Progress is being made in agricultural
and livestock development of Northern
Montana, and much more will be accom-
plished by cultivation of additional acre
age.
Diversified farming is being encouraged
and rapidly put into practice. A properly
balanced production on irrigated land will
bring about a large increase in beets, seeC

The increased production Of the MOntani

.RICHLAND HERDS
WILL BE TESTED
(FrOm the Montana State CoIlege)


A N agreement for the tuberculin
n testing Of every COW in Rich
- land county has been arrived at
between the Board of County Com
misisOners the State Livestock San
itary Board and the United States
Bureau of Animal Industry. The
work will be started at once and is
to be pushed to completion as rapidly
as possible.
In the agreement arrived at, the county
VIII furnish Identification tags for mark
ing tested cattle and will pay transpOrta-
ton costs or veterinarians in travelling
about the county.
The decision to test all cattle and place
the entire county on a modified accredited
basis Is the result Of the preliminary test
ing OF all cattle in 10 townships early
last fall, says II. +. DePue, county agricul-
tural agent. In this preliminary work, ap-
prOximately 5000 head were tested and one
per cent Of this number was found in
fected with tuberculosis. The compara-
lively high percentage of diseased cattle
disclosed by the tests brought other farm
ers to realize the seriousness of the situa-
tiOn and many requests from all parts of
the county resulted in the favorable con-
sideratiOn Of the project by the county
authorities.
Among the advantages resulting from
such tuberculosis testing is that packers
will pay a premium of 10 cents per hun
dred pounds on all hogs produced in, and
shipped from a modified accredited area
| advises Mr. DePue. In the case of Rich
land county this will amount to an in.
creased return from hogs of approximately
$4,000 per year. The most important reason
/ for testing, says the extension agent, is
| that the removal of diseased cattle from the
milk producing herds of the county viii
prevent the transfer of the dreaded diseas,
| to children through the milk.

tFrom the Montana state COlIeEel

" HIS week at the Annual Farm
and Home Week at Montana
Il State college, the agricultural
and industrial leaders of Montana
are wrestling with big problems and
tackling a big jOb-that of planning
agricultural development programs
for every section of Montana. At
general meeting held on Tuesday re-
presentatives of the important organ
izations of the state considered the
states agricultural problems and
their solution in a statewide way,
and laid down a plan of operations.
At special meetings of district repre-
sentatives arrangements for district
economic conferences to be held this
winter were made.
State College, Extension and Experiment
Station officials presented to the meetings
detailed information on the basic facts Of
MOntanaS agriculture at the present time.
This information is the result of two years
of fact finding and study and provides the
most complete picture of the agricultural
resources and possibilities of the state
ever assembled. A bulletin covering this
information was prepared and placed be-
fore the delegates at the meetings for their
consideration, as a back ground for their
work in developing progress.
For the purposes of the work under way
the state has been divided into six dis
trcts so that the more or less distinct
areas where agricultural practices and
problems are similar can work out their
own programs. At the general meeting
arrangements were made for holding or
ganizatiOn meetings for each of the dis
tricts to be followed later in the winter
by twO-day economic conferences. The or
ganiZatiOn meetings are for the purpose
of planning studies and Investigations il
each district and for the appointment Of
committees to consider each major farm
and livestock enterprise.
Four of such organization meetings wer
held or are to be held at BOZeman this
week, for the intermOuntain district, tn,
northern district, the central district ant
he southeastern dryland district. At tn
same time, representatives Of the western
and northeastern districts made arrange
ments for holding organization meetings
the meeting for the western district will
be held at Hamilton, January 26-2S, at tn
time of the annual meeting of the Stat
Horticultural Society, and the northeaster
district will hold it's meetings at the tim

GREA FALL SLIGHT SYSTEM is
CALLED PREVENTION OF CRIME

Great Falls is one of the best lighted
cities in the west, and this fact has
apparently been beneficial in reducing
the number of crimes in the city, accord
ing TO Lieutenant of Detectives A. f.
Grennan of the Los Angeles police force.
Lieutenant Grennan for several years was
a member Of the bomb squad of Los
Angeles, and also served as a peace officer
in San Francisco.
A we'll lighted city, according to Lieu
tenant Grennan, deters criminals from
operating and results in a corresponding
reduction in hOldups and rObberies. Only
a few people realize this fact he stated,
and Great Falls is especially fortunate
in having provided suitable street light

UNDERGOING FINAL
 TEST Qf TRAINING
Dempsey Finding Out if He Can
 Take Husky Punch on Chin

White Sulphur Springs, Saratoga Lake, N. Y. July 15 R-Jack Dempsey is undergoing the final test of his comeback ability-whether he can take a husky punch on the chin and still bore in fighting with senses undimmed.
 The former title holder is certain that his physical condition is sound. punching power as great as ever, and tootwork fast enough to carry the high power artillery into close range for heavy work on Jack Sharkey's body But on the way in Jack realizes that he will be hit hit hard and often and he is anxious to dis cover his reaction when fists are drumming on his own chm.
 Jack has fought only l2 rounds in two fights in almost four years. When Luis Angel Firpo smashed Dempsey from the ring il Septem Der. 1923. Jack came back in a fury to sink the Argentine half dozen times. Defending the world cham pionship against Gene T'inney last fall, Jack was not knocked from his feet, but steady punishment about the head slowed him to walk.
 In less than a week, the former titleholder. now seeking to regain the crown lost to Tunney, will meet Jack Sharkey in the Yankee Sta dium. Dempsey is 32 and the reac- ten of his muscles when eyes see an opening is obviously slower. Jack will take more punishmert because of that and he believes I, must learn to take 1t.
 Yesterday was the first Jack spent stopping punches with his chin when lie could have avoided them. In the first tree minutes of boxing against Johnny Saxon. Jack stuck out his head and let it stay there while Johnny whaled him solidly. Then Dempsey drew back, whipped half dozen short punches to the body, and rad to carry" the little welterweight the remainder of the round.
 And against Chief Motoquah. rangy Oklahoma Indian. Dempsey submitted to four right crosses to the head that carried every ounce of the chiefs 204 pounds behind them. Once more Jack pulled himself to- gether and nearly crushed the Indian with body bending attacks. Italian Jack Herman and Marty Gallagher both took their shots at the former titleholder and were repaic in heavy punishment.
