Bill Roberts Looks Back to Days
OF Trail Herds, Tough Living

Bill Roberts Of Miles City looks bach
on 10 years in Montana-days of trail
herding. range riding and adventure
Robust and active. Roberts shows nc
traces Of the hardships he encoun-
tered when the west was primarily q
vast cattle country.
Nearly 50 years ago. Roberts became
interested in the cattle industry and
in 1897 found employment as q
wrangler with the Kilt, famed
throughout the south as a cattle ranch
beyond "any reasonable proportions "
Operated by the Farrell brothers. this
ranch, according to Roberts, at one
time embraced 100000 acres and
about 10000 head of cattle were run
on this vast prairie empire.
The fence on the Kilt" Roberts
recalled, ran for 265 miles. and so
great was the expanse of the ranch
that it was operated in eight divisions
The Farrells started in with about l.
0OO, 1000 acres and went to London and
obtained funds with which to increase
their holdings to 5000 600 acres. All
this was in the panhandle"
Roberts was unable to estimate the
Va iAASil CiiiPlosSo Ny I2lC
KILT but remembers that although
employed on the ranch for five years
he never saw scores of the wranglers
and helpers. The land within the Far
rell's rangeland empire was purchased
for about 81 an acre.
In 1902, Roberts was with a crew
ordered to convey 1900 head of cattle
to Montana. The Farrells in this period
ran thousands of head Of cattle in
Montana, in addition to Texas
On June IA. the big trail herd was
safely brought to its destination on
13-mile creek near Glendive and re-
leased to Craze on the Montana plains.
Roberts found Montana agreeable
and decided to remain in the state.
He subsequently worked for cattle out
fits in the Miles City area and later
operated the Thu ranch. When he
went to Miles City, he said, the few
buildings we're of logs. The town was
a cattle center and nothing else.

State Farmer Demonstrates
Value of Improved Breeding

Good feeding and management are
all effective in boosting dairy herd
production and profit, but good breed
ing is most important in any long
time program of herd improvement
says ]. o. Tretsven. extension dairy
specialist at Montana State college
AS an Illustration, he points to J.
c. Steiner, Yellowstone county dairy
man. who has raised the average pro-
duction of his 40-head Holstein herd
from 264 pounds Of butterfat per head
to 696 pounds by using only sons Of
proved sires on his cows during a A.
year period. 1t Is also important to
note, Tretsven says, that all these sons
were out Of daughters Of good proved
sires.
With a herd only slightly better than
average. Steiner became a co-operator
of the Huntley field station in 1926
and agreed to use the sons of good
proved sires loaned by the experiment
station. He also began keeping &C.

ranges.
How many thousands of the animals
are to be killed is not known. Anderson
said the number would be great.
He said system had been set up
tentatively to ship the meat to defense
forces-preferably those from Utah-to
all parts Of the world
He reported the killings must take
place as soon as possible because the
big game are at the peak of condition
for the dinner tables Of the soldiers
Next fall, Anderson predicted, thou
sands more may be killed and the
same disposition made of them.
AS an example of the vast deer pop
ulation, Anderson said that big game
kills amounted to more than $4,000
head during the hunting season. or a
meat value-at $40 a head-of $500, 900.
1t was estimated that the ranges are
overpopulated by several thousand
Under the program, all national parks
would be virtually stripped of their
big game.
Deer are big rabbits" Anderson
said. They eat foliage from beneath
trees and cause some difficulty in
watershed work."
On a ratio of weight, about eight
deer are equal to one steer.

curate records on production and costs
In 1926, when the herd was averag-
ing 264 pounds of fat, profits over feed
costs amounted to s46.26 per COW, but
as production increased, returns over
costs rose in proportion. In 1910, with
an average production of 500 pounds,
each COW returned profit over feed
costs Of more than $3.50.
While some of this improvement
must be attributed to better all
around job of dairying, nevertheless a
large part Of it can be credited to the
better inheritance introduced by sons
of good proved sires, Tretsven said. o
Dairymen interested in improving
their herds as Steiner has done viii

Gold Mining Entire
SuDDOrt of 30 TOlDl1s

The gold in them thar hills" is OF

Tom D. Caverly, co-ordinator OF
mines for the state, reported to DR.
Wilbur A. Nelson, administrator Of
mine priorities for the OPM. that 80
Montana towns with a total popula-
ton of 6.667 depended entirely upon
gold mining, and that other persons
depending upon the industry for their
livelihood brought the total to 1928
Approximately 2,817 Montanans are
employed in lode gold mines and 600

The report was contained in letter

well as its regular economy with only
as much petroleum as United States
oil fields are now producing in less
than 10 days.
Although petroleum is the most vital
Of war materials and although Japan,
like Germany, is deficient in petrole-
UNI supplies, the few facts known about
both countries indicate that the guam
titles needed to prosecute war are
much less than had been popularity
supposed. Few accurate figures on
Japan are available, but it Is believed
that consumption of petroleum and
petroleum substitutes in 1941, for both
military and civilian needs, amounted
only to about 100000 barrels. Motor
fuel consumption in New York state
alone is much greater than this JAP
anese consumption OF all petroleum
products.
Crude oil production in Japan, Man.
churia and Formosa, and Japan's
share Of production from the Russian
oil fields of Sakhalin probably totals
only about 100000 barrels a year.
Estimates of production Of oil from
the oil shale deposits in Manchuria
range from 100000 to 3,5OO00O bar
rels. Production of alcohol and ben
zol, which can be used for motor fuel,
probably is between 100000 and 1885,
900 barrels year.
A huge synthetic oil industry to
manufacture petroleum products from
coal has been under construction in
Japan, Manchuria, Korea and SAX
halin for five years, but there is little
agreement among outside experts on
its present capacity. Estimates of 1941
synthetic oil production range all the
way from 100000 to 100000 bar
rels. 1t is known, however, that the
difficulty in obtaining equipment from
Germany and the reported shortages
of coal have interrupted the schedule,
which called for production of 26,0OO,-
900 barrels by 1912.

LIQUOR REVENUE
INCREASE SHOWN

The total net revenue Of the Mon
tana liquor control board for the first
II months Of 1941 was s2,632,l9574,
compared with s2.422 1899 for the
same portion Of 1910. Ray L. VAIL,
administrator, reported.
November sales showed a slight de-
crease, s58l ,l24.75, as compared with
$620.9l0.99 In November Of last year.
Wahl said the decrease probably
was caused by the number Of persons
leaving Montana for defense Jobs else
where. and by the heavy buying dur
ing September prior to tax and price
increases.
Wahl said the state probably would
gain quite few thousand dollars
from various large distilleries which
engaged in a price war in New York
last winter.
He said offers Of refunds had been
obtained from two distilleries and are
expected from others since, by agree
ment, Montana Is entitled to the same
price offered to any state or wholesale
buyer.
Wahl recently conferred with dis
tillers concerned after the state Of
Virginia obtained similar refunds. The
present offers will be considered by
the Montana board.
The administrator said defense needs
have affected the liquor supply al
though no immediate shortage Is FORE
seen.
In the boards financial statement,
a total gross income of s3,274585 SO
during the first II months of 194l and
operating expenses of s642, 390.24 were
reported.

On COnserDinu Tires

Inaugurattng nationwide rubber
conservation campaign, the office Of
production management called upon
the country's 100000 car owners to
observe 10 rules to make tires last
longer. The rules, necessary to conserve
rubber as far as possible because of
rubber shortage since the japanese
cut off an important source of supply,
follow:
Have worn tires retreaded instead of
buying new ones; cut high speeds:
initiate tires weekly to recommended
levels; don't stop short or make jack
rabbit starts; avoid striking curbs and
other obstacles; check wheel alignment
twice . year: repair all cuts, leaks
and breaks promptly; change wheel
positions every 5000 miles; always get
the tire made to fit the rim Of your
car, and don't speed around csrvea.
