THE ICKALARA EAGLE fINISMON,1 1 MEASURE STATE FARM A ! ! \ \ I D LIVESTOCK Montana 1925 larley :Crop Above 4,000 9 000 Bushels (From the Montana State College). w HEN the prohibition amend- ment becatne effective in 1919 it was freely predicted that the farmer's market for barley would be demoralized and that the produc- tion of this crop would be seriously affected. This year with an estimated crop of 227,000,000 bushels the na- tion is producing the third largest barley crop in its history. Montana is doing even better. In 1920 there were 64,000 acres devoted to the pro- duction of this crop, this year barley was grown on 186,000 acres, an in- crease of almost 300 per cent. The yield in Montana in 1920 was 1,152,- 000 bushels this year it is estimated at more than four million bushels. The reason for the great Increase in interest in this crop is apparent. Farmers are finding that barley 113 just as effective in coaxing cheerful grunts from contented hogs as it was in giving the desired \tang\ to the amber colored fluid of pre -prohibi- tion days. Hogs thrive on barley, and when the proper strains and verities are used it is as dependable a feed crop as can be grown. When supple- mented with legume hay, skim milk or tankage, barley If; one of the best hog fattening feeds. Experiments by Dr. W. E. Joseph of the Montana Experiment Station prove the value of barley as a fatten- ing feed for hogs. On the value of different grains for hog feeding Dr. Joseph says: \Limited direct com- parisons and rather extended indi- rect comparisons indicate that hul- leas barleys are among the best ce- real grains for feeding swine. Hull barleys are a little more variable in feeding value, depending on the grade. Compared with hulless barley the feeding value of hull barley de- pends on the other feeds used in the ration. Trials at this station indicate that whelk led with skim mUk or tankage sad alfalfa hay the best grades of hull barley are practically equal to bailees barley. When fed with supplements of any kind, or with suppleeseats of loyi value, the difference ranges from eight to 16 per cent in favor of the hulloes bar- leys.\ In trials at the Montana Experi- ment Station. wheat and barley proved equally effective in putting on weight on bogs. Two lots of pigs ot ten each were had 72 days. One lot received wheat and tankage and the other barley aad tankage. Both lots average 1.341 pounds gain per day per hog and in each case 3.6 pounds of grain and .3 pound of tankage were required for each pound of grain. Two other lots of 10 pigs each were used in comparing corn with barley. Tankage and alfalfa hay were the supplementary feeds in each case. Cora gave an average daily gain of 1.21 pounds and the pigs on barley made an average daily gain of 1.26. This showed a slight advan- Cage in favor of barley, particularly since each pound of grain required 3.63 pounds of corn and but 3.66 pounds of barley and the pigs fed on corn required slightly more tankage and more than 100 per cent more al- falfa hay_ In another experiment barley proved greaUy superior to oats. Ground hull barley and alfalfa put on an average da.Uy gain of .97 pounds, a mixture of equal parts of ground hull barley and ground oats with alfalfa hay showed but .82 pounds in average daily gain; and ground oats and alfalfa gave only .64 pounds daily gain. The ground barley ratio& required slightly less alfalfa thaa Use other two ratione. WOULD ESTABLISH ITALIAN COLONY NOVEL PLAN PROJECTED NEAR BILLINGS BY MICHAELE BROCIA Italo-American Village Will be Lo- cated on Spring Creek and Will be Home of Immigrants Skilled in European Gardening and Farming Plans for the establishment of Armine, an Italo-American village on the line of Yellowstone and Big Horn countlee, have advanced so far diet Brocia, repree- sentative of the Montana Indus- trial and Land Development cor- poration, incorporated under the laws of Colorado, ham gone east to remain until February, working up the plan from the end through which the selected immigrants will arrive. The plan i8 to settle immigrants skilled in agriculture and gardening. The Italian government looks favor- ably on the plan and will lead such aseistance as will expedite it. Itoliana willing to become pioneera SR well as American citizens in the minimum of time under the naturalization laws are to be sent to Montana to settle the village, which is to be on Spring creek, 21 miles east of Billings. The village will introduce the Eu- ropean system of farmers living in villages and tilling their land in tracts outside, inatead of living di- rect on the farms as is done in Amer- ica. The idea is to develop communi- ty phases and avoid Isolation, of which there will be sufficient in the fact that the village will be plotted in a land alien to the settlers and surrounded by strangers, at least at the outset. With development of agriculture to the stage where industry can be introduced, another step is to be taken in the introduction of maca- roni factories, silk plants, lace mak- ing and Italian cheese making. Mr. Bolivia has left the develop- ment of plans in this state, mean- while in the hands of Joseph Faye, a well known Billings Italian -Ameri- can. The name selected for the vil- lage is that of Mrs. Bracts, who has been an inspirer of her husband and the cerperatioa in the development of the plan.

Rains, followed by warm weather, caused many wild oats to sprout and start growing. By giv- ing their Bummer fallowed fields an extra cultivation the oats are killed, giving the farmers that much better start for next spring's work. • • Marysville, one of Priontana's old- est mining camps, was the scene of a new kind of celebration last month when the local 4-H club held its achievement day program. Club members, their parents and friends joined in viewing the exhibits pre- pared by the club members, to illus- trate the accomplishments of- their efforts in clothing making. Prizes were awarded to the winning ex- hibitors. * * • The farm women of the Savage Community, in Richland county, have organized a home demonstra- tion club to conduct a program of home improvement work during the winter months. • • • The term \summer fallow\ may go into discard in Roosevelt county if the suggestions of a number of the farmers there are carried out. It is claimed that best results from fal- low come when the work is started early in the spring and contintA3d throughout the growing season. The farmers believe that the use of the word \summer\ in \summer fallow\ gives the impression that it is a mid - season job. It is suggested that the term \spring fallow\ be used instead. 4> 4> There were at least /5 furrow drills used in the planting of the win- ter wheat crop in Chouteau county this fall. Last year there were not more than two or three of such im- plements in the county. Practically every important farming community in the county has one or more furrow drills in use, and next season's grain crop will offer a good opportunity for comparison between furrow drill planting and the surface process. 4b • A carload of Blaine county hogs was exhibited at the more important fairs in Montana and the northwest this fall. The State fair, Midland Empire fair and the Havre Harvest festival were included in the circuit. A good part of the carload was made up of Chester White hogs which took part in the futurity contest at the Midland Empire fair. Hogs owned by club members were also Included in the carload exhibit. At all shows the Blaine county porkers gave a good account of therneelves. • # • Two carloads of cattle and one car- load of hogs were shipped to market by the Custer County . Shipping asso- ciation in September. Frank Birch- er, manager of the aesociation, re- ports prospects good for a fine sea- son's business. The shipments made last month contained some excellent stock and good prices were obtained. Both hogs and cattle were in good condition. The hogs went to west- ern markets and the cattle to St. Paul.. • • • In the annual demonstration testa in Valley county to determine which grain the best for forage purposes, rye showed up best this year. In the sweet clover testa the Arctic and common yellow varieties proved su- perior. • • • Bentley Sinclair of Fallon county won first place in Bliss Triumph seed potatoes at the Midland Empire fair this year. Albert Foss, also of Fal- lon county won second place in the commercial Bliss Triumph exhibits. Fergtui Wheat Honored. A. N. Boomer of the Grass Range district in Fergue county, who has grown considerable registered Mar- quis wheat this season, has just shipped 20 bushels of this \hiontana super wheat\ to the state depart- ment of agriculture and publicity at Helena, where it will be divided up into two -ounce bags, with a slip giv- ing information about it and distrib- uted to •isitors to the International Grain show at Chicago the coming winter. Commissioner Bowman, in seeking a grain to utilize in this novel way, learned of Mr. Boomer's crop and the supply was secured through County Agent Carl Peterson of Fergus.

Seoint L HARNESS Co GOVERNOR OPENS CHIN00!( FACTORY UTAH -IDAHO COMPANY'S PLANT NOW IN OPERATION IN MILK RIVER Sugar Plant Cost $1,000,000 to Con- struct; Prominent Men from State Attend Ceremonies of Formal Op- ening; Mortnens Repreeented. Northern Montana entered upon era of new industrial develop- ment a few days ago with the formal opening at Chinook of the Utah-Idaho Sugar company's mill- ion dollar factory. The ceremony ehich was held in the huge ware- house of the factory, was attended by 2,1500 people from the Milk Itiver valley and other sections of the state. Addresses were Made by Governor J. PI. Erickson,•for the state of Mon- tana; Bishop C. W. Nibley, of Salt Lake City, for the Mormon church and the directors of the Utah -Idaho Sugar company; E. C. Leedy, repre- senting President Ralph Budd for the Great Northern railway; Sam Stephenson, of Great Falls, for the people of central Montana; R. G. Linebarger, for the city of Havre, and W. H. Wattis, of Salt Lake City, general manager of the sugar - com- pany, for the operating department of the firm. Pledgee Good Will The temporary chairman of the meeting was H. B. Brooks, editor of the Chinook Opinion, who reveiwed the history of the campaign to get the sugar beet industry started in the milk River valley. He introduced T. Rucker, of Malta, editor of the Phillips County News, who presided at the ceremony and, in his opening remarks pledged the good will of his community for the continued success of the factory here. Closing the ceremony was a talk by B. It. Smoot of Salt Lake City, general superintendent of the Utah - Idaho company's sugar factories, who explained the process of making sugar from beets. Mr. Smoot is a brother of Senator Reed Smoot. Fol- lowing his comprehensive explana- tion of the factory's operation, many of those who had not already done so made a tour of the big plant. Delegates from Glasgow, Malta, iiarlern, Havre and many other northern Montana towns were enter- tained at a dinner at 1 p. m. by the Utah -Idaho Sugar company and the Chinook Commercial club. The meal was an elaborate one, served in courses, the 'main one being turkey. Sugar used was from the local fac- tory. During the dinner an orchestra furnished music. Amazement over the fertility et the Milk River valley was expressed by Bishop Nibley in his address at the dedication of the factory. The valley in his opinion is capable of producing enough !vete for several factories. An irrigated farm of 80 acres is large enough for any family, he continued, and an acreage of this size, intelligently farmed, will re- turn a good living. He pointed out that dairying goes hand in hand with the establiahment of the sugar beet industry. \What you need more than anything else is a lot of hard work- ing people,\ the bishop said in clos- ing. \You need more Olsons, 'ar- sons, Johnsons and more MacPher- sons, MacDougalls, and McSweeneys, in fact, all those with 'Mac' on their names. They're hard working, thrifty people, the kind that mould a great country.\ Proves Value of Project/4 The opening of the Chinook sugar factory, is an answer to those, per- ticularly in the federal government, who say that irrigation projects in Montana cannot be made successful ventures, Governor Erickson said in his address. Montana's future agri- cultural auccess depends, the govern- or continued, more on the successful development of its irrigation possi- bilities than it does upon the develop- ment of its non -irrigated sections. \You need irrigation for sugar beets, for dairying and for intensive farming,\ the governor said. \The federal government, 20 years ago, embarked on a policy of re- claiming arid lands. There are a number of federal projects still un- finished in Montana. In view of the possibility of a food shortage in this country not many years hence, it seema to me that these projects should be finished by the govern- ment, as a measure of protection against the future. With millions for battleships, surely we can find money to prepare our soil to feed our countrymen.\ In closing his address, the govern- or paid a high tribute to the hardi- hood, the vision and the thrift of the Mormon pioneers who made the Great American Desert blossom like a rose. He said he was glad to wel- come their great sugar company to Montana, and expressed confidence that the Mormons would aid in the development of this great state as they had aided Utah and Idaho. Seek More Farmers W. II. Wattis, general manager of the sugar company, made a plea for more people in the Milk River county. \Your sample population is fine,\ he said, \now lets see more of the same kind. You have everything here that should attract the right sort of farmers, comparatively cheap land, wonderful flimate and produc- tive soil. It should be easy to get new settlers. You have learned dur- ing the last summer that it takes labor to raise sugar beets. You can't expect a stable supply of labor un- less you have the large population.\ The new factory stands on a site just east of the city and covers 40 acres. The building proper is of brick and steel construction and is 70 feet wide and 100 feet long. It s 2o ta ,o n o ds o three stories high. There are enorm- ous storage warehpuses for tons of beets, 260 by 400 feet in size. The factory capacity is 120 tons of beets daily an output of 4,000 ‘ bags of sugar a day.

Jr.—editor, if you pleaee, of America's finest college year book for 1925. In a contest conducted by the Arts and Crafts Guild of Chicago for col- lege and school annuals of America, there were some 1,600 entries. The contest is to create interest in and work for better publications in col- leges over the country. The prize was awarded to the 1926 Montanan, year book of Montana State College. only two weeks ago with high praise for the work of the editor who had accomplished so much at a compara- tively small school of the northwest. But down here at Bozeman they were not surprised. When the 1926 Montanan came off the press there mow SOUDERS Editor of the 1925 Montanan, Am- erica's best college annual. was unanimous declaration that it was the finest in the hietory of the school. The fine respect for Mott Souders had caught the spirit of the State College, and had impressed it in print. To the State College stu- dents it was as if this boy in the wheel chair, surmounting difficulties that the rest of them hardly under- stood, had risen to heights of service to his school that few of the others approached. Today, from the newest freshman to the oldest senior, there is that friendly \hello Mott\ for the boy who has become one of the best known students of the college. Mott Couders, Jr., is the son of Dr. and Mrs. Souders of Red Lodge. Ile is taking the course in chemical engineering at the State College and will graduate next June. This spring he was chosen to the honorary order Septemviri, which makes him one of the seven acknowledged men student leaders of the institution.

So, it soon devel- oped that bears could not be induced by any means to come within ten miles of the place; and the horses and cattle, ever afterward, grazed in perfect peace and comfort. hundred acres of beets were planted in the Milk River valley this summer. Yields so far reported range from 10 and 11 tone to 22 tons an acre. The gasoline tax, now effective in 44 states, was originated in the state of Oregon in 1919. Z • A. A. Housman & Co.

A 211-aere benchland corn crop yielded in excess of 65 bushels an acre. according to W. E. Wiltner Havre merchant. who harvested corn on his place, 10 miles south of Havre a few days ago. The acreage was seeded about equally to 'Northwestern dent and Dakota white flint. The flint led slightly in the yield. The greater part of this field, Mr. Wiltner says, was sod broken for corn in 1923 and last year was seeded to oats. All of it was spring plowed this year, a few acres being broken. Some of the ears in this year's crop are 14 inches long and none are leas than 10. Most of it also is the 12 -row ear, and some ears have 18 rows of kernels. George Morgan, superintendent or the Assinniboino experimey.t station near Havre, declares the Wiltner corn to be the best he has Been this season. He added that 35 to 40 bushels an acre should be considered an average yield in this locality for the verities planted by Wiltner. Streets in London were not paved until 1633.
