The two hog feeding experiments

only l.2zsurrds per day
The experiments were concluded
about the middle of November and
knowing the amount Of grain fed per
hundred pound gain and the market
price of pork, the calculations showed
That wheat cost 1892 for each hun

LONGEST BUSINESS DEPRESSION
LASTED 01HY 70 MUNTnS

BOHEMIAN, Dec. 23.-The longest
downward swing In business lasted
only 20 months according to Paul Car
penter in the Montana Agricultural
Outlook for November; following mr.
investigation of the duration of other
business depressions, and he gives a
few reasons why improvements in the
wheat situation may be expected
Business goes IN great swings, forg
ing upward for time and then down
ward" according to Mr. Carpenter. In
the business depression that started in
January, 1898, die downward swing
lasted for II months and then very
definite upward turn started. Another
depression started irr May, 1907, and
continued downward for 10 months. In
1920 the downward swing started in
January and lasted for full 20
months History is about the only
guide for forecasting the future and
according to the duration of these
downward swings the past IT months
of falling prices should be followed by
better conditions especially in the
spring when the usual Improvement in
buying power takes place
When wheat dropped to SO cents for
60 pounds November Is In the accent
freight zone, history was made, accord
ing to Mr.. Carpenter. When it is con-
sidered that wheat is worth so very
much more for other than bread max
ing purposes there seems to be little
likelihood of it reaching this level
again
Some Of the encouraging features
about the wheat situation is that 1T Is
now a real competitor for corn. oats
and barley. Although the United States
and Canada will have about normal
crop, the rosy prospects in Argentina
will have TO materialize before the
world crop will be close to the 1929
production. Even If this does happen,
the numerous bushels that are disap-
pearing via feed plus the increased
consumption and the fact that Ge
foreign trade in both wheat and floaf
Is ahead Of the fall months of 1929, all
act together to give encouragement to
the wheat farmer, according to Mr.
Carpenter.

PROMISES DRASTIC CHANGE
lat MONTANA UNIVERSITY

State University, Missoula, Dec 81
Drastic changes in the present educa-
tional system at the State University
were outlined by President c. H Clapp
at meeting of the faculty last week
and in special interview today
The general outlined of the plan
would include the division of the Uni
versity into junior and senior college,
the junior college to be composed OF
freshmen and sophomores and the SEN
ior college to be made up of juniors
and seniors. The present system OF
quizzes and grades would be continued
but general examinations would be
given at the end of the sophomore and
senior years
AT the end of the sophomore year,
students who have carried meseIy the
minimum amount of studisssWill be
especially questioned on their other
activities and on the general accom-
plishments before being admitted te
Junior standing.
Under the proposed system, all stu
dents would be required to attend the
school for four years but there would
be no restriction upon the number oil
subjects to be carried and there would
be much less restriction in the choice
of subjects. The plan would also pro-
vide for much larger classes and
twenty minute conferences between
instructors and students.
All of this is as yet, OF course, only
a partially formed plan," said DR.
Clapp Many problems remain to be
worked out before it can be put into
effect"
