ANNUAL MEETING
OF MONTANA FARM
BUREAU JAN. 5 g
(From Montana state Conege)

Montana Farm Bureau will take
= place during Farm and Home
Week, January So, at Montana State
| College, according to an announce
ment by w. L. Stockton, farm bureau
president. Mr.. Stockton attended the
district convention of western state
Farm Bureaus during the past sum-
mer; took part in the work of the
American Council of Agriculture, an
organization started following the
failure of passage of the McNary-
Haugen bill; and he recently return
ed from the annual convention or the
American Farm Bureau Federation
at Chicago. Reports on these meet
ings and a consideration of the yari-
Gus problems before the farmers of
Montana and the nation will be given
prominent place on the program
of this years annual convention of
the Montana Farm Bureau.
Whether or not to urge such legis-
lation as was incorporated in the
McNafy-Haugen bill, which was de-
signed to give the farmer a greater
measure of protection from the
tariff, and which failed to receive
the necessary support in congress
during the last session, is one of the
important questions that must be
answered by the farmers of this
country, says Mr.. Stockton, and it
will of necessity, have an important
place in the deliberations of the
Montana Farm Bureau. The pro-
posed "child labor amendment to
the federal Constitution is another
legislative matter which, in Mr..
Stockton's opinion, is of Importance
to farm people.
During the past year the Ameri-
can Farm Bureau Federation ap-
pointed a committee to investigate
the offer of certain large grain con-
Germs in Chicago to sell their hold
ings to company of farmers. The
report favored the offer
with the result that there has been
established, recently, new cooper
alive grain marketing organization,
the result of merger of five of the
largest grain houses in Chicago. This
new cooperative venture in grain
will be considered at the
coming meeting.
Coming Immediately after the |
close of the Montana Month" adj
campaign, the time will be |
ripe for a consideration of the fol-
low-up work in connection with this
effort. The farmers of Montana are
directly and vitality interested in the
to bring in new people
and the coming meeting will provide
an opportunity for a consideration
Of this matter.
With the important legislative
matters to be considered and the var
ous problems confronting the farm
ers at this time, Mr.. Stockton be-
ieves that the coming meeting of
the Farm Bureau will be of the
greatest value to the farm folk of
Montana

SIX CARLOADS OF TURKEYS
SHIPPED FROM HIGHLINE

More than 1880 turkeys have
been shipped to eastern markets this
fall, according to w. G. Afford, who
has had charge of the shipping.
The turkeys come from the coun-
try north of Carter, east of Shelby
and west of Evansville. Hill county
is leading Blaine county by 500
pounds the total weight shipped to
date.
The net weight of the six carloads
will run close to 10000 pounds.
Turkeys already marketed have
brought an average net price of 80
cents per pound, with the No. 1 fowls
bringing "a cents. The Christmas
price, it is expected, will be slightly
higher.

UE ONTANA gained more dairy
MI cattle in the four year period
AsA 1920 to 1924 than in the en-
tire 20 year period 1890 to 1910
This, in brief, tells the story OF Mon
tana's dairy development in recent
years, and more than that, tells al
least an important part of the story
of the diversification that is taking
place in the agriculture of the state.
A little better idea of the de-
velopment that has taken place In
farming in Montana, particularly
that part of it which is reflected by
the increase in dairy cows, is had
from the fact that in 1890 there
were $4,000 dairy cows in the state,
while at the start of 1924 there were
$4,000, an increase of $50 per cent
in "a years.
While the dairy development for
the entire period since 1890 has been
encouraging, the real increase has
taken place since 1910 In that year
Montana had $4,000 dairy cows as
compared to almost 100000 today.
During the decade from 1890 to 1900
there was a 40 per cent increase in
dairy cattle; from 1900 to 1910
there was SIS per cent increase; while
from 1910 to 1920 there was 1O2
per cent increase.
An indication of the Importance
of dairying in Montana is also had
from the dairy products produced.
In 1921 there were approximately
seven and a half million pounds of
creamery butter made in the state;
in 1923 the amount had increased
to 1921, sos pounds and the esti-
mate for 1924 is placed at approx
mately 100000 pounds; indicat-
ing an increase of almost 100 per
cent in creamery butter produced !
during the last four years. In 1921 |
there was 158,559 pounds of cheese
produced in the state and in 1928, |
100000 pounds. Ice cream produc-
ton increased at about the same |
rate with 481, 100 gallons manufac-
tured in 1921 and 711,762 gallons
in 1923. There were SO creameries
in the state in 1921 and Sc cream
cries in 1923.
AS important as has been the in
crease in numbers of dairy cattle |
and in the manufacture of dairy |

FARM AND HOME
WEEK PROGRAM
From Montana State College


~ NE of the chief speakers at the
III Farm and Home Week at the
~ Montana State college, January
SO, 1925, will be M. L. Wilson, Mon
tana's well known agricultural lead
er, and national authority on farm
management and farm economics, at
present head of the office of farm
management for the United States
department of agriculture.
Mr.. Wilson will deliver two adj
dresses before the general meetings.
one on Competition in Farming
and the other on Present Day Prob
lens of Farm Management" His
present work, which includes a re-
vision of the work of the office of
Farm Management of the U. S. de-
partment of agriculture, and ma
tion-wide study of farm leasing and
form ownership, will provide the
material for his talks.
Farm leaders will agree that
there have been but few agricultur-
al movements in Montana of any con-
sequence during the past decade, that
have not been directed by or felt the
Influence of M. L. Wilson There is
no greater authority on farming and
farming conditions in Montana, and
his appearance on the Farm and
Home Week program, along with
Director Farrell of the Kansas Agri-
cultural college, John Game, of Lo-
gan, Utah, former director of ex-
tension in that state, and DIR. Nellie
R. Perkins, authority on the prob
lens Of bringing up children, and
others, lends more than important
air to this approaching state event. |
Among the many important agri-
cultural movements with which Mr.. |
Wilson has been connected in Mon |
tana, was that of stimulating corn |
More recent efforts
have drawn attention to the fact |
that it was Professor Atkinson and |
NJ. L. Wilson who made the study of |
corn growing in Montana which re-
suited in a new interest in corn in
the state, and the bulletin issued in
1914 under the joint authorship of
these two men has been called the
finest and most authentic history of |
corn ever published.
Some of Mr.. Wilson's later work
Of prominence in Montana, was the
development of the county agent SER
Vice while he was state leader of
county agents; survey Of farming
n north central Montana, resulting
n Bulletin Sc of the Montana Ex-
ension Service, which is recognized
Is the most outstanding work of its
Kind; and still later, his work in in

A SOUND CHOICE

Conviction inspiring numbers of thoughtful persons, con
veniently labeled "'the inteligensia' by others patiently out
side that pail, deplore the lack of appreciation for what is
beautiful in this great land. Psychologists discourse upon the
part played by training in the selection of what is perceived
and responded to. And great cities are not daring to spend
less than ten to twenty five per cent of their school building
funds for what is simply the element of beauty in an effort to
give young America a training in what is right.
With or without these trends before them, the Rawhns
board of education has none the less picked an architect for
n new High School who is thoroughly familiar with them.
Give a child II dignifed, interesting, and effective structure in
which to form his or her earliest, and therefore most abiding
ideas Of education, and the city gives to that child an i'm
measurable respect for learning. Give the child beauty of line
beauty of pattern and texture as an intrinsic part of that build
ing, and he surely develops n feeling for what is fine in ma.
terial things. Add to those factors in his growth, mental and
spiritual, an informed educational process and the great pro
duct Of a great mandatory, the American school, is worthy
TO carry on under the ideals Of America.
A school building is more than four walls and n roof; edu-
cation is no longer n willow stick and text books. Realizing
the responsibility Of getting more than building stone into its
new quarters Of a million dollar high school tho school board
has chosen an architect well. William Dubois Of Cheyenne can
be trusted to conceive and erect n building which, in turn, can
be entrusted with the big task Of creating n proper attitude
toward learning and Il wholesome appreciation Of what is
beautiful in the minds Of Rawlins youths.

full realization of this community spirit would not have been
possible at this time when needed most. But the Chamber of
Commerce was born of the city and certainly by and for the
city: At the first mass meeting more than IS per cent Of the
business interests of Rawlins were present and results of the
recent membership drive show that they were profoundly inter
ested.
Team after team of the membership committee reported
virtually 100 per cent success and 1875 members subscribing
two -thirds Of the quota established were signed up. A follow
up campaign visiting such business men as could not be seen
during the first drive was put through yesterday and the roll
now includes 200 businessmen. This is far in excess of ex-
pectations and shows definitely that Rawlins means to have
la head to its community activity.
Officers and directors elected at the first mass meeting and
later at directors meetings have the entire confidence Of the
city; there is no reason why the list of their accomplishments
for the initial year should not be long.
