Governor Groesbeck, of Michigan, in
his message to the 1923 legislature,
states:
Exemption of Government securi-
ties from taxation has become a SER
! ious problem. 1t is un-American be-
cause Of its inequality and violates all
the rules Of economic justice. In
principle, those who receive the most
benefits from the safeguards of gov
eminent and who can best afford to
pay their proportionate share of tax
es, are not obligated to contribute
sufficiently towards such expense.
The laws permitting these conditions
should be repealed and reasonable
specific tax, annual tax, should be i'm
posed. No citizen having a sense of
duty toward the Government should
object"
AS the chief fiscal officer of the
nation Secretary Mellon has a profess
sional interest in the loss of taxes.
In the recent debate in Congress es-
Inmates were quoted indicating that,
because of exemption from income tax
OF governmental bonds, the national
loss in taxes may be somewhere be-
tween s12O,OOO,OOO and $3OO,0O0,o0o a
year.
Another important objection has
been raised to the issuance Of .taxfree
securities. Industry has been largely
financed by persons Of large means
and when they are induced to trans
FER their investments, because Of tax
from industrials to gov
ernmental bonds, the nation suffers
because industry languishes for lack
Of new money. Small investors can
not afford to take the risks of invest
ing In new enterprises, and large In
vestors will not take such hazards
when municipal and county bonds Of
Ter safety and relatively high yield.
Since business profits" means Ia
DOT payrolls," 1t is obvious that
essening Of investment In industry
Affects practically all classes OF our
economic world.

REVIEW OF STATE
MANUFACTURES
CENSUS REPORT SHOWS LARGE
GROWTH DURING THE PAST
FIVE YEAR PERIOD
There Were $50 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 a large growth, according tc
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 were 1890 manufacturing es-
adjustments in Montana, compared
to 939 in 1914, and SIT in 1909.
These establishments gave employ
ment to 20,692 persons. The total
of salaries and wages was $29,484,-
OF, and there was $137,476,277 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 a 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 its credit, and
employing 1928 wage In
respect to the capital invested in
manufacturing, however, and the
number of persons employed, Cas-
cade county led the state with more
than 100000 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 1O5, employing
1854 persons. Cascade had only SO
establishments, it's large totals under
the classification of capital invest
ed" and number of wage earners''
being due to the unusual size of it's
smelling and copper rod and wire
manufacturing establishments. Wage
earners in the Butte mines are not
included, as mining is not listed as
a manufacturing industry.
Flour mill and grist mill products
ranked first in value, being reported
at $16,386,000, next to which was
lumber and timber, valued at $10,-
$4,000. While the FIGURING indus
Try produced products of greater
value than any other branch of man

MID-AUCUST CROP
REPORT FOR STATE

While cattle shipments, principally
for eastern Montana, have started
moving to eastern markets, in some
regions grass is still green, which will
tend to make livestock shipments
later, according to the report of the
Montana Cooperative Crop Report
ing Service.
August was ushered in by unsea-
sonably cool weather, with light frost
reported from many counties, follow
ed by considerable rain in the central
and northern districts, in the form of
local showers, which interfered with
harvesting and haying. These condi-
tons favored the filling of spring
wheat and other small grains, check
ed the damage from grasshoppers,
and from rust in northeastern Mon
tana, but also retarded the growth
of corn.
Harvest is in full swing, varying in
the amount done in different sections,
and the threshing of winter wheat
anu AyO hdo otdiIou LII several COun-
ties.
Spring wheat has generally been
filling quite satisfactorily, especially
the later seedlings. The yield of
spring wheat in the northeastern and
eastern counties apparently will not
be up to the earlier expectations, due
to dry hot periods in June and July.
Corn has generally made excellent
progress though checked slightly by
the short cold period. Most of the
crop is expected to mature, provided
frosts are not u~nseasonably early.
Flax in the most important east
ern counties suffered somewhat from
the dry hot periods, but still is in
generally good condition. Some earl
Ter fields have been harvested.
Oats and barley have been filling

DAIRYINC GROWS
in MONTANA
REAL PROGRESS BEING MADE
IN INDUSTRY IN WESTERN
PART OF STATE.
Work of the Montana Mutual Dairy
Loan Association Is Showing Ex-
cellent Results, According to G. w.
Fowler, Secretary.

That Montana will soon rival Wis
consin as a dairying state and become
of the greatest milk, butter and
cheese producing sections of the
World was the declaration of G. w.
Fowler, former secretary of the Mon
tana Development association in
Great Falls, recently.
Coming Dairy Section
81 feel safe in saying" he declared,
that with the start we have had
and with western Montana's natural
advantages, and with the energy and
cooperation which the plan is receiv-
ing, there is every eason to believe
that western Montana is the real and
coming dairy section and that soon
her products will be measured in
much development will take place in
the next five years as would naturally
come about in a life time.
"The dairy cow comes now at a
most propitious time for an ideal
home in western Montana. For a
great many years there has been a
slowly growing interest in dairying.
A few good COWS from time to time
have found their way here and there
has grown up in various spots a
small flourishing interest in dairying !!
So it can be said that Montana has a
start in d~airying and the attempt
has been made in many instances
with no inconsiderable pride. There
are quite a large number of pure
bred herds.
Rapid Progress Made
"But since October, 1922, real
progress has been made. 1 doubt if
more rapid progress has been made
any part Of the United States.
Many factors have entered into this
progress. Conditions have been en-
,ouraging, good prices for dairy pro-
have been a factor, low prices
or other farm products have stimuli
ated the desire but I believe the most
otent factor has been the work of the
Mutual Dairy Loan ~associa-
ion, ar unique organization planned
the idea of building and loan
associations but lending it's money on
larry COWS instead"
Mr.. Fowler then outlined the work
his organization has done in the pro-
of the dairy industry and the
clip given to farmers in meeting the
difficulties they confront in daryl
ng.
The Kevin review. [volume] (Kevin, Mont.) 1922-1929, 1923-08-23

in fine shape, and good crops will
be harvested but will be comparative
ly short in the eastern counties.
Potatoes are generally making
good progress, but are a little late.
The second cutting of alfalfa is I'M
der way in most of the irrigated sec
tions, and about completed in north
western Montana. The crop of tim
othy and clover there is excellent and
the hay crops generally in the western
half of the state are returning good
yields. Wild hay will be a heavy
crop. The hay crops toward the east
ern end of the state will generally
be lighter than elsewhere, due to dry
hot weather. Considerable hay has
been injured in quality by showers
this month.
Ranges and livestock are generally
in good to excellent condition, the
exception for the former being in GER
tain districts in east central and
south eastern Montana. Grass is cur-
ing in many sections, but in other To-
calities it is still green, and this will
have a tendency to make stock ship
ments later. Shipments of cattle
begun, principally from the east
ern half.
Injury from grasshoppers appar-
emily is subsiding in all sections, al
though some localities still report
considerable damage from this source
but 1t is principally of a scattered ma
ture.

MEET TO STUDY
HOPPER MENACE
REPRESENTATIVES, OF CANADA
AND u. S. TO CONFER IN
GREAT FALLS.
Will Be Attended by Agricultural Ex-
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-
s%entatives of banks, bonding houses,
railways and other business organi-
cations interested in the effect of the
grasshoppers on western lands will
make reports. Invitations will be
sent to members of congress and sem
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.
1t 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,
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.

PHOTOGRAPHIC Abstract {

A PHOTOGRAPHIC Abstract OF
~ Montana Agriculture" is the
- title of a 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 nero 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 it's place. AS set
Element increased there came a de-
mand for a 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
riod from 1880 to 1920 shows some
startling changes in amounts of pro-
duction:

The total farm acreage of Montana
as given in the bulletin is 3~5,523,840
acres. Of this land 11,070,653 acres
is in improved farms and 1,681,729
acres is in irrigated farms. The en-
tire area of the state is divided into

FACTS AND FIGURES ON THE
PROGRESS OF STATE FARMING
MA FARM PAGE

37.6 per cent farm land, 11.8 per
cen improved farm land and 1.8 per
cent irrigated farm land.
Sheep raising was the largest cat
tie industry in the state in 1920,
figures show. In that year there
was raised in the state ~2,082,919
sheep, ~1,O57,418 beef cattle, 668,723
dairy cattle, $4,000 hogs and 1892
mules.
In 1919 there were 426 acres in
cabbage in Montana, 1872 acres in
sweet corn, 316 acres in tomatoes,
249 acres in green beans, 248 acres
in cucumbers and 238 acres in
onions.
The Kevin review. [volume] (Kevin, Mont.) 1922-1929, 1923-08-23

Another interesting bit of informa-
tion 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 t'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 67K 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 70h per cent and reduced
foreigners to the occupancy of but
29k 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 SO per cent of the
land held by foreigners in the state
and in 1920 held 42k per cent of
this farm acreage. 1t is interesting
to note how the various countries are
represented in the state. The fol-
table will show how they were
represented, on their 32h per cent
of the farm acreage in 1910 and 29H
per cent in 1920:
