Labor's

IS Per Cent Increase In Steel.
The department holds that because
1914 was a year of depression the so
worker in the iron and steel industry
is probably an, exaggeration. 1t says:
In an industry so sensitive to good
and bad times as the iron and steel
industry, there is need for caution in
drawing comparisons between depres-
sion and prosperity years, since there
is in the figures no adequate adjust
ment for changes in man hours due
to changes in business conditions"
The drop in 1919 reflects the steel
strike and that in 1921 the severe de-
preston. Comparing the average of
1924 and 1925 with the average of 1914
and 1915 the department figures that
rs per cent would be fair figure for
the increased productivity OF labor in
the interval.
The department sees similar exag-
geration in the 210 per cent increase
shown for the automobile industry.
Taking the prosperity year 1915 as a
base instead of the depression year
1914, it finds that by 1925 labor's pro-
ductivity in the industry increased 81
per cent. 1t says: obviously, the
Standardization of processes, the in
vention OF machines, and the improve.
ment in management in this industry
during the decade have resulted in a
remarkable increase in the produc-
tivity of labor"

Of another cathoIlc prince.

Of another catholic prince.
Macmillan became Emperor of
Mexico, kept in power for five years
by French troops.
The Mexican people never submit
ted. Juarez. the constitutionally elect
ed president, kept up a constant guer-
rila struggle. Severe defeats were in
ficted upon the French soldiery, and
these together with the expense, and
the threatened complications from the
United. States, caused Napoleon to
withdraw his armies in January 1866.
Maximilian's ill-starred empire was
overthrow soon after.
Again in the contemporary revolu-
tionary period the church sought to
base itself on foreign support. In.
stances of this have already been
given in previous articles-notably its
, share in the bloody dictatorship OF
Victoriano Huerta and dts support OF
Adolfo de la Huerta's attempted coun.
ter-revolution.
Such is the record Of the church
At the present time Mexico has a more
more serious and more resolute enemy
than ever in the past-the imperial
ism of the United States, eager for
Mexico's resources and anxious to find
reactionary centers of support within
the coveted Mexican territory. In this
situation, the attitude of the church
is following the traditional lines OF
treachery to the interests of the re.
public.
obregon's statement, referred to
above, calls attention to the fact that
the clerical outbreak comes at a time
when imperialist pressure against
Mexico is at its height, and goes on
to say that this is no coincidence.
The church is up to its old tricks.

FARMERS UNITE

PLENTYWOOD, Mont, Aug. A.
The fight between the land grabbers
and the farmers in Northeastern Mon
tana came to a sort of climax when
the farmers of Raymond, "castor-oiled"
Oscar Collins, former sheriff of Sheri-
dan Comfy who tried TO take pos
session of the farm of Melvin Gran
rud for the Farmers & Merchants
State Bank of New Ulm, MINI.
Collins, agent for Mckee, a motor
ious land shark of this section, with
the aid of writ of assistance issued
by the henchman of these vultures,
Judge Leiper, went to the premises of
Granrud and told him to move off, be-
fore the period of redemption on his
mortgage was up.
Aided by Farmers.
He was met by a group of about
60 farmers who accosted Collins,
stating that he had no right to dis
possess them Of their land. The an
swer of Collins was that he was rep
resenting Mckee, and his actions were
strictly in pursuance of the law. One
of the farmers, U. G. Farmhouse took
him up on this, and stated there was
no such law allowing land to be taken
from the owners in this manner.
Give Him Castor OIL.
Collins was about to withdraw, but
the crowd told him they had little
drink to give him. So, as Collins
later stated, in his affidavit to the dis
trict court, where he is now taking up
the matter, the mob, violently,
wrongfully and unlawfully assaulted"
him. They also did "thereupon
bruise, beat and batter this af1lant, and
exhibited to this afiant certain long
rope, and told him that he had better
get off those lands and go back to
Plentywood." Before releasing this
afiant the mob forced into the per-
son and system of this afiant, to his
great physical discomfort and injury,

affidavit.

Production Tripled.
eve are at the present time" says
the department, experiencing what is
perhaps the most remarkable advance
in productive efficiency in the history
of the modern industrial system. In
the automobile industry the output
per man in 1925 was three times as
great as it was in 1914, an almost in
credible increase in productivity in an
industry which had attained, even be-
fore 1914, high state of efficiency"
Taking the same period the depart
ment shows that output per man has
increased nearly so per cent in iron
and steel. II per cent in boots and
shoes and 81 per cent in paper and
pulp. 1t points out that these fig
ures, surprising as they are, cover
only about 10 years.
Speed Up.
In working out its figures for pro-
ductivity the department has taken
full account of the changes in hours
per week in the various industries
since 1914. These include the elimi-
nation of the 12-hour day in steel in
1923, a decrease from "a to so hours
per week in the auto industry between
1914 and 1919, a decrease from SIS to So
hours in the boot and shoe industry
and from 5S1a to So hours week in
paper and pulp.
The year to year changes in the pro-
ductivity per man-hour of workers IN
the iron and steel and automobile in
dustries appear in the following per-
centage figures based on 1914 as 100
per cent:

RECEIVES $4,27S
FOR TURKEY CROP
CHOUTEAU FARMER SELLS HIS
FLOCK OF 1900 HOLI-
DAY BIRDS
Won bennington Raises Turkey Meat
on Bigger Scale than Most Ranch
ers; Herds Them just Like Sheep
on a Big Range

Won bennington of Kershaw, who prob
ABLY grows turkeys on a larger scale
than any other Montana farmer, a few
days ago delivered his 1926 crOD Of birds
at Fort Benton and received therefor a
check from the Northern Creamery COM
pany of Great Falls for S4,258. Eight
hundred and f~ifty-siX turkeys were de-
1Vered in the lot, most of them Of ton
quality. The top price received by the
grower was 427@ cents a pound.
Mr.. LenningtOn's delivery was from n
flock of 1,2G0 turkeys, he having run that
many during the summer. 1t is more cor
rect to say that he herded them, for it is
understood by Mr.. Gilmartin, manager Of
the creamery company, that that is his
method of handling the birds during the
foraging and fattening seasons. Turkey
raising on the bennington farm is a seri-
GUS business. He goes about it with every
detail of the summers work carefully
planned in advance, and with preparations
MADE for meeting any emergency that may
arise.
The bennington turkeys made up the
most valuable lot of birds ever marketed
in Montana by one grower, so far as Mr..
Gilmartin knows On former years and
this fall large lots have been received from
single farms, but nothing approaching the
bennington turkey crop in value. A year
or two ago, a lot containing nearly as
many birds was received in northern Mon
tana by the Northern Creamery company,
but the quality was very much below that
round in the bennington turkeys. That was
because the grower had been unable ia
handle a large flock of turkeys, with the
facilities available, pursuant to methods
that would permit the birds to mature ia
advantage.
The bennington turkey farm has &C.
quired considerable fame during the last
year. Reports have been received in Great
Falls frequently of 1000 birds being ranged
there under a system Of herding that evi
IDENTIFY was being demonstrated with com
plete success. Approximately 400 birds wer,
kept out of the 1926 crop by the owner a.
breeding stock for next year and with
normal season the number marketed will
exceed that of the present year.

FrOm the Montana State COIIege)

From the Montana SGaOc COno8cJ
"HE bad reputation of hte maybe
is chifley due to his carnivOrOus
H appetite. This desire for meat
leads the birds to feed upon living
creatures. Stock is attacked when
they are sick and weak, at branding
time or whenever they have open
sores. Often large holes are pecked
into an animal, greatly annoying it
and sometimes causing death. Mag
pies are troublesome also about pOul-
try yards where their raids result in
the destruction of nests, young cur
KEYS and chickens. In like manner
they are enemies of insect-eating
birds and game fowl. AS a result,
the maybe is considered a nuisance
and the emey of farmers, stockmen
and spOrtsmen.
The most favorable time to conduct
poisoning campaigns against the magpie
is during the winter when the birds are
hard pressed for food. The most effective
time is when there is snow on the ground
and the regular food supply is covered.
Under such conditions it is possible to
take advantage of the birds fOndness for
meat and bring about his destruction with
poisoned bait.
Pork rind bait is often used in killing
magpieS. The fat side of the piece of pork
is SlaShed into small squares and the sur
face sprinkled with s%trychnine alkalOid at
the rate of about One-eighth ounce per
square foot. The bait should be hung in
trees or on poles or roofs, out of the way
of dogs, cats and other domestic animals.
After it is left hanging for five or six
days it should be taken down and de-
strOyed.
An excellent bait may be made from
suet, which has the advantage of being
less dangerous to domestic animals. The
suet should be cut into small pieces about
the size of a pea. Strychnine alkalOid
should be mixed with the sUet particles
at the rate Of about One-eigth once to
each quart of bait. A liquid grease made
of equal parts Of lard and tallOw in which
the strychnine is mixed when the grease
is hot and in a liquid state, is also a good
bait. The same proportions of StrychninC
and liquid should be used as when suet
is the base. When the liquid cOOls down
and hardenS it may be cut or broken into
small bits.
Poisoned bats prepared in this way
may be placed on the tops of fence posts
corral poles, roofs or any out of the way
places frequented by birds. One of the
best ways of exposing the bait is to bore
twO-inch holes in a piece of ~twO-by-fOul
about six feet long and press the bait
rather firmly into these holes. The two
by-fOur may be nailed to posts, roofs OF
trees.l
often magpies may be attracted t.
poisoned bait by placing a dead rabbit Of
Offal from a butchered animal near it
Sometimes the birds may be attracted Il
a certain place by sprinkling a little un
poisoned suet on the ground for severa
days before the poisoned bait is put out

MABEE EXPLAINS
INSECT CONTROL
FrOm the Montana state COIIege)

(FrOm the Montana State COllege)
HERE are little flies and big
flies, but little flies do not grow
II into big flies, says W. Bruce
Mabee, extension entOmologist at
Montana State college. When the
six-legged, twO-winged fly appears
he is not a "baby" but a fuIl-grown,
mature member of the fly family. He
does not OUtgrOw his clothes. The
warm wardrobe with which he is
equipped when he makes his appear
ance stays with him until he dies.
Thus the couplet:
He tolls not, neither does he spin.
For the clothes he's born with are the
ones he dies in,
is very appropriate to the fly.
Many other insects are like the fly,
says Mr.. Mabee. hey have four distinct
periods in their life histories; first the
egg, then the larva, called the maggOt
in the case Of the fly, then the pupa or
rest stage in which the insect goes through
the changes in form which result in the
final or adult stage.
Other insects, like the grasshOpper, do
not have this complete life cycle. When
the egg matches a small undevelOped grass
hopper spoken of as a nymph, appears.
The nymph grows, sheds it's skin several
times and finally develops into a mature
grasshOpper. 1t is said to have three
stages in its life history, egg, nymph and
adult.
These facts are important to farmers
and others who are often concerned with
means of fighting insects to combat their
destructive habits. Insects that have a
complete life history ordinarily eat little
and do little damage in their adult stage.
In their larval stage, when they resemble
worms, they do most of their eating and
growing. 1t is in this stage when potato
bugs, cutwOrms, wire worms, cOddling
moth, cabbage moth and many others dc
their damage. In the case of such incests
a campaign directed against the adults is
another case Of locking the barn after the
horse is stolen.
Insects which have an incomplete life
cycle, like the grasshOpper, do most Of
their feeding in the nymph stages. After
they reach full growth and maturity they
eat little and ordinarily do little damage
he best time to wage war against sucf
insects is during the egg stage or t.
poison them right after the eggs hatch

As a result of a small kill during the
hunting season, the sun river elk herd
north of the BlackfOOt valley west Of
Great Falls, is now considerably over
its capacity, E. III. Myrick, supervisor Of
the Lewis and Clark forest, states.
But $50 elk were killed in the vicinity
of the Sun river preserve this fall, and but
20 per cent of the hunters were successful.
There was little snow and the game stayed
on the preserve during the open season, the
hunting being especially poor the last two
weeks. In 1925 the kill was $50 head.
Starting with between 200 and 300 head
in 1910, the Sun river herd has grown to
approximately 1900 head, Supervisor Ny
rick states. The herd ranges on 100000
acres of land set aside as a preserve by the
government in 1913. This area has a carry
ing capacity Of but 5000 hesd Of elk and
if the herd exceeds that number to any
great extent, the animals may have diff
Guilty in finding enough forage to survive
the winter season. Special provision has
been made in setting aside 1000 acres to
be used for winter feed.
Supervisor Myrick is moving the first
of the year from ChOteau, the headquarters
of the Levi and Clark forest, to the st.
Joe forest, succeeding Roy Phillips, who
has been assigned to district headquarters.

In such cases poisoned bait may be
|sprinkled on the ground where there is no
danger that other animals will get at it.
Dead and dying birds should be removed
from the vicinity of the poisoned bait so
that other birds will not be alarmed.
In conducting any poisoning operations
it is necessary to remember that there is
an element of danger in the distribution
of bait. The bait must be kept out of
reach of children, irresponsible persons and
domestic animals.
