Montana farmer-stockman., 1952-11-15

With strict disease control program
in Finland, the Finnish poultry farm
er is not confronted with many of
the severe diseases, such as New
castle, that we have in America.
But Tiitola has other interests be-
sides poultry. On our way down to-
ward the lake we stopped to inspect
a group of selected young trees of
curly birch. Curly birch is used
widely in the Finnish furniture in
dustry. The farm has some $50 acres
of carefully managed forestland,
mostly spruce and pine, but with
around 5000 trees of curly birch.
Tiitola marks the trees for cutting
himself. For to the Finnish farmer
it is important to take out of the
forest each year only as much timber
as the forest grows in a year.
Considering Broilers
Isolated from the rest of the pou1-
try, we came onto large pen with
White Leghorn and New Hampshire
pullets and cockerels. These were
from the eggs he had imported from
America last spring. Tiitola is inter
ested in New Hampshires, for he
thinks it might be possible to de-
velop broiler industry in Finland.
Broiler production is almost nom
existent in Scandinavia today.
We stopped at a small pasture long
enough to look at the nine reddish
brown native Finnish milk cows.
Like nearly every Finnish farm,
they keep a small group of milk
cows. The average milk production,
we were told, runs around 5000 to
5000 pounds year.
And Duck Eggs Too
BY now it was lunch time and we
headed back to the farm house. In
the nearby small, rolling wheat field
the Tiitola boys were busy cutting
the grain with binder. We stopped
long enough at one pen to look at the
Khaki Campbell ducks. He had inn
PO1 tC0 OSSO 4AOl11 11OIlCllOs L lie
breed is kept for eggs. Their egg
records would make even the very
best hens earlobes turn green with
envy.
We had lunch in the large upper
story living room with walls of
wide implanted boards, and a large
open fireplace. Pink and red ger
aniums fill the windows overlooking
the poultry range and the deep blue
lake in the distance. Along the walls
are ancient trunks, heirlooms of the
family. The walls are covered with
old muzzle- loading rifles and paint
ed, hand carved horse names, relics
of bygone days.
For good farmers have long lived
in the lake districts of eastern Fin
land. For centuries they have
wrested a living from the rock
strewn land and the deep forest. Per-
haps this is at least in part respon-
sible for the rugged, democratic in
dividualism of today's Finnish
farmer.

TuxpuYer Group Says
Schools Less Crowded

Despite reports of crowded
claSSroomS in some Montana
cities, especially in elementary
grades, the ratio of pupils to
teachers continued downward
in 1950-51, an analysis of teach
er loads on a countrywide basis
reveals. In that year the aver
age ratio of pupils to teachers
was 1871, compared to an aver
age of 1873 the previous year,
the Montana Taxpayers assoc
iation stated today.
twenty-five counties showed
an increase in the ratio, while
in four it remained the same
in 1950-51 as in 1880. In the
other 80 counties a drop in the
average ratio took place.
On the average, high school
teachers had lighter clasSloads
than their fellow teachers in
the grades. The high school av-
erage of 15.9 pupils per teach
er compares with the elemen-
tary average of 19. =
The report reveals that in
Big Horn county the average
ratio of elementary pupils per
teacher was 1875, while the ratio
in high schools was IT.8.
Counties with low pupil
teacher ratios generally have
higher costs of operation COM
puted on a per pupil basis, the
report said, listing Gallatin,
Lake, Carbon, Fergus, Judith
Basin and Powder River as ex-
ampleS. Counties with high
pupil-teacher ratios and cor
reSpondingly low operating
costs were given as Yellow
stone, Lincoln, Broadwater and
Prairie.
