TREASURE STATE FARM AND LIVESTOCK
BOOK ON TEAMS
IN BIG DEMAND

(FrOm the Montana State COIege).
SCIENTISTS and agricultural au-
~ thorities in all parts Of the world
~ look to the Montana State coll
eye for information and assistance
in solving their production problems.
Bulletin 70, "Big Teams in Montana"
has had calls from all states in the
Union, practically every Canadian pro-
vince, and from many foreign cOun-
tries. The first issue Of 10000 con-
les Of this bulletin has already been
exhausted, 10 months after coming
from the press, and reprint will be
necessary to meet the calls that are
continuing to come in.
Russia appears to be taking a new
interest in agricultural research.
Early in September, Montana State
college was visited by Valerian OBJ
Olensky-Ossinsky, professor of the
Agricultural Academy of Moscow and
D. N. BOrodin, president Of the Rus
sian Agricultural Agency in America,
with headquarters in New York.
These scientists were particularly in
terested in the dry land farming
conditions in this state and the work
done in this field Of agriculture by
the Montana institution. They say
that a considerable area in Russia
has similar characteristics to much
of the farming area in the northwest
ern states and that many of the i'm
proved practices that have been put
into successful operation here will
also be applicable in their country.
Among other recent calls for in.
formation and assistance was a re-
quest from Persia asking for advice
on the control of grasshOppers, indi
eating that Montana's success IL
handling some Of it's problems has
reached the remote corners Of thu
earth.
Montana is also playing an in
creasingly important part in the ma
tional studies and Investigations be
ing conducted in the country deal
ing with climate, plant life, soil anC
moisture cOnditiOns-the fundamen
tails upon which long time agricul
tural development must be based. Il

The successful use Of a combine
harvester for harvesting flax has
been demonstrated on a 60-acre field
in Rosebud county. The flax was
allowed to stand until thoroughly
ripe and the combine did its work
very efficiently. A caution is given
on the harvesting Of flax with a COM
bine because Of the increased posi-
bility of hail damage due to delayed
harvesting.

w YITH land comparatively cheap
M and abundant and labor COM
W paratively high and scarce,
farmers Of Montana are interested In
means Of adapting their farming sys-
TENS to these conditions. The in
creased use Of labor saving devices
on the farm is one Of the direct re-
suits Of this interest, and the use Of
larger teams and larger power units
is another. Mr.. Wilson, economist
of the Montana Extension Service,
spent two years studying the use Of
big teams and the result of this study
was the publication of Bulletin No.
70, "Big Teams in Montana" a bull
letin which has had calls from the
four corners of the earth, and which
has established a new demand record
among publications of the Montana
institution. The series of articles
on this subject which will be pub
lished in this paper are based upon
the results Of Mr.. Wilson's studies
and Investigations on the use of big
teams.
It must not be supposed that the
use Of big teams is new in the state
of Montana, for, as Mr.. Wilson points
out in his bulletin, the big team
came into use in the state in the days
of the gold rush. That is not a very
great time ago, since there are still
living in Montana many men and
women who came west in a covered
wagon in the days when the gOlC
fever swept thousands of people into
the new communities of Bannack, AL
der Gulch and Virginia City. Yet, il
terms Of years it has been Ions
enough for that period of big team
freighting to flourish, decline, ceast
and be forgotten; and for decades t
pass before renewed interest in tn,
use of big teams springs up in a new
generation of men that knew
or had almost forgotten the big team
experiences of those earlier days.
It is in comparison of the big team
freighting days of the COS and 20
with the increasing interest in BIZ
teams on the dry land farms of Mon
tana today, that this i%ntrOductiOl
wishes to hold the readers attention
in this opening article. Condition
that brought about the use Of BIZ
teams in both periods of the state
history are here presented as analO
gOUs, if not parallel.
