Old Taylor Ranch
I'm Blaine County
Sold fer $5O.OOO

From buying seed grain in 1928 to
closing a deal for a stock ranch for
$4,000, was the experience of Max
jess, a young farmer of Blaine county.
The deal was made by Duff & Duff, real
estate brokers, Chinook, and comprises
approximately 1900 acres Of land, known
sthe late Senator L. B. Taylor ranch,
and owned for the last two years by L. N.
Runyan, a well known stockman of the
Bear Paw mountains. The ranch is con-
sidered one fthe best in the mountains,
and Mr.. Jess expects to not only go into
the stock business, but expects to con-
tinue farming. He will have all Of 1000
acres under cultivation in 1923.
Mr.. Jess has a harvester and all Of the
most improved machinery with which to
farm. This year he raised a 15,OO0-bushel
crop, and has 200 acres of summer fallow
land waiting for spring seeding. He was
the first farmer to advocate combines in
Blaine county, and now there are is.
Mr.. Jess is enthusiastic over possibil-
tiles offered in Montana. With attractive
stock prices, he decided to take up both
stock and crop raising. With improved
machinery, he farms on a big scale and
yet does not have to devote as much time
to 1t as do others.

SUGAR FACTORY
AT. WHITEHALL
CONSTRUCTION OF PLANT WITHIN
NEXT TWO YEARS is PREDICTED
BY ANIALGAMATED AGENT
Business Men Backing Experiments
Which are Expected to Rehabilitate In
dustry in That Section; 600 Acres AL
ready Contracted for There

Construction of a sugar factory at
Whitehall within the next two years
has been predicted by NJ. b. Sullivan,
field representative of the Amalgamated
Sugar company, which is putting in
factory at MissOula. Plans for sugar
beet growing in the Whitehall district
are going forward rapidly and large
acreage is expected next year as the
result of the actiGn of the energetic,
public-Spirited business men of White
hall who are backing experiments with
their own funds in the interest Of their
home district. These men, who are in
vesting their capital to prove their
ideas, have already brought about a
condition that will result in the dis
tributiOn of not less than $4,000 next
year in the Whitehall district as re-
suit of sugar beet culture, it is stated.
The business men Of Whitehall, to
show their faith in the growth of sugar
beets in the area surrounding their home
town, have entered into a compact to
purchase necessary machinery and hire
the necessary help to plant, cultivate and
market 100 acres of beets each year for
the next three years. The crop will be
grown on a 320-acre ranch in the valley
The necessary contracts for this work
have been signed and the fall plowing is
already under way.
The effect of the business mems action
is stated to be already manifest in q
most encouraging way. The announce
ment is made that in the past few days
nearly 600 acres of beets have been con-
tracted for around Whitehall and that
500 acres more are to be signed up neal
Manhattan.
The representatives OF the Amalga-
mated Sugar company have given the
beet-growing proposal every encourage
ment. The agricultural superintendent
Of 11n ffCgnnffTTt1
has given approval to the plans Of the
business men and the farmers. This
means that the company will erect sugar
beet dumps at Cardwel, Whitehall
Waterloo and Manhattan to take care o!
next years crop.
Much praise is being given the White
hall business men for their efforts to re-
habilitate the Whitehall sugar factory

cation is incorporated and a board o
directors has been chosen.

COLLEGE STEERS
BRING TOP PRICE
(From Montana State ColIege)
20 PARAPHRASE an old saying, from
the Montana cattleman's stand


the Montana cattleman's stand
point, 1.-THE proof Of the steer is in
the selling" When the specialists
at Montana State college fitted up the
livestock special train which toured
southern Montana last month there was
included in the exhibits a steer that was
intended to illustrate good breeding and
good feeding and to represent the kind
of finished beef animal desired on the
market. The more than 10000 people
who visited the train saw this animal
and many guesses were made as to what
it would weigh and what it would bring.
The questions were answered when this
exhibition steer with four others of his
kind went to market two weeks ago. It
weighed lao pounds and brought
$262.90, according to H. w. Vaughn, head
of the animal husbandry department at
Montana State college.
Commenting on the five steers includ-
ed in the shipment to the Chicago mar
ket, Mr.. Vaughn says they not only
looked good but they were good, for they
topped the market for the day, bringing
$18.25 per hundred pounds. Not only
did these Montana steers, bred and fat
tened at Montana State college, top the
market for the day, but they came within
25 cents of the top for the season. The
| top price was obtained for corn-fed steers
| fattened within a stones throw of the
stockyards, thus eliminating the long
| maui 10 market ana Cne consequent
shrinkage which Montana cattle are sub
| jected to.
The important point in this record
! for a Montana product, says Mr.. Vaughn
is that it indicates what can be done by
proper feeding and breeding The ex.
/ hibition steer was not freak. There were
four others like him in the shipment
and they were all choice. The average
weight Of the five animals was 1,30C
pounds and they brought a return o.
1,186.25. In the same shipment were
four yearling steers also bred and fed a
the college, that averaged 922 pound
each and brought $15 per hundred
pounds, a total Of $553.50.
Those who saw the exhibit of fou
steers on the livestock special train, eacl
representing a market grade, also viii
recall the bony, nondescript animal a
the other end of the line, affectionatel
!, referred to as 'Highpockets." This ami
NAL represents the poorest in beef cat
tie. If he has been marketed the even
has been shrouded in mystery, and eve
at present prices he can be expected t
bring little more than the freight, say
Mr.. Vaughn.

n ORE settlers, more attractive rental
M and sales terms to attract settlers,
N and the establishment of sound
farming systems as a goal toward
which present farmers and newcomers
may work, are the outstanding needs OF
the irrigation projects Of central and
northern Montana. These problems re-
ceived the major attention at the agri-
cultural economic conferences held at
Malta and Great Falls, Nov. 1918, and
definite steps were taken to solve them.
Farmers, railroad representatives, buS1-
ness men, Extension Service specialists
and representatives Of various enterprises,
met in two-day sessions and from these
meetings have come two very definite,
forward-looking programs, which, if fol-
lowed out, will lead to a new period Of
progress for the irrigation projects.
At the Malta meeting mucn Of the first
day was devoted TO a consideration OF
the land settlement problem. Every as
pect of the situation was frankly pre-
sented and considered and the recon-
mendations were equally frank. 1t was
recognized that many of the farm units
on the project are too large, some owners
are inclined to hold land values too high
and in many cases terms of rental and
sale are such as to discourage the new
conner with little capital. In view Of the
fact that other irrigation projects pre-
sent more favorable propositions to set
Tiers 1t was conceded that the MIX river
project must make equally attractive
offerings if it is to attract its share of
settlers.
The conference proposed that large
land holding be broken up into family
farm units of around 80 acres. The
rental Of such farm units to newcomers
to enable them to become familiar with
farming conditions and become estab-
lished, was considered as the most salts
factory approach to the actual sale OF
land. Rentals should be made on a crop
payment basis. with the landowner fur
nishing the buildings and other essentials
to enable the renter to start at once in
developing his farm. Sales terms should
be equally attractive, with the owner
accepting the construction of buildings
in place Of a down payment, deferred

PROVES VALUE OF
SUMMER FALLOW
(FrOm Montana State COlIege)

TNHE PUBLISHED report or the results
Of 40 years of experience in wheat
l. production in the Pacific northwest
Substant1ates the conclusions ar
rived at by wheat growers Of Montana,
that summer fallOwing is necessary for
maximum production. The results Of the
Investigations are published in Farmers
Bulletin 1545-F, recently issued by the
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture.
The experience Of farmers shows that
summer following, properly done, pre-
vents the growth Of weeds, checks evapo-
ration, aids in the accumulation Of avail
able nitrogen, and prepares an excellent
seed bed. Several methods of summer
tallOWtng are practiced, but that of plOW-
ing the land early in the spring and
following with enough tillage to keep
down. the growth Of weeds results in an
increase in yield Of grain over all other
methods.
At the Sherman county branch expert
ment station, Moro, Ore, II years OF
experimental work show that with clean
cultivation after plowing, the average
resulting from April l plowing exceeded
that Of May l plowing by "a bushels
per acre; that of June 1 plowing by rs
bushels; that Of dry fall ploWing by 3S
bushels, and that of wet fall plowine
! by 62 bushels. Clean cultivation after
| plOwing, as compared with plowing with
no other cultivation, increased the av.
erage yield from the April 1 plowing by
40 bushels per acre; that from the May
l plOwing by 90 bushels, and that from
the June 1 plowing by g bushels. Har
rowing but once after plowing on Apri
| /, May 1 or June l, has little or M
effect upon the yield of wheat, and un
less there are weeds to be controlled
there appears to be little value in culti
waiting land that has been plowed a
late as June l.
At the Adams branch station at Lind
Wash, best yields resulted from earl
spring plowing with clean cultivation
after plOwing. The increased yields re
suit from a greater conservation Of mois
ture and from a greater accumulatio
of nitrogen in the soil when the Ian
is plOWed early.
According to results obtained in Mon
tana, advises A. j. Ogaard, the duckfoo
? cultivator has been found to be an eff
cient summer fallow implement. On Ian
that is not too heavy, this implemen
! may be used early in the spring wit
/ blades set shallow. Each subsequer
} cultivation is a little deeper so ths
5 by the end of the season a fine see
bed is obtained that is fully as deep
if the land had been plowed early in til
spring. This method has the furthC
advantage, says Mr.. Ogaard, of not dis
turbing the surface Of the soil and thJ
holding evaporation down to the min
mum.

Bluegrass Kentucky sends to Mon
tana for the hay which is fed to Man
o. War, the famous race horse. This is
the statement of DIR. w. j. Butler, who,
in company with Prof. r. A. Cooley,
state entOmOlOgist, and DIR. w. F. COgs-
well, secretary of the state board of
health, recently visited the state lab
OratOry, which is being built in the
Bitter Root.
This laboratory, when finished, DR..
Butler said, will be one of the most COM
plete and up-to-date in the world
"a little insect, Of short life, that
doesn't bite Or feed and will therefore
never become a menace, will mean un-
told wealth to Montana and the United
States if the plans to acclimate him in
Montana are successful" DR.. Butler said.
This tiny creature has a most impos-
ing designation. He is called the ixoda-
paghus curcuri. He's a parasite. He lays
his egg, a half dozen of them, in the
tick-any and every kind of a tick-at
the time just preceding the development
Of these creatures into adult life. The
result is the parasitized tick never ma
lures. The egg matches but the little
parasite proceeds to dine on the interior
of the tick and leaves only an empty
shell.
This parasite, which was brought to
America from Paris by Professor La
eminent entomoligst, will be propagated
at the laboratory at Hamilton. If this
parasite can be made to thrive in Mon
tana, it means not only the annihilation
Of the spotted fever tick, but of sheep,
cattle and every other kind of tick. This
will mean tremendous saving to the
people Of the entire country"
To Develop Serum
The laboratory will be conducted in
conjunction with the state hoard Of
health. Professor Cooley will have
charge Of the experimental work which
will include efforts to develop a serum to
cure spotted fever, just as a vaccine
against incubation by the fever has al
ready developed.
People associate spotted fever with
the Bitter Root" DR.. Butler said. Gas q
matter Of fact there are many more cases
in eastern Montana, Idaho, Wyoming and
British Columbia than in the Bitter
Root. The spotted fever cases, while
serious in character, are almost negligible
in number Of the Bitter Root district
DR.. Butler is enthusiastic regarding
the Bitter Root which he declares to be
one Of the paradises Of the earth.
It is one Of the few modified tubercu-
losis-free accredited dairy districts in the
United States, he said. Every COW in the
Bitter Root has been tested and is free
from tuberculosis, DR.. Butler said He
declared that the richness of that re-
gion's hay and grass, which makes the
richest milk in the country, brought the
Kraft cheese factory to Corvallis and the
owners Of fine Kentucky horses to the
Bitter Root region, the. one to take ad-
vantage Of the richness Of Montana milk
the other to buy the rich, succulent Bit.
ter Root hay for Kentucky's finest racers
1.-THE Bitter Root is destined to become
| the greatest dairy section on the globe,
DR.. Butler declared.
