8S.46 worth
of milk. On the butter fat basis,
with butter fat at only 40 cents per
pound, n acre produced $40.85 of
fat exclusive of the skim milk.
The total number of days of pas
ture obtained by all cows in the lot
amounted to 618 days, an average of
154.55 days for four cows. At this
rate the pasture of 3.8 acres kept
four COWS for approximately five
months, or in other words, one acre
of sweet clover pasture kept one COW
for five months.
No Trouble From BIoat
During the time the COWS were on
the pasture, no trouble was exper- :

TN selecting a reservoir site one
wants to take into consideration
the fall of the land that is to be
submerged, the character of the soil,
the use he will have for the water,
and whether or not he can get the
water out by gravity for use on the
land that is to be irrigated, says H. E.
Murdoch, agricultural engineer at
the Montana Experiment Station.
There are very few places where it
will pay to store water to be pumped
on the land ~afterward.
There are a great many natural
reservoir sites in the coulees of Mon
tana. They are ordinarily a wide
flat bottom in the coulee with a mar
row outlet. If there is a natural
spillway somewhere away from
where the dam is to be, it is a great
advantage, and farmers can not af-
ford to do quite a bit of extra work
to be able to use the natural spill
way. Sometimes the reservoir site
will not be in the main coulee at all
but away from it in some natural
lake bottom, in this case a diversion
ditch is necessary to carry the flood
water to the reservoir, and should
be made large enough to fill the res
ervoir within the average flood sea-
son of the coulee that it is to be
taken from. In any case the reser
voir site should be selected that will
hold the most water with the least
amount of labor and cash outlay in
building the dam, diversion and spill
way, and in getting the water to the
that is to be irrigated. .
When the reservoir site has been

tions were not always favorable. On
13 days during the experiment it
rained either part of the day or the
entire day.
The cows were weighed each 10
days in order to determine whether
they held their weight during the
pasture season. The weights of the
three COWS kept on the pasture for
the entire period best serve for a
comparison. The average weight of
the three cows before turning on the
pasture was 1884 pounds. At the
of the experiment their aver
age weight was 1904 pounds.
