COPPER And ZINC
INDUSTRY GOOD
GREAT FALLS PLANTS WORKING
AT PEAK OF PRODUCTION;
SOME FIGURES
Mining of Baser Metals in Very
Healthy Condition; Spring Moist
ure Promises Good Crops; Prosper
fty Just Around the Corner.

The copper and zinc manufacturing
industry of the state of Montana once
more is in such flourishing condi-
ton of production that it is break
ing records for magnitude in that res
pect. The Anaconda Copper Mining
company's smelter and metal manu-
featuring plant at Great Falls this
spring has turned out more copper
and zinc in a given time than ever be-
fore in its history, and a Great Falls
dispatch, commenting upon the boom
ing state of the works, says:
At the rod mill production last
month totaled II, 100000 pounds
of rods, exceeding the best previous
months record by 100000 pounds.
The wire mill produced 100000
pounds, the best previous month,
November, 1922, having shown
production of 100000 pounds.
In the zinc plant last month pro-
duction reached 100000 pounds
or an increase over the best pre-
vious month of 100000 pounds.
The closest approach to this mark
was made in December, 1922, when
the output was 12,700,000. Sew
enteen million seven hundred thou
sand pounds of refined copper was
produced in the electrolytic plant
in March, the greatest output ever
reached in that department. The
best previous month was in Deem
Der, 1918.
Since it is a fixed policy of all in
dustry to slow down production or in
crease it according to the condition
of the markets, this activity at Great
Falls indicates that the demand for
copper and zinc is healthy, which
should connote a condition of pros
perity for the zinc and copper mines
at Butte, and attendant benefits for
the state.
With the great mining industry of
Montana going in such vigorous
stride, and the livestock and farming
industries facing better conditions
than since 1916, with plenty of spring
moisture and the promise of improv-
ing markets for farm and ranch prod
lcts, the people of the state are war
,anted in taking a very cheerful view

Every housewife in the Land
should take advantage of this extra
ordinary opportunity to earn the
tidy sum of $4,000 by little pleas
ant and educational effort in her
own home. Also the fair and equal
chance to secure one of the liberal
awards to be made by Good House
keeping Institute.
Moreover, there's the greater
knowledge of the value of Grape
Nuts, not only as delicious break
fast cereal, but in the preparation
of a variety of appetizing dishes that
add to the health and pleasure OF
the whole family.

bronze GRASS IN
VALLEY COUNTY
COUNTY AGENT HAS is COOPER
ATORS IN FORAGE CROP
PROSPECTS
Large Number of Farmers of Valley
County Are Facing the Question of
Forage Crop for Feed; Stock
Like Bronze Grass.

In conjunction with the corn prof.
ect, which is one of the major ex-
tension projects in Valley county
County Agent Murray E. Stebbins
reports that the forage crop project
is receiving second place in the line
of attention. He says that he has
1 5 co-operators for this year. Twelve
of the projects are demonstration
fields of bronze grass and three are
demonstrations fields comparing the
bronze and slender wheat grass. Olaf
Larson of Opheim will have two dem
onstration fields of the two grasses
of 20 acres each.
Mr.. Stebbins reports that he start
ed the project three years ago as a
minor project and now has three pro-
ducing projects. These have furnish
ed seed for most of the other projects.
DR.. R. V. Rogers has demonstrated
slender wheat grass and G. w. An
derson of Opheim and James Butcher
have demonstrated bronze grass. On
this projects County Agent Stebbins
says:
Why Grasses Are Needed
The agriculture of Valley county
has advanced to point where a large
number of farmers are facing the
question of forage crop for feed
and are asking themselves the ques-
ton: What kind of grass am going
to grow for hay.
This question is forced upon the
farmer from more than one angle.
He may have farmed his land long
enough so that when in bare fallow
it blows and drifts. Such fields can
be seeded down to bronze grass for
few years and correct this condition.
The farmer may be short of hay or
pasture, or both, and is wondering
what grass is hardy and good pro-
ducer on bench land and at the same !
time is palatable to stock, calves and
horses as well as nourishing.
A field on the farm may be badly |
with some noxious weeds and !
the farmer is at loss to know what |
TO do about them. If the farmer has
plenty of land, seed that field down |
% good hardy grass for period of
ears.
A farmer may have too much land
lnder cultivation and wants to know
low to turn it back to grass. Seed
t down to some hardy perennial
srass, that will make hay or pasture.
OF all the grasses and forage crops
mentioned for northern Montana,
rome grass and slender wheat grass
learly leads them all for the pur-
roses mentioned above, says Stebbins.
Which Is Best?
Now which of the two is best?

Wheat grass and also better than tim

Theat grass are about the same. The

NJ, the destination of the Buford Is to the Ice Pack and return, thus affording the excursionists aboard an opportunity to view the hugh ice fields that lie in the waters of the Arctic North of Nome. It seemed incredible to many of the excursion- ists that they would have to travel approximately 500 miles further north of Nome in order to encoun- ter ice in the summer time, many Of the people on the excursion trip were under the impression that Nome was in the middle of ice bergs the year round, this impress sion is no doubt given to people from the outside by those who com dnuAlly refer to our territory as the hnd of ice and snow.

Compton is also an aviator of much experience, both of these young men received their training in the flying school of the United States Army.
 Wednesday afternoon Lajotte took Captain Thomas Ross of the United States Coast Guard Station for a flight Captain Ross states that he felt just as safe as tho he was home in bed. during the flight.
 After landing with Captain Ross, Walter N. Irwin tourist visiting Alaska from New York made flight, and stated it was the first time he had ever been up. Irwin stated that the experience was won derful and he would like to be able to go every day.
 Harry Phillips who is represen- tative of the International News Reel Corporation, intended to take pictures of Nome and the surround ing country Thursday from the plane while flying over Nome but owing to the fact that the rain did not let up the flight was postponed until a more favorable day arrives.
 Friday Lajotte and Compton hop ped off and flew over the city dolng ,fferent kinds of stunt flying with Compton going from one wing to the other and crawling underneath the plane onto the wheels while the plane was in flight. Both of these young fiers are dependable and have much confidence in their plane,

com mander for the winter, upon to winter at some other place than the island the natives seemed very much surprised.
 Among the white people that have the interest of the Eskimos at heart. it is felt that it is taking a very unfair advantage of the Eskimos. to make certain promises. load them. family and all belongings on boat with only a few hours warning and carry them away to an island where conditions are so chaotic, and life so precarious.
 Several EskimOs from Wales were on board the Donaldson but these were not to be left on the is
 land during the coming year, Char
 les Wells the well known old timer from Nome was induced to make

 The Soviet government has issued a warning to Noice that they will , contiscate all his furs unless he ob- tains a permit from that govern , ment and before going to Wrangell
 he must go to Petropavlosk for a
 proper clearance.
 Capt. Louis Hansen returned to Nome this week and it is stated. his
 reason for resigning his position as Captain of the Donaldson was that , when he was employed he was g1v-
