LOUISIANA LIKES
MONTANA POTATO

~ ECAUSE of the good showing
* Montana seed potatoes have
- made in the southern states.
growers from Louisiana and other
Gulf states are planning to make an
inspection trip into the seed potato
growing sections of Montana, some
time during the coming summer, &C
cording to F. M. Harrington, horti-
culturist at Montana State college.
Potato growers, county agricultural
agents, members of the horticultural
staff of Louisiana university, includ-
ing G. L. Tiebout, horticulturist who
has taken an active part in securing
northern seed for the growers of his
state, railroad representatives and
others are expected to make the trip.
DR.. William Stuart, foremost potato
authority in the country, horticultur-
list and potato specialist of the United
States department of agriculture, is
also planning on coming to Montana
because of his observations of Mon
tana seed stock in Louisiana.
Mr.. Harrington on his return from
trip into the southern states in an
effort to ascertain the market de-
mands and to arouse interest in the
Montana product, reports that the
test now being made in Louisiana, in
which Montana potatoes are compel
ing with potatoes from other states,
show the potatoes from this state to
be comparatively free from disease,
many plots scoring 100 per cent in
this respect. In thriftiness and gen.
eral appearance, Montana potatoes
were not excelled by any other state.
The potatoes on test will mature
about the first of June and eompari-
sons of production will not be made
until that time. Last year Mon
tana's potatoes averaged 1872 bush
els per acre as compared to 166 bu-
shells from the nearest competitor.
There is decided interest in
northern seed stock all through the
southern states, says Mr.. Harrington,
and With the showing that Montana
potatoes are making, growers of this
state have decided opportunity of
building UP a market for their pro-
duct.

x distinction of being the home OF
- the champion poultryman in the
state, James Franklin, the 11-year-
old son of Ralph B. Franklin of Har-
din, who in competition with all en-
tries in the poultry demonstration
farm project for the year ended Oc-
tober 81, 1923, made the highest
percentage of production made in the
state.
In entering this contest Master
James competed with grown-ups
who no doubt had much previous ex-
perience, and was entered into the
contest with two months of the year
gone. The demonstration, which is
under the supervision of the state
poultry specialist, reports young
Franklin as ranking first in produc-
tion, averaging 40 per cent. Third
place for net profit each net.
How He Started
James began his poultry work in
the spring of 1922 with eight pullets
as a member of the boys and girls
club of Big Horn county, with Miss
Martha L. Elder, club leader. His
first prize for poultry showing was
two baby chicks, awarded at the Big
Horn county poultry show during the
fall of 1922. His prize chicks from
the J. R. Scott poultry farm at Hell
ena were received in April, 1928.
During the 1923 season James enter
ed the county poultry show, winning
several prizes. At the Midland En-
pire fair three first prizes were
awarded to his exhibit with one sec
ond and one third prize.
Commencing the year 1924 he is
again distinguished as the only mem
Der of the boys and girls poultry
club entered. His flock has been
increased to about so hens. From
the prizes awarded at the various
shows, he is building a modern poul-
try house recommended by the state
poultry specialist, which is IA by Is
feet.
In addition to caring for his dem
onstration flock, James has assisted
his mother in the care of her flock
of 100 birds. He has also assisted
his father in caponizing. In this
young Franklin has become profit
cient. His services are requested by
many of the neighbors and he now
does this work without assistance
Miss Elder, county leader, as well
as the state poultry specialist, attri-
butte the success of young Franklin
to his implicit faith in the sugges-
lions made to him by the department
leaders. One great factor for success
is good production. James with his
40 per cent production perfectly IL
Illustrates this. When he was told
to feed half grain and half mash,
he did it. When he was told not to
let up on mash during the summer
he stuck right to it.
In addition to the prizes awarded
young Franklin at the fairs and poul-
try shows, he has been awarded sew
eral scholarships to any of the state
institutions for his excellent show
ing.
While he was only awarded sec
ond place in the state, 1t must be re-
membered that he was short two
months in the contest, which would
have given him the benefit of the
better prices during the winter and
would no doubt have placed him in
first place. His records for the
present year are being watched care
fully and it is not anticipated that he
will experience any difficulty in max
ing first place in the state for 1924.
