LIKE EVERY OTHER industry, on and
off the farm, dairying is becoming highly
specialized Here in Montana and northern
Wyoming, as well as in other states, dairy
men are turning to modern equipment and
improved practices in their efforts to keep
production costs under control.
Bulk storage of milk on the dairy farm,
together with open housing, the milking
parlor and pipeline equipment, automatic
feed handling, are making steady progress
Through these methods farm family can
operate larger herd with less hired labor.
Frequently, the larger enterprise can be
supported on the same acreage through i'm
proved feeding efficiency and increased for
age yields resulting from greater use of fer
tilizer and other modern production prac-
tees.
All of this means that fewer part-time
dairymen will be able to operate profitably
in the future. The farmer who is trying to do
other things, in addition to running small
dairy herd, will find it more and more diff

Good Citizens Will Vote

If we want to buy piece Of farm equip
ment with which we are not familiar, we can
usually form an opinion as to which make
will be best for our needs by discussing the
matter with those who are better informed.
and by studying the advertising and descrip-
tive literature. In a similar way, we can
learn the relative merits Of different candi-
dates and issues if we are willing to take the
trouble.
The privilege Of voting in free election
is a precious one. Unfortunately, the vast
majority Of the people of the world are de-
MED this right. If we are to preserve this
freedom in America, we must exercise it.
What it all boilS down to is that if we
are good citizens we will vote on Nov. 6, I'M
less illness or some other circumstance be-
yond our control makes it impossible for us
to do so.

lions of better equipped and more efficient
producers.
Along with this improved operating eff
ficiency comes the development of higher
producing cows. Progress in breeding has
been greatly speeded by the widely used
tie Unique Of artificial dissemination
Through this method, good bull can now
service 10000 cows year. And new freez-
ing methods of preservation are being de-
veloped which may make it possible for one
sire to service as many as 100000 COWS an
nually. This means that the influence of the
very best dairy bulls will be greatly magni-
fled with consequent increase in produc-
ton per COW.

A STORY IN AN eastern newspaper
tells about a chic young thing, Mimi by
name, swishing into an exclusive New York
shop a few days ago to select her fall ward
robe.
About an hour later, she reappeared on
the avenue with "a grey flannel coat, knit
sweater with angora collar and beret to
match, cocktail hat and a washable house
coat" This young females appreciation Of
such finery seemed in no way diminished by
the fact that she is French poodle with an
indulgent mistress to cater to her whims.
Mimi no doubt one Of the fashion lead
ers of her set, was also outfitted with a
rhinestone collar, leather lead, trench
raincoat with hood, rubber boots, snow suit,
flannel pajamaS, nylon brush and six
months supply of DOglamor Freshmen"
which ran her total bill up to $170.
This extreme example of what some APP
parently over-civilized humans will do for
a canine companion led the newspaper re-
porter to make further investigation as to
the cost of owning and caring for pets of
various kinds in the United States. Believe
it or not, he found that the total bill is in

contend that if man fed himself as inteili-
gently as he can now feed his dog, humans
would pay out far less in doctor bills than
they do now. We can we'll believe that.
So we'll go along with the practical value
of prepared pet foods. And we can see the
Importance of proper veterinary service
Well even go so far as to accept the reason
ableness of an occasional going over of Fido
with scented shampoo compound.
But we can't contemplate that fantastic
wardrobe possessed by Mimi, the French
poodle, without coming to the conclusion
that Minis mistress would do we'll to leave
her pampered pooch in the care of her
maid and hotfoot it to the nearest pSychia-
trist. Cocktail hats and pajamaS for poodles
are going little too far even in this super
civilized age.

WHEN A PERSON fails to vote in an
election he usually has some excuse. But
very few of these alibis are legitimate.
After every election, we hear people
say they didn't take the trouble to go to the
polls because ''none of the candidates were
worth voting for,' or 81 got fed up with all
the campaign oratory,' or zone party is just
as bad as the other" or politicians are all
bunch of grafters so why take the trouble
of voting for any of them"
Ogden Nash described such non-voters
quite accurately in the following verse Of
his poem Election Day Is Holiday:
They have such refined and delicate palates,
That they can discover no one worth their
ballots
And then when someone terrible gets elected,
They say, there, that's what expected!
The fact is that there are differences be-
tween candidates, as well as between parties.

Blending alcohol with gasoline to pro-
vide use for surplus grain may be pushed
strongly during the next few months. The
1856 Farm Act provided for program of
new industrial uses for farm products.
Chairman of the commission set up to adj
minister the program is ]. L. Welsh of
Omaha, a grain man who has cruSaded for
years for the conversion of surplus grain
into industrial alcohol. 1t is reported that
Welsh wants the commission to recommend
a bill to Congress early next year to put
such plan in operation. Supporters of this
grain for alcohol program contend that it
would, within few years, provide an out
let for more than billion bushels of grain
year. The alcohol might be used for pro-
duction Of synthetic rubber and plaStics, as
well as for motor fuel. The catch is that

with petroleum.

ceptance in a recent marketing test in three

product may have considerable affect in
stepping up potato consumption.

number OF persons aged 10 or over Will
amount to about one person in nine. The
proportion will be still greater than that in

the free world will have to take some re-

of American abundance are to be eaten or
not"

Whether or not they win tri-
