the scope of activities of the scale

New System of Awarding
Premiums on Butter Entries

Helena.-A new system of award
ing premiums on butter entries will
be In vogue at the Montana State
Fair this year. Instead of placing
awards for a quality product only,
this year the composition of all en-
tries will be taken into consideration
and tests made for moisture and fat
content, according to G. A. Norris,
chief of the dairy division of the de-
partment of agriculture, labor and in
dustry, who is responsible for inaug-
urating this new plan of placing the
awards on creamery butter. 1t is be-
heved by those in charge of dairy
awards that this new plan will meet
with the approval of creamery men
and butter makers of the state.

cial butter making comprises a COM

BUTTER INDUSTRY IS
BIG ITEM IN MONTANA

Misunderstanding Pacific coast
markets continue to absorb Increasing
quantities of Montana products This
is particularly true of dairy products
according to G. A. Norris. chief IF
the dairy division of the department
of agriculture, labor and indnst,-,y
Last year, Mr.. Norris reports. over
four million pounds of Montana hut
ter were shipped to California msr-
kets, more than double the amount
shipped in 1925 approximately q
000,000) and over five times the shin
ments of 1924, (770,000). That This
increase continues is evident frono
figures received by the dairy division
showing shipments for the last two
months of the present year. Dur;n o
January and February of this wear
129,755 pounds were shipped tn los
Angeles and San Francisco markets
which is an increase of 6,228 mounds
ever the amount shipped durino, those
same months in 1926.
Mr.. Norris believes with otbars
prominent in the industry that the
new pasteurization measure which
passed the legislature at the last ses-
sion and is now law, will he in
strumental in the production Of .
higher quality product of creamery
butter throughout the state and tbat
this improvement of quality will be

Montana now produces in CONNER

there are IA separate hatcheries di-
vided in the eastern and western dis
tricts. The big problem of the hatch
cries is one of distribution. Finger

Montana Winter Wheat
In Good Condition

Helena: Winter wheat in spite of
the cold weather which prevailed dur
ing the last two weeks is in first
class condition, according to J. G.
Diamond, federal crop statistician
who returned yesterday from a field
tour of the winter wheat belt in cen
trail Montana.
THE wheat has the best root de-
velopment | have seen at this time in
the past three years." says Mr.. Dia-
mond, Top growth is short but the
present condition of the plant and the
soil it should make a remarkable re-
Spouse with the first warm weather.
and should stool heavily"
"The effect of the cold weather
has apparently been very slight. In
the Gallatin, fields were amply pro-
tected by light snow cover. In the
Judith basin, the only effect observed
was a slight discoloration of the tin
Of the leaf. On the other hand, win
ter wheat, due to the cold weather
has been roofing down and any loss
OF top growth has been more than
compensated by the best root growth
that the crop has shown at this date
IN recent years"
Mr.. Diamond believes the warm
weather now prevailing in the state
will show a big improvement in the
appearance of the crop.

Helena.-Montana orchard products
are making a place in eastern mar
kets by their fine quality, according
to Edward Dickey, state horticultur-
list, who recently received word from
New York that a car of Elgin Heights
Montana Mcintosh apples from Stew
ensville were sold at auction for a
high price in the New York market.
The report stated that the popularity
of the Montana Mcintosh apples in
the New York market found express
sion at a sale of car of the Elgin
Heights brand which was held here
Monday. The car averaged S4.O1 per
box.
Mr.. Dickey says: 'The comment
made in this report certainly speaks
well for theh Montana Mcintosh /"
The annual crop of Mcintosh apples
in Montana, in good seasons, is about
800 car loads of 756 boxes to the car.

moisture, In the old days the butter
makers tried to manufacture butter
of good flavor, body, taste and color
regardless of the percentage compost
ton of fat, salt and moisture"
Today, owing to keener competi-
ton and the necessary Importance of
the cost of production, the additional
requirements for a quality product
are apparent. The butter maker is
required to produce so many pounds
of butter from given quantity of
butter fat, quantity CONSTANT with
legal standards or market require
ments. In other words, the butter
maker of today to be an efficient
workman must control composition of
butter within very narrow limits"
Mr.. Norris said that he believed
the advent of this plan would be re-
garded as an invitation to creamery
men and butter makers of Montana
to compete not only for quality but
for efficiency in the manufactnre of
their product.
Approximately $4,000 cars of
Montana dairy products moved west
ward during the last year." saws G.
A: Norris chief of the dairy division
OF the department of agriculture, la
Dor and industry. "This is almost
tralnload week. Carload shipments
OF Montana products to southern
California have increased 700 per
cent since 1920. AS the population
on the coast continues to expand op-
portunltles for selling our goods
there will increase.
This opportunity is most apparent
IN the case of dairy products. Cali
fornia can not produce more than
half her needs in dairy products.
Dairy products are concentrated.
This concentration permits long ship
ments. Forty carloads of alfalfa hav
are required to produce a carload of
butter. Is it better to ship the hay
or the butter? Transportation costs
do not figure with manufactured
dairy products to the same extent as
IN the case of many other farm pro-
ducts. The high figure in dairy costs
is food. Our Montana alfalfa is the
equal of that raised anywhere in the
world and we get a heavy forage
production per acre. This is the
great advantage that the Montana
dalryman has-cheap forage of the
best quality. If we can build up our
herds to efficient production records
we can compete with any state in
manufacturing dairy products. When
the coast market is not good we can
ship to eastern markets, due to the
TACT, as | have stated, that dairy pro-
ducts are concentrated and will stand
present day shipment costs of approx
lmately three cents per pound in car
load shipment"
