Montana Holstein
Makes World Record

Helena, May A Montana
Holstein COW, Pleasant Grove
Snowflake, owned by the j. H.
Hofstetter Holstein farm, of Lew
istown, Montana, has made a
worlds record in subdivision B
(three time milking) mature
class; with a production of 49,
1857 pounds of milk and 613.022
pounds of butter fat, according to
G. A.. Norris, chief of the Dairy
Division, State Department of Ag-
riculture.
A great deal of credit for
bringing this fame to our state,
is due the Hofstetter Holstein
farm, for it takes a good COW to
make such a record and it is an
indication of what we may expect
in Montana when our developing
dairy industry hits its proper
stride. Montana now has two
worlds champion dairy cows to
her credit.

crops this year is very good and
unless 1926 establishes itself as
the driest year since 1867 there
is no cause to believe that a good
crop will not be realized.
Penetration tests made with a
soil auger in representative fields
throughout the county show that
corn ground and summer fallow
and laid-over breaking there is
plenty of moisture to thirty-six
inches depth. In stubble land it
goes down to twenty inches and
that in the non-tilled prairie land
it is getting dry for breaking.
With the better titled and undam-
aged land where seed was planted
in moisture there is plenty or re
serve and the best assurance with
anywhere near a normal year.
Many recent winds have caused
some concern and worry over soil
blowing especially in sections of
the county where the land has
been titled for considerable
length of time. Since this prob
lem becomes of more concern as
the farming country grows older,
experience towards control meth
DDS should be closely observed
and followed to cut down crop
losses.
According to information this
section of Montana is not the only
place that has been concerned
with this problem and from all re-
ports high winds have prevailed
in practically all the wheat and
most of the corn growing states
this year. Close observation and
experience of farmers who have
soil blowing problems
points out that there + two chief
of control methods-frst,
building up soil fibre and second,
by ridge or strip farming. 1t isl

two exist, where there is
