determine the quantities, kinds, and
forms of wood used as raw material
by industries in all states in 1928.
This is part Of a nationwide forest
survey.
In Idaho and Montana the principal
wood-using industries are the manu-
facture of planning mill products and
sash, doors, blinds, and general mill
work. The regional increase of lot
per cent is principally due to the
striking development Of the sash,
door, and blind industry in both
states.
Southern Rocky Mountain states
showed an increase in wood require
ments of "a per cent, while the prairie
states had one per cent decrease.
Colorado and New Mexico show sub
stantial increases in the quantities of
lumber required, particularly for rail-
road-car construction and repair in
Colorado and the manufacture of
boxes and crates in both states. The
decrease in the figures for the prairie
states is due to the fact that Iowa
has apparently lost the greater part
of its former industry in the build
ing Of horse-drawn vehicles, besides
woodenware and novelty manufact-
uring industry which in 1911 required
20 million feet of lumber.

How Potatoes Should Be Stored.

BOHEMIAN, Nov. 11.-Dry rot of
potatoes causes losses running all the
way from four to 80 per cent and
particularly this year, when the crop
is short and prices are high, growers
will do well to take every precaution
to prevent the disease, says H. E..
Morris, plant pathologist for the Mon
tana Experiment Station.
According to the scientist, dry rot
is caused by fungus which enters
the potato through the breaks in the
skin. The first step to prevent loss
Is to handle potatoes carefully when
picking, grading and putting them in
bins.
Since the disease develops most rap
idly under warm, moist conditions, DO
tatoes should be stored in small, dry.
well-ventilated bins. If they are placed
IN large bins the ventilation often is
poor at the center of the pile and the
disease may make rapid progress. A
temperature Of about 40 degrees
should be maintained.
Storage bins should be carefully
cleaned and disinfected before new
potatoes are placed in them.
Dry rot causes the centers of pota-
toes to become dry, powdery and a
dark brown in color. There is often
little evidence Of the disease on tha
surface although affected areas usual
ly have wrinkled, sunken appear

YAkT IMPROVEMENT

The improvement to the main line
of the Great Northern railway west
of Troy, and near Yakt siding, was
begun last week by the Morris &
Knutson contracting firm with a
crew of rs men, says the Troy Trib-
une. The camp is being built and
work on the line will soon be under
way.
Its big job is the way Fred
Larson, roadmaster on this district.
described it, and when veteran rail
roader uses those words, it means it
is to be a BIG job.
The estimated cost Of the improve
ment will be in the neighborhood Of
100000, and will probably occupy
the best part of two years. The
work will include Strengthening out
some curves and boring tunnel.
Headquarters for operations will be
about one mile west of Star creek and
about seven miles from Troy.

STRAW AND G0TT0NSSE
CAKE GOOD COW FEED

BOHEMIAN, Nov. 26.-Straw and
cottonseed cake are good feeds for
winteriEg cows if the cows start the
winter in good condition, according
to experiments at the North Montana
Experiment Station at Havre. With
this feed the cows will about hold their
own and the calves will be just as
we'll developed as if more elaborate
rations are fed, the experiments in
dicate.
If cows are in poor conditions in
the fall they should be fed hay, and
the Montana experiments show that
oat hay is better for this purpose
than any other that is usually avail
able in this state.
Cows wintered on straw should be
given about one pound of cottonseed
cake per head per day. If plenty of al
falfa is available, five pounds of this
hay may be used instead of the cot
tonseed cake.
The value Of different kinds of hay
for winter feeding is shown in the
following figures, the results of two
years of trials at the North Mon
tana experiment station. The feed
ing periods last ia days.
Cows gained 10 pounds per head on
alfalfa, 35 pounds on oat hay, 40
pounds on sweet clover, 83 pounds
on corn fodder and 81 pounds on blue
joint hay. The average amount of feed
daily to produce these results was
1877 pounds of alfalfa, 1876 pounds of
oat hay, 17.3 pounds of sweet clover,
21.4 pounds of corn fodder and 1879
pounds of blue joint hay. The total
hay fed was 2,253 pounds of alfalfa,
1885 pounds of oat hay, 1888 pounds
of sweet clover, 2,086 pounds of corn
fodder and 2,087 pounds of bluejoint
hay.
Considering the total amounts of
feed required the oat hay gave the
best results. There was little to choose
between alfalfa, sweet clover and
bluejoint hay. Corn fodder was least
economical.
