AN ENTERPRISE THAT
MERITS YOUR SUPPORT,

Notwithstanding the amount of
shipping that is now lying idle in
the harbors and at the docks of the
United States, ocean travellers are
still obliged to pay high rates for
transatlantic travel, and an un.
paralleled opportunity to build up
the American Merchant Marine is
being lost Recognizing this fact,
and realizing that the time was
opportune for an undertaking of
this nature, the organizers of the
Great Northern S. S. Co, formed
their Corporation, which received
its charter from the State of Mass
achusetts, October II, 1922.
They visualized a new ocean
steamship line, plying between
Boston AID European ports, con.
trolled by the people, which would
offer to these same people a chance
for ocean travel on comfortable
commodious ships, at price with.
in the reach of all, but large
enough to allow a profit for the
investor and a sufficient margin to
allow for the carrying on and en-
larging of the enterprise.
This was their threefold pur.
pose-to render genuine service
to the people,-to help build up
American shipping,-and to bring
business and trade to the port of
Boston.
In spite of the failure of the
Ship Subsidy Bill, in spite of the
opposition which each new CON-
petitor in an established field en-
counters, this Company is bringing
its plans to maturity and expects
that very soon it will be able to
offer definite sailing dates to the
public.
This, surely, is an enterprise
that merits your support.

The Bureau and
The Indian,

The machinery workings of the
Indian Bureau and the welfare of
the Indians are distinctly two
different things. The Indian Blu
reau is to work the Indians and
Indians do not want to be worked
by that institution. The great
ma ority of the Indian race have
no more use for and Indian Bu-
reau than Commissioner Burke,
Secretary Work or the President
of the United States has for one.
The Indian Bureau is not working
for the best interests of the In
dams. The Bureau is kept up for
the interests of those who are
making their living by virtue of
the existence Of the Indian Office.
Medically, the Indian Bureau has
caused a condition that we call
atrophic state of the body, which
is caused by a want Of use and a
chance to develop. You imprison
person on q reservation for fifty
years and do for him, think for
him, keep his money, keep his
property, do all of his business,
give him only a spluttering light
of the A. B. C's, keep chat person
in fear and take away the respon-
sibilities of life from him, let him
not breathe the air of freedom,
Dole out to him this and that
religion, have a policeman watch
over him, arrest him and put MIN
in Jail for petty causes in order to
keep discipline on the reservation.
He must not DO this or that with
out permission from the Superin
tendent. His children are taken
away to school and brought back
to live as before. White improve
ments may creep in all around
him, pipes may run through the
reservation, his water rights may
be taken away from him, his land
is leased and he has nothing to say.
There is no ODE that can do any
thing for him but the Indian
Office. He cannot have a lawyer
without the consent of the Indian
Bureau. Just think of it! The
Indian Office says, the Indians
cannot live without the Indian
Bureau. They are right in way.
Why's Because the Indian Bureau
has caused the atrophlc condition
of the Indian people-caused by
want of use and chance to de-,
velop what God has endowed to
every human creature on the face
of the earth.

MILK DIET
GOOD FOR CALVES
JUST AS GOOD CALVES MAY BE
RAISED ON MILK AFTER
SEPARATING
Proper CAFE and Attention Demanded
in Feeding Young; Break Them
Into Skim Milk Diet Gradually;
Give Plency of Hay and Grain.

While the high prices for veal may
be tempting to the Montana farmer,
he should raise his own calves, and
build up a dairy herd just as rapidly
as possible. Dairying seems destined
to become one of the most profitable
farm industries in the state. Expert
ments conducted by experts of the
United States department of agri-
culture show that Montana Is the
best adapted for .dairying of any of
the northwestern states.
Skim milk is sufficient to raise
a mighty good calf. Some farmers,
howeverh are not as successful in
raising calves on skim milk as
others, such a diet requiring more
care and attention on the part of the
farmer.
While whole milk seems to produce
the best calf, it does not necessarily
follow that it produces the best COW.
Experiments carried out at several
state experimental stations show that
as good animals can be produced on
skim milk as on whole milk if proper
care and attention are given by the
farmer in feeding.
The calf should be allowed to
nurse it's mother for the first day or
two, after which it should be removed
and fed by hand. Whole milk, warm
and fresh from the mother, should be
given for ten days or two weeks at
least. Ten or twelve pounds per day
in two or three feeds should be given
at first, and the length of time that
it should be continued will depend
upon the strength of the calf.

a rather exhaustive crop upon the
supply of available plant food. Fol
this reason, crop rotation and the use
of barnyard manur r advised.
Anybody who has had experience
with sunflowers grown under irriga-
ton is aware of the difficulty encoun-
tered in harvesting sunflowers. The
tall sunflowers tangle and are diff
cult to harvest. The corn binder is
the best machine now available for
harvesting this crop, although some
growers cut by hand and place the
sunflowers directly on the wagon.
Sunflowers for silage are planted
and cultivated in practically the same
manner as corn. Early seeding has
given best results at Bozeman. AS
an average the first week in May has
given the highest yields. This also
allows the crop time to reach good
silage stage before severe frosts oc-
cur.
In the methods of seeding tests
under irrigation, the Montana expert
ment station obtains the best results
from seeding sunflowers in rows SO
inches apart with the hills four to
eight inches apart in the row. Good
stands are desirable under all con-
ditions. Cultivate sufficiently to
control the weeds and keep the soil
from becoming crusted on top.
Investigators conclude that sun
flowers should not be cut for silage
until so to 60 per cent of the plants
are in bloom, not only because of the
apparent higher feeding value of the
late cut silage but because there is
also a greater loss of juices when the
plants are harvested at an earlier
stage.
Good sunflower silage is usually a
dark o~live-brown color, much darker
than corn or sorghum silage. In tex
ture it compares favorably with corn
when the ~sunflowers have been
at the right stage of ma
turity and stored properly. Most of
the complaints regarding the texture
Of sunflower silage are the result of
the crop too late. When
the plants have been allowed to stand
until the seeds are in the hard dough
stage or ven nearer ripe, the stems
become woody and do not soften up
the silo. !

II is safe to say that, at the present
time, with feed prices at the point
they are, the 3O0,OOO,OO hens of the
United States, taken as a whole are
not paying a profit. If it were pos.
sible to pick out and kill off 100,.
600, 000 the poultry producers of the
United States would make more prof
it than they are now making.
Some discoveries have recently
been made which will enable the
poultryman to use the Ratchet with
some intelligence. There are two
methods which may be mentioned:
one we will call the color test; the
other, the feather test. We used to
think that feathers were only useful
in the show room, but a utility use
has been found for them. This test
has to do with melting. 1t has been
found that the early molter is a poor
layer, and that the later molter is
a good layer, as a general thing.
Lays Best in Pullet Year
We have also found that the hen
lays best in the first, or pullet, year.
1t is a question whether it pays to
keep the average flock of hens more
than one year, but the practice has
been to keep them two years, and in
the case of good stock, three years.
The trapnest, however, has shown us
that in every flock there are slack
ers, or poor layers, which should be
killed off at the end of the first year
or before. With the trapnest, OF
course, it is an easy matter to find
the slackers, but as the trapnest is
not in general use, being confined
largely to breeders and experiment
stations, some other method must be
followed.
A successful poultry raiser has
outlined the following scheme or
method for culling by means of the
melting test:
Kill off and market all hens that
are two years old or more, as soon as
they stop laying any time after the
first of August. Those that continue
laying till after October / are good
layers on the average and should
be retained for another year. In the
absence of trapnests non-laying will
be shown by the shriveled condition
of the comb and wattles, ~closeness of
the pelvic bones and hardened con-.
dition of the abdomen Of the fowl.
Hens that are one year old should
be marketed between August 1 and
October 1 II they are melting OF have
molted and have stopped laying.
Color Test Accurate
There is another test which may
be called the color test, which is very
accurate. The following rules
be followed in making this
test:
Of the yellow-1egged breeds, mar
ket those preferably that show yell
low color in the shanks and beak at
he end Of the laying year or before.
The good layer will usually have
legs.
Market those hens having yellow
Ear lobes at the end Of the laying Pc
'iod. The good layer loses the yell
ow color before the end Of the year.
We have found that those pullets

cause of the cool temperatures pre-
vailing during the growing season IL
the higher mountain valleys and the
short period between the killing frost
of spring and fall, it is impossible
to secure satisfactory yields of silage
from corn. Sunflowers appear to Dc
better adapted than corn to these al
titudes. In the first place, sunfloW-
ers are more cold resistant and for
this reason may be planted somewhat
earlier than corn. This enables the
crop to become established and start
growth earlier than corn. Frosts
that injure corr severely, apparently
do little damage to sunflowers.
AS a second advantage, it must be
mentioned that sunflowers in spite
of a short growing season produce a
larger tonnage of silage per acre than
is possible from corn grown under
the same conditions. At the Montana
experiment station at Bozeman at
an elevation of approximately 1890
feet and with an average frost free
period of SO days, sunflowers have
produced an average of 22 tons OF
silage per acre during the past five
years. During the same period, corn
has produced only 13 tons of silage
per acre. The experiment stations In
Washington and Wyoming have had
similar differences in yield between
corn and sunflowers.
Feeding value of the silage must
be considered as well as the yield.
Several experiment stations, notably
those in Montana, New Mexico and
Washington, and also the Manitoba
Agricultural college and the Univer-
sity of Saskatchewan all report ia
vorable results on feeding sunflower
silage to dairy COWS. However, sill
age made from sunflowers is not
without it's faults. In the vicinity OF
Billings and on the Huntley project,
certain growers have been unable to
make good silage from this crop and
at the Huntley experiment farm near
Osborn, Montana, sunflower silage
proved to be inferior to that made
corn. Due to the low percent
age of fermentable sugar in the sun
the ensiled crop spoils and
livestock refuse to eat the silage.
have been undertaken by the
Montana experiment station to deter
nine the causes of the variation in
ugar content.
Although sunflowers are said to be
hard on the land" data thus far
from studjes at the eXDeri-
lent station at Bozeman show that,
'ound for pound, sunflowers remove
bout the same amount of plant foods
S do our other farm crops. How
the fact that sunfloWers under
avorable conditions produce a very
arge tonnage per acre makes them !

SUMMER FALL0W
WILL LOWER RENT
MONTANA LAND BOARD ADOPTS
NEW RULE TO ENCOURAGE
CULTIVATION
Two Million and Half Acres Were
Under Lease Last Year; To Charge
Rental Only When Cultivated
Lands Are in Crop, New Decision.

In the future, when in summer fall
low. state lands under lease for agr1-
cultural will be exempted
from the charge of rs cents an acre
for cultivated lands, and rentals will
be collected by the state as though
they were being utilized for grazing
purposes.
Having adopted the recommended
lions of H. v. Bailey, register of state
lands, and G.. w. Cook, state land
agent at Helena, the state board OF
Land commissioners have made a
ruling to that effect.
Heretofore when state lands were
leased to stockmen or farmers they
ave been leased at rentals ranging
from $50 to $120 each section a
averaging about SIS a section,
and when any portion of the land was
cultivated the Jesse paid rental at the
rate of rs cents an acre upon such
land as was put under cultivation.
In view of the fact that many OF
the farmers are allowing portions OF
this farmed land to lie idle for sum
mer following it was deemed unjust
to charge the full rs cents an acre a
year and recommendations were
made by the officials of the land de-
partment that this rs cents should
be collected from farming land only
when in crop, and for that portion in
summer fallaw to collect at the rate
provided in the lease for grazing
land. These recommendations were
adopted by the board.
According to the records of the
state land office there was under
lease at the close of the last fiscal
year, June 80, 1922, 2,453,597 acre
of state owned laand.
The board authorized the invest
ment of $4,000 of the permanent
f unds in outstanding war
rants of the hail insurance board,
bearing interest at the rate of six
per cent. This purchase will clear up
all warrants issued by the board for
hail losses of 1922. \
