Montana Creamery lutter Production is Increasing (From the Montana State College). m ONTANA produced more than 14,000,000 pounds of creamery butter in 1924 and unofficial reports for the first nine months of the present year, indicate that a new record will be etsablished with the close of 1925. Approximately half of the creamery butter produced last year was marketed out of the state. In 1922 the total amount of creamery butter produced was just about equal to the amount exported last year, showing a gain in total production of 100 per cent in three years. These fugures indicate the possible fuutre development of Montana along dairy lines, says J. A. Nelson, in charge of dairy manufacture at Montana State college, and they also indicate the responsibility resting on the produCers of the state today. On- ly upon the'production of high qual- ity can Montana's dairy industry thrive. A continued increase in pro- duction means a continued increase in exports and hiontana's exported butter goes into competition with dairy products front the nation's leading dairy producing centers. The dairy industry must be built upon quality, says hir. Nelson. Med- iocre butter brings lower prices and with the distance from market that Montana must contend with, Mon- tana producers must be assured of the highest prices. The competition with other states may be expected to become stronger in the future than it is at the pres- ent, advises Mr. Nelson. While Mon- tana is showing an encouraging dairy growth other states also are pushing this branch of production. Considerable fear has been expressed in recent years that dairying might be overdone and farmers have been warned in many sections not to push dairying too rapidly. Mr. Nelson be- lieves that the warning has a real significance, but that Montana need have no fear if it will produce and export only the highest quality pro- duct. The market for the best pro- ducts have never been saturated, he says, and it is hardly likely that there will be a time when the top grades do not command a substantial prem- ium over the ordinary run of pro- ducts. Every effort is being made by Montana State college and its branches. the Extension Service and the Experiment Station. to see that Montanal's dairy developtnent pro- ceeds along the proper lines. The pro- duction of quakily products is being emphasized as never before. The dairy division of the State depart- ment of agriculture through its in- spection service is working on the same matter and the various dairy producing and manufacturing asso- ciation of the state are lending their support. Some' of the creameries of the state are offering premiums to farm- ers; for high quality butter fat, many are also refusing to buy cream which does not measure up to the high standard of quality. At the same time farmers aro being aroused to the need of producing only the highest quality of product. State sanitary regulations governing the produc- tion of milk and the manufacture of dairy products are no longer looked upon as hindrances and restrictions, but as helpful guidee in building up the dairy industry. County agricultural agents have made the production of tjuallty creamery prodttcts a major project in their work. During the past sum- mer, Mr. Nelson visited every import- ant dairy section of the state, hold- ing meetings with creamery mana- gers and milk producers as a part of the \quality\ campaign. During the coming winter Montana State college will devote special ef- fort to its annual winter short course and one of the Important courses of- fered will be that ot dairy manufac- tureing. This was one of the most popular lines of the short course work last year and promises to at- tract even more students this year. The purpose of this course la to give students training in the manufacture of high quality dairy products. With dairying on the increase, Montana must prepare men to take care of the business as it develops. The short course opens January 4 and continues for a period of 12 weeks. Catalogues and information on the short course are now being distrib- uted and may be obtained by writing to J. O. Tretzven. principal of the Chort Course, Montana State College, Bozeman. MONTANA VICTOR WILL GET BONUS (From the Montana& State College). T HE Montana grower who wins the world's champion wheat cup at the International Grain and Hay show which opens at Chicago November 29, will be presented with a bonus of $150, according to an an- nouncement of the Montana exhibit committee. A total of $400 has been offered by various business con- cerns and organizations of the state to provide bonus for Montana's out- standing winners. The Montana Development associa- tion has offered a total of $325 for this purpose. The winner of the World's champion wheat cup will re- ceive $150. 'The Montana winner of first place in hard red winter wheat will receive $50, the winner of sweepstakes in oats will get 250. the sweepstakes winner in barley will re- ceive a bonus of $50, and first•place in timothy seed will bring $25. The Montana Life Inearance com- pany has offered a bonus of $25 for the Montana winner of the Durum wheat trophy. and the Montana Seed Growers' association offers $50 to the Montana grower who brings back first plea. in alfalfa seed. The committee explains that these bonuses are offered only to Montan growers who win the places men- tioned, and these bonuses are in ad- dition to the regular prizes; and awards offered by the International Grain and Hay show. A very gratifying response has met the efforts of the committee in raising the funds for bonuses and for defraying the expenses of sending the exhibit to Chicago. This excellent co-operation indicates that Mon- tana appreciates the opportunity of giving the state a leading place at the International show. according to the committee members. Producers are also showing a greater interest in the exhibits of this year than ev- er before. Entries are coming in ra- pidly and reports indicate that Mon- tana's high standard of quality will be more than upheld. Elbow grease holds down more jobs than soft soap.

Results of the experi- ments, which have been conducted under actual conditions, are decided- ly favorable. The seed grown is of high quality and the yields have been high in most cases. 0 0 • The commonly grown Turkey red winter wheat may soon find itself playing a role of lesser importance in Sheridan county. For the first time, farmers there are showing a decided interest in the newer and better iyelding varieties of winter wheat that recently have beeo de- veloped by the Montaua Experiment Station. A few plantings of Karmont and Montana 36 have been made this fall for comparison with Turkey Red and if these varities show up as well here as in other parts of the state, they will probably become the lead- ing varieties. 0 • 0 A project leader's school for rep- resentatives; of the various home demonstration clubs of Valley county will be held at Glasgow, November 20 and 21. Two, new clubs, one at North Glasgow and the other at Todd Lake, were recently organized. Both of the new clubs have selected the clothing project for their winter's work and their clothing leaders will fle at the Glasgow meeting. 4> • • Farmers' committee meetings were held in the communities of Bainville, Lanark, Pioneer, Culbertson, Enter - prize, Divide. Pershing and Volt in Roosevelt county last month for the purpose of checking up the results of the agricultural improvement pro- gram conducted during the past year and to outline plans for the continu- ation of that program in 1926. A county wide meeting will be held during the winter to outline the pro- gram of work for next year. • • • Poultry has become a big feature at the annual Phillips County fair. The fair at Dodson, this fall had 165 poultry exhibits, whereae, three years ago the poultry entries were limited to 12. The fair exhibits indicate the rapid improvement that is being made in the farm flocks of the county. • 4I • Poultry growers of Stillwater county are planning to 'organize a county poultry growers' association Meetings were held in a number 01 committees last month to perfs., ? plans for the organitation. It I. hoped that airangements can Isi• made to pool this year's turkey crop in time for the holiday marketing. • • o Yellowstone county will have least three certified bean seed grow- ers next year. Up to the present time bean seed improvement work has been confined largely to the selection of seed from the best plants in a field. This has resulted in decided improvement in the wey of increas- ing yields and eliminating disease. The work of developleg superior etrains has progressed far enough to warrant starting certification work with the best strains. • • • The trial plots for determining the possibility of growing seed peas in Lincoln county have turned out well. These tests were started last spring, with a great number of varieties. Farmers in all parts of the county co-operated with the work. Thresh- ing figures from the different plots 'show that an average of approxim- ately 20 bushels of garden pea seed was produced per acre. Garden peas produced the best results and it is proposed to center attention on this crop. • • • Sugar beet tests in Lewis and Clark county during the past Henson showed that beets grew about am well on alkali land as on some of the best irrigated land in the county. Gener- ally the testa were very successful showing a high tonnage and good quality. Tests are being made by the Utah -Idaho Sugar company to deter- mine the auger content of the beets. The results; on alkali land are con- aidered significent because they open the way for bringing many acres of such land into production. 49 • • The home demonstration clubs in Orinoco, Forsyth Flat and Castle Rock Communities in Rosebud coun- ty, have selected the nutrition pro- ject as outlined by the Montana Ex- tension Service for their work this winter. Asland, Lee and Hathaway communities voted to take up the clothing project. • Will Continue Advertising. The Pacific northwest will receive added advertising during November, according to a bulletin sent out by the railroads contributing to the carrying out of the campaign. One ad will appear in magazines reaching a total of 6,608,000 subscribers. The other, which will appear in monthly magazines only, will reach 2,122.000 subscribers. The latter ad endeavors to build up foreign trade through the eastern part of the country to the Orient. The other is aimed to 'attract families to live in the northwest. T. - V McCARTHY BROS.

NEW STATE ORGANIZATION IS PATTERNED AFTER ONE IN CALIFORNIA Object is to Incre-ase Consumption of eow's Product and Relieve COndj. lion of Undernourishment Among t'itildren and Others in Montana. At a meeting to be held in Great Falls or Bozeman during the com- ing January will be perfected the permanent organization Of the Montana Dairy council, of which a temporary organization has been a frected. The council, Which has for its pur- po:-,e the increasing of the consump- tion of milk and the relieving there- by of the undernourished condition of the children of the state and the resultant increase in the state's de- rnqnd for milk, is being patterned after thee California Dairy council. The latter was found six years ago and has been very successful in ac- _complishing those very results. The meeting recently held in Helena was attended by representa- tives of the state department of agri- culture, the state board of health, the anti -tuberculosis society,,parent- teacher organizations, various other public welfare associations, dairy- mek-milk distributors and dairy pro- ducts manufacturers of lielena, Great Falls and Butte. In a discussion of the objects Sam H. Greene, of San Francisco, secre- tary -manager of the California Dairy council, told of the great increase in the per capita consumption of milk and butter brought about, and the improved health conditions of the school children through the activities of the council in that state. The meeting resulted in tho de- cision to form a permanent state council and $2,000 was pledged by those in attendance to carry on the work preliminary to the permanent organization. • George II.

IITTE, the greatest consuming center in Montana, will lutve an opportunity to learn the super- iority of Montana potatoes at the commercial potato show to be held there Novemobr 12-14. Already Mon- tana growers have pledged them- selves to exhibit more than 260 sacks of United States No. 1 grade potatoes and the city of Butte is making preparations for an out- standing exhibit. W. E. Pollinger, superintendent of the horticultural sub-station'of the Bitter Root is su- perintendent of the show, assisted by Frank Venable and Dr. Peter Potter of the Butte Chamber of Commerce. The majority of growers who have announced that they will exhibit at the Butte show are from the counties of Lewis and Clark, Madison, Jeffer- son, Ravalli, Lake, Flathead, Powell, Missoula and Gallatin. In Madison county, 90 per cent of the leading growers will be represented. Lewis and Clark county has had a very RUC- cessful potato year and will have a strong exhibit. F. M. Harrington, horticulturist at Montana State college is directing the potato show and ill receiving the active support and assistance of the leading potato growers of Montana, county agriculturists and Smith - Hughes men. Mr. Harrington announces that the Butte show, to be of the greatest value, should be representative of as many potato growing sections of Montana as possible. Growers from all parts of the state are invited to send exhibits. The show is strictly commercial. Exhibits will be in sack lots, and truly representative of the potatoes grown and sold in Montana. There are no restrictions as to kind or variety but all potatoes must come up to the United States No. 1 grade. J. A. Fossum, 'federal inspector at Butte is receiving the shipments of potatoes for the show and all exhibits should be sent to him on or before November 10. The commercial potato show at Butte, according to Mr.' Harrington, is a part of the campaign to develop the local markets for Montana grown products. Butte annually consumes from three to four hundred carloads of potatoes and should be one of the best markets for local growers. Ac- tually, however, a good share of the potatoes reaching the Butte consum- ers are grown in Idaho, a fact that has been brought about largely because Montana growers have not been insisteat enough in advertising the high quality of their product. It is also true, says Mr. Harring- ton, that a combination of seemingly remote circumstances have given Id- aho the advantage, and through thetn the people of Butte and other cities have become highly partial to Idaho potatoes. The quarrantine against alfalfa weevil a number of years ago made it necssary for Idaho growers to screen their imtatoes at the car door and to place them in new sacks before they could be shipped out of years up to last summer, was selected as secretary -manager of the Montana council and an advisory committee was named to aid him, this commit- tee consisting of Dr. J. X. Newman. In charge of the hygenic labrattYry of the state board of health. G. A Norris, chief of the state division of dairying, J. O. Tretsven, dairy spe- cialist at the state agricultural col- lege, and A. G. Scholes, of Helena. representing the dairy products man- ufacturers of the state. the state. This gave their potatoes an appearance of high quality which was quickly noted by the consumer. A short time later Idaho availed it- self of federal inspection service which further emphasized the qual- ity idea. During this time Montana growers were not making , the proper effort to meet the competition. Since then, however, Montana growers have realized what they were' losing. A federal inspection service was established, a potato growers association was organized, and these working closely with Montana State College, have given a new impetus to potato growing in Montana re- sulting in the present intense cam- paign to show Montana consumers that Montana potatoes will rank with the beet that can be grown. The present season, according to Mr. Harrington, is of little concern to Montana growers, because there is a very active demand for Montana potatoes from the leading consuming centers of the country, due to a short national crop. Prices are high and promise to increase. This, however. is the best possible time for laying the foundation for building up a state market for Montana potatoes. says the horticulturist, when out of the state potatoes are harder to get. Once the Montana markets have been fully developed. Montana growers will always have a good home mar- ket which will be of great advantage to them when the national situation is less favorable. 6,stt•• -711 4e) 4 , e . e Vzi .0 0 4 ( * y- • WEILLER &WEILLER L/I/E STOCA' CONN/SS/ON SO.ST.,PAUL--- - -MINNESOTA 44* MONTANA FARMERS ito. to get the Price for our 11rulti at the leu,t expenne.
