PASTURES have been generally
considered as playing an import

no figures available telling how much
pastures were worth in dollars and

which tells definitely whether or not
the use of pasture is wise economy,
how much grain the pasture will re-
place and whether or not the use of
pasture results in efficient produc-

that the pasture was worth 1925 per
acre, based on the amount of grain
it replaced in the hog ration during
a period of 48 days.

BREEDING UP COWS.
FOR PRODUCTION
From Montana State College

ITO BRING up the dairy herd from
mediocrity to high production
does not necessarily mean a radi-
cal departure from the ordinary me-
thod of conducting the business nor
does it mean a lot Of additional ex-
pense, says j. o. Tretsven, dairy spe-
cialist of the Montana State College
Extension Service. Too often the
dairy farmer or the farmer with dairy
cows feels that herd improvement is
desirable but that it entails too much
expense for him to attempt. Actually
the maintenance of a herd of poor
producers, entails too much expense
for the owner not to carry on a sys-
tematic work of improvement.
A recent report of the United
States department of agriculture
points to the fact that last year, dairy
production and the consumption of
dairy products had just about reached
a balance. This means, said Mr..
Tretsven, that the point of high com
petition in the dairy business has
been reached and that from now On
the efficient producer will stay in
business and the poor n will be
eliminated. The increase in compe-
tition means that the COWS and herds
that are keeping the average %produc-
ton per COW in this country at it's
present low level will have to drop
out of the race and their owners will
have to develop higher producers Or
drop out also.
Interesting and vital are the fig
ures recently disclosed as the result
of an investigation carried on in Ore
gon. 1t was found that it costs at
least dollar more to produce 100
pounds of milk in a herd where the
average production is less than 5000
pounds of milk per year than where
annual production is 1000 pounds or
better. There are a great many herds
in Montana that are losing that extra
dollar per hundred pounds of milk
and this in itself speaks eloquently
for the need of improvement.
Dairy herd Improvement is not ne
~cessarily expensive and a simple sys-
tenn can be worked out without dis
rupting the present methods or cost
ing a lot of extra money. To illus
trate a simple and economical method
of herd improvement, Mr.. Tretsven
cites the case of H. B. Mitchell, mayor
vi GI0dL dis, duu OWuOI VI thO
Ayrshire Dairy of that city. Mr..
Mitchell's own words at a recent
meeting of the Montana State Dairy
mems Association. best tell the story.
81 first started keeping records of
my COWS in 1918. The average for
that year was 5,723 pounds per COW,
and the next it was 5,842. In 1920
the herd had increased to 85 cows
and the average production increased
to 6,674. In 1921 the average pro-
duction for the same number of COWS
was 6,875; in 1922 the average was
6,323 and last year, 1928, the aver
age production had increased to 8,438
pounds. To further illustrate the i'm
provement, in 1920 we had one COW

URGES FARMERS
TO COPY INDIANS
HIDATSA TRIBE RAISED FIELD
CORN ON MISSOURI LONG
BEFORE WHITES CAME
Great Northern Bean is Descendant
Of Bean Grown by Red Farmers in
Montana 200 Years Ago; Bean is
Coming Back.

Long before the white man came
to this country the Indians were
growing corn and only recently has
the white man taken an interest in
this crop. The same thing is true
regarding the field bean. The
Indians grew beans 200 years ago
in North Dakota and Montana and
only within the last year or two
has the bean come back to its own
among the white farmersOf Mon
tana.
Back two centuries ago, long be-
fore the coming of the explorers, the
Hidatsa Indians were growing a field
bean along the banks of the Missouri
river. Forty years ago Oscar Will
of Bismark, North Dakota, secured
some of these beans from Son of a
Star, a member of the Hidatsa tribe,
and today the descendants of that
bean, known as the Great Northern
bean, furnish the mainstay for the
bean growing revival apparent in
Montana. 1t is the Great Northern
bean that is most popular among the
bean growers of the Yellowstone val
ley.
If there is nothing new under the
sun, it must follow that a great many
of the worth while old things are be-
ing re-discovered, and the Great Nor
thern bean is one of them.
Official crop reports for 1922
show that there were $500 acres de-
voted to the field bean crop in Mon
tana during that year. In 1923 the
acreage had increased to $4,000. In
the fall of 1922 the market discover
ed the superiority of the Montana
product over that from other states.
Montana beans drew a premium. Re-
field bean acreage increas-
ed six fold the next year.

Supporters of William G. McAdoo in

have been bending their energies to

in the delegation have created some
breeze, but the most interesting oc-
currence has been union of various
