recently. This figure represents an
increase OF S.41s over the number
Of fatalities which occurred in 1929.
This increase, the department
stated. was due largely to the In
crease Of 2.776 deaths from high.

as automobile accidents. Even the
total number Of fatalities from auto
mobile accidents does not tell the
complete story. Deaths resulting
from collisions between automobiles
and railroad trains and street cars
were charged under the heading Of

According to the department e.

Strawberries Can Be Grown.

Strawberries Can Be Grown.
Strawberries as a home garden crop
can be grown in all sections of Mon
tana, according to F. NJ. Harrington,
horticulturist at Montana State col
lege. Montana grown plants are bet
ter than those grown in other states,
and since strawberries do not stand
long shipment, it is better to buy
plants as close to home as possible.
Eastern nurseries do not desire to
ship plants after the first of May and
Montana planting should come later
than that.
When strawberry plants are bought
they usually come in punches of %.
There is a tendency of these punches
to heat in the center and soft rot de-
velous, destroying the plants. TIC
avoid this, break the punches up or
their arrival. If conditions are not
| ready for immediate planting, dig 4:
trench in a shady place Jay plants
side by side in this trench, cover with
earth and press soil about the roots
The ground where Strawberries ar,
to be planted should be carefully ant
thoroughly prepared. A rich lOos'
soil, up into a fine condition is desir
able. When setting out the plants
depth is one of the important con
siderations. The crown should be eve
with surface of the ground. If plant
ed too deep the crown will rot and j
too shallow, the crown will dry out
in either case the plant dies. Tn

CATTLE AND SHEEP

RANGES IN GOOD CONDITION;
SELDOM HAVE FLOCKS
WINTERED BETTER

Cattle and sheep in Montana more
than maintained their relatively high
condition during the month of Febru-
airy, and show condition ratings much
above normal, while prospects for
summer grass varies in different parts
of the state from doubtful to excel
lent, according to the March live
stock and range report issued by
Geo. A. Scott, of the Federal-State
Cooperative Crop Reporting Service
Stockmen in all important districts
say that not only have stock come
thus far through the winter in ex.
cellent shape, but with small losses
and that there is sufficient feed il
nearly all localities to insure agains'
heavy spring losses or shrinkages
from lack of feed. While the posi-
bilities of evere spring storms ar
not to be forgotten, yet stock are il

be most prevalent in the spring and

objection is that it gives the mix an
unappetizing appearance. Milk that

consumed, being caused by a diseased
udder.
Clean Up the Chicken Yard.
Many troubles that affl.ct chicks
and chickens are directly traceable
to unsanitary conditions in the poul-
try yard. Mud, filth and spoiled gar
bage are not conducive TO health.
Move the chicken yard so that the
chickens may run on fresh, clean
ground if possible, otherwise clean
up the old premises and fill up the
mud holes.
MoIdy Grain Will Kill Chicks.
Amy grain or chick feed left over
from last year should be examined
carefully, for unless it has been well
kept it is likely to have become moldy.
Such moldy feed will kill chicks. If
there is any doubt, the safe thing h
do is to throw it away.
Look at Grain in AK Handle.
When buying a hickory handle for
an ak or pick, see that the grain Of
the wood runs straight through TO
the end. Also examine the end Of the
handle-small pores there mean solid
wood. If a good piece of hickory is
dropped on end against a hard sur
face it will give off a clear ringing
sound. Poor hickory sounds dead.

prospects for growth of grass in the
spring. While there aas not q great
deal of snow and lain IL February
it was well distributed, and much Of
the moisture soaked into the ground.
Reports say that there is enough
moisture in the soil to give grass =,
good start, with the possible excep-
tions noted in the extreme northern
and southwestern counties. Fear of
bad outbreaks Of grasshoppers is
noted in several reports from various
districts. A very light snow covering
is reported in all the mountain dis
tricts except parts of the south cen
trail section, and this does not promise
well for SOM of the higher ranges.
Cattle.
The condition of cattle is III per
cent of normal, two points higher
than a month ago, and IL points
above a year ago. The excellent con-
dition of cattle herds is statewide,
and the improvement is due largely
to lack of normal shrinkage. Mild
weather and open winter ranges last
month made little feeding necessary.
and total winter losses have been very
light. Numerous local outbreaks Of
blackleg are reported, and predatory
animals and abortion have caused
some losses in certain localities. Witt.
sufficient feed on hand to meet emer,
gencies, cattle are expected to go on
the summe ranges in the best condi-
ton in years, according to reports.
Sheep.
Condition 112; compared to 10 last
month and to 90 a year ago. Flocks
have seldom gone through to March
in such uniformly satisfactory shape.
Shrinkages have been light, losses
reported very light, the growth of
wool excellent, while eve bands arc
being kept in first class condition
against the lambing period. The crop
of lambs dropped promises to be sat

Strength, but the proportion that sur
vive will depend much upon spring
weather.
Feed Supplies.
Large supplies of hay and other
feed is reported from nearly all sec
tions of the state, with shortage no
where indicated. Winter needs have
been unusually small, as stock have
been using winter ranges most of the
winter months. Winter grass has
been generally plentiful, but constant
use has reduced the supply in man.

the already heavy production in this
country and the possibility that con-
sumers demand may not be Indefinite
ly maintained at levels predicated up
on great industry, prosperity sug-
gest the necessity for conservatism
as to further expansion in dairy pro-
duction.
Sheep
With indications of a reduced num-
Der of lambs on feed and lower ship
ments to market, the prospects favor
continuation Of a strong market for
several months with larger market
supplies in midsummer. The wool
situation is distinctly favorable for
producers and there is apparently OPP
pOrtunity at present for profitable in
rease in the number of sheep.
Poultry
Poultry production has expanded
rapidly in recent years. The record
dicates further expansion in 1924.
Consumption has also increased at a
rate that has maintained average
prices to producers. Present COM
paratively low storage stocks place
dressed poultry in a somewhat strong
er position than eggs. 1t would ap-
pear that poultry production is now
at a point where further profitable ex-
pansiOn may be dependent upon con-
t~inuatiOn of the present high level of
demand.

consumption of fibers and high
quality foods and this may be ex-
pected to continue into the sum-
mer. Foreign markets, on the
whole, seem likely to maintain

srand for our cotton, pork, wheat
and tobacco. The situation this
season with respect to labor,
machinery, fertilizer, credit and
Dther cost items is not such as

Wheat

tendency toward improvement with

winter wheat. Spring wheat growers

springs planting. Should abandon

Corn
Notwithstanding that there will ap-
parently be fewer animals in the coun-
9Ty to be fed next winter, corn grow
ers report intentions to increase the
acreage 80 per cent, and in the corn
belt proper to increase it 3.5 per
cent. This increase, if actually car
Eied out and accompanied by yields as
good as in recent years, would result
An a large supply relative to the prob
able demand for corn.
Hogs
The swine industry is going through
a period of liquidation and discourage.

ket still continue. In the past, such
periods of heavy production and low
prices have led to a reduction in the
Breeding so drastic as to result lateI
on in shortage and in reversal of tn,

that hog producers have now passed
the peak of production and may b.

Ods of low production.

Washington, d. c., March 25-The following statement of the
Agricultural Outlook for 1924 based upon current information and
DpOn reports from $4,000 farmers, representing every agricultural
1900 in the country, stating their intentions regarding the plant
ing of spring crops, has been prepared by the Bureau of Agricul-
sural Economics of the =. S. Department of Agriculture to pro-
vide a basis upon which producers may make readjustments to
meet economic changes. The general agricultural outlook for
1924 indicates that farmers are undertaking a normal production
program. 1t is apparent, however, that agricultural production
this year will still be attended by the difficulties arising from high
wages and other costs, loss of farm workers, and the general dis
parity between prices of farm and urban products. Domestic de-
mand for agricultural products is at a high leved. Urban prospects
