Secretary J. Burke Clements Of
the Montana state fair announces
that the management of the fair
has engaged the Mines band of
Butte, the most famous band OF
the western United States, to play
at the state fair four days OF the
annual exposition, according to
Mr.. Clements, and the public Was
so tremendously pleased with it
that it was decided to have the or
g~anizatiOn for the entire six days.
The Montana state fair will open
on labor day and already the officers
of the institution have received as
surances that a larger number of
counties than participated last year
will send agricultural exhibits to the
show. Gallatin county is notable
among those that are to compete fol-
the $500 county collective prize. The
latest mail has brought the infOrma-
ton from Glasgow that the county
commissioners of Valley county have
appropriated a sufficient sum to gel
together an excellent exhibit for the
state fair. This exhibit will be IL
charge of Louis Weigel who prepared
the products Of that county for the
fair Of 1925.

Tom Bushel Returns to Treasure
State Confident That This Country

Raising crops on $500 acre land

during this present season where
the rain guage at Hastings records
q total snowfall and rainfall of
only GOA inches sinCe January 4,

WibaUx who has been in Nebraska
for the greater part of the year.
Commenting on conditions else
where, Mr.. Bushe1 says that the gov
eminent crop report shows that the
average wheat yield per acre in three
counties in Nebraska, where the land
values run high, some as high as
S2OO per acre, for this year is five
bushels in Adams county, four bush
els in Phelps county and six bushels
in Kearney county.
These three counties, says Mr..
Mr.. Bushel, are considering a tri-
county irrigation project and a re-
port of the survey made by. govern

shows that out Of the Platte river

lands, is doing better with a bigge.

Mr.. Bushel, who makes a comparison
with these Nebraska counties show

Machine Designed
by Falls Minister
to be Given Trial

Henry Ford, Detroit automobile
manufacturer, has submitted to the
Rev. I. Matt Thompson of Great
Falls, an offer to test out a tiller
for pIOWs which was invented by
the minister. Other m%anufactuF-
ing concerns have manifested an
interest in the invention and the
Rev. Mr.. Thompson will confer
with them befOra he decides Whe-
theP to accept the offer of Mr.. Ford.
The invention is a tiller attach
ment, with which, it is claimed,
blowing can be done to a greater
and with less power than is
the case with the ordinary plOW.
The tiller is the %OutgrOwth Of a
made of plows by the Rev. Mr..
Thompson when he was living on a
homestead in North Dakota. Expert
encing difficulty with his pIOw, he
began a number Of experiments
which led to the invention that has
interested Ford and other manufac-
turers.

Dairy Development Makes
Rapid Strides Inn Montana
FrOm the Montana State COIege.)

(FrOm the Montana State College,
w YITH one county in Montana
NN producing enough cheese to
w supply the needs Of the states
entire population. J.. A. Nelson,
in charge of dairy manufacturing
at the Montana State college points
out that there is a real dairy deVel-
ment taking place in the Treasure
State. Mr.. Nelson is visiting prac-
tically every important dairy sec
ton in the state this summer, con-
ferring with managers of dairy man
%ufacturing plants in the Extension
Service campaign to improve the
dairy products of the state. This
campaign started last summer and al
ready. MI. Nelson notes material
improvement in creamery products as
a result of the hearty cooperation of
the managers of creameries and
cheese factories.
The Bitter Root Valley, one Of the
greatest dairy centers in the state,
typically illustrates the progress that
is taking place, according to Mr..
Nelson. There are three cheese fac
tories in operation in this southwest
ern valley of Montana, using a total
Of more than $4,000 pounds Of milk
per day. One of the factories, the
one at Corvallis, is said to be the
largest cheese factory in the United
States and is now using $4,000
pounds Of milk daily. During the
height of the season it has used as
high as $4,000 pounds of milk daily.
The other two factories, one at
Victor and the other at Florence, are
using $4,000 and 5000 pounds of
milk daily for the manufacture of
cheese. The daily output Of cheese
from these three factories is more
than 5000 pounds. The factories
are operated by One Of the largest
cheese manufacturing corporations in
the world which uses the western
Montana output to supply it's Pacific
coast markets.
Taking into consideration the US
ual seasonal fluctuations it is estim-
ated that the three Bitter Root fac
tories will use more han 100000
pounds of milk during the present
year and will place approximately l.
100000 pounds of cheese on the mar
kets.
While the Bitter Root has but one
creamery, this n establishment
manufactured approximately 100000
pounds of butter in 1925 and it is
expected that the production this
year will reach the 100000 pound
mark. During the month of June
this creamery produced 25 per cent
more butter than during the CORES
pOnding month last year. While the
volume of production is expanding,
the high standards of quality which
have characterized the butter from
the Bitter Root in the past also are
being raised. At the present time ap-
prOximately tWO-thirds of the butter
sold from this plant is marked "spec-
ial grade" and brings a premium over
ordinary butter.
In all the butter and cheese fac
