SEEK ANSWERS TO
STOCK PROBLEMS
CATTLEMEN AND SPECIALISTS TO
MAKE SURVEY ON MAR
KETING
QuestiOnnaires VIII Be Distributed
Through County Agents to All Stock
Raisers in State for Comprehensive
Review of Shipping, Handling.

Three important questions that
have been puzzling StOckmen for
years may be answered soon
through a joint effort involving
cattiemen of the state and spe-
cialists from the Montana agricuI-
tural experiment station and the
Montana extension service. Each of
the questiOns-What is the cost of
marketing Montana livestock?
What are the shrinks in live
weight? and, Are fast runs more
economical than stopping and
feeding? If answered and inter
preted properly may boost net
profits, according to e. Paul Or
cutt, extension livestock specialist.
circuit, with the aid of MARKETING
specialists Is seeking the answers
missionaries which are be-
ing distributed to cattle shippers by
county extension agents.
The search for the proper answers
was requested of the Montana extern
sion service last winter by the Mon
tana Stockgrowers association through
Tom Ross of Chinook, former associ-
alton president.
In order to get the correct answers
Orcutt is appealing to cattlemen of
the state. They will be reached by
agents who will get loading
dates, weigh representative cars and
explain the purpose of the question
naire. The missionaries are being
sent into every county which has an
extension agent and circuit hopes to
get at least one QUESTIONABLE from
each county. Some county agents have
already reported.
When all renorts are in the y,ateria al
will be analysed and returned to the
itockmen who co-operated, circuit says.
Names of shippers will not be pub
ished
Although the study this year will
cover cattle only, circuit plans to ex-
end it to lambs next year.

George spent a pleasant interlude In
the villages of the Grow Indians be-
fore leaving for civilization. Returning
to the Tongue river fort, Bridger turned
southwark to Fort Laramie and his
own Fort Bridger, while Gore sent his
outfit overland to Fort Union, and
rode down the Yellowstone on flat
boats.
The happy ending of Sir Georges
outing turned sour at Fort Union when
Commander Alexander CulbertSon re-
voked his agreement to take Gore S
wagons and livestock in p yment for
the construction of boats for the
descent of the Missouri river to st,
Louis.
In high dudgeon Sir George had all
his equipment piled in front of the
fort, and kept it guarded until every
thing inflammable was in ashes. The
iron work was gathered up and sunk
in the river so that no one at the
fort might profit apenny at his ex-
pense. His livestock he sold or gave to
vagabond hangers-on and Indians at
the fort.
FavOrite at Fort
With the two flatboats from the
Tongue river Sir George drifted down
to Fort Berthold to spend the winter
of 1861. Here he became great
favorite with the men at the fort and
with the Indians. When conservation
interfered with sport, however, Sir
George sacrificed conservation. He and
his men were so lavish in their slaugh-
ter of buffalo that both Indians and
traders set up a howl that reached to
Washington, and official steps were
taken to check the activities of the
nobleman and his party.
Returning to st. Louis in 1857 by
steamboat, Sir George returned to his
native Britain with a store of expert
ences upon which to reminisce for
many ripening year.
One can picture him back at home
strutting his frontier stuff before less
ventureSome Britons, describing pic
turesque Old Jim Bridger and his tall
stories in high color for the amusement
and beWilderment of his noble cronies.

Wind on Firing Line.

Lyons has caught his second wind
as a pitcher and is moving on
strongly again. The same goes for
Bridges. Greenberg, switched to
the outfeld, will shine there-or at
first base if Rudy York doesn't hold
up. Mccoy, most talked of ball
player through the winter months,
has new incentive to pay off on
the early promise he gave.
Feller is headed for his best year
so far and figures to top last years
mark of "a victories. Case has re-
vived the almost forgotten art Of
base stealing. He is as fast as he
was a year ago-and smarter
Derringer and Walters won 81
games between them last year as
they pitched the Reds to a pen
nant. That's a high mark to shoot
at but If they miss it they will not
miss it by much.
If Medwick gets over his peeve
at Ray Blades-and he should with
q pennant in sight for the Cardinals
from the start-he and Mize will
put on a stirring race for batting
honors in the National League.
Slaughter is a rising slugger who
may upset both Medwick and Mize.
Miller will be the best shortstop
In the league if Leo Durocher's
throwing arm doesn't mend-or If
Vaughan doesn't pull comeback to
head him off. But whatever hap
pens Eddie will be right up there
