Too Many. But Who Will Quit?

Roger Babson thinks that two
thirds of the retailers Of the country
would be better off in trade or even
day labor. The associated advertis-
ing clubs of the world were told this /:
There are 100000 retailers in
the United States today, and 100000
Of them are doing a profitable bust
ness and 100000 more are doing a
fair business, but million Of these
retailers are barely struggling along.
A large portion operate at a loss
Those who are not operating at loss
are merely getting day wages, and
small day wages at best"
Babson is right, but who is going
to quit? Men in every line will tell
you their line is over-crowded, but
each fellow wants the other to drop
out Economic necessity may force
a change, bur not Babson the writer
nor the reader.

HIGHLAND COUNTY
DAIRYINC SECTION
FAVORABLE COMMENT OF LAC
TEAL PROGRESS MADE BY
FEDERAL EXPERT.
Better Feed Possibilities Than in Sue
cessful Dairying Communities of
Wisconsin and Minnesota; Sure
Source of Wealth.

Chris. Johnson, representative of
the United States department of agri-
culture and noted national authority
on dairying, who visited Richland
county and attended several dairy
meetings not long ago, has made
some highly complimentary observa-
lions on the progress boing made by
the dairymen of this county.
Splendid Location
Mr.. Johnson was particularly
impressed with the splendid location
of Richland county for dairy sec
ton especially from the feed point
of view. He pointed out the fact
that a larger yield of feed can be pro-
duced per acre in this section than
in Minnesota or Wisconsin. He said
that the ability to produce the proper
kind of feed here for dairy cows far
more than offsets the cost of shipping
butter to market. He emphasized
the fact that butter can be shipped
from here to the same markets that
the Minnesota and Wisconsin dairy
men ship to at cost not to exceed
two cents more per pound of butter.
He quoted figures showing that .larg-
er amounts of feed can be produced
per acre and cheaper and at the same
time a better quality of feed for
dairy COWS, here in Montana, than in
which greatly offsets the
distance from market.
Dairy Sections Prosperous
To show that dairy sections are
prosperous communities, he quoted |
figures on bank deposits in many |
in the dairy sections of
showing that they were |
larger there than anywhere else and |
hat even during the past few years
,hese deposits had increased instead /
Of decreasing as in other non-dairy |
sections.
Mr.. Johnson stated that the posi-
oilities here for dairying are unlim
ted and that the thing necessary is
or the dairy farmers to get together
n the marketing of their butterfat
Ind to produce nothing except the
highest quality of butterfat. He
quoted figures showing that the Min
lesota dairymen average about 10
ents more per pound for butterfat
han the Montana farmer and that
his spread is largely due to the fact

ing that if they are all united on one
definite policy and aim, instead of
working individually at cross-pur-
poses, the state department of agri-
culture is gathering a fund of detailed
information from other states and
anada; the nature of the organiza-
tions through which this work is
carried on; the relationship of the
state to the private land company and
how an to what extent they cooper
ate; how prospective settlers are
found and the best mediums for get
ting in contact with them; the help
extended them; in determining upon
new locations; the terms of payment
and the policies which experience has
demonstrated are best calculated to
make the new settler contented cit
iZen. This information will be sup
plemented by other data which the
United States department of agricul-
ture is just acquiring through per-
sonal studies of experts in regions
that have been doing work along
these lines. We have kindly been
promised the use of the advance
sheets in time for the meeting.
May Determine Policy
II do not consider it is within the
province of this department to at
tempt to determine alone what the
land selling and colonization policy
should be in Montana. All the infor-
nation and data bearing upon the
subject that can be obtained are now
being gathered by the department,
however, to be laid before the repre-
'entatives of the organizations most
7itally concerned, that they may de-
ermine what the policy should be.
Recognized authorities on land
ettlement work will address the
meeting, including colonization ex-
'erts of Canadian railways, officials

mended that butterfat always be mar
