Radio Relief Call

The universal bond of radio has
never been demonstrated to better
advantage than in the hours immedi-
ately following the terrible catas-
trophe which was visited on several
middle west states on Wednesday
afternoon. Scarcely had the storm
tornado taken its toll in death or
wounded than radio launched itself
on an errand of mercy. Spurred on
by the task ahead, George D. Hay,
''the solemn old judge" and his loyal
staff of WIS headed by Ford and
Glenn" kept an all night vigil, and
when they finally did "sign off" the
following morning they had the sat
isfaction of knowing that they had
been the means of raising more than
eleven thousand dollars in eleven
hours for relief work in the devas-
tated area. Mr.. and Mrs. o. B. Hors-
ford of Wolf Point were among those
who were quick to answer the radio
call for help.

FARM ORGANIZATION
SYSTEM SUCCESSFUL

The farmers of Roosevelt county
are fortunate in having access to a
digest of the organization system for
farms in northeastern Montana which
has proved successful over a period
of years. While it is not expected
that this digest will be entirely APP
plicable to every farm in Roosevelt
county, it will be of great value in
shortening the period of pioneering
and eliminate a great deal of misdi-
rected energy to those farmers who
are interested in successful farming
and a study of the business side of
that industry. This material was
worked up after a very c%omprehen-
sive study and survey by L. A. Rey-
noldson, economic analyst, and is put
out in a form that is readable and
valuable to anyone interested in
farming. One of the most important
factors outlined is the division of the
farm into farm crops and a success
full four-vear rotation.
This circular also gives a very i'm
nortant slant on tire class and
amount of livestock that is most prof
table. together with the method and
practices most successful in live
stock production, as well as in crop
production.
For the farmer of Roosevelt coun-
tv who is interested in the business
side of farming which is demanding
more attention as competition in
creases in agricultural productions
this Guide is as valuable as the drill
regulations are to the professional
soldier, or as the codes of the state
of Montana are to the lawyer, or as
books on medical science are to the
doctor. and farmers to make the most
Of thew operations must acknowledge
these factors and secure the best in
formation on their business that can
be obtained. and the best informa-
tid~ is the practice methods of sue
cessful farmers in this section Of the
state.

"An Organized System For Farms

ty agent will gladly supply you with

LIVESTOCK EXPERT
VISITS COMMUNITIES

R. L. Waddell, livestock specialist
from the extension service, gave
some very interesting and valuable
information to the livestock growers
in Roosevelt county in three COM
munity schools here last week. The
most important subject taken up and
discussed was the efficient practice
of feeding hogs, cattle and sheep,
showing how economy could be prac-
ticed in rations by adding a supple
ment to corr in the finishing opera
ton.
1t was found that very few farm
ers who finish hogs make use of this
practice, thereby losing annually
thousands of pounds of corn which
could be saved by the addition of one
of II common supplements that can
be grown here. Other very interest
ing facts which Mr.. Waddell brought
out in his discussion was the market
demand for different classes of live
stock, having had contact with both
feeder and buyer and packing house
distributors. He stated that the day
of the two or three year-old steer
demand was over and that farmers
from our range country, in order to
get a top price for their beef, must
put it onto the market early as the
big demand for big beef stock is
past. He also explained that only
light colored meat is in demand by
the buyers and this can only be OBJ
tanned by grain finishing from forty
to sixty days. Grass fed animals in
variably give a dark colored meat
which creates little demand except
as feeders.
He further stated that Montana
livestock breeders, in order to obtain
the best prices, would have to be-
come UP to date on livestock mar
keting and meeting the competition
offered by other livestock producing
states and that they were undoubt-
eddy behind the times on feeding and
marketing demands which are the
KEY to the livestock business. He
also advised the farmers not to
plunge into the sheep business at
such high prices, as there is room
for more sheep in Roosevelt county
and advised farmers who were adapt
ed, to get a few ewes and handle
them on a farm flock basis, as there
is a dual income and that sheep con-
vert farm waste into cash.
While these livestock schools came
at a very busy time there were a
number of farmers who were very
much interested in them and increas-
ed their information on livestock pro-
duction and demand, which ordinary
farm experience would have taken
them from five to ten years to learn.
This spells the advantage of such
schools and the need of keeping up
to date in order to meet the COM
petition necessary in the efficient
production of livestock,-D. B.
NOBLE, County Agent.

the crop. Montana farmers seeded
1853, 900 acres of rye last fall, which
was 35 per cent more than the acre
age sown in the fall of 1928.
Rye in United States
Condition on April / was "a per
cent and 1875 a year ago. This years
crop is forecasted at 61,652,000
bushels; last years crop was 63,446,-
900 bushels.
Montana Farm Labor
Farmers this year report q m
what greater demand for labor than
for the past three years, at slightly
better wages, but the supply is about
as usual. The supply of farm labor
pared with 112 a year ago. During
the busy seeding and planting season
there probably will be local short
ages of efficient farm labor, as is
usual, but some expect the labor sit
uation will handicap farmers more
this spring, in their attempt to put
In a larger acreage than usual.
General Conditions
The prospects for a favorable crop
season were materially improved by
SHOWS during March, which covered
the northern, central and eastern
districts very we'll. Soil moisture
conditions are considered satisfaet-
DRY so far in most of the districts of
the state, except portions of the west,
southwest, upper Missouri and Mus
selshell rivers drainage areas, and
portions of the south-central dis
tricts. The usual spring rains are
expected to relieve the moisture-de-
fcient areas. Little spring work in
the fields was done prior to April 1,
although a beginning was made. It
appears that farmers will get an
earlier start this season than for the
past three years. Farmers have been
making preparations to push field
work rapidly during April and May,
and if conditions continue as fav-
orable as at present, it is likely that
the total acreage put in crops will
exceed any since 1920.

CROP AND GENERAL
CONDITIONS APRIL |
WINTER WHEAT is POOR, RYE
FAIR-SPRING WORK is
UNDER WAY EARLY

Winter wheat in Montana is in
very poor condition, and it is appar-
ent that abandonment on account
of ~winter-kill will be much heavier
than usual, according to farmers re-
ports to the Montana COOPERATIVE
Crop Reporting Service. Rye is
somewhat below the average condi-
ton at this season, but withstood
the winter much better than the
wheat.
Montana Winter Wheat
The condition of winter wheat is
81, compared with SO last year at
this time, II two years ago, and with
"a the ten-year average for April L.
1t is too early to forecast the pro-
duction of winter wheat here. Esti-
mates of abandonment are made in
May; but all reports agree that the
winter killing has been unusually
heavy in all sections of the state,
while damage from winds has also
been bad in some localities. Last
fall Montana farmers seeded 10000
acres to winter wheat, which was IL
per cent more than seeded in the
fall of 1928; but it seems that the
acreage remaining for harvest this
year will be much less than in recent
years. The chief cause of winter
wheat loss was due to sudden tenn
perature drops in December with no
snow covering to protect the young
plants. Wheat on summer fallowed
fields suffered most. While it is a
little early to determine accurately
the exact condition of Montana win
ter wheat, it is known that losses
have been heavy, that stands will be
uneven, and that many plants are
weak. Good SHOWS in March over
most of the principal winter wheat
districts will aid in bringing out the
plants that are alive. Most of the
acreage of wheat to be abandoned
will be reseeded to spring wheat.
For the United States
The condition of all winter wheat
is 68.7 per cent of normal, compared
with 83 a year ago. Assuming the
average abandonment and usual in
fuences prevailing until harvest. a
crop of about Ala, 255,00 bushels
is forecast. Last years United
States winter wheat crop was $780,
037,0OO bushels. so conditions thus
far indicate a smaller production for
this year. The spring wheat crop
in 1924 was 282,636,000 bushels.
Northern Hemisphere
Winter wheat prospects, as of late
in March, indicate something like a
6 per cent reduction in production
this year compared with last.
Montana Rye
The condition of rye in Montana
on April I, 1925, was SO per cent o.
normal, compared with 81 Der cent
last year, and the ten-year average
Of 87.8 per cent. Rye apparently
came through the winter better than
wheat, although it is rather early
to determine as to the stands or the
strength of the plants. Snow dlr-
ing March over most of the main rye
sections will be of much benefit to
