this district. 1t is estimated that
the minimum total received by the
growers will be increased to $12
The average acre income from the
Sun river beets this year is expect
ed to be in excess of 500.
The extent to which the beet crop
will be enlarged next year on the
project will depend on meeting of
representatives of the Great West
ern Sugar company at Billings
early in January.
If favorable action is taken, the
growing of beets in this part of the
state will be encouraged by the ap-
plication of the contract system as
applying to labor and the placing
of field men in the territory.
1t has been announced that the
Billings refinery management will
recommend that sugar beet areas in
northern Montana be placed on the
same basis as the Billings beet dis
trict, which would mean the install
lation of field men, supplying of la

CATTLE BREEDING
AND EUCENICS
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT PLANS
TO DEVELOP PURE LINE OF
MILK PRODUCERS
Montana Dairy Specialist Tells of
Work of Dairy Division in Effort
to Create Strain of Highly Produc-
tive Animals.

The United States dairy division is
conducting experiments with ap-
proximately 1900 head OF dairy cat
tie in various parts of the United
States, according to ]. o. Tretsven,
dairy specialist at Montana State col
lege, in an interview. He continues:
"The object is to determine the meth
ods of breeding that will insure the
same uniformity in the transmission
of high milk and butterfat produc-
ton that is secured by plant breed
ers
eff the high productive capacity of
certain dairy COWS should prove to
be a definite character that can be
transmitted, as the color in peas as
discovered by Mendel, then there is
hope of ultimately developing pure
strain of high producing animals. To
accomplish this may mean years of
careful mating of a large number of
animals. Records of the production
will have to be kept so that those
whose germinal factors controlling
high production may be segregated.
Should the dairy division succeed
in the experiment to establish a pure
strain of high producers, it will be
one of the most important achieve
ments in dairy development. For
years we have selected our breeding
stock on the basis of their ancestry
and body conformation. On this
basis we have made wonderful prog
ress in developing our dairy cattle,
though there have been many dis

''If pure strain of high producers
should ever be developed through |

,e assured. The results one would
lepend largely upon their feeding,
are and management.
Rely on Records
''In the meantime, while the ex-
'eriments are in progress, we will
lave to rely upon selecting our breed
ng stock on the basis of their actual
ancestry and type. OF
he three, the actual performance or
productive capacity of the animals
ffspring is the best indication of his
alue as breeder. The high pro-
uctive capacity of the daughters of
ir Pieterje Ormsby Mercedes, Hood
arm Torono and Beda's May King,
ave made these sires famous.
'The second best indication of
ood breeder is the productive capa- ;
ity of the ancestry as shown in the
edigree. Many a sire has been sold

LAND SETTLEMENT CONGRESS
POSTPONED UNTIL FEBRUARY

At meeting of the executive com
mittee of the Montana land settle
ment congress, the date of the meet
ing of the congress, set for Helena,
January IA and Is, was postponed
until some time in February, the new
date to be announced soon. Men
whose aid was considered necessary
in the formulation of plans of the
congress have written that they could
not attend on dates originally set. 1t
was also held that national legisla-
tion which promises to have an i'm
portant influence on the Montana
land settlement question should be
determined before the meeting of the
congress.
The executive committee drew up
a tentative outline for program for
the February meeting. Subjects on
this outline include land advertising,
methods of increasing prosperity in
land sales and tenant con-
tracts, proper sizes of farms in re-
lation to kind of farming, soil sur
veys, and other dependable informa-
tion for new settlers, the dissemina-
tion of correct information concern

HOLSTEIN HElFER
CHAMPION MIXER

Another Montana COW placed her
self in the record breaking class
when College Elvira, bred and owned
by Montana State college, finished a
years test with a production of 21,-
970.8 pounds of milk and 1098.5 lbs.
of butter, according to an announce
ment by E. ]. Haslerude. This but
ter production places Elvira in the
lead of all junior four-year-olds
owned by state institutions and also
makes her the butter champion for
her age in Montana. When starting
her test the college COW also estab-
lished new junior four-year-old
weekly record for the state with
production of 502.5 pounds of milk
and 25.24 pounds of butter.
College Elvira is described as
splendid individual, of good size and
with strong vigorous constitution.
She weighed 1860 pounds at the be-
ginning of her test and was in very
finished. There was none of the
gaunt, "burnt out" appearance that is
so frequently associated with long
test periods.
Elvira is a member of the famous
Holstein herd at Montana State col
lege, and typically illustrates what
careful selection, good breeding and
proper care will do. A few years
ago the herd was ''just as ordinary"
herd. Today it is known throughout |
the United States as striking exam
pie of herd building under practical
ly the same conditions as exist on the |
farm.
The sire of College Elvira is Oak
Fobes De Kol Beets of Shadynook. |
whose dam has yearly record of
$4,000 pounds of milk and almost
1000 pounds of butter. The grand
sire of this bull was former grand
champion at the National Dairy show.
On the dams side, Elvira's breed
ng is equally good. Her dam is the
laughter of the famous Wisconsin
3ess Chief, one of the greatest sires
If the breed. One of his outstanding
daughters was Spring Brook Bess
Burke, known as the "Greatest Moth
II of the Holstein Breed" with
early record of more than $4,000
'ounds of milk and 1894 pounds of
utter. This great COW is a half sis
er of the dam of College Elvira.
The people of Montana have reason
0 be proud, says Mr., Haslerude, that
he only two cows to be placed on
est at Montana State college have
9th become champions among cows .
wned by state institutions. Grace :
-oningen, the other champion has a
ecord of 29,647 pounds of milk and
164 pounds of butter. At the pres
ut time Grace is well along on anoth-
r yearly test which, barring accident
romises to show even better re-
tits than the previous test.

FARMERS URGED TO HOLD
FLAX FOR BETTER PRICES

Warming that farmers in flax
growing sections of Montana are
disposing of their 1928 crop too
rapidly, and that shortage of good
seed for 1924 is possible III these
heavy shipments continue has been
issued by M. l.. Wilson, extension
economics specialist of Montana
State college.
Due to debt pressure, and because
of relatively higher price receiy-
ed for flax than for wheat, flax
growers are shipping out their
1928 flax crop and holding their
wheat, says Mr.. Wilson, III this
continues it will mean shortage
of good seed in the spring with
high prices demanded for this re-
manning seed.
Flax was profitable crop this
year in Montana, compared with
other agricultural crops. Mr.. Will
son believes that farmers should
hold back enough seed for 1924,
for there is every prospect that,
with the continued high tariff pro-
lection for American grown flax
and the low production compared
TO demand in this country, acreage
devoted to flax will be greatly in
creased in Montana in 1924.
Montana ranks as one of the
four leading flax producing states
of the nation. The highest record
ed production was in 1912 when
more than five and one-haIf mill
lion bushels came from Montana.
The 1922 production was $4,000
bushels. But in 1912 the average
price was much lower than it was
in either 1922 or 1928.
