MISSOURI RIVER
SHIFTS CHANNEL
GREAT NORTHERN TANK AND TRACK
AT SNOWDEN THREATENED BY
VAGARIES OF STREAM

A problem that battles state and
county highway engineers Is the action
OF the Missouri rvier at Sn0wden, a
Great Northern siding near the Dakota
line.
In 1908 the river was flowing fairly
near to the Great Northern tracks, and
was but a few feet from the wagon road.
In the next few years, the river suddenly
started to swing back the other way and
by 1924 the main channel was nearly q
mile from the road M the old river bed
was o%vetgrown with trees.
Early in the spring OF 1925, 1t was
noticed by engineers constructing the
Roosevelt highway that the river chan
mel vas slowly changing, n swinging
down nearer to Snowden. In 1926, the
river again struck its old bank. having
changed its course nearly three-quarters
Of a mile in less than two years.
The channel continued to change, with
the result that the river bank started to
cave In. This action continued until
the highway was first condemned and
then closed.
Early in 1927, the whole gravel high
way for a stretch of several rods caved
into the river, and fear was expressed for
railroad tracks, but at that time the river
stopped its washing tactics and elected
to flow along calmly until this spring
when 1t suddenly set to work again
sometimes caving off as much as so feet
of the bank in one day. Engineers are
forced to condemn the main track of the
Great Northern. At present the indus
trial track. several yards from the mair
track, is being used.
Upon the suggestion Of a railroad mar

graduate of Montana State college,
Cs has been appointed county agricul-
tural agent of Flathead county to sue
coed r. B. Mckee who has transferred TO
Yellowstone county, j. c.

June Is with headquarters at Kalispell.
Mr.. Paisley is % years old and spent
the early part of his life on his fathers
farm in Iowa. He studied at Iowa State
college and came to Montana in 1924 TO
complete his college education at Mon
tana State college. He las had a wide
experience in general farming and dairy
ing under conditions similar to those in
F1athead county. While at college he
specialized in dairying and livestock pro-
duction.
He served as official tester for a COW
testing association in Iowa before COM
ing to Montana and in 1924 n 1925
was tester for the Lake County Cow
Testing association. In his work in Lake
county he was instrumental in placing
the association or a firm footing with
the result that 1t is now one of the lead
ing organizations OF its kind in the state.
He stimulated a wide interest in dairy
ing and Lake county has become one of
the prominent dairy producing areas of
the state.

Tests at the same station to compare

over May blowing but yields and protein

TREASURE STATE FARM AND LIVESTOCK
Potato
Crop IL Per Cent
Greater Than 1927

With an expected increase of 12 per
cent over the acreage harvested last
year. potato price prospects for the
coming season are not altogether en-
couraging, advises the bureau of ngri-
cultural economies of the United States
department of agriculture. Under near
normal conditions the potato yield
next fall will be AROUND $500. 600 BUSH
els as compared with 1906 900 bushels
last year.
With these prospects, Montana farm
ers will do well to remember that
"plunging" is TO be avoided in the pc.
tato business. says +. Nj. Harrington
~horticulturist at Montana State college
The grower who maintains u fairly con
slant acreage from year to year usually
makes the most money from potatoes, he
advised. The grower who uses poor seed
stock and careless methods IN production
and marketing may find IL cheaper &
leave his potatoes in the ground next
fall, says the horticulturist. High yields
per acre OF a good marketable variety OF
potatoes that show a small percentage
Of culls, careful grading and marketing
are more important than usual this year

other articles of junk available were
thrown along the bank in the hops Of
breaking the force Of the water. This
plan was fairly successful and for a time
it seemed that the river was conquered.
But within the last month the channel
has shifted just a little bit, and is now
relentlessly cutting the bank near the
Great Northern water tank. Unless this
action can be stopped, the railroad COM
pany will be forced to move its tank to
higher ground or surrender it to the
river. Fear is also expressed for safety
of the reservoir near the tank.
Numerous engineers have offered solu-
lions, all of which have been In vain,
and unless the river changes it's course
again suddenly 1t is not impossible that
within five or six years the whole siding
