that all potatoes shipped out OF the
state and to large consuming centers
within the state by members of the
association should be- put in uniform
sized bags and branded if possible. y,
Tom Herrin of Helena was re-
elected to his third term as president
of the association. Gerald Dewitt OF
Malta and A. H. Small Of CrestOn
were unanimously chosen first and
second vice presidents. +. M. Har-
ringtOn of BOzeman was renamed.
The 1927 meeting of the associa-
tion will be held at the State college
in BOzeman. 1t was voted that the
sessions would extend through two
days and that they would close with
banquet.
Efforts will be made by the assO-
citation during 1926 to build up
seed stock of the standard varieties.
Experiments have disclosed, it was
reported to the meeting, that not all
certified seed grown in Montana is
of the same quality, and the dele
gates voted to request the state ex-
| pertinent station to disseminate any
information of the tests conducted
and encourage those growers who
are raising seeds that do not measure
up to the best to change over to the
! better strains.
Feeling that shipments Of combin-
alton grades might eventually dis
rupt organized marketing, the con-
ventiOn recommended that only
! United States No. and No. 2 grades
of potatoes of commercial stocks be
put on the markets. The Montana
! Development association was thank
ed for its financial assistance in the
campaign to organize the state seed
in the south. The Butte Chamber Of
! Commerce was commended for its
activity in sponsoring the annual
state potato show at Butte.
1t was decided that the fees for
lceTtificatiOn and seed growing viii
be the same during 1925 that it was
last year. While applications for
membership in the rather select cir
Gle of certified seed growers will not
be turned down, the association de-
lcided unanimously that those from
new growers who plan to put in a
large acreage will be rejected. New
growers, however, will be admitted,
it was voted, if their acreage will be
held to what is considered by the
association to be a reasonable one.
No Montana certified seed is to leave
the state unless it goes out under the
blue inspection tag.

Rates Of Work.
Twenty miles per day, where
the turns are not too frequent, is
considered a good days work for a
big team. The load should not be
too heavy for the team to walk
along with at this rate. It must be
remembered that the standard for a
days work will vary with the size of
the field, the depth of the plOwing,
condition of the animals, etc., but
many big team farmers of the north
west call 20 miles an average days
work. The following are the stan
dards for a days work upon the No
BILE farm:
Three-bOttOm, 14-inch gang plOws,
eight and One-half acres per day.

TREASURE STATE FARM AND LIVESTOCK
Proper Feeding Am Essential i'm Caring
for Work Horses ON Biz Team Farmo

(FrOm the Montana State COllege) :
(This is the 18th of the series
Of big Team articles)
TN USING big teams it is of great
importance that traces of all
Il the horses be at about the same
angle of slope. When drawing the
load, traces should be at right an
giles to the slope of the horses
shoulders. This allows the horse to
throw his weight against the load as
he pulls. If the tugs tend to become
parallel with the horses back, he
cannot pull very much and is apt to
get sore shoulders. Figure 85 shows
the big team starting out and the
traces of the lead horses drawn so
high that they have but little pull
ing power. The driver should weight
the double trees of the lead horses
in such a manner that these traces
will always be at right angles to the
slope of the horses shoulders. A
farmer may have the idea that the
weight Of the hitch requires extra
power to pull it from the ground.
This is not ture providing that the
double-trees are not so heavy that
they drag on the ground, because the
power which has lifted the double
trees is in turn transmitted to the
load. 1t is therefore a decided ad-
vantage to the horses to have heavy

European nations themselves arc be-

WOULD EXPAND
NORMAL COURSE
First Class Work in Agricul-
ture Advocated For Dick
insOn Institution

Expansion of the Dickinson Normal
school to include first class course
in agriculture may be recommended
to the legislature by Joseph A.
Kitchen, commissioners Of agriculture
and labor.
Such an Institution would be of
great benefit to the western part of
the state, Kitchen explained, because
Il would enable students to carry on
under conditions which
western North Dakota farmers actu-
ally face.
Because Of the heavier rainfall in
the. Red River Valley, experiments
carried on ut the agricultural college
mean little to farmers in the western
part of the state because of the diff
ference in rainfall, Kitchen explained.
Fargo has an average rainfall Of more
thaA "a inches, the eastern third Of
the state shows an average Of ID
inches or more while the remainder
Of the state averages less than 10
inches and an appreciable part less
than l6 inches.
The proximity Of the experimental
SUBJ station at Dickinson would enable
the state to add q good agricultural
course to the normal school ut slight
expense, Kitchen said. Under the
state law agriculture now 10 taught in
the state schools but is not stressed.
Only one additional teacher, q man
experienced in agriculture, would be
needed to do the work he has in mind,
Kitchen said. He made it plain that
an expansion at Dickinson would not
in any sense be an effort to organize
q new agricultural college but merely
m effort to make the normal school
and the agricultural substation more
availsble to persons living in the
western part of the state.
