WINTER OF '8s AGAIN

Is it the winter of 1876" or '89" all
over again? Certainly it would seem
SO to hundreds of ranchers with
thousands of head of livestock in
danger of starvation or freezing
throughout the vast area on the
eastern slope of the Rocky noun
tain range. The daily stories COM
ing out of the most critical areas
seem exaggerated, but not to those
who are there, or even to those who
have been near the areas.
In some parts of southern Wyo-
ming the sheep loss is reported at Is
percent, cattle 10 percent, with some
livestock owners reporting losses of
So percent, the latter in the case of
Brahma-Hereford crosses. On the
edge of the main storm area in
southeastern Wyoming I saw drifts
Montana farmer-stockman., 1949-02-01

II to IS feet high, and heard first
hand reports that would dwarf this
picture.
We saw cattle in mid-January that
slooked tough" Weak, half-starved
and cold, in range country that af-
forded no shelter from bowling
winds and snow, and no feed, either
on the deeply snow-covered hills or
any possibility of any being brought
in. We travelled for so miles with
out seeing a single hay or straw
stack; just rolling hills, deep snow
and perhaps an isolated windmill
once in a while in the distance.
Heavy Losses
Not all losses can be reported now
more billiards and snow during
late January and possibly two more
months of heavy winter, will bring
totals to millions of dollars in direct
losses. At calving time and lambing
time next spring, even though the
weather is mild, weak, half-starved
cows will turn up, with calf crops
only a fraction of normal. Even this
early we can well think of $40" as
being in the same class as "89."
The best answer this year seems

Cross Leads

A LANDRACE-POLAND China
cross is now leading all other breeds
being tested for percentage of pre-
ferred cuts by the u. S. bureau of
animal husbandry at Beltsville, Md.
Latest reports show that the cross
has dressed out an average of 48.7
percent of such cuts as ham, loin,
bacon, picnic shoulder and shoulder
butts.
The study has been conducted
since 1945 and reports last year
showed the Landrace-C Chester White
cross to be in the lead. This cross
is now in second place, closely fol-
lowed by Landrace-Large Black.

nurSeryman, horticulturist-au are
n and the same, Nelson himself.
However, he does hope to have at
least n helper, a farm foreman, in
April.
Like any other farm or ranch, the
new station is building up from the
bottom; like most others, the funds
are low and, since starting, much of
the land has remained in cash crops
so that funds might be accumulated
for machinery, necessary buildings,
seed and the like.
Plans are well under way, how
ever, and the station you see a few
years hence will be a material help
to agriculture in eastern Montana
as well as a point of interest and
beauty in that area. Located at Sid
ney, the station will have a far
reaching effect throughout that area.
Sub-experiments will be conducted
through the station in almost every
county in that part of the state.
Further study may expand or cur
tail them, but here are a few of the
things that Nelson and I went over
regarding the future of the station.
Much work will be done on study of
new and better adapted pasture
mixtures for the lower Yellowstone
area CHuntley mixture not too well
adapted here), and this would nat
urally be followed by studies of gain,
etc. of beef animals and sheep on
irrigated pasture grasses. The lower
Yellowstone and lower Missouri are
considered the corn belt of Mon
tana; hybrid varieties of corn will be
a big consideration. The same goes
for flax. Sugar beets will certainly
enter the picture, as will irrigation
practices and management.
As the Eastern Montana branch is
composed of two units a few miles
apart-one in the irrigated valley OF
the lower Yellowstone, the other on
the non-irrigated bench 1and-the
latter section of the station will be
the scene of much work on new and
better adapted varieties of corn
flax, barley, wheat and pasture mix.
lures.
The continuing story of the East.
ern branch will be another chapter
in the station" story, and anothel
big step upward for Montana's agri
culture.

to be clearing roads and hauling hay
and concentrates by truck and
wagon to livestock. Much daily
paper space is devoted to airplane
feed bombing, a practice that sounds
good but one which will waste a lot
of feed, carry but a fraction of
needed tonnage, but will garner pub
licity by the yard. Next year will
see more eserv of feed on the
home place and not so much willing
to go on year after year in an
open range country with no thought
of a hard winter and its possible ON
sequences.

and shown in individual competition
All the Great Names
The National Western is probably
one of the largest breeding cattle
shows in the nation; classes of Here
fords here would make the Interna-
tional look small, I am told. Down
the row-upon-row of fitted cattle,
you see and look over all the present
great names in the breeds; the A Bar
A cattle, the Elton herd, blacks
from the Penney farm, from Wood
lawn, from Great Oaks and from
Shady Lane. You see the Milky
Ways, the Herring cattle, the
Rancho Sacatal, Belsky, Parkes,
OXO, Silver Crest, Fulscher, Lar
gent, Mosley, and dozens of other
famous names above the cattle.
You thought you had seen large
sales before, until the Hereford sale
here which lasted from 9 a. m. until
after midnight without a break, to
ring up an average of $1,898 ON 189
head.
Montana Wyoming Buyers
Montana and Wyoming buyers
were there to the end, and Cronk
Bros, Savoy; Ralph Pepper, Wilsan;
Leon Hendricks, Fromberg; Irving
Ballard, Belgrade; A. G. Bayers,
Twin Bridges; Arnold Hack, Tom
Watson, Vern Watson and E. H.
Bodley, all of Hobson; Pettapiece
and Kruse, Eden; Mosley Hereford
ranch, Jackson Hole, Wyoming; Hol-
land Ranch Co., Laramie; Stelbar
ranch, Douglas; Earl Won Forell,
Wheatland, and Bob Miller, Big
Piney, Wyo., all came away with
range or herd bull prospects. High
price in this group was paid by A.
c. Bayers, who paid $4,000 for a
grandson of Domino Lad C 18th, and
Arnold Hack who paid $4,000 for a
Baca Duke Dom. LIST son.
In the Angus sale, N Bar Ranch,
Grass Range, purchased the cham
pion pen of five bulls. Archie
Ginther, Harlowton rancher, was the
judge of the pen lot bulls at Denver
for the second consecutive year.
New Record Price
This year the champion pen Of
feeder calves went for II cents, a
new worlds record. They were pur-
chased by a commission firm and
sent to Boys Town, Neb., where they
will be fed. The selling price of the
champion carload of feeder steers
down through the years is an inter-
esting story. In 1906, the champion
carload averaged 1,169 pounds. They
sold at $5.95. In 1914, the champion
load was again 2-year-olds, averag-
ing 1,043 pounds and selling at
$1,000. In 1920, the load averaged
919 pounds of %yearlings, selling at
$3.50. And so ON down, picking
years at random from the list: 1927
calves averaging 586 pounds at $40;
1884 calves averaging 435 pounds al
$13; 1910 calves averaging 450
pounds at SIT; 1913 calves averag-
ing 537 pounds at $3.50. The Wallis
Huidekoper champion carload In
1924 still stands as the only Montana
record in this classification.

should be made at least a year m
advance, and grade transcripts, per-
sonal interviews and letters of rec
concentrations, should be completed
at least six months before registra-
ton day. Well chosen letters of rec
ommendation, especially from vet
erinarians, are helpful but will not
overcome a mediocre record of
school grades. 1t is usually best to
make application to three or four
colleges-just in a
A western boy expecting to 10
cate in the west should select Colo
RADIO, Texas, Kansas, Washington or
California colleges, rather than the
eastern schools. The type of general
training in the western schools is
just enough adjusted to western
conditions that it is preferable for
western students. But the day has
long ago passed when a boy could
pack his bag and start to a veterin-
airy college without even notifying
the registrar of his intentions. Now
adays it requires careful planning,
two or three years ahead.
Starting from his school, it is a
six-year course; two "pre-vet" years
at some state college and four years
at a veterinary college. This is a
long drag, and a boy should get an
early start, at 20 or 81, if possible.
Starting at 25 to % years, there will
be gray hairs showing before he gets
his veterinary degree. There is no
shortcut, no correspondence course.
No one that has not completed the
six years can obtain a license to
practice in any state.
Possible Opportunities
After graduation there are many
forks in the road. The federal gov
eminent offers a wide diversity of
jobs-research, field jobs, meat in
spection, work in various angles of
disease control work in New Mexi-
co Oh Vermont or Oregon or Florida
Or at any point between the ex-
tremes. The states offer a limited

THE NATIONAL WESTERN

And so I went to the National
Western. One of my travelling COM
panions vas attending for the Oath
time, and he led me to believe it was
a big thing. He was wrong-it was
a tremendously big thing, this Dem
yer show.
First off some big guy tried to take
my tin trunk away from me at the
door of the hotel; we wrestled, I
won. Putting the old feet under the
table takes a vocabulary, and you
wise up fast or go broke. Take a
nice tenderloin steak; good I
thought, and only $3.50. But in Den
yer you get half of that same ten
der1oin under the name filet mignon,
some extra table tools and a finger
bowl at $3.50.
You find it advisable to take a
taxi to the stock show, you will take
them on the left fender going and
coming if you don't cooperate any
way. After you get there you can
get back to chewing tobacco and
having a great time. Purebred

Two Revenue Bills
Prepared by West

Corporation Counsel Vernon E.
West has prepared two revenue bills
for approval by the Commissioners
with view to balancing the munic-
ipal budget in 1850.
Only perfunctory approval by the
city heads is awaited on the first
bill, which calls for a per cent
sales tax and a $4,000 exemption on
personal income and business taxes.
The Commissioners are counting on
passage of this measure over some
Senate opposition to balance the
1850 budget of $103, 100000.
The second bill, proposed by Com
missioner Guy Mason, but still wait
ing for approval byi the Board Of
Commissioners, would double the
alcoholic beverage license fee and
liquor tax.
Mr.. Vests action in drawing up
the measures was purely routine.
/ Doubling the liquor tax fees
would bring the District an esti-
mated $5,500,O0O in fiscal 1950-the
amount the District would have to
spend if Congress approves a $3.50
pay raise for District government
employees
If Congress fails to grant the pay
raise, but does authorize the pro-
posed sales-income tax measures,
the Districts 1850 budget will bal
ance with $1,O00,O00 to spare. Pas
sage of the pay bills, without enact
ment of the proposed new revenue
levies, would put the city in the hole
for $5,000,000 at the end of 1949 and
$18,000,00O at the end of 1850.
