TREASURE STATE
LABOR CONDITIONS.
NOW IMPROVING
Opening up of Farm Work Gre
ates Demand in Various Sec
tiOns; Cities Supplied

Labor conditions in
Montana are improving as farm work
opens up, according to the monthly
statewide survey made by the state
department Of labor. The following IS
a summary Of the reports:
Anaconda reports labor well bal
anced as present, but the usual short
age will prevail when farm work
opens up. Billings has a surplus Of
all kinds of laborers. Butte is well
balanced. Dillon labor is balanced
but expect to be able to place a large
number of farm labOrers within the
next 80 days. East Helena will need
a few men for smelter work, when
farm work begins-men between ages
Of 20 and 40 preferred. Great Falls
reports labor situation we'll balanced
with no surplus Of men. Livingston
can place 10 good mixers at once,
wages $50 per month, and can use
so good farm hands about the middle
Of April. Miles City can place 25
good farm hands Immediately, wages
$45 to $50, and within the next 80
days can place 40 farm laborers at
the above wages. Missoula can place
10 to Is farm hands Immediately, at
$45 to $50, and weather conditions
permitting, men will soon be in de-
mand for road work. The Lumber
mans Information bureau at Missoula
can place any experienced wOOdsmer
who apply.
Conrad is asking that 80 to 40 farm
hands be sent to that district. 1t /;
suggested, however, that before going
to Conrad, applicants communicat;
either with Blaine Ferguson, county
agent at Conrad, or the state depart
ment Of labor.

GOOD seed IS AN IMPORTANT ITEM
In INCREASING YIELD OF POTATOES

A progressive corn farmer does not
plant the nubbins left in his crib af-
ter he has fed or sold the bulk Of
his crop during the winter. He has
long since learned The value of good
seed corn. The same farmer, on the
other hand, does not always use
equally good Judgment in selecting
seed for his potato patch. Too Of
ten he plants the culls and inferior
potatoes which are left in the bin
after the good ones have been sold
or eaten. He has not learned the
value of good seed potatoes.
"The first requirement in good
seed potatoes" says William Stuart,
potato specialist of the United States
department Of agriculture, els that
they be as free as possible from dis
ease, at least of those diseases which
can not be destroyed through treat
ment in either the hot or cold cor
rosive sublimate or formalin solu-
tons" Good seed, he says, must also
possess good vigor, high productive
capacity, and be true to name and to
type of variety. While such factors
as the preparation Of the land, its fer
tilization, the proper spacing of the
seed pieces, and the cultural care CIV
en- the growing crop have an impor-
tant bearing on the yield, none, he
says, is of such prime importance as
the character Of the seed.
Perhaps the best way for the av-
erage farmer potato grower to be as
sured of good seed is to purchase
certified seed" There is abundant
evidence that certified seed is i'm
proved seed, and that it will yield
much more than common or uncerti-
fled seed. Reports to the Departments
from a number of experiment sta
tons in the United States and Can.
ada, based on 1927 tests show ar
actual increase of 46.4 bushels pei
acre for certified seed over uncerti
fled seed. Individual tests showed
an increase of as much as 219 bushels
per acre by the use of certified seed
Increased yield is not the only fav
orable result from the use of sucl
seed, says Mr.. Stuart. The crop from
good seed will invariably grade I
higher per cent of No. 1 stock thar
will that from poor seed. The diff
ference may often be so great as 2
per cent, but even if it should be OnE,
10 per cent it materially enhances tn
value Of good seed.

FEWER Grade CROSSINGS.

Two hundred and f~ifty-nine railroad
grade crossings were eliminated in
the construction Of federal-aid roals
in 1925, bringing the total elimina-
tions to 1880, according to the bureau
Of public roads of the United States
department Of agriculture. This is
the result of the policy Of eliminating
grade crossings wherever practicable
adopted by the bureau and the state
highway departments. Eight hundred
and seventy-four of the examinations
have been made by relocating high
ways so as to avoid crossings, while
the remainder have been eliminated
by underpasses and overhead eros
sings.

by becoming members of real estate
boards, the San Antonio Real Estate
Board. under the leadership of Char
ley Rush, executive secretary, and l..
II. Fife, chairman of the membership
committee, is launching the greatest

AID PUBLIC, REALTOR.
The National Association of Rea:
Estate Boards of which the San An.
tonic Real Estate Board is a member,
has been instrumental in bringing
about certain measures, legislative and
otherwise, for the good OF realtors
and the public as a whole.
Recently the National Association
advocated the elimination of certain
measures in the proposed revenue law
which would work a serious hardship
on installment sales. General Nathan
William Mac Chesney. general coun.
sci for the association, representing
some $4,000 realtors of America, went
before committees Of Congress and
succeeded in having these provisions
eliminated.
This, according to Mr.. Fite, is the
greatest accomplishment of the year
by the National Association of Real
Estate Boards. 1t not only concerns
the realtor but it means that the gen.
eral public has been rendered a real
service, he says.
