Forage Needed To
Go With Our Corn

The corn acreage in Roosevelt
county has developed to a very high
degree and the feeding value of corr
for fattening any kind of live stock
for market cannot be excelled; how
ever this county is found to be sadly
lacking in the growing of feed which
is the bone building material of any
animal, and which is necessary in
the growth of young animals and for
milk production. Realizing the large
deficiency in this quality of crop in
this county, the Extension Service is
going to do all it "a to increase the
production of the feeds that we are
sadly lacking in. All these lacking
elements can be found in both al
falfa and sweet clover, besides the
fact that these crops are valuable
as feed crops, they are also very val
liable for the production of seed.
There is always a constant demand
for Montana hardy alfalfa seed, and
generally a good demand for sweet
clover seed. Farmers who are start
ing in on the production of these
crops should get seed of registered
quality, as there is quite a difference
in the marketing value. Last year
the price difference between com
mon seed and the registered seed was
much as 15c per pound.
Accordingly this year every eff
fort is going to be made to encour-
age farmers to increase their pro
duction of forage crops, especially
the ones that are high in protein or
bone building elements and also are
valuable as seed crops.-D. B. Noble,
County Agent.

THE ROADS CAMPAIGN

Se~venty-six hundred and sever
newspapers of the United States, out
Of a total Of 1888 are now News
paper Association members of the
National Highway association. These
members receive from the a~ssocia-
ton road news every week. The
majority of these papers publish part
or all of this news every week.
Why?
Only because progressive papers,
realizing the intense interest taken
by everyone everywhere, in roads,
desire to serve their readers with
the sort of information and news
stories they desire to read.
That more than half of the papers
of this great country are so interest
ed in highways, highway building,
highway maintenance and highway
use, is a sufficient indication of the
Importance of the subject to the
body polite. On roads depend, in
an increasing degree every year, our
transportation. 1t is not so long ago
GHG IdlIIOdQo represented ClS
largest industry in the United States.
Recently the automobile industry
passed the railroads in size; it is
now the country's largest industry
exclusive of farming.) But the
automobile industry in turn is dest-
ned to be passed by road building,
which will be the greatest single in
lustry in the nation.
Transportation is rails plus cars,
ivers plus boats, highways plus mo-
ors. Cars, boats and motors are
elpless without their highways. 1t
) because we have more cars than
Dads, more vehicles than places to
Sc them, and because we need. must
ave, more highways, good highways,
ational highways, and good roads
verywhere, that 1907 newspapers
ave enrolled themselves in a cam
align of highway education which
i'll inevitably result in ga paved
.nited States in our day"

What The Future Promises
To Progressive Farmers

The year 1924 begins the real era
of dependable diversified farming in
Roosevelt county. With the purchas-
ing power Of wheat and livestock at
a very low point, and with a large
number of farmers suffering from
financial ruin, with taxes high, there
is bound to be a general current of
called for pessimistic feeling through
out this section of the country. With
all these conditions and this feeling
which is dormant for the present,
there never has been, since the arti-
fetal boom days of 1916, more Opti-
mism for a safe future and logical
development of our northeastern
Montana farm lands. With the low
value of the land, with western mark
cts developing, and with the fact
demonstrated that corn is a sure
crop in this country, and that it will
be a dependable diversified farming
country, proved by the marked
steady increase in the production of
hogs, livestock and poultry, causes
the men with an investment in land
to sigh with relief and say: 81 will
make it if I can hold on" He knows
that farming conditions in other
countries are in worse condition than
here, and that even other sections of
the United States where the inflated
land values have caused a worse con-
dition than we are experiencing, and
further, that by the development of
diversified crops he can compete
with farmers with the high land val
ues.
His Day Coming
The farmer is suffering now, but
he will have his day. In ten years
these United States, according to the
rate of increase in population, will
have 1875, 100000 people in it. With
that condition coming about with the
high percent of farmers leaving the
farms, there is going to be a day of
reckoning; a demand for foods the
farmer produces. Demand can be
created this way, and it can be Gre
ated by farm organizations CONTROL
ing supply; a combination Of the two
well. The former is automatic
while the latter requires an evolu-
ton of education, community organi-
cation and working together. So to
the man who stays on the ground
floor and can keep his heels above
water, there is a future. Let's con-
to make the best out of it by
advantage of all the com
nunity program has to offer; it will,

ten times over, pay its way IN dol
lars and cents in addition to making
life in the community more worth
while.
Ask Man Who Knows
If you do not believe these facts,
ask the farmer who has increased
his WELD of wheat five bushels per
acre, plus a top grade by adopting
pure and approved seed. Ask the
farmer whose boy raised five acres
of corn and belonged to the Sow and
Litter club; ask the farmer who was
handling his summer fallow wrong;
ask the farmer who made a home
made weeder that worked, for six
dollars, when he could have paid
$3.50 for one; ask the farmer who
has lost a Gro of wheat by formalde-
hyde treatment, and is now using the
other method; ask the farmer who
has been cleaned out by jack rabbits;
ask the farmer who tried to mix his
own gopher poison; ask the farmer
who had grasshoppers eating his
crops up and who got poison in time;
ask the farmer who ran a corn var
iety test; whose family was using
milk from COWS infected with tuber-
culosis; the farmer who did not
how to prepare his turkeys for
market in order to get the best of
ask the farmer who made a
good corn selection; the farmer who
gets bulletins and marketing bulletin
service especially on poultry, and
here are numerous other things that
cannot be recalled. If you want to

McAdOO Calls Plan for

payer" was voiced in q Jackson Day
radio address in Los Angeles last
week by William Gibbs McAdoo, war
time director general Of the railroads
and candidate for the 1924 Democratic
presidential nomination
Explaining to his radio audience
that the Democratic party favors tax
reduction, but demands along with IL
a more even justice" in the distribu.
ton of tax burdens. Mr. McAdoo as
sailed Secretary Melloa's proposal to
500, 900 to 25 per cent The reason
ing was not only fallacious but un-
supported by the facts
II capital is being driven to the
refuge Of tax exempt securities be-
cause Of high surtax, thus depriving
industry of the sinews of wealth, then
how, he asked his hearers, could the
federal reserve board report "unparai-
led industry and trade activity in the
nation!" Obviously, he argued, cap
itai has not fled productive and tax
able enterprises to any disastrous eN-
tent.
THE real truth" Mr.. McAdoo de-
clared. ais that the great source OF
capital for industrial activity and en-
terprise in America comes from the
industry and savings Of the great
army of honest, Woodworking and en-
tsrprising people whose annual saw
ings represent the greater part of the
annual wealth produced by the
nation, and if the income taxes on
this great army are reduced to the
minimum and they are given the
greater rewards and the larger OPP
portunity to which they are entitled
under Democratic government, capital
for legitimate enterprises and for the
increased activities of the nation will
be supplied in larger measure than
can possibly come from reduction in
the surtaxes Of the big incomes Of
the wealthy"
