Advantage of Information
and Experience


homesteads give striking evidence OF
the inability of many settlers to make
good. This process may eventually
result in getting only the best per-
manent settlers on the land and in
selecting and occupying only the
more productive land. Nevertheless,
it is wasteful and expensive prac-
tice and is harsh experience for the
settlers who fail. Without doubt, q
large percentage of these failures
might have been avoided if the land
had been classified and if the pros
pective settler had waited until he
had accumulated the necessary capt.
tai or credit. and had learned some
thing of working the land before he
invested his all in an untried venture.
A prospective settler, with or with
out experience in farming, whether
he has large or small amount of ca
pital, will save both time and money
for himself and guard himself against
loss through mistakes by taking am
pie time to investigate the country
and the agricultural conditions of the
region before he acquires farm in
the undeveloped lands of the United
States.

VARIETY TESTS OF
CORN AIDS GROWER

For the purpose of gathering in
formation that will help in determin
ing just what types of corn are bes
suited to local conditions, numbe
of corn variety tests were conducted
during the year 1923 by farmers co
operating with w. P. Stapleton
Yellowstone county agent, and re
| farm of G. G. Melcher of Broadyiew
indicate some points that appear as
| fundamental in this connection.
On Mr.. Melcher's farm there were
grown six varieties of corn more OIL
less common in the county, each var
iety being grown side by side, plant
led on the same date, and on soil that
was given similar treatment In
Guided in the list was Minnesota 10,
Northwestern dent, Minnesota %,
Payne's white dent, and Mitchell's
white dent, together with a strain of
white dent that has been grown by
Mr.. Melcher on his farm for num-
Der of years. On September 10
enough of each variety was harvest
ed to give a comparison on the yield
of corn and slower, with results in
Dictated as follows: order in yield of
dry corn: Northwestern dent, Mel
cher's white dent, Payne's white
dent, Mitchell's white dent, Mime
sofa 10, and Minnesota %; order in
yield of dry slower: Mitchell's white
dent, Northwestern dent, Minnesota
10, Payne's white dent, Melcher's
white dent, Minnesota %.
The number of days required to
reach maturity the order was as fol-
lows: Minnesota %, Melcher's white
dent, Northwestern dent, Mitchell's
white, dent, Payne's white dent, and
Is. Northwestern dent
corn yielded 1877 bushels of corn,
1926 pounds of slower, and required
ITO days to nature; Minnesota Is,
30.5 bushels of corn, $500 pounds of
slower, and 126 days to mature; Min
nesota %, 30.4 bushels of corn, / 1855
pounds of slower, and LOG days to
Payne's white dent, 1858 bu-
shells of corn, 1858 pounds of stover,
and 11S days to mature; Mitchell's
white dent yielded 1928 bushels of
corn, 1892 pounds of slower, and 116
lays to mature; Melcher's white dent
369 bushels of corn, 1870 pounds |
If slower and 108 days to mature.
While the results of this test COM
pare in a general way with the obser-
yations of farmers throughout the
county it must be remembered that |
me years results do not always give
figures that can be depended uponI
,ver period of years and for this
'eason such tests as the one mem
toned must be conducted for a num-
,er of years in order to be of true
echnical value. A number of such
ests will be conducted in cooperation

Beayerhead Cattle Moving

Beaverhead beef is moving, espe-
cially fat cows. Ten cars went out
in one day from Armstead. Those
making up the shipment were George
Clemow, Dan Pendergast, Holman

Tom Pendergast shipped about
500 fat COWS from Divide to Ogden,
John Peterson of Horse Prairie, has
sold a like number of COWS to San
Francisco parties and will ship. The
prices are said to be reasonably sat-
isfactory. Many of the fat steers
have been contracted for and some
will begin to move the last of the

Montana S
Seed Spuds
Lead World

~ Fed POTATOES from Montana
last year were recognized as the
~ best to be found in the United
States as the result of experiment
conducted by the University of Louis
lana. F. M. Harrington, horticultur-
list for the Montana experiment sta
ton, was sent last year to Louisiana
to propagate Montana seed potatoes
with the result that certified seed
from this state surpassed that from
any other state in the union in points
of bushel production per acre.
A remarkable achievement such as
this is indicative of bright future
for this state and opens one more
avenue for Montana to travel on it's
way to agricultural prosperity. This
year the Montana Development asso-
citation will finance Mr.. Harrington
to again go to Louisiana and it is ex-
pected that the results of his trip
will again be most satisfactory.
1t will not be long, experts predict,
until this state is recognized by po-
tato growers throughout the nation
as the home of the finest seed pota-
toes. The test seeds last season were
left in the ground but three months.
They were planted March 5 and dug
June 1, 1928.
Much interest is being shown in
this state in the growing of certified
seed. Pure potato seed is certain to
command a higher price than the
ordinary and the Montana grower
must give more attention to disease,
the health of his plants and the pur-
ity of the stock.
Careful account should be kept of |
these items for now that a record of
pure seed potatoes of the highest |
class is established, the sale of inn
pure or imperfect seed would cause
lrreparable and permanent injury to
the industry. The tests have been
covering series of years and will be
continued for several years to come.
Thus far Montana has surpassed all |.
The other states in the growing of L
seed potatoes and there are few
doubts expressed but that it will hold
he same standing when the expert
nents have been concluded
Last year Montana seed produced
1928 bushels per acre while that of
is nearest competitor, Wisconsin,
Produced 1865 bushels.

An estimate of an arsenic output
of $4,000 tons for 1924 of which
5000 will be produced in this coun-
try is the figure given in the current
issue of the Drug Reporter" receiV-
ed in Butte. The world output of
arsenic in 1923 was 23,455 tons of
which the United States furnished
1880 tons.
pany is the largest domestic arsenic
producer, the A. S. and r. second,
with the Jardine company of Park
county third. Mexico, Germany and
Japan furnish the bulk of the import.

FEEDERS AFFECT
PRICE OF LAMBS
(From Montana State College)
BY James L. Poole

"HE LAMB MARKET is decidedly
affected by the buying activitie;
= of feeders. This was especially
noticeable under conditions existing
in 1928 when feeders either made ex.
tensive contracts for straight bands
of lambs on the breeding grounds
west of the Missouri river, or entered
into competition at the central mar
kets. When competition becomes as
keen as this, feeders are willing to
paw as much for thin lambs as killers
are paying for fat stock. Thus it hap
pens that fleshy lambs which would
ordinarily go to the shambles are
bought up at good price and div
erted to the feed lets.
Lambs are divided into two groups
when they reach the market, one
group marked natives and the other
westerns. The former term is ap-
piled to farm grown lambs and the
latter to western range or fenced pas
ture area stock. Natives are usually
marketed off grass and reach the
market from the time springers are
available to late in the fall, when
they practically disappear. Western
lambs are marketed all the year
round, either direct from grass or by
way of the feed lot.
Sheep and lambs yield little by
products of value except wool and
Stats, or pelts if they go together.
When wool is low or unsaleable, as
was the case two years ago, the
greater part of the live stock and pro-
cessing expense must be charged
against the meat, whereas under
present conditions this burden is dis
tributed over meat and pelt.
Nondescript and inferior lambs are
one cause of market instability and
by their elimination from supply the
whole trade would be materially
benefited Even a runty western
lamb is useful for feeding purposes,
but bucky or otherwise undesirable !
native can only be reduced to meat |
and that product sold for what it will |
bring. Much of the summer price &C.
centricity is directly attributable to |
the presence of such lambs in excess
sive quantities.
When prices are high as'at present |
the market is more susceptible to !
supply and demand influences than
otherwise, especially when beef and |
pork are selling substantially below
lamb. A prolific cause of price dis
turbance is shipping lambs to mar
kets that have meager slaughter IA
cilities, whence they must be sent to
slaughter points.
