FEWER CATTLE
AND SHEEP SOLD

MAILER marketings of both cattle
and sheep are in prospect frcn the
~ state this fall and early whit, due
principally to heavy 1926 market
ings that were swelled by drouth condi-
lions in most of the eastern half Of the
state n resulted in an apparent over
selling. Smaller offerings OF cattle this
fall will In part be offset by better mar
ket prices. which In September averaged
about $1.40 q hundred higher than a
the state department of agriculture, la
the state department of agriculsure, la
Dor and industry.
With sheep, smaller marketings will
mean more of a reduction in income
from sales unless prices improve. Total
value Of the dairy production, however,
should be larger than in 1926 and the
increase in poultry production would ap-
pear to Offset any price differences COM
pared with last fall.
Both cattle and sheepmen have put
up a big hay crop, have had plenty of
green feed all summer n have excellent
pasture conditions as the fall opens.
Inquiry for breeding stock, especially in
case of beef cattle, indicates some re-
stocking tendency that, with indicated
smaller marketings this fall. points to
some inventory gains when the year
closes. General information would indi-
cate that cattlemen are now much bet
ter financed than in any year OF the
postwar period.

$50 Am Acre Paid
for Raw Land Inn
Hollywood Area

Completion OF one of the most i'm
portant farm land transactions in the
Great Falls area this year was an
nounced by II. X. BickfOrd OF, 1901
Seventh avenue north.
Mr.. Bickford purchased two quarter
sections of land in the Highwood country,
east of Great Falls, which has commonly
come to be known as the Great Falls
wheat belt" from j. H. Sherbourne OF
Browning.
Cash involved in the transaction was
not d%ivulged. but it is reported that the
land was sold for approximately 500 per
acre.
The farm land purchased by Mr.. Bick-
ford adtoins his other holdings in that
section, which now total 900 acres. 1t Is
about two and a half miles east OF the
Dick O'Day wheat farm and ad1oins land
owned by DR.. w. H. Barth, that formerly
owned by John Dahl. and the property
of z. Cooper. Parts Of the Cooper farm
Welded as high as go bushels OF wheat
to the acre this year.
Never Has Failure
Nj. Bickford started wheat farming
In the belt nine years ago with a 300
ecre farm. Even during the lean years he
netted q return from his crops that en-
abled him to gradually increase his hold
inqs to the present farm, OF 1000 acres.
Mr.. Bickford's success In wheat growing
is reflected not only in his steady growth
and expansion, but also In the crop he
harvested this year. Winter wheat on
his place average So bushels to the acre
and he got a spring wheat yield OF 20
to 80 bushels to the acre.
TIL land he acquired from Mr.. Sher-
bourne is virgin territory, never having
been put under o pillow.

POULTRY SPECIAL
OVER BURLINGTON
From Montana State College)

"xHIBITS on wheels are becoming
the fashion in Montana. Shortly
- after the livestock special operated
by the Northern Pacific railroad in
cooperation with the Montana extension
service completes its journey, n after
the Milwaukee railroad has exhibited its
trainload of prize dairy cattle on the way
to the Pacific international exposition at
Portland, the Chicago. Burlington and
Quincy railroad will bring its special
poultry train into southeastern Mon
tana. The train will make five stops in
the state. Laurel. Nov. 8; Billings. Bal
lantine and Hardin, Nov. 9. and Lodge
Grass, Nov. 10.
The poultry special comes to Montana
after showing in Colorado, New Mexico
and Wyoming. The train includes six
carloads Of exhibits and illustrates many
of the important practices In successful
poultry production-feeding for egg pro-
duction, the need for well-bred toe OF
known high-producing ancestry, prepara-
ton of feeds and methods OF feeding,
control Of disease, caponizing, specimens
of standard bred birds, poultry houses,
predatory animal control. methods of
shipping poultry. market grades, prepa-
ration of birds for market, etc.
The demonstration train exhibits are
designed to teach the important points
in poultry production through tllustra-
tions and examples. There will be a
minimum of talk. A All club poultry
demonstration team from Colorado will
give a demonstration at each stop.

FARM WOMEN
WILL STUDY FOODS
(From Montana State College)

a TORE than 1900 farm women In
\H Carbon, Flathead, Yellowstone,
lvx Richland, Valley. and Lewis and
Clark counties will study foods
and nutrition under the direction OF the
Montana extension service this winter.
according to Miss Jessie Mcqueen, nu-
triton specialist. Preparations for car
rying Oh regular courses outlined by the
extension service for the women of the
state have been completed. Home DEM
onstration agents will have charge of the
work in their counties.
The effort is in line with the recon-
~mendations made at the southeastern
Montana and Fergus county agricultural
economic conferences last winter, at
spent for food and matters pertaining to
the preparation. purchase n storing OF
food have a real bearing upon the eco
nomic we'll being, health, comfort and
pleasure OF the farm family. The chief
concern OF the farm housewife. says Miss
Mcqueen. is to use the money available
to get the greatest possible benefit from
it. The studies and work outlined by the
Extension Service for the foods nj nu-
triton project, have been designed with
his end in view.
In most communities where the work
will be carried on this winter the farm
women have organized home demonstra-
ton clubs and the work in foods and
nutrition has been selected by these clubs
as one OF their major projects. Home
demonstration clubs are organized for the
improvement Of farm home and rural
community life.
This winter the Extension Service also
is directing foods and nutrition work In
q number Of schools Of the state. In
this the Nutrition Handbook" prepared
by Miss Mcqueen. is used as a guide and
instruction is given to public school
children. Schools in Rosebud, Lewis and
Clark. Richland, Carbon, Chouteau, Hill
Phillips, and Fergus counties are giving
instruction In foods and nutrition.

The investment in the livestock in

district freight and passenger agent
for the Northern Pacific railroad at
Butte. said after attending at Bozeman
the dedicatory services for the live

ern Pacific and Montana State college.
Gallatin county farmers, cattlemen
and sheepmen have an investment of
81 ,250, 900 in the four classes Of livestock
beef cattle, dairy cattle, hogs and
sheep. This is a conservative estimate
given by Ralph Bodley. Bozeman. county
agent. The remainder of the 50. 000. 00C
investment represents the land valua-
ton, pasturage, hay and grains used by
and fed the livestock.
In the county are 30. 900 beef cattle,
s 1000 dairy cattle, $4,000 hogs and %. 90C
sh sep, figures compiled by Mr.. Bodley
reveal. The large number Of animals
coupled with the fine farms and pastures
OF the Gallatin valley, place the county
among the leaders in the livestock In

to first determine where improvement Ii
most needed and second to inc ways anc

be made"
Mr.. Merriman stated Gallatin was the
first county In the state to give tuber.
culosis tests to cattle, starting the work
seven years ago.. Since 1920 more thar
$1,000 head Of cattle have been tested
and retested. The health Of all beef
cattle is excellent. Mr.. Merriman said
but there. is still some Improvement
needed in feeding and In market types
Dairy cattle have also received similar
tests during the last seven years. The
increase in numbers n quality Of pure
bred dairy sires has been satisfactory
but Mr.. Merriman stated the Gallatir
county agent feels there is still need o.
improvement In the production Of breed
ing sires used. Increases are also showr
In the number Of hogs and sheep. while
the breeds Of both have improved vastl,
