TREASURE STATE FARM AND LIVESTOCK
0vERPR0DUCTl0M THE GREAT
PROBLEM, SAYS MI. L. WILSON

removed much Of the popular appeal for
farming. The back-to-the-land movement
has been followed by another movement In
the opposite direction. How long the pres
ent condition will continue is p~roblemati-
cal. Mr.. Wilson points out, but he quotes
one of the nations leading economists to
the effect that 1t IL likely to prove ex-
c~eedingly difficult for owners of the poorer
farms OF the country to pay their taxes
during the next 20 years.
The present situation is best explained
Mr.. Wilson says. by the purchasing power
OF farm products. Considering that the
purchasing power Of farm products stood
at 100 during the hve-year period immedi-
ately preceding the war, 1t Is now ex-
pressed by the figure IS. On the other
hand, the purchasing power of labor stands
at 125.
There are many proposed solutions of
the problem. Mr.. Wilson explains. Some
advocating legislation, others cooperation,
others increased efficiency on the farm.
some believe that the situation will grad
ually correct itself and that nothing should
be done. and still others believe that the
adjustment of production offers the best
hope.
Is becoming very marked, says the econ
onist- Larger units are being farmed, the
farm power units are increasing in size,
more efficient tools and implements for
preparing lands and harvesting crops are
being introduced In all important agricul-
tural areas. This Is increasing the neces-
sary capital outlay and increasing competi-
ton between farms and farming areas. 1t
is impossible to estimate how far this
speeding up" movement can go or what
the ultimate effect will be, says Mr.. Will
son.
Many believe that the best means of cor
recting the present agricultural situation is
to bring about a better adjustment of crop
production between different sections of
the country. This means. Mr.. Wilson ex-
plains, that farmers should grow only
those crops to which their conditions are
hest adapted. 1t has been pointed out that
there would be no surplus wheat problem
In this country II farms producing poor
quality and improbable yields would stop
growing this crop.
1t is along the line Of adjustment of
production that the present economic con-
~ferences are being held in Montana and
other states, Mr.. Wilson explains. The
effort offers great possibilities, he believes,
and conferences already held indicate that
much will be accomplished toward placing
Montana's agricultural enterprises on a
more stable basis.

M. L. Wilson. agricultural econom-
list of the Montana Experiment Sta

agricultural economic conferences
now being held in the state.
The world problem of agriculture today
is brought on by overproduetion. Mr.. VIII
son states. In tracing the factors re-
sponsible for the situation in the United
States he points out that j. ]. Hill. the
railroad builder, expressed the general
sentiment of the times in a speech early
In the Goth century in which he stated that
population is ever on the increase and that
the area of tillable land for the production
of food was definitely fixed. He expressed
the opinion that the price OF agricultural
land would continue to 60 up. From the
time of the Spanish-American war until
1920 there was a general movement to I'M
occupied lands throughout the country.
This movement gradually increased produc-
ton to the point reached In 1920 and since
then the general sentiment has been to-

POULTRY SHOWS
BIGGER PROFIT
ROSEBUD COUNTY FARMERS ARE
IMPROVING QUALITY OF
THEIR FLOCKS
Considerable Success Attends Effort
to Obtain Better Marketing for
Poultry and Products; Local De-
mand Exceeds Production

The poultry industry In Rosebud
county Is coming into Its own. A large
percentage of the farmers are taking more
interest In improving their iiocks, some
of them going SO far AS to keep exact
records. while others are securing better
results through improved feeding and
housing conditions. according to u report
made 10 the state extension department.
by Miss Jessie Adee. home demonstration
agent.
During the last year an effort was made
to secure better marketing of poultry and
poultry products through improved quality
with considerable success. As q step IN
this direction an egg marketing association
was organized in the Pleasant valley COM
munity-a community which boasts q large
number of poultry breeders. Miss Harriet
Cushman, state poultry specialist. conduct
ed two poultry and egg grading demon
STATIONS for the benefit of the members,
and w C. Smith, a member of the organi-
cation, was granted a graders license
through the state board of agriculture. The
association sold 40 cases of extra select
eggs at a profit estimated at 4 cents per
dozen above the local market.
The volume of eggs produced In the
county is not yet sufficient to more than
supply the local demand except during the
spring months, Consequently, marketing
is not the problem here that 1t is in some
sections. In fact, 1t is necessary to ship In
eggs during November and December, but
better practices among poultry raisers of
the county are assisting in remedying this
situation.
Fourth poultry clubs for boys and girls
as well as clubs for farm womeE have done
much to interest farm families In better
poultry and improved methods of caring
for their fowls, in this county during the
past four or five years. There are now
very few farms entirely without poultry,
and n number of farms have found the hen
one of their most profitable sidelines.

10 MILLION LBS.
BUTTER SHIPPED

INCLUSIVE OF that produced and
r., consumed upon the farms, Mon
" tana produced approximately
II 100000 pounds of butter during
the year 1926 and of this about TO-
10000 pounds were exported from
the state.
Figures prepared by G.. A. Norris, chief
OF the dairy division of the state depart
ment of agriculture, show a total produce
lion Of 10. go, 600 pounds for 1926, OF which
20 per cent, or 4,265, 036 pounds were mar
Seted In the two principal cities Of Cali
fornia. Los Angeles getting 1884, 63S
pounds and San Francisco 1881, 00S pounds.
The balance OF the export butter went to
scattering markets, principally Chicago
and New York, probably Is per cent Of
the whole going to those two cities and
the two California markets. Figures of
the dairy division are based upon monthly
reports received from the representatives OF
the u. ). bureau of agricultural economics
in those four cities.
California shipments have increased by
bounds during recent years so that for the
years 1925 and 1926 Montana butter on the
San Francisco market outranked that from
Oregon and Washington.
For 1926 Montana butter sold on the
San Francisco market aggregated 1881, U98
pounds as compared with 2,306. 1903 pounds
from Oregon and 326,9I5 pounds from

Many Rabbita Killed

More Jack rabbits have been killed In

berta this winter than any previous year,
the reason being the big demand for rab-
bit skins by the fur companies at from Is
to % cents each. A big rabbit drive along
the boundary east of Sweetgrass was to
have been staged late In February, Alberta
and Montana farmers cooperating and the
net was to have been placed practically on
the international boundary line. But a net
could not be secured In time SO II had to
be called off. Individual farmers claim to
have killed as many MS 600 of the Dummies
and shipped their skins at a good profit.
