Teagarden, Secretary Montana Irrigation Coinffressf In view of the statewide revival of interest in iraigation, which is re- flected in news stories from all sections of Montana, a review of what has been accomplished to date' in this field should be of general interest. The data herein given is from official sources, and is therefore - authoritative. In the tabulation immediately following will be found the record of _irrigation districts now in the hands of the Montana Irrigation Cominission, created by the recent special session of the legislature. Many other pro- jects are under discussion, but have not yet reached the stage _for action by the commission. These latter contemplate the irrigation of many hundreds of thousands of acres ii the aggregate, at a cost which will run into $75,- 000,000, at a minimum. As to Mit feature, more later in this article. • Projects Before the Commission . Cooper's Lake project, in •Powell county, 20,000 acres, estimated cost, $400,000. Reservoir system. Source of supply, Cooper's lake. Nine -Mile Prairie, Missoula coun- ty, 9,000 acres; estimated cost, $100,000; gravity system; source of supply, Big Blackfoot or Clearwater rivers.

Brockway project, McCone county, 3,000 acres; $140,000; reservoir and gravity system; source of supply, Red water, Duck and Ash creeks. Total or 87,000 acres and estimat- ed cost o $02,240,000. Th rey Act Project The following data on the progress and present status of the Carey act projects is a summary only. The story of these reclamation enter- prises, their hindrances and strug- gles, would be of interest at present only in a historic sense and is not at- tempted: Valier project—Total Carey land, 85,240 acres; total land in operation, 18,228; total cost of project, $4,257,- 467; total amount expended, $4,132,- 457.

Big Timber project—Total Carey land, 11,299; total Carey land in op- eration, 6,124 acres. Teton project—Total Carey land, 34,166; total in operation, none; total amount expended, $400,000. Flatwillow project—Total CE}reY. land, 7,769 acres; total Carey land in operation, none; total amount ex- pended, $14,000. Little Missouri project, Carter county — Total Carey land, 20,608 acres; total Cgrey land open, none; total cost of aoject, $250,000; total amount expended, $85,000. Federal Investments in Montana Of the thirteen million dollars, in round figures, invested in Montana reclamation„projects to date, by far the larger portion has gone into overhead expense. In this respect the reclamation service has been more sinned against than sinning.. The stinginess of congress, which has permitted only the receipts from pub- lic land sales to go into reclamation work, is responsible for the terribly long drawn out delays in completing government projects in Montana and all other reclamation states. Hence the demand that congress appropriate enough money to com- plete its work in a business -like way. The sooner it does this, the sooner will the lands be irrigated and the return Now of the money invested by the government set in.

It is evident, from the figures, that less than one-third, probably less than one-fourth of the land for which thee is water in abundance, is un- der irrigation in Montana. How much longer shall this sheer, wanton waste of nature's bounty go on? How much longer shall drought do its destructive work? Precisely until the people of Mon- tana aware to their opportunities, and proceed intelligently to make use of them. The fertile lands are here; the water is available; only action is re- quired. There is opportunity for the'pru- dent and profitable expenditure of not less than $250,000,000 in rec- lamation work in Montana. The state is rich, very rich, in potential credit. It is strong enough to provide a metr- ket at par, and at low rates of in- terest, for the bonds of the ifrigation districts which farmers and • land -owners are eager to form. The Montana Irrigation congress was organized with a principal pur- pose of setting in motion the politi- cal machinery necessary to putting the state behind just such a bond market. Because it was the people's busi- ness that was being tmdertaken, a low membership fee of $2 slier year was fixed. If the people respond the work will go on to early and gratify- ing suctess. Farmerp, business men, bankers and .profeisional men are eligible and their memberships are earnestly so- licited. Address, Montana Irrigation Congress, Box 137, Great Falls. (By Dr. W. J. Butler, State Veterinarian.) The amount of cotton seed cake, and the amount of hay that should be fed an animal during our winter season depends Ao a considerable ex- tent upon the_ Amount of cotton seed cake and the alnount of hay on hand. Under present conditions no one can determine how much winter we are going to have and how long we will have to feed. These- are ques- tions that must be figured by the in- dividual stock men. There are stock men who contem- plate feeding daily two pounds of cotton seed cake and five pounds -of hay per animal. My preference would be to feed one pound of cotton seed cake and 10 pounds of hay. Stock men will be perfectly safe in ration- ing cattle anywhere between these two points. In cold weather animals must be given bulk. That is, they must be given good fodder if they are to main- tain body heat. If you are short of hay and can get some straw, mix the straw with your hay. Even willow tops are good in cold weather, be- cause, as I have stated, to maintain the body temperature an animal must have bulk, as well as a concentrate, such as cotton seed cake. In the south, where they fatten cattle on cotton seed cake, they have given as high as nine pounds of cot- ton seed cake along with 66 pounds of corn silage for a period of 130 days //ithout bad results. The corn silage ( es a roughage seems to offset the bad effects of cotton seed cake, due undoubtedly to the succulent na ture of the silage. It is not to be understood that I recommend to the Montana stock men the feeding of anything like nine pounds of cotton seed cake. I simply write of the above feeding as an example of what can be done provided care is exer- cised and one has plenty of corn si- lage to feetl- The one point to be remembered is that animals should be started slowly on cotton seed cake. When you first start, give them about one-fourth of a pound. Continue this for three or - four days, or a week, then increase the amount to one-half pound and so on until you have reached the limit ot cotton seed cake which you are going to give. Without under- standing the definite amounts of what one has to feed, my advice is that you do not feed more than 2 1-2 pounds of cotton seed meal. If cattle are suddenly fed the maxi- mum amount of cotton seed cake, or are continued too long on this rich, concentrated feed, they may become poisoned. The symptoms will be a staggering gait, partial blindness, which may result in complete blind- ness, but from which they may re- cover. In some instances abortion may also occur. cotton seed cake is a splendid feed when it is combined in proper propor- tions with roughage feed. Red Deportation Bill Passes The immigration committee's bill providing for the deportation of all aliens affiliated with anarchistic or- ganizations was passed by the house. The vote Was unanimous. The bill provides for deportation of all aliens affiliated or who contributed either funds or personal service to any' or- ganization advocating sabotage, the overthrow of organized government by force, killing of government' offi- cials or the unlawful destruction of public or private property.

Montana, furs\ are bringing the highest prices ever and more trap- pers are going into the woods of the - Treasure state this season - than at any time in its history, according .to one dealer, who by direct purchases from the trapper -handles a go6d part of the catch every year in this sec- tion of the northwest. • Women have gone clean daft over furs, and this is particularly true of many of the varieties caught in Mon- tana. Dealers have been hard press- ed to meet the demand for furs this season and the next promises even greater ,demand. January 1 price lists, to be issued on the eve of the great auction sales in this country and abroad vs$11 show gains • on the most favored skins of from 10 to '60 per cent over those of last April. There are more animals this winter than in many years. And they'll be needed to meet the demand. Every farmer's boy and many city youths are trapping this year, the dealer declared. \We have had more calls gips far this season from ju- veniles\for trappers' guides, informa- tion on traps and baits and for best methods of skinning and handling than I remember in the '14 years I have been operating in Montana. Al- ' most every boy can trap wild animals and get away with it if given . the benefit of a little intelligent direc- tion as. to skinning,' drying, stretch- ing and taking care of skins. ' \Fur farming- is not as successful as it would appear at first 'glance. City folks, who don't know the great out of doors, figure that animals, se- gregated, fed .,.and cared for should produce better fur. Exactly the op- posite id true. Wild animals deter- iorate in captivity. They are not in their natural state. But the most important difference is the tempera- ment of the animal. ' \You've seen a dog or a cat bristle up its back when it gets mad? Well, all wild animals die fighting. Their guard, fur is set. That's the most im- portant thing, aside from skinning and handling, that I know of in get- Aing good fur. Their back fur is bristled up and it stays that way.\ ,SHIP YOUR CREAM (let Quick Returns If you have not get the ship- ping tags write us at once.
