Crop prospects this year are not as
good as the average and in some
crops, especially oats, the outlook is
very poor, according to the general
opinion expressed at the regular
monthly meeting of the board of di-
rectors of the Land OLakes Cream
cries, incorporated, held August 18th,
at the association headquarters in
Minneapolis. The directors repre-
sent districts all over the state and
one district in Wisconsin.
There is immediate need of rain I'M
less serious injury is done to the po-
tato crop, especially that part of the
acreage planted late. If a heavy
rain comes, potatoes will be fair, but
not as good as was expected. The
forage and hay crops, including al
falfa, have been fair to good; the
second crop of alfalfa not as good as
expected, and there is little prospects
of third crop. Spring wheat is
about one half less; oats not one
half; barley and rye, fair; and winter
wheat, fair to good. The pastures
are getting very light and in many
cases farmers are beginning feeding.
Corn is more than three weeks late,
with little prospects of anything but
silage corn. In some places early
frosts have already done little dam
age.
Many different views were ex-
pressed. among those H. r. Berg,
director of District No. 2, Rush City,
Chisago county, stated: "The forage
crops have been good; the wheat is
about one-half crop, some oats is
fairly good, but the rust has hurt a
considerable portion of 1t. Barley
and rye are good. the rye especially
good; corn is very backward and
farmers are not expecting very much
from it. Potatoes are not as good
as was expected. The pastures are
dry" ~"
E. M. Rosenberg, director of Dis
trict No. Z, Todd county, said: "The
forage crops and hay are good There
is very little wheat raised. OF what
lu0I6 Is, Iu0I0 Is dDOut OuS-lldlI
crop. The barley and rye are fair;
oats about one-half; corn three weeks
late, the pastures are very poor.
Some of the farmers are beginning to
feed"
Three members of delegation
from the Pine City-Hinckley district
made report similar to that of the
other directors. S. A. Striegl of Pine
City, said that the situation was about
the same as Mr.. Berg, director from
the district recorded, and that pota-
toes were suffering badly from want
of rain. A light frost has ruined
some of the corn.
A. G. Larson of Brunswick, said that
hay was good land oats is poor, and
had been much damaged by the black
rust The corn is very poor and
farmers do not expect any ripe ears.
Geo. Wallick of Hinckley, said that
grain was about the same as it al
ready had been reported. The crop
of timothy and clover seed is going
to be very good. Rain is necessary
at once if there is going to be fair
crop of potatoes. Prospects right
now are, that the potato crop will be
light.

Uncharted Lake

lake, uncharted, ana so Tar as known
never before seen by white men, was dis
covered recently by forest service men
north of the Rattlesnake valley, lust out
side the boundaries of the Missoula ma
tiOnal forest. K. D. Swan and G. I. Por-
ter, forest service officials were the first
to see the new lake, and the body of
water later was investigated by a party
sent there for that purpose.
The investigating party travelled the
Rattlesnake road to where it ended at
Franklin ranger station, and then hiked
10 miles over the ko-Rattlesnake di-
vide into the headwaters of the JOcko.
The forest service trail ended there, but
following a faint, old trail used by In
dians, the fOresters came upon the lake
a body Of water approximately a mile
long and half mile wide.
There are six unsurveyed sections just
north of the Missoula forest boundary
forest service officials said The United
States geological survey, through there
some time ago, charted a small lake close
to Mcleod peak, but the newly-discov-
cred body of water is between three anC
four miles northeast of the peak, forest
service men say. The lake is at an alti-

serious problems: How to reOrganize

sufficient size to be worth while for stock

sections so that grazing lands may be

Everything on the train and all parts
OF the program arranged to go with it

plication to the conditions in the parts
of Montana visited. The one object of

It has been demonstrated that Montana
cattle of the right kind are eagerly
sought after for middlewestern feed lots.
Very recently there has been an effort to
! encourage the direct shipment OF feeder
cattle from farms and ranches OF Mon
tana direct to the corn belt feeders. The |
present custom is for the Montana pro-
! ducers to ship to terminal markets and
| for feeders to go to the terminals to buy
up what they need, procedure which
entails unnecessary commission charges
and extra transportation costs. DrecC
buying and shipment should be to the
advantage of both producer and feeder
The part of the state visited by the
livestock special contains one Of the most
, famous cattle wintering grounds in the
country, the Big Hole Basin. In this sec
! ton from 5000 to $4,000 head of cattle
! are fed every winter, the feed being
I largely the native wild hay produced
I there. It is striking indication OF the
! that the cattle from the Big Hole have
nation wide reputation for quality on
the big markets Of the country.
s The problems Of public grazing lands
also are important. AT the a8r1Culbura1
economic conference for western Mon
tana held at Missoula last winter it was
brought out that many thousands Of
head Of sheep are shipped into public
reserves allowed to feed on the nutritive
Montana grasses and shipped to market
in prime condition in the fall. Range
which might well be utilized by Montana
stockmen is being grabbed up by those
from out OF the state. Stock so shipped
in arrives after the assessor has made
his rounds and are moved on to market
before he comes around again The sys-
tenn appears to be entirely within the
bounds of legality but it cannot be said
that it has any advantage for the stock
men Of Montana or the people as q
whole.
These are some OF the problems Of the
stocKmen and farmers Of southern Mon
tana as pointed out by Mr.. Wadden ano
some of the reasons why the livestock
special train and the local livestock day
programs are OF outstanding significance
to Montana. These too are the reasons
why every town and city on the traiT

Ships $1,OOOsOOO
Worth of Sheep

Shipping OF sheep has reached the
highest point in western Montana that
it has seen for a number Of years, ac-
cording to railroad traffic agents. More
than 100 carloads of sheep have already
gone to the eastern markets from the
territory between Elliston ana Deer Lodge
and west to Sanders county.
According to sheepmen, more than ST.
600 900 worth of sheep will go from the
wetsern Montana district to the eastern
markets this fall. The shipments which
are being made at this time to Chicago
and Omaha are from Drummond, Deer
Lodge. Hamilton, Darby, Rivulet, Arlee,
Helena, Avon and the Flathead.
At the same time large shipments of
ewes, which grazed in Montana this year.
are being shipped back to Washington
for the winter. Seventy-five cars Of sheep
are included in the lot which is being
returned west.
Hugh Kelley, AGissoula sheep dealer,
has shipped 1000 head east already this
fall, and during the next few weeks will
ship 1000 more.
