IMPROVING FINANCIAL CONDITIONS ARE
SHOWN BY STATE TAX BOARD FIGURES

Enthusiastically optimistic
deductions as to improving financial
conditions in Montana are made by
the state board of equalization on the
basis of the first complete record of
county Indebtedness, just compiled
from reports collected by the board.
The figures show that actual county
indebtedness is decreasing steadily
and that the same is true of school
district Indebtedness, while the total
increases shown in a number of coun-
ties are directly chargeable to de-
velopment measures-irrigation and
drainage districts.
Total county Indebtedness, includ-
ing debts of school districts and irri-
cation and drainage concerns, as well
as actual county debt, has decreased
in 80 counties since 1928 and in 81
during the last year with increases
for the last 12 months in only nine,
and comparative figures for 1925 uE-
available in the remainder.
Indebtedness involving only county
administrative expense has been de-
creased in Al counties during the last
year, the tables show. Comparative
figures for 1925 are Unavailable for
IL counties. Since 1928, 48 counties
have decreased this type of debt. The
total net Indebtedness of all counties
on June 80, 1926, was $23, ,588, sos, q
decrease of $4,119,844 from the total
in 1923. These county totals vary
greatly ranging from $23,866 in Bea-
verhead county to $2,04S,301 in Fer
gus county.
School districts during the same
period howed a decrease of 81, ,O86, ,361
to $10,53S,807, the total on June 80
1926. Thirty-six counties participat-
ed in this reduction while at least 81
show a reduction since 1925, and 1C
counties failed to report comparative
figures for that year.
In 1923, only 10 counties reported
Indebtedness for drainage and irriga
tion districts. Nine additional coun
ties reported such indebtedness the
following year. There was one NOR,
in 1925 and this year the number
stood at 90, with a total of $7,587,
379. One county alone reported nev
bonds Of this type amounting to SO,
100000 to offset a decrease in gen
eral and school district indebtedness

One Of the striking evidences Of
/. Americas rapid rise toward CONNER
cial and industrial leadership Of the
world, Is the Panama Canal, will al
most certainly handle more freight in
1926 than will Suez. For several years
the two canals have been in a neck
and neck competition whose implica-
tlOns are the more interesting be-
cause the Panama ditch is owned by
the American Government, and that
at Suez by the British Government.
OF course both Canals are open to
the ships of all nations; and the
competition between them is not only
between the United States and Brit
ain, but in a larger and even more
significant view it is competition be-
tween old world and new world.
When the Panama Canal was open
ed in 1915, Suez was already transit
ing about 5,000, Gee tohs Of freight
annually. Almost nobody believed
Panama could ever attract anything
approaching such a volume. But dur
ing the war fear Of German subma-
rines in the Mediterranean caused
many vessels to take the Panama
route between the far east and Eu-
ropean or American ports. This gave
| Panama its introduction and it has
not only held but greatly increased
its business since the war. In 1923
( Panama transited 5037 vessels,
against 1921 for Suez; Panama han
died 25,16O,0OO cargo tons against 22,-
10000 for Suez. This was the first
I year Of Panama's lead.
A Close Race
The following year Suez barely ex,
ceeded Panama's tonnage; and in
1925 comfortably held it's lead. But
reports for 1926 to date indicate that
Suez is losing, owing to Britain's in.
dustrial depression, while Panama is
doing better and is pretty certain to
resume the lead.
The present Suez Canal has been
in operation nearly sixty years, Pan
anna only eleven. Although few Deo
pie except antiquarians knew it, the
first canal at Suez was built more
than 5000 years ago. 1t was in op

PROPER FEEDS FOR
! FATTENING CATTLE

Cottonseed meal may be used profit
ably in the fattening of beef cattle for
market, and only fat cattle will pay
returns to the feeder.
Elm feeding beef cattle, we must
take advantage of certain facts then
give attention to the Details says
Prof. r. s. Curtis of the animal hus-
bandry department at the North Caro-
lima State college. "One of these facts
Is that the staple fattening food for
beef cattle is heterogeneous one which
normally produces growth rather than
fat But this cottonseed meal is a
good fat producer if fed properly, and
from Is to So per cent of its fertiliz-
ing value is incorporated in the ma
nure. The other fact is that to sell
beef cattle profitably, they must be
fat
u Professor Curtis states that people
do not like fat beef and sometimes
compel the butcher to trim off part
OF the fat; yet, the fact remains that
to properly condition beef animal, he
must be fat, and naturally there is
some surplus deposited in certain
places, as over the back, the loins,
ribs and intestines. This is natures
way.
steer may be put in condition by
using cottonseed meal as the concen-
trate. The steer must never be al
lowed to get off feed but should be
started off on one pound of cottonseed
meal per day, supplemented by all the
roughage he will consume. Professor
Curtis points out that cattle have four
stomachs, and if they are to get ev-
erything out of their feed, there must
be sufficient amount of roughage to
I'LL the paunch reasonably full each
day.
: Professor Curtis suggests that one
pound of cottonseed meal be used
with five pounds of bulls or more to
start with. Gradually increase this
amount of cottonseed meal during a
3O-day period until each animal is get
ting one pound of the meal to each
100 pounds of live weight. This can
easily be figured out and the increase
made gradually about two or three
times each week until the full amount
is being fed. Steers should be fed
twice each day ana the troughs kept
clean and sweet.
