RED CROSS CALL BEGAN TUESDAY

Calling upon every citizen of Gal
latin county to come to the support
of the American Red Cross in its an
nual roll call, which began yesterday
L. E. Hathaway, who has accepted
the dictatorship of the campaign for
the local chapter, is determined to in
crease the membership. This COM
munity should not be satisfied with
anything but a representative mem
bership," said Mr.. Hathaway in dis
cussing the roll call for renewal of
old memberships and the enrolment
of new ores.
Through membership in this great
national organization, American citi-
Gems have the privilege of participat-
ing in an organization which " relieves
and prevents suffering, in peace and
in war, at home and abroad More
than 8. 100000 members are engaged
in the humanitarian work Of the Red
Cross. Every chapter is making an
effcrt to increase its membership for
1925 SO that the total national mem
bership may be materially enlarged.
Much of the local work Of the Red
Cross chapter in Bozeman is of q ma
ture that can not be made public.
Suffice it to say that splendid worl;
is being done. Aid is being given to
eX%-service men, children are being
cared for, health work, rehabilitation
work is constantly going or, as new
er before. Remember that half OF
the money raised in this roll call IS
kept right at home for relief work
and in case disaster should strike
BOzeman, the Red Cross would be the
first en- the field with relief. For
S1.OO membership you are enrolled in
the greatest national work of today.

Weekly News Letter
From State College
j. G. TAYLOR,

Big team demonstration meetings

Der Of northern Montana counties dur

Taylor at Montana State college.
Phillips county has already held four
of such demonstrations and others
are being held at the Northern Mon

that similar meetings will be held
there at a later date.

calling for similar demonstrations this
year. Thi5 according 70 Mr.. Taylor,
indicates a sound attitude On the rar:
of the grain growers of the state, in
that it proves conclusively that the
farmers are not losing sight of the
need for the utmost economy in pro-
duction, in spite of the period of tenn
poIary good prices which might cause
less interest in such matters.
Mr. Taylor points out that the pres
ent wheat price situation is favorable
because Of world conditions that are
not likely to be repeated in the near
future and it is we'll to be expecting
a drop to lower price levels next year.
This means, says the county agent
leader, that labor saving devices and
all practical means of economizing on
production will be just as necessary
in the years just ahead as they were
during the three years just past.

cow TESTING ASSOCIATIONS

AOANb
At least two new COW testing asso-
Citations will be organized in Montana
during November if present plans ma
terialize, says j. o. Tretsven, dairy
specialist Of the Montana State Col
lege Extension service. Lewis and
Clark and Cascade counties are ready
for such organization as tie result of
efforts in this direction by dairymen
and county agents, F. E. McSpadden
and L. G.. DeVore.
The addition of these two will raise
the total to five such associations in
Montana, says Mr.. T~retsven, the three
others being located in Ravalli u
ty, Lake county and Yellowstone coun-
ty. There are also five COW testing
clubs in the state, located at Chi
nook, Whitehall, Deer Lodge, Boze-
man and Big Timber.
Cow testing associations. according
to Mr.. Tretsven, are merely coopera-
tive organizations on the part of own
ers Of milk COWS living in a commu-
nit for the purpose of determining
the better methods of feeding. breed
ing AID management for the urp
Of wedding out the poor producers OF
a herd. The rapid expansion of such
organizations in Montana and the sue
cess that is being attained by the as
sociations that have already been es-
tabllshed demonstrates the new in
terest that is being taken by Montana
farmers and dairymen in improving
their stock.
Cow testing associations employ an
experienced cow tester to 90 among
the members Of the association. once
a month, and testing all cows. By
means OF careful records. the farmer
IS thus enabled to get an accurate
view Of his business and to make i'm
Provements. Cow testing clubs have
a similar object but are organized
where dairymen are fewer and where
a COW tester can net be EMPLOYED ON
full time. The cow owners, in this
case, take samples of milk at stated
times and these samples are brought
to a central point for testing at GER
tain times during a month. Usually
the county agent OF Smith-Hughes
agricultural teacher conducts the club
and does the testing.

Wants to- Know the Law About Going
Onto Farms!
Big Woods Editor:

Big Woods Editor
Here is a question for your Big
Woods Page if you can give positive
answer to it. Does hunting IL
cense or guides license or any other
license or law of the State of Maine,
give any person whatsoever a right
to go onto mans farm with fire
arms, (also dogs if he wishes to take
them and engage in shooting at a
target, woodchucks or rabbits with
out the consent of the owner of the
land? And if ordered by the owner
who is working nearby and afraid of
getting a stray bullet. Has a man
who entered onto a farmers enclosed
land without the knowledge or con-
sent of the owner a right to say |
shan't go until l get ready, and there
is no law by which you can make me
go, for l have a right to be here.
This is to settle an argument. No
personal interests. One of my neigh
bors ordered some men out of a
swamp in the pasture where he had
his cows. The hunters had dogs
and were doing lots of shooting and
everybody knows that ii the COWS
didn't actually get shot, the fight of
strange dogs and noises is bad for
mich cows. When the farmer call
ed to the hunters to Get out of that
pasture you are scareing my COWS to
death" he received the above answer
and they made him believe they told
the truth. But | have yet to be
convinced as to the hunters having a
right to remain.
| also have in mind circumstance
that is of no real consequence that
| would like to know the facts about.
A registered guide was visiting
friends who own and live in a small
house near another mans field and
seeing a woodchuck in the field the
guide took a small rife entered the
field and shot the woodchuck. The
field was nothing but grass land. The
owner of the field saw the whole
thing from his own dooryard and
shouted angrily to the guide to get
out He received this reply Il am a
registered guide and | can go where
and when | please and you can't stop
me. | do not find anything to that
effect in my book of the Maine Inland
Fish and Game Laws, 1923-1924 Re
vision, and | would like to know how
many liberties with others farm
lands a guides license is supposed to
give to a person.
Each of the above mentioned far
mers were born in the Provinces and
each believed the hunters answers,
but | do not Am | in the wrong?

Does a beaver dam improve fishing?'
There is a small pond in Somerset

half pound trout were very seldom
taken. Today there are trout in
these waters very much larger than
half pound | have taken trout on
a fly from this pound weighing three
pounds and several one and one-half
and two pounds each. This pond Is
gradually growing in area, and also
in depth, due no doubt to the pres
ence of beaver. Their dam has
caused the water to back up into the
bushes and timber on the shore and
among these old snags the trout seem
to like to hide in about three feet OF
water. For the most part this pond
has a muddy bottom and while the
fish are not of the best flavor, some
mighty good fly fishing can be had
there in June out in the open water
