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 soil
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 mum

.HOLSTEIN -FRIESIAN
BREEDER ORGANIZE

I'm the closing day of the 1924
Farmers Week at Montana
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 Holstein-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. ]. Haslerud of Montana
State college, secretary-treasurer;
and G. H. Wight of White Sulphur
Springs, J. H. Hofstetter of Lewis
town, David Lea of Stevensville, and
Miss Louise Maier of Butte were
as additional members of the
board of directors.
The organization started with 20
charter members and as many more
Holstein breeders of the
state firmly behind the organization
and ready to come in. The member
fee was placed at IS, and the
only requirement for membership is
the use of a purebred Holstein bull
in the dairy herd.
At a meeting of the board of dir
ectors it was brought out that a large
number of Holsteins, both purebreds
and grades, had been purchased out
side of the state to supply the Mon
trade. In many Eases the prices
we're considerably higher than the
class of stock could have been
for at home. 1t was explain
ID that this was not due entirely to
he fact that breeders preferred out
ide stock but that the purchasers
we're not familiar with sources of
supply within the state. The direc-
ors agreed that one of the greatest
~ervices that the new organization
perform was that of keeping
informed of the development

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 a steady in
crease in the number of field dem
o%nstrations each year since then, a
steady progress has been made in
the selection of dependable varie-
ties, and a 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
progress, to a 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),
267 poultry, 236 crop protection,
294 fairs and exhibits, 104 farm
management.
Records covering a six year pc
Rod of extension work show a
marked increase in the number of
demonstrations conducted each
year and the number of farm peo-
pie attending meetings held in con-
junction with these demonstra-
The number of demonstra-
tions held from 1918 to 1923 have
more than doubled, while meetings
and attendance have trebled as the
following figures indicate:
Number of demonstrations for
the six years since 1918: 1,502,
1,912, 2,170, liza, 3,276 and 3,648.
Number of meetings held in con-
nection with these demonstrations
for the six year period: 292, 81,
253, 454, 1923 and 1142. The total
attendance at these meetings dur
ing this time increased yearly as
follows: 1901, 1883, 1888, r.
712, 1900 and 35,410.
The basic philosophy of extern
sion work as conceived by the
Smith-Lever act is the method of
making available in a practical
the knowledge of agricultural
and the results of the best
practices by means of we'll
selected demonstrations. The sub
iects on which such demonstra-
ions may be given, con be as va
led as the needs of the farm popu-
alton.
