Two we'll known Ellisport sum
mer families were united at ZOO
O'Clock Thanksgiving evening

ring service and as soon as the
silken knot was tied the grand
father Of the bride, the Rev. John
S. Shirrill, offered the nuptial
prayer.
One of the fairest pictures that
could ever meet the eye was af-
forded when the guests, so in
number, were assembled in the
beautiful home of the bride on Ev-

SHEEP MEN ARE TO HAVE
PROSPERITY
Says it VIII Take Five Years for
World Supply and Demand to Get
Adjusted; Foreign Output Has
Been Cut.

Indicative of the present situation
in the domestic wool market, Frank
P. Sullivan, representative at Boston
of the National Wool Warehouse and
Storage company of Chicago, who
visited in Helena, declares that stocks
of wool available in the east are prac-
tically depleted, with the seasons
American clips the sole reliance for
of the veal This years wool from
Australia, New Zealand and South
America will not begin coming in
until December at the earliest, Mr..
Sullivan said.
s'This situation places the Ameri-
can grower in the strongest position
he had been in in years." said Mr..
Sullivan. president Wood, of the
American Wooden Mills in a recent
interview said that, in his opinion,
the peak of prices to the American
grower will not be reached until
1924, barring, of course, adverse cir
cumstances which ever the most pes
simistic "a find nc ground on which
to base a prediction. With a reduc-
ton around 20 per cent in the yield
in Australia, New Zealand and South
America last year, under ~circumstan-
ces similar to those from which the
American grower is now safely
emerging, it is my opinion" said Mr..
Sullivan, sit will take five year for
the world supply and demand respect
ing wool to get within normal speak
ing distance.
within that time, and very prob
ably much sooner than the man in the
street anticipates it, Germany will
again be a large buyer and consumer
of wool. After the r~eparations ques-
ton has been settled, and this may
not be far off, Germany will be a
borrower of large sums of money
from American bankers, which will
open the way toward actual rehabili-
tation in that country. Illustrating
the thread-bare condition of Germany
an American buyer not long ago made
a trip to that country with a million
to spend for rags. 1t was
with the greatest difficulty that he
found sufficient quantity to make his
trip worth while, and such stocks as /
he could pick up had been so worn
before being discarded that they were 3
practically unusable in the manufac- +
of fabrics. So when German {
people once again are in the market +

Importance of Flax
AS Cash Crop

Farmers must reduce their wheat
acreage and produce more profitable
crops" says John R. Mitchell of the
federal reserve board, in a talk at
Billings. MI. Mitchell pointed out
that there is an over-productiOn of
wheat in America, and an u%nder-prO-
duction of flax. Flax, he says, is
an important and profitable crop for
the northwest.
For years the Montana Experiment
Station has urged Montana farmers
to plant more flax. Montana for
many years has ranked third or
fourth in flax production in the Uni
ted States, and this state will for
some time in the future be one of
the country's chief flax producing
sections. 1t is rated one of the best
cash crops for planting in the north
west.
Last year the United States pro-
duced only ten of the t~hirty-five mill
lions of bushels of flax that it used.
Had the same situation existed with
wheat, there would have been a world
famine. Annually we are sending to
Argentine some fifty millions of dol
lars for flax seed.
While the price Of wheat in Amer
lea is far out of line with prices of
other commodities, the price of flax
is more nearly in line with other
This year there will be a re-
newal of building operations and a
greater use of paint than in previous
This combined situation
makes it desirable that those farm
ers who r in flax producing sec
reduce their wheat acreage and
turn to flax as a profitable crop.
AS far as Montana is concerned, it
seems possible that some old land
will need to be seeded to flax. New
breaking is the ideal land for flax,
The Kevin review. [volume] (Kevin, Mont.) 1922-1929, 1923-05-03

| but old land in this state will pro-
duce flax if correctly handled. Care
must be taken that there is nc Rus
sian thistle on old land to be sowed
to flax.
There a be no danger of over
production of flax in the United
States. A tariff protection for the
American grower is additional surety
of fair price, and an " increasing
demand for linseed oil offers salts
factory markets to the farmer who is
wise enough to turn part of his form
er wheat acreage over to this great
cash crop of Montana.

issues a bulletin on the proper
method of preparing the SEED bed
for flax, how to treat seed and how

Sumflower Silage as Feed
For Breeding Ewes
By w. e. JOSEPH, Montana Experiment Station.)

A fair degree of success has re
suited from feeding %sunflower silage
to breeding ewes. There is no dan
ger from feeding well preserved ST
lage to breeding ewes although they
are easily affected by silage that has
undergone unfavorable change due to
improper packing in the silo, low
moisture content, or prolonged expos
ure to the air in other ways. In four
comparative tests of the value of sun
flower silage for replacing hay in ra-
tions for breeding ewes, the average
requirement for replacing one pound
of alfalfa or clover hay was practical
ly 2.8 pounds of the silage.
In most cases the amounts of ST
lage fed per eve daily ranged from
rs to 4 pounds. In one case, an
average daily feed of Sc pounds of
sunflower silage was fed, replacing
2 pounds of hay in the usual ration
for these ewes. The results of feed
ing the larger amount of silage was
practically the same as were obtained
with the smaller amounts.
Silage as the sole feed for breed
ing ewes did not give good results
in one trial. While the ewes endured
this treatment for a short time fairly
well, they did go down in condition
considerably during the time. The
lambs were strong at birth and the
milk flow was fairly good but the
ewes had not built up a reserve on
which they could draw after lambing.
AS a result, they went down in con-
dition rapidly while sucking the
lambs.
BY feeding bright oat straw and
sunflower silage according to appe-
tite and by feeding 3.5 to 4 ounces
c~ottonseed cake in addition, very
good results were obtained in one
trial. Although the ewes did not
gain quite as much as those on a ra-
ton of 4 pounds of alfalfa hay, the
f~leeces, strength and weights Of the
at birth and the milk flow OF
the eve indicated that this combi-
nation was practically as good as the
ration of hay.
The place of sunflower silage as a /
feed for breeding ewes varies depend
ing on local and seasonal conditions.
far as observations in connection
with the experiments with this feed
be taken as a guide, there is no
merit in rations containing :

Utilize a Natural
Advantage

The necessity of changing some OF
u farming products in Montana has
caused considerable looking around
for something to relieve conditions.
AS we look for new ideas various
problems present themselves.
The location of Montana at a dis
lance from markets means that our
farm products should be concentrat-
ed so we can overcome this disad-
vantage. Dairy products, livestock
and poultry with its products are
some of the concentrates that will
reduce our disadvantage on account
of the distance from market and uti-
lie the ~by-products of these indus
tries.
Study of our farm problems will
indicate to us where we can Improve
u natural advantages. The low
price of land means hat we can pro-
duce feed for less than it can be
produced by those who are close to
markets but who have higher land
values as an element of cost to con-
slider in their production.
The purchase of high price feeds
and the difficulty Of obtaining them
during periods of scarcity is the big
risk in stock raising. Also the re-
duction of range lands puts a prob
lem before the stockman to provide
winter feed.
The dairyman, the cheesemaker
and the cream producer have to pro-
vide for the short pasture months,
the drouth and winter feeding. His
feeds should be close to the ranch
for economical production. With a
limiting factor of producing feed
close to the home ranch, crops that
give more feed per acre should be
cultivated. Such feeds as corn, sun
flowers and alfalfa give excellent re-
suits for this purpose.
The keynote of our problem seems
to be Investigation or dividing the
risk. With this idea in mind the
average producer is more interested
in a feed reserve and a method of
storage.
The storing of feed is regarded as
one of the best applications of the
principles of dividing the risk
through crop conservation and re-
serves.
The storage of feed in a structure
insures no waste, with succu-
lent feed always at hand, easy to get
1T, and with the largest capacity for
'ize of structure is a silO.
