sued by the state-federal cooperative
livestock reporting service.
Weather conditions continued ~seasOnable
throughout February, and prospects for
good spring grass, from the standpoint of
moisture reserves, are now excellent over
the last three years. Winter ranges, how
ever, have been inaccessible in most cases,
due to snOw and ice. Some loss of cattle
due to starvation and heavy losses Of range
horses in east central Montana due to the
same cause was noted during the month.
In this section, hay was scarce and when
the snow cruSted over and frOZe hard many
horses including some work stock were
without feed. Southeastern Montana also
reported shortage of feed n snow and
ice on ranges; horses in this section also
suffering more than other livestock.
In the western third of the state, range
prospects for spring are reported as very
good, with considerable hay to be carried
over unless extreme weather is encountered
this month. The central section indicates
slightly better range prospects than las
month with substantial hay carryOver

are among the great resources Of the state
and should be used to the fullest capacity
commensurate with safety.
Taking the figures on production and
estimates of probable consumption into
consideration, and realizing that the only
outlet for grass, hay and feed grains is
through live stock, 1t would seem advis-
able for Montana stOckmen and farmers
to handle their business to get maximum
returns from the feed produced on their
lands. With live stock prices probably re-
naming on about the same level as last
year, the only way in which the producer
can improve his financial position is to re-
duce costs and operating expenses to the
very lowest figure possible and at the
same time increase the grade, quality and
condition of the product he is selling so
that he will receive top market prices.

makes it possible for the Montana wheat
ers in sections located more favOrably as

While conditions do not justify an in
crease in the acreage of spring wheat,
farmers are urged to adopt the tillage and
cultural practices that will decrease the
cost per bushel and maintain of increase
the quality of wheat.
The variable climatic conditions in Mon
tana emphasize the importance of a GER
tain mount of diversity in farming opera
tons. Farmers who supplement wheat
growing with other lines Of production
where possible, may not insure themselves
against all losses, nevertheless, they will
usually find the practice advisable.

Less Grain Held

Stocks Of grain remaining on farms in
the United States on March 1 were general
ly comparatively small and tOtaled less
than for a year. ago, according to esti-
mates Of the crop reporting board Of the
department of agriculture in a repOt issued
on March 8. Only 1871 per cent Of the 1926
wheat crop remained on farms on March
1, as compared with 14.8 Of the 1925 crop
on March /, 1926. The percentage Of corn
and oats was smaller than last year and
that Of the rye crop was identical with the
1926 percentage although the crop was
somewhat smaller. The percentage Of bar
ley remaining on farms vas slightly less
than in 1926.

Wv YHILE the outlook on wheat
M prices for the coming year is
w none too favorable a drastic
downward revision of wheat acreage
in Montana is not advisable, accord
ing to the annual agricultural out
look issued by the Montana expert
ment station. A wheat acreage about
the same as last year with every eff
fort made to lower cost of produc-
ton and to produce a high quality
product; a little more emphasis on
fax in the areas where this crop may
be grown successfully; and greater
attention to livestock in favorable
sections, would appear to be the
major recommendations for a safe
farming program for 1927 on the
basis of conditions as they appear at
the opening of the planting season.

Static Electricity Is
Apt to Cause Explosion

Static electricity is apt to send a
spark from the metal nozzle of the
gasoline pump hose to the filler pipe
of the gas tank when metal touches
metal, and for this reason 1t is a good
plan to tap the nozzle against the rear
bumper or fender guards before in.
sorting it in the filler pipe. ANY spark
that is about to be released then is
less likely to start a fire, because it
does not occur directly over the vapor
from the gasoline tank.
1t is also well to bear in mind al.
ways that there is more danger of an
explosion from an empty gas tank
than from one that is full. 1t is the
yapor of gas that causes combustion,
not the gasoline itself. A tank with
just little gas and lot of air is an
ideal mixture for an explosion. A
tank that is nearly filed often will
catch fire without exploding.

Effect of Sanitation
on Literary Manners

Literary manners have altered, not
only as result of the enlargement of
the audience-though that was bound
tn have an important effect on litera-
ture-but as a result of changes in the
manners and customs of everyday life.
The increase of privacy, the i'm
provement of sanitation, the growing
custom of cleanliness both of habits
and of the body, and the abolition of
many gross usages, have resulted in
making many things that once were
the comic contretemps of ordinary
life seem now merely offensive irrel-
evancies.
Probably improved sanitation has

You will notice that what its en-
