County Farm Income Shows Increa

I Gross farm income for II Flat
head during 1854 is es IN sed at
S7,249,551 by Walt " dritson,
Flathead county agent.
This represents an increase over
last year, but down rom good
years Of 1950-51-52.
The 1854 figure incl ldes farm
produced Christmas trees Of S418,-
500. The 1854 figure without
Christmas trees is S6,831,051 and
compares with S6,I85, ,765 for 1858;
81, 7,888,690 for 1852, S8,593, ,938 for
1851 and S8.620,O05 back in 1850.
DAIRY CORRECTION
Mauritson commented that part
of the reason for ths 1854 gross
income increase is that dairy pro-
duction for 1854 is based on actual
cash paid farmers by dairies. Pre-
viously this was estimated, and it
was 20 per cent low for 1858.
The county agents report con-
tinues with information that poul-
try production is up in numbers.
Beef prices for feeder calves has
increased from last year. Cash
grain crops are likewise up in dol
lar income even with acreage re-
strictions on wheat. 1854 was a
good year though the fall found
ripe grain in the fields and wea-
ther wet. 1858 was dry with July
of that summer the driest in 54
years, hence a reduced yield.
MauritSon-s report on Flathead
farm income does not include the
cherry crop which is largely pro-
duced in Lake county though mar
keted mostly through KaliSpell.
This is at least a S500,00O factor.
The 400 square mile Flathead
valley has 1,450 farms. A farm is
considered or more acres. The
average Flathead farm in the 1850
census contained 236 acres. How
ever one-third the farms are under
40 acres in size.
About 1000 Of the ,450 farmers
depend on their land for most of
their income. Many augment in
come by work in the woods and
and in construction such
as building Hungry Horse Dam
and the Anaconda Aluminium Co.
plant.
CROPS AND LIVESTOCK
Estimated 1854 income for Flat
lead farmers totals S4,062,0 ,05e
rom crop sources and $2,767, 1852
rom livestock and poultry sources.
Dairy farmer receipts, actual
igures and not an estimate, shows
i914,275.84 received. In addition,
here was sale of Gull COWS and
yealers for a total income of ST.
BATS. Dairying has been increas-
ng in the Flathead with over
1000 cows.
The Flathead beef "a f,S.Ey pr0-s
luced $763, ,245. There ysere 1900
ows, 5000 Gull cows, 5,575 steer
alves and 2,257 heifer calves.
OF considerable consequence is
he swine production valued at
'445, 800 and poultry at $452, 500.
Relatively small factor is lamb and
WOOL production valued at S21,-
371.
IMPORTANT CROPS
Most important crops in the
7lathead are wheat, barley and
lay.
Winter wheat acreage was. down
his year to 1900 acres compared
o an estimated $4,000 last and
1000 in 1852. Half the winter
wheat is considered as grain for
ale and half as feed. Average
.ield is pegged at 81 bushels per
ere compared to % last year.

he will catch on.
AS you drive through range country,
observe conditions on both sides of a
fence. You will often observe this con-
dition: Good grass on one side with the
cattle fat and contentedly chewing
their cuds; beat-up grass and weeds
on the other side with skinny cattle
crisscrossing the land with deep trails
looking for a good mouthful of grass.
Which of these two ranch operators
do you think will be eating T-bone

February 10 and II, 1855.
Present officers and directors will
serve until the association is incorpo-
rated. Ernest West, Agawam, is presi-
dent; Kenneth Mclean, Augusta, vice
president; Charles Voss, Conrad, Sec
rotary and Kenneth Mortag, Great

Nordan Is Superior
Crested Wheatgrass

NORDAN, A SUPERIOR new variety
of crested wheatgrass, has been re-
leased for increase to Northern Great
Plains seed growers by the U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture and the North
Dakota Agricultural Experiment Sta
ton. This variety is adapted to the
Dakotas, Montana, eastern Wyoming,
and northern Nebraska, an area that
depends heavily on drought-tolerant
crested wheatgrass. 1t is also being
tested in the Intermountain Region
farther west.
Nordan is the taller, more productive
and better adapted of two wheatgrass
species growing in the Northern Plains,
ranging into Canada. 1t was introduced
to this country more than half CEN
tury ago, re-introduced in 1915, and
came into wide use following the
droughts of the early 1905.
The new Nordan is superior in sew

HOWDY, FOLKS.

HOWDY, FOLKS.
Range conservation leads to good
neighbor relations. How come? Ex-
plain yourself, you might say.
Well, cows, like people, are always
trying to get the best living possible.
We don't eat sow-belly if we can af-
ford T-bone steaks. Cows won't eat
weeds and cheatgrass if luscious tall
grass is available. If only fence sep
arates good eating from poor eating,
that fence must be mighty good to
keep a COW out. A legally defined
fence with three wires and 20 foot
post spacing hardly slows range cow
down if she is really hungry.
What happens? She crawls through
the fence. If she is your cow your
neighbor has a kick coming. Many
neighbors have lost friendships over
trespassing stock. If you want your
stock to stay home and leave the

eral ways to the commercial standard
wheatgrass. The latter is mixture of
many strains of widely varying quality.
Nordan is a uniform, pure single strain
the best found so far. It is noted
especially for the vigor and strong
first-year growth of the seedlings in the
severe Northern Great Plains climate.
Wherever tested, it has given full, uni
form stands. The large seeds, well
stocked with reserve food, get the
plants off to a good start.
