An unusual situation has been
noted on the eastern live stock mar
kets in comparing the present beef
cattle price Situation with that of Il
year ago.
1t is evident that good and choice
steers in the last go days have been
from $500 to $4.75 a hundred lower
than a year ago. The decline was
heavier on steers weighing over HOO
pounds than on the lighter weights.
whose dealines we're confined from
$500 to $500 a hundred, which bears
out the growing tendency toward
lighter beef animals.
However, in the face of this sharp
decline on the choice kinds, it is not
ed that on common grade steers
weighing over 100 pounds only a be
to zoe a hundred decline was register
ed for the comparative period, while
on common grade steers under HOO
pounds an average of upwards to soc
a hundred rise is noted.
An unusual situation indeed and
one worthy of the question "why ?"
With a choice commodity selling az
off prices and the common kind
steady, and even higher, it would ap-
pear that the balance is wrong some
where. 1t is reasonable to assume
that this reflects a situation of either
abnormally high price levels a year
ago on choice stuff, brought about
through an acute shortage, or an
abundance this year, and we are in
cfined to feel that it is the latter.
During the past few months there
being an abundance of corn in the
middle western states held at unat-
tractive prices as grain, the owners
Of this corn have turned to livestocR
as a medium through which to market
their grain, and the consequence has
been that large numbers of common
and medium cattle, which would
have been marketed ordinarily a;
that kind have been turned into
heavy grain finished beeves, thus re.

PONDER COUNTY
HEAVY PRODUCER
OF PURE SEEDS

While Valley county retains its
place as the leader in pure seed pro-
duction in the state because of the
variety Of seed produced and the
number of growers, this years re-
ports of inspections by representa-
tives of the Montana Seed Growers
association show that Pondera coun-
ty is first from the standpoint of
volume Of production. The 16 grow
ers of Valley county produced 1915
bushels of Marquis wheat, Victory
and Markton oats, Hannchen barley,
Reserve flax, Bronze grass and corn.
The nine growers in POndera county
produced 1890 bushels Of Marquis
wheat, Victory and Markton oats and
Horn barley.
Figures for the state show an i'm
pressive increase in the production of
pure seed over last year, there being
more than 10000 bushels of pure
seed Of the IA strains and varieties
Of grain recommended in the crop
standardization program Of the Mon
tana Seed Growers association, which
organization is cooperating with the
Montana Extension service in this
work.

THE FISH HATCHERY
The Commissioner is Very Much
Pleased With the Site

Fish Commissioner Mcdonald spert
a day in the city last week looking
Over the site purchased for the pro-
posed government fish hatchery. He
was very much pleased with the site
and says the grounds may be made
to look very handsome.
The building, a blue print of which
has been on exhibition at the CONNER
cial Exchange bank for some time,
will be SO by Is feet and it will in
all probability be located on the flat
half way between the bridge and the
rise this side of Mr.. Davis house.
This building will be constructed next
spring.
Orders were left for the survey of
the site and the establishment Of
permanent stone corners. The pres
ent road crosses where some of the
improvements are needed and the
county commissioners will be asked to
change it at their next session. A
survey will be made along the north
and west lines or as near them as d
road can be run and the road will be
located either there or near the line
of the old mining ditch on the south
side of the stream.

lieving the supply of the common
kind and b~olstering up prices, while
on the other hand saturating the sup
ply of heavy finished cattle to the *
tent where the demand could not
make an absorption at r~emunerative
prices.
This does not reflect anything but
a temporary condition which may be
localized through the corn situation
and simply represents M of the
fluctuations that we may expect to
encounter on the upward swing of
cattle price levels generally.
However, this is just another proof
of how memorable the economic law
of supply and demand is and how
quickly it reflects over or under
production of any commodity. Les
sons of this kind bring home to us
the wisdom of gauging supply and
distribution c~Onservatively to meet
demands and no more, and to hest
tate before crowding and expanding
production beyond the point where it
properly meets demand, even though
it might appear desirable from the
standpoint of marketing a low priced
grain crop.
By this same token with the COM
pletion of liquidation of the cattle
situation, if a proper eye is kept
upon the gauging of production, over
supplies which are so expensive to the
industry will be eliminated.
The range cattle producing sections
and the coast markets have not felt
! the depression to the extent that tbs
eastern markets have. Not on &C.
count Of any theoretical marketing
schemes, but due to the fact that
these sections produce largely the
common and medium grades of cattle
which have not suffered through thu
excessive number of cattle on feed il
the middle west, but rather have
profited from this through the stimu
lated demand for half fat or medium
beef animals for feeding purposes.

NNHNRNNNNNNH Observation-Disclosures

A. K. Stanton of Logan had Il
acres Of oats which threshed go
bushels, an average of 55 bushels to
the acre. From 120 acres Of wild
grass meadow he cut $50 tons of hay
and from four acres Of alfalfa, which
he moved twice.. he has IL tons of
hay. He says he could NOW the al
falfa again but concluded to turn his
calves in on it. Mr.. Stanton thinks
that alfalfa is the finest hay in the
world for milk COWS. He says he has
fed cows on it in the winter and they
have kept up their milk in quantity
and richness as well as if they were
on green grass. Calves pastured on
it after weaving never fall off a par
ticle in flesh.

The New Elevator

The new grain elevator at the de-
pot is progressing favOrably toward
completion, the walls being up and
the roof nearly finished. Work was
delayed on it for some time because
of the financial panic; otherwise it
would have been finished and ready
for the reception Of grain nearly a
month ago. But as harvesting and
threshing has been retarded for sew
eral weeks by the recent u~nprecedent-
ed and unreasonable storm, the ne7S
elevator will come into good play for
this years crops.

A Surprise to All Acquainted With

Topel Bros, merchant tailors and

Monday morning for the benefit of
their creditors to George L. Ramsey.
The stock Of goods is estimated to be

tiles, as given in the papers of as
signment, are $10,066.7S. The mem
bers Of the firm are known as indus

tirely too large a stock for such times
