Whitefish Is being recognized by the

of products raised there. Herman Van

of Whitefish, made a name for himself
and Whitefish through his french en-

The Great Northern dining car serv-
ice, after testing the vegetable, placed
an order with Van AIKEN last year for all
he could furnish. This year his contract
calls for so pounds daily. delivered at
Whitefish. Last year French endive was
the only article On the menu of Great
Northern diners that showed where 1t
was produced. In addition to the Great
Northern order, Mr.. Van AIKEN has stand
ing orders from hotels as far away as
California.
French endive has been raised In Cali
fornia for years, but the Montana product
as grown by Mr.. Van AIKEN is said to be
far superior to that grown In California
Mr.. Van AIKEN installed a ground heating
system, steam pipes keeping the ground
at correct temperature.
A native of Holland, Mr.. Van AIKEN
earned gardening there. 1t was in Hol-
land where he first became interested
in raising French endives. His present
system is the result Of years OF research
and experiment. He also produces q va

land. but he has installed an overhead
sprinkling system to supply the neces-
sary moisture.

this season with such success that he
will make a much larger planting OF
that vegetable next year.
M. M. Hort Is also doing experimental
work with vegetables. The celery raised
on the Horl ranch is of the irrigated
variety n is said to be of fine flavor
and texture. Van AIKEN and Hort each
took first prizes IN their celery at the
state fair this season.
Mr.. Hori is known as the potato king
of northern Montana and this year will
probably be the largest shipper of Mon
tam grown potatoes. He expects to
handle 200 cars from Flathead county
alone. These will be shipped to Mime
apolis, Chicago, Kansas City and as far
south as Fort Worth, Tex. All potatoes
shipped by Mr.. Hori will be put in spe-
cial brand sacks of 100 pounds each. The
sack, which will bear the Hori trade
mark, as we'll as his name and the name
OF Whitefish, will become a familiar sight
in the big produce markets.
MI. Hori has contracted with the Great
Northern railway to furnish 100. OOC
pounds Of baking potatoes for the din
ing car service. These must meet rigid
specifications and no potato can weigh
less than one-half pound.

POULTRY SPECIAL.
VISITS MONTANA
(From Montana state College)

DHE Better Poultry Special" of the
burlington railroad made five stops
l. in Montana, November 8. Q and 10
n proved q revelation to the 5000
who saw the exhibits INC heard the lee
lures. Previous to its visit TO Montana
the train had made approximately so
stops along the Burlington lines in New
Mexico. Colorado and Wyoming. After
making the loop in the southwestern
part of the state the train returned to
Wyoming and completed its journey in
the Black Hills country of South Da-
kota. H. L. Ford. agricultural develop
ment agent of the Burlington railroad
was in charge of the train.
AS explained at the meetings by Mr..
Ford, the train was an effort to stimulate
mot more poultry but more efficient
poultry production methods" and every
feature of the six cars of exhibits was
directed toward this objective. From
the culling of 1ocks to secure eggs from
the most desirable birds for Matching
purposes to the packing and shipment
of eggs and dressed poultry, the train
was a practical and comprehensive school
in better poultry.
In spite of u~nfavorable weather condi-
tons which made roads almost impas-
sable in the area visited, Unexpectedly
large number of farmers and farm wom-
en- visited the train. At Laurel, the first
stop in Montana, there were 900 u tc
see the special train; an early morning
stop at Billings brought u 318, more
than 300 came out to see the exhibits at
the afternoon stop at Ballantine; 476
saw the exhibits at the evening stop at
Hardin, n ST. were in attendance at
Lodge Grass the following morning.
AT every stop the visitors manifested
a genuine interest in the exhibits and
piled the poultry specialists and railroad
representatives on the train with ques-
tons. Throughout its run in the state,
there was evidence Of a keen desire on
the part Of the people for just such in
formation as 1t exhibits portrayed.
Many thousands Ct bulletins and special
pieces OF literature dealing with special
subjects on poultry production we're re-
quested by those who visited the train
and who desired to follow up the sug-
gestions presented with further study.
The Montana extension service was
represented during its visit to the state
by Miss H. E. Cushman, poultry special
ist for the Montana extension service. At
each stop Miss Cushman explained the
extension program for the development
of poultry production in the state and
expressed the opinion that the special
train woul greatly stimulate interest in
that program in the area visited.

Thirteen thousand four hundred and

counties, are entered in the chicken

sponsored by the Hansen Packing COM
pany of Butte and which is being con-
Quoted under the direction of Miss
ii. f.. Cushman. poultry specialist of
the Montana State college at BOzeman.
The contest is being put on by the
Hansen company to Introduce Vitarnont
meat scraps, manufactured by it. and
demonstrate its value as source of ami
NAL protein. The Vitamont scraps is
furnished free by the packing company
to those entered in the contest. The en-
tries closed on Nov. l, 1927. and the con-
test will be concluded on JAM. 81, 1923
Assisting Miss Cushman in supervising
the contest are the county agents in the
various counties. All hens entered in the
contest were leg-banded by the agents at
the beginning of the contest and no sub-
situations will be permitted afterwards
The basis Of award will be on the av-
erage number of eggs per hen during the
three months of November, December and
January, and $25 will be awarded the
owner OF the flock in each county hav
ing the highest average production.
The packing company has stipulated
that no contestant shall give more than
90 per cent meat meal III the mash or
more than 10 per cent meat meal in the
total ration, since a greater amount pro-
duces overstimulation which results in
~broken-down birds that are unfit to
carry On during the remainder Of the
year or for breeding purposes.
The idea Of the contest ls 70 show how
sustained high production may be eco
nomically maintained, but does not fos-
ter artificial forcing at the expense OF
health.
