CAPACITY
~iDETERMINED
t1yCATION BY STATE COLLEGE
RLAINS QUICK METHOD OF
nv DETERMINING VALUES

\ | MONTANA STATE COLLEGE)
A quick method Of determining
lease values Of range lands based uD-
on productivity and . means Of COM
pairing individual ranch production
costs with the average Of large area,
are contained in . new publication
prepared recently by M. H. Sander
Montana Experiment station, senior
author, and H. G. Bolster, extension
land economist.
The first part Of the study gives
the carrying capacity Of different
grades Of range lands of the Great
Plains area and the western or noun
tain region of Montana for 10-month
grazing period. The grades Of land
specified are those resulting from CO.
ordinating the facts obtained. in the
Montana Experiment stations soil sur
veys. land classification and use data
of the Montana Extension service, and
grazing Information provided by the
forest service.
Carrying capacity is translated into
lease values by the co-authors by an
alyzing and coordinating information
on ranch organizations, production
costs and selling prices Of beef, lambs,
and wool from 200 Montana sheep and
cattle ranches over the period 1928-32
This also is supplemented by historical
data on the trends of range sheep and
cattle prices and production costs for
the 40-year period 1890 to 1880.
For rapid reference. the essential in
formation is given in tabular form.
The first tables give the carrying cap
acity per section for each of five grades
of land It covers both sheep and cat
tle Another table gives the lease values
of land per acre at various prices for
wool sheep and range beef. This also
is for five grades of land.
The entire study is condensed into
an SPACE publication entitled, Lease
Values of Montana Range land" which
may be obtained without cost by writ
ing the Montana Experiment station.

Marcus Howell, believed to be
Blaine county's oldest citizen, cele-
brated his Tooth birthday few days
ago, and friends arranged a dance
in honor of the event at the Snake
creek schoolhouse near the log cabin
where he lives, few miles southeast
of Zurich. Mr.. Howell has been q
resident Of Blaine county since
1914, coming there from Darlington,
N. D., where he lived for a quarter Of
a century.
Born in Belmont county, Ohio, Aug.
16, 1885, Of Pennsylvania Dutch stock
he Moved to Illinois when he was 10
years old and farmed there about 10
years, also working as veterinarian,
trade in which he was given prac-
teal training by his father. He later
lived in Missouri for 20 years or so
before going to North Dakota.
Mr.. Howell still does most Of the
work around his small farm without
help. His special pride is vegetable
garden in which he does all the cul-
tivating and in which not a weed is
to be found. He has cleared the
brush from several acres of the farm
hard work all his life, he says he is
mot satisfied just to sit around"
A few years ago, well past his Goth
year, he was badly injured by cave
in in coal mine. He refused to 60
to hospital, but took care Of his own
injuries, q crushed chest, broken
shoulder blade and three broken ribs.
Within a few weeks he was back at
the coal mine. Later he broke three
more ribs when he fell against log
while carrying another log, and again
he treated himself.
He said his main ambition is to
60 back to the coal mine after his
Tooth birthday and mine load Of
coal with his own hands. Apparently
he is able to do it.
He has married three times, his
one daughter living in Ohio. A son
died at Chinook in 1917 at the age Of
IS. Mr.. Howell offers no special for
mula for attaining longevity, though
he believes hard work. such as he has
known all his life. keeps man in
shape to ward off ills. He sees no
harm in tobacco and enjoys smoking
his pipe. though he thinks hard liz
uor should be avoided.

Farmers gross income from 1884

Mahan Has Woman
Companion, Revealed

Though the trail left by William
Mahan, alias, Dainard, the Weyer-
haeuser kidnaper, has long since grown
cold in these parts, where, on June 9,
he eluded Butte officers, a never ending
quest is being kept by authorities.
A few days ago, Police Chief Jere
Murphy of Butte announced, officers
found out that the day before Mahan
was seen in Butte he was with another
man and woman at MelroSe.
Once before, when he sought Sc
clusion from a felony in Butte, a woman
opened her home to him, records show.
For that reason it is entirely likely,
the veteran police head believes, that
the missing snatch ring leader may be
with a fair companion.
Butte police haven't seen hide nor
hair of the elusive Mahan since he went
over a garden fence after leaving SIS
900 in ransom notes in parked car
nearby.

15-Bushel Yield Is
Average at Dutton

With the harvest season but a few
days off an estimate of an average
crop yield Of around is bushels per acre
has been received. Crops in the Dut-
ton section are from fair to good. A
field on the Ben Loeb farm west Of
Dutton will yield close to Is bushels, it
Is conservatively estimated.
Contrary to past years the strip west
of Dutton on the Choteau road will see
the best harvest. This road is sided
by fine crops which should yield in the
neighborhood of ID bushels. West Of
Collins the average yield will be some
what lighter, with many strips which
were partially hailed out.
Present weather conditions are ideal
for combining, which is expected to
start in some sections near Dutton in
q few days.
