Weekly Market Letter

We do not hesitate to say that South
st. Paul is without a doubt the highest
market on the Western Circuit at the pre-
sent time for oil classes of cattle. Our
runs are not near as heavy as they should
be aud the demand for western cattle from
the South st. Paul market seems to be
getting broader each day. There we're
any amount OF buyers here yesterday and
our market In spite OF lower reports from
other markets held about steady. The
run on the seven western markets was
the heaviest Of the season and buyers
seemed to have considerable success,
cheapening costs on all markets except
South st. Paul. Our run yesterday was
mostly from the Dakotas and Canada,
there being not more than so loads Of Mon
tanas on the trade.
KILLING CATTLE-As stated above
our market Is holding up exceptionally
well. The range on good western killers
was mostly from $3.50 to 1925 although
some real choice ones would bring close
to $500. We have had only very few dry
fed In the trade, but today we sold load
of choice corn fed yearlings for $10.50 a
cwt. This is the top on that class for
the season. The best sale on grass cattle
for the week to date was for around 60
head that averaged n little better than 100
lbs, from Montana which brought 500
The between and common kinds Of
grasses brought from $500 to $780, ac-
cordng TO the amount of flesh they car
ried, with light weight and common horned
cattle down to $3.50. Calves have been
working lower the top today being $500.
STOCKERs AND FEEDERs-The trade
IN this division started out very slow on
Monday, but there were a considerable
number OF onlookers, and while they found
our prices very high, things started to
move around mid day and we would call
the trade steady, although there was a
tendency to cheaper the cost on the plain
err offerings The top on western 1O00-lb.

TO GET DIPLOMAS.

4V1 tions who are are entitled TO a
place on the coveted honor list OF
the National Dairy Association, &C
cording to a recent announcement
by ]. o. Tretsven, dairy specialist
for the Montana Extension Service.
Montana's honor men are equally d.
vided between the Flathead and the
Bitter Root Cow Testing associ-
ations. On the list are j. w. Ran
dies of StevensvilIe; X. II. Daniels
of Corvallis; David Lea & Son of
StevensviIle; Archie McKillop of
Hamilton; d. C. Gray of Hamilton;
and Ford & HOLSTER OF the Bitter
Root association; and o. X. Iyerson,
Ed. Kelly, and +. X .Grosswiller of
KalispeIl Bertha Houser of Creston,
and w. Scott and Joe Monegan of
Whitefish, of the Flathead associ-
alton.
Because of the high performance
of their herds, their owners are in
vited to attend the National Dairy
show to be held at Milwaukee Sep
TENDER 81 to October 4, there to be
publicly honored with the leading
dairymen of other states by officials
of the National Dairy association.
Each herd owner will be presented
with a diploma of merit.
The rules under which the awards
are made require that the dairy
man must belong to a COW testing
association, butter fat production for
each herd must average better than
800 pounds for the year, and the
testing must have continued without
for period Of IL
months ending July 1, 1924.
According TO Mr. Tretsven, a
number of other Montana dairymen
would be entitled to the honor but
do not belong to COW testing as
sociations. Other dairymen belong
to associations which have not been
operating the required length of
time and therefore do not come I'M
der the rules of the National Dairy
Association.

STORY OF BITTER
ROOT is TOLD BY
DIVERSIFIED FARMS
Ty HE time has come for the people
or the Bitter Root valley to

T HE time has come for the people
or the Bitter Root valley to
talk of many things--Septem-
Der strawberries on the vine and
vegetable kings. Thus might the
story of the new and prosperous day
for the Bitter Root valley be sum
married..
From approximately 100 acres, the
strawberry crop to date for the terri
tory between Hamilton and Darby
has reached 1900 crates. For the
first time In history. Montana berries
have been marketed outside the
state and have brought excellent re-
turns. Chicago folks have eaten
two carloads of them and called them
good. They liked the sample and
called for more, but more meant
CARROTS and the acreage as yet is
too small for such demand. Next
year according to plans now being
made, the strawberry fields will be
treble those of this year. The record
crop for the fall picking was that OF
George Regis. who has picked an
average of ESQ crates per acre from
his six-acre patch during the past
month.
Regis, who lives in the Charles
district, is also O successful vegeta-
BILE grower and has produced excep-
tionally fine onions and tomatoes.
Onions are particularly well grown
In the Bitter Root valley, and mature
early. The Yellow Danvers variety
is perhaps the most successfully
grown. Green tomatoes find just as
ready market as the ripe ones and
bring good price.
Head lettuce In commercial guam
titles is an experiment and is being
tried out on farms in the Corvallis
community as we'll as at Grantsdale
with very good results, coming into
the markets at a time when the sea-
son is practically closed from other
parts of the country. The quality of
this product ranks high. along in
the same class as that from Califor-
MIA. according to dealers.
Cabbage has always been a stand
ard vegetable throughout the valley,
and at Stevensville. in the north
end of the valley, large fields of it
have been raised this summer for
the sauer kraut industry which will
be carried on from that point this
winter
A few years ago, dream of one
big orchard extending from one end
of the valley to the other drew the
attention of many people to the APP
pie industry. Apples are an ideal
crop. but they have not proved to be
infallible, therefore the people have
learned the lesson of diversified
farming as means of all-around
living. A few cows to keep the
cream check coming, a strawberry
patch and truck garden combine with
the apple trees splendidly to keep
the provcrbial wolf in the woods
where he belongs. The farmer who
has all of these things on a small
ranch can keep out of the woods"
easily enough.
