Perfumes and Spices

HOW BLITHELY we take for
granted the nice things in life,
such as sugar and spice, with
nary a thought as TO from
whence they came. Take spices,
for instance. Early American

on the Mayflower, so imagine
their delight when enterprising
sea captains began trading with

Once the discovery was made,
pepper was brought back by the

Europe. for we are told that
what Columbus really started TO
find when he discovered our
lovely continent was a
shorter route to the spice lands
of the East.
American shipmasters soon
set up a lively spice trade but
the natives were tricky. soaking
nutmegs in milk so they would
not grow if planted elsewhere,
thereby doing them out of their

a tasteless triumph Stan

He'd grown up on them.
Poor old Stan you feel
sorry for him. He drives a hard
bargain but has heart of gold
and is the loneliest fellow in all

social snobbery and unrequlted

The Snow Goose

OUT OF the war come some
queer stories. There will be
more of them. Whether its
pure fiction OF fact, we like one
lust written by Paul Calico en-
titled The Snow Goose" pub
lished by Knopf.
The snow goose was just a
bird with a broken wing, Can
ada goose to be exact. How 1t
got TO the Essex coast nobody
knows, but through its misfor-
tune a man and a girl became
fast friends.
And when the man enlisted his
services in the drama of Dun
kirk the snow goose went along,
following the small boat as it
rode the waves.
They tell the story in a Lon
don pub "a goose, a bloomln
goose. so 'elp me and then

It's the kind of a little book

FEEDER CATTLE
COME TO STATE
OUTLOOK FOR FUTURE BRIGHT
FOR MONTANA SHEEP AND
CATTLE GROWERS

Montana cattle and sheep are enter
ing the spring period in excellent con-
dition, and with bright future" DR..
w. j. Butler, state veterinarian, an
nOunced.
All things being equal" he said,
"stockmen should have a good year
with health conditions ideal and the
feed factor well taken care Of
Except in individual cases, he said,
cattle and sheep had suffered no dis
ease outbreaks during the winter
months.
The only outbreak of illness which
has occasioned attention recently, said
the state veterinarian, was an alimen-
tary Enthusiastically not found in
sheep-in a small flock in the Town
send area.
Feeder cattle are already moving in
to the state in great numbers, DR.. But
Ter said, principally from Texas and
Mexico.
In explaining the range burden, the
chief veterinarian said the normal
million and a half cattle in the state
would be increased probably 600, 900 by
normal calf crop, while the three
and half million sheep would become
four and half million with an ex-
pected normal lambing season.
Added to these are feeder stock, al

SOIL FERTILITY
MAJOR PROBLEM

A problem on irrigated land is that
of maintaining soil fertility Plant food
is lost from the soil not only by go
ing into growing crops. but also by
being leeched out by the very water
that makes plant growth possible. In
creasingly, farmers on irrigated tracts
are turning to livestock as a source
of supply of the plant food to be re-
turned to the soil. Manure from the
sheep or cattle on feed has an actual
cash value, measured by the available
plant food it contains. But livestock
has other advantages, too. In many
irrigated areas cattle or sheep provide
profitable market for the hay and
feed grains of the district. There are
other benefits through the diversified
ton of sources of farm income.
The growing interest in livestock
feeding on irrigated tracts was demon
strated one chilly day last January
when nearly 300 men visited nine
farms on the Waller, Mont, project,
inspecting feed lots and learning how
they might adapt feeding to their own
operations. In charge of the tour was
Blaine Ferguson, Waller, member of the
Conrad Production Credit association.
The P. C. A. was one Of the sponsors
OF the event. Ferguson practices what
he preacheS-feeds l,500 lambs. His
1i-year-old son, David, a freshman in
high school and green hand" in his
Future Farmer chapter, has 10 feeder
lambs for his first project in his vo-
catlOnal agriculture course.

NEW ANACONDA
FERTILIZER WILL
HELP GROWERS
CONTAINS MORE Plant FOOD
UNITS But PRICE Is LOW TO
MONTANANS

R. A Jones. sales manager Of the
Anaconda Sales Co. Anaconda, has
announced new product. the Ana
conda lawn and garden fertilizer.
The new fertilizer, 10000, is being
made from formula especially de-
veloped for use in western soils. Analy-
sis shows that western soils are de-
ficient in nitrogen and phosphate but
contain a sufficiency of potash. The
new Anaconda lawn and garden prod
uct Is designed to meet this need. 1t
analyses 10 units of nitrogen and 20
units of phosphate, for a total OF 30
units of plant food Most fertilizers
contain about l6 units.
There are three distinct forms of
nitrogen in Anaconda lawn and gar
den fertiliZer-calcium nitrate. which
is very soluble and gives the plant a
quick kick: organic cyanamide. and
ammonium sulphate. Nitrogen in these
three forms furnishes steady flow of
this food element to the plant.
Because the new Anaconda fertilizer
contains twice as many units of plant
food. it will go twice as far-two
pounds will do the work of four pounds
of ordinary fertilizer. Though the new
fertilizer contains twice as much plant
food as is normally furnished, the price
is no higher. 1t will be available
through feed stores, hardware stores,
and other dealers. in bags containing
from ! to 100 pounds.

BEET CONTRACTS
BEING SIGNED

Members of the Mountain States
Beetgrowers association, representing
the Billings factory district, have been
released to contract with the Great
Western Sugar Co. for the l941 beet
crop, association directors announced.
P. H. McMaster, sugar company fac
tory manager, said signing of indi-
vidual contracts with growers will start
within the next couple of days; in
the. meantime planting will proceed
rather rapidly as thousands of acres of
land already are prepared"
A statement released by marketing
association directors regarding 1871
contracts offered by the sugar COM
pany said, this contract does not meet
the approval of directors, because it
does not comply with the fair price
determination of the secretary of ag-
riculture in regard to elimination Of
the clause which provides for a reduc-
ton in payments TO growers when net
proceeds from the sale of sugar fail
below s325 per hundredweight.

When the chicks arrive poultry rails
erS are apt to devote all their attention
20 the new arrivals and neglect the
laying flock. This is the time of year
when the laying flock needs particular
attention because of the long months
Of winter confinement and the high
egg production that has been obtained
from well-bred flocks.
One of the first signs of danger in
having flocks is decline in feed con-
sumption. If the hens seem to lack suf-
amount Of mash and grain, steps
should be taken to stimulate the nee
eSsary feed consumption.
One of the first ways to increase feed
consumption is to vary the diet or the
manner in which the feed is presented
Moist mashes can be fed with milk or
appetizing green feed to bring feed
consumption up to the necessary level
for continued egg production.
Sometimes appetites and vitality can
be stimulated through conditioners in
the mash, and these need be fed for
only short period to obtain the de-
sired results. Such a stimulant to ap-
petites also will pep up tagging body
functions digestive secretions, and the
entire system.
1t is well to examine a few hens to
see if they have not developed heavy
infestation of worms since they were
placed in the laying house in the fall.
Roundworm eggs will develop in % days
and can be picked up from the drop
pings of the hens, particularly if grain
is fed in the litter, as it often is to
promote exercise.
Chronic digestive disturbances may
appear in laying flocks, and these can
be corrected by drinking water medi-
cines which will relieve the inflamma-
ton of the inteStineS.

Gradual expansion of corn acreage
together with increased average yields
is moving this crop into the place it
deserves in Montanas agricultural
picture, says Ralph d. Mercer. extern
sion agronomist at Montana State COL
lege.
A number of factors are responsible
for the increase in corn acreage in re-
cent years, Mercer said. One factor is
the vigorous program being carried on
by the Montana extension service
through its county agents and special
lists. Another is the more favorable
growing conditions Of the last few years
together with the use of recommended
corn varieties and improved cultural
methods.
Last year Montana farmers harvest
ed total OF $4,000 acres OF corn as
compared with 10000 acres in 1889
and with the l0-year l929-193S) av-
erage OF $4,000 acres. AS acreage has

years average yield of l6 bushels per
acre shows n decided improvement
over the l3-bushel average for 1889
and the 9.5-bushel average for the 10
year period l929-l93S.
Because of its value rs a feed and
fodder producer, corn fits in well in
both irrigated and dry land areas OF
the state, Mercer said.
To obtain as much information as
possible on how different varieties per-
form in various parts OF the state,
county agents in cooperation with
farmers carry on corn variety tests in
which the open-pollinated varieties
recommended for the state are COM
pared with each other and with hyb-
ridS that have proven satisfactory in
