On The Chicago Livestock Market
BY CHARLES o. ROBINSON q COMPANY
Chicago, August 2Sth, 1924.

Monday we had 1900 range cattle on sale
out of a total of 10000 on the market.
This was the first big run of rangers we
have had this season. The next heaviest
run of rangers was a little over 5000. Corn
fed cattle broke badly Monday, on top of
the heavy decline last week, and naturally
this affected the sale of rangers, all of
which sold 25 cents per cwt. lower. We
sold several small shipments of Montana
horned steers at $500, averaging 1918 lbs,
with one drove at $7.75, averaging 1866 lbs.
Our other sales on Monday included 312
dehorned double wintered Montana steers
for the Matador land & Cattle Co., av-
eraging 1882 lbs, at $40. We also sold
for the same company 204 heifers, averag-
ing 996 lbs, at $6.S5. The DeRiqles doub-
le-wintered, dehorned Wyoming steers, av-
eraging 955 lbs. sold at s6.40, and the
horned cattle, averaging 1925 h., sold at
1925.
Tuesday, with 1900 rangers on sale, the
market averaged about % cents lower, in
sympathy with O % cent decline on corn
fed steers. Our sales on Tuesday included
a shipment Of cattle belonging to the RE
servati0n Pool" of L0dgegrass, Montana.
There were 30 head of double-wintered,
dehorned steers at 1915, averaging Ills
lbs, So head averaging 1892 lbs, at $3.50,
one load Of horned steers, averaging 1179
lbs, at $500, and two loads of horned
strays, a little Oh the coarse order, aVerag-
ing 1887 lbs, at $6.75.
Wednesday,, with 1,400 range cattle on
sale, the market was about steady. The

neers and the Montana Society of Pr
oneers on the last day of their re-
cent convention sent a telegram to
Mrs. E. M. Briefly of independence,
Pa, and Mrs. Anna j. Smith of Ven
tura, CAL, surviving children of Pat
rick Gass, who fought in the revolu-
tionary war, accompanied the Lewis
and Clark expedition across Montana,
and then fought in the war of 1912,
The descendants Of Patrick Gass
were located by M. V. Conroy of
Butte, who has correspondent with
both of the ladies.
The pioneers message to the Gass
daughters read: 1.-THE Society of
Montana Pioneers, in annual owen
ton assembled, send most cordial
greeting to you, as daughters of Pat
rick Gass, who vas older than the
revolution, a hero of the war of
1872, and who, as a member of the
Lewis and Clark expedition, travers-
ed the entire length of Montana on
his journey to the Pacific Coast and
back, in the years 1805-06."

young girl. Mrs. Bierly and Mrs.
Smith are the children of this mar
The Wolf Point herald. (Wolf Point, Mont.) 1913-1940, 1924-09-11

Tallman dehorned Montanans, averaging
lip lbs, sold at $6.40. There were 122
head of Burnett steers, averaging 1166 lbs,
sold at $6.25. Other Wednesday sales were
along the same level as a general rule.
The condition of most of the range cattle
that have come to hand so far has been
very disappointing, with the exception of
the Matador and the Jensen & Nottingham
steers, which were fully up to expecta-
lions. We have had a very bad break on
corn-fed cattle, owing to the high price Of
corn forcing so many cattle on the mar
ket, feeders preferring to market their
cattle rather than hold them longer. All
grades of native dressed beef and shipping
steers are fully $1.00 per cwt. lower than
the fore part of last week, with the ex-
ception of choice yearlings, which are only
% cents lower, while fat and medium year
lings are so cents lower.
Another cause of the break was the fact
that on last Monday, Wilson & Co, who
are among our biggest buyers on this mar
ket, were put in the hands of a receiver.
They stayed out of the market completely
on Tuesday, and did not buy a hoof. How
ever, this matter has now been straight
ened out, and from now on they will, no
doubt, be buying their usual proportion
We are looking for lighter receipts and
a better market next week, and also look
for some improvement in the condition of
range cattle from now on, as we understand
the grass is curing nicely, which will put
them in good, hard flesh condition.

NEW EXPERIMENT

is being established at old For

dustry, who recently visited Miles
City for a survey Of the station.
1--WE shall go ahead carefully here
in my department." he said, 'and il
will not be long until we shall be
able to give the farmers of this part
of the northwest absolute informa-
ton on ways and means for earning
profits by the raising of hogs. We
shall know what breed of hogs is
best adapted to the country. We
shall know how to care for them and
how to prepare them for market that
will be profitable"
Mr.. Russell is very enthusiastic
about the country and the station.
He, with all the other government
men who have been at Miles City re-
Gently on matters pertaining to the
new station, are of the opinion that
very few persons in the northwest
appreciate the vaStness Of the enter
prise or what it will mean to the ag-
ricultural interests of the region.
All the guesswork will be elimin-
ated from farming as far as the farm
er himself is concerned. The govern
ment will do the experimenting and
foot the bills and the information re-
garding crops and livestock raising
will be given gratis to the farming
Farmers who wish to become more
familiar with the crops and methods
used by the government may visit the
and make personal inspections
and obtain first hand information.
There will be experiments in every
branch of the farming industry.
In many sections of the mid-wes-
tern states the farmers give credit
% the experiment stations for their
success. Thousands of them take
throughout the year and make an eff
'ort to visit the station grounds at
east once a season to get the latest

From Montana State College

"a KONTANA farmers have an op
MI p%ortunity of sharing in a GER
AVA titled seed potato business
amounting to $50 carloads a year. tc
supply the needs of Louisiana pota-
to growers, according to Professor
T. L. Tiebout, ho%rticulturist for the
louisiana Extension Service, who has
just completed a trip through Mon
tana's principle certified seed potato
growing sections. Professor Tiebout
was favorably impressed with Mon
tana's potato fields, the comparative
freedom from serious disease and the
general excellence of the potatoes.
At a meeting of potato experts and
railroad officials following the trip
through the Gallatin valley, Profess
sor r. NJ. Harrington, horticulturist
at the Montana State College dis
cused the excellence of Montana seed
potatoes as disclosed in recent tests
carried on in Louisiana. In these
tests Montana potatoes anne through
with a yield averaging approximately
% per cent better than the next
highest state. In freedom from di-
sease, the potatoes from this state
were also at the top and it was gem
orally conceded that potatoes from
Montana were much better in appear
ance and would therefore be more
attractive to the buyers.
Discussing the development of GER
titled seed potato production in the
state, Professor Harrington called at
tention to the fact that this years
production was far behind what it
should be and that with this limited
production, there was little opportun-
ity of competing with a state like Ne
braska which produced enough of
such potatoes to attract buyers.
While Montana potatoes were de-
sired in many quarters, there were
not enough produced to have much
effect on the general market. Pro-
fessor Harrington stated that with
the work already done to acquaint
Louisiana growers with the superior
quality of Montana's product there
was a ready market there for more
potatoes than would be available this
year, AS further efforts are made
to introduce Montana stock the de-
mand there will develop accordingly. !
Professor Tiebout discussed the
southern markets, stating that the
demand for certified potato seed was
just beginning, that even in Louisi-
ana where the greatest amount of
work has been done to show the adj
disability of planting this high class
stock, the demand was still far be- {
low what it would be when the va {
lue of such seed becomes more gen
orally recognized. In the states Of
Texas, Mississippi, Alabama, Arkan-
sas, Oklahoma and parts of Georgia !
conditions were much the same as
IN Louisiana. Local seed stock was

Header-Barge Used In Valley County.

Harvesting wheat by the new Hart
header-barge method was carried on
recently in the Baylor district of Val
ley county, according to Murray E.
Stebbins, county agent. Northern
Valley county farmers are much in
terested in the demonstration of the
use of this new labor-saving device,
and large numbers have visited the
fields where it is in operation. There
are approximately 900 farmers in
Valley county, each of whom are
raising 800 acres or more of wheat.
