Colorado farmers are continuing 10
increase their stocks OF hogs, dairy
cattle and poultry. though their total
acreage in crops this year viii be
lower than Il has been for three or
four years Reports OF county asses
anrs 10 the state immigration depart
ment show that the increase in brood
SONS is especially large in northeast
counties; increases IN dairy cattle are
large in most Of eastern Colorado
and in = few mountainous counties
and increases IN poultry are general
in all parts Of the state.
The prevailing low price for hogs
doe not appear 10 have changed the
EVIDENT intentions Of eastern Colorado
farmers TO go into the hog raising
business on little larger scale every
year. especially in those counties
where corn Is grown extensively.
though there are fewer farms being
operated in most eastern Colorado
counties this year than last year,
nearly all those reporting have some
brood sows and most of them report
small increases over last year. In
some cases the increases amount to
as much as % per cent While the
total acreage under cultivation IN
these counties is smaller than last
year, the acreage devoted to corn and
other feed crops is larger than ever
before. and live stock is being intro
ducd in order 10 eat this in
creased feed supply.
The prices Of poultry and poultry
products have fucuated much less IN
the past three years than have the
prices OF most other farm products,
and farmers wo have raised and
marketed considerable numbers of
chickens, turkeys and other poultry,
are generally very well satisfied with
the returns. This year poultry is re-
ported on fully 30 per cent Of the
farms in the more important agr1cul-
tural districts and in some cases the
numbers reported are large
The number of dairy cattle on the
farms in nearly all sections of the
state has increased rather rapidly in
the past three years, and reports this
year show that the increase is con-
tinuing. In some sections of the
Western Slope farms that have here
tofore been operated as cattle ranches
are being converted to dairy farms
and better results are being obtained
than under the old ranch system. On
most of such farms beef cattle are
still being produced. but less extern
sively than formerly. while dairy cat
tie are increasing IN numbers each
year. There is also notable in
crease in the number of dairy cattle
in many of the sen1i-mountainous
counties, where in times past few
farmers have produced enough milk

Fat Checks for MIX

Dairying has firmer hold among
the farmers in the Chinook section
than ever before, and there is a
steady increase in the attention be-
ing paid to this phase of farming,
according to County Agent C. w.
Gustafson.
An example of the Importance of
milk as cash crop was recently
brought to the attention of the coun-
ty agent in the North Fork commun-
ity. A. S. Baldwin received a cream
check for December of 1886, the pro-
duct of Ia cows, only five of them
in full milk. For January his cream
check was $3.50. He has been feed
ing second cutting alfalfa and corn
to his milk cows. Baldwin is en-
phatic In his belief that dairying is
the only way to get anywhere with
the general farm in this country, and
is satisfied that it is paying bust
ness.

FARMERS OF THE TRIANGLE show KEEN
INTEREST 1N DRY LAND SPECIAL TRAIN

which is conservative in all of its
statements, has been able to tell the
world: ''The north central Montana
triangle Is down but not out. Most
| of the land in this area, farmed
correctly by the right type of farm
ers, will produce crops enough to as
sure permanence where the land is
well grassed and where there is a

Mr. Wilson in his lectures during
the demonstration claimed only to be
the mouthpiece of the agricultural
experts who compose the extension
service in this state. When he says,
then, is not snap judgment. He paints
no glowing picture of sudden wealth
from cheap land. He does not pre-
dict swift nor easy return of this
dry land area into the list of import
ant agricultural sections. But he
does give hope to those who are made
of the right stuff and during the tour
of the train this ray of hope has eff
fectively bolstered the courage of
hundreds of farmers and their famil
les. 1t means a return to normally"
in the triangle.
"In the older farming sections
competition is always at work." says
Wilson. Farmers who cannot meet
the competition go into other occu-
pations until only the better farmers
are left. In this north central Mon
tana section we had sudden settle
ment by a mixed class of people,
many of whom had no farming ex-
perience of any kind. 1t could not
have been expected that more than
a percentage of these would survive
to the point of success. Many of the
foreclosures and abandonments noted
in this territory have been due to
speculative people without the neces-
sary farming capacity, who have Ia
ken up the land in the hope of para
dox of cheap land, easy and big yields
and high prices.

MILLION BUSHELS
WHEAT IN SCOBEY
SHERIDAN COUNTY TOWN is THE
LARGEST WHEAT SHIPPING
CENTER
Two Million Bushels Wheat Have
Been Shipped from Scobey; Is Also
Great Flax Growing Section; Many
Large Farms.

There are still q million bushels
of wheat to be shipped from Sco-
hey, Montana, the worlds biggest
wheat shipping point, and already
2,OOO,OOO bushels have been sent
out from this point.
This is the statement of c. T.
Swenson, vice-president of the First
National Bank of Scobey, who is of
the belief that Scobey will have more
wheat planted in 1923 than was
planted in 1922.
"Scobey, while great flax grow
ing section, has lately increased the
wheat acreage and we now claim the
largest wheat growing section in the
world, where formerly we had the
largest flax growing section.
I'VE are informed of our. status
each year by the Minneapolis cham
Der of commerce and still contend
that our town is the greatest wheat
shipping point of the world.
Cali the wheat raised in the
Scobey district is spring wheat and
it has been of good quality. Some of
it is raised in Canada and imported
to Scobey for shipment.
1.-THE farmers are coming around
to wheat more and more and to mod
ern methods of farming. There is
not much virgin land left and flax
is not planted as much as it formerly
was.
There are some very large farms
in the Scobey section, operated on
large scale along the latest scientific
lines.
"The transportation facilities from
our town in coming to central and
western Montana points are not all
that Is to be desired, and because
of our proximity to North Dakota and
the Twin Cities the influence of North
Dakota and Minnesota is felt, but we
are real Montanans and great BOOST
