water and this may be more econ
omically secured from the well,
Where conditions are as variable
as they are in Montana it is to
be expected that the extreme types
of corr which may be grown will
also vary. One must be governed
by local practice and the results of
local experience and local variety
tests. Silver King is about the lat
est variety grown successfully in
the state and is grown largely in
Rosebud and Custer counties.
Paynes White Dent is quite similar
in behavior. Minnesota Is is pop
ular variety which is represented
by various strains both early and
late. While not as late as Silver
King it is not recommended except
in the southeastern portion of the
state and a number of other favor
able localities scattered over Mon
tana. These varieties are late and
usually require from 10 to 100
days for maturity.
Late flints are noted for their
leafiness, fineness of stalks and
comparatively high yields of fod-
der. Varieties such as Mercer, Tri-
umph and Longfellow are popular
where corn is harvested by machin-
cry and threshed with an ordinary
grain separator. They are quite
late and mature only where Min
nesota Is is safe.
For the greater part of Montana,
corn varieties known as the semi
dents are the most dependable pro-
ducers of roughage. Northwest
ern Dent and Minnesota % are in
the lead. Local trials will deter
mine the choice. These varieties
are reasonably early and usually
mature in less than 100 days.
Whatever varieties are given it is
best to use home grown acclimated
seed. Seed corn does not run out"
if properly selected. Three worth
while suggestions regarding seed
corn are: CD secure corn of well
selected adapted varieties; (2)
make sure that the seed is strong
and vigorous; (3) grade seed corn
to insure even planting.
No matter how rich the soil, how
excellent the seed bed or how thor
.ugh the cultivation, if the seed is
poor or mediocre, poor or mediocre
results will follow.

GRAIN L0ADINCS
LESS THAN 1923

Although total railroad car load
ings were lighter the first two
months of this year than the same
period in 1923, several lines of bust
ness and industry i'll Montana have
shown improvement. In the two
months mentioned one more car of
automobiles was shipped into the
state this year, in this period, than
last year, and the movement of mules
and horses, cattle, hogs, flour and
mill stuffs, fruit and vegetables and
mining products was aDprcciably hea-
vier in 1924 for January and Feb
ruary than for the same two months
in 1923.
Figures taken from the reports of
railroad companies to the Montana
railroad commission also seem to in
dictate that the process of diversity
ing Montana's agriculture also is
making headway-to date without
governmental or outside assistance.

tive figures for the months of Feb
ruary wheat shipments this year de-

creased from 80 cars to AZ cars; po-
tatoes increased from 81 to 43 cars;
fruit and vegetables increased from
nine to 16 cars and smaller increases
were registered in the miscellaneous
crops.
In the mining industry the follow
ing changes were noted in comparing
February car loadings in 1924 with
the same month in 1928: copper in
creased from 416 to 523; concen-
increased from GA to 1876:
Stag and tailings decreased from 1859
to 257; ore shipments increased from
4456 to 1899.
Fourteen more cars of crushed
rock were shipped in the state this
year, the total being Sc; crude oil
shipments increased from 708 to
1914, and refined oil from $50 to 1876.
Shipment of logs increased from

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, ac-
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, horticulture
ist 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
a trip into the southern states in an
effort to ascertain the market de-
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
respect. In thr~iftiness 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 COMPARE
sons of production will not be made
until that time. Last year Mon-I
tana's potatoes averaged 1872 bush
els per acre as compared to 166 bu-
shells from the nearest competitor.
There is a 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
have a decided opportunity of
building UP a market for their pro-
1uct.

FLAX ACREAGE TO
BE INCREASED

"HE Montana flax acreage in 1924
will be limited only to the
Il amount of seed available, and
farmers are advised by County Agent
f. E. McSpadden to locate their seed
supply as early as possible. Cards
have been sent to all farmers in Cas-
cade county, asking for information.
Mr.. MacSpadden states that there
will be a large increase in flax acre
age in Montana this year, and in
structions in handling the crop will
be furnished by his office, also the
Montana agricultural experiment sta
ton at BoZeman.
Montana ranks fourth among
american flax producing states" said
Mr.. MacSpadden, and will mode than
double her acreage this year because
the crop returned good yields in 1928
and brought a fairly high price, Mon
tana keeps among the leaders in flax
production because she has much new
land where flax is an ideal crop and
because the crop does well on old
land that is in proper condition"
According to government statistics
the United States uses four times as
much flax as is produced in normal
years. AS a protection to the Ameri-
can grower, there is a tariff of 40
cents per bushel on imported flax.
Most of the imported flax comes from
the Argentie, where there is now a
big crop moving. The March price in
Buenos Aires, Argentine, was $3.50;
the March Is price in Dulth, Mimi,
was $3.50. 1t is estimated that the
United States flax acreage will be in
creased by SO per cent this year, but
it is believed that with this increase
there will be enough flax produced to
meet American demands. There are
many predictions that the flax price,
will remain fairly high this year.
Instruction to farmers sent out by
the county agent contain the informa-
ton that flax is not a good weed
fighter. Land where flax is to be
seeded should be free from weeds and !
must have a firm seed bed. New
breaking is the ideal land for flax,
but fallowed land or corr land fur
nish a good seed bed. Land should
be gone over with a duck foot or sim
ilar implement early in the season to
start the weed growth. Just before
seeding all weeds should be killed by
cultivation and it is impor-
tant that the seed bed should not be
too deeply and made too loose.
It is a wise plan to treat seed before
planting.
Much of the trouble experienced
With flax has come through lack of
knowledge of the crop. It requires
treatment and care and coun-
y agents will furnish information
bout all steps in the handling if the
rop, and farmers may write to the
3ozeman experiment station for cir
ulars on planting and harvesting.

HARDIN YOUTH is
FIRST IN POULTRY

III LLO4NAN NOQilJ NAuAh1o bAO
* 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, 1928, 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 az ranking first in produc-
ton, 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, 1923.
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 n 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
o~nstration 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 prof.
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-
tions made to him by the department
leaders. One great factor for success
is a 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, it 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
place. His records for the {
present year are being watched care i
fully and it is not anticipated that he ,
will experience any difficulty in max ;
first place in the state for 1924. {
