POULTRY EXPERTS
TALK CULLINC

A SERIES of poultry culling and
\ ~ caponizing demonstrations were
4 - held recently in Phillips county,
where 325 people were not only in
formed concerning the principles of
the art but were permitted to view
actual demonstrations.
These meetings were arranged
through the county agents office and
were conducted by Miss Harriette
Cushman, poultry specialist from
Montana State College. Ten demon
strations were conducted in the diff
| ferent parts of the county. Practi-
cally every farm community of Phil
lips county has had one of these
demonstrations within the last three
years and already many good results
are seen since culling is becoming
general practice among the farmers.
One important result of the demon
stration has been that farmers are
convinced that it does not pay to
raise mixed chickens since every flock
of mied birds had a much larger per
centage of culls than the pure bred |
flock.

ment three years ago and today has a
good flock of White Wyandottes that
are producing him a good monthly

poultry house that has given him 100
per cent satisfaction to keep his hens
in excellent condition for winter lay
ing. His house is dry, warm, we'll
and absolutely free from
frost in the winter time. Many farm
ers are planning their poultry houses
from this model type.

From Montana State College

TAT ONTANA'S dockage problem
M canot be considered as serious
~SA yet says A. ]. Ogaard, agrono-
mist for the Montana State College
Extension Service, and yet the ex-
periences of the older wheat growing
states in the spring wheat belt indi-
cate that farmers here will have to
take steps to avoid the trouble and
losses that come from foul grain
fields.
While the dockage problem is still
of little Importance the time is ripe
to act to prevent it from becoming
important. Proper crop rotations,
the use of pure, clean seed, summer
tillage, care in graduating weeds, the
use of proper tillage tools, commun-
ity cooperation in combating the
pernicious weeds and other measures
are advocated as means of maintain
ing clean wheat fields. These prac-
tees, which all come under the head
OF good farming, are worth consid-
erlng on the part of Montana farmers,
If for no other reason than to hold
down dockage losses in years to
come.
little realization of the import
ance of maintaining clean wheat
fields is had from review of condi-
tons in the spring wheat states
where the dockage problem is acute.
The farmers in these states, compris-
ing North Dakota, South Dakota,
Minnesota and Montana, last year,
hauled nearly 100000 bushels of
screenings from their farms and ship
ped them to terminal markets. After
the farmers had paid a $675,000
threshing bill on these screenings,
they proceeded to pay around $780,
900 to send them to market. Then,
instead of receiving anything for the
screenings, their presence actually
helped reduce the price received for
the wheat.
The screenings, removed by clean
ers, sold for from 50 to $12 a ton
and were then ground up and ship
ped back to the farmers as ready
mixed feed. 1t is estimated that in
this way the grain farmer gave away
mpll1ons of dollars worth of feed
winch should have been removedat
the farm and turned into a gain in
stead of dead loss.
spring wheat farmers who cleaned
Inelr market wheat on the farm in
1878 gained more than cents per
oushei, due to the fact that the
act OF cleaning improved the grain

NATIONS PIG CROP
IS DECREASING
T Asst seasons prophecies of fall
/ ing off in the pig crop in this

r Asst seasons prophecies of fall
ing off in the pig crop in this
country are being realized, says
R. B. Millin of the Montana State
College Extension Service. While
Montana's pig crop has increased that
of the country as whole has dropped
considerably, bringing hog production
down to a more normal basis.
The report on the national survey
carried out during the month of June
to determine the present condition of
the hog business discloses that the
spring pig crop in the corn belt states
is around 100000 less than last
year.
The June survey shows that the
flood of hog production in the corn
belt that reached its high point in
the spring crop of 1928 is now rapid
ly receding and has about reached
normal level
The survey was made by the Unit
ed States Department of Agriculture
in cooperation with the post office de-
partment. Rural mail carriers were
used to collect the necessary informa-
ton and $4,000 farms located in all
sections of the United States are in
cluded in the report.
A decrease of about 81 per cent
in the number of sows narrowed for
the country as whole in the spring
of 1924 from the spring of 1928 is
shown in the survey. Because of a |
slight increase in the average number
of pigs saved per litter this spring
the reduction in number of pigs is 20 |
per cent.
The number of sows bred or to be |
bred for fall narrowing this year
shows a decrease of six per cent
from the number narrowed last fall.
This indicates a probable reduction
of 10 to 10 per cent in fall pigs,
provided June intentions are not mod
flied materially by subsequent condi-
tions, since a considerable per cent
of bred sows do not produce pigs.
The decrease in the number of
sows narrowed this spring in the
corn belt states is II per cent and
of pigs saved II per cent, while the
number of sows bred for fall shows a
of IL per cent All other
regions show sharp decrease in
the 1924 spring crop although indi-
vidual states in the far west show
Increases. In the south central states
extending from Kentucky to Texas,
the decrease is SO per cent. All
regions except the corn belt show !
more sows bred to farrow this fall
than narrowed last fall.

machines in the older wheat growing
states.
AS an indication of the feeding val
ue of dockage it has been found that
average screenings as they come
from the thresher have a value for
livestock feeding purposes nearly eq-
ual to oats. Heavier screenings
from which the chaff and lighter ma
terial has been removed has feeding
value equal to that of heavier grains,
corn, barley, and wheat.
