Takes Favorable Action On
Securing Pea Cannery Herr

the really worth while peas grow.
Since the advent of Colorado
peas" Mr.. Ogilvy asserts, lit is
about impossible to market the
and eastern factories have abandon
ed the battle and are devoting them
selves to other products"
The eastern regions, according to
Mr.. Ogilvy. produce too much starch
and not enough sugar. The inter
mountain soils are sweet and alki-
line, while the greater part OF the
eastern country is in need of ex-
pensive lining before bacteria that
must accompany legumes can do
their part.
Peas, like alfalfa, demand early
irrigation, hence are especially
adapted to this locality where the
reservoir water must be conserved
for the potato crop. The pea in
dustry also means an early cash crop
which comes in at a time of the year
when there is little else to turn in
to cash assets on the farm. In re-
gard to the canning factory Lord
Ogilvy states,
The modern pea canning factory
works larger territory than form
erly for the viners that pod the peas
are its outposts and the factory
proper merely handles the shelled
peas brought in by truck, within two
hours by being popped from the pod
This gives a cannery radius of ten
to fifteen miles and distribution
Of the crop that enables farmers to
harvest peas at the best moment for
the highest quality. Irrigationists
will always have a hard time keep
ing on top of their work in summer.

The New Industries Committee of
the Chamber of Commerce met last
Friday evening and report fav-
orable consideration of the PROPOSE
tion of the Colorado Wyoming Can
ming Company to locate factory in
Monte Vista.
Mr.. j. c. Bushinger who is chair
man of the committee said that the
president of that company had re-
sponded readily to their request for
a complete statement of their pro-
position in writing and copies of
their notes and CONTRACTS with the
farmers for the growing of green
vegetables. While this committee
have not completed their investiga-
tion at present they report they are
in position to make a favorable
comment on the plans. That a cam
ming factory in operation and pay
ing our growers a reasonable and
fixed price for their products is one
OF the best business problems the
people OF the Monte Vista district
can take up. is the undivided opinion
of the committee.
Following further Investigations
the committee will make a complete
report on the Wyoming
Company's proposition before the
Commercial Club body.
In connection with Monte Nista's S
interest in canning factory the
comments of Lord Ogilvy on the
subject are indeed interesting.
Mr.. Ogilvy. the well known agri-
cultural authority whose special
articles appear in the Denver Post

Point Show To
Get Reduced Rates

The Great Northern railway will
give reduced rates to all people
of northern Montana who desire to-
take in the district corn and seed
show that will be held at Wolf
Point, November IL, IS and IA,
according to word received from
l.. B. Woods, assistant traffic man.
ager
This will give an opportunity for
the farmers and interested business
men who live in the northern Mon
tana territory to take in the show at
reduced cost and it is believed that
this rate reduction will be an added
for many more people to
attend the corn show in addition to
the fact that the train service from
Wolf Point both east and west can
not be beat for the one day visitors.
From all indications, the way the
program is shaping, educational ex-
hibits lining up and the numbers of
exhibits of corn, small seed and pota-
toes that will be at the show, it will
give the people of this part of the
state the opportunity to see an exhib-
it equal to or better in quality than
those of the larger fairs of the state.

Billings Polytechnic
Winter Term to Open
ON November Tenth

In order to meet the demands
of young men and young women
who cannot enter school regularly
at the opening of the term and who
must leave before the close of
school in the spring, the Billings
Polytechnic institute is opening a
winter term, beginning November
10th, to run for eighteen weeks.
1t is offering classes in all CONNER
cial subjects, including shorthand,
typewriting, bookkeeping, civil pen
manship and spelling. In grade sub
jects it is offering history, grammar,
and arithmetic. Special courses are
offered in practical electricity, ell
ectricity for the car; radio, auto
mechanics, farm Carpentry; and ag-
r%iculture.
Vocal and instrumental music al
so are included in the curriculum.
The entrance requirements will be
based upon the ability of the student
to do the work for which he enrolls.
The cost has been set at a very low
figure, and will not exceed for the
eighteen weeks, for board, room and
tuition, not including the fees, $165.
Age is no barrier to enrolment at
the Billings Polytechnic Institute.
Many + already taking the courses
who failed to receive the advantage
of schooling when in their teens.
The faculty consists of people who
are in sympathy with those who have
been denied the early opportunity
for education They are well prepar-
ed, holding college degrees, and many
of them with long years of exper-
iannn in Tho tnanhin nrnfnscinn

SEVEN REASONS WHY BRONZE
GRASS is GOOD FORAGE CROP

Bronze grass is one of the best pas
ture possibilities, according to the
findings of the Montana State College
Extension Service. A summary OF
the good points of this grass states
that:
1. 1t is the most hardy grass we
have.
2. It is extremely drouth resist
ent and with proper care and culture
will last a long time.
8. 1t withstands drouth, extreme
temperature, and hot winds. During
drouth and hot winds bronze grass
merely "sits down and waits" Where
such crops as wheat would be blight
ed, bronze grass holds its own I'M
til rain comes, and then it advances
again.
4. 1t will crowd out most weeds.
5. 1t withstands tramping by pas
tured stock.
6. A thin stand will gradually
thicken up.
Z. Persistence is it's chief virtue;
its chief disadvantage is its slowness
in getting started and difficulty in
getting a good stand.

Judith Basin Farmer
A Hulless
Variety of Oats That
Puzzles State Experts

When Edward Thomas of Lew
istoVn was out rustIing grain and
other products to exhibit at the
State fair, last year, he ran across
some hulless oats.
There was just a little of the grain
and no n knew exactly how it
came to be growing here or where
it came from. Mr.. Thomas gave the
oats, a small handful, to Mr.. Lyman
Royce. Early last July Mr.. Royce
gave the grain to George Davis, who
planted it out at his place on July
8, it being so late that he had little
hope of its making anything.
However, the grain came along in
splendid shape, matured and from
the little handful of seed Mr.. Davis
got a half a bucketful of the grain.
1t looks very fine indeed, and Mr..
Davis estimates that it will produce
100 bushels to the acre. He is going
to use what he raised this year for
planting in the spring and will have
quite a lot of seed from that. One
stool was brought in by Mr.. Davis
and given to Mr.. Royce, who puz-
zled a lot of agricultural experts
it.

SHIP HEREFORD BULL TO
FROM MONTANA

The Taylor ranch of Stanford re
centlys shipped by express, a register
ed double standard Polled Hereford
bull calf, destined for Picking, China,
via Portland, Ore.
This calf will be 6 months of age
Oct. II, 1924, and was selected from
the oldest and largest herd of regis
tered Polled Hereford cattle in Mon
tana, by B. c. Cannon, secretary of
theAmerican Polled Hereford Breed
ers' association of Des Moines, Iowa,
On the order of Professor Eubank.
the new American head of the animal
husbandry department of the Picking
university.
He has been given the name of
Polled Montana. An older calf was
desired on account of the long trip,
but nothing older in a Polled Here
for, with quality and breeding, al
available for delivery in Portland on
such short notice, as the ship on
which the calf sailed left there Oct.
IA.
This is the first Polled Hereford to
go to China, says Mr.. Cannon, and
one of the few Herefords that have
ever been shipped there, which speaks
well for the quality and hardness of
Montana cattle.
The Taylor ranch of Stanford com
prises several thousand acres of hay
and pasture land, and the reputation
of this ranch for high grade Polled
Hereford stock has been established
for many years. The ranch is
managed by Charles r. Taylor, son
of R. D. Taylor of Great Falls.

Montana To Have Am
Exhibit at Coast HAY
Livestock Show

Montana viii be represented at
the Pacific Northwest Hay and
Grain show to be held at Port
land, November i to 8, according
to /. j. Jensen of the Agronomy
department at Montana State Col
lege, who win have charge of the
exhibit from this state.
Fred Bennion, former assistant
county agent leader for Montana and
former athletic coach at Montana
State College, now county agent of
Umatila county, Oregon, started the
coast hay and grain show in 1921.
Since then it has been combined with
the manufacturers and land pro-
ducts show and the livestock show,
forming one of the largest and best
exhibitions in the country.
Heretofore, Montana's entries,
while not very extensive, have show
ed up exceedingly we'll. With the
prospects of an increased interest
in the show and more exhibits this
year, Mr.. Jensen expects some good
for Montana.

Turkey Crop is Good.

Thousands of turkeys are being
raised this year in Garfield county,
in the vicinity of Big Dry, Lodge
pole, Squaw and Sage Hen creeks, as
well a salong the Musselshell river.
Growers state that they are in need
of expert pickers to aid them in pre-
pairing the birds for market. Trucks
have been chartered to transport the
shipments to railroad points, as many
of the ranches upon which these
turkeys are being raised are as dis
tant as from so to 20 miles from any
rail line. One owner of a flock of
a thousand is preparing to drive his
turkeys to the railroad station, 40
miles distant, where he expects to
ship them.

BANKER THRESHE s
BUSHELS WHEAT

Some enormous wheat crops
have been threshed in the Poplar
district this fall. j. w. Schnitz-
Ter, a banker and wheat farmer,
near the town of Froid, threshed
10000 bushels of wheat Will
liam Rice, a south side farmer will
have between 10000 and 1900
bushels. w. @. Price, another of
the south side farmers has thresh-
ed 1900 bushels. George New
berry of the north side will total
5000 bushels of wheat and 1000
bushels of flax. 1t is estimated
that 100000 bushels of wheat and
flax will be marketed in Poplar
this fall, One-tenth of that amount
having already been run through
the Poplar elevators, which are
operating day and night to handle
the crop.

IN SHEEP
GROWS ON FARMS
IN ROOSEVELT AREA

A GREAT deal of interest has
IN been manifest by a large num-
Der of the farmers of Roosevelt
county in securing small bands of
sheep and getting a start along that
line of agricultural activity. Fred
Rather, cashier of the First National
there have been more enquiries re-
latiye to sheep raising at his bank
in recent months than for the last
10 years, and is is believed that the
farmers as a whole are beginning to
realize the vast amount of money
they are losing each year by not al
lowing a few head of sheep to clean
up the waste forage on their farms.
Under farming conditions in that
county, one acre of land producing
sweet clover or alfalfa will easily
take care of five head of sheep. At
this ratio, on a 100-acre basis, on
a five-year term, considering all fac
tors, it is not hard to determine that
there is as much profit and less la
Dor in utilizing land for sheep pas
ture as there is in blowing it for a
wheat crop.

From Montana State College.

TITO provide the proper conditions
so that the greatest forces OF
nature can operate effectively
for the production of useful crops
this, in brief, is all there is to sue
cessful farming" says A. l.. Nc Ma
hon, speaking of the farmers short
course which will open at the Mon
tana State College, January 5, 1925.
Glow to provide these conditions,
how to apply the laws of science,
how to overcome difficulties or make
their effect less noticeable, are the
things with which the Farmers
Short Course deals,'' continues Mr..
Mcmahon.
This winter the short course at
Montana State College, Bozeman, OPP
ems January 5, 1925, and continues
for twelve weeks. The plan of con-
Quoting the work in unit courses, as
was started last year, will be contin-
ued. Under this plan a farmer or
farm boy can take just the particular
line of work in which he is interested,
and leave out that which he does not
particularly want. The courses in
clude the study of crops, d%iarying,
livestock production, horticulture,
poultry, farm engineering, farm
management, bee keeping and so on.
There is very good reason says
Mr.. Mcmahon, "why farmers short
courses at colleges are becoming
more and more popular among prac-
teal farmers, and the reason is
simply that these courses provide a
training which is a very important
factor in successful farming. Grad
yates of former short courses at the
Montana State College, have gone
back to their farms to find that the
short time spent in the intensive
study of the farm problems in which
they were interested, has meant big
ger returns and a better farm life.
Farmers realize today, more than
ever, that farming is a highly COM
petitive business and that the I'M
trained man is handicapped in the
race. Those who are eliminated by
the law of the survival of the f~ittest,
are very frequently the unframed
and unskilled. The man who stays.
through good times and bad, the
who is usually found at the top
of the list of successful farmers,
is the man who has taken advantage
his opportunities, who has trained
himself for his job.
