J. F. Zimmerman, who recently re- turned to Fairbanks from a stampede to the Upper Salcha country, where he staked a claim some distance below the Gorbrecht discovery, says the creek is staked for i've miles above discovery and three miles below it. The ground is frozen, and where the discovery was made the creek is about two claims wide.

HOG RAISING IN
FALLON COUNTY

Hog raising in Fallon county o.
which Baker is the county seat, took
a long step forward in 1928, accord
ing to ]. o. Hembre, county agent
who was in Miles City recently. With
the aid of the local banks, the club
boys of the county were enabled to
put about 1000 into pure-bred Dur
oc Jersey gifts in April. The county
agent supervised the buying of the
pigs as we'll as the distribution of
them to the boys and also negotiated
the loans from the banks. The boys
more than doubled their money dur
ing the season and besides there are
about 80 more purebred sows left in
the county besides the original num-
Der.
Lawrence Stevens one of the club
boys, figured out his receipts and ex-
penditures as follows and most of the
others did as we'll:
His total receipts amounted to-
1871, and total disbursements to $96.
leaving a total profit for the season
of $95. This young club member in
an itemized statement shows he paid
the following prices, cost of gilt and
freight, $37.75; value of feed, $40;
value of milk, $5O8; value of pas
lures, SIS; fee for breeding SOW, ST.
so; insurance, $1.40; hauling pigs to
the fair, So; fees for registering,
$2.75.
He itemized his receipts as fol-
lows: original SOW, $50; two young
sows, 1872; sold three pigs for $54;
one boar worth $40; two barrows,
at $24, and won $11 in prizes.
The keeping of accounts in the
work is a part of the obligation of
every club member, and it is pointed
out that the same policy could be
applied by all farmers to excellent
so that the waste could
be eliminated and loss could be turn
ed into profit.

GOOD WORK OF COLLEGE AIDS
CORN EXPANSION DIM MONTANA


| 1t is the duty of the extension
worker to demonstrate the applica.
ton of agricultural science to sol
management and building, such as
tillage demonstrations have done
to the control of plant diseases and
insect pests, to the introduction of
improved varieties of farm crops,
and to improvement in methods of
feeding, breeding and care of ami
mails. The economic management
of the farm as a whole to yield the
largest net returns, the study of
systems of marketing local farm
products, advice on the purchase of
farm supplies, comparatively or
otherwise, are broader phases of
his diversified work.
The following brief summary for
1923 indicates the diversity of the
extension work in Montana and the
number of demonstrations under
each phase of work with the num-
Der of people reached tells some
thing of the efficiency of the work.
In agronomy there were 1418 dem

'HOLSTEIN- FRIESIAN
BREEDER ORGANIZE

i IN the closing day of the 1872.
III Farmers Week at Montan;
State college a new statewide
organization came into being, the
Montana Holstein-Friesian associa
ton. In anticipation of the organi
cation of the Holstein breeders, w
E. Meyer, western representative Of
the -Friesian association OF
America was present and the Mon
tana Dairymen, in convention at the
time so arranged their program as
to give the entire closing day over
to the consideration of the Holstein
COW and the perfecting of the asso-
citation.
! Preliminary to the organization
work Mr.. Meyer told of the operation
and the purpose of the extension de-
partment of the American Holstein-
Friesian association and explained
how the work of advancing the breed
was carried on through the co-opera-
ton of state organizations.
In the organization meeting that
followed DR.. Joseph Piedalue, Boze-
man, was elected president; F. E.
Huddlestone of Billings, vice-presi-
dent; E. J. Haslerud of Montana
State college,. secretary-treasurer;
and c. H. Wight of White Sulphur
Springs, J. H. Hofstetter of Lewis
town, David Lea of Stevensville, and
Miss Louise Maier of Butte were
elected as additional members of the
board of directors.
The organization started with 20 |
charter members and as many more
enthusiastic Holstein breeders of the |
state firmly behind the organization
and ready to come in. The member
ship fee was placed at SIS, and the
only requirement for membership is
The use of purebred Holstein bull
n the dairy herd.
At meeting of the board of dir
,ctors it was brought out that large
lumber of Holsteins, both purebreds
ind grades, had been purchased out
ide of the state to supply the Mon
ana trade. In many cases the prices
we're considerably higher than the
anne class of stock could have been
fought for at home. 1t was explain
d that this was not due entirely to
he fact that breeders preferred out
ide stock but that the purchasers
yere not familiar with sources of |
upply within the state. The direc-
ors agreed that one of the greatest
ervices that the new organization
ould perform was that of keeping
uyers informed of the development
f Montana Holsteins, the records be-
lg made, the breeding represented
nd where the stock could be obtain
/. 1t was stated that many of those Ii
no purchased cattle outside of the II
ate found that it took considerable II
me to acclimate them and very II
ten high priced cows produced very II
tile the first year or two. II
1t was shown that there are APP
'oximately SO breeders of pure bred III
olsteins in Montana and that there
ere about 5000 purebred Holsteins.

A MONG the numerous, factors
| - that have contributed to the
rapid expansion of corn pro-
duction in Montana, probably none
have been more stimulating and
helped to hasten the remarkable in
crease in corn acreage the past five
years, than corn variety demon
STATIONS. Such field demonstra-
lions have advanced corn develop
ment in Montana 10 to IS years,
for it has been largely through
such work conducted by farmers
of Montana in cooperation with
the State Extension Service that
adapted varieties have been estab-
lished, which means so much in
corn production under the Varied
climatic and soil conditions found
in Montana. With the work start
ing in 1910 and with steady in
crease in the number of field dem
onstrations each year since then, a
steady progress has been made in
the selection of dependable varie-
ties, and corresponding expan-
sion of the corn area within the
state.
During the past year III field
demonstrations, covering variety
tests, seed selection. and other
phases of corn improvement work
have been conducted under the SUI
perviSion of extension agents. In
other lines of field work conducted
by the extension service, similar
to greater or less de-
gree, has been accomplished as rec
ords show a total of 1,418 agron-
omy demonstrations, 321 live stock
including dairy and beef cattle), I
,67 poultry, 236 crop protection, {

Management.
Records covering a six year pc
iod of extension work show a 9
marked increase in the number of :
demonstrations conducted each
ear and the number of farm peo-
lie attending meetings held in con-
JUNCTION with these demonstra-
ions. The number of demonstra-
ions held from 1918 to 1928 have
lore than doubled, while meetings
nd attendance have trebled as the
blowing figures indicate:
Number of demonstrations for
ne six years since 1918: 1902,
ZIP, 2,170, ia, 3,276 and 3,648.
lumber of meetings held in con-
ection with these demonstrations
Or the six year period: 2o2, 81,
So, 454, 1923 and 1142. The total
tendance at these meetings dur
lg this time increased yearly as
blows: 1901, 1888, 1888, H.
Il, 1900 and 35,410.
The basic philosophy of extern
on work as conceived by the
mith-Lever act is the method of
aking available in a practical
'rm the knowledge of agricultural
hence, and the results of the best
Irm practices by means of we'll
elected demonstrations. The sub
cts on which such demonstra-
ons may be given, con be as va

REACTIONARIES ASSAIL
JUNE II CONVENTION
It is intimated that reactionaries
ar eback of the June 17th Conven-
ton. This is an Infamous SANDER
beftting a less reputable organ than
the official mouthpiece of the pro-
gressive railroad unions. The June
18th Convention was planned six
months before the Cleveland COnven-
ton, and the conference for progress
sive political action was given every
opportunity to cooperate. The edi-
torial in question says the Cleveland
Convention will safeguard the peo-
pies interest. From the way some
of the railroad brotherhood leaders
are boosting McAdoo and in view of
the fact that Mr.. Heating, Manager
of Labor. is a retired democratic
politician, it would be foolish indeed
for the Progressive Farmer-Labor
supporters to trust their political
destiny to the men who will domin-
ate the Cleveland Convention of
July 4th.
The Farmer-Labor prcgressives of
the Northwest are going forward
with the June 18th Convention and
proclaim to the progressive voters
of America that a Third party ticket
will be in the field and a campaign
will be carried on to elect the can
didates nominated. We do not advise
anyone to stay from the Cleveland
/ Convention for we think that real
/ progressives are able to estimate the
Importance of that gathering, but We
do invite representation from every
