BEING
MADE FOR
SPECIAL TRAIN


Arrangements are meaning comp.e
tion for making the visit Of the live
stock train to Shelby on October Is.
one Of the most memorable gather
ings Of farmers and stockmen ever
held hDre. The program will start
with free lunch at noon furnished
by local business men of Shelby.
Immediately following qunlsh. at I
P. M, a feed crops meeting will take
place. At o'clock business houses
in Shelby will close to allow every
one to inspect the exhibits at the
Special Train which arrives thar
hour.
E. B. Duncan, Great Northern Ag-
ricultural Agent, and L. Upton, Of
the local committee, have agreed
that the train should be parked in
front of the depot; this will allow
space for unloading the stock in the
street near the grain elevator, and
also Will be near the central part Of
town.
The schools are being asked to CO.
operate as fully in TooIe county as
they are in other parts of Montana,
where the train stops. In most
counties the country schools are
closed for the entire day, and the
schools in the towns where the train
stops are dismissed the two hours the
exhibits are open to inspection.
While in Shelby last week Mr.
Dugan. Great Northern Agricultural
Agent, said, School superintend4nts,
teachers, and school directors all
over the staate realize that to give
the students the opportunity OF visit-
ing this train and hear the speakers
who are with the train, Is Just the
same as having these speakers on
their school faculty for thar day
They further realize that the func-
ton Of out public schools is to i'm
prove the boys and girls, and not 70
meet any red-tape requirements nee
essary to get certain number o
days attendance"
These and others are reasons, ac-
cording to Mr. Duncan, why the
Better Livestock Train is getting
such hearty cooperation from the
school system Of the State and coun-
ties.
TWO boys from Galattin county,
both All Club Members, viii have
part in the program wnen they DEM
ongtrate he different wool produo-
ing types Of sheep. The wool exhib
it, prepared by the Montana Wool
Growers Association, will show the
market grades Of wool.
The livestock to bee demonstrat-
ed will include beef cattle. dairy
cattle, sheep and hogs, each exhibit
having been selected to bring out
some fundamental point in success
with feeding, breeding, and manage
ment. Market grades Of beef animals
will be shown as well as types OF
breeding stock that have practical
value in this part Of the state.
The dairy exhibits will show the
difference between high ana .ow
producing COWS, and the types Of
bulls that can be depended upon to
increase production in the common
dairy herd Breeding stock will also
be featured in the sheep and hog
exhibits.
Exhibits in the feed car will deal
with some OF the major problems
which confront farmers and sock
men in this part Of the state in the
production Of feeds, the establish
ment Of permanent pastures, manage
ment Of range, wintering breeding
stock, and the most efficient use Of
commonly grown feeds.
Farmers and stockmen in this
area are invited and urged to come
in for the meetings; for It is believed
the meetings, demonstrations, and
exhibits that will form a part Of the
livestock day program, viii be Of
vital, money-malzing Importance to
all
